Chapter 47
When Arthur brought the little witch in, Joan circled around Becky three times.
"Are you saying she's better than a dog?"
The little witch smiled and raised her hand at Joan, and the thunder python Xiaoqing flew out of Becky's sleeve like lightning and bit Joan's shoulder.
It happened so suddenly, and Joan was so frightened that she tried to dodge backwards.
Becky reached forward and grabbed Ao's tail and pulled it back, while lifting her foot and kicking Joan on her lower abdomen, knocking him to the ground.
Joan suddenly fell on his back.
Arthur and McGinn looked dumbfounded on the sidelines, and only after a moment did they react and burst out laughing.
"You two are still laughing, hurry up and help His Highness up!
Arthur stretched out his hand to pull Joan up, still smiling: "The thorn of Golly's rose is conspicuous outside, and the thorn of Becky's little witch is hidden in the shadows. ”
"Then what are you looking for her for?" Joan, who got up, was still looking at the little witch who was smiling and moaning, looking harmless to humans and animals.
"Did you bring anything?" Arthur turned to look directly at McGinn.
"Find a musk ox that was newly replaced before departure, I don't know if it's okay?"
"It should be about the same. Arthur took it and handed it directly to Becky.
Becky held it in her hand, Xiaoqing got out of her sleeve and crawled around the reins, and the python turned in another direction.
"This way. Becky led the way straight in the direction of the python's turn.
"Hurry up. Arthur pulled Joan, who was still stunned.
"Is this reliable?"
"Xiaoqing is a demonic beast, and the demonic beast is very sensitive to the breath of its prey, and that musk ox is now the prey to Xiaoqing. We only entered the territory when we hunted its parents and were aware of it. ”
Becky led the way, through the alleys and alleys to the southwest. The further you go, the more pedestrians and vehicles come and go on the street, and the more shops on both sides are clustered, but most of the pedestrians are dressed in coarse cloth, and the shops are all small shops.
"In front of it is the hotel street, because it is next to the domesticated animal market and the grocery market, and some small business vendors live here, and there are a lot of people in it. McGinn took the initiative to explain to Joan and Arthur.
Becky walked straight through the hotel street in the direction of the domesticated beast market, and the further she went, the stronger the smell of livestock and monsters in the air, and the feces of various beasts were scattered on the road.
Those who have a habit of cleanliness began to pinch their noses and walk with their feet padd.
When you really enter the trading market, the houses on both sides of the road have been turned into animal pens. The enclosure is home to various human-domesticated mounts and cart-pulling beasts, such as wildebeest, musk oxen, four-eyed sand lizard, and two-headed earth dragon. Most of the driving beasts of the aristocratic and wealthy families of the imperial capital were purchased from here, and the rarer the variety, the more expensive the value.
Becky walked directly to an animal pen not far from the entrance of the market, pointed to a musk ox locked inside, and said, "That's it." ”
McGinn was accompanied by a few of the day's bodyguards, and ordered, "Do you see what we have?"
"That's right, young master, it's the driving musk ox we robbed yesterday, and the other one in it is too. The guard pointed excitedly.
Seeing that there were guests, the boss who sold this column of domesticated beasts immediately greeted him with a smile, "What do you need?" ”
McGinn gave his guard only a look.
The leading guard kicked the boss up, kicked him down, and then hit him with his fists, shouting: "Dare to rob Lord Clay's goods, I finally caught you!"
A few men watching the animal pen next to him wanted to come over to help, but they were immediately knocked to the ground by several other fierce and vicious guards.
"There must be a misunderstanding here!" the owner of the pen lay on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Lord Clay's family had three truckloads worth tens of thousands of gold coins robbed outside the city yesterday, and the two musk oxen inside you were the musk oxen pulling the car, where are the things?"
I have been selling domesticated beasts here for seven or eight years, so how can I dare to rob them? All the musk oxen in it are collected, and I will make some money to make ends meet, I really don't know that these musk oxen collected in the morning are related to the robbery?"
"Who sold it to you in the morning?"
The little people still need the little people to deal with it, and the leading guards even asked for all the information.
Arthur and Joan had been watching from behind, holding their shoulders.
"He doesn't like to lie, these musk oxen were sold here by robbers, but the two people he described were not easy to find. Arthur said with a frown.
"I'll do it when I'm looking for someone, half of the underground business in the southern city belongs to our Clay family, and now with the appearance characteristics of those two people, as long as they are still in the city, they will definitely not be able to escape. McGinn said fiercely.
......
To the east of the city of Arantis, tall and majestic churches stand abruptly among the low-rise civilian buildings.
The morning sun rises each day and shines first on the highest spire of the central church.
This is the headquarters of the Terran Church of Light, the Church of Light.
In one of the temple's underground chambers, the chief Inquisitioner, dressed in a black priest's robe, stared at the information that had just been delivered on the table.
Even in the Church of Light, the black priest's robe is considered an anomaly, as black represents death. There was only one type of person in the church who wore black robes, the adjudicating priests in the Inquisition, who were in charge of trials and trials, a group of people who claimed to represent the light but were always dealing with death.
Oza raised his head and stared at the three black-robed magistrates in front of him with a cold gaze, "With so many geniuses and only such a few clues, our Inquisition will become the laughing stock of the church and the entire imperial capital." ”
The magistrate on the left hand side said with a sad face: "The search for heresy has always been the responsibility of the Demon Hunting Division in charge of the Punishment Knights and the Reverend of Thorn, and our Magistrate can only passively wait for them to arrest people. ”
"You're wrong, the Knight of Punishment is just a knife, and we, the Judges, are the ones who hold the knife. Didn't the clues from the new newspaper already roughly determine the location of a few dark mages? No need to say hello to Priest Thorn, you can directly mobilize the Punishment Knight and get the people back tonight. Referee Oza commanded directly.
"These three people are just small fish, and there are people on the side of the Punishment Knight who have been secretly watching, trying to lure out the big fish behind them through them. The magistrate continued to explain with some hesitation.
"The Seven-Council Alliance is imminent, and I need to give the cardinal an explanation, and I don't have time to wait. Catch the little fish, pry open their mouths, and the big fish can't run away!" Referee Oza said coldly.
Three reckless dark magicians, a planned robbery, caused an unexpected collision of several forces......
