"Master Du, the identity of the assassin has been investigated." In the hall, Roses, the deacon of the court, reported to the young man sitting on the sofa. Barely comparable to a high-level envoy, seeing that the master is half a head short, he is polite, let alone facing a master like Du Dian who is destined to have an extraordinary future and unlimited potential.
Du Dian nodded slightly, seeing that Rosyth had an institutional aura, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and said, "Master Deacon, tell me, I'll listen."
Rosyth was flattered, nodded again and again, and said: "Okay, master, this assassin is named Runcorn, he came from a commoner family, and at the age of thirteen he was favored by the Veniamin Knight of the Knights Hall, and he took him as a student. Under the cultivation of Knight Veniamin, he gradually emerged, and at the age of 28, he successfully passed the Golden Knight examination and became an excellent Golden Knight!"
"Shortly after becoming the Golden Knight, Runcorn declined invitations from all parties and offered to join the Mel family. Since then, he has served as the knight commander of the Mel family... until today." Speaking of this, Rosyth raised his eyes and glanced at Du Dian. About He has heard about the conflict between Du Dian and the Mel family. As long as he wants to investigate this kind of thing, he can easily find out.
When Du Dian heard the words, his calm expression suddenly sank, and he said, "Master Deacon, what do you mean, the Mel family sent someone to assassinate me?"
Rosyth smiled wryly, and said: "Master, this is only a preliminary investigation, and it has not been found out whether it is the envoy of the Mel family or he came here..." At this point, his voice could not help but weaken.
If there is no order, why would a knight commander take the risk of assassinating a master
"Didn't find out?" Du Dian turned to look at him, "Master Deacon, how long do you think it will take to find out?"
Roses felt the anger in Du Dian's words, and smiled bitterly in his heart. He could not afford to offend either of these two ends, and smiled reluctantly: "Master, don't worry, we will seize the time to investigate, and let the Mel family give you one as soon as possible." Reply, if they are really the instigators, we will give you an explanation, and our people have already gone to the Mel family and are investigating."
Seeing this, Du Dian nodded slightly, with a bit of anger still on his face, and didn't say anything more.
"Investigate?" Just then, a clear voice came from outside the hall.
Du Dian and Roses looked and saw a middle-aged man in silver armor striding in. When he saw Du Dian on the sofa, the cold and arrogant look on his face suddenly subsided slightly, and he stepped forward and said: "The Holy See of Light" Redmayne, the Order Keeper, has met Master Du Dian, and he took the liberty to visit, and I hope you will forgive me."
What should come has finally come. Du Dian thought to himself, with a smile on his face, and said: "Hello, I didn't greet you, but I still look at Haihan."
"Master, you are polite." Redmayne smiled and said: "We were ordered to come here and cooperate with the court to investigate this assassination case, and we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, Master. Those who dare to attack Master will probably follow It is related to the dirty dark cult, and I will send someone to check on the Mel family in person later, and please wait patiently, master."
Du Dian nodded slightly, "It's time to work."
The face of Roses next to him changed slightly, and he sighed in his heart. The Mel family is really over. Assassinating the masters in the Temple of Elements established by the Holy See of Light will most likely be labeled as a cult. This is definitely not a mere Meier. The Er family can bear it, especially in the current situation of notoriety, it is unbearable to have no one to help.
"Deacon Rosyth, happy cooperation." Redmayne turned his head and stretched out his hand, smiling.
Rosyth held out his hand, nodded, and said nothing.
…
…
"What did you say?!" Melshaya looked at her elder brother Melk in shock, with a hint of horror in her elf-like eyes, and said, "Investigate us as a cult?"
Melke sighed, and the handsome cheeks that had fascinated countless rich girls were full of sadness at the moment, and said: "Based on what I know as a knight of light all these years, once the senior officials of the Holy See of Light are assassinated, they will definitely investigate strictly and send The "Order Keepers" have been dispatched. This has long been agreed with the Tribunal, and the Tribunal has no right to organize it. Once the "Order Keepers" define the assassination as a "cult activity", they will have the sovereignty over the investigation and judgment !"
"Once we have mastered the sovereignty, with the style of the Holy See of Light, we will probably investigate closely, and even use some special means, unless we are really innocent and have never had contact with the Holy See of Darkness. It will be investigated by them, and there is no escape."
Hearing Melk's words, the faces of everyone present were extremely ugly.
As the all-powerful Mel family in the business district, there are many industries under their command, and they have to deal with all kinds of people. Naturally, the Dark Church is inevitable, and even the notorious alchemists in the Dark Church are nothing to them. For all the unspoken rules and tacit consent among the nobles, no noble can say that he is innocent.
If it is strictly investigated, it will inevitably find out many things that have been covered up.
Mel Shaya bit her lip, clenched her fingers, and said, "We must not let the 'Order Keepers' intervene in the investigation. If they investigate one by one, they will definitely find out that our family has been in contact with people from the Dark Church. There are even some business cooperations, once proven, the charges are too heavy, not only will all assets be deprived, even the noble status may not be preserved."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
Why don't they know this, but what can they do to stop the order-keepers now
At this time, the back of the crowd suddenly stepped aside, and saw Melkensen walking slowly. He stood on the steps and looked around at the crowd. Looking indifferent and majestic, he said slowly: "Someone must take care of this matter. When the order-keepers of the Holy See of Light come to investigate, I will bear it. This assassination is purely a commercial competition. In this case, only some people will be punished." Money, now, you should immediately sell the real estate that can be sold as soon as possible, and transfer the property that can be transferred, and transfer the funds out of the family."
Everyone was stunned.
Melshaya stared blankly at her father, tears fell from her eyes, and there was a tearing pain in her heart. She suddenly regretted her self-righteousness and self-righteousness. If she could kill that boy earlier, what would she do? Things don't exist anymore.
But now, everyone in the entire family is forced into such a mess by the other party.
regret! pain! remorse!
She has never regretted one thing so much, and she hates that time will not be reversed for her.
Suddenly, a cough came from behind Melkensen.
Melkensen was slightly startled, turned his head to look, and saw the butler walking towards his father supporting him.
Not seeing each other for half a day, everyone looked at the old man with shock on their faces. Mel George, who was once physically strong and energetic, now looks like a real old man, with his straight back bent down, and the wrinkles on his face unprecedented Profound and old, wearing a fluffy coat, but even thinner.
"Father!" Melkensen hurried forward.
Mel George glanced at him, sighed, reached out and patted the back of his hand, and said, "Son, do you remember what I told you before, when you are knocked down by the enemy with a fist, you stab back with a sword... The future of the family is in your hands."
Melkensen's complexion changed, and he continued: "Father, this matter is my negligence and my fault. It is enough for me to bear it. You..."
"I'm old." Mel George looked at him quietly, his eyes swept across the audience, and he saw the faces of juniors. He smiled slightly and said, "When a person is old, he should die. A little thing, you won't kill me, you are all my good children, you have to work harder in the future, you know?"
When he spoke, some people were sobbing.
