Lucien replied politely but without flinching: "I'm John's friend Lucien. There is an emergency at his house. I'm here to find him."

Ian, with dark-blond hair, snorted coldly: "John and other knight attendants are training with Sir Wayne. I am not sure that you will not interrupt them until you are his friend. You have to prove yourself status, or wait patiently for them to finish."

For John, who has made rapid progress and is highly appreciated by Sir Wayne, Ian looks down on him a hundred times and hates him very much. He thinks that he is just from a poor background and does not understand words, but relies on his cleverness and abides by the pedantic knight code to please Sir Wayne. It's not as good as I am educated and powerful, so Ian couldn't help but make things difficult for Lucien when he heard that it was about John.

Another servant, Drago, also disliked John, watching Ian "teach" Lucien with a smile on his face.

Of course, they will never admit that their dislikes and dislikes are due to jealousy.

After finishing speaking, Ian looked at Lucien sternly. In his mind, a poor man like Lucien, who had never seen the world, was so frightened by his knight servant. To refute, he could only beg himself hard, and when he begged enough, he would send someone to find John, and nothing serious would happen.

It's a pity that Lucien has experienced far more things than Ian, even beyond his imagination. At this time, instead of spinning around in a hurry, or begging on his knees, he said with a serious and dignified expression: "John's friend is in an emergency. , life is in danger, if it is because he is slow to go back, causing irreversible results, your blocking is the main reason, and this is an act that seriously violates the spirit of knights' compassion. I believe Sir Wayne will be very angry if he knows it, and the consequences will be very serious. serious."

From John's mouth, Lucien knew that Sir Wayne is a nobleman who strictly abides by the way of chivalry. If it is really like what Lucien described, Ian and Dorag will definitely be expelled, and the expelled attendants, His reputation will be completely ruined, and unless there are other opportunities, he will no longer be accepted as a servant by other knights.

As for John's friend who was in a hurry, of course it was Lucien himself. For him who didn't follow the way of chivalry, he didn't care about small white lies at all, and, strictly speaking, it wasn't a lie, at best it was unclear .

"You dare to threaten me?!" Ian was furious. He didn't expect to be warned so calmly and coldly by a lowly poor man. He wished he could draw out his knight's long sword and cut him down.

As a high-ranking knight attendant, the angry Ian took a step forward, exuding a dangerous aura. This was a complete explosion of the oppressive force that Lucien had felt on Gary, and the soldiers behind him couldn't help but fight. Shivering, he took half a step back, and Drago, who was thinking of taking a step forward, stayed where he was, feeling impressed by Yin En's strength.

No matter the soldiers, Drago, or even Ian, they can already imagine Lucien's reaction to the full oppression of the high-ranking knight servants, that is, trembling with fright, begging for mercy in a vague voice, and possibly even being beaten. I was so scared that I wet my pants.

But what Ian, Drago and the soldiers couldn't believe was that Lucien was still so serious and calm, and asked: "Do you want to violate the knight's code now and kill the innocent and weak?"

He seemed not to be oppressed by Ian at all, and Ian and Dorag faintly felt that the poor young man in front of him seemed to have a will as tough as a mountain.

"Do I need to repeat what I just said? Do you really want to be expelled by Sir Wayne?" Lucien took a step forward and spoke sternly again.

Ian wished that he was the kind of villain who didn't care about his life and future. He could draw his sword and kill Lucien now, but he still wanted to be a knight, a nobleman, and have his own manor. It's definitely not his real idea to abandon these in a quarrel.

As for the choice of framing after murder, with John and many farmers in the wheat fields outside, Ian couldn't do it at all. At this time, if he didn't lose face, he would have given in.

Seeing that Ian's momentum had weakened, Drago understood his thoughts, glared at Lucien angrily, and pulled Ian back: "John is our companion. Since his friend's life is in danger, we don't have to fight with him." You uneducated poor entanglement, hurry and tell John."

"Okay, if it wasn't about John, I would definitely teach you how to be polite." Ian walked down the steps and said to Lucien, completely regardless of John being the knight squire he hated the most and wished he could die sooner.

Then, because he didn't want to see Lucien's hateful face, Ian entered the manor by himself and reported to Sir Wayne.

Drago stood there with a cold face, not saying a word to Lucien.

Lucien didn't care about this at all, and stood quietly waiting. Ian's oppressive aura just now had little effect before Lucien's soul was injured, but after his soul was injured, it could shake his spirit. Fortunately, Lucien already has the "Ice and Snow Avenger". Just by touching his fingers in his pocket, his will has reached the level of a first-class knight, which is much stronger than before. Ian's aura is oppressive. It's like a breeze blowing by, without any effect.

Less than five minutes later, John strode out, leaving Ian far behind, and when he saw clearly that it was Lucien, he couldn't help being surprised and said, "It's you, Lucien! Who came out?" thing?"

Lucien pointed to the road: "It's urgent, talk while walking."

Jogging side by side for a certain distance, under John's puzzled eyes, Lucien said the lines he had thought up a long time ago: "I often meet a beggar these days, and he always condemns nobles and knights for no reason. , He also dragged me to a hidden corner yesterday and said some blasphemous words, it turns out that he is a follower of the devil and secretly preaching in Alto."

"Originally, I wanted to go directly to the church to report him, but then I accidentally saw him in mysterious contact with Jackson of the Aaron gang. I was worried that there was another plot that would endanger Uncle Joel and Aunt Alisa, so Come to you directly, if you report through Sir Wayne, the church should take it more seriously."

As a young man who abides by the code of chivalry, John has no doubts about his good friend and trusts him very much: "Those scoundrels from Aaron's gang actually have contact with the believers of the devil. Damn it, I'll report it to Sir Wayne immediately."

"Wait a minute, John, I think the matter may be more serious than you imagined. There are only a dozen beggars in the city of Alto, where are the rest?" Lucien used what he knew in another One way to say it.

Hearing that so many people were missing, John was even more dignified. However, he did not panic because of the rewards of strictly adhering to the chivalry and rules. Instead, he remained quite calm: "The devil's believers must use those poor people as blood sacrifices." Yes, um, the matter is very serious, and Sir Wayne must be told immediately."

Lucien nodded, and reminded again: "John, you must not tell Sir Wayne that I discovered it. I am worried that if the devil believers are not completely wiped out, they will come to revenge on me after they know the truth. , I’m just a pauper, I’m afraid I don’t have knights to protect me day and night.”

"Okay. Unfortunately, if you can really eliminate the devil believers, Lucien will definitely get a lot of rewards." John understands Lucien's concerns. Maybe there will be knight attendants who will destroy the devil believers, and even among the knights. Those who are tempted by the devil, if they don't want to be known by others, then limit the people who know to themselves. He just felt a little sorry for Lucien.

Lucien smiled and patted John's shoulder: "You have to ask Sir Wayne to keep it a secret for you. Uncle Joel, Aunt Alisa, and Ivan are all ordinary people. Anyway, your reward can be obtained from Wei Sir En."

If it weren't for this method, Lucien wouldn't even believe Sir Wayne, relying on himself, a guy who only knows a few apprentice-level magic, to go to the church to report, maybe even himself will be arrested, although he can find someone else Going instead of myself, such as ignorant children, etc., but firstly, it is not easy to attract attention, and secondly, the impression of such a mysterious figure is left in the hearts of church pastors and bishops, and there may be big troubles in the future.

At least, if even Sir Wayne, who is about sixty years old, in good health, has a happy family, strictly believes in chivalry, and is an adviser to the Grand Duke, is tempted by evil gods or devils, then Alto may have become a knight. It is a paradise for evil gods and devils.

"Yes, I will. It's still Lucien that you think carefully. At that time, if Sir Wayne's reward can be shared, I will share it with you." John nodded cautiously, and he was not afraid of sacrificing for justice. , but if it hurts family and friends, let him worry.

Lucien said with a smile: "If Sir Wayne is willing to keep the secret for you, then he will definitely find other reasons for the reward, definitely not money, etc. John, you should keep it for yourself, we are good friends, why bother about these? And , I'm still eating and drinking at your house."

At Lucien's request, John waited for another ten minutes to give the people in the manor the impression that the matter was settled nearby before returning to the manor.

Lucien, on the other hand, hid behind the trees on the side of the road and waited quietly. Six minutes later, eight strange black horses with scales on their bodies galloped by. One of them was John who put on silver-gray chain mail and carried a long sword and shield. The other five were also attendants, and the other was a young man in a white robe. He should be from the chapel of Sir Wayne Manor. presiding pastor.

Seeing them go away, Lucien heaved a long sigh of relief and returned to Alto.

When he entered Alto and walked towards the administrative area, Lucien faintly felt the ground shaking. It seemed that the church and the knights had discovered something in the sewer.

"Whether they can wipe out the cult or not, it will be safe for at least two or three months, but the sewer seems to have to wait for a while before it goes down. I will focus on analyzing magic first."

A few minutes before 8:30, Lucien finally arrived at the gate of the Musicians Association.
