"Oh, in that case, you did murder me on purpose?"
While Maz and Rick were discussing, a voice suddenly sounded around them. The familiar tone made them jump up immediately: "Run?! Damn it!"
They had been staring behind them. When did the other party come to such a close distance
"I'm very sad... After all, you were once my friends..." Fang Yuan said unhurriedly: "Now you want to murder me. Don't you know what kind of price it will cost to murder a free citizen according to the laws of the principality? What? You will be sent to the gallows!"
"No!"
Rick's legs weakened and he almost fell to his knees: "This was all Maz's idea!"
"Stand up, you idiot!" Maz's eyes were red with a fierce glare, and he suddenly pulled out a dagger: "Now, the only choice is to send him to the underworld, otherwise we will all go to jail!"
He rushed forward, and the dagger in his hand stabbed out like a poisonous snake spitting a message. Although he had not received any professional assassination training, his hand was accurate and cruel. He had practiced it many times in private.
He was also the one who backstabbed Lu En in the jungle!
Snapped!
But this time, something unexpected happened.
Severe pain occurred, and Maz suddenly felt that his wrist was clamped by a strong force, and the dagger fell directly to the ground.
"It's a very good determination, but it's a pity..."
Fang Yuan sighed and exerted slight force on his wrist.
Click!
There was a harsh sound of bone cracking.
Immediately, Maz screamed and fell to the ground, almost fainting from the pain.
"Rick..."
After doing all this, Fang Yuan turned his head and looked at his other friend who was almost stunned: "Do you want to be like him?"
"No!"
Rick was suddenly startled and shook his head tremblingly.
"Very well... then tell me everything that happened!"
Fang Yuan glanced around.
Even though Luen's cabin is on the edge of the town, this kind of situation is still easy to be seen by outsiders, so it must be solved quickly.
"It's because of a legacy, Knight Jorah from Shawshank!" Rick looked at the dagger on the ground, swallowed, and said quickly: "Knight Jorah's family died of the plague, and the other heirs also died. Misfortunes have happened one after another, so it's your turn! Really... you will receive the inheritance documents soon, so Maz urged me to do it!"
"A knight's legacy?"
Fang Yuan touched his chin.
A fighter is an extraordinary profession, but a knight is a noble!
They are equivalent to the senior warriors of the lord. During war, they need to prepare their own armored mounts and even retinues to follow the lord to fight. In return, they often have a manor as a fief. If the lord cannot grant a fief, he must pay a generous sum. Annuity compensation.
Generally speaking, knights had their own manors. At this time, most manors were self-sufficient, and even produced olive oil and wine and sold them externally for profit.
Not to mention, once you become a knight, it means you have entered the ruling class. Even if it is only the lowest level, your status will immediately change.
At this time, such temptation can indeed make many people ignore the danger and make many conspiracies.
"Am I qualified to inherit the knighthood?"
Fang Yuan shook his head, feeling a little bit dumbfounded, and suddenly his face became a little solemn.
Luen's parents did not leave him any inheritance, but the status of a free citizen was beyond the reach of many commoners in this era.
"Not to mention... this Luen's mother seems to have some noble blood, although it is very thin..."
Even barons and counts cannot divide the territory in their hands indefinitely. Therefore, those concubines must find their own livelihood. It is possible to be a housekeeper for other nobles, or to become a knight's retinue, not to mention concubines. .
In such an environment, it is not impossible for the blood of a knight to spread to the families of free people.
"only… "
Fang Yuan shook his head: "This relationship is already very thin. After three generations... it will still fall on me. How many unlucky people have died before?"
He estimated that with his own bloodline, he would be lucky to be ranked eighth or ninth.
But now, a big gift from the sky hits him on the head. Does that mean that all the other heirs in front of him are dead
"The water here is simply unfathomable!"
Fang Yuan felt a chill and immediately continued to press.
This Rick was not as good as Maz, so he immediately confessed everything, to the effect that the heir behind Fang Yuan had paid a huge price to buy his life in order to obtain the knighthood!
"There is a fool who eagerly wants to sit in a position that I avoid... Of course, it is possible that he is the real culprit behind the scenes, but this possibility is too small... "
If the other party really has this kind of secret energy, it will be easy to get a knight leader for yourself no matter where you are, and there is no need to go to war in such a big way.
"Trouble is coming..."
Fang Yuan sighed lightly, but was not really afraid.
His character has always been to take things as they come.
What's more, the deeds of the Jorah knight also aroused his interest.
"But before that, we need to deal with these two troubles first!"
Fang Yuan thought for a while, escorted Maz and Rick to the town, and found the former mayor.
"Ah, it's Lu En, why are you here?"
The mayor's name was Michule. When he saw the arrival of Fang Yuan and the others, especially Maz's miserable condition and the dagger, a gleam of surprise flashed in his cloudy eyes.
"I want to sue these two people for murdering the heir of a knight!"
Fang Yuan immediately spoke loudly.
"Murder against a noble? Where is the victim?"
Michule jumped up immediately, which was different from the nature of a free citizen.
"I am the victim!"
Fang Yuan pointed at himself.
Although he did not receive the document, the dream master could distinguish between truth and falsehood, so he naturally knew that the two men were not lying.
At this time, there is nothing wrong with borrowing the tiger skin first.
"You... the knight's heir?"
Michule felt a little confused.
After all, Luen, Maz, and Rick, who were good friends at first, now escorted the two of them over to accuse them of murder, which was already very surprising.
Luen even claims to be the heir of the knights, which is even more surprising.
"Yes, I will inherit the Jorah Manor owned by Shawshank!"
Fang Yuanyan spoke categorically, but he sounded very brazen: "And these two people, in the forest, actually tried to murder me. Just now, they made another despicable conspiracy! They tried to assassinate me for the second time! "
"...I understand, guard!"
Michule looked at the dagger, called two militiamen, and took Maz and Rick down first: "No matter what, this is a case of murdering free people, I will continue to investigate, and you, Lu Well, I will confirm the truth of the matter. You cannot leave Blue Moon Town until the case is finalized!"
"Of course!"
Fang Yuan agreed immediately.
Although I know that from now on, there will probably be militiamen monitoring me, but it doesn't matter at all.
His original intention was to leave these two people to the town, and then use the channels of the town office to help him find out the authenticity of Knight Jorah's inheritance.
Anyway, after the news spreads, will the mastermind dare to continue his conspiracy
Fang Yuan was looking forward to this.
Of course, if in the end you find out that everything was an inconvenience, there's nothing to say, just pat your butt and leave.
After all, he is not the real Rune, and he has no sense of belonging to this identity.
What's even better is that Lu En's relatives and friends are almost withered. He has no worries and can take a trip at any time.
"A knight... haha..."
After returning to his wooden house, Fang Yuan sat cross-legged with a sneer on his lips: "I didn't want to cause trouble at first... but unexpectedly it turned out to be complicated and complicated... Could this be the counterattack of the world's subconscious mind?"
"When a disaster comes, it is only a bad idea to avoid it blindly. You should take the initiative to respond to the disaster in order to find a way to resolve it. It seems... I should compete for that knight's position."
…
This night, many people are bound to be unable to sleep peacefully.
In the town hall.
Michule wore a pair of round glasses and read the official documents under the oil lamp. After a long time, he took them off and rubbed his eyebrows.
In fact, Maz and Rick were not very powerful characters, and they didn't even need to be punished. They confessed everything after being frightened.
The ins and outs of the matter are already very clear.
He had even heard about Knight Jorah and knew about his misfortune.
Therefore, these two people can indeed be said to have conclusive evidence. A crime of murdering a nobleman can definitely send them to the gallows.
But how could things be so simple
Looking at this confession, Michule simply wished he could kill them directly.
"The instigator of all this is actually the businessman Owen? He is a close friend of the Baron... Could it be that there is the Baron's will behind all these things?"
It is precisely because of this consideration that Michule has been unable to make up his mind.
In fact, I wish I could stay away from this muddy water, the further away the better!
"Mayor, Pastor Torello is here!"
Just then, a servant knocked on the door, bringing news of another uninvited guest.
"Oh my God... Isn't he willing to wait even one night?"
Michule lamented, and immediately asked people to invite Torello to the hall, with a false smile on his face: "Priest, you came at the right time. Regarding your reward, I have already ordered someone to prepare..."
"Actually... I'm not here for reward!"
There was a smile on Torello's lips: "Mayor Mayor, you seem to have encountered some trouble? I wonder if I can help you?"
