Count Dorell is a little old man with a somewhat wizened figure. He only wears close-fitting white pajamas and looks a little dissatisfied.
However, when facing Cecilia, Count Dorell wisely did not explode. He just shrugged and said with amusement and humor: "Hello, beautiful Ms. Cecilia, such an embarrassing meeting.
It's a pity for both you and me. I think you could actually give me some time to at least put on my dress."
Cecilia was not good at chatting in an aristocratic way. She said calmly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Dorrell, but I have to attend to official matters. It is also a good thing for the security of your territory to check the suspicious people in your territory.
"
"Ha! My territory, isn't it?" Count Dorrell sarcastically said in a noble tone.
In fact, Count Dorell had a reason to be unhappy, because at this time, the central province, the large and small noble territories, and the defenses had all been taken over by the imperial army. Otherwise, how could he, a lord who owns one-third of an acre of land, be taken over by the imperial army?
He was kicked out of his bed and was so embarrassed that he didn't even have time to change into formal clothes.
Cecilia ignored it. She ordered the noble children of Dorell to form a team and then identify them one by one.
For Cecilia, who is already equivalent to an awakened person, it is easy to identify the lurking awakened person. Because the "transformation" function of the awakened person is aimed at people in the spiritual world, it is very difficult for Cecilia, who is also an awakened person.
invalid.
Therefore, as long as the image of a character seen in Cecilia's eyes is inconsistent with the image seen in the eyes of a person in the spirit world, it means that there is something wrong with that person.
Cecilia took the lead, followed by Sister Celine and Knight Captain Phil.
"The first one." Cecilia said.
Phil looked at it carefully and said, "It's a white silk pajamas, nothing special."
Sister Celine's eyes flashed with a slight blue light. After looking at it, she said: "There is no magic disguise."
"The second one."
Cecilia looked calm as she went through the screening one by one.
As the screening work progresses, the anger in Count Dorell's heart is slowly building up. However, the situation is stronger than the person. Even if Cecilia is not found after the screening, Count Dorell can't do anything to Cecilia.
.
At least, you can laugh at her, Count Dorrell thought.
Suddenly, there was a slight commotion behind the team.
"What are you going to do?"
Two imperial soldiers on guard stopped a young nobleman from the Dorell Territory.
The young man rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "I'm going to take a moment."
"Lady Cecilia has an order that no one is allowed to leave until the interrogation is completed."
"Please, are you going to let a well-educated nobleman do it in front of a lady? This is too ridiculous." The young man sneered and handed over two Plantagenet Empire gold coins.
An Imperial soldier subconsciously wanted to get the gold coins, but the other man pulled his companion warily, took a step back, and raised his weapon.
"Get back in line!"
"Haha... Damn it, I obviously don't want to do it..."
The eyes of the noble young man suddenly became fierce, and the original sleepiness disappeared without a trace! He raised his hands, two cold lights flashed, and immediately two Imperial soldiers fell down holding their necks, and blood spurted out.
!
A noblewoman from the Dorell Territory saw this scene and screamed: "Lord of Light! Joseph, what are you doing!"
The aristocratic young man named Joseph did not answer. There was a flash of light under his feet and he suddenly accelerated and ran away.
Now everyone saw his problem.
Sister Celine, who was standing next to Cecilia, raised her hands and prayed loudly. A beam of light projected down and turned into a cross, nailing "Joseph" in place.
"Joseph"'s body surface flashed with light, he had released his control state and ran wildly.
"stop!"
Cecilia and Phil got on their horses and led a group of Imperial soldiers in hot pursuit.
The cavalry archers brought by Cecilia from the North even straightened their bows and set arrows, and fired a covering rain of arrows at the escaping "Joseph".
After "Joseph" took a few arrows, his movement speed slowed down a lot.
Phil galloped forward and charged, holding his lance flat, intending to skewer "Joseph" into candied haws.
However, "Joseph" used a prop again, and his figure quickly faded and became invisible. Phil lost his target and had to interrupt his charge.
"There!" Sister Celine waved her hand and fired a beam of light, which exploded in the air. "Joseph", who had originally ducked down and escaped carefully, was directly illuminated.
Cecilia took a deep breath, drew her bow and drew an arrow!
Sniper arrow, activate!
"Joseph" felt a chill in his heart. Before he could react, he was hit by an arrow and penetrated directly! The arrow's power was endless, lifting his body and nailing it to the wall, causing him to enter a dazed state.
Phil led the light cavalry roaring down and surrounded "Joseph".
"Just go ahead and capture him, you have no way to escape!" Phil shouted.
"Joseph" did not look at Phil, but looked at Cecilia with a pair of eyes full of resentment: "You damn inferior native... you have no idea what kind of existence you have provoked! Wait, we
I won’t let you go!”
Phil was furious and stabbed "Joseph" with his lance. However, "Joseph" turned into a white light and disappeared, leaving only an arrow nailed to the wall and a stain of blood.
"Don't be nervous, he has escaped from our world."
Cecilia simply said, "This person is not from our world, but a speculator from another world."
"Come from another world?" Phil was startled, "Is it the same as the Lord?"
"That's right, but he and Dio are not the same people. Dio is on our side." Cecilia said softly.
"What's going on? How can Joseph have such good skills and courage? Lord of light, what happened?" Count Dorrell said blankly, "Joseph is my second son, and I am more powerful than anyone else."
Getting to know him... he has always been in weak health, and not long ago he even suffered from a serious illness and almost died."
"Your second son, Your Excellency Joseph, is probably dead." Cecilia said simply. "These speculators from another world want to take advantage of His Majesty's Western Expedition to start a rebellion in the central province, so they lurked in some places.
In a noble family, pretending to be your family."
Count Dorell's repressed anger disappeared without a trace, replaced by a chill: "If I don't agree with the rebellion... I will be killed by this kind of lurker."
Cecilia nodded slightly, and no longer continued the conversation, but continued to examine. The difference was that Count Dorrell became much more cooperative. Every time he examined a person, he also took the initiative to introduce the person's identity, as well as some
Simple information.
"Huh, the review of Earl Dorel's territory has finally been completed... expelling a hostile awakened person."
Cecilia opened a map and looked at the four red circles marked on it. Two red circles had already been ticked. She took out her quill and marked the third red circle representing the territory of Earl Dorel.
It was checked and marked with a number: 1.
"Our work is not over yet, there is one last thing left, Murray leads... Let's go!"
A group of imperial troops, led by the cavalry, left in a mighty manner.
