Master Victor Lowry prides himself on being a seasoned veteran;

But at this time, the chief mage of Shuangfengling looked at his boss with uncontrollable reverence in his eyes.

——Lord, this is so wicked!

The death knight "Artificial One" was originally pulled up by the lord using necromancy from the ruins of Kemal Manor with the evil intention of revenge on the dead wood forest;

Later, a large force of the Empire's hunting team suddenly arrived. In order to clear up the relationship with the Death Knight and show loyalty to the Empire, Shuang Maple Ridge had a fake punch with "Android One", so forget it;

But Master Lowry never expected that at the end of the day, the Lord would be able to use the Deadwood Forest family crest worn by "Artificial Man One" to put another shit basin on the head of the unlucky Count Philip Netvan.

!

Master Lowry feels that what the Lord has done definitely goes beyond the scope of humanoid creatures!

This is like stealing someone else's kitchen knife, using the kitchen knife to chop the victim, and then publicly claiming that the kitchen knife was purchased by the victim under his real name, so he chopped it himself!

After a series of moves, Count Philip Netwan didn't even have the slightest room to argue!

Logically speaking, "the death knight has the emblem of the Deadwood Forest family on his body" does not necessarily mean that the Deadwood Forest is really connected to foreign countries - there are still many problems in the logical chain;

However, the chief detective of the empire's magic world, Master Namisus of Beiwang County, just used his incredible reasoning ability to find out that "the person who has anything to do with the death knight is an orc traitor who betrayed the empire", which was obviously unreliable.

The inference is deeply implanted in the hearts of all nobles...

May I ask who Master Namisas is?

He is the chief mage of Beiwang County, a good man known to everyone in the empire's magic world, a living fossil, and an old-timer!

Who dares to say otherwise to a criminal suspect identified personally by Master Naimisas?

Therefore, among the nobles present, even those who were concerned about the fact that "Count Philip Netwan was a traitor" could not help but hesitate to remain silent - after all, the worst possible outcome was to escort Earl Netwan back to the imperial capital.

, it is better to find other evidence to verify the truth than to speak rashly now and become the target of public criticism.

As a result, the imperial nobles watched in silence. Master Namisas frowned and walked to Count Philip Netwan and asked coldly:

"Philip, give us an explanation."

Count Netwan, who was surrounded in the center of the crowd, had obviously noticed the angry looks of the imperial soldiers around him and the shining swords they had unsheathed——

——The nobles who are no more sophisticated than the city government, these elites from various territories who are selected as hunting team members are often heroes who are eager for justice and love justice. They will definitely not react when they see a traitor who betrays humans and joins the demons.

any good cheer;

What's more, the first impression given by Earl Netwan's dignity is really not that good;

Compared to the young and handsome Lord of Frost Maple Ridge, most people still think that Earl Netwan has a face that looks like a "traitor".

The angry stares of the crowd clearly aroused the arrogance of Count Netwan just now.

Faced with the stern question from Master Namisus, Count Philip Netvan was like a beast trapped in a cage, he waved his hands and shouted angrily:

"Explanation! Any explanation! It's all that little bastard! He! He is -"

"Philip Netwan!" Master Namisas raised his voice, "Please tell me why the death knight summoned by the orc necromancer wears the family emblem of your Deadwood Forest on his chest?! Why contact the mole?

The orc messenger pointed you out among all the people?!"

"No! No!" Count Philip Netwan took two steps back anxiously and angrily, stretched out a trembling finger to the Xiahou officials who were watching coldly, and wailed feebly, "They are all! It's all them Yi Ge

What the Er family did..."

"Evidence! Philip, where is your evidence?!" Master Namisas was obviously irritated by Count Netwan's "quibbles" and asked loudly, "Whether it's the death knight's family crest or the orc deserter's accusation.

, everything here is witnessed by all the imperial nobles - you are so slandering a young lord here, but where is your evidence?"

"Me! How do I know!" Count Philip Netwan was obviously panicked. He suddenly turned his head and shouted at his servants and hunting team members, "Quick! Help me!"

Several young attendants with freckles on their faces took two hesitant steps towards their master. As for the hunting team members belonging to the Deadwood Forest, their eyes flickered and they did not respond to the lord's call at all.

Naimisas looked at Philip Netvan with some pity and some disgust, and sighed.

And the noble lord with the highest status here finally stood up and had the final say.

Jose Rivera, Duke of Sanshuiwan, took two steps forward and said solemnly:

"Someone, bring Lord Philip Netvan to the barn!"

"Li, Lord Rivera! No! You can't listen to that little bastard..." Seeing Duke Rivera's voice, Count Philip Netvan's last inner defense suddenly collapsed:

While shaking his head, he stepped back until his fat back slammed into the cold and hard armor of the Imperial knights.

Duke Rivera of Sanshuiwan, who is middle-aged and has a majestic Chinese character face, stared at Count Netwan with complex eyes, sighed slightly, and said in a soft and authentic voice:

"Philip, it won't be long before the city defense army will send troops over - no matter what, let's go back to the imperial capital together and ask His Majesty the Emperor to make a decision, okay? You are an old nobleman of the empire, and I believe you also have difficulties. His Majesty the Emperor, he

probably not……"

A certain loser in the Frost Maple Ridge formation suddenly shouted happily:

"Search his home! Check his background! Dig out his account books and see how much money he gave to the orc bastards!"

The expressions of the nobles present were a little nervous:

Just nearly two years ago, the Igor family of Eagle's Rest had just had their home confiscated for treason. At that time, Count Netwan seemed to have made a fortune from it. Unexpectedly, now that the Igor family has been reported to the world,

People are starting to call for raids on homes in Dead Wood Forest again...

The righteous speech of this loyal man of the Igor family certainly made the imperial nobles feel like the king's flag was changing on the city wall, but it also gave a hint of madness to Count Netwan, who was already on the verge of mental collapse.

Eyes.

I saw this tall and thick Earl of Deadwood Forest, with red eyes, suddenly pushing away the imperial knight who was trying to help him to the barn, and waving his arms in a disorderly manner:

"You! You bastards! No! You can't! It shouldn't be like this!"

"What should it not be like, Philip?!" Duke Rivera asked loudly.

Count Philip Netwan panted like a wild bull, and then suddenly burst out with a roar. Under everyone's horrified gaze, he took out a short knife from his arms and rushed towards the stunned Duke Rivera.

past!

boom!

Everyone was dazzled for a while, and when they looked again, they discovered that Count Netwan, who had fallen into madness, had been knocked to the ground by Eldridge's sword who was standing aside.

The commander of the Eastern Territory stretched out his foot without hesitation and stepped on Earl Netwan's palm, causing the latter to let go of the dagger in his hand with a wailing cry of pain, then kicked the dagger away and moved his knees forward.

Qu, pressing Count Netwan to the ground.

It wasn't until Eldridge completed this entire set of operations and completely controlled the crazed Count Netwan that the knights of Sanshuiwan hurriedly stepped forward and hurriedly protected the frightened Duke Rivera behind the kite shield -

- Of course, given that Earl Netwan has been controlled by Eldridge, this kind of protective behavior seems a bit redundant at the moment;

However, the imperial nobles present were still greatly frightened by Count Netwan's crazy attempt to assassinate Lord Rivera.

"Natwan!" Master Namisas no longer had the kind-hearted look on his face before, he shouted sternly, "What's wrong with you? Are you possessed by a demon? Do you know how serious it is to hurt a noble duke?

offense?!"

But Duke Rivera, who was almost struck by a white dagger and a red one, showed complete composure and aristocratic demeanor.

"Philippe..." Duke Rivera waved away the nervous knight guard, stared at Count Netwan on the ground, and sighed, "...are you so afraid that your home will be raided by the empire? Your home,

How awesome is it hiding?"

The imperial nobles who watched this shocking scene were shocked in their hearts.

However, Count Netwan failed to respond to Duke Rivera's question.

Because, Earl Netwan, who was pinned by Eldridge's knees, just let out a shrill wail, and then bright red blood mixed with foam poured out of his mouth like a bursting dam,

The count's roar was drowned deep in his throat and turned into a series of indistinct grunts.

Duke Rivera was stunned for a moment, and then moved his eyes downwards, only to find that a dazzling dark red was spreading from Count Netwan's abdomen and seeping into the land of Kemal Manor.

Eldridge also realized something was wrong at this moment, and hurriedly released his knees, waving his hand and pushing Count Netwan to turn over.

A huge blood-red gash ran across Count Netwan's abdomen, which was shocking.

"Surprise...Surprise..." Eldridge looked a little dazed. He calmed down for a moment, then looked up at Duke Rivera and said, "Just now, this guy just made a surprise attack on you. I was so anxious."

The next time I wasn't careful, ah, I didn't bother to retract my strength, and my dark sword was, ah, a little too fast..."

"Doctor! Doctor!" The attendants shouted at the top of their lungs, "Get the doctor quickly!"

Duke Rivera looked at the wound on Count Netwan's abdomen, and then at Eldridge's blood-stained dark sword. He was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head sadly:

"You...you also wanted to protect me, Commander Eldridge. This is not your fault..."

The elf doctors rushed over at a flying speed, surrounded the bleeding Earl Natewan and chanted the most powerful healing spells. Eldridge, who was pushed aside by the doctors, was full of guilt and self-esteem.

Responsibly, I walked back to the Frost Maple Ridge team with a feeling of loss...

...Then when passing by the lord, I secretly high-fived the boss.

But even Xia Houyan was confused at this moment:

Is this guy Philip Netvan crazy? He actually pulled out a dagger and wanted to assassinate Duke Rivera? Even if you were framed, you wouldn't be so angry, right?

It's just a death knight's family crest. It's just something that Xiahou's high officials just picked up from Black Knight, and there's no real evidence at all. The lord is still worried about how to fool him when he returns to the imperial capital for serious investigation;

As a result, we never expected that Count Netwan would become so passionate that he seceded from the people?!

Xia Houyan is very familiar with Eldridge's abilities - even if an elf doctor comes to rescue him with a sword from the commander of the Eastern Territory, Count Netwan may not be able to save his life!

But Earl Netwan's sudden madness and the development of the whole thing are really strange...

While Xia Houyan was still looking at each other with Master Laurie, a burst of exclamations suddenly broke out from the crowd of elf doctors who were rescuing Count Netwan.

"What's wrong?" Duke Rivera looked tense and asked loudly.

The elf doctors raised their heads one by one and looked at the Duke with complicated expressions, but no elf dared to answer.

Finally, a purple-haired elf girl stood up and handed a blood-stained note to Duke Rivera:

"This... this is what we found... from the middle of Mr. Netwan's clothes when we cut open his clothes and bandaged them..."

Duke Rivera took the note in a daze and held it up to his eyes.
