Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

Chapter 67 Arresting the Suspect

Although the efficiency of the Noble Council is low, there are still ways to speed it up, such as spending money. After Elena sent five hundred gold coins on behalf of Lord Stewart, the arrest order that had been delayed for a week was finally issued.

A royal knight led 20 soldiers and two priests of the God of Order to the village ten miles outside the city of France where the suspect, hereditary honorary baron Luc Lennon, lived. Christine went with others to watch. I simply don’t believe that the other party can be caught honestly.

Although the aristocratic circle in the capital city of France is as leaky as a sieve, the people in the aristocratic council know what news should be spread and what news should not be spread. If the arrest of Luc Lennon, hereditary honorary baronet, is leaked, it will be fine if the other party escapes. If he is finally caught and the person who leaked the information is revealed, this is equivalent to being an accomplice.

Baron Stewart is a real aristocrat, and hereditary honorary Baron Luc Lennon is suspected of participating in the murder of the other party. Who would dare to risk the wealth and life of the entire family to get involved in such a thing.

So when the soldiers arrived at the residence of Luc Lennon, hereditary honorary baronet, the other party still had a blank look on his face.

The royal knight took out the order issued by the king and read out: "Luc Lennon, hereditary honorary baron, is suspected of participating in the murder of Baron Stewart. According to the order of His Majesty King Louis Capet of the Kingdom of France, please assist in the investigation."

After receiving the order, the royal knight said: "Baron Luc Lennon, please come with me."

"Okay, I'm going to change clothes."

Although he was a suspect, he still had to have some dignity as a noble, so the royal knight did not stop him. But after a while, screams came from outside. The royal knights and priests immediately came out to check and found that two sixth-level warriors and a dozen professionals were massacring the soldiers who stayed outside.

Physics professionals can wear full-body armor as clothes after they understand fighting spirit at level five. If they are loyal to nobles, they become knights, if they use bows and arrows, they become archers or rangers, and if they are good at concealed assassinations, they become assassins or thieves. The difference is only in the weapons and combat skills used. It’s just a specialty of understanding.

A fifth-level thief who has understood fighting spirit can move as freely as if he were wearing full-body armor, but he cannot use all the various combat skills he is good at.

And not all knights have a village as a fief. For example, royal knights do not have fiefs but have a fixed annuity every year. Therefore, these two warriors under Baron Luc Lennon also wear full-body heavy armor, and their combat effectiveness is the same as that of sixth-level knights.

Although he didn't understand what was going on, he didn't have time to think about it so much now. The royal knight immediately drew his sword and rushed over. The priest behind him began to bless him with the first-level magic "Demonized Weapon", which can temporarily turn the long sword into a +1 state to make it sharper. The first-level divine spell "Piety Shield" can form a force field shield around the target to absorb a certain amount of damage.

At first, the soldiers were massacred because the opponent had two high-level warriors. Now that the royal knights have stopped the opponent, the remaining soldiers can gather together and support them for a while with the help of the priest, but defeat will be a matter of time.

Instead of entering the village, Christine sent the thief Tam behind. Tam, who was hiding on the roof, saw that the other party dared to resist, and immediately sent a signal for help.

Savannah was the first one to rush in. Although a village was not small, her speed was too fast. She saw a gust of wind blowing and she had already arrived in the courtyard where the battle was taking place. Then she raised her sword and cut the melons. Cai Ban hacked all the enemies to death.

Then came twenty cavalrymen led by Knight Albert, and the remaining thirty cavalrymen blocked the entrance and exit of the village to prevent anyone from escaping.

Due to the very short duration of the battle and the blessing of the priest's magic, the royal knight was not seriously injured. Now he and the injured soldiers were treated immediately after the battle.

Ignoring the newly healed wound, the royal knight immediately said: "Knight Albert, please help me capture Baron Luc Lennon who is fighting against the kingdom."

There was nothing wrong with the royal knight saying that he openly attacked and killed the king's messenger.

"it is good!"

Knight Albert immediately followed the royal knight and led people into the main building to arrest Baron Luc Lennon, while other soldiers searched the manor.

When Baron Luc Lennon was captured, he was directing people to pack things in the basement. With Savannah there, let alone resistance, it was too late to commit suicide. The main reason is that the methods of suicide in this world are relatively primitive, such as cutting the neck and stabbing the heart with a dagger, taking poison, or jumping into a river and hitting a wall.

When everyone saw the things in the basement, they immediately understood why he wanted to attack the king's envoy, because there were a lot of "contraband" inside.

The Priory of Sion has been continuously searching for treasures and excavating ruins, and has accumulated a lot of things so far. Some of the jewelry and cultural relics can be sold, but some items involving evil beings such as demons, demons, and undead cannot be sold. There was no way to sell it, and it would be a pity to destroy it, so I could only store it like this.

Where to put it? It is definitely safest to place it in the private domain of a noble, because the noble can legally own private soldiers and has absolute management rights over the territory.

But when the royal knight arrived today with the king's order, Baron Luc Lennon immediately knew that not only had the attempt to seize the treasure map failed, but the mage sent had also confessed himself.

He sent someone to do it. If the other party didn't have enough evidence, the king wouldn't send someone. It was said that it was to assist in the investigation, but in fact it was no different from arrest. The final outcome would definitely be death, so he used the excuse of changing clothes to arrange for someone to do it. Attack and kill the king's messenger.

Many of his men were not from the Kingdom of France, and some of them were bandits, so they had no resistance at all to killing the king's envoys and soldiers.

This place is not close to Fran City. By the time the people from the kingdom found out that the envoy they sent had not returned, Baron Luc Lennon had already run away with the things in the basement.

You must know that identifying people on this continent with underdeveloped communications relies entirely on badges and clothing. When Baron Luc Lennon takes off his noble badge and changes clothes, disguising himself as a caravan, no one will be able to recognize him. Wait. It will be safe once you leave the Kingdom of Fran.

But he didn't expect that Christine would also come with him. Not only that, he would also bring Savannah, a master sword dancer, and numerous cavalry, so all the members of the Priory of Sion in the village were wiped out.

It is a grave sin to keep evil objects privately. After a brief discussion, a priest of the God of Order returned to Fran City under the protection of soldiers to report the situation and request reinforcements. The remaining people stayed in the village to guard the prisoners and the found items.

According to the "Covenant of the Gods", everyone must have faith, so there is a small temple, a priest and several apprentices in the village, who believe in a small god with weak divine power.

The priest was easily deceived by Baron Luc Lennon. Now that he knew the truth, he stepped forward to appease the villagers, and all those who did not know the truth went home.
