Seeing Ralph's sad and angry smile, Nadette looked at Ashe with a questioning gaze. The latter was expressionless, but turned his head away and did not look at him.
It's obvious what it means... Nadette couldn't help pressing his swollen head.
After taking a few deep breaths and calming down, Nadette asked, "Since your eldest daughter is missing, why didn't you ask me for help? Besides, your daughter's disappearance may not necessarily be caused by Lacus."
"Did Lux do it? After something like that happened, do I need to think more? How dare I ask you for help?" Ralph laughed twice, looking at the expression of the city lord, as if looking at An idiot: "I just reported a few words to you casually, and my eldest daughter is gone. If I report this to you again, shouldn't all my family members disappear?"
At the end, Ralph lowered his voice, his eyes were blue, as if a wounded beast was roaring at the enemy.
Ralph let out a long sigh, and he knew he had asked something stupid.
"Give him some treatment, and then let him go, and don't let him appear in Echo City in the future." After thinking for a long time, Nadette said this sentence.
Ash immediately dragged Ralph away.
But Ralph's voice still came in from outside: "City Master, you are considered a good person, forget about that vicious woman of yours, and have another one with another woman, otherwise one day, she will kill..."
Nadette let out a long breath and leaned back in the chair. A heavy sense of fatigue was on his body. He had never felt so tired and hard since he was a child, and he would never feel this way even if his life was in danger.
The biggest blow to a father is that his children make a big mistake, or he is deceived by his children.
Lacus has both.
In the past, Nadette always thought that although her daughter was very arrogant, she was still good in nature, at least she would not kill people casually. But now... everything is proving one thing, he was cheated, cheated by his own daughter.
My daughter is a demon. Although she has no strength, as my daughter, no one dares to arbitrate her, and no one in Echo City dares to disobey her, so... the arbitrator of heresy came, and so did the paladin.
Now Nadette wants to question Lacus face to face, why she did these things, and even wants to beat her half to death... But it is only half to death, his own daughter, Nadette does not want her to die, he thinks From now on, as long as she is well educated, she should be able to bring her back to the right path.
Thinking of saving his daughter, Nadette thought of the information sent by Heidi. According to the above, Cook suspected that there were moles behind the heretic arbiter and the paladin.
Nadette also vaguely felt this way. Echo City is his territory, and now there are a few outsiders staying in it, but they can't find out any information. If Cook and the others didn't come back, they wouldn't even know where the enemy is.
Although she knew where her daughter was now, Nadette was not in a hurry to rescue her. The paladin had a good reputation. She said she would save her daughter's life for the time being, and she would. The most important thing now is to find out the situation in the city, mobilize troops at the same time, and make preparations to save people.
The more prepared you are, the greater your chances of rescuing Lux.
Nadette closed his eyes and thought for a while, then left for the barracks.
Beta and Heidi returned to the hotel, and after rejecting the waiter's inquiry about whether they wanted a late-night snack, Beta sat on a chair and sighed comfortably.
Although he is very strong and his physical attributes are quite high, in the past ten days, he has either been monitoring in Ellen City or killing people. After returning, he has to consider many things, and even ran to the stinking sewer in the middle of the night Find someone. Even if you are not physically tired, you are mentally exhausted.
There still seems to be some stench on my body... Let's take a shower.
When Beta was thinking this way, she opened her eyes, and was surprised to find that Heidi had already taken off all her upper body clothes.
"What are you doing?" Beta was a little surprised.
"Take a shower." The natural voice.
"You won't go back to your room to wash?"
"I don't feel safe, what if another man breaks in?"
When she finished speaking, Heidi had already stripped herself completely, and she was facing Beta, and she continued to say without flinching: "Besides, you are not interested in my body, so I don't want to wear any clothes." For you, it's no different."
Wrong... very different.
Heidi is also quite beautiful, and few female professionals are ugly. Although her figure and skin quality are not as good as the castellan's wife, Catherine, she can still hit 80 points. Beta is a normal man, so he still thinks this Heidi is quite attractive.
He didn't look away, but smiled wryly: "In case I can't help but become wild..."
"That's what I earned." Heidi chuckled, and following her movements, the two balls of jelly in front of her shook slightly, and the cherries reflected the light under the oil lamp: "After all, I'm already thirty years old. And you're in your early twenties."
Beta shrugged helplessly, then closed her eyes.
Seeing Beta's helpless appearance, Heidi gave a soft smile and went into the bathroom. After a while, she poked her head out again and whispered, "The waiter doesn't prepare much water here. If I finish washing , you will have no water. How about... we wash together?"
"The two wash together, I am afraid that the more you wash, the more oily you will be."
"Haha." Heidi smiled happily: "I don't mind."
"But I think Nadette would mind."
"How would he know if you don't tell me?" Heidi looked at Beta with contempt: "Could it be that you have the habit of taking advantage of other women's women and like to go to others to make a big show?"
Beta originally wanted to remind Heidi that the person she loved was the lord of the city, but it turned out that Heidi didn't care about these things at all. And this time, Beta didn't feel Heidi's temptation, unlike the last few times, it was more like a good friend or a familiar sense of jokes like a confidant.
Seeing that Beta was speechless by herself, she smiled even more happily. She retreated into the bathroom, only gently closed the door, and began to take a bath in it.
The sound of rushing water rang for more than ten minutes, and then Heidi came out, steaming on her smooth body, she still did not avoid Beta, dried her body in front of the latter, and then put on her clothes.
Moaning comfortably, Heidi got dressed and sat opposite Beta.
"You were looking at me just now!"
"Ok."
"Are you not afraid of being known by Nadette now?"
"How would he know if you didn't tell me?" Beta blocked her mouth with Heidi's words.
"Hahaha." Heidi laughed and leaned forward and backward. After a while, she calmed down and said, "You are the magician and nobleman with the strangest personality I have ever seen."
Beta ignored her and continued to rest with her eyes closed.
Heidi didn't take it seriously, and said that I was tired too, and then with a smile, she turned her waist and returned to her room.
After resting for three hours, the two came to the sewer in the northern suburbs again.
There are many dense groves here, which bring great convenience for Beta and Heidi's hiding and monitoring.
Not long after they were lurking nearby, three men in gray robes opened the cover of the sewer, entered it, and came out about an hour later.
"It is now certain that there is indeed a traitor in Echo City." Sitting on a thick branch, Beta whispered, "I don't know where Nadette is, how is the investigation going?"
"Don't worry, Nadette will find out the ghost."
In fact, Nadette now knew who the insider was, and he also roughly knew who were helping the Arbiter of Heresy.
After all, their family has been in charge of Echo City for hundreds of years. Apart from the army, Nadette doesn't have many underground forces, but once something big happens, these hidden forces will emerge.
Judd was training his army in the barracks when he suddenly received news that the city lord wanted to see him urgently.
He stood at the same spot, calmed down, and walked to the highest level of the barracks with a rather calm attitude, which was the non-wartime command headquarters.
When he reached the top floor, he found that it was the same as before. Whenever the city lord appeared, there would be several guards guarding the door.
He pushed open the door and went in, his face suddenly turned pale.
Nadette was sitting in the commander's seat. On the left and right sides of the room, a row of heavily armed guards stood on each side, with a murderous aura permeating the air.
"Judd, you're fine." Nadette looked at him with a puzzled tone, "You were originally a civilian, but I brought you into the army, and I turned you into a qualified soldier." , and then teach you to be an excellent officer, I don’t understand why you betrayed me. Don’t tell me you, like Ralph, have unspeakable secrets?”
Judd's face was still pale, he lowered his head and did not speak.
"I asked you to lead a team to search the whole city, but you are obedient and obedient. Are you waiting for me to die so that you can take over my position as the city lord?"
Judd still didn't speak, he had nothing to say, because Nadette's words were all right.
He was indeed waiting, waiting for what those people promised, the city lord died unexpectedly, and then he was pushed to the position of the city lord by others.
Therefore, he deliberately did not do anything, and deliberately ordered the soldiers to do nothing, so that Nadette would fall into a more dangerous situation.
He just didn't expect that he would be exposed so quickly.
"Ash, go and inform the entire army that Judd has been relieved of his duties, and now I will lead the army myself."
Ash nodded and left.
Natchet continued to look at Judd, and his voice was a little sad: "You are not like Ralph, he betrayed me, it is justifiable, you were promoted by me, your betrayal means that I do not see people , which means that the children of the common people and the children of the nobles are equally untrustworthy. For the same young people, it is far more difficult to train a civilian officer than to train a noble officer, because you don’t even know the words at the beginning. So after three days, I will Judge you in front of the whole city, and tell the people of the whole city, because of you, I no longer trust the civilians, and from now on, the officers of Echo City will never be promoted from the civilians again."
Judd was only pale just now, but now his whole body is shaking. Nadette's words are heartbreaking.
