Chapter 681: Revisiting the City Lord's Mansion
With supernormal strength, you will naturally have extraordinary calmness.
The Great God said: "Since the death of the city lord was not caused by us, we should be able to get rid of the suspicion by examining the body and the death scene. Mr. Tom, are you willing to follow me to the city lord's mansion?"
Wooden Bell: "If you are upright, don't be afraid of the shadow. Go ahead."
"..."
...
After a brief preparation, under the leadership of the great envoy, everyone walked to the entrance of the temple.
Outside the door, hundreds of soldiers were lined up in an orderly manner, all holding sharp weapons in their hands, with cold light shining in them, and a look of solemn murder.
At the head is a knight in blue armor - the captain of the blue guards of the city lord's palace, 'Ok'.
After the two parties met, Oak bowed: "Greetings to the great envoy, and greetings to the second envoy."
The great envoy was full of momentum and looked extremely majestic: "Ok, what do you mean you came here this time?"
Oak's face was full of sorrow: "The Lord of the City was assassinated last night. Someone saw the assassin and said it was 'Tom' who was a guest in the mansion yesterday afternoon. The Young Lord of the City received a report from an informant saying that someone saw Tom entering.
Inside the temple, the young city lord specially sent me to ask you for someone."
The Great Envoy: "I talked with Mr. Tom yesterday. He has no enmity with the city lord, but he has enmity with the dark forces because of what he did in Yatu Town. Do you have any concrete evidence to prove that he is an assassin?"
?Have you ever thought about whether this could be a frame-up trick by the dark forces?"
"I have thought about it, but...I am just following orders. Now the Young City Lord is eager to catch Tom. As the captain of the Blue Guards, I can only carry out the orders of the Young City Lord with all my strength."
"The year before last, I met the young city lord you mentioned. Forgive me for being harsh, but he is just an incompetent and cowardly child. If you captains of the Guards listen to his words without any brain, it will only make the truth further and further away.
"
"..."
Oak also agreed with what the great envoy said in his heart, and he remained silent.
The great envoy continued: "Take me to the city lord's mansion quickly to check the cause of the city lord's death. Who killed the city lord? We will know after checking."
"……yes."
….
City Lord's Mansion.
When the great envoy and others arrived at the garden of the mansion, a middle-aged man dressed in brilliant brocade with sinister eyebrows and rat eyes rushed over with a large group of black-armored elite soldiers.
The man also shouted: "Listen to my order and drive out all these outsiders who have enmity with my brother-in-law!!!"
Upon seeing this, Oak hurriedly called his guards to line up to stop him. He also shouted: "Forsis! Stop it! The envoy is here! Do you want to declare war on the Temple of Mert?!"
The man called 'Fosse' seemed to be carried away by the anger and excitement. Everyone else stopped, but he still said loudly: "The Temple of Mert has long been harmful to my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law's death is related to
They have nothing to do with it! They came here just to laugh at my brother-in-law! Get out! Get out of the city lord's mansion!"
"..."
The great envoy was angered by Forsis's clown-like behavior, and her body emitted a white light.
Immediately afterwards, the pressure in the air suddenly increased, and everyone seemed to be enveloped by a thick quilt. Their bodies became heavy and their breathing became difficult.
Fussy woke up from a dream and recognized reality again.
There was a lot of fine sweat on his forehead, and he said in panic: "Big... Great God makes you master, I didn't mean it... please... please... don't be angry."
The great envoy withdrew his power and responded coldly: "Take us to see the Young City Lord. I am here specifically to help you investigate the cause of the death of City Lord Brundo."
"OK."
…
In the past, the city lord's palace dared to challenge the temple, largely because there was a powerful city lord. Now that the city lord has been assassinated, there is no one irreplaceable in the city lord's palace. Naturally, no one can stand up to him if someone comes to the temple again.
On the way forward, Divine Envoy Pell spoke to a mysterious man wearing a fisherman's hat and a hood beside him: "The Lord of Brundo City is indeed a person, but it is a pity that he died too early and did not train his successors well."
The city lord is cowardly and has no independent opinion. He has many trusted subordinates but no leader. The proud guy in front is the uncle of the young city lord. His ability to lead troops shows that the original order of the city lord's mansion has begun to collapse."
Mysterious man: "Oh? Why are you telling me this?"
Divine Envoy Pell: "The god of the 'Light Walker' once said recently, 'The change of power in the human kingdom is the most impeccable drama.' I very much agree with that god's statement."
"..."
The power is too strong among the same kind, and in the long run, most of them will develop strange temperaments and preferences.
This Pell Divine Envoy is the kind of person who develops in the direction of "spectator".
….
‘Fusis’ led the way and led everyone to the hall where the body of the city lord was parked.
In the hall, many family members, officials and soldiers knelt on the ground, crying bitterly, and the wailing sounds stopped and started again.
When the young city lord saw the visitor, he immediately walked over with a black-armored general. He cried and said, "Uncle, why did you bring the people my father hates? Didn't you say you wanted to drive them all out?"
Fusis said timidly: "Young City Lord, the Divine Envoy is here to help us investigate the cause of the City Lord's death."
Young City Lord: "My father was killed by that 'Tom'! Doesn't this need investigation?! Tom went to the temple in the evening and killed my father at night. Who is the murderer? Isn't it clear?"
Hearing this, Fusis hurriedly grabbed the other party's hand and said, "Young City Lord, don't talk nonsense! We have no evidence!"
The Young City Lord turned to look at the others, "If you want evidence, you can wait for me, Uncle Chano, to come over. Uncle Chano will definitely uphold justice for us!"
The ‘Uncle Chano’ he refers to is the current city lord of ‘Elgede’. In terms of power and energy, he is not comparable to the lord of ‘Merz City’.
If the city lord of ‘Elged’ comes over, even the ‘Merte Temple’ will have to bow its head to greet him.
But, he hasn't come yet.
…
The great master unleashed his power and said angrily: "If the Lord of Chano City wants to leave 'Elged', it will take at least half a month. This period of time is completely enough for the real murderer to erase the evidence! You are waiting for him to come, why not let your few
The captain of the Guards personally asked someone to investigate! I am the great envoy of the 'Merte Temple'. By the gods, which envoy have you ever seen who does insidious things!? Says ridiculous things?!"
The words in the Young City Lord's throat were choked. After he paused for a while, he said again: "The divine envoy can't do it, and I don't believe that other people in the temple can't do it either."
——Afraid of the opponent's power, his voice was much weaker than before.
In a "temple" with hundreds of people, there are often only one or two official envoys, and the rest are considered "clergy."
Sometimes, the meaning of divine messenger is not necessarily the meaning of temple.
