Chapter 159 High Table Meeting

But even though he said that, he was still very angry, so he directly changed his tone and said to Nohill and Ska.

"... Be careful what you say, young man. You have to know that detaining a duke out of thin air is no small matter, especially when you have so serious accusations against her and even took action to do such a thing without evidence. But it can easily be judged as murder."

These words were not polite at all, and directly made the situation there instantly become more tense. Seeing that the situation was not right, Mrs. Satir immediately prepared to step forward to ease the situation, but was blocked by other soldiers.

"You said the Duke colluded with the devil? Indeed, there are indeed a lot of devil corpses in the courtyard now. If one or two of the devil corpses here are alive, it can be regarded as evidence that what you said is true, but they are all dead. And those guards don’t know much, so I’m afraid they can’t do anything to prove it for you.”

What Havanak said made Nohir and Ska sink in their hearts. Nohir began to wonder if the rumors about Havanak he had heard before were rumors. If it was true that the rumor was true, what would be the success rate of directly pulling Sika away now?

But fortunately, things were not that bad. Havanak suddenly changed his tone.

"The only thing I can see at the moment that might support me in doing this is probably the hostages you rescued. But even so, we can't rely on the meager words of a few people to deal with one person so quickly. If a duke is arrested, Baldur's Gate's current rules and procedures will be completely disrupted. "

At this moment, Havanak looked directly at Nohir, and he spoke to Nohir word for word.

"I need evidence to do this, and it must be real, genuine evidence that can truly prove that the Duke betrayed humanity and Baldur's Gate. Do you have this?"

Nohir also understood Havanak's intentions at this moment. He was just beating the two of them with words before, but he still hoped to directly bring the Duke to justice here.

"I apologize for my previous unreasonable words and deeds. I was really a little too impatient on such a major matter. It was not my intention to be so offensive."

"And of course there is evidence, otherwise we wouldn't be able to do such a bold thing."

"...Very good, I accept your apology, since you are so polite."

Havanak shouted with his thick voice to the soldiers gathered around him!

"Soldiers! Control everyone in this manor, temporarily detain the devil believers inside and anyone who may be related to them, and block the news. Before what happened today is completely clear, no one can Don’t tell anyone!”

"As for you two, Nohir Temariti and Sika Chitrugu, come with me and bring your so-called evidence. I will hold a high table meeting overnight and hope that you two will bring the news It can open up some cracks in the current corrupt situation.”

The arrest operation went very smoothly, in fact, it was almost too smooth, because Nohill and Ska had solved almost all the difficulties. Nohill had already solved the most difficult bones. Chewed down in advance.

This led to the monitor soldiers successfully arresting Duke Vansample and his eldest son, and putting magic handcuffs on them all. At the same time, based on the clues provided by Nohill, they discovered the secret passage in the restaurant, as follows After arriving underground, they instantly understood that what Nohill and his party said was true. The runes and murals from hell directly proved that the underground of the Duke's Palace was a gathering place for devil believers!

Originally they thought there would be a lot of resisters underground, but after careful searching, they only found a room full of broken corpses in the temple at the end.

Such an exciting scene made some of the soldiers who had never seen such a big scene vomit in disgust, but some veterans suppressed their nausea and began to investigate the causes of death of these corpses.

"What's going on here? Who killed these people?"

"The bodies are still fresh. They died not long ago, but who did this? Who would do this?"

"There are burnt marks on the fracture. Did they die from some form of energy attack? No, it doesn't feel like it. I can only confirm that they did die from an energy attack, but the method of death is unknown. This kind of wound doesn't look like it." It was cut with a knife."

"Did those two people kill these people?"

"No, I don't think those two people can accomplish such a tragic massacre. Based on the freshness of the corpses, it can be inferred that their death time was definitely not more than half an hour. In other words, these people died when we came here. Ten minutes ago, I don’t think the two of them could kill all these people in this time.”

"Gioia is right. Even if they can really do this, their bodies will definitely be stained with a lot of blood. But although there is blood on their bodies, they are far from being able to kill so many people. The amount of blood splattered on their bodies, and paying attention to the positions of these dead people, it seems that they did not resist at all, but allowed themselves to be slaughtered by others. "

"What, what can do this? Is there some kind of powerful demon hiding here? Did the demon kill them?"

"Isn't it more likely that it's the devil?"

"Shut up! You two, whether it's a demon or a devil, we can't easily deal with those who can cause such a massacre. Be careful. Send someone to contact the sheriff to report the situation here. We..."

"Everyone come here! I found a living person! Maybe we can ask him for some information, but he seems to be seriously injured. We'd better take him away quickly... Oh, damn! He is incontinent. This person seems to be a fool!"

Havanak did not follow the team escorting the Duke to the northwest. That direction is where the Sentinel Castle is located, but he did not choose to return to the base camp. Instead, he led a small team of monitors straight to the north.

This direction leads directly to the Supreme Hall in the center of the Shrine Street. That is the meeting place of the Four-Man Council and the Zong Noble Council. Although it is generally not open at night, tonight is obviously an exception.

Because the situation was too urgent, Havanak had used the sound stone to inform several high-level figures who still held some power in Baldur's Gate, and directly initiated a high-table meeting with them, which would only be proposed when life and death were decided. Most of these bigwigs responded to him, and now almost all of them were rushing to the Supreme Hall.

Noshir, Scar and the rescued hostages were all following Havanak all the way. They saw the tall and majestic building in less than ten minutes.

A large open space was artificially reserved in the center of the Zhongkan Street, and a small city was built on that open space. The city occupied a very large area, and the open space around the city was not small.

The pentagonal wall with a height of 30 feet (10 meters) surrounded the six-story castle in the middle. There was a raised tower in each corner of the pentagonal wall. The golden magic light above the tower illuminated the entire block, and at this moment, the attic on the top floor of the castle also lit up.

"It seems that someone has arrived. Get ready, boys, prepare your evidence, and then tell them the truth. I hope that this cruel truth can bring the power of Baldur's Gate together again."
