Chapter 18: For You, I Skinned Them
Hearing Ferdinand's words, Du Chen was puzzled, and while quietly looking at his father's expression, Duke Angels was also at a loss.
Ferdinand added: "I want to talk to Francis alone, is that okay?"
"Of course, Francis, ask the godfather to go to your bedroom!" said Angels respectfully.
Du Chen took Ferdinand to his small tower, and when he saw where Du Chen lived, Ferdinand frowned, "Duke Angels, is your son, the virtue of St. John's City, living in such a place? I have also heard that you don't like you Francis, this is not right!"
"Yes, the godfather is right, I'll change the room for him!" Facing the godfather, Angels lost the momentum of the deputy chief of the empire, like a junior.
"Alright, everyone is waiting outside, Francis, you and I go in!"
Ferdinand took Du Chen's hand and walked to the third floor of the tower, he looked at the small bedroom, and said as if absent-mindedly: "Francis, how much do you remember about your past?"
Du Chen was confused, and he didn't know why, so he had to deal with it carefully.
"Dear Godfather, you know, my brain used to be not very useful, after a serious illness, although I understood a lot of things, I also forgot a lot, and now, my understanding of the past is almost blank. ”
"Well, I'm well aware of that, then, if you don't mind, let me tell you, two things about your childhood!"
Ferdinand sat down on Du Chen's mahogany chair, put his hands on the table, and said slowly: "When you were seven years old, you once went out alone and got lost, and walked to the Newbell River outside the city of St. John, and had a confrontation with a few children playing by the river...... Sit down and talk about it!"
Du Chen sat on his white velvet bed and said with a smile: "It must be that I was lucky not to be drowned." ”
"Yes, you were rescued by a fisherman downstream, and when you got home, because you couldn't tell the reason for the incident, Duke Angels thought you were playful and got your clothes wet, so he punished you severely!"
"You know, my father didn't like me. Du Chen shrugged.
"Well, I know, but I'd like to tell you something you don't know - the next day, the bodies of several children were found on the banks of the Newbell River, and they were all skinned!"
"It's cruel, that's just a child!" Du Chen blurted out, but he reacted immediately, and Ferdinand seemed to be hinting......
"In view of the fact that the way of death of those children is the ancient 'skinning and hiding clothes', the Holy Sect took over this matter, but the final investigation results were nothing, and in the end, the death of those children became a big unsolved case of the Holy Sect!"
Ferdinand's deep purple eyes stared at Du Chen, as if to find something out of his reaction. But he was disappointed, Du Chen really didn't know anything, and there was only a frank blankness on his face.
"The second thing, when you were twelve years old, there was a lord who mocked you...... I'm sorry, but for the sake of clarity, allow me to use some insulting words, the official ridiculed that your hair did not match that of the red-haired Sigru, that you were a mongrel, and secretly sent someone to beat you, but the next day, he was also skinned!
Ferdinand suddenly quickened his speech, and said hurriedly: "God announces, Fries tried to murder you, and the next day, he had someone skin him in St. John's Cathedral, and the whole family of twenty-seven was skinned and clothed almost at the same time!"
Could it be that Fries died because of himself!? Du Chen looked at Ferdinand in shock.
"Today, because the killing method of 'skinning and hiding clothes' is very ancient, I locked the scope of my investigation on some ancient families, and checked the records of all the descendants of the Titled Fighting God in Lanning in the past ten years, it's very interesting, isn't it?
Ferdinand motioned for Du Chen, who was nervous to stand up, to sit down, and said with a smile: "Something similar happened once, twice, it could be a coincidence, but will the third time be a coincidence?"
After speaking, he looked at Du Chen calmly.
All the intelligence shows that Du Chen has a very powerful fighting god around him who is secretly guarding him, and anyone who threatens Du Chen will be skinned! Moreover, this fighting god has the ability to kill Fries quietly under the guard of hundreds of masters in St. John's Cathedral, so this person is already so powerful that the Holy Sect has to pay attention to him!
The Holy Sect does not allow the existence of forces beyond their control, this is a centuries-old tradition, so today, Ferdinand came to see Du Chen in person and told him about it, which is to test Du Chen's reaction, and at the same time to check Du Chen's living environment with his own eyes, in order to find out the clues of the mysterious fighting god.
But Ferdinand was disappointed, the information he had at hand and the facts he saw with his own eyes showed that Du Chen really didn't know anything.
"Godfather, maybe this is a coincidence?" Du Chen quibbled, but he already believed this fact in his heart.
Damn, how much important news is missing from little Francis's memory!?
The world of fighting gods is a theocratic society, and if someone kills people for him in the cathedral, it is to provoke the Holy Religion, which will cause him great trouble!
"Hehe, kind child, you don't have to panic, I believe, you don't know who the mysterious guardian fighting god is!" he spread his hand, "After all, high-level fighting gods are very eccentric, and I myself am also a weird old guy who can understand the methods of high-level fighting gods. ”
Du Chen's mind was quickly calculating, and he suddenly had an idea, and said with a smile: "Dear Godfather, I am a descendant of the Titled Dou Shen and a faithful believer of the Holy Sect, then, my guardian Dou Shen must also be a friend of the Holy Sect, can you forgive him and me for the mistake he made this time?"
Isn't that funny, little ghost!!) Ferdinand laughed.
It is true that there is a powerful fighting god behind him, but this fighting god can be friends with the Holy Sect.
As for what kind of friend to be, it depends on the strength of the mysterious fighting god. So, now Ferdinand has sent messengers to the Holy See to bring in criminal law experts, who can tell from the skinning technique of the mysterious god of battle how powerful he really is.
Before the results of the investigation came out, what Ferdinand had to do was to give the fighting god some meeting gifts first, so that the two parties would have a good impression when they met later.
And this meeting gift will naturally be sent to Du Chen.
