Lucien answered politely but without flinching: "I am John's friend Lucien. There was an emergency at his home, and I came to see him."
The dark-haired Ian snorted coldly: "John and other knights' attendants are receiving training from Sir Wayne. I am not sure that you will not interrupt them before you are his friend. You either have to prove yourself
identity, or wait patiently for them to finish."
Ian looked down upon John, who was making rapid progress and was deeply appreciated by Sir Wayne. He hated him very much, thinking that he was just from a poor background and did not know how to read. However, he relied on cleverness and followed the pedantic code of chivalry to please Sir Wayne.
He was completely inferior to his own education and strength, so when he heard that it was John's matter, Ian couldn't help but make things difficult for Lucien.
Another attendant, Dorag, also disliked John and looked at Ian "teaching" Lucien with a smile on his face.
Of course, they will never admit that their dislike and dislike are due to jealousy.
After finishing speaking, Ian looked at Lucien sternly. In his mind, Lucien, a poor man who had never seen the world, must be anxious and anxious to be so frightened by his knight attendant.
To retort, I can only beg myself, and when he has begged me enough, I will send someone to find John, and nothing big will happen.
Unfortunately, Lucien has experienced far more things than Ian, even beyond his imagination. At this time, instead of being anxious or kneeling down to beg, he instead said with a serious expression: "John's friend is in an emergency.
, his life is in danger. If he is too slow to return, causing irreparable consequences, your obstruction is the main reason. This is a behavior that seriously violates the spirit of mercy of the knights. I believe Sir Wayne will be very angry if he knows about it, and the consequences will be very serious.
serious."
From John's mouth, Lucien knew that Sir Wayne was a nobleman who strictly adhered to the way of knights. If Lucien really described it like this, he would definitely expel Ian and Dorag, and the expelled attendants,
His reputation will be completely ruined, and he will no longer be able to be accepted as a squire by other knights unless there are other opportunities.
As for John’s friend who was in an emergency, of course it was Lucien himself. For him who did not follow the path of a knight, he did not take the little white lie to heart at all, and strictly speaking, it was not a lie, at most it was unclear.
.
"How dare you threaten me?!" Ian was furious. He didn't expect that he would be warned so calmly and coldly by a lowly poor man. He wanted to pull out his knight's sword and chop him down with one strike.
As a high-level knight's attendant, the angry Ian took a step forward and exuded a dangerous aura. This was a complete explosion of the oppressive force Lucien had felt on Gary, making the soldiers behind him unable to help but fight.
He shuddered and took half a step back. Dorag, who originally wanted to take a step forward, stayed where he was, sighing at Yin En's strength.
The soldiers, Dorag, and even Ian could all imagine Lucien's reaction when faced with the full force of the high-ranking knight's attendants. He would be trembling with fear, begging for mercy in a vague voice, and might even be beaten.
I was so scared that I wet my pants.
But what Ian, Dorag and the soldiers couldn't believe was that Lucien was still so serious and calm, and asked: "Do you want to violate the knight's code now and kill innocent and weak people?"
He seemed not to be oppressed by Ian at all, and Ian and Dolag vaguely felt that the poor young man in front of him seemed to have a will as strong as a mountain.
"Do you need me to repeat what I just said? Do you really want to be expelled by Sir Wayne?" Lucien took a step forward and spoke sternly again.
Ian wished that he was the kind of villain who didn't care about his life and future. He could draw his sword and kill Lucien now, but he still wanted to be a knight, a noble, and have his own manor.
Abandoning these things in just a quarrel is definitely not his true thoughts.
As for the option of framing someone after the murder, Ian couldn't do it with John here and with the many farmers in the wheat fields outside. At this time, if it wasn't for the loss of face, he would have given in.
Seeing that Ian's momentum was weakening, Dorag understood what he was thinking. He glared at Lucien angrily and gave Ian a hand: "John is our companion. Since his friend's life is in danger, we don't have to fight with him."
You uneducated pauper, hurry up and tell John."
"Okay, if it wasn't about John, I would definitely teach you how to be polite." Ian walked down the steps and said to Lucien, completely regardless of the fact that John was the knight's squire he hated the most and wished he would die soon.
Then, because he didn't want to see Lucien's hateful face, Ian entered the manor himself and reported to Sir Wayne.
Dorag stood there with a cold face, not saying a word to Lucien.
Lucien didn't care about this at all and stood quietly waiting. Ian's oppressive force just now had little effect before Lucien's soul was hurt, but after his soul was hurt, it could shake him.
Fortunately, Lucien already had the "Ice Avenger". Just touching his finger in his pocket made his will reach the level of a first-level knight, which was much stronger than before. Ian's aura suppressed him.
Like a passing breeze, it has no effect.
Less than five minutes later, John strode out, leaving Ian far behind. When he saw clearly that it was Lucien, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Lucien, it's you! Who's out?"
thing?"
Lucien pointed to the road: "The matter is urgent, let's talk as we walk."
After trotting side by side for some distance, under John's doubtful eyes, Lucien said the lines he had already thought of: "I often meet a beggar these days. He always denounces nobles and knights inexplicably.
Yesterday, he pulled me into a secret corner and said some blasphemous words. It turns out that he is a believer of the devil and is secretly preaching in Alto."
"Originally, I wanted to go directly to the church to report him, but then I accidentally saw him mysteriously contacting Jackson from the Aaron Gang. I was worried that there was another plot that would harm Uncle Joel and Aunt Alisa, so
If I come to you directly and you report it through Sir Wayne, the church will take it more seriously."
As a young man who abides by the code of chivalry, John has no doubts about his good friends and has great trust: "Those villains of Aaron's gang are actually related to the followers of the devil. Damn it. I will report it to Sir Wayne immediately."
"Wait a minute, John, I think the matter may be more serious than you think. There are only a dozen beggars in Alto City. Where have the rest gone?" Lucien used what he knew in other words.
One way to say it.
Hearing that so many people were missing, John became even more solemn, but the gains brought by strictly abiding by chivalry and rules prevented him from panicking. Instead, he remained calm: "The devil's followers must be using those poor people as blood sacrifices."
Yes, well, the matter is very serious and Sir Wayne must be told immediately."
Lucien nodded and reminded again: "John, you must not tell Sir Wayne that I discovered it. I am worried that if the devil believers are not completely eliminated, they will come to take revenge on me after they know the truth.
, I’m just a poor man, I’m afraid I don’t have a knight to protect me day and night.”
"Okay. It's a pity that if we can really destroy the devil believers, Lucien will definitely get a lot of rewards." John understands Lucien's concerns. Maybe then he will kill the devil believers' knight attendants, and even among the knights, there are
If a person who is tempted by the devil wants no one to know, then he should limit the people who know to him. He just feels a little pity for Lucien.
Lucien smiled and patted John on the shoulder: "You also need to ask Sir Wayne to keep the secret for you. Uncle Joel, Aunt Alisa, and Alvin are all ordinary people. Anyway, your reward can be obtained from maintaining a secret."
Get it from Sir En."
If this was not the only way, Lucien would not even be willing to believe Sir Wayne. If he, a guy who only knows a few apprentice-level magics, went to the church to report, he might even be arrested, although he could find someone else.
If you go on your behalf, like an ignorant child, it will not easily attract attention. Secondly, it will leave an impression on the church pastors and bishops that there is such a mysterious figure, and there may be big trouble in the future.
At least, if even a knight like Sir Wayne, who is about sixty years old, has a strong body, a happy family, strictly believes in chivalry, and is an advisor to the Grand Duke, is tempted by evil gods or devils, then Alto may have become
It is the paradise of evil gods and devils.
"Yes, I will. Lucien, please think carefully. If Sir Wayne's reward can be divided, I will give you a share." John nodded carefully. He was not afraid of sacrificing for justice.
, but if it will harm his family and friends, let him worry.
Lucien smiled and said: "If Sir Wayne is willing to keep it a secret for you, he will definitely give you other reasons for the reward, and it will definitely not be money, etc. John, you should keep it for yourself. We are good friends, why bother about this? And
, I was still eating and drinking at your house."
At Lucien's request, John waited another ten minutes to give the people in the manor the impression that the matter was resolved nearby before returning to the manor.
Lucien hid behind the trees on the roadside and waited quietly. Six minutes later, eight strange black horses with scales galloped past. The leader was a serious old man wearing silver full-body armor, followed by seven
One of them was John, who had put on a silver-gray chainmail and was carrying a long sword and a shield. The other five were also attendants, and one was a young man wearing a white robe, who should be from the chapel of Sir Wayne's manor.
Presiding pastor.
Seeing them go away, Lucien breathed a long sigh of relief and returned to Alto.
After entering Alto and walking towards the administrative area, Lucien felt a faint vibration coming from the ground. It seemed that the church and the knights had discovered something in the sewer.
"Regardless of whether they can eliminate all the cults, it will be safe for at least two or three months. However, it seems that it will take a while before the sewers can go down. I will focus on analyzing magic first."
A few minutes before eight-thirty, Lucien finally arrived at the door of the Musicians Association.
