Mystery: The Lamp God’s Path To Freedom

"What did they use to tempt you to join?" the reasoning student asked again.

"Help me inherit the title of baron."

None of the three substitutes immediately asked new questions. They roughly deduced the origin of the dagger and the possible course of the incident.

But there is still a doubt. This kind of behavior of using evil items to directly influence and kill nobles will definitely attract the attention and investigation of the church. This is completely unable to achieve their intended purpose. The plan they formulated before was to control the son and indirectly influence the father. It is reasonable and feasible.

The reasoning student thought for a while, then took out the blood-stained dagger that was temporarily isolated by the spiritual wall, and asked, "Have you seen this dagger before today?"

Arndt looked at it carefully for a while, but his tone was still hoarse and low.

"Yes, it belongs to a member of that organization."

"Do you know that person?"

"Yes, her name is Lidocia."

Arndt almost couldn't control his emotions, and he seemed to be crying. He tried his best to restrain himself, and his expression became more sad.

"She was sent by their organization to contact me. If I didn't do what they asked, no one from that organization would come looking for me again."

"In other words, they paid you in advance now, so they should come to you again to ask for benefits." The punishers of the sailor path rushed to express their opinions.

The reasoning student tugged him again, and signaled with his eyes, if you can't speak, don't speak.

The Punishers asked some more about the Baron and the Aurora Order, and Arndt answered them all truthfully.

Then the three substitutes reported the investigation results of the case. The reasoning student focused on the situation of the second son of Baron Castell, and said that according to his own observation, the second son did not lie, but mentioned his father and Brother, he was very sad on the surface, but judging from the tiny details, there is a high probability that he is faking it.

"Hmph, nobles, synonymous with coldness and ruthlessness... the others are dead, so he will inherit the title smoothly." The other punisher sneered and said nonchalantly.

In the end, the Punishers gave the conclusion of the case: Baron Castell and his eldest son died of cannibalism under the influence of Extraordinary items. Since the source of the Extraordinary item is related to the Aurora Society, the second son of Baron Casteli may need to be monitored and investigated in the future.

It was announced that Baron Castell and his eldest son were assassinated by the terrorist organization Aurora Society.

...

In a dimly lit room.

Opposite Viscount Stratford stood a woman in a plain white robe.

She stood at the window, facing Viscount Stratford, raised her chin slightly, and looked out the window.

From the direction of Viscount Stratford, one can see her delicate side face, small ears, slender white neck, and even though she is covered with a large robe, her figure is even more seductive with bumps. The skirt opening on the side of the robe was very high, and the shapely smooth and delicate white legs were looming.

Viscount Stratford tried his best to control his emotions, and asked in a deep voice:

"What do you mean by the witch sect about the deal we talked about?"

The woman by the window first laughed softly, the laughter was like a beautiful song, clear and beautiful.

"We agreed to this deal, and we have already written the script and arranged the actors. The heroine has already arrived in Backlund. Now, only one suitable male lead is missing, and the drama can be staged."

The voice seemed to have magical powers, stirring Viscount Stratford's mind. He had no choice but to try his best to calm down his turbulent mood before continuing to speak for a while.

"His Royal Highness Prince Edessaac Augustus will cooperate with you as the sincerity of the royal family. You can send someone to contact him in an appropriate way."

"Okay, since the actors are all in place, let's start this grand performance."

At this time, the woman in the white robe suddenly turned around, faced Viscount Stratford, and continued with a smile: "So, when will we get paid?"

"After really seeing the effect."

After a brief silence, Viscount Stratford asked again: "Can you tell me about your plan?"

"Hehe, it starts with a very old-fashioned love story. A prince falls in love with a commoner woman, and he will marry her as his concubine desperately."

The white-robed woman paused for a moment, seeming to find this story very interesting.

"At the end of the story, the prince found out that the woman he loved turned out to be a witch, and contacting him was just to take advantage of him. The prince repented and committed suicide because of the mistakes he made. How is it, not bad?"

"In order to make this story more interesting, we may also invite other actors to join. In short, when the story is finished, no one will pay attention to what you are doing."

"That's what you want, right?"

Viscount Stratford turned his head slightly, not looking directly into the woman's eyes.

"How do you ensure that the plot will proceed as you expected?"

The woman in white robe showed a meaningful smile.

"We've got a pretty good idea."

Viscount Stratford nodded.

"Well, when the time comes, you can get back what you want."

...

The Punisher's investigation of the new Baron Castei was superficial and not in-depth. With no changes in the Aurora Society, long-term monitoring was unrealistic. They quickly withdrew their spying power.

Arndt quickly inherited the title and became the new Baron of Casdeil. Then, with the assistance of the butler, he counted and took over all the family properties.

This includes some land, estates, certain companies and shares in small banks.

Arndt, who also took over part of his father's personal connections, personal bodyguards and other forces, immediately investigated his father's whereabouts and order arrangements some time ago.

After summarizing all the feedback, he realized that he might have misunderstood his father, and Lidocia's disappearance had nothing to do with his father.

The words of the hateful woman who threatened to get rid of, seduce her son, and turn her well-behaved son into a rebellious and disobedient woman were just verbal threats from an angry old noble father.

But Arndt has no regrets, his heart has already fallen into the abyss.

Father didn't send anyone to kill Lidocia this time. According to his stubborn and arrogant character, if he didn't give up Lidocia and obeyed his arrangement, he would realize his declaration sooner or later.

As for the elder brother, that damned, selfish, arrogant, hypocritical, obnoxious person like his father, occupying family resources, always pretending to be an excellent heir of the family, as if the title of baron is already in his pocket . The way he accuses his younger brother arrogantly in front of his father is really disgusting.

But he didn't want to let go of the person who actually kidnapped Lidocia.

With regard to the Aurora Society's behavior style obtained from insinuations from the Punisher, he preliminarily concluded that it might be that the Aurora Society had arrested Lidocia because she refused to do things according to their arrangement.

He didn't know Lidocia's current situation, but his intuition told her that Lidocia might be dead.

No matter what the situation is, he is full of hatred for the Aurora Society, and he wants to take revenge on the Aurora Society!

Through the various channels for obtaining potion formulas and extraordinary materials that Lidocia told him, he decided to become an Extraordinary as soon as possible and gain the power to avenge the Aurora Order.

And Arndt was in the Crown Cemetery at this time.

The coffins of the father and brother had been requiemed and then buried. During this process, he kept his face solemn and sad.

Relatives and friends of the father or elder brother came to express their condolences, and they presented white flowers. Some people just stared at the tombstone silently for a while and then left, and some people came in groups. Sigh a few words.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a black formal suit came to the tombstone. He had gray-blue eyes and high cheekbones. He had an ordinary appearance and no special features.

It was the principal shareholder of a small bank, with the Baron de Castei as the secondary shareholder.

Like other mourners, he put flowers in front of the tomb, and let it lie quietly on the ground with other similar people. He bowed again and prepared to leave.

Just as he turned around, his eyes swept across the young and new Baron Castell who was also standing near the grave.

His expression and figure paused at the same time, and then returned to normal. When he turned to leave, he lowered his head, curled the corners of his lips imperceptibly, and said to himself silently:

"What a perfect soul!"
