"Barry, go and invite Granny Blanche over. I have something to ask her for help!"
"Haha, no need, I'm coming!"
Before Clemont could finish what he said, Blanche, wearing a gray robe, walked in with a smile, followed by a series of figures in black robes.
"This is?" Clemont was shocked. Could it be that these people behind Granny Blanche are also...
"Lord, they are the culprits of this beast tide!"
When Blanche pushed out the five people behind her, Ferguson seemed to have seen a ghost, and there was no blood at all on his pale face.
"Lord Bahok, what's wrong with you?"
Looking at Ferguson who looked shocked, Bahok's tortured face was calm, and the five Taoists knelt on the ground like puppets without saying a word.
It was confirmed that these people were his colleagues. The abandoned expression on Ferguson's face was enough to prove that Clemont was even more shocked by Blanche now.
Let's not talk about how these five people were caught. Let's talk about the ability to subdue these five people. Clement was daunted by it.
"Grandma Blanche, how did you catch these people?"
Upon hearing the inquiry, Blanche smiled, looked at everyone's faces, and said to Clemont:
"Lord, let others go down first! There are some things I can only tell you and Mr. Fernandi!"
Hearing what Blanche's mother-in-law said, Clement waved his hand, and after everyone stepped back, Blanche told her story.
She knew that no matter whether the lord accepted her identity or not, if she wanted little Rita to live peacefully in the territory from now on, she must be open and honest.
Under Blanche's words, the black-robed wizard gradually unveiled its mysterious veil.
After a long time, regardless of the six black-robed wizards who were slumped on the ground in shock, Clemont sorted out his thoughts.
"Granny Blanche, that is to say, it was a hundred years ago that the black-robed wizard became like this? What happened a hundred years ago?"
Blanche shook her head bitterly, her old face full of sadness.
Seeing Granny Blanche like this, Clemont didn't ask any questions.
From the narration just now, we learned that the Black Robe Witches Association appeared a hundred years ago when Granny Blanche was still a child.
However, the original black-robed wizards only appeared in the wizard's hometown - the Kingdom of Rick, and the original nature of the organization was just a simple academic exchange organization. Its president was a very famous wizard at the time, with the power of a demigod.
Springhall holds the title of the strongest soul envoy.
And Blanche is not from the Ota Empire. The reason why she is here is because she came here later to escape pursuit.
After she became an adult, she was found to have a strong wizarding talent. The strength of her soul when she awakened was even comparable to that of a wizard who had studied for two and a half years.
All this was seen by Deacon Berkeley at the time, so young Blanche joined the Black Robe Wizards in a daze and became a disciple of Berkeley.
The professional level of the wizard is similar to that of the magician. The starting point is the wizard, followed by the soul-sacrifice wizard, the soul-awakening wizard, and then the apocalypse wizard and the soul envoy.
However, more than ten years later, in the year when Blanche was promoted to a spiritual wizard, changes occurred in the Black Robe Wizards Association.
The old president Springhall was found dead in the soul world, and the six soul stars symbolizing the master of the soul world also turned into five. This scene was also called the punishment of the god of souls by the second president.
Punish the wizards for their treachery.
Since then, the extraordinary profession of wizards has been polarized, and most of them have become street rats that everyone shouts about because their appearance symbolizes the harvesting of a large number of souls.
Only a small number of wizards have been adhering to the thinking before the accident and persisting in the previous practice methods. However, as the community of wizards has darkened, there have been fewer and fewer such wizards.
Blanche was hunted down because she disobeyed the order of her teacher, Deacon Berkeley, because Berkeley wanted her to kill civilians and harvest their souls to be promoted to spiritual enlightenment.
According to the rules formulated by the second president, any member of the Black Robe Wizarding Association who fails to carry out orders is a betrayal of the God of Souls and will be liquidated by the organization!
This is the real reason why Blanche wants to stay in hiding. At most, the temple only pays attention to her because of her status as a wizard.
Of course, there was another reason for her to avoid him, and that was that Deacon Berkeley was not only her teacher, but also someone she once liked. She didn't want to see the person she once liked become a human being or a ghost.
The six wizards present were shaking their heads like rattles at this moment. If they had a choice, they would rather choose not to have ears, because hearing these secrets would surprise them that they don't have a few minutes to live!
Blanche really had no intention of letting them go, but at this moment Clemont spoke.
"Grandma Blanche, don't kill them yet, I can still use them if I keep them!"
Before telling the story, Blanche had already told Clement everything she had interrogated, and keeping them at this time was just to cooperate with her performance.
The next day, when the sun first rose, the city top of the new city looked a little embarrassed.
But it just seems that the bodies here were disposed of by Old Barr and his people as early as last night. What is left now are just blood stains frozen on the ground. When the sun gets stronger and the ice melts away, there will naturally be no
It will look awkward.
In the castle, after breakfast, Clemont returned to the study. Old Barr and other key figures from the territory were already waiting in the study.
"Barr, how many brothers have we lost this time!" Clemont felt a little heavy when he asked this question.
"Back to Lord, a total of one hundred and twenty-six people were sacrificed last night! Seventy of them were our soldiers, and the rest were mercenaries and adventurers." Old Barr told the truth.
To be honest, in the several city defense battles that Old Barr personally participated in, the number of sacrifices was as if there were no sacrifices at all.
But for Clermont, a person who has never experienced war personally, this is a full 126 fresh lives!
He was not a cold-blooded butcher. Although he did not remember each of their names, some of the one hundred and twenty-six people might have talked to him yesterday, but now they have turned into cold corpses.
Clemont was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "Bury them all alive. Each of them is a hero who guards the territory!"
"Yes, Lord Lord! But what should we do with those mercenary adventurers?" Barr asked with a frown.
Last night's actions have offended the mercenaries. If this matter is not handled well and spread out in an exaggerated manner, it will be a great damage and tarnish to the image of the territory and the reputation of the lord.
