Outside the count's manor, there was a dark and noisy group of people.
There was a lot of noise from Ren's battle here before, and it could be heard in the entire western area of the city, attracting some people.
In addition, bad news always spreads very quickly. Although the citizens still don't know exactly what happened, a fierce battle broke out at Count Maclay's house, which was enough to cause a sensation in the city.
At this time, more than half an hour had passed since the battle ended.
It can be seen that many people have arrived from the 7th Bureau. Deacons and patrol officers wearing uniforms and holding Force firearms have set up a cordon outside the manor to strictly prohibit anyone from entering.
And after receiving the news, Superintendent Parr, who was in charge of the 7th Bureau in the city center, rushed over as quickly as possible.
Pal Adelaide, the [Retribution Knight] profession, also known as the "Dark Knight", is a rare special extraordinary profession among humans that cultivates the dark side of the Force.
In terms of attributes, [Retribution Knight] is opposed to the church's [Paladin], and the holy power cultivated by the latter is the representative of the glorious force.
Renn once used the "detection function" to detect the superintendent. At that time, Pal was at the peak of the fourth level, level 19.
Superintendent Parr wears a half-top hat, has black hair and brown eyes, and has a face with lines that are so deep that it is unforgettable, like a stone sculpture completed by the best stonemason.
He stood on the edge of the crack, looking down at the altar and the blood pool in the center of the underground chamber, his eyes sharp.
Below, several deacons were busy, and the six or seven female corpses hung by ropes above the altar had been put down and covered with white cloth to cover the naked jade body.
"Chief Superintendent, many citizens have gathered outside, as well as spies from major families and organizations... How should we deal with the news here?"
Director Jones stood behind Parr, looking tense, and asked softly.
This incident was so big that it was extremely bad in nature. Except for Baron Ackermann, who had already left, more than thirty ladies and ladies present were temporarily detained by the people from the 7th Bureau.
"Everything will be announced. It will be published in the newspaper tomorrow. The names of the women who were murdered will be hidden. However, the news must be notified to their families one by one."
Parr's voice was steady and strong, with a hint of sullenness.
"this……"
Director Jones' eyelids twitched, and he couldn't hide the look of surprise on his face.
Doing so is basically equivalent to directly informing the whole country without any cover-up.
The real names of the female victims were hidden from the newspaper just to take care of the feelings of their relatives, not to cover up anything.
He thought that the bureau would more or less block the news about this shocking scandal, but he never thought...
"You have a problem with that?"
Superintendent Parr glanced back at Jones, who was about to speak, and said indifferently.
"Don't dare."
Director Jones did not dare to look directly into the cold gaze of his leader. He lowered his head slightly and said softly, "It's just that the queen's side——"
If this matter is publicized without any cover-up, one can imagine how heated the public opinion will be tomorrow.
My father has committed such an ugly crime. Even as a queen, I can't stay away from it. It will even affect the king and the royal family.
"Queen? Humph!"
Parr snorted coldly and said with cold eyes, "What else does she want? Director Carl would be sorry if he didn't trouble her!"
Do you really think you can cover up this kind of thing?
Not to mention whether the departing Master Ackerman will keep secrets, there are more than thirty ladies and ladies here, and more than thirty mouths, should they all be killed and silenced?
Upon hearing Director Carl's name, Director Jones shrank his neck and did not dare to say a word.
Director of the 7th Bureau, Karl Mordred, nicknamed "The Butcher", is the head of the ten saints of Falorland, and the strongest person in the country on the surface. He once easily tore apart the clone of Dark Prince Milo.
.
He himself was a veteran of three dynasties, and he was married to a certain princess, so he was considered half a member of the royal family.
Even when the king saw him, he would call him brother-in-law.
They are all "relatives of the royal family", and Count Maclay is not worthy of carrying shoes to the butcher.
"There is no need to hide it. This incident is just a wake-up call for the whole kingdom."
A cold and beautiful female voice came from the night sky.
Huh~
There was a flash of white rainbow, and a woman suddenly appeared on a nearby camphor tree.
She has a flawless face, wearing an elegant silk dress with a black belt around her waist, which perfectly reflects the slender curves between her lower abdomen and waist. The lace-decorated skirt sways slightly in the evening breeze, showing her fair and round body.
beautiful legs.
Her breath is misty and lofty, and the moonlight flows on her gently flying silver hair, giving people a dreamy and hazy beauty.
The one with such beauty and temperament is naturally Lucy.
"Hello, Your Highness Lucy."
Director Parr and Director Jones both bowed slightly and saluted.
On the mainland of Saigon, if a saint does not have a specific title or title, he or she can be called His or her Highness.
Every saint deserves to be called His Highness, and there is no need to pay homage to the king of any country. This is the privilege of the strong.
Lucy nodded slightly, her beautiful crimson eyes staring at the seven female corpses covered with white cloth on the ground, her dark eyebrows frowning slightly.
As a saint guarding this city, she sensed the battle at the manor as soon as it started. Since she did not need to take action, she silently watched the whole process.
But seeing this evil corpse refining technique that desecrated the dead still made her very disgusted.
Her face also turned cold and she said:
"Seize and seize all the funds and properties under Count Maclay's name, compile evidence, record confessions, and send a copy of the information to the noble court in the royal capital."
Director Jones' eyelids jumped when he heard this, and he was a little speechless.
This is where the house raid begins...?
I didn't hear that Lucy had any grudge against Queen Kitty, but she didn't even wait for the verdict to come down before she started to "whip the corpse" of Earl Maclay.
Pal's eyes were a little surprised, but he didn't object and asked:
"What to do with the earl's property?"
"As usual, half of the compensation is given to the victim, and the remaining half goes to Baron Ackerman." Lucy said calmly.
Director Parr and Director Jones looked at each other with incomprehensible expressions.
This is not the custom. Thirty percent should go to Count Maclay's relatives (excluding accomplices), thirty percent should be paid to the victim, and the rest should go to the brave man who cleans up the rapist.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It always feels like Lucy is targeting the queen, or in other words, favoring someone.
"Is the queen suspected of this matter? Is she involved?" Lucy asked bluntly with a cold face.
Judging from her tone, it seemed like she was going to shoot at the queen if she had any objections.
Director Jones felt cold sweat break out on his forehead when he heard this, and murmured in his heart.
Who said Lucy has a good temper? Judging from her appearance, she doesn't seem to mind taking the opportunity to mess with the queen.
"Your Highness Lucy, our brother can guarantee this with his life, and the queen will never know anything about it!"
Before Director Parr and Director Jones could speak, the twin knight brothers hurried over next to them and made a vow.
"Brother Horton?"
Lucy glanced at the two Golden Rose Knights, a hint of reminiscence flashed in her crimson eyes, without comment.
"It is our honor to be remembered by you."
When they discovered that Lucy could recognize them, the two royal knights looked a little flattered.
The corners of Lucy's mouth raised slightly, her alluring smile almost made the moon eclipse, and she said:
"Don't get me wrong, I just found that you are a bit similar to that old gangster Viscount Horton. Back then he stalked me so hard that I threw him into a stinky ditch. He cried ugly."
Brother Knight: "..."
Σ(?д?;)
It turns out that their father also has this dark history...
Then, Lucy sneered again and said: "I will contact the nobles, the church, the Demon Hunter Association and other forces in this city to form a review team to thoroughly investigate this matter.
What you said had better be true, otherwise, the Horton family will be buried with the queen this time."
Brother Holden's face turned pale and he was a little panicked.
In fact, they did not dare to be 100% sure that the queen was completely unaware of her father's evil deeds.
It is true that they did not know that Earl Maclay had fallen, but the queen was not sure.
Although they are the bodyguards sent by the royal family to protect the count, when the queen contacts her father, they may not always go through them.
This matter has become a big deal, and its impact is extremely bad. The Horton family is also a die-hard supporter of the queen in Farrowland.
They could only pray that the queen herself was not involved.
Otherwise, Faloran may have to change to a new queen, and the noble groups that have gathered around the queen will all suffer the same fate.
…………
It was already late at night, and the stars dotted the night sky, guarding the bright moon.
Downtown, east side, Brave Building.
This building is a landmark building in Merova City. On the third floor, there is the office of the Witcher Association in the city.
At this time, the atmosphere in the mission hall was depressing, and women were crying.
A female corpse was wrapped in white cloth and placed on a long table. Next to it were more than twenty people from the Demon Hunter Association, ranging from first to fourth levels.
"Woo, Valenti..."
Shirley grabbed the female corpse's hand hard, her eyes were red, and her fair face was covered with tears.
Half an hour ago, people from Bureau 7 delivered the body of the female witcher here.
Valenti, 21 years old, is a third-level black hunter. Although he has just been promoted to third level, his potential is not bad and he has a bright future.
It's a pity that the fragrance passed away midway.
She lay quietly on the table, her eyes closed, her expression peaceful, her face slightly red, as if she was just asleep, but there was no soul or force fluctuation in her body, she was just a "living" body
It's just a body.
Shirley grabbed her hand and put it on her face, letting tears blur her eyes, sobbing, and couldn't help cursing:
"Damn Count Maclay, a beast, a pervert, worse than a beast... He actually tortured Valenti like this..."
Next to them, more than twenty extraordinary people from the Demon Hunter Association were silent and looked ugly.
Ren was among them. He was sitting on the sofa nearby, looking at Shirley who was cursing Count Macrae crazily, and sighed helplessly.
Valenti died tragically.
According to the autopsy report of the 7th Bureau coroner, she was cursed with weakness during her lifetime, and there were still some aphrodisiac residues in her body. She had obviously been raped and abused more than once and by more than one person.
Some of them were even non-human. Except for Count Maclay, those demons also raped her.
They humiliated her and tortured her until she completely collapsed physically and mentally, then sacrificed her soul full of negative emotions such as resentment and fear, then used magic to heal her scarred body and refined it into a high-end doll...
The fallen Count Maclay has no humanity left.
Bang!
A grumpy old man with a cigarette in his mouth and three scars on his face angrily punched the wall with his fist and said angrily:
"MD, I'm so pissed off. The more I think about it, the angrier I get. That bastard of a bitch, Count Maclay. If I hadn't cut him into pieces, I would have smashed his head bit by bit."
"Brother" refers to Ren, which is what people in the Witcher Association in this city usually call him.
He has risen so quickly that he currently has no code name or official title. In addition, he is very young and his title is not prominent, so calling him "little brother" is a special feeling of closeness and respect.
The scar-faced man's words also aroused everyone's anger.
Many people were no longer silent, and on the spot some people began to greet the eighth generation of Earl Maclay's ancestors and the female relatives of the family.
"Indeed, that old guy is so cheap. He should be cut into pieces!"
"It's better to kill him quickly. If I don't do it, the old beast might still be able to live in prison. He is the queen's father after all."
"What a piece of shit queen, fuck her to death!"
Some people were so popular that even the queen also scolded him.
Killing people can only be done with a nod of the head.
As demon hunters, they often fight on the front line, and are basically used to life and death. If Valenti was just killed directly, they would not be so angry.
But that guy, Count Maclay, had no humanity at all, and Valenti died so tragically.
Ren walked to Shirley who was crying, patted her on the shoulder, handed her some tissues, and comforted her:
"I am sorry for your loss."
"Thanks."
Shirley took the tissue and wiped her face, her eyes were red, and she choked with sobs, "She was so happy when she was promoted to the third level, and she told me that she would take on big orders and earn money for a dowry... What a fool, she
I must have been deceived by that old guy."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Renn did not speak, just listened silently.
He actually met Valenti several times three months ago. Although he couldn't say that he was acquainted with her, at least he was acquainted with her.
Originally, before he saw the blood pool, the altar, and the corpse of the female witcher Valenti in the secret room, he had not thought about killing the count, otherwise the count would die if he met him.
Although he is not afraid of the queen, there is no benefit in offending her in Falorland.
However, when he saw Valenti's body, he did not hesitate to kill all the guards in the manor, bleeding into rivers, and decisively hacked to death Count Maclay.
Don't want to endure it.
If I don't kill the count, I feel angry and unhappy.
"Ren, thank you for avenging her." Shirley thanked her with a grateful face.
"It should."
"No, I must thank you, because I really don't want that beast to live in this world for one more second." Shirley grabbed Ren's hand with a solemn look on her face, and her tone was full of resentment when she mentioned the earl.
Ren was slightly startled.
It's rare to see her like this.
From the moment he met Shirley, she had always been a heartless, wild and rebellious rich girl. She ran around every day, fished for handsome men, slept with handsome men, and often seduced him...
It seems that what happened this time had a big impact on her.
"Brother, you may have offended the queen to death this time, so be careful in the future."
The grumpy old man with a scar face came over and reminded me kindly.
Renn was not afraid, but was a little surprised, and said: "If something like this happens, can she still keep her position as queen?"
If there were no blood pools, altars, and seven female corpses, maybe the nature of this incident would not be so bad.
But now it is a very serious event.
Sister Beverly of the church, Miss Stacey, the third daughter of the Earl of Wilton; the witch hunter Valenti; the niece of the dean of the School of Philosophy at Melova University, Emma Stora; the famous soprano Gina
…
There are seven young women in total, all of whom have good backgrounds.
Apart from anything else, Valenti's death will not alarm the headquarters of the Witcher Association in the Nokman Empire, but in the Faloran branch, the branch president, Master Randy, will definitely put pressure on the royal family.
Even if Master Randy doesn't put pressure, Ren will. He is also the vice president of the association.
Together with the family members and friends of other victims, it is already a great force, and it has the support of public opinion.
The queen's energy is so great, how can she withstand this?
Shirley wiped the tears on her face. Although she was angry, she still shook her head and explained:
"It depends on whether Queen Katie is involved. If she doesn't know about it and doesn't have any involvement, it won't lead to her downfall."
This is easy to understand.
For example, there is a man who commits a heinous murder and is worse than a beast. He should be shot a hundred times. But should his children who are unaware of his crimes also be shot together?
Of course this is impossible.
Count Maclay committed a heinous crime that cannot be washed away, but the queen did not commit a crime...
...if the queen really didn't know.
"This is pretty awesome."
Ren sat on the sofa and sneered, "I thought she would definitely be finished this time."
He had the revenge of killing his father, and he had offended the queen. Naturally, he wished that she would be unlucky, and it would be best if she was deposed as the queen.
The scar-faced demon hunting master reminded: "Brother, you are a bit underestimating the queen's energy."
"Don't she have no family background?" Renn shrugged and said subconsciously.
With all due respect, her father, Count Maclay, was nothing but a loser. A few hours ago, demons and guards were all trying to protect him at the manor.
The count himself knows nothing but sneak attacks. Whether it is combat experience or fighting will, both are terrible.
It relies on the daughter's filial piety and consumes a lot of resources to pile up the flowers in the greenhouse.
Without relying on their daughter, Earl Maclay's family is really a bit out of the ordinary, far inferior to Rennes' old enemy, Earl Ange.
Count Ange was tricked many times by someone named Lei, and his face was covered in blood, but he still didn't fall down, and would pop up to disgust him from time to time.
Count Ange himself is a powerful man at the peak of the fourth level. He has a fiefdom, a castle, and a private army... There is a sanctuary-level rune array under the castle. There are several fourth-level extraordinary people at home, as well as allies and in-laws.
A lot of...
If Ren hadn't gone to clear the dungeon, he wouldn't have been able to completely defeat Count Ange for a while.
In comparison, Count Maclay is too good.
Strictly speaking, he is the only fourth-level strongman in the entire manor...
My father had too much crotch and was still a beast, so even Ren and I had a bit of contempt and contempt for the queen.
Shirley patted Ren on the shoulder and said with a serious face:
"She had no background before, and people also called her the 'Common Queen' and 'Lucky Katie,' mocking her for her humble background and her becoming the queen was purely luck.
But that was before. She had been the queen for more than 70 years. She gave birth to four sons and two daughters for the king, and she had many princes and princesses. Her eldest son Edward was still the crown prince...
The reason why Earl Maclay's family is not well-connected is because she has integrated into the royal family over the years and may not care much about her original family.
Think about it, if someone wanted to target the queen, how would the princes and princesses react?"
Renn: "..."
(一`′一)
So that’s it. Now, those princes and princesses should explode, right?
After all, someone killed their grandfather, and the queen's situation became embarrassing and dangerous.
In any case, things are going big this time, and even if the queen doesn't know about it, don't think about staying out of it, or she might get a serious fall.
But at the same time, Renne also attracted enough hatred. At least the people in the queen's family probably hated him to death.
He shrugged and said, "I see, I really have stirred a hornet's nest."
A bunch of princes and princesses really scare the baby to death.
