Finally, he was able to finish the chapter before twelve. Today's situation was really not good. It was commonly known as a writer's block, but he still tried his best to straighten out the plot and write it out.
Well, it was too late to finish the chapter tomorrow morning, so he decided to postpone the first chapter until one o 'clock in the afternoon.
…
There was always an exaggerated smile on the clown's face, but his voice was very low, "No. Lucien Evans acted very frankly, and he did not hide anything from Granneuve about why he asked Grace to pass the note to Granneuve. It seems that there is nothing wrong with it."
"Captain, is he really not involved in this? He's the only person we can find that might have something to do with Professor … "Juliana lowered her head and pinched her black hair with her right hand.
Professor was a code name, and it seemed that the code name was rarely used anymore. If they could not find any clues, they could only rely on the spies from the Congress of Magic to steal Professor's files. However, the Grand Cardinals would never allow the spies who had access to such confidential files to be wasted on something like this.
Minsk, the Night Guardian Red Dragon, roared like a dragon, "It's impossible! Lucien Evans definitely has something to do with Professor! When Professor first showed up, it was because an apprentice went to ask him for information. When Professor set us up to fight Argent Horn and killed the traitor, Lucien Evans' uncle and aunt were also saved. During the years when Lucien was away, Professor never showed up … "
Juliana and Lend, the Demon-Hunting Knight, slightly shook their heads. Some of the reasons were very hard to come up with. For example, Professor never showed up after killing the traitor, and it was still half a year before Lucien left Aalto.
"It's true that Minsk's reason is not enough to accuse Lucien Evans, but don't forget the information submitted by the Djibouti diocese. Two famous figures on the Cleansing List, Felipe and Professor, once showed up in the former territory of Wilfrid at the same time." Clown looked at his three companions with a funny smile.
Originally, the Church did not know about the Feast of Death, nor did they investigate it. However, Felipe's wild act of breaking through the Storm Strait enraged the Church, and they noticed that Felipe was leading a group of ancient necromancers.
Apart from those in the depths of the Dark Mountain Range, most of these necromancers were scattered all over the continent. Only Wilfrid's territory, where necromancy was deeply rooted and had a long history, could gather such a large number of necromancers. Therefore, the Church had strengthened their secret investigation and intensive search in Wilfrid's territory.
Even though Felipe had already made arrangements for the necromancers before he left, one of them was caught by the night watchers in the area under the strict control of the Church.
Although the investigators of the inquisition did not succeed in breaking the strange magic contract that Felipe signed, they still got the simple facts from the inquisition. At that time, there were two "famous" people who participated in the Feast of Death, the Restorer and the Professor.
Since it was related to the Cleansing List, the Duchy of Djibouti submitted the intelligence to the Holy City of Lance. Then, the red robe in charge of this matter sent the intelligence to all the parishes and inquisitions.
"Maybe other people don't know, but we've been paying attention to Lucien Evans. How could we not know that he was also in the Duchy of Djibouti at that time? It was the same time as the Professor's participation in the Feast of Death! " Clown raised his voice and said angrily, "But when we reported this to the people in charge of the inquisition in Orvarit, they rejected it because they didn't have any evidence. They didn't even want to investigate it! Don't you know why they did that? "
"I think what the inquisitor said makes sense. It's most likely that Her Royal Highness arranged for Professor to protect Lucien Evans," Lend, the Demon-Hunter Knight, explained as usual, not as agitated as Clown.
Every inquisition in a diocese had three people in charge: the Executor, the Inspector, and the Inquisitor. However, in order to control the inquisition under their jurisdiction, many powerful dioceses had a red robe in charge of the inquisition, such as Amelton in the Diocese of Orvarit.
Minsk roared, "What about the series of coincidences before? If Lucien Evans didn't have a close relationship with Professor, I'd like to go to hell! Let me tell you, Lend, the reason is that the people in charge of the inquisition and the red robes don't want to fall out with Natasha! She's a devout believer, the future Grand Dukes Of Orvarit, and an important chess piece of the Church to balance the power of the nobles. How could she let a middle-rank sorcerer, a demon who only killed a few night watchers, investigate her beloved lover and cause a rift between her and the Church? "
"Have you forgotten Salvatore's death, Lend? He died mysteriously when he went to rescue Natasha. Even his body turned into ashes! " Clown said in a miserable voice, "At that time, only a few grand Knight were chasing after Natasha. Do you think Salvatore, who could fly and had powerful divine items, could be killed so easily without any help? Guess, who did he see at that time? And who killed him? "
His facial muscles twitching, Lend lowered his head in grief and frustration, "I don't know …"
Speaking of this, Juliana was even more emotional than the other three. Her voice drifted as if she were crying, "However, the death of Salvatore, a level five bishop and the captain of the night watchers, was not investigated thoroughly by any of the people in charge of the inquisition. In exchange, Natasha was imprisoned in the Holy City for three years. How could such a devout dark guardian of the Lord only be worth three years of the big shots' time? "
"I chose to become a night watcher because I believed in the Bible, 'Under the throne of the Lord, all devout lambs are equal.' But now it seems that some people are even more equal."
She sighed deeply and said in a rebellious tone, "I believe that this is not the will of the Lord. Someone has twisted the church …"
"Only the truth lives forever." Hearing this, Clown, Minsk and Lend all drew crosses in front of their chests. However, Clown's and Minsk's crosses were closer to the classical style before the Holy Calendar.
"What should we do next? How should we investigate Lucien Evans? "After praying, Lend calmed down.
He had now replaced Salvatore as the captain of the night watchers.
Clown turned around and looked at Lend with an exaggerated smile, "Of course, we'll test him directly."
"Directly?" Lend did not expect that Clown would be so crazy, "This will anger Natasha. She's a Sky Knight now, the famous' Ruling Sword '! And Camille, 'Blue Tide', is with her. The two of them alone can wipe out all the night watchers in the Duchy of Orvarit! And the inquisition will definitely not protect us … "
After becoming a Sky Knight, Natasha also had her own honorary title, 'Ruling Sword'.
Clown laughed exaggeratedly, "She and Camille can't watch over Lucien every day, can they? Once a level five Knight like me acts without any scruples, many things will become very simple. Don't forget my nickname before I became Clown: 'Slaughter Puppet' in the Dark Mountain Range! "
"Don't worry, Lend. There are no Sky Knights or Grand Knights in the Intelligence Department of the Duchy. Those who can secretly protect Lucien are just ordinary. They won't find out that I'm sneaking in. If Lucien is only a quasi Knight, then I can easily control him and get the information I want without alerting anyone. But if he shows his magic power, it will be the most direct and most powerful evidence, right? By then, we won't have to worry about Natasha's revenge. "
Looking at Clown's funny and crazy smile, Lend could not say no. He nodded slightly and agreed with Clown's idea.
…
A few days later, late at night.
A faint silhouette almost blended into the darkness as it passed through the garden of Sir John's villa in the noble district. It silently avoided the few members of the intelligence department who were guarding in the dark and snuck into the villa.
In the dark corridor, a maid came out with a candlestick. The dim light made the surroundings even more quiet and depressing. It was not until midnight that the maid remembered that she had left a piece of jewelry in the corner of the living room when she was cleaning. So, she got up quickly and went to look for it.
Dusk and pitch black intertwined. The evening breeze of late spring was slightly chilly, scaring the maid into trembling with fear. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, making the maid shiver. She became more and more scared because she seemed to see a faint, blurry black shadow flashing by in the wind. It was so fast that it didn't seem like a human, but more like a ghost or a ghost!
After looking around quickly, the maid did not find anything unusual, so she drew a cross and went back to her room. She decided to go to the living room in the morning.
The wooden door of Lucien's guest room slowly opened without any sound or wind. Clown's funny mask appeared in the darkness.
He was wearing a colorful clown suit and black gloves. He raised his hands from a distance and wriggled his fingers as if he was playing the piano. It seemed that he was looking for the mysterious connection between each person and the world, space, and other people!
When his fingers were wriggling, Lucien suddenly jumped up from the bed!
Lucien's arms and body posture were very twisted, but his hands were shining with a silver luster. In an instant, they recovered a lot as if something was broken.
"A Level Five Knight?!" Clown felt that he had become as dumb as a real clown. Such strength was comparable to his own, and even a little bit stronger. His Manipulative (Puppet) Blessing was not good at strength.
However, with his rich combat experience, he soon came back to himself. "A Transcendent item that can increase strength! Professor or Natasha is really generous! "
In the short moment of surprise, Lucien pulled the string tied around his throat and shouted loudly, "You're the one who saved me!"
"Assassin!"
Clown's voice was rhythmic and beautiful, and it had the essence of a high voice.
Clown moved his hands quickly, and Lucien moved unsteadily like a puppet. However, Clown failed to fully control him because of his strange strength. Lucien seized the opportunity to grab a blue, cold longsword and resisted the puppet string with a defensive posture.
Clown was not afraid of such a Knight who only improved a certain ability with a Transcendent item, because their weakness was very obvious. He only needed two or three minutes to kill him in any way he wanted!
However, at this moment, before Juliana and Minsk realized what was going on and killed him, the intelligence personnel outside had already ignited the signal flare. A huge firework bloomed in the sky.
Clown stared at Lucien with a funny smile for two seconds. Then, without any hesitation, he jumped out of the window on the third floor and ran quickly in the darkness. If he had been any later, the Sword of Truth or the Blue Tide would have fallen from the sky!
Lucien did not attack with magic. Holding the longsword in his hand, he stood next to the bed and tried to cut the puppet string. Not only could they control the body, but they could also stir the body like a longsword and damage the internal organs.
"Mr. Evans, are you alright?" A security guard ran into the room. Seeing Lucien's twisted posture, he asked worriedly.
Lucien thought of something. Allowing the pain in his internal organs to surge up, he coughed violently until his mouth was full of blood. "I'm fine. Just some minor injuries …" If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
