The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

The next morning.

Keith walked out of the room, and when he passed by the place where Valk unloaded his armor, his expression suddenly became rigid. He immediately called the butler to ask, "Where's Valk's armor and sword?"

Why are they all gone? !

Butler: "Master Keith, Master Walker..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a person walking in from the door.

Walker seemed to be sweating a lot, and his thin clothes clung to his body, revealing his strong muscles.

He held the sword in one hand, wiped his hair with a dry cloth in the other, and asked with a puzzled face, "Brother, what can you do? I just practiced swinging a sword in the courtyard..."

While talking, Valk casually placed the big sword in his hand on the table, and took a gulp of the clear water that he asked the housekeeper to prepare in advance.

Keith glanced at the butler.

The butler nodded: "Yes, Master Keith."

"Master Valck got up early to practice, and his armor was also moved to the bedroom by the servants, saying that he would clean it himself."

Keith twitched the corner of his mouth slightly when he heard the words: "It's nothing... I just thought you left the house without saying hello."

Valk smiled: "How could it be, brother."

After a while.

Harry William came down the stairs too.

He found an appropriate reason to ask Valk to stay at home, and it would not be too late to return to the territory with Designia after the three-day mourning was over.

Walker agreed.

After that, Harry William left the mansion with a satisfied expression, while Keith William stayed at home.

Valk said that he would go back to the room to wipe and clean the armor.

As soon as he entered the room and closed the door, his face immediately sank.

He walked quickly to the window, looked out sideways, secretly observed with the vision from a high place, and determined the number of people who should be guarding around, and he had a general idea in his heart.

Walker did return to Xia Zuoyi's resting place in the middle of the night last night.

In the royal city.

Judit was worried that Xia Zuoyi would sleep alone, so he also slept on the sofa outside the little earl's room, and was woken up by the shaking of Valk who came in through the window in the middle of the night.

Valk quickly covered Judith's mouth, which was about to shout, and said in an inaudible way: "Shh, I have to wake up the Earl, there is something to do..."

Judit frowned and nodded, wondering why he came back at this time?

The two then woke up Xia Zuoyi, who was soundly asleep.

"What is it?"

Xia Zuoyi fell into a drowsy sleep at the moment, sat up and scratched the mark on her face from the pillowcase, tilted her head and yawned.

After rushing into Wangcheng for several days, he was already a little tired and very sleepy.

Then he seemed to realize something suddenly, his eyes became slightly clear, and he looked at Walker: "Why are you back? It's not dawn yet."

Walker told Xia Zuoyi what he heard in the first half of the night.

"...That's it, Lord Earl, Bas Ridges wants to kill the prince, control all the lords, and take the opportunity to seek the throne."

Xia Zuoyi digested the sudden conspiracy, and muttered: "The old thing really has no good intentions."

Judith said: "Master Earl, what should we do now?"

Xia Zuoyi frowned and thought for a while: "The former king was in good health and seemed to be able to live for a few more years, but the news of his death came suddenly and unexpectedly..."

"The death of the former king... Could it be related to Bas Ridges?"

Walker thought: "It's very possible."

He said: "If the death of the former king is really related to Bas Ridges, then the practice that all the lords of Gadayat will come to the king's city to mourn the king... should also be in his plan."

"The duke has the right to manage the finances and regulate the knights guarding the royal city. Is it possible... the entire royal city of Kaes is now under the control of Bas Ridges?"

Xia Zuoyi's face also turned serious when he heard the words: "Could it be that Bas Ridges has already secretly replaced all the knights in the king's city with his own?"

"If that's the case, we might have fallen into his trap from the moment we entered the city."

The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this possibility was extremely great.

Bas Ridges is no brainer.

Since he intends to wipe out all the lords and kill the prince... he must have laid out a detailed plan beforehand.

Such as controlling the royal city, or even...

Xia Zuoyi said quickly: "The lords will mourn for the late king in the church for three days."

"During this period, no unrelated people can accompany them, including knights and servants around the prince and lord. There will be special priests or attendants in the church to serve the prince and lord..."

"Valker, since your father said that everything will be over in three days, then they will definitely do it within these three days."

"The place to do it can only be in the church."

"Has Bas Ridges still colluded with the bishop or the bishop's deputy? Or both...he secretly bought them?!"

From this point of view, it is estimated that the entire royal city is under the control of Bas Ridges.

Judith said: "We have fallen into the wolf's den, but fortunately, Mr. Earl, you have arranged a team of soldiers outside the city to respond."

"But what are we going to do tomorrow?"

Xia Zuoyi said: "The prince cannot be allowed to be killed."

"And those lords who don't know the truth are also innocent. We can't escape, but they are still controlled by Bas Ridges..."

This situation will also be very unfavorable to him.

"If Bass Ridges is really allowed to get the throne, given his hatred for me and his covetous desire for salt in the sea... probably the first one will take Wissus and Fort Comoi and give me a random Once you have a crime that needs to be punished, you can send troops to crusade."

Judith and Valk nodded, the Earl was right.

Xia Zuoyi: "I have to enter the church and find a way to remind the prince and other lords that in three days, Bas Ridges probably won't do anything on the first day..."

Judit interrupted Xia Zuoyi's words worriedly.

"But Lord Earl, Bas Ridges won't do it within the first day, but it is very likely that you will be imprisoned in the church and there is no way to leave. Your situation will be very dangerous..."

Xia Zuoyi shook her head.

But he had to do it, there was no other way.

If he had been notified in advance, let alone whether it was too late or not, after all, early tomorrow morning, he would enter the church to mourn for the late king.

What's more, he can only have the opportunity to meet the prince in the church.

Moreover, he does not know who is the friend and who is the enemy of all the lords.

In case some of the lords inside have already taken refuge in Bas Ridges.

Then if he casually notified him, it would be equivalent to exposing what he knew in front of Bass Ridges, and it would be even more difficult to leave the royal city by then.

So, he had to go into the church.

Xia Zuoyi: "Valker, in order not to be noticed by your father and brother in advance, I still need you to go back, when necessary..."

Valk: "I understand, my lord."

Walker sighed after thinking about it, then put on his armor, picked up the big sword, went to Keith's room and entered, and found that he was indeed dealing with business in the room.

He quickly stepped forward and put the big sword on Keith's neck: "Brother, I need your cooperation on something."

Keith froze, then slowly relaxed, and said, "Valker, don't make such a joke with me."

"You should know I'm not joking, brother."

Valk smiled and said, "You'd better not move around, I'm not steady, in case I cut your neck..."

Keith's face turned cold instantly, he raised his head and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Valk's expression also became indifferent: "Tell me about your arrangement in the church, when do you plan to kill the prince, and when do you plan to control the lord?"

"Is Bishop Burton one of your people?"

Keith's face changed, and he couldn't help blurting out: "How do you know?!"

Valk didn't answer, but just moved the big sword closer to his neck: "Say it, brother."

Keith's expression kept changing.

He finally sneered and said, "Why, do you want to save Designia?"

"It's too late. Not only the church, but the entire King City of Kaes is already under the control of the Duke... Your Excellency, you have been planning for this day for a long time, and you are only allowed to succeed."

"Besides, at this time... the prince may have died long ago."

"what?!"

Valk didn't expect that they would do it at the beginning of the mourning ceremony...

So, the lords will also be controlled soon? !

He couldn't help being a little anxious, but he still asked calmly, "Which lords did Bas Ridges secretly buy?"

Keith sneered: "I won't say it, kill me if you have the ability, my... ok, brother, brother."

He paused every word, as if he was sure that Walker would not do anything to him.

Walker: "Brother, I hope you don't blame me."

After he finished speaking, he knocked Keith William unconscious with the hilt of his sword.

In the church of the Creator God.

Xia Zuoyi's face was a little, no, it was ugly.

Because the prince died in front of him and Marquis Keith.

He is happy now.

Fortunately, he did not come to the innermost mourning room of the church alone.

This is the place where the prince mourns alone. It is far away from the mourning room where their lords are, and it is too late to call for help.

Otherwise, Bas Ridges' conspiracy has not been exposed, and he may have been killed here by now.

Marquis Marco Keyes is the father of Nat Keyes.

Nat Keith was the noble young master he had met after entering the royal city to offer the sea salt drying method, the "seller" who wanted to beat Fernandi to death in the street, but he bought it for one gold coin.

Xia Zuoyi and Nat Case met by chance outside the church, recognized each other, and chatted a few words.

After that, Nat Case's father came to talk to Xia Zuoyi after entering the church.

Marko Case: "My son has the most rebellious personality and has been very disobedient since he was a child, but I think he treated you very well just now... How did you know each other?"

Xia Zuoyi: "Because of a slave."

Marco Case showed a surprised expression: "I don't know what's going on?"

Xia Zuoyi wondered why he asked such a thing.

Marco Case sighed: "I was busy with various affairs before, so it was inevitable that I would be a little negligent towards Nat."

"He's grown up now, but his temper is completely out of control, and he associates with a group of dubious people all day long. I, I want to teach him well now."

Xia Zuoyi nodded, briefly explained the "business" at that time, and said, "I don't think he treated me well because of this matter."

"Why is that?" Marco Case wondered.

Probably because of...the face?

Xia Zuoyi was about to speak, but suddenly saw someone walking towards the room where the prince was mourning, and soon disappeared.

He frowned, thinking of quickly reminding Bas Ridges of his conspiracy, he proposed to find the prince if he had something to do.

Marko Case nodded and went with him.

It was a coincidence that they went, but it was not a coincidence.

The person Xia Zuoyi saw just now turned out to be the killer who wanted to solve the prince.

Now that the prince is dead, the neck was cut neatly, blood was sprayed on the ground and walls, and the holy mourning room was instantly transformed into a murder scene.

Before the murderer had time to escape, they found him facing each other.

The murderer was wearing a black robe that only clergy could wear, and his face was also covered. He was shocked when he saw Xia Zuoyi and Marko Case.

In the next moment, he raised his knife and rushed towards Xia Zuoyi.

Fortunately, Marco Case was by Xia Zuoyi's side. He had been trained as a knight before, and he blocked the murder weapon back with a single block in his hand.

After that, the murderer didn't fight with him any more, and took the opportunity to jump out of the window and run away.
