"Uncle Joel, Aunt Alisa, and Ivan, are they all right? Are they rescued?" Lucien didn't suppress his emotions, and asked hurriedly and with concern.
And this kind of behavior is the most normal behavior of an ordinary person after hearing Natasha's words!
Although Lucien had already killed Jason and the knight attendants who were guarding the prison, making the Silver Horn lose the ability to execute hostages, he did not dare to rescue the hostages directly, so as not to expose his true purpose, so after leaving the ruins, he kept on He was worried, fearing that Joel's family would be affected by other people's battles and die, so his emotions were sincere and appropriate at this time, and no one would doubt him.
Natasha was a little embarrassed. She likes to charge forward. She didn't care about the identity and safety of the princess and countess. She followed Camille directly in the Black Forest to find the conspirators, and then rushed in with Camille for the first time. Underground ruins, fighting and chasing the cultists, and the rescue of the hostages was only handed over to another knight who followed. Fortunately, the ending was not too bad: "When I returned, I confirmed that all the hostages, including your uncle's family, were safe." We were rescued. We had a sudden encounter and the cult retreated so hastily that we didn't have time to harm them."
"In this way, I can rest assured." Lucien showed a tired but satisfied and happy smile. This rescue operation was a tightrope walk. A slight mistake in every link was the result of burning the stake or being sacrificed. To be able to succeed, in addition to the advantages brought about by information asymmetry, there is also a lot of luck. I just hope that I will not encounter such difficult and high-risk things in the future. "What about Uncle Joel?"
Camille replied for Natasha: "Their bodies and minds have been severely traumatized, and they are receiving church treatment and inquiries."
"Don't worry, Lucien, they are victims. The church just wants to ask something about the guards of the 'Silver Horn', hehe, Aunt Camille, the sword that you raided the high priest of the 'Silver Horn' actually caused damage in the ground. With such a big echo, these weak poor people almost fainted, I don’t know when I will be able to become a sky knight.” Natasha added.
Thanks to Lucien's grasp of the timing, there was only a two or three second gap between the sound of Camille's avatar slapping the ground and "Hormanz's choking cough", which belonged to the echo of the same sound in the ears of the hostages in the sealed cell.
Lucien asked strangely: "What is the Silver Horn?"
"It's the group of villains who kidnapped your uncle's family and threatened you. They are followers of the devil and they call themselves the Silver Horn. You have to be careful of them in the future." Natasha explained: "Their hearts have been completely deceived by the devil. In the hunt, as soon as they are found, they will immediately shout "return to eternal silence" and explode themselves, without giving us a chance to capture them alive."
Speaking of this, Natasha still has a little heart palpitations. Although she benefited from the mixture of the two best bloodlines and her own genius, she is only one step away from the Sky Knight in her twenties, and she has a lot of combat experience, but she After all, she is a noble princess, and she has never encountered too much danger or such a cruel and shocking thing.
It was precisely because of this emotional influence that she spoke so many words with Lucien to relieve her depression.
"Didn't you catch those bastards?" Lucien asked with concern and hatred, feeling that his acting skills were very good.
Natasha raised her head slightly, her depressed emotions dissipated, and she became proud: "I caught a priest of the Silver Horn, and through some means, I learned part of their purpose. There is a seal in the depths of the underground ruins. The right hand of an evil and powerful person, unfortunately they have already taken it away."
Among the chasing people, Camille, Amorton and Gossett let the two high priests "escape". They blew themselves up, and only Natasha captured one alive with her strong strength, which made her feel a little proud.
Lucien raised his heart: "Don't you know other purposes? Why do they want to inquire about your information, Your Highness the Princess?"
"The priest didn't know. They all acted according to the order. It seems that only the high priest knows. It seems to be a big conspiracy." Natasha stroked her chin.
Camille added coldly: "After the hunt, the church has notified the remaining bishops, pastors, and night watchmen to arrest all the people with problems in the intelligence department. I believe we can learn something from them."
"Then what about the kidnapper who followed me?" Lucien asked knowingly.
Natasha pointed to the outside: "Maybe he was warned by the 'Silver Horn' and escaped ahead of time. Alright, Lucien, I just stopped by to say thank you, 'Silver Horn' The strength has exceeded expectations, and if their plot is not destroyed in time, I am afraid it will cause irreparable losses. Hehe, when you told me, I only half believed it in my heart, but after investigation, I completely believed it."
"This is my honor." Lucien replied politely.
At this time, Camille's expression suddenly froze, and after nearly a minute, he said to Natasha with a serious face: "All the intelligence personnel who went wrong pointed the clues to Viscount Stuart, and Stuart The viscount committed suicide before the bishop and several earls rushed over."
Things changed a lot, Camille didn't pay attention to Lucien next to him, and directly reported to Natasha.
Viscount Stuart is the head of the Principality's intelligence department, a quasi-sky knight.
Natasha subconsciously waved her right hand to the side, and the armor arm made a crisp and pleasant sound of metal collisions, then she squinted her eyes and said with a lazy smile and a dangerous momentum: "Maybe there is someone behind Viscount Stuart. Who is the real mastermind behind the scenes? What is his purpose, and why did he risk being 'cleaned up' by the church to collude with the devil?"
After she finished speaking, she remembered that this was the guest room where Lucien lived, so she put on the armor gloves that shone with milky white metal cold light, and waved to Lucien: "Things are more troublesome than imagined, I have to go back to Lata Xiagong deal with it. I will tell the church about your mobilization of blood power according to the previous agreement."
After a pause, Natasha said with a little apology: "But you are only a quasi-knight. According to the law, it is difficult for me to canonize you as a full-fledged knight and grant you a title, and if the matter is spread, others may just be jealous, but The remnants of the 'Silver Horn' will surely guess that you are the informer, and they will retaliate wildly."
"This will put you in great danger, and the personnel of the Principality's intelligence department and the night watchman of the church have suffered serious losses this time, and I am afraid that they will not be able to provide you with reliable protection in a short time."
"After a few months, after the impact of this matter has faded, I will give you a manor on the pretext of other things."
"Your Highness, this is too expensive..." Lucien subconsciously refused, because in his heart, Alto was not a place for him to settle down and build a home. In comparison, it was better to give money or material rewards.
Natasha waved her hand and said seriously: "As the head of the Violet family, as an earl, I have never been a stingy person. As long as my 'knights' make contributions and have credit, I will definitely give Rewards and encouragements of equal value. Fair rewards and punishments are the cornerstone of the Violet family's continuation for more than a thousand years, Lucien, you can't let me lose this good virtue."
"Besides, if you hadn't obtained the information in advance this time, I'm afraid it would be difficult for the Silver Horn to suffer such a serious setback. Hehe, although your information is far away, it is still good to catch up. Lucien, how did you judge the location? of?"
Lucien knew that he would ask this question sooner or later, so he quickly told the reason he had thought of long ago, that is, he saw a small species called "Silver-throated Turtle Dove" flying outside the forest ranger's hut from the "Sphere of Vision". Most people who have gone to the Black Forest of Melzer to pick up mushrooms know that this kind of bird is most often seen in the forest near the remaining range of the "Kabeko" peak. Of course, seeing the "Silver-throated Turtle Dove "It doesn't mean the rest of the "Kabike" mountain, it is also possible in other places, such as this time.
Natasha nodded, put on the helmet but didn't pull down the mask, and she looked even more heroic: "Let's just talk about it. After a few months, I will find an excuse to give you a manor. As for the excuse Well, Lucien, hurry up and compose a piece of music that I like."
"Thank you for your generous reward, Your Royal Highness." Lucien had no choice but to thank him.
Natasha took a step forward, stepped out of the window sill, and was suspended in mid-air. Although she was not a sky knight, the "Blood Dragon Armor" had the ability to fly.
Before flying away with Camille, Natasha suddenly turned her head: "As a quasi-knight, Lucien, how can you not have a knight's long sword? Well, I will give you one."
"Hey, in fact, it is difficult for you to advance on the road of knighthood. Music is the direction you need to work hard. Lucien, you must not be confused. A young and handsome musician is very popular with girls. Yes, even if you don't pursue it, someone will take the initiative."
"Ha, the silver moon is dreamy and beautiful tonight. Lucien, are you interested in taking a walk and enjoying the moon together?"
"..." Lucien watched her figure fly into the darkness with Camille, and felt that this guy really hurt his friend.
After confirming that Joel's family was safe and the possibility of being suspected was very small, Lucien finally relaxed completely, and the deep exhaustion from the depths of his soul could no longer be suppressed.
"The most important thing is to find out the location of the headquarters of the Magic Council from Mr. Rhine as soon as possible. When I am able to leave Alto, I will quickly find an excuse to go out. A city with a powerful church is too dangerous." Lucien took The joy of solving things, thinking about tomorrow's things before falling into a deep sleep.
