Chapter 170 ·Manor time

   Outside the window of the manor, the setting sun had already set, and the bright moon Manasbury hung high in the cold sky, exuding a cold light. The manor’s waiter knocked on the door and brought a sumptuous dinner to the host here.

There was only one person in the spacious and clean living room. Lailun sat on the seat with his back against the balcony on the second floor, holding his forehead with one hand, thinking about the request of the White Wolf Elector to him, the untouched dinner was placed in front of him, gradually. Cold, the young baron remained indifferent, frowning in thought.

When the moon was in the middle of the sky, the moonlight outside the window shone on the balcony behind him, reflecting a layer of bright silver soft moonlight. The icy atmosphere in the room was broken by the sudden voice of Eureka, and the witch hunter walked in from the balcony. In the room, standing on the side of Lailun’s chair, since there was no one else in the room, her voice rarely brought some emotion and warmth: “What are you thinking about, is there anything that bothers you?”

“Eureka? My house doesn’t have a door, why do I always like to come in from other places?” Lailun looked away at the witch hunter. He let go of his thoughts and stopped thinking about those troubles. By the way, I teased Eureka: “Does every witch hunter like to go off the beaten path?”

“It’s safe, convenient, and fast. It’s more exciting to meet you in private this way.” Eureka rolled up her silver hair, and her crimson eyes were a little provocative. The witch hunter chuckled lightly: “One Wouldn’t it be ridiculous to see an imperial nobleman and a witch hunter meet in the middle of the night, and make others terrified.”

   “Ridiculous? Where is it ridiculous?” Lailun raised his brows, he was a little puzzled by Eureka’s words.

   “Haha~~” Lailun’s puzzled expression seemed to make Eureka amused, she smiled lightly, and then bent down and tapped the corner of Lailun’s mouth.

   “You…” Lailun looked helpless, he actually wanted to rest a little, but he knew that Eureka’s visit at this time was not only for kissing himself, but there must be something important.

“You went to the Great Temple of Uric today? How is the recovery of Elector Boris? He was stabbed in the heart. It is very dangerous.” The witch hunter folded and sat on the arm of Lailun’s chair. , she was dressed as usual, with a brown blouse and slim-fitting narrow breeches, well-proportioned thighs with over-the-knee boots for ease of movement, long silver hair tied up, and a cool and mature face that seemed a little pleasant. blush.

“Yes, I went to the Great Temple of Yuric. To be honest, I really gained a lot from communicating with Pope Emir.” Lailun nodded noncommittally. Kara picked it up and held it in her warm and jade-like hands: “However, at the beginning of the exchange, his tone was like the coldest wind in the northern wasteland.”

“It is said that those who have evil intentions will fear him from the bottom of their hearts when they meet the eyes of the great Uric. The character of Pope Emir is as stubborn as that of dwarves. The evaluation of the witch hunters to the great Pope Emir is unexpected. The same place, do you want to know?” Eureka smiled and narrowed her eyes. At this time, she seemed to have relaxed all her slack, and her tone was very relaxed.

   “You said.” Lai Lun suddenly became interested.

“The old white wolf has long braids, the old white wolf smells the blood, the old white wolf captures you, and the old white wolf rips you apart!” Yurika recited a series of songs in a warm voice, and it was obvious that the witch hunters were very fond of Egypt. Pope Mir was not very friendly, like he was with witch hunters. …

“…Haha. It’s really interesting, it’s really interesting.” Lailun wanted to express a vivid image, but then he thought that he was also blessed by the wolf **** Uric. He could not be sure that the wolf **** was talking about his words and deeds at this moment, so he had no choice but to He smiled perfunctorily: “This is… cough, cough, sorry, you continue to say.”

   “I haven’t answered my question yet, how is Elector Boris?” Eureka then asked again.

   “I’m afraid the situation of the elector is not ideal.” Lailun shook his head and simply told Eureka what he saw at the Great Temple of Eurek.

   Of course, all the conversations between Lailun and the Elector were hidden.

“It’s good to get rid of the danger of life. The elector of Boris is the safest in the Great Temple of Uric. He is related to the safety of the entire Midenland, but one thing is that the elector has discovered his own problems.” After finishing, Eureka nodded.

“Oh, yes, the Elector Boris asked you to choose a few things from the castle’s treasury. As his thanks to you, the Elector asked me to convey that he wanted to thank you in person, but it’s a pity…” Lailun Closing his mouth properly, without continuing, the witch hunter would understand what he was about to say.

“Oh, it’s a pity that the pastors of Urick Church are making trouble.” Eureka curled her lips, she expressed her dissatisfaction with Urick Church: “This matter has been exposed, I have something to do here. tell you.

   “Well, let’s talk.” Lailun sat up straight and raised his spirits a little.

“Lady Annika the Fallen and Luigi, the court physician, also known as the plague doctor Festus, have disappeared.” Eureka handed over a piece of parchment and showed it to Leron for a while: “My subordinate The witch hunters have been following them with the White Wolf Knight. After Mrs. Annika and the others left the Elector’s White Wolf Castle, they fled to the north. We initially guessed that she was going to meet the followers of the evil gods who were with her. , which is not the case.”

“Annika and the plague doctor-Festus had a fierce fight on the way, after which she was wounded and fled further north, bloodbathed a small village along the way, and then we found it next to a Uric shrine in the north. There were traces of fighting and spells all around her, and it was clear that Mrs. Annika was silenced by some powerful guy after the assassination.”

“This is very strange. I remember that the information you found mentioned the combination of the Hand of Black Purple and the Emerald Scepter. Even if the assassination of the White Wolf Elector was unsuccessful, in the face of the church’s cleanup, heretics shouldn’t be here. Time to spare for the aftermath, let alone silence?” Lailun was very puzzled, and he tried to learn more information.

“Yes, there is sufficient evidence to prove that the hand of Wu Zi and the Emerald Scepter jointly planned the assassination, and Mrs. Annika is a core member of the Emerald Scepter. The Emerald Scepter Sect will not give up her influence in Middenland.” Eureka nodded, and the witch hunter’s face thought deeply: “The matter has developed to this point, Madam Annika has been killed, and the court physician Luigi has fled without knowing where to go. The process in between is full of weirdness. Inside, hundreds of heretical sects lurking in Middenheim have been eradicated, but the fallen ones can still murder under our eyes, and there are serious problems within the Knights of the White Wolf. .”…

   “What’s the problem?” Lailun asked curiously.

   “After the villagers near the incident reported it, the Church of Uric also responded accordingly.”

“A team of two hundred imperial knights was ordered to investigate the situation outside Middenheim, but they were ambushed by an entire army of beastmen, mutants and two teams of white wolf knights fifteen miles from the city, and only survived. Two of them were dying, and the other was insane.” Yurika took out a file with the seal on it and handed it to Lailun, she continued, “That night, the white wolf knights group Chief Axel Wiesenberg personally led the church army and surrounded the military camp in the northeast corner of Middenheim. Afterwards, it was proved that the identity of the fallen ones was the scarlet skull of the heretic sect, a group of madmen who advocated the evil **** of chaos Khorne. .”

   “The white wolf knights who have undergone the trial of frost… have all been corrupted on a large scale. It is impossible to imagine the shadow of Middenheim…” Lailun’s voice sank.

“There are rumors that this is the heresy’s counterattack against the Urik sect’s trial movement. In the future, there will be more and more incidents like this.” Eureka nodded, her eyebrows furrowed: “It turns out that hidden in the dark The heretics in China have been on the move all the time, their fundamentals are still there, and their core has not been destroyed. Even if Mrs. Annika is average in strength, it is more troublesome to deal with, but they can kill her directly, which shows that the strength of the attacker is beyond imagination. .”

   “…This is not good news, did the three surviving imperial knights give valuable information?” Lailun frowned.

   Two hundred imperial knights were ambushed not far from the city. This loss can be described as heavy. If nothing is obtained, then the trial activities these days can be said to be more than worth the loss.

“One said they saw a two-headed dragon descending from the sky and threw themselves in their ranks, another said a mage full of skeletons ripped apart their formation, and the last crazy guy said he saw the mage’s face, and one said Betrayer.” Eureka took out another piece of parchment, and she said with a sneer: “About the other process, three people, three different accounts, the only thing that doesn’t change is that they were attacked by the fallen white wolf knight.”

   “So, who is telling the truth? Has the witch hunter investigated it?” Lailun was still looking at the contents recorded on the parchment.

   Most of the interrogators analyzed the content of the process in detail, but unfortunately the above records were very confusing and complicated, and some questions and answers were simply unanswerable.

“If it wasn’t for them being ambushed, I would even wonder if these three imperial knights drank expired and inferior barley wine. It may be true, or it may not be true. There may be a dragon. It is possible that there is only one fallen mage.” Eureka leaned softly, half leaning against Lailun’s side, resting her head on her shoulders, and raised her hand to stroke his angular face.

“The reasons behind this are interrelated, but I can’t stay in Middenheim all the time, but before I leave, I will hand over the information you have investigated to Pope Emir. As for how he solves it, it has nothing to do with us. It’s over.” Lailun thought hard about the complexity behind it, the bright moon hung high in the sky, and the young baron who had been running around all day was also a little tired. …

   “Well, I’ve finished what I have to say, you are tired too, I should go.” Eureka stretched out her hand with a smile on her face, touched Lailun’s cheek, and took it back after a while.

  Lilun reluctantly allowed her to mess around. After contacting him not long ago, he discovered a little hobby of Eureka. When getting along in private, she especially likes to touch her back and forth, just like a girl treats her doll.

   “Don’t leave in a hurry, Eureka…” The witch hunter stood up and was about to leave when Lailun stopped her.

“What? You want to repay the debt you owe me?” Eureka folded her body and sat in the chair again, cupping the cheeks of the man in front of her with both hands, and Lailun’s initiative to keep her back, which made Eureka in a good mood, with silver hair Drooping down, her glamorous and beautiful face was attached, and Wen Lan’s red lips were also attached.

“Uh… No, not… Uh…” Lailun was pressed on the back of the chair, his words were unclear, and the fiery deep kiss made him unable to resist. For a second or two, Lailun even felt that he was the one being forced .

“Huh~ What did you want to say?” After a few minutes of deep kisses, Eureka sat up satisfied, and she had undone the two or three buttons on the neckline of the man in front of her, and her neck was exposed to the air. A long string of light red hickeys.

   “Hu” Lailun involuntarily took a deep breath and exhaled longer to make himself more awake.

Facing the crimson eyes staring at him, Lailun quickly raised his hand, indicating that he began to say: “I have finished everything in Middenheim, and then, it is time to leave for the Baron, I want to ask you, Have you made up your mind?”

   “Should we continue north to the Nord Kingdom, or are there other considerations?”

  Lilun’s attitude is very sincere, the relationship between him and Eureka is self-evident, and it is normal to care a little.

   “To be honest, Lailun, I prefer to take my subordinate witch hunters to the Nord Kingdom. I have explained the reason to you.” Eureka said with a smile, her eyes as calm as water.

“Leaving Middenheim City, the witch hunter’s stronghold in the flea area is abandoned. You and your subordinates need a stable place to rebuild the stronghold.” Lailun looked her eyes and said seriously. : “I know that you have an adventurous spirit, but after the adventurous journey is over, you always need a place to repair and rest, not to mention that the current situation in the Nord Kingdom is extremely chaotic and even more dangerous.”

   “Since you say that, it means you have a good proposal, our imperial hero?” The witch hunter stood up, she knew Lailun’s proposal, but was just waiting for him to take the initiative to speak.

“Take your subordinates and go with me to the Baron Draco, at least it will provide you with a stable place.” For a witch hunter force, Lailun is in urgent need. Actions have already endangered ordinary people in the territory, and as personal prestige increases in the future, it will definitely attract more hatred.

  The biggest instability between empires is the mutual suspicion and disunity among the great nobles. The rise of the empire’s separatist forces in recent years is more because some people deliberately prevent the empire from uniting.

   Bright spears and dark arrows, the former can be dealt with, and the latter, Lailun needs special people to solve special things, and the witch hunter is the best choice.

   “I… need to think about it, I’ll give you an answer.” Eureka folded her body and hurriedly left before disappearing into the moonlight outside.
