"Are Uncle Joel, Aunt Alisa and Alvin okay? Have they been rescued?" Lucien did not suppress his emotions and asked urgently and with concern.
And this kind of behavior is the most normal behavior for an ordinary person after hearing Natasha's words!
Although Lucien had killed Jason and the knight attendants who were guarding the prison, making the Silver Horn lose the ability to execute hostages, he did not dare to directly rescue the people for fear of exposing his true purpose. Therefore, after leaving the ruins, he had been
He was on tenterhooks, fearing that Joel's family would be affected by other people's battles and die, so his emotions at this time were sincere and appropriate, and would not make anyone suspicious.
Natasha was a little embarrassed. She liked to charge forward. She didn't care about the identity and safety of the princess and the countess. She directly followed Camille to look for the conspirator in the black forest, and then rushed in with Camille immediately.
In the underground ruins, we fought and chased the cultists, but the task of rescuing the hostages was only handed over to another knight who followed. Fortunately, the ending was not bad:
"When I returned, I confirmed that all the hostages, including your uncle's family, had been rescued. We encountered a sudden situation, and the cult retreated very hastily, so there was no time to harm them."
"This puts me at ease." Lucien showed a tired but satisfied and happy smile. This rescue operation was completely walking a tightrope. A slight mistake in every link would be the result of being burned at the stake or being sacrificed. In the end,
In addition to the advantages brought by information asymmetry, success also involves a lot of luck. I just hope that we will not encounter such difficult and high-risk things again in the future. "What about Uncle Joel and the others?"
Kamil answered for Natasha: "They have suffered serious physical and mental injuries and are receiving treatment and questioning from the church."
"Don't worry, Lucien, they are victims. The church just wants to ask some questions about the guardians of the 'Silver Horn'. Haha, Aunt Camille, the sword you used to attack the high priest of the 'Silver Horn' actually caused damage underground.
There was such a loud reverberation that it almost knocked these weak and poor people unconscious. I wonder when I will become a knight in the sky." Natasha added.
Due to Lucien's timing, there was only two or three seconds between the sound of Camille's incarnation as the tide lapping the ground and "Homantz's choking cough". They echoed exactly the same sound in the ears of the hostages in the sealed cell.
Lucien asked strangely: "What is the Silver Horn?"
"They are the group of bad guys who kidnapped your uncle's family and threatened you. They are believers of the devil and call themselves the Silver Horns. You have to be careful about them in the future." Natasha explained: "Their minds have been completely blinded by the devil. Before
During the pursuit, as soon as they are discovered, they will immediately shout 'return to eternal silence' and explode themselves, giving us no chance to capture them alive."
Speaking of this, Natasha still has some heart palpitations. Although she benefited from the mixture of the two best bloodlines and her own genius, she was only one step away from the Sky Knight in her twenties and had a lot of combat experience, but she
After all, she is a noble princess, and she has never encountered much danger or such cruel and shocking things.
It was precisely because of this emotional influence that she talked so much to Lucien to relieve her depression.
"Didn't you catch those bastards?" Lucien asked with concern and hatred, feeling that his acting skills were very good.
Natasha raised her head slightly, her suppressed emotions dissipated, and she became proud: "I captured a priest of the Silver Horn, and then through some means, I found out part of their purpose. There is a secret sealed deep in the underground ruins.
The right hand of an evil and powerful man has unfortunately been taken away by them."
Among those who chased away, Camille, Amorton and Gossett allowed the two high priests to "escape". Some of the others did not even see the backs of the cultists, while others looked at the priests and priests helplessly.
They self-destructed, but Natasha was the only one who captured one alive with her strong strength, which made her feel quite proud.
Lucien was worried: "Don't you know the other purpose? Why do they want to inquire about your information, Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"The priest doesn't know. They all act according to the orders. It seems that only the high priest knows it. It seems like there is really a big conspiracy." Natasha touched her chin.
Kamil added coldly: "After the pursuit, the church has notified the bishops, priests, and night watchmen who stayed behind to arrest all the problematic personnel in the intelligence department. I believe we can learn something from them."
"What about the kidnapper who followed me?" Lucien asked knowingly.
Natasha pointed outside: "Maybe he got the warning from the 'Silver Horn' and escaped in advance. Well, Lucien, I just stopped by to say thank you, 'Silver Horn'
The strength exceeds expectations. If their conspiracy is not destroyed in time, I am afraid it will cause irreparable losses. Haha, when you reported it to me, I only half believed it in my heart, but after investigation, I completely believed it."
"This is my honor." Lucien replied politely.
At this time, Camille's expression suddenly solidified. After nearly a minute, she said to Natasha with a serious face: "All the intelligence personnel who had problems pointed their clues to Viscount Stuart, and Stuart
The viscount committed suicide before the bishop and several earls could reach him."
Things changed a lot. Camille didn't pay attention to Lucien next to him and reported directly to Natasha.
Viscount Stuart is the top person in charge of the duchy’s intelligence department and a quasi-celestial knight.
Natasha subconsciously waved her right hand to the side, and the armor made a clear and sweet metal collision sound. Then she squinted her eyes, said with a lazy smile and a dangerous aura: "Maybe there is someone behind Viscount Stuart.
Who could be the real mastermind behind this? What is his purpose, and why would he collude with the devil at the risk of being 'cleaned' by the church?"
After she finished speaking, she remembered that this was the guest room where Lucien lived, so she put on the armor gloves that shone with milky white metal and waved to Lucien: "Things are more troublesome than imagined. I have to go back to Lata."
Let the Summer Palace handle it. I will tell the church about your activation of bloodline power as agreed before."
After a pause, Natasha said apologetically: "But you are only a quasi-knight. According to the code, it is difficult for me to canonize you as a formal knight and grant you a title. And if the matter is spread, others may just be jealous, but
The remnants of the Silver Horn's staff will definitely guess that you were the informant, and they will take revenge madly."
"This will put you in great danger, and the personnel of the principality's intelligence department and the church night watchmen have suffered serious losses this time. I am afraid that they will not be able to provide you with reliable protection in a short time."
"After a few months, after the impact of this incident has faded, I will give you a manor under the pretext of other matters."
"Your Highness, this is too precious..." Lucien subconsciously wanted to refuse, because in his heart, Alto is not a place where he can settle down and build a home. In comparison, it is better to give monetary or material rewards.
.
Natasha waved her hand and said seriously: "As the head of the Violet family and a count, I have never been a stingy person. As long as my 'knights' have made contributions and have merit, I will definitely give them
Equivalent rewards and encouragement. Fair rewards and punishments are the cornerstone of the Violet family's ability to continue for more than a thousand years. Lucien, you can't let me lose this good virtue."
"And if you hadn't obtained the information in advance this time, I'm afraid it would have been difficult for the Silver Horn to suffer such a serious setback. Haha, although your information was far off, you luckily caught up. Lucien, how did you determine the location?
of?"
Lucien knew that sooner or later he would ask about this, so he quickly told the reason he had thought of for a long time, that is, from the "Sight Ball", he saw a small species called "Silver-throated Turtle Dove" flying outside the ranger's hut.
Bird, and this kind of small bird, most people who have gone to the Black Forest of Melzer to pick up mushrooms know that its most common location is the forest near the remnant of the "Kabiko" mountain peak. Of course, seeing the "Silver-throated Turtle Dove"
"It does not mean that the peak of "Kabiko" is a remnant. It is also possible in other places, such as this time.
Natasha nodded, put on the helmet but did not pull down the mask, and her whole person looked even more heroic: "That's it, after a few months, I will find an excuse to give you a manor, as for the excuse
Well, Lucien, hurry up and compose a piece of music I like."
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generous reward, Your Highness Princess." Lucien had no choice but to thank him.
Natasha took a step forward, stepped out of the window sill, and floated in mid-air. Although she was not a Sky Knight, her "Blood Dragon Armor" had its own flying ability.
Before flying away with Camille, Natasha suddenly turned back: "As a quasi-knight, Lucien, how can you not have a knight's sword? Well, I will give you one."
"Hey, it's actually hard for you to move forward on the road of knighthood. Music is the direction you need to work hard on. Lucien, don't get confused. A young and handsome musician is very popular with girls.
Yes, even if you don’t pursue it, someone will take the initiative.”
"Ha, the silver moon is dreamy and beautiful tonight. I wonder, Lucien, would you be interested in taking a walk and admiring the moon together?"
"..." Lucien watched her figure fly into the darkness with Camille, feeling that this guy was really doing harm to his friends.
After confirming that Joel's family was safe and the possibility of him being suspected was very small, Lucien finally relaxed completely, and the deep exhaustion from the depths of his soul could no longer be suppressed.
"The most important thing is to find out the location of the Magic Council headquarters from Mr. Rhine as soon as possible. Once I have the ability to leave Alto, I will quickly find an excuse to go out. A city with a strong church power is really too dangerous," Lucien said with his words.
The joy of solving the problem, thinking about tomorrow's things before falling into deep sleep. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to register as a member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
