Chapter 219, Another Sacrifice

PS. Three updates today! Everyone, get excited!

PS2. Here again, I would like to thank the book friend "Gongzi WV" for his silver alliance. Thank you very much!

"I immediately summoned the Holy Grail Knights, first locked up Fiona and Mathurbard for interrogation, and then sent the Lake God Prophet to Belion to interrogate the crime!" Morgiana said almost instinctively. She looked very angry and stood Get up and go out.

"Wait! My Royal Highness." Ryan watched her hurrying out and quickly grabbed her wrist.

The God's Chosen Champion was still a little weak, and he was a little unsteady when being led by Morgiana. The Lake God Witch quickly supported him: "Be careful, your injury is not healed yet, I will take care of this matter."

"No, my Highness, you have to understand one thing. First of all, eavesdropping cannot be used as evidence. Secondly, if there is no way to take away the stolen goods, we will not be able to convict His Excellency Theodoric. Nine volumes We still have no conclusion as to whether the book really existed and whether it was really lost in the Night of Blood. We cannot act rashly like this." Ryan quickly advised: "I overheard all this information. I can't tell whether it is true or false. confirm."

"Well, I understand." Morgiana helped Ryan sit down on the chair. The Lake God Witch was also a smart person, and she immediately understood what Ryan meant.

Taking into account the political impact, it is impossible for the Lake God Witch to rashly convict a duke, nor to use the eavesdropping Ryan as evidence to ask him to come out and confront Fiona. From the physical evidence, the nine volumes have been lost. Well, if Theodoric refuses to admit it, Morgiana cannot forcefully detain and interrogate the Duke himself. Although the power of the Lake God Witch is great, she cannot ignore the king and many great nobles in the country, and The rules set by the Lake Fairy would arouse the disgust and rebellion of almost all the Dukes.

"Your Excellency Theodoric is not the Knight of the Holy Grail yet, and 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 Highness, the King of Blood What happened to you in the night was a bit strange. We finally found some clues, but we can't..."

Morgiana nodded slowly, and the Lake God Witch sat down: "Eat first, and after eating, let us analyze this matter in detail."

"good."

The Holy Communion belonging to the Lady of the Lake was as sumptuous as ever. Among the silverware, cutlery and candlelight, Ryan ate a big meal, while Morgiana ate less.

After dinner, everyone took a shower and changed clothes. Morgiana motioned to the servants and the Lake God Prophets to go down. She uneasily set up a variety of detection magics throughout the suite, and closed the suite door and the room door tightly.

Ryan and Morgiana were the only two people left in the bedroom.

The Lake Witch was wearing a pure white angel layered chiffon dress. She and Ryan sat opposite each other on the courtyard balcony filled with flowers. Morgiana took off her crown, and the bright moonlight shone on her face. : "The vampire problem in Britannia has been around for a long time. We have made many efforts, but all have failed. You all know these things. It has been discovered more than once that an entire Duke and his family have turned into Midnight Noblesse.”

Ryan nodded, he sorted out his words, and then asked: "My Lord, can you introduce the events of Blood Night to me in detail?"

"Okay." Morgiana told her experience in detail.

"Hmm~ Then there are two possibilities. The first is that Duke Theodoric has colluded with vampires. After he saw your highness, he was afraid of being discovered, so he took the initiative to trigger the Night of Blood." Ryan first made some assumptions, but then quickly denied: "But it's not very likely, because first of all, it was Duke Theodoric's default in tithes that caused you to come to Belion Castle in person. If he is really afraid of fighting with When you meet, first of all, he won’t meet you at the singing hall, and then he won’t have to sacrifice so many knights and subjects, 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 singing of the bard." Morgiana thought about that time. Case.

"So the more likely one is the second one. First of all, we assume that Nagash's nine books are really in Belion. Then the second possibility is that there is a vampire or a necromancer who got the news from somewhere, and then Taking the opportunity, he launched the Blood Night to seize the fourth volume of the nine volumes." Ryan then analyzed, he touched his chin and came up with a second hypothesis.

"The key to the problem lies in this Mathubad." Morgiana immediately grasped the key point, and the Lake God Witch took out a document: "Whether it is the bloody night of Belion or the battle of the Kurona Plains , they have one thing in common, that is, Mahhubard is nearby."

"Yes, regardless of whether Nagash's Nine Books really exist, or whether Mahhubard really stole the book, he is quite suspicious, because he was the one who was involved in the Night of Blood and the Battle of Kurona Plains. Everyone is present." Ryan nodded repeatedly, and he raised his own question: "I seem to have never seen the family crest with a yellow lion on a black background?"

"I haven't seen it either." Morgiana stood up: "Wait, I'll get the information."

Sure enough, Morgiana took out the patterns of all the family coats of arms in the Duchy of Connet, from barons to dukes. There were many family coats of arms that were very close to the coat of arms of Mathurbad, but none of them were. Exactly the same, but at first glance, this coat of arms would make you think that he is indeed a knight errant of the Principality of Connet.

Lane concluded that Mahhubard, or the people behind Mahhubard, were proficient in heraldry.

"I have a question. Your Highness, if that's the case, how did Mahhubard successfully register for the Knights Conference?" Ryan then asked.

"Obviously, there are traitors in the upper echelons of our kingdom!" Morgiana paced under the moonlight, her long skirt moving gently: "Mahubard either bribed or found a corrupt noble. , he successfully registered himself.”

"This is the reason why I don't recommend that you take action immediately, Your Highness Morgiana." Ryan shook his head slowly: "Maybe your order has just been issued, and Mahhubard has already received the news."

Morgiana nodded slowly, and the Lake God Witch walked gently in front of Ryan and said to Ryan: "As expected of the lady's champion."

"Hey, if possible, I really want to find an opportunity to arrest Mathhubard alone first." Ryan shook his head repeatedly: "But my Highness, we can't do that. Mathhubard... is a knights conference. If the runner-up is arrested rashly, it will have a very bad impact and damage the lady’s reputation.”

"This is the only thing we can do now. I will first send people to the Principality of Berlion to investigate, and then I will try to find a reason to put Mathhubard under house arrest." Morgiana's long golden hair was draped on her shoulders. His green eyes stared at Ryan, and his face softened in a rare way, and at the same time there was something strange that couldn't be said: "You look very tired. Francois definitely didn't take you out specifically because he wanted to be with you. I went out for a walk because of Marquis Sulia’s matter, am I right?”

"That's right." Ryan didn't intend to lie about this matter, he answered directly.

"Because you and Marquis Surya were dating in the windmill, you overheard the conversation between Mathubad and Fiona." Morgiana continued: "Ryan, you haven't recovered yet, so you can't wait so hard?"

"My Lord, we really have nothing to do." Ryan said with some embarrassment: "We just..."

"Just what?" Morgiana continued to ask, her eyes were serious and even dangerous: "Tell me."

This topic lasted for a long time until the moon reached the zenith.

…………

"Hu~hu~" A young knight errant was running wildly in the dark night. He was riding a mixed elf war horse on the plains of Kurona.

It's Mahhubard.

The young knight errant immediately realized that something was wrong after Fiona's questioning today. It just so happened that because of his rude behavior in the windmill, the girl felt that she had lost face, so she angrily told him to get out, not wanting to see him again.

Matthew Bader immediately misinterpreted Fiona's meaning as asking him to get out, so the young knight errant, who felt bad, rode on his horse, took his luggage, and left Fiona with a girl. After receiving the message that he would continue traveling, he quickly left Curona and headed towards the Arden Forest in the south.

After spending a day walking through the fields and lands near Curona, as the sun gradually set, Mathubad arrived near the Marquis of Glasgow.

In the distance, a huge castle appeared in front of Mathubad's eyes. The young knight-errant sneered a few times, urged his horse, and quickened his pace. The sun was about to set, and he had to hurry up.

Since the death of the Marquis of Anchy-Desmond, 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 Arden Forest. The territory under control is actually only the Marquis of Glasgow Castle and part of the land near the castle. The actual land under control is equivalent to the size of two baronies.

After the death of the Marquis of Anchy, since he had no legal heir, King Richard ordered the land to be temporarily managed by Count Alger-Rossel, the uncle of the Marquis of Anchy. This led to chaos in the castle and countless merchants and adventurers. , wandering knights and many fleeing serfs gathered near the castle. Most of them wanted to explore the Arden Forest.

It is not without reason that these people choose to explore the Arden Forest. There were villages and settlements in the Arden Forest before, and some robbers, nobles and even elves in ancient times hid treasures deep in the Arden Forest. Therefore, After the destruction of the Magic Rock, the Beastmen tribe could only hide in the depths of the Arden Forest, so many adventurers and wandering knights hoped to explore the Arden Forest in the hope of finding treasures.

Mahhubard quickened his pace, passing through the towering castle and heading deep into the Arden Forest.

There was a fire in the young knight errant's heart, a fire of resentment. His hand was holding the long sword at his waist, and there were sounds from the sword.

He was bound to win the championship of the Knights Conference, because this championship was so important to him and his godfather's future plans, so important.

Even though it's not too bad to be the runner-up now, Mahhubard still feels deeply ashamed.

Strong hatred lingers in Mahhubard's heart, and 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 decadence. And fallen nations, he swore.

Along the narrow jungle, Mahhubard looked at the mysterious marks.

While marching for several hours, Mahhubard grabbed a passing hunter, knocked him unconscious and tied him behind the horse. This was his godfather's instruction, and he would use it later.

Following the marks left by the godfather, Mahhubard bent down and entered the dark, deep, and damp cave. There was a lot of noise in the cave. A mature female voice shouted hysterically: "Give me blood! I want blood." !”

"Oh, be quiet, Ms. Mercy Archbishop, your shouting like this will not bring any benefit. On the contrary, it will intensify your symptoms of blood thirst and make you more miserable." A dry voice said, and he continued very elegantly. Said: "It makes me feel bad that you are in such pain, really."

"Undead, I curse you!"

"It's an honor to be cursed by you, ma'am."

Mashubad pulled the fainted hunter and threw it aside: "The blood is coming!"

In the dark cave, only the green will-o'-the-wisp was burning, which was the cursed fire. Mathhubad also believed in this when he was young, until his godfather told him the truth about the fairy in the lake.

So he embraced the fire and the power, but his godfather told him it wasn't time yet - he still needed to do more things on his own.

The Archbishop of the Goddess of Mercy has now lost her original dignity and grace, as well as her always loving smile. Her long hair that was originally carefully combed is now messy and filled with mud, and her dress looks like it has been worn for a long time. It's not washed, it's full of dirt.

When she saw the source of blood, she screamed and immediately subconsciously gnawed on the neck of the knocked out hunter, sucking the human blood in big gulps.

And in this process, the Archbishop of the Goddess of Mercy will be gradually transformed into a real vampire, just like Arkhan has always done, and this capture operation was relatively smooth.

"The scattered puzzle pieces are being assembled piece by piece, my godson." Arkhan raised his head, the cyan flames in his eyes and the flames on his staff were so intimidating: "But we encountered a little surprise... My godson, you have failed me.”
