PS. Three more updates today! Hi everyone!
PS2. Here I would like to thank the book friend "Gongzi WV" for the Baiyin League, thank you very much!
"I'll immediately summon the Holy Grail Knights, first lock Fiona and Matthew Bud for interrogation, and then send the Lake God Prophet to Bo Leon to question!" Mogiana said almost instinctively, she looked very angry, standing Get up and go out.
"Wait! My Highness." Seeing that she was about to go out in a hurry, Ryan quickly grabbed her wrist.
The champion of God's Choice was still a little weak, and he was a little unsteady when he was surrounded by Morgiana. The Lake God Witch hurriedly supported him: "Be careful, your injury is still not healed, I will take care of this matter."
"No, my lord, you have to understand one thing. First, eavesdropping cannot be used as evidence. Second, if there is no way to get the stolen goods together, it is impossible for us to convict Your Excellency Theodoric. Nine volumes Whether the book really existed, whether it was really lost in the night of blood, we have no conclusion now, and we can't act rashly like this." Ryan quickly persuaded: "I eavesdropped on these news, whether it is true or false cannot be determined. confirm."
"Well, I understand." Morgiana helped Ryan to sit down on the chair. The Lake God Witch was also a smart person, and she immediately understood what Ryan meant.
Considering the political influence, it is impossible for the Witch of the Lake God to convict a duke rashly, and it is impossible to use the eavesdropping Ryan as evidence to ask him to come out and confront Fiona. If we look at the physical evidence, the nine volumes are already lost Now, if Theodoric refuses to admit it, Morgiana can't forcefully use detention and interrogation on the Duke himself. The lake god witch has great power, but after all, she can't ignore the king and many nobles in the country. The rules set by the fairies in the lake will arouse the resentment and resistance of almost all dukes.
"Your Excellency Theodoric is not yet a Holy Grail Knight, 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 lord, the blood What happened to you in the middle of the night was a bit weird, we managed to find some clues, but we can't..."
Morgiana nodded slowly, and the Lake God Witch sat down: "Eat first, and let us analyze this matter in detail after eating."
"it is good."
The communion belonging to the fairies in the lake was as rich as ever. Among the silverware, tableware and candlelight, Ryan ate a big meal, while Morgana ate less.
After dinner, each of them took a shower and changed their clothes. Morgiana signaled the servants and the prophets of the lake god to go down. She worriedly set up a variety of detection magics around the suite and closed the suite door and the room door tightly.
Ryan and Morgiana were the only ones left in the bedroom.
The Witch of the Lake is wearing a pure white angel layered chiffon dress. She and Ryan are sitting opposite each other on the garden balcony full of flowers. Morgiana takes off her crown, and the bright moonlight shines on her face : "The problem of vampires in Britannia has been around for a long time. We have tried many times, but all have failed. You know these things. It has been discovered more than once that the entire Duke and his family have become Midnight Nobility."
Ryan nodded, he sorted out his language, and then asked: "My lord, can you give me a detailed introduction to the incident of the night of blood?"
"Yes." Morgiana recounted her experience in detail.
"Well, then there are two possibilities. The first is that Duke Theodoric has already colluded with vampires. After he saw your Highness coming, he was afraid of being discovered, so he took the initiative to trigger the night of blood." Ryan first put forward a little hypothesis, but quickly denied it: "But it's not very likely, because first of all, Duke Theodoric's arrears of tithes caused you to visit the Castle of Belion in person. If he is really afraid of talking to When you meet, first of all, he will not meet you in the singing hall, and then he does not need to sacrifice so many knights and lords, or basically,
He won't be in arrears with tithes to cause you to go in person. "
"Perhaps you are right. There was nothing unnatural about his expression when I met him. On the contrary, Theodoric was indulging in the bard's singing at that time." Mogiana thought about the time Case.
"So the second one is more likely. First, let's assume that the nine volumes of Nagash are really in Belian. Then the second possibility is that there are vampires or necromancers who don't know where they got the news, and then I took the opportunity to launch the night of blood to seize the fourth volume of the nine volumes." Ryan continued to analyze, he touched his chin, and put forward a second hypothesis.
"The key to the problem lies in this Matthew Bud." Morgiana immediately grasped the point, and the Lake God Witch took out a document: "Whether it is the night of blood in Berleon or the battle of the Korona Plain , they have one thing in common, that is, the man Matthew Bud is nearby."
"Yes, no matter whether Nagash's nine-volume book really exists, or whether Matthew Budd really stole the book, he is quite suspicious, because he All present." Ryan nodded again and again, and he raised his own question: "I don't seem to have seen the family crest of the yellow lion on a black background?"
"I haven't seen it either." Morgana stood up and said, "Wait, I'll get the information."
Sure enough, Morgana took out the patterns of all the family coats of arms from the baron to the duke in the Duke of Connett. There are many family coats of arms that are very close to the coat of arms of Matthew Bard, but none of them are It's exactly the same, but this coat of arms makes it look like he is indeed a knight-errant from the Duchy of Connecticut.
Lane concluded that Matthew Bard, or someone behind Matthew Bard, was well versed in heraldry.
"I have a question, my lord. In that case, how did Matthew Bard successfully sign up for the Knights' Conference?" Ryan then asked.
"Obviously, there are traitors in the upper echelons of our kingdom!" Mogiana paced under the moonlight, her long skirt moving gently: "Mahubad either bribed or found the corrupted nobleman. , he managed to make a name for himself."
"That's why I don't recommend Her Majesty Morgiana to act immediately." Ryan shook his head slowly: "Perhaps your order has just been issued, and Matthew Bard has already received the news."
Morgiana nodded slowly, and the Lake God Witch walked gently in front of Ryan, and said to Ryan, "You are worthy of being the lady's champion."
"Hey, if possible, I really want to find a chance to arrest Matthew Bud alone first." Ryan shook his head again and again: "But my lord, we can't do that, Matthew Bud... It's the Knights Assembly If the runner-up is caught rashly, the impact will be extremely bad, and it will also damage the reputation of the lady."
"Now that's the only way. I'll send someone to the Principality of Belaron to investigate first, and then find a way to find a reason to put Matthew Bud under house arrest." Mogiana's long golden hair was draped over her shoulders. The blue eyes stared at Ryan, his face softened rarely, and at the same time, there was something strange: "You look tired, François took you out specially because he wanted to be with you." Going out for a walk, but because of the Marquis Suria, am I right?"
"That's right." Ryan didn't intend to lie about this matter, he replied directly.
"Because you were dating the Marquis Suria in the windmill, you overheard the conversation between Matthew Budd and Fiona." Morgiana continued: "Lian, you haven't recovered yet, so you can't wait?"
"My lord, we really haven't done much." Ryan said with some embarrassment: "We just..."
"Just what?" Morgana continued to ask, her eyes were serious, even dangerous: "Tell me."
This topic continued for a long time, until the climax of the moon.
…………
"Huh~huh~" A young knight-errant was running wildly in the dark night, riding a half-breed elf warhorse, galloping across the plains of Korona.
It's Matthew Budd.
The young knight-errant immediately realized that something was wrong after Fiona's questioning today. Just in time, because of his rude behavior in the windmill, the girl felt that she had lost face, so she angrily told him to get out, and didn't want to see him again.
Matthew Bard immediately misinterpreted Fiona's meaning as asking him to go away, so the young knight-errant who felt bad rode his horse and took his luggage, leaving Fiona with a After receiving his message that he continued to travel, he hurriedly left Korona and headed towards the Arden Forest in the south.
It took a day to pass through the fields and land near Korona, and the sun was gradually setting, and Matthew Budd came near the Marquis of Glasgow.
In the distance, a huge castle appeared in front of Matthew Budd. The young knight-errant sneered a few times, urged his horse, and quickened his pace. The sun was about to set, so he had to hurry up.
Since the death of the Marquis of Onse-Desmond, the Marquess 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 castle of the Marquess of Glasgow and a part of the land near the castle, and the actual controlled land is equivalent to two baronies.
After the death of the Marquis of Anchy, since he had no legal heir, King Richard ordered the uncle of the Marquis of Anchy, Earl Alger-Rossel, to temporarily manage the land. This caused chaos in the castle, and countless merchants and adventurers , wandering knights, and many fleeing serfs gathered near the castle, and most of them wanted to explore the Arden Forest.
It is not without reason that these people choose to explore in the Arden Forest. There used to be villages and settlements in the Arden Forest, and some robbers, nobles, and even ancient elves hid treasures in the depths of the Arden Forest, so After the destruction of the Demon Rock, the Beastman tribe could only hide in the depths of the Arden Forest, so many adventurers and wandering knights hoped to explore the Arden Forest in hopes of finding treasures.
Matthew Bard quickened his pace, he passed through the towering castle, and headed towards the depths of Arden Forest.
There was a fire in the young knight-errant's heart, a fire of hatred. He held the long sword at his waist in his hand, and there were bursts of noise from the blade.
The championship of the Cavaliers Conference, he was bound to win, because this championship is really important to him and his godfather's future plans, really important.
Even though it wasn't too bad to get the runner-up now, Matthew Bud still felt deeply ashamed.
Strong hatred lingers in Matthew Bud's heart, his face is covered with haze, one day, this country built on lies and hypocrisy will be completely destroyed, one day, he will destroy this corrupt And fallen nations, he swore.
Along the narrow jungle, Matthew Bud looked at the mysterious marks.
During the advance of several hours, Matthew Budd caught a passing hunter, knocked him out, tied him up, and tied him behind the horse. This was his godfather's order, and he would use it later.
According to the mark left by the godfather, Matthew Bud bent down and entered the dark, deep, and damp cave. There was a lot of noise in the cave, and a mature female voice shouted hysterically: "Give me blood! I want blood !"
"Oh, be quiet, Madam Mercy Archbishop, your shouting like this will not bring you any benefit, on the contrary, it will intensify your blood thirst symptoms and make you more painful." A dry voice said, and he continued very politely Said: "You look so painful that I also feel bad, really."
"Undead, I curse you!"
"It's an honor to be cursed by you, ma'am."
Matthew Bard pulled the fainted hunter and threw it aside: "Blood is coming!"
In the dark cave, only the turquoise will-o'-the-wisp is burning, it is a cursed fire, and Matthew Budd believed in it when he was young, until his godfather told him the truth about the fairies in the lake.
So he embraced the fire, and embraced the power, but the godfather told him it was not the time-he still needed to do more things by himself.
The archbishop, the Goddess of Mercy, has lost her original dignity and grace, as well as her expression of eternal love and smile. Her long hair, which was originally carefully combed, is now messy and filled with mud, and her dress looks like it has been worn out for a long time. Not washed, all dirty.
Seeing the blood source, she screamed, and subconsciously gnawed on the neck of the stunned hunter, sucking the human blood.
And in this process, the Archbishop, the Goddess of Mercy, will be gradually transformed into a real vampire, just like Akhan has been doing, and the capture operation is relatively smooth this time.
"The scattered puzzle pieces are being assembled piece by piece, my godson." Akhan raised his head, the blue flames in his eyes and the flames on his staff were so daunting: "But we encountered a little accident... My godson, you have failed me."
