Chapter 757 Strong Evidence

"We are still just one step away from reaching the fifth level." Filomena held her head lazily, holy and lazy, "This progress is too slow."

Field was very satisfied and said happily: "Sure enough, we have to meet the challenge more."

If you ignore this business, there will be no gain.

After subduing the two fourth-level artifacts, Field confirmed their effects. The scimitar was useless and was broken down into divine seals by Field to strengthen his skills in the future. The tailor's needle gun was very good and could be kept for use.

Artifact: Bone-piercing Needle Gun (Level 4)

Source: Branch of Beauty God—Goddess of Tailoring and Knitting

Effect: A sharp needle gun with armor-breaking and cutting effects. It has excellent effects on both light and heavy armored units.

Special effects: For use by the Goddess of Beauty only.

"I happen to be missing a long spear. It's a fourth-level artifact. It's perfect."

This artifact has no other shortcomings except that its shape is a little weird. It is in the shape of a thin needle used by tailors.

Field picked up the needle gun novelly and waved it twice in his hand. The sharp edge shone in the air. Wherever the silver light passed, the surrounding tables and chairs were directly cut off, and the cut surface was as bright as a mirror.

"It's so sharp, I will be invincible in riding battles from now on." Field couldn't wait to use the needle gun to cut the enemy into pieces.

"Take it easy." Filomena crossed her chest with her hands and looked at Field with coquettish contempt. "Don't yell on the battlefield like last night. You can easily be assassinated."

Field apologized and scratched his head: "Well, it's thanks to Asheena this time."

"Pack your things and we'll go back to the family immediately."

At this time, the capital of the Griffin Empire was the office of the Queen's Guards.

Lance compiled a long roll of parchment, which recorded the investigation against the Ross family and Field.

After displaying the physical evidence one by one, Lance wrote down his own suggestion: reward Field heavily, and ask the Queen to summon Field to personally commend and encourage him.

"It's done. Huh~ It's not easy. I hope I can catch up with the battle against the Grand Duke Gem."

"Dong dong dong~"

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Lance picked up the sour cider on the side and took a sip.

"I just heard that you brought it back from the night, so I immediately came to visit, hoping to hear some stories about carrion eating people."

The person who came was Valk, who also belonged to the Imperial Guard and was his superior, an experienced guard in his fifties. He had an inscrutable smile and was mumbling something.

Valk glanced at Lance from bottom to top: "Thank you goddess, I am so happy to see you come back unscathed, young man."

"Ha, thank you goddess."

Lance stood up and quickly asked Valk to sit down: "However, I have to thank Mr. Field. His night collar is extremely safe."

"What do you mean?" Valk's expression suddenly changed, "That stupid rumor can't be true."

"Of course it is true. There are not only living people in the Night Territory, but also a big city. Although it is not as good as the provincial capital, it has already taken shape."

"Tsk, no wonder Sir, you gave me such an inexplicable task. I never thought that someone could really snatch the city back from the disaster."

Valk's expression changed again and again, and he asked with a strange expression: "Then how do you report it?"

"Of course I reported it truthfully. This is a good thing. The Queen will be very excited to know that the Night Territory has been subdued."

Lance couldn't help laughing: "The Empire needs good news so much."

"not necessarily."

Valk snorted coldly: "What if I say that he is suspected of murdering nobles and imperial guards."

"But there's no proof." Lance shrugged.

"He might be in cahoots with the devil."

"There's no evidence." Lance began to speak slowly, his mind filled with questions.

"No one can build a city so quickly. It's too suspicious and needs to be investigated." Valk said with a gloomy face.

"ah?"

Seeing Valker's repeated questioning, Lance keenly sensed that something was wrong: "Sir Valker, my chief, you mean..."

Valk sighed: "Let me put it bluntly. Your report is inappropriate and untrue. Replace it with mine."

After saying that, he pulled out a roll of magic paper and handed it to Lance.

Lance glanced subconsciously.

Article 1: There is no city in the Night Territory. The vain and arrogant baron deceived the great Queen. He occupied the border fortress in order to threaten the security of the empire and satisfy his rebellious ambitions.

Article 2: In many imperial battles, Baron Field deliberately dragged his feet, was passive and inactive, and had close contact with the enemy.

Article 3: Greedily extract money from the people of the empire to satisfy their own selfish desires.

Article 4:...

That’s seven deadly sins.

"Goddess is on top!"

Lance couldn't see it anymore and jumped up in anger. His strong sense of responsibility made him extremely angry.

With his fingers eager to poke the opponent's face, Lance said angrily: "You didn't go to the Night Curtain Leader. Please don't talk nonsense. This is against the spirit of chivalry."

"Calm down, calm down."

Valk spread his hands and couldn't help but sneer: "I have no grudge against Field, so use your brain."

Hearing this, Lance also came to his senses.

How many people can make their superiors do such a thing at the risk of slandering a hero of the empire?

"But why? Having a powerful noble supporting the Queen is far better than being hostile."

"Haha, he's just a baron. He's just a bug that can be crushed easily. His biggest problem is that he makes Her Majesty the Queen unhappy. This alone is enough for him to die ten thousand times."

"As for contribution, if we say we have it, we will get it, if we don't have it, we won't. If Field doesn't accept it, then just hold it in. What can he do, what can he dare to do?"

"Recognize your position. We are the Queen's sharp blades, not running out to play investigation games."

"If you really announce that the Night Territory has been subdued, you will die together!"

Valk knocked on the table loudly.

Breaking into a cold sweat, Lance understood everything.

The so-called "investigation" just asked him to make up some charges at random, but he was really stupid to investigate.

It’s like when a leader wants to fire a worker and asks his secretary to find out about his work problems, but the secretary stupidly says there is no problem and declares to everyone that the employee is a “contributive model worker.”

Isn't this just seeking death?

Many times, it's not that you're not doing well enough, but that someone doesn't allow you to do well.

As for why the investigation is fake, it is of course legal and reasonable.

"Hehehe."

Lance fell down on the chair dejectedly: "But the Grand Duke Gemstone is still at war. Do you still want to force Field?"

"Can you still be smarter than the ministers? Just report it."

Valk stood up and shattered the results of Lance's previous investigation. He walked forward and patted Lance on the shoulder: "You are still young, you will know soon. The truth and facts are the most pale and weak."

"What are you doing..."
