Chapter 24 - The Sin of Desire
The two hesitated for a while, and met three people along the way, one was crazy, one died, and one went crazy first and then died, which was extremely weird. Now I met a fourth person, this person was polite and didn't see anything abnormal, but as the steward of the City Lord's Mansion, he must be Andemen's henchman, so the two of them couldn't afford not to have any scruples.
The butler seemed to know that the two of them had scruples, and said, "Don't worry, the Earl will not embarrass the two of you in the castle." He emphasized the word "inside the castle", which means that when you leave the castle, you have to say something else.
Cangyue Xun secretly thought: "This is the territory of Andemen anyway, and it is the same danger everywhere, if you refuse, you will be timid." He said to the butler, "Okay, please lead the way." ”
The butler led the two into a reception room, with a table and two rows of chairs, in the center of which were several bottles of wine of different colors, and a few wine glasses were clasped upside down in a tray next to them.
Andemen sat behind the table for a long time, holding a wine glass in his hand, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he put down the wine glass and smiled: "Please sit down, two of you." ”
Cangyue Xun said unceremoniously: "You don't have to make a fool of yourself, tell me quickly, where did you hide Li Nuo's demonic beasts?"
Andemen said: "Miss Kaoru is so angry, please rest assured, they are very good, in a very safe place." ”
Cangyue Kaoru said angrily, "What do you mean? Why did you collude with Wu Tuo to kill Father Garden and Bachelor Barker? Also, where are Master Will and Bishop Hansen?"
"Miss Kaoru has a lot of questions, why don't you sit down and talk slowly, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. ”
Cangyue Kaoru took two deep breaths, calmed the anger in her heart, and slowly sat down. Li Nuo followed and sat down beside her.
Andemon said lightly, "What are you two drinking?" I don't think Miss Kaoru thought I was going to poison a priest. ”
"No, I don't. Cangyue Kaoru said coldly.
"Let's make red wine. "Red wine is relaxing, and I say so, Miss Kaoru won't mind." ”
The butler took two empty glasses, poured red wine, and placed them in front of Li Nuo and Cangyue Xun.
Cangyue Kaoru didn't move the wine glass, and said, "Don't sell it, Lord Earl can say what is the matter with inviting us." ”
"Shouldn't it be Kaoru who has something to ask me?"
Cangyue Xun said: "Okay, I want to ask first, when did Lord Earl collude with Wu Tuo?"
"No, no, no, I think Miss Kaoru is wrong, I should say when Miss Kaoru colluded with Wu Tuo. ”
Cangyue Xun Huo Ran stood up, stared at Andemen, and said with a cold face: "What do you mean?"
An Demen smiled slightly and said, "Miss Xun is a thief shouting to catch a thief, obviously it is you who are in cahoots with Wu Tuo." ”
"You're bloody. ”
Andemen took a sip of wine and said, "So far, Miss Kaoru still doesn't want to admit it, is there any point?"
Cangyue Kaoru sneered: "Joke, do you think anyone will believe your clumsy frame?"
Cangyue Kaoru guessed that Andemen was uneasy and kind to let people pick them up, but he didn't expect Andemen to beat him upside down, and it was slander when he opened his mouth. She really couldn't think of any effect of such a childish and ridiculous trick as Andemen, how could anyone believe such a clumsy lie?
Andemen said leisurely: "More than three months ago, my people found traces of Wu Tuo in the territory, so I immediately reported it to the Holy See. The Holy See took this matter very seriously and sent Miss Kaoru and the Cadi Paladin to arrest Wu Tuo. After the two Holy See envoys arrived in Aegean City, they were stationed in the Aegean Church and searched everywhere for Wu Tuo's whereabouts, but they never found any clues. May I ask Kaoru-san, am I wrong?"
"Yes, that's exactly what happened. ”
"But isn't it a little strange that the two Holy See envoys have been searching for more than two months without any clues?"
"Wu Tuo is cunning and stealthy by nature, so what's so strange that we didn't find him?"
"Then why did my men discover Wu Tuo in just a few days? ”
Cang Yue Xun snorted coldly and said, "You colluded with Wu Tuo, so you naturally know his whereabouts." ”
"But the report I heard happened to be the opposite of Miss Kaoru, and someone reported to me that one of the two emissaries of the Holy See had secretly delivered news to Wu Tuo, so Wu Tuo was able to avoid the pursuit of the Papal Knight in advance. ”
"You wouldn't be stupid enough to believe such an obvious false accusation, would you?"
"It is true that I should not have been gullible, but the person who reported to me was Father Garden, and that is doubtful. Andermen said matter-of-factly.
"What?" Kaoru blurted out.
Andemen said: "Miss Kaoru really thinks that she is doing something unknowingly? In fact, Father Garden has already discovered your whereabouts and secretly passed on the news to Wu Tuo. ”
Cangyue Kaoru said: "Since it is like what you said, then why did you arrest Father Garden into the City Lord's Mansion on trumped-up charges, and finally kill him?"
Andemen said: "No, no, no, Miss Kaoru is wrong again. When Father Garden told me about this, my men happened to find out about Wu Tuo's whereabouts again. So, in order to avoid startling the snake, I passed on Wu Tuo's whereabouts to Miss Kaoru, lured Miss Kaoru away, and then took the opportunity to arrest Wu Tuo in the name of rebellion and seal the church. Of course, I did this entirely to protect Father Garden and the churchgoers, and the guards of the Lord's Mansion were much stronger than the church. In addition, I also made a point of informing Bishop Hansen of the Holy See that in the case of the trial of Father Garden's treason, he was actually invited to witness the fact that Miss Kaoru had colluded with Wu Tuo. ”
Cangyue Xun's heart tightened, she originally thought that Andemen's slander was empty and could not be convincing, but she didn't expect his fabrication out of thin air to be like a poisonous snake, precise and ruthless, and into the flesh.
She thought for a moment and said, "But Father Garden was killed by you and Wu Tuo, Drandon also fell into Wu Tuo's Gu Soul Technique to go crazy, and that Dean Buck also died in your backyard, how do you explain this?"
Andemen sighed, "Oh! I was negligent. I protected Father Garden in the city lord's mansion in the name of rebellion, but I didn't expect Miss Kaoru to still be suspicious and bent on killing people. Although the City Lord's Mansion is heavily guarded, Miss Kaoru has also brought accomplices, how can the guards of the City Lord's Mansion be the opponents of high-level demonic beasts? Father Garden was naturally robbed by Miss Kaoru. ”
He paused, then continued, "After last night's dinner, I had something to explain to Dean Barker, and it was very late to talk about it. Miss Kaoru kidnapped Father Garden, and on the way back to her residence, she happened to be seen by Dean Barker, who was returning to the backyard to rest, and Dean Buck was unfortunately murdered. ”
"And what about Derlandon?
Andemon exclaimed, "Speaking of Delandon, I have to admire Miss Kaoru's wisdom even more. After the failure of the Duel last night, he had exhausted his courage before he came to his senses, he was impulsive by nature, and he suffered such a big loss, so he was naturally very unconvinced, and after resting until his courage recovered, he couldn't help but go to Miss Kaoru to theorize. By that time, Miss Kaoru had returned to her lodgings and hid Father Garden. Originally, Delandon just wanted to remind Miss Kaoru not to sink into the mud and do something sorry for Count Su Yi. But when he arrived at Miss Xun's residence, he found that Miss Xun had already slept with Mr. Li Nuo, and he was loyal to Count Su Yi, so he naturally couldn't stand this humiliation, so he found two people desperately.
Knowing that there were many people in Delandon who went to find Miss Kaoru, Miss Kaoru naturally wouldn't kill him, and gave people the truth, but she couldn't let him go, so she thought of a plan to kill people with a knife. You ordered Mr. Li Nuo to use Gu Soul Magic to confuse Delandon's mind, so that he would not die immediately, and he would not tell your secret, and he would be able to blame Wu Tuo, which is really a good calculation. Of course, you will not let Delandon go, you will use the excuse that you want to take him to the Holy See to find a high-ranking priest for help, in fact, his life and death are all under your control.
"Afterwards, you didn't do anything, and Mr. Li Nuo first cast a soul trick on Father Garden, and then Miss Kaoru pretended to use the Holy Light Ning Divine Technique to save him, which eventually led to Father Garden's 'accidental' death, and finally threw his body into the forest. ”
Andemen said so much in one breath, it was inevitable that his mouth was a little dry, and he drank a glass of wine and moistened his throat.
Cangyue Xun said: "Your story is very exciting, but have you ever thought that Li Nuo is not a necromancer, so how can he use soul magic?"
Andemen had expected her to say this, and said lightly: "This is the most clever thing about Miss Kaoru, which is admirable. ”
"What's the explanation?"
An Demen stared at Li Nuo and said in an accentuated tone: "It's just because this Mr. Li Nuo is Wu Tuo." ”
Li Nuo and Cangyue Xun couldn't have imagined that An Demen could talk nonsense to such an extent, and at the same time, they lost their voices: "I (he) am Wu Tuo?"
Andemen didn't blink, and said, "The two of you thought they were hiding deeply, but they didn't expect it, right?"
Li Nuo couldn't help but say, "Since I am Wu Tuo, how can I blame Wu Tuo?"
"Wu Tuo became famous more than ten years ago, and you know very well that no one would associate Wu Tuo from a boy who is less than twenty years old, so he dared to come to Aegean City blatantly and use Gu Soul Magic unscrupulously. ”
Li Nuo said: "Your statement is too far-fetched." ”
Andemen smiled: "Miss Kaoru should know very well that Wu Tuo has repeatedly escaped the wanted of the royal court and the Holy See, and the Holy See has long circulated the saying that he can change his appearance, after all, the methods of necromancers are too mysterious, and this possibility still exists." ”
Li Nuo said: "In this case, I can say that you are Wu Tuo." ”
Andemen smiled and ignored Li Nuo's pale cross-examination.
Cangyue Kaoru gritted her teeth and said, "This is just your side of the story, do you really think others will believe it?"
Andemen smiled and said, "It is true that no one may believe it, but Miss Kaoru herself sent the evidence to the door." ”
"What do you mean, why can't I understand?"
"Kaoru herself is the best proof of this. Andermen smiled strangely, "Miss Kaoru and the Kadi Paladin led fifty papal knights to capture Wu Tuo, why are you the only one who comes back?"
"As I said, it was Li Nuo and his teacher who saved me. ”
"Is it? Who is this teacher of Mr. Li Nuo? Where is it now? Every high-ranking beast master and above is famous, and I think we must have heard of the name of this powerful beast master. ”
Cangyue Kaoru was speechless.
