Hearing that Bishop Vane was so sure of the identity of the killer, Russell no longer questioned too much, after all, Bishop Vane had more information than himself.

Russell asked, "In that case, who killed Eddard and what was his purpose?"

Bishop Vane nodded slightly, "Knight Chief Russell, you did get to the point, fortunately, the church has been dealing with Ed for a long time, so we have information about the person to whom Ed is loyal. ”

Bishop Vane took a portrait from the table and handed it to Russell,

"This is the one who manipulated Ed to collect money for himself, Marquis Red!"

Russell held the lifelike portrait in both hands and carefully observed the appearance of the Marquis of the Kingdom.

It seems that the Marquis of Red is a middle-aged male nobleman, with half-bald hair, a mustache like a roasted intestine on his mouth, and a scar on his face that is difficult to see in a nobleman.

Although the Marquis of Red was a little old, Russell could still see his unruly character in the Marquis's blazing eyes, and his calm expression also showed a cold heart.

"Bishop Vane, how did you get such a detailed portrait of the Marquis of Red?"

Russell put the portrait back on the table, then asked suspiciously.

Bishop Vane smiled mysteriously,

"The portraits of all the members of the royal family of the Heka Kingdom are kept in the library of the church, and you can look at whoever you want.

As for why the church knew about the relationship between Marquis Red and Ed, this was almost a matter known to the upper echelons of the kingdom, and Marquis Red did not want to hide it. ”

Russell smiled awkwardly and continued to inquire about the situation,

"Is this Marquis of Red the cause of this tragedy?"

The bishop shook his head and said, "I can't confirm this conjecture, Marquis Reid is very suspicious, but based on this rag, I can't conclude Marquis Reid's crime, at most all the suspicion is transferred to the head of the guards." ”

Russell said in a deep voice: "Francis of the Wizards Guild has become a man-eating monster, and Ed has been killed by the Marquis of Red, is there any connection between these two things?"

"Of course there is a connection!"

Bishop Vane explained, "The nobleman in charge of contacting the mission of the Wizards Guild at that time was none other than Marquis de Red!"

It finally dawned on Russell that the two previously unrelated events were closely linked by the Marquis of Red, who was part of the royal family.

If one connection is considered a coincidence, then two connections can hardly be called a coincidence.

And the central figure of these things is none other than the Marquis of Red of the Heka Kingdom!

Bishop Vane has made it clear at this point, and Russell also feels that Marquis de Red is very suspicious.

But the most critical problem now is that the church has no evidence to prove that it was Marquis de Reid himself who committed these crimes, and he is also the marquis of the kingdom, and even the church cannot imprison the nobles of the kingdom at will.

Suddenly, Bishop Vane asked, "Chief Russell, do you know why I called you over?"

"Bishop, do you want me to probe the evidence of the Marquis de Red's crimes?" replied Russell after a moment's thought.

"No one is better suited for this task than you, Buna and Sara have followed me for many years, and there are few nobles in the royal capital who do not know them.

On the contrary, you have not been in the royal capital for a long time, and only a few people in the church know about your recent promotion to chief cathar.

This is also my intention, in the eyes of outsiders, you are just a new knight cathar, which adds a layer of protection to your identity. ”

"Bishop Vane, do you want me to contact Marquis of Red?"

"That's right, I received information a few days ago that the mission of the Magician Guild has learned of Francis's disappearance and has begun to return to the royal capital, after all, a promising apprentice magician has disappeared from the kingdom, which is a big change.

In a few days, the mission of the Wizards Guild will return to the royal capital, and I will let you join the meeting when the time comes, and that is when you will contact the Marquis of Red. ”
