Chapter 401: The Ruler

"Master Du, the identity of the assassin has been investigated." In the hall, the deacon of the tribunal, Rosyth, reported to the young man sitting on the sofa. He was polite and even had a hint of humility. Barely equal to the high-level envoy, seeing the master is half short, you have to be polite, not to mention a master who is destined to have an extraordinary future and unlimited potential like Du Dian.

Du Di'an nodded slightly, seeing the institutional aura on Rosyth's body, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and said, "Lord Deacon, you say, I will listen."

Rosyth was flattered, nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, Master, the assassin's name is Runcorn, he was born in a commoner family, and he was accepted as a student by the Knight Veniamin, who was a thirteen-year-old in the Knights Hall. Under the cultivation of the Veniamin knight, he gradually emerged, and at the age of twenty-eight, he successfully passed the golden knight assessment and became an excellent golden knight!"

"Shortly after becoming a golden knight, Runcorn declined invitations from all parties and took the initiative to request to join the Mel family. Since then, he has served as the knight commander of the Mel family...until today." Having said this, Roses raised his eyes and glanced at Du Dian. He has heard about the conflict between Du Di'an and the Mel family. As long as he wants to investigate this kind of thing, it is easy to find out.

When Du Dian heard the words, his calm expression suddenly sank, and said, "Lord Deacon, do you mean that the Mel family sent someone to assassinate me?"

Roses smiled bitterly and said, "Master, this is just a preliminary investigation. It has not yet been determined whether it was the envoy of the Mel family, or whether he came here..." Speaking of this, his voice couldn't help weakening.

Why would a knight commander take the risk of assassinating a master if he wasn't instructed?

"Didn't find out?" Du Dian turned to look at him, "Lord Deacon, how long do you say it will take to find out?"

Roses felt the anger in Du Di'an's words, and smiled bitterly in his heart, neither of which he could afford to offend, and smiled reluctantly: "Master, you can rest assured, we will seize the time to investigate, and let the Mel family give you one as soon as possible. Reply, if it is their ambassador, we will give you an account, and our people have gone to the Mel family and are investigating."

Seeing this, Du Di'an nodded slightly, but there was still a bit of anger on his face, and he didn't say anything more.

"Investigation?" At this moment, a clear voice came from outside the hall.

Du Dian and Roses looked at them and saw a middle-aged man in silver armor striding in. After he saw Du Dian on the sofa, the cold and arrogant color on his face suddenly subsided slightly, and he stepped forward and said: "The Holy See of Light" Order Keeper' Redmayne, I have seen Master Du Dian and took the liberty to visit, and I hope to forgive me."

It's finally here. Du Di was thinking secretly, with a smile on his face,

Said: "Hello, I didn't greet you, I still look to Haihan."

"Master, you're welcome." Redmayne smiled and said, "We have been ordered to come here and cooperate with the Tribunal to investigate this assassination case, and we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to Master. Those who dare to attack Master will most likely follow It is related to the dirty dark cult, I will send someone to personally inspect the Mel family later, and please be patient with the master."

Du Dian nodded slightly, "It's work."

Rosyth's face changed slightly, and he sighed in his heart, knowing that the Mel family was really over, and assassinating the masters in the Temple of Elements founded by the Holy See of Light would most likely be crowned as a cult. This is definitely not a mere one. What the Mel family can bear, especially now that they are notorious, there is no one to help them and they cannot bear it.

"Deacon Roses, it's a pleasure to cooperate." Redmayne turned his head and stretched out his hand, smiling.

Roses reached out and held it, nodded, and said nothing.

...

...

"What did you say?!" Melshaya looked at her brother Melk in shock, with a hint of horror in her elven-like eyes, and said, "Take us as a cult to investigate?"

Melk sighed, and the handsome cheeks who had fascinated countless rich girls were full of sadness at the moment, and said: "With what I know as a Knight of Light in these years, once the high-level officials of the Holy See of Light are assassinated, they will definitely investigate and dispatch The 'Order Keeper' was dispatched, which has long been agreed with the Tribunal, and the Tribunal has no right to organize. Once the 'Order Keeper' defines the assassination as a 'cult activity', they will have the sovereignty of investigation and judgment. !"

"Once we have the sovereignty, with the way of the Holy See of Light, most of them will investigate closely, and even use some special means, unless we are really innocent and have never had contact with the Holy See of Darkness. They will be investigated by them, there is no escape."

Hearing Melk's words, the expressions of everyone present were extremely ugly.

As the all-powerful Mel family in the business district, they have many industries and have to deal with people from all walks of life. Naturally, the Dark Holy See is inevitable, and even the notorious alchemists in the Dark Holy See are nothing to them. All the unspoken rules and acquiescence among nobles, no noble can say that he is innocent.

If it is strictly investigated, many things that have been covered up will inevitably be found out.

Melshaya bit her lip, clenched her slender fingers, and said, "The 'Order Keepers' must never be allowed to intervene in the investigation. If they were to investigate one by one, they would definitely find out that our family had been in contact with people from the Dark Holy See. There are even some business cooperations, once confirmed, the crime is too serious, not only will all assets be deprived, even the noble status may not be preserved."

Everyone looked at each other.

Why don't they know this, but what can be done now to stop the order keepers?

At this moment, the back of the crowd suddenly stepped aside, only to see Melkenson walking slowly. He stood on the steps and looked around at the crowd. His axe-like cheeks were a bit vicissitudes and depression, but at the moment he was sullen, still maintaining With a look of indifference and majesty, he slowly said: "This matter must be carried by someone. When the order watchers of the Holy See of Light come to investigate, I will undertake it. This assassination incident is purely a commercial competition. In this case, only some will be punished. Money, now, you immediately sell the properties that can be sold as soon as possible, and transfer the properties that can be transferred out, and transfer the funds out of the family."

Everyone was stunned.

Melshaya stared at her father in a daze. Tears fell from her eyes. There was a tearing pain in her heart. She suddenly regretted her self-willedness and self-righteousness. If she could kill that young man earlier, what would it be? Nothing exists anymore.

But now, everyone in the entire family is forced to be so embarrassed by the opponent's mere one person.

regret! pain! remorse!

She has never regretted a thing so much, but unfortunately time will not be reversed for her.

Suddenly, a cough came from behind Melkensen.

Melkenson was slightly startled, turned his head to look, and saw the housekeeper coming with his father supporting him.

In just half a day, everyone looked at the old man with a look of shock on his face. Mel George, who used to be tough and energetic, now looks like a real old man, his straight back is hunched down, and the wrinkles on his face are unprecedented. Profound and old, wearing a fluffy coat, but even more frail.

"Father!" Melkensen hurried forward.

Mel George glanced at him, sighed, stretched out his hand and patted the back of his hand, and said, "Son, remember how I told you before, if you were knocked down by the enemy with your fists, you stabbed back with your sword... ...The future of the family is handed over to you."

Melkenson's face changed, and he continued: "Father, this matter is my negligence, it's my fault, it's enough for me to bear it, you..."

"I'm old." Mel George looked at him quietly, his eyes swept across the audience, he saw the faces of the younger generation, he smiled slightly, and said: "When people are old, they should die, not to mention this You won't kill me even if it's a trivial matter, you are all my good children, you have to work harder in the future, you know?"

When he spoke, some people were already weeping.
