Son of the Olden Days

Gray Screen Town, the mayor’s residence.

A subordinate compiled the news that the various forces had brought back from the monastery, and placed it gently on the log square table engraved with an intricately carved road. Until the person behind the table waved his hand slightly, the next person bowed and retired.

Inserting the quill pen into the pen holder, and leaving the wet letter aside, the mayor Elton moved his fingers stiff from writing for a long time, picking up the newly arrived message and quickly scanning it.

Elton has an energetic square face, which is easily reminiscent of a tough guy who fought north and south when he was young. There are not many wrinkles on the face, but a closer look can still reveal that he has entered the end of middle age.

After reading the news quickly, he handed it to the side. The old butler who stood by stepped forward and took it in his hand, and also entered the reading.

The content of the message is not much, or it is very useful. Finally, a few suspicious points are listed at the end.

The first is the dagger that Melissa held when she died. It is a common standard that can be seen everywhere. It is used by thieves, hunters, and farmers, but this dagger doesn't seem to be Melissa's possession.

Secondly, a recently excavated grave was found in the cemetery of the monastery. It is expected that it was originally prepared for Melissa and is large enough to hold her. But in the end it didn't work for some reason, just filled it up in a hurry.

The last is the emblem left on Melissa's chest. At this moment, the emblem has arrived on the table in front of the mayor along with the news.

After picking up the emblem and carefully looking at the patterns on both sides, Elton gently rubbed the surface of the emblem with his fingertips, feeling the coldness of the iron emblem.

"...Oh, pretending to be old?" Elton whispered.

The result of the appraisal of this emblem was that it was a product that was only recently created, and it clearly shows signs of distress.

This is not difficult to understand. For an organization, the emblem is equivalent to an external introduction. Sometimes it also represents the face of the organization or is used to prove its identity. If necessary, it can also convey the will of the organization's approval or warning.

Obviously being old is to gain a sense of weight through time and to elevate the foundation of the organization from a false level.

It's just that this crude method is as ridiculous as a child's mischief in Elton's eyes.

At this time, the old butler on the side finally finished reading, stood back to the side, and waited silently.

This is the tacit understanding between master and servant. Usually, a matter that needs to be dealt with will be based on the will of the mayor Elton, and the old housekeeper will assist in supplementing from the side, checking the gaps, and finally setting the tone for the matter.

But the news in his hand came late, and Elton really had nothing to say for a while.

After the news of Melissa's death came, people from various forces came to show that they would participate in the arrest of the murderer and maintain order in the town.

Elton looked at it amusedly, and did not stop, but agreed one by one.

It was just that before there were any results on the monastery, an organization calling itself the Brotherhood took the initiative to take the matter.

fraternity?

Elton felt that he seemed to have a vague impression, but it was too far away, as vague as a childhood dream.

In fact, as soon as the news of Melissa's death arrived, many things that should be done were already being done.

As the chief of a town, doing nothing is definitely impossible.

A large number of Elton's men were scattered, both light and dark. Only two or three people went to the monastery, and most of them were concentrated on the street, and a total martial law was imposed on the entire town.

After the Brotherhood suddenly jumped out, the direction of action of the mayor's forces changed to focus on paying attention to strange faces in the town and arresting the spreaders of the rumors. Anyone who dared to profess, took advantage of the situation, resisted, or had bad intentions, was killed on the spot.

A large net was thrown out, but unfortunately no fish was caught.

This fraternity seems to have arisen out of thin air, and is invisible, with no trace to be found.

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, everything is still under Elton's control, and the conflict with the Brotherhood has not yet occurred.

This means that if the other party is willing to send someone to come forward, no matter what the intention is, then things have to be discussed.

Once the people below arrest or kill several Brotherhood members, then it may end up with an endless all-out war.

Seeing Elton groaning, there is no topic to discuss. The old butler standing aside put his hands in his sleeves and silently placed some information he had compiled on the table, which was also about the Brotherhood.

Elton tilted his head to pick up the information with some doubts, and quickly read it through.

"...Hey! It's really an ancient organization. Didn't they die with the fanatical apologists at the end of the Ancient Kingdom? This has been for hundreds of thousands of years, how can they still be active now? Come from a barren land like Muzhen? What are they trying to do?"

The mayor Elton said jokingly, anger gradually accumulating in the tiger's eyes.

"The inheritance of those organizations will not be cut off easily. Of course, it is also possible that the people holding the flag now are not descendants of the original Brotherhood members. Anything can happen in the long river of time." The old butler added timely.

The surrounding towns or territories have always been very jealous of foreign forces, because every new force's intervention often means turbulent changes.

A little carelessness is likely to be an old story about changing the flag and changing the flag.

Now, an organization called the Brotherhood has rushed into its territory and cut off one of its money-making arms.

To do things in Gray Screen, they must buy some people in the town to get their own news, and it is even possible that some people have already joined them.

After they knew who they were, they still cut off one of their arms.

Is this a provocation against yourself? Temptation? Or is the fraternity's style of acting consistently tough? Or is there something hidden behind this incident that I don't know?

Later, the Brotherhood said to the outside world that the news of the cleanup of the traitor Melissa came from a bunch of rumors that the source could not be found.

traitor? A very interesting word.

Imagine that the Brotherhood first used the violent poison of the Light of Corruption, and then cut its throat unnecessarily. It seemed a bit like a way to treat a traitor.

To be honest, Elton didn't quite believe in whether Melissa worked for herself while sweating for others.

However, after so many years, the inconvenient judgment has already penetrated into his bones, otherwise he would not be stable in the position of mayor for more than ten years.

And Elton suddenly remembered that Melissa still had an identity that she almost forgot, the nun of the monastery.

What resources can she mobilize? It's nothing more than a group of orphans.

Did she secretly send orphans to the main city?

In fact, this kind of thing did not happen in the early days. For a period of time, lords from various places frequently sent large numbers of orphans to the dark temple. The rhetoric of the temple was to inspire the glory of the Lord God to support the growth of a group of orphans.

Elton wasn't interested in the tricks behind those **** reasons. Theocracy had always been something he hated and wanted to stay away from.

After the battle of the gods in history, it is said that the Dark Council once mobilized a large number of forces to carry out a **** and cold cleansing of the believers in the Temple of Light.

But relying on the power of the Temple of Light that once dominated the mainland, they have firmed up an entire Guangming calendar! Can it be done? It's nothing more than a cover-up joke.

Elton believed that there must be many remnants of the Temple of Light lurking among the people, and maybe even around him.

If Melissa really... Thinking of this, Elton's eyes suddenly became a little sullen. If the truth is so, then you will step on your own bottom line severely.

Who are you? Elton knew it well.

I may be a celebrity in the town or this territory, but once I leave this land, there are not many people who can talk to others. If it were to be placed in those places in the southern main city of Odrensa, Tier 3 swordsman? It's nothing more than a joke.

"Om...oh."

There was a knock on the door, and the servant sent in another piece of news that had just arrived, and Elton's thoughts were also pulled back to what was in front of him.

After quickly reading it and handing it to the butler, Elton frowned and fell into thinking again.

The Brotherhood made another move. Just yesterday, a guy named Zost the Mad Dog from the Swordsmen Guild was sent to see the ancestors.

The news made Elton angry and relieved.

The anger is because the Brotherhood obviously didn't take him as the leader of the town in his eyes. What about the total martial law, you play yours, I play mine.

It was relieved because the mayor Elton smelled something else from the incident.

If the Brotherhood takes out his own people again, then no matter whether Elton himself wants to, he can only end up and accept the debt in person.

But now only a small, insignificant character is dead. It doesn't matter whether it is a mad dog or a dog, and it has no effect on the order of the town.

This makes Elton feel that the Brotherhood does not seem to be aimed at himself, and that they seem to have their own clear purpose.

So now there is only one thing left. Melissa is dead, and things have happened. Now all forces are waiting for their final attitude towards the Brotherhood.

Is it to calm down and watch the changes, or continue to show the muscles as hard as ever.

Elton stretched out his index finger to hover on the table, and then fell down regularly, and the snatching sound quickly echoed in the room. This was his habitual movement when thinking quickly.

After a while, Elton finally stopped thinking and said to the butler standing by:

"About Melissa, send someone to the religious trial office in the new town to report. Here at the monastery, we will re-push a reliable candidate on top. Also, send a letter to the old fellow Savien with a letter crow. Tell me about the fraternity situation, forget it, I will write it myself later."

The old butler was not in a hurry to leave, but waited silently. He knew that those were just regular procedures, and the focus had not yet come.

"As for the Brotherhood,... please withdraw the manpower we sent out first, and then take a look."

After finishing talking, Elton turned his head to look at the housekeeper whose hair had been dyed with hoarfrost. This old man who had followed him for most of his life and had been friends and relatives suddenly felt a little sorrowful.

"We are all old! Since we are old, we must look like old guys. Let's look back together with a leisurely drink."

In the end, Elton seemed to have chosen to compromise, or wait and see, and attributed the cause to old age and time.

But even if Saul saw this scene at this time, he would just laugh it off.

Those who have them are always worried about losing. In the final analysis, perhaps those who have nothing are the most powerful.
