Chapter 437: Baan's doubts
"What did you say?!!"
Bahn, who had just emerged from Mogadha, heard this, and his face changed, immediately ran to the old man, grabbed his collar and sternly said, "What's wrong with my father?"
"Grand Duke, he...he..." The old man's voice had a hint of crying.
"What the hell is wrong?"
Bane asked, forcibly suppressing the anxiety and irritability in his heart.
The old man stabilized his mood and said, "The Grand Duke went to the palace to meet His Majesty because the Dark Elf clan provoked a war. Unfortunately, he was assassinated by the assassins sent by the violent hunting team."
boom!
The old man's words exploded directly in Bane's mind like a fire-type forbidden spell, so that Bane didn't react for a moment: "You, what did you say?"
"The Grand Duke..." The old man thought that Bane hadn't heard what he said clearly, and was about to repeat it, Bane in front of him rushed out and headed straight for the mansion of the Grand Duke Bashut.
After Bane came down from Mogada, Su Yang and others who heard the news were all looking at each other. They did not expect that in just a few days, Bane would lose his lover first and then his father.
"No, I have to follow and take a look. Little Bane must be in a bad mood now, I don't feel at ease." After Xilan said that, a Tengyue passed directly over the crowd near the airport and ran behind Bane.
Su Yang and Han Menglan also looked at each other. After nodding at the same time, they also followed Xilan.
The Grand Duke's Mansion of Bashut was not very far from Vetalun's gate, so Bathed with all his might, and after Bath was galloping, Bath arrived at the entrance of the Grand Duke's Mansion a few minutes later.
When Bane saw the white lanterns hanging high at the door of the Grand Duke's Mansion and the large number of white curtains arranged, he suddenly felt dizzy in his head. If Xilan and Su Yang, who were following him, would have helped him, Bane would have collapsed on the ground at this time.
"The young master is back."
When the guard at the door saw Bane, he immediately rushed up and said to Bane in a crying voice: "Young Master, you are back, Master..."
Before the guard could finish his words, Bane stood firm again and rushed into the mansion.
In the main hall of the Grand Duke's Mansion was quietly placed a coffin carved with silver crosses and various sacred patterns. An old man in a white priest's robe was holding a Bible in his hand, constantly muttering something in his mouth.
Seeing all this, Barn's heart suddenly felt a sensation. First, Emily's whereabouts were unknown, and then his most beloved father was assassinated by the violent hunting group. Barn wanted to ask the gods he believed in in the past, why did he treat him like this? What did he do wrong with Barn Barthot?
At this time, the old butler who had been guarding the coffin saw Bane appearing to the hall, so he quickly walked up, held Bane's hand and said, "Young master is back, it's great, the backbone of the Bashut family has finally come back."
The old housekeeper's words made Barn stunned, but he felt relieved after a while. Yes, his father, the Grand Duke of Bashut, died too suddenly, causing the Bashut family, which controls the entire southern province, to fall into chaos. Now that he has returned from the Skyward Monster, it means that from today on, Barn Bashut will shoulder the burden of leading the Bashut family, and at the same time he will become the backbone of the Bashut family.
"Old butler, how did my father die?" Bane finally calmed down and asked in a low voice.
The old butler then looked silent, and then replied in an equally low voice: "Young Master, oh no, patriarch, this is not a place to speak, please come with me."
After saying that, the old butler walked straight towards the inner courtyard behind the hall.
Seeing this, Bane first gave Su Yang and Xilan an apology look, and then followed the old housekeeper and walked together.
After Bane left, Xilan glanced at the old man in white robe who had been chanting by the coffin, snorted softly from his nostrils and walked out. As for Su Yang, he respectfully walked to the coffin of Grand Duke Bashut, bent down and bowed three times. After all, Grand Duke Bashut was quite considerate of him at the beginning, especially in Lilith. If it weren't for his recommendation, Lilith would probably be just a little girl who didn't know the world. Not to mention anything else, this alone would be worthy of Su Yang respectfully raising an incense stick for him.
After some etiquette, Su Yang was not inconvenient to stay in the mourning hall for more, so he turned around and walked out.
"Oh, boy Su Yang, you'll come out so soon." Xilan squatted on a rockery stone, holding a weed that he picked up from somewhere in his mouth.
Su Yang glanced at Xilan helplessly: "Uncle Xilan, after all, the eldest duke is also Bane's father. You have come here, so you have to give them incense sticks, after all, the dead are the most important."
Xilan spitted out a moment and spit out the weeds in his mouth: "I don't know if the dead are big. I only know that if the old guy Bashut is still alive and know that his funeral after his death is organized by those guys in the church, he will probably jump out of the coffin if he dies."
Church?
Su Yang was stunned. Did he have such a big reaction? The Grand Duke of Bashut should have no grudges with this organization called the Holy Church.
Seeing Su Yang's disbelief, Xilan pointed directly at the old man in the mourning hall and said, "Do you know who that old guy is? A pope at the headquarters of Vetalun, a peak sixth-level powerhouse. However, these old guys in the temple were very pedantic. When one of Basheut's subordinates was seriously injured, they found the help of these old guys who specialized in priest skills, the old guys refused to treat him on the grounds that Basheut's subordinates were practicing the fighting spirit with dark attributes. As a result, his subordinate died in front of Basheut's eyes because of his serious injury. He was so angry that he almost brought people to demolish the headquarters of the temple."
After a pause, Xilan continued: "Because of that incident, Bashut has disliked the church since then. He has said many times in public that if he sacrificed his life for the country one day, then the funeral will never allow a person with a church to take a step, otherwise he will die with peace of mind even if he dies."
After learning about the past between the Grand Duke of Bashut and the Holy Church, Su Yang finally understood why Xilan walked out with disdain when he entered the mourning hall and saw the pope in the temple lyrics.
at the same time
In a small hut behind the mourning hall, Bane waited calmly for the old housekeeper to answer his question, but under his calm expression was a heart full of sadness and anger, because his intuition told Bane that his father's death might not be that simple.
"Old butler, we are the only one here. If you know something, just tell me all."
"well......"
The old housekeeper sighed: "Young Master, I don't think it's that simple. I remember that the Queen Isabella came to find the Master that day, and then the Master followed a few knights from the palace to enter the palace, so he wanted to discuss with His Majesty how to deal with the war initiated by the Dark Elf Clan. But less than half a day after the Master entered the palace, news came from the palace that the Master was assassinated and the murderer was a fish that escaped the net from the violent hunting group."
Speaking of this, the old butler looked up at Bane, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
The sharp-eyed Bane naturally didn't miss this and asked, "Old butler, what else do you know? Please tell me together."
"After the news of the assassination of the master came, I sent the secret guards of the family to check it out and found that a member of a violent search team was indeed imprisoned in the death cell of the palace. And according to the eyeliner placed by our family in the death cell, this person was indeed sent by His Highness Isabella himself shortly after the assassination of the master. However, old man, I always feel that this matter is not that simple." said the old housekeeper.
When Bane heard this, he lowered his head and thought for a while. From the current situation, he judged the complete evidence of his father's assassination. It should be assassinated by the violently hunted pictures, just like the news given by the royal family. But he was like the old housekeeper in his heart, and always felt that this matter was not that simple.
"By the way, young master, there is another thing. The master's body was directly placed in the coffin and was sent back by the palace people. The visitor from the palace also specifically instructed us that the master was assassinated to protect His Majesty. His Majesty specially gave the master a silver cross coffin that only the royal family could use. Let us stop the spirit for seven days and let the master be buried in peace as soon as possible." The old butler said slowly.
When Bane heard the old butler's story, he felt a little doubtful. Although his father was the great duke of the empire and had a high position and power, the silver cross coffin could only be used according to the tradition of the empire. Moreover, any corpse that was buried with this silver cross coffin was not allowed to be opened after the coffin was installed, otherwise it would be regarded as disrespect to the royal family.
The royal family did not hesitate to violate the ancestral system to give his father the glory of the silver cross coffin. If there was no trick in it, Bane would not believe it. If there was any trick, it would only exist one point, that is, there was definitely some clue on his father's body. This clue happened to be something that the royal family wanted to conceal.
"By the way, old housekeeper, since the royal family said that my father sacrificed his father to protect His Majesty, how is His Majesty now?" Bane asked suddenly.
"ah?"
The old housekeeper was stunned and then replied: "Your Majesty is said to be too frightened and the grief brought to him by the Master's death. At present, all matters in the empire are controlled by Princess Isabella."
"Ha, can't you afford to get sick? I want to see how he can't afford to get sick." Barn sneered.
After saying this, Bane turned around and walked out of the cottage, and ordered: "Old butler, drive me out the old thing from the sacred temple. What my father hated the most during his lifetime was these hypocritical hypocrites. In addition, let me continue, I want to open a coffin and examine the autopsy. I want to see what the royal family is trying hard to hide?"
