Chapter 219, Another Sacrifice
Three more today! Hi everyone!
2 Here, I would like to thank the book friend "Gongzi" for the Baiyin League, thank you very much!
"I'll immediately summon the Holy Grail Knights, first lock Fiona and Matthew Bud for interrogation, and then send the Lake God Prophet to Bo Leon to question!" Mogiana said almost instinctively, she looked very angry, standing Get up and go out.
"Wait! My Highness." Seeing her hurrying to go out, Ryan quickly grabbed her wrist.
The champion of God's Choice was still a little weak, and he was a little unsteady when he was surrounded by Morgiana. The Lake God Witch hurriedly supported him: "Be careful, your injury is still not healed, I will take care of this matter."
"No, my lord, you have to understand one thing. First, eavesdropping cannot be used as evidence. Second, if there is no way to get the stolen goods together, it is impossible for us to convict Your Excellency Theodoric. Nine volumes Whether the book really existed, whether it was really lost in the night of blood, we have no conclusion now, and we can't act rashly like this." Ryan quickly persuaded: "I eavesdropped on these news, and it is impossible to confirm whether it is true or not. .”
"Well, I understand." Morgiana helped Ryan to sit down in the chair. The Lake God Witch was also a smart person, and she immediately understood what Ryan meant.
Considering the political influence, it is impossible for the Witch of the Lake God to convict a duke rashly, and it is impossible to use the eavesdropping Ryan as evidence to ask him to come out and confront Fiona. If we look at the physical evidence, the nine volumes are already lost Now, if Theodoric refuses to admit it, Morgiana can't forcefully use detention and interrogation on the Duke himself. The Lake God Witch has great power, but she can't ignore the king and many nobles in the country after all. The rules set by the lake fairy will arouse the resentment and resistance of almost all dukes.
"Your Excellency Theodoric is not yet a Holy Grail Knight, he has not sworn allegiance to you." Ryan shook his head in distress: "We don't know whether this is true, so we must be cautious, my lord, the blood What happened to you in the night was a bit weird, we managed to find some clues, but we can't"
Morgiana nodded slowly, and the Lake God Witch sat down: "Eat first, and let us analyze this matter in detail after eating."
"good."
The sacrament belonging to the Lake Fairy was as rich as ever. Among the silverware, tableware and candlelight, Ryan ate a big meal, while Morgiana ate less.
After dinner, each of them took a shower and changed their clothes. Morgiana signaled the servants and the prophets of the lake god to go down. She worriedly set up a variety of detection magics around the suite and closed the suite door and the room door tightly.
Ryan and Morgiana were left in the bedroom.
The Witch of the Lake was wearing a pure white angel layered chiffon dress. She and Ryan sat facing each other on the balcony of the courtyard full of flowers. Morgiana took off her crown, and the bright moonlight shone on her face: "The problem of vampires in Britannia has been around for a long time. We have tried many times, but all have failed. You know these things. It has been discovered more than once that the entire Duke and his family have become midnight noble."
Ryan nodded, he sorted out his language, and then asked: "My lord, can you give me a detailed introduction to the incident of the night of blood?"
"Yes." Morgiana recounted her experience in detail.
"Well, there are two possibilities. The first is that Duke Theodoric has colluded with vampires. After he saw your Highness coming, he took the initiative to trigger the night of blood because he was afraid of being discovered." Ryan first said He put forward a little hypothesis, but quickly denied it: "But it's not very likely, because first of all, Duke Theodoric owed the tithe that caused you to visit the Castle of Belion in person. If he is really afraid of meeting you , first of all, he won’t meet you in the singing hall, and then he doesn’t need to sacrifice so many knights and lords, or basically, he won’t default on tithes and cause you to go there in person.”
"Perhaps you are right. There was nothing unnatural about his expression when I met him. On the contrary, Theodoric was obsessed with the bard's singing at that time." Mogiana thought about the situation at that time. Condition.
"So the second one is more likely. First, let's assume that the nine volumes of Nagash are really in Belian. Then the second possibility is that there are vampires or necromancers who don't know where they got the news, and then I took the opportunity to launch the night of blood to seize the fourth volume of the nine volumes." Ryan continued to analyze, he touched his chin, and put forward a second hypothesis.
"The key to the problem lies in this Matthew Bud." Morgiana immediately grasped the point, and the Lake God Witch took out a copy: "Whether it is the night of blood in Berleon or the battle of the Korona Plain, One thing they all have in common is that this guy, Matthew Bud, is around."
"Yes, no matter whether Nagash's nine-volume book really exists, or whether Matthew Budd really stole the book, he is quite suspicious, because he All present." Ryan nodded again and again, and he raised his own question: "I don't seem to have seen the family crest of the yellow lion on a black background?"
"I haven't seen it either." Morgana stood up and said, "Wait, I'll get the information."
Sure enough, Morgana took out the patterns of all the family coats of arms from the baron to the duke in the Duke of Connett. There are many family coats of arms that are very close to the coat of arms of Matthew Bard, but none of them are It's exactly the same, but this coat of arms will make him feel that he is indeed a knight-errant from the Duchy of Connecticut at a glance.
Lane concluded that Matthew Bard, or someone behind Matthew Bard, was well versed in heraldry.
"I have a question, my lord. In that case, how did Matthew Bard successfully sign up for the Knights' Conference?" Ryan then asked.
"Obviously, there are traitors in our kingdom!" Mogiana paced under the moonlight, her long skirt moving gently: "Mahubad either bribed or found the corrupted nobleman. , he successfully signed himself up."
"This is the reason why I don't advise Her Highness Mogiana to act immediately." Ryan shook his head slowly: "Perhaps your order has just been issued, and Matthew Bard has received the news."
Morgiana nodded slowly, and the Lake God Witch walked gently in front of Ryan, and said to Ryan, "You are worthy of being the lady's champion."
"Hey, if possible, I really want to find a chance to arrest Matthew Bud alone first." Ryan shook his head again and again: "But my lord, we can't do that, Matthew Bud is the runner-up of the Knights Conference , if arrested rashly, the impact will be extremely bad, and it will also damage the reputation of the lady."
"Now that's the only way. I'll send someone to the Principality of Belaron to investigate first, and then find a way to find a reason to put Matthew Bud under house arrest." Mogiana's long golden hair was draped over her shoulders. Staring at Ryan with dark eyes, his face softened rarely, and at the same time, there was an indescribable strange taste: "You look tired, Francois took you out specially because he wanted to go out with you Go away, but because of the Marquis Suria, am I right?"
"That's right." Ryan didn't intend to lie about this matter, he replied directly.
"Because you were dating Marquis Suria in the windmill, you overheard the conversation between Matthew Budd and Fiona." Morgiana continued: "Lian, you haven't recovered yet, so you can't wait?"
"My lord, we really haven't done much." Ryan said with some embarrassment: "We just"
"Just what?" Morgiana continued to ask, her eyes were very serious, even a little dangerous: "Tell me."
This topic lasted for a long time until Yuetian.
"Huhu" A young knight-errant is running wildly in the dark night, riding a half-breed elven warhorse, galloping across the plains of Korona.
It's Matthew Budd.
The young knight-errant immediately realized that something was wrong after Fiona's questioning today, just in time, because of his rude behavior at the windmill, the girl felt that she had lost face, so she angrily told him to get out, and didn't want to see him again.
Matthew Bard immediately misinterpreted Fiona's meaning as asking him to go away, so the young knight-errant who felt bad rode his horse and took his luggage, leaving Fiona with a After receiving his message that he continued to travel, he hurriedly left Korona and headed towards the Arden Forest in the south.
It took a day to pass through the fields and land near Korona, and the sun was gradually setting, and Matthew Budd came near the Marquis of Glasgow.
In the distance, a huge castle appeared in front of Matthew Bard. The young knight-errant sneered a few times, urged his horse, and quickened his pace. The sun was going down, so he had to hurry up.
Since the death of the Marquis of Onhidsmond, the Marquis of Glasgow has been in a state of chaos. This territory is not large, and most of the Marquis's territory is located in the Forest of Arden, which is really under the control of the Marquis. The territory is actually only the castle of the Marquess of Glasgow and a part of the land near the castle, and the land actually controlled is equivalent to two baronies.
After the death of the Marquis of Anci, since he had no legal heir, King Richard ordered the uncle of the Marquis of Anci, Count Alger Rosell, to temporarily manage the land, which caused chaos in the castle. Countless merchants, adventurers, Wandering knights and many fleeing serfs gathered near the castle, and most of them wanted to explore the Arden Forest.
It is not without reason that these people choose to explore in the Arden Forest. There used to be villages and settlements in the Arden Forest, and some robbers, nobles, and even ancient elves hid treasures in the depths of the Arden Forest, so After the destruction of the Demon Rock, the Beastman tribe could only hide in the depths of the Arden Forest, so many adventurers and wandering knights hoped to explore the Arden Forest in hopes of finding treasures.
Matthew Bard quickened his pace, he passed through the towering castle, and headed towards the depths of Arden Forest.
There was a fire in the young knight-errant's heart, a fire of hatred. He held the long sword at his waist in his hand, and there were bursts of noise from the blade.
The championship of the Cavaliers Conference, he was bound to win, because this championship is really important to him and his godfather's future plans, really important.
Even though it wasn't too bad to get the runner-up now, Matthew Bud still felt deeply ashamed.
Intense hatred lingers in Matthew Bud's heart, his face is full of gloom, one day, this country built on lies and hypocrisy will be completely destroyed, one day, he will destroy this corrupt and depraved country country, he swore.
Along the narrow jungle, Matthew Bud looked at the mysterious marks.
After advancing for a few hours, Matthew Budd caught a passing hunter, knocked him out, tied him up, and tied him behind the horse. This was his godfather's order, and he would use it later.
According to the mark left by the godfather, Matthew Bud bent down and entered the dark, deep, and damp cave. There was no sound in the cave. A mature female voice shouted hysterically: "Give me blood! I want blood!"
"Oh, be quiet, Madam Mercy Archbishop, your shouting like this will not bring you any benefit, on the contrary, it will intensify your blood thirst symptoms and make you more painful." A dry voice said, and he continued very politely Said: "You look so painful that I also feel bad, really."
"Undead, I curse you!"
"It's an honor to be cursed by you, ma'am."
Matthew Bard pulled the fainted hunter and threw it aside: "Blood is coming!"
In the dark cave, only the turquoise will-o'-the-wisp is burning, it is the cursed fire, and Matthew Budd believed in it when he was young, until his godfather told him the truth about the lake fairy.
So he embraced the fire and embraced the power, but the godfather told him that it was not time yet and he needed to do more things by himself.
The archbishop, the Goddess of Mercy, has lost her original dignity and grace, as well as her expression of eternal love and smile. Her long hair, which was originally carefully combed, is now messy and filled with mud, and her dress looks like it has been worn out for a long time. Not washed, all dirty.
Seeing the blood source, she screamed, and subconsciously nibbled on the neck of the stunned hunter, sucking the human blood.
And in this process, the Archbishop, the Goddess of Mercy, will be gradually transformed into a real vampire. Like Akhan has been doing, the capture operation this time is relatively smooth.
"The scattered puzzle pieces are being assembled piece by piece, my godson." Arkhan raised his head, the flames of his blue eyes and his staff were both so daunting: "But we encountered a little accident my godson , you let me down."
