Chapter 78: The Secrets of the Temple Society

As Valdis said, the feast was quite high-spec.

When Lu Mingfei and the three of them were led through the passage of nine curves and eighteen bends, they were greeted by a grand hall, the long table in the center of the hall was covered with a snow-white tabletop, and the edges of the tablecloth were depicted with gold threads depicting gorgeous ornaments.

Around the long table, there are nuns who have their skirts cut down and are busy wearing nun clothes that look like miniskirts...... Well, it could be nuns, or it could be the beauties of the maids.

They are painted with delicate makeup, eyelashes are hooked, lips are delicate, snow-white and toned thighs are moving under the skirt, barefoot stepping on the snow-white wool carpet, each time only the toes are on the ground, and the round toes are slightly curled, like stepping on a pair of invisible high heels, strolling and dancing on the thin clouds, elegant and light.

There was already a tall, burly silver-haired man waiting at the long table.

Lu Mingfei stood in front of the woolen carpet as white as snow, and was hesitating whether to take off his shoes, but Valdis had already walked over and did not forget to remind: "Distinguished guests, you don't have to take off your shoes, the soiled carpet will naturally be replaced by someone else." ”

That being said, but Elaine had consciously taken off her shoes, and it was clear that not everyone was qualified to step on this woollen carpet.

Lu Mingfei and the three followed Valdis to the long table, and the burly silver-haired man sat in the first position under the main seat, and when he saw Lu Mingfei and the three of them coming, he got up.

Valdis saluted respectfully to the silver-haired man, "Lord Shilun, I have brought three distinguished guests from the Kassel Academy. ”

"Hmm." The silver-haired man only snorted in response, his chrysober-like eyes not even bothering to move towards Valdis.

But immediately, when he looked at Lu Mingfei and the others, he immediately showed a friendly and affectionate smile, like a warm winter sun: "Good morning, three distinguished guests, I am the Provincial Inspector General of the Solomonic Temple Society, Sylon Powell, who is responsible for monitoring whether all the branch halls have violated the precepts, and I am also the person who will thoroughly investigate the branch halls of Fort Viana and communicate with you this time. Thanks to the three of you, let's dine first. ”

Lu Mingfei sighed in his heart, "The speed at which you changed your face is comparable to the speed at which a certain brother named Loki in the other world was slapped in the face."

However, he didn't think it was unusual, as Susie had already written in the information he gave him, the Solomonic Temple was divided into six classes, from low to high, "servant", "squire", "retinue", "sergeant", "knight servant" and "knight".

The Provincial Inspector General oversees all the Branches, and the corresponding is the Holy City Inspector General, who oversees the precepts of the Temple. In addition, there were the Legion Commanders, who were responsible for military administration and general military decision-making, the Priests who were the second-in-command of the Order, and the Grand Master, the leader of the Solomonic Temple.

These five men were the highest echelons of Solomon's Temple, and constituted the highest rank of Solomon's Temple, the knights.

When a knight values a person of the sergeant class, the valued sergeant can choose to swear allegiance to the knight, that is, he can become a knight, and after the knight abdicates or encounters an accident, his knight servant will be eligible to run for the new knight.

The number of knights and servants that each knight can have is not equal, and these knights and servants whose status is second only to knights are either the sub-high-level or elite of the main hall, or the principals of the large branch halls.

And this Valdis branch lord who received them...... Considering that he is only the hall master of a branch hall in Portugal, I am afraid that the rank is just a sergeant, and he is a full two orders lower than the provincial supervisor of the knight class in front of him, so it is no wonder that he is not taken seriously.

And those busy maids...... They weren't even the lowest class of servants, and in Solomon's Temple, they were at best "pretty slaves."

Of course, this is someone else's family matter, although Lu Mingfei thinks that such a big organization is somewhat anti-civilized in modern society, but it is not good to say anything, just follow Chu Zihang and Susie to introduce themselves.

After learning that Lu Mingfei was S-class, Inspector General Shilun was also stunned for a moment.

Then he took the initiative to ask to move his seat down one more place, so that Chu Zihang, who was the leader of the trio, sat in the first seat, Lu Mingfei was in the second seat, and he, a knight of the Solomon Temple, sat under Lu Mingfei.

Although Solomon's Temple is far inferior to the academy, it is a big force in the mixed European race, and the knight class in it can barely compete with the patriarch of the secret party or the director of the academy, so it stands to reason that it will not be so humble in front of Lu Mingfei, the S-rank.

But he couldn't bear the other party's enthusiasm and resoluteness, and Lu Mingfei had no choice but to accept it.

At the banquet, they also talked about the internal investigation, and Inspector General Silun solemnly stated that he would definitely reveal the truth and give an explanation to the Solomonic Temple and the secret party.

After all, Lu Mingfei and the three of them came over as supervisors and witnesses, and it was not good to press too hard, Chu Zihang was not good at words, although Lu Mingfei had been trained by Tony and was not afraid of this kind of occasion, but before Susie and Chu Zihang both told him to talk less and watch more, so he just stared at the sea and drank, and didn't say a word.

Only Susie was quite reliable, and she politely arranged the whole meal with Sylon during the period, during which the Valdis branch lord occasionally echoed Inspector Sylon with a few sentences, but he was also cautious and did not dare to say more.

And his secretary Elaine is in charge of peeling shrimp shells and pouring wine the whole time, without saying a word, like a conscientious dumb waiter or a housekeeping robot.

After eating and drinking, Chu Zihang asked Lu Mingfei to take out the agreements he had with him, which were all scene contracts that required Shilun and Valdis to remain honest or never distort the truth in the next investigation, and they also signed them happily.

At this point, even if today's task is completely completed, all that remains is to come every day or every other day to inquire about and record the progress of the investigation, take some copies of relevant documents and send them back to the school for sealing, and so on.

After all, it is a formality task, if nothing else, Lu Mingfei and the three of them will eat, drink and have fun all the way to the end of the mission, and then fly home or school.

But for some of the unlucky guys, accidents are always around.

Smiling and sending Lu Mingfei and the three away, Shi Lun was still sitting on the long table, looking at Valdis with an expressionless face: "Let the others out." ”

Valdis's face turned pale, he swallowed, and shouted in a trembling voice, "All out...... And you, Elaina, you go out too. ”

"Yes." Elaine bowed her head and walked out barefoot with the other maids.

Valdis stood up, lowered his head, and looked at Shi Lun tremblingly: "Uncle......"

"Idiot!" Shiren suddenly became furious, and casually threw a heavy porcelain plate on Valdis's face.

Valdis let out a wail, and the porcelain plate was shattered in his face by a tremendous force, causing him to fall on his back on the cashmere blanket.

It didn't hurt much in his bloodline, but he knew that if he didn't scream a little worse, he would only get worse.

In the next second, a riding boot stepped on his chest, Shi Lun lowered his head, and his chrysoberstone-like eyes were filled with anger: "Stupid! What the hell did you do! Why did Kassel Academy not only send the president of the Lionheart Society, but also send an S-class freshman! What the hell did you make them discover! ”

"Uncle...... I didn't," Valdis felt dozens of anvils pressing against his chest, squeezing the air out of his lungs roughly, "I did it all on the orders of the main hall......

He and Si Lun call him uncle, but they are both middle-aged, and Shi Lun looks about the same age as him.

This is because of the difference in bloodline, which is obviously more than thirty years apart, but as the patriarch of the Powell family, Selen is far superior to Valdis, an unsuccessful nephew, in terms of blood, and it is even more difficult for time to leave traces on him.

"If you strictly follow the orders of the main hall, you won't attract the Kassel Academy at all!" Sylon grabbed Valdis' chin with one hand, forcing him to open his mouth, and with the other hand, he grabbed a fragment of a porcelain plate from the ground and shoved it into his mouth under Valdis' terrified gaze, forcing him to close it.

"Don't think I don't know what you're doing, you're trying to get more mixed-race women by means that are more shoddy than the main hall requires, in vain trying to achieve higher merit in this way......"

Shi Lun covered his forehead with one hand: "But I really don't understand what you want merit for?" I've made you my knight, what more do you want? When I die, I will inherit my knighthood? ”

Valdis shook his head vigorously, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth, and his golden pupils unconsciously opened in fierce struggle and fear.

"What are you shaking your head, your eyes have already told me that you want to," Shi Lun scoffed, "why don't you want to think about whether you are worthy or not?" Your little bloodline is also worthy of coveting the throne of knights! Do you know what level you are based on the standard rating of those three people just now? You're a B-class hybrid at the Kassel Academy! ”

"You trash dare to look up to the throne!"

Shilun roared under his breath, a pair of pupils opened in his golden-green eyes, and a torch seemed to light up in the hall, and the pupils poured into Valdis's nerves with his roar.

After a long time, Shi Lun got up: "Go and investigate those people...... No, forget it, it's only going to get worse when it's discovered......"

He muttered to himself, and then gave a new order: "Dispose of all the test subjects, burn them all, or use hydrogen peroxide or sulfuric acid, in short, leave no traces of DNA, and destroy all the documents, give me the most valuable part, and ...... the other"

He stared at Valdis, who was getting up from the ground: "Before you were born, our Powell family was no longer pirates, don't learn the pirate style of our ancestors, unless you want to cause a real storm." ”

"Yes, uncle......"

Valdis hung his head, his mouth dripping with sharded blood dripping on the woolen carpet, his dim golden eyes staring at the fainting blood.
