Chapter 323: Heavy Rain
It rained, it was raining heavily.
On a sweltering summer day, the rain swept across Aitlan, and the raging rain seemed to fill the entire space, roaring and lapping on the eaves and bluestones between the streets.
The surging rain gathered at the edge of the eaves into thin streams of water, and then fell heavily on the cold ground. Broken into large and small droplets in the air, stirring up a shallow white mist on the ground, these broken droplets gathered again and flowed down the cracks between the bluestones of the street into the sewers of the city.
Due to the sudden onset of heavy rain, the once bustling streets have become deserted. As far as the eye can see, the streets are usually bustling with people, but the only people who shelter from the torrential rain under the eaves of the shops tell of the once thriving popularity of this place.
The weather around Aitlan City is always like this, and the rainstorm will not come, but if it does, it will often not be light.
Even in the afternoon, the sky over Aitlan was dark, as if night was approaching.
The sweltering heat that had filled the air suddenly swept away, and the violent rain descended on this city on the border of the Demon Realm, accompanied by the gathering dark clouds.
The air is filled with the freshness of the earth, which makes people feel happy. However, in such weather, not many people dare to go out and enjoy this fresh air on the street.
However, Ian Banner, clad in heavy armor, completely ignored the refreshing fresh air. He straightened his body and stood quietly outside Duke Solio's bedroom, his straight body and resolute eyes like a resolute stone statue, unshaken by foreign objects.
And just after guarding in this violent heavy rain for an unknown amount of time, Ian suddenly saw several figures in the rain curtain gradually approaching. Because the pouring rain obscured the view, even Ian, who was a saint-rank warrior, couldn't see the faces of those figures clearly.
Although he can use the mental power scan to confirm the identity of the other party. But such an act is too rude for Ian to do without determining the danger of the other party. What's more, in the pouring rain, there are servants holding lamps to guide the way, and this kind of treatment is not something that the enemy can enjoy.
Two minutes later, the guests passed through the dense rain curtain and came to Ian, who stood solemnly under the eaves. At this point, Ian finally recognized the identities of the three visitors.
The Marquis of Bivoli, the Marquis of Kayève, and the General of Rilagao.
Before they were banished to the Abyss Demon Realm, these three were all high-ranking nobles in Ian's plane. And now. These three are also the most prominent representatives of the Exiled Court, and Ian is very familiar with them.
After confirming the identities of the three people, Ian's mind relaxed slightly, but then a trace of doubt rose in his heart.
The old duke is getting old, and his spirit has been getting worse and worse in recent years. In the decision-making hall at noon today, there was a big thunder over the matter of chasing and killing the human sword saint Alex before, and even because he was too excited, he almost fainted with anger on the spot.
After returning to the mansion, it didn't take long for the Duke to stay and sleep, and it was impossible for the three adults not to know these things. So what's the matter. The three adults did not hesitate to brave the pouring rain to disturb the old duke's sleep at this time?
Ian's musings led to him. He bowed his head respectfully, and the three adults only nodded coldly. He fixed his eyes on the door behind him.
The butler who led the way walked up to him, whispered a few words to him, and nodded understandingly. Turning around, he gently pushed the door open. In the rain, a cool breeze swept down the open door into the room, which was a little dim because it was not lit. The beautifully crafted curtains in the room rattled.
Ian hurriedly led everyone into the room, carefully closed the door, and after keeping the cold air out, he gently called to the large bed in the center of the dimly lit room, "Lord Duke?"
No response.
So he lit the flickering magic candle, and in the warm light, the bedroom was as usual. The pillows and quilts on the bed were also spread out neatly, but the old Duke Soglio was nowhere to be seen.
Everyone's faces changed instantly, and they split up and began to search. Locker rooms, lounges, bathrooms...... Even the bottom of the bed and the bottom of the table were seen, but I couldn't find the old duke.
In the cold wind, Ian only felt the cold of his whole body like falling into an ice cellar, cold from head to toe, as if he was in a terrible nightmare. The windows in the whole bedroom were all closed well, and he was constantly standing outside the door, for fear of accidents, he didn't even dare to yawn.
However, the old duke disappeared under his nose.
It's an assassin of the Holy Order!
He trembled and gritted his teeth, feeling nightmarish terror and a burning humiliation on his face. Only the assassins of the Holy Order could steal the old duke from his perception.
However, before he could think about who the prisoner was, a scream of a maid suddenly sounded in the small courtyard behind the bedroom, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.
With a scream, Ian soared straight into the sky, and his powerful force formed a hedge against the ground, causing his body to carry powerful kinetic energy to crash through the ceiling above his head and break into the pouring rain.
The icy rain poured down from the sky, and as the rain drenched him, Ian landed beside the screaming maid in an instant.
Bang -
The sound of the heavy object falling carried the cold raindrops that swept through the rain curtain, and Ian landed heavily beside the maid who was screaming in fear. However, for this figure falling from the sky, the maid didn't see it, just covered her mouth and stared at the white wall in front of her with a frightened expression.
Ian frowned, and subconsciously followed the maid's gaze.
In the next second, he was stunned, and the cold of fear like a nightmare once again enveloped his whole body.
Smack-
His knees fell heavily to the ground, stirring up the flying water, but the man who knelt weakly on his knees in the cold rain turned a blind eye to this qiē, he just stared at the white wall in front of him with empty and fearful eyes, his whole body was cold, and he was as stiff as a nightmare.
On the wall in front of him, on the originally white wall, was nailed to the bloody old duke Sorio Gama. Two large black nails pierced the old man's emaciated wrists, nailing him to the white wall like a cross.
The clothes on his chest were peeled away by the sharp blade, revealing the old man's weak and craggy ribs, and a blood-colored cross-shaped wound opened between these craggy ribs, and the flesh rolled up.
The chest that had long ceased to rise and fall, and the corpse that had been cold. The death of the old man was announced, and the frightened and terrifying expression on the old duke's old face gave people a chill like falling into a terrifying hell, as if he had seen the most desperate horror in the world before he died.
On the wall behind the old man, a row of large characters was written in scarlet blood on the originally white wall, and the bright red font still did not fade in the slightest even under the heavy rain.
"Whoever believes in me has eternal life." The heretics will be wiped out. ”

..................
In the dim rain curtain, Trist whistled and waved his umbrella through the dense rain curtain. On his body, he is still wearing the shabby black tuxedo, with his crooked top hat, giving people a strange sense of disobedience.
Casually pushing open the door of a small second-floor room at the end of the empty street, Brian walked into the room filled with a warm pale yellow light while holding his umbrella.
"Hey...... Guys, I'm back," casually shook the umbrella, which twisted into a black rose in Brian's hand.
Casually throwing the black rose in his hand to Anna, who was playing cards with Kakarot on the sand, Brian whistled, "What news do you guess I brought?"
"Needless to say, as soon as you look at the lewd smile on your bastard's face, you know there must be no good news," Kakarot said impatiently, pulling at the white note that had been plastered all over his face.
"Hah...... The dog can't spit out ivory in its mouth, Anna, what do you say?" Shrugging his shoulders indifferently, Brian directly ignored the big man's provocation and set his eyes on the red-headed Yuan ** mage.
"What is there to say? mysterious, the old lady doesn't have time to play a guessing game with you, if you want to say it, just say it, if you don't say it, get out of here, don't bother the old lady to abuse the vegetables," waved her hand impatiently, and Anna, who had no note on her face, seemed to be driving away a fly.
"Hey, you two bastards, just stay here and be lazy, and you won't even cooperate...... Do you want to die?" Brian exclaimed with some annoyance, "Is it funny that you always like to beat my enthusiasm like this?"
"The reason they like to hit you is because you play tricks on them a lot," the dwarf shrugged as he sat on the wooden staircase on the second floor, and said to Brian, "In a sense, all three of you are bastards. ”
"Damn, Vega, you bastard, dare to scold me! After wiping his face, the berserker wiped all the notes on his face, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight, "Look at Lao Tzu, I don't teach you a good lesson today." ”
However, as soon as the big berserker stood up, he was hit in the chest by an ice pick technique from the female mage opposite, and suddenly let out a miserable scream, "Hiss...... It's so cold!!"
In the room, a sneer from the female mage sounded, "Are you trying to escape?" I see that you are so bold that you dare to release Miss Ben's pigeons. (To be continued......)
