Chapter 1560 Love and Law

"Okay, Brother Joan! Wait a minute, I'll call for someone!"

Ruby noticed Joan's serious expression and knew the seriousness of the situation, so she didn't dare to delay, so she hurried out.

Not long after, Little Loli brought Pinkerton, Audrey, Holden and Hylar to Joan's guest room.

"Joan, Arnold and Lowry came to see me just now. Their company set off in the afternoon to support Blackwater Town. They invited us to go with them. I said that I would discuss it with my teammates before making a decision. What do you think?" Audrey asked. Get down to business as soon as you walk in.

"I don't have time to go to Heishui Town right now." Joan pointed to the detection crystal ball, "The top priority is to solve the three culprits who directed the dinosaur riots behind the scenes."

All eyes were on the crystal ball, and they stepped forward to watch with curiosity.

"Hey! These are the three worm-like people of the primitive religious group. They had a conflict with us on the top of Bailun Mountain. The dinosaur riot in Lake Aosta was really caused by these cultists again. What a lingering ghost!" Holden sneered.

"Brother Joan, are you sure it's these three cultists who conspired to manipulate dinosaurs to attack colonial settlements?" Mr. Detective asked cautiously.

Joan nodded firmly: "The evidence is solid, Mr. Pinkerton, what are your plans next?"

"Of course we should rush to stop them from committing crimes immediately. It would be best to arrest all three of them." Pinkerton replied without thinking.

Joan was not surprised by Mr. Detective's plan, and said to him: "These three worms are lurking on the west bank of Lake Aosta, far away from Buffalo Town. them."

"Joan! It's too risky for you and Uncle Detective to deal with the three worms. Why don't we all catch the cultists together so that they don't slip away!"

The initiative launched by Hailaer immediately won Holden's approval.

Audrey noticed that Ruby's expression was weird, and she seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma. After a little thought, she realized the little girl's difficulty, and asked her softly, "Ruby, do you have friendship with those three worm-like people?"

"Well...Ruby, I don't have much friendship with the three of them, but Sister Jenny, Mr. Peter, and Mr. Xiao En used to be subordinates of my master. Although the master has quit the primitive sect, after all, he still has some friendship. In..." "Miss Ruby" hesitated to speak.

Audrey smiled knowingly, turned to Joan and said, "Before we leave, it's best to say hello to the countess, can you contact her?"

Joan nodded first, then turned to look at Ruby, and asked little Lolita softly, "Should I send a letter to Mrs. Josephine, or should you contact her?"

"Let me send the letter!"

"Miss Ruby" opened the storage bag, found a crystal stone with "SMS", briefly described the current situation of Lake Aosta, and sent it to the Countess who was still traveling in other places.

Not long after, Mrs. Josephine sent a reply.

To everyone's surprise, the ball of red magic light loaded with the reply was not sent to Ruby, but appeared in front of Joan.

Joan froze for a moment, then suddenly thought that Mrs. Josephine entrusted Ruby to her care, and now it is reasonable for her to contact her "guardian".

After holding the red light ball to read the reply, Joan frowned slightly, turned to her companion and said, "Mrs. Josephine does not object to our taking action against Jenny and the others, but she hopes that the two sides should not have violent conflicts. After all, Jenny and the others It is also following orders, and the heart may not be willing to do evil."

"Hehe, that's really beautiful!" Holden showed annoyance, "The countess just wants to be a peacemaker, why don't you think about the property losses suffered by the villages and towns that have been impacted by dinosaurs, think about those who were affected by this disaster Casualties of civilians, sacrificed officers and soldiers, could it be that these people died in vain?"

Faced with her questioning, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, all of them were speechless and fell into an awkward silence.

Mr. Poet's accusation is of course justified, but sometimes it is not so easy to make a choice between morality and human feelings.

Joan scratched her hair, feeling very conflicted.

The countess is like a family member to him. Of course, he can't live up to this deep love, but because of this, he let the three evil cultists lightly go against his conscience, and he was in a dilemma for a while, not knowing what to do.

Seeing the hesitant expressions of the young people, Pinkerton sighed and took the lead in breaking the silence.

"My employer assigned me the task of investigating the truth about the dinosaur riots in Lake Aosta, but he did not ask me to arrest the suspects and bring them to justice. Therefore, there is no need for us to confront the three worms head-on and report the evidence we have to the military. Even if the task is completed."

"That's what we say, but we can't know that they are still continuing to commit crimes without interfering."

There was a hint of displeasure in Audrey's words.

A paladin like her is actually much more flexible than her predecessors in the old era, especially when there is a conflict between law and morality, sometimes she has to choose the former.

For example, slavery, she knew it was an evil deed, but this kind of behavior was legal in the New World, and she could not change the status quo by herself, so she had to pretend to be deaf and dumb in order to take care of the overall situation.

However, it is neither legal nor reasonable for the cultists to do things in Lake Aosta. If the Countess just let these villains go, she really couldn't swallow this breath.

"Ms. Josephine said in her reply that we can ask Jenny, Peter and Sean to stop their activities in the Aosta Lake District immediately in her name. If the other party is obsessed with it, let me send her a letter and she will come forward to solve it in person. trouble."

In addition to the above, the Countess also mentioned in the letter that she wanted to bring a friend over and introduce her to Joan, but she did not disclose the identity of this friend.

Qiao An felt that the latter paragraph had nothing to do with the main purpose, it was just a private matter, so he didn't tell everyone face to face.

After hearing his retelling, everyone's expressions improved, including the Zion siblings.

This matter was resolved by the countess herself, which was not a bad result for both the enemy and us.

"Let's hit the road now, teleport directly to the hideout of the cultists, and warn them to stop committing crimes immediately!"

If those three cultists don't listen, and even take the initiative to attack us, we can only be forced to fight back. It's best if the countess arrives in time. If she can't come, no wonder we don't give her face! "

Hailar looked around at his companions, his eyes sparkling.

"What do you think?"

Pinkerton, Ruby, and Zion siblings all nodded in support of Hyrule's position. Joan couldn't think of a better countermeasure, so she opened the storage bag, took out the "teleportation" scroll, and led everyone to the place where the Wasp and the others went. The lakeside woodland where he hid.
