readx;
Han Jin and the others rode unhurriedly towards the public cemetery in the eastern part of the city, and the young nobleman also unloaded a horse from the carriage and followed behind Han Jin and Lang Ning. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Why are you waiting for me?" Han Jin asked softly.
The young nobleman had already thought of a lot of words, but after colliding with Han Jin's gaze, he panicked somehow, and temporarily decided not to say it according to the original plan, but to tell the facts: "My lord, I actually saw you yesterday, and there was Miss Arlina at that time. ”
"Oh. ”
"Seeing you walk out of Irma's house with Miss Arrina, I think you must have a close relationship with Irma, so...... So......" The young nobleman became stumbling, he didn't know what to say, hesitated for a moment, and continued: "I have had some unpleasant things with Irma before, and if Irma has a chance, then I will probably be unlucky, so...... I want to get in touch with Irma first, even if it's for me to apologize and make amends, as long as he doesn't hold a grudge against me. ”
"What's unpleasant?" Han Jin asked.
"My father had a good personal relationship with Irma when he was alive, and I received a lot of help, and then I ...... Master Dismark wants to deal with the Morgan Chamber of Commerce, and Irma finds me and wants me to help me intercede with Lord Dismark. The young nobleman sighed lightly: "My lord, I am only a district magistrate, and I am not qualified to intercede with Lord Dismark at all! If I do go, not only will I not be of any help, but my family may be compensated, and in the end, I will refuse Irma." ”
"Oh, and then?"
Irma was so angry that she threw her wine glass. The young nobleman stroked his forehead and said with a wry smile: "It broke my head in one fell swoop, and there are still scars, if I frown, the scars will become very clear." ”
"You didn't take revenge on him?"
"Revenge?" The young nobleman's face became more and more bitter: "After all, he has helped me a lot, and he is still my elder, so let's fight." ”
Lang Ning turned his head and glanced at the young nobleman with a smile, it was Dismark who was going to deal with the Morgan merchant group at that time, and Irma beat him again, he didn't fall into the well, and the quality was not bad, since he was beaten with a wine glass, there must have been someone else next to him at that time, so it was impossible for him to lie, and he didn't dare to lie.
"When did you go to find Irma?"
"Just yesterday, you and Miss Arlina just left. ”
"You apologized?"
"Where is the opportunity to apologize?" said the young nobleman helplessly, "I just saw Irma, and he blasted me out." ”
"There must have been something else that happened later, right?" Han Jin said lightly, "These are not enough to explain why you have been waiting for me here. ”
The young nobleman hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "After I went home, the more I thought about it, the more scared I became, you are the master of the Holy Crown City, and Irma has your trust again, if Irma wants to take revenge on me, I have no way to resist, and then ...... I thought about it for a long, long time and decided to let one of my friends ...... Well, he's an eighth-order thief who let him sneak into Elma's house. ”
"And then?" Han Jin raised his eyebrows.
"My lord, I have absolutely no other meaning. The young nobleman's face turned pale, and he said nervously, "I just want my friend to warn Irma that I do not lack the courage to die together, and if he really wants to deal with me, then I will fight with him." ”
"I know. Han Jin smiled, "You already knew about Irma's death, right? If you really want to do something, you should try your best to erase the traces you left behind." Being here is partly because you do have a clear conscience, and on the other hand, because you want to take advantage of the opportunity, right?"
The young nobleman looked stunned, and only after a long time did he take a long breath, wipe the cold sweat from his head, and said with a wry smile: "My lord, you are really ......"
"Okay, let's talk about it, what's going on behind the scenes?" Han Jin said.
"Last night, Irma was in a very disorderly mood, laughing and crying, and saying that he was saved, that he had finally waited for this day. My friend had been lurking for a long time, but he had never found a chance to be alone with Irma, until midnight, when Irma was ready to rest, and my friend was just about to approach Irma, but suddenly heard Irma let out a short scream. The young nobleman said solemnly: "My friend is very scared, at that time Irma has extinguished the magic lantern, he can't see the scene in the room clearly, but he senses an extremely murderous, bloody aura, my lord, I know my friend very well, his courage has always been very big, can scare him like that, prove that the murderer of Irma must be a very terrifying strong man!"
Han Jin was silent, could it be that there was any ulterior secret about the Morgan Business Group?
"My lord, that's not the most important thing. The young nobleman said, "Last night, Irma was resting in the room of a concubine, and when he was killed, although the screams he uttered were short and not loud, I believe that the concubine must have been able to hear them clearly, but ...... Today, Irma's family reported that Irma died of a violent illness. ”
"What's your name?" Han Jin said suddenly.
"Schumann, sir, my name is Schumann. The young nobleman looked surprised and delighted.
"Congratulations. Lang Ning turned around and said with a smile: "You have seized the opportunity." ”
"Lord Lang Ning, please take care of me in the future. The young nobleman looked very excited.
"You know me?" Lang Ning was slightly surprised.
"Of course, I saw you at the banquet, and although you just had a glass of wine and left in a hurry, my memory has always been very good, so I remember it well. ”
"I am reminded of the saying that opportunity always favors those who are prepared. Han Jin said lightly, and then pointed forward: "That's the cemetery, right?"
"Yes, sir. Schumann urged his horses and rushed first, and several men dressed as guards jumped out of the bushes around the cemetery and met Schumann.
"How's it going?" asked Schumann aloud.
"Young master, the burial ceremony has long been over, and it has been buried now. A big man replied while peeking at Han Jin and Lang Ning.
"My lord, what should we do if we are a step too late?" asked Schumann looking back.
"Let's go inside. Han Jin also jumped off the war horse.
The cemetery was quiet, there were about a dozen people standing in front of a new grave, they were divided into four groups, all of them seemed to be immediate relatives, because each group was headed by a middle-aged woman, judging by their age and the way they stood, it should be the middle-aged woman's child, but outside of the four groups, there was a young woman who was excluded and seemed very lonely.
"That woman is Elma's concubine, named Jora, whom Irma married the year before last, and has not had children since marriage. Schumann whispered.
The people who were holding the funeral were stunned when they saw a group of people coming over menacingly, in fact, Han Jin and Lang Ning's expressions were very flat, and Schumann was also silent, but Schumann's guards raised their heads one by one, murderous, they knew their task, and they also knew who their young master was waiting for, they could do things with the lord who was high, they couldn't bear this glory, in plain words, they were not excited, but excited.
Han Jin looked at the new grave that had just been filled in the soil, turned around for half a circle, and said lightly, "Dig it up." ”
Han Jin gave an order to the generals of the Riptide Legion, although they didn't think that Lang Ning would disobey the order, but they would not act until Lang Ning made a statement, because they were regular soldiers, but those guards were different, as soon as Han Jin's voice fell, and before Schumann could speak, those guards rushed forward with a roar, and the posture of 'seeing death as home' not only frightened several underage children, but also scared a grave keeper to sit on the ground.
Then, the guards snatched the shovels from the hands of several grave keepers and dug up the grave with all their might, while Irma's relatives were stunned for a moment, and then broke out en masse, crying and scolding, and several boys picked up stones from the ground, and some pounced directly.
"Bold!" the leaders of the guards shouted with their swords drawn in their backs, and the other guards who had no tools also drew their weapons and stared at the crowd fiercely.
In Dismark's bloody purge of the Morgan merchant group, Irma finally saved his surname, in order to avoid suspicion, he didn't even dare to hire a guard, the main force in that crowd, except for a group of children, there were only two old servants left, seeing the guards' tense posture, they were all suppressed, and even the cry of the child did not know when it disappeared silently.
"You scoundrels, you want to desecrate the dead!" said the priest who had just presided over the funeral, his face contorted in anger, and he raised his scepter in his hand.
The priests in the Holy See are strictly ranked, and they are divided into deacons, priests, bishops, cardinals and archbishops according to the level of magic, and they are divided into two categories from the nature of their work, one is the battle priest, the other is the priest, Jaydis belongs to the former, the main responsibility of the battle priest is to protect the Holy See, and the main responsibility of the priest is to spread the glory of God, and the gap between the strength of the two can be imagined.
The priest's magic was only halfway chanted before he was surrounded by the guards, but fortunately, without Han Jin's order, they didn't dare to go too far, and only pushed the priest to the ground, followed by another flurry of punches and kicks.
"Stop! Stop!" Schumann was furious.
The guards raised their heads and saw that Schumann's face was blue, and they couldn't help but be stunned one by one.
"Schumann, if you really want to make a difference, at least have the ability to restrain your men. Han Jin said lightly: "Remember, I'm not Disneymark. ”
"I understand, sir. Schumann only felt that his chest was about to explode, after talking on the road, it should be able to make him score some points, and the performance of the guards must have been deducted a lot, but now is not the opportunity to scold his subordinates, he can only endure it first.
"Scoundrels, you scoundrels......" The priest struggled to get up from the ground, screaming in a trembling voice, he had been beaten to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, this humiliation was too much for him to bear, as he took out a magic scroll, but his hands trembled violently, and he groped for a long time, but he couldn't open the magic scroll, if it was replaced by an enemy, it is estimated that he would have been killed hundreds of times.
The expressions of the guards changed, they wanted to rush up to stop them, but they didn't dare, let the other party release the magic, they felt scared again, and they lost ground for a while, and then scattered with a bang, and it was better to die an unlucky ghost than everyone to die together.
For a long time, the priest finally shook off the magic scroll in the waiting of everyone, and threw it out violently, and then the magic scroll turned into a white light that went straight to the sky, and after flying into the sky, it exploded in the shape of an umbrella, and now it was dusk, and the white light that exploded was particularly eye-catching, even if it was more than ten miles away, it could be seen clearly.
"Huh...... You have insulted the angel of God, and this is your retribution!" the priest laughed miserably as he gave everything away.
"Digging you guys, what are you doing?" Han Jin said coldly.
A few guards woke up from a dream and continued to dig hard.
After a short time, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves outside, and the hooves were getting louder and louder, Lang Ning almost grew up in the barracks, he didn't need to look at it at all, just listen to it and he could calculate that the number of knights was about a hundred horses.
As the Knights of Light broke into the cemetery, the priest waved his scepter and shouted, "Warriors of God, these are the people who have desecrated the peace of the dead and insulted the dignity of the priests, come and cleanse this place with your blood!"
The knights in the first row neatly raised their knight guns, lined up in a line, and rushed in the direction of Han Jin, and Irma's family members fled to the periphery in panic to avoid suffering from the pond fish.
Lang Ning couldn't help frowning, with Han Jin's strength, of course there was no problem with self-preservation, but it would be difficult to do it without hurting people, and he was also angry, the Holy Crown City was Han Jin's territory, even if something happened, he should always notify the local garrison and swagger to pull the Bright Knights out, what's going on?!
In fact, there will always be all kinds of contradictions between the clergy and the royal power, and if they can do it safely, the two sides will inevitably maintain restraint, compromise and tolerate each other, and as long as one party behaves irrationally, the contradictions will be immediately triggered.
A wisp of gloom flashed in Han Jin's eyes, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, appeared in the middle of the cemetery, and with a flick of his right hand, a flaming fire sword appeared, and then he plunged the fire sword into the ground as if no one was around, leaving only a small half of the sword body, and then he returned to the same place.
Although Han Jin didn't say a word from beginning to end, all the Knights of Light understood what it meant, the position of the sword represented the boundary, and those who crossed the boundary were responsible for the consequences.
It's a pity that they don't know Han Jin, Han Jin doesn't even bother to interfere in the government affairs of the Holy Crown City, let alone go to the Knights of Light, almost all the Knights of Light regard this warning as a provocation, and no one in their eyes is a provocation!
Han Jin looked at the grave that was gradually being dug up casually, but his eyes became colder and colder.
"My lord......" Lang Ning couldn't help but feel glad secretly, if he didn't accompany Han Jin out today, this turmoil would inevitably happen, and he often came into contact with Han Jin, Guevara and others, Lang Ning found that whether it was the hearty and resolute Guevara, the calm and tranquil Jadis, or Han Jin who gave people a sense of sunshine, they all had the same characteristics, that is, pride and conceit, of course, this is not derogatory, it is an attitude that you want to come, then come. It's hard to imagine that Han Jin would shout loudly when he encountered something, what kind of lord am I, how dare you do it, the one who can shout such words is by no means a real powerhouse, but a watchdog.
This kind of thing...... I can only come, being a dog once is nothing, Lang Ning showed a helpless smile, and immediately roared angrily: "What a bold man! Lord Raphael is here, what do you want to do?!"
"Your Excellency......" suddenly heard a roar in the charge of the Knights of Light: "Stop!!"
The current three words 'Raphael' do not just mean a dragon slayer, Han Jin after killing Dragon City Elder Maxwell is not too much to describe it as Weizhen Huanyu. The reason why Dragon City and Dragon Domain are so powerful is precisely because many of the high-ranking dragon clans who have mastered the magic of dragon language have broken through the final barrier.
What does Elder Dragon City represent? What does it mean to be able to kill such a strong man? The answer is about to come out!
Not only in the northeast region, as time passes, the brilliant achievements created by the name 'Raphael' will spread everywhere with the mouths of travelers, and it will not be long before Nikolai, who dominates the southwest region, will also hear about it, as for whether he will regard the other party as his most powerful enemy like Han Jin, that is his own business, and others cannot know.
The Bright Knight's charge shook for a while, and it was able to restrain the war horse outside the Fire Dragon Sword, but the charge came to an abrupt end, and they inevitably collided with each other, and immediately became a mess.
A knight in silver battle armor stepped out from the side, glanced at the fire dragon sword, and then jumped off his war horse and strode towards Han Jin.
When he got closer, the knight took off his face armor, and Lang Ning saw that the other party was Aode, one of the three paladins, and his heart suddenly shuddered, a priest was in distress, and he actually led out the dignified paladin, ......which was a little unbelievable! The Knights of Light want to neutralize the Holy Crown, so they have been waiting for this opportunity?
Odd glanced at the priest, bent down, and whispered, "My lord, what the hell is going on?"
"Misunderstanding. Han Jin replied lightly.
"Misunderstanding?" Odd's tone raised slightly, and he glanced at the priest again, the priest had been beaten so badly that even his front teeth had been knocked out, and it was just a misunderstanding to be beaten like this?
"Actually, it's not a misunderstanding. Lang Ning continued: "That guy has no eyes, and he actually scolded the adult as a villain, and it was light to teach him a lesson." ”
Odd frowned, his gaze coldly turned to the priest.
"Lord Odeh, they ...... They are blaspheming the dead!" the priest was also alarmed.
The guards were still digging hard, and the coffin was already faintly revealing underneath, and Odd said softly, "My lord, what are they doing?"
