Aalto's Golden Cathedral.

"What? You asked for the execution of the night watchman captain 'Joker'?" Although Cardinal Gosser had expected Natasha's angry reaction after checking Lucien's physical condition, he did not expect Natasha at all. It's going to be so aggressive, it's going to be so tough.

Natasha's silver-purple eyes were crystal clear, like a dream, and her tone was very serious: "Yes, the clown must be executed."

As a cardinal, Gosse was able to maintain a warm and loving expression, and he said kindly, "Your Highness, Mr. Evans is fine, he is not dead, paralyzed, or disabled, why do you want to chase after him? And it may not be done by the clown, Mr. Evans may have misjudged the person at the time, and it is very likely that the cult members of the Silver Horn pretended to be."

"Bishop Goser, if you think that Lucien has admitted the wrong person, let the clown stand up and accept his identification and questioning, and at the same time use the magic lie detector, I think this should be able to figure everything out." Natasha The imposing manner caused a great sense of oppression to Gosai, after all, everyone is high-level.

Faced with Natasha's proposal, Gosser was silent for a short time, because both he and the person in charge of the court had reason to believe that the clown did it. If the clown was found to be lying under the watchful eyes of the nobles, the clown did not follow the normal rules. If the rules are used to hurt a high-class figure, the prestige of the church will suffer a lot.

After a while, Gosser continued to use his kind voice: "Okay, let's assume that the clown did it. But why did he do it? Obviously, Mr. Evans may have something to do with the 'Professor' in the purification sequence. In order to prevent the evil from invading the Principality of Violet, Alto and the nobles, the clown will take risks."

"But is there any evidence? Is there any real evidence?" Natasha stepped forward, her eyes full of majesty, "Bishop Gosai, this is not the end of the Dawn War, and it is not the night watch. People suspect who is a magician, and who is related to a magician?" relationship, they can be arrested and interrogated slowly or directly tested and inspected simply by suspicion. Today, Lucien Evans can be almost killed because of imaginary evil, so can he be killed tomorrow because of the same suspicion? What about directly killing a certain noble?"

"I don't think any noble is willing to live in such a panic environment, and he is not willing to worry about whether a night watchman from the church will suddenly break into his house and arrest or kill him with no evidence! "

"The powerful knights may not be worried about themselves, but they are also afraid that similar things will happen to their wives and children!"

After a few harsh and aggressive words, Natasha's voice became louder: "Bishop Gosser, on behalf of all the nobles of the Principality of Viorit, I request the execution of the clown, to deter all night watchmen who dare to violate the agreement between the church and the nobles! "

It would have been fine if it had been hundreds of years ago, and there would be no need to listen to Natasha's "unreasonable" request, Bishop Gosser thought helplessly, but the confrontation between the North and South Churches and the rise of the Magic Council, let itself represent a powerful force The status of the nobles in the country has improved rapidly, and when they are united, they can already compete against the church on certain issues and influence the church's decisions, and this matter does violate the bottom line of the nobles a bit.

"Your Royal Highness, you are a pious nobleman, and you have handled it well before. Besides, Mr. Evans is fine. Even if the clown is guilty, he is not yet at the point where he needs to be executed." Gosse's tone softened, and he tried to use Natasha first. Her pious belief weakens her strong position, and then throws out a low-key, mutually acceptable solution, "It is better to let the inner court of the Inquisition try the clown and give him the punishment he deserves."

Natasha drew a cross on her chest: "Only the truth lasts forever."

Then she solemnly said: "I am a devout believer, so I don't want to see a crazy guy like the clown in the Night Watch destroy the relationship between the church and the nobles."

After finishing speaking, she looked directly at Gosse, and passed on her strong will:

"If the clown is not dead, all the nobles can't feel at ease!"

Gosse was silent for a while and said, "Your Highness, I will pass your request on to the Cardinal and Bishop Amorton. After all, I am not in charge of the tribunal, and they can only make the decision."

Natasha nodded: "I believe His Excellency the Cardinal and Bishop Amorton understand the seriousness of this matter, and I am waiting for the final result."

…………

In an ordinary villa in Aalto.

The clown is looking carefully at the collected information, trying to find clues from it, confirming that Lucien Evans has a great relationship with the professor.

Suddenly, the door was slammed open, and the battle priest Juliana walked in panicked and anxiously: "Captain, hurry up, run away!"

"Juliana, what happened? Calm down." The clown raised his head and looked at Juliana with that funny smile.

Juliana took two deep breaths: ‘Captain, the referee has decided to execute you, you should run away! "

"What?! How is this possible?!" Even a fifth-level great knight with amazing will, the clown couldn't help asking back in surprise, as if he felt abandoned by the whole world. I have worked so hard to fight against evil and eliminate darkness for the sake of the Lord, the Church, and the Tribunal, but will be sentenced to death by the Tribunal? !

Juliana didn't know whether this secret hiding place had been exposed, so she could only make a long story short: "Captain, at the 'Return Concert' that ended an hour ago, Lucien Evans fell seriously ill in the middle of the stage, and was taken by Bishop Gosse The adults confirmed that the disease was caused by the unhealed injury, so Natasha was very angry and stopped compromising. With the backing of the entire noble class, she demanded that the church execute you. However, according to the news that Captain Lund ventured to disclose, the church has already backed down. I am going to arrest you secretly, and then execute you secretly, in exchange for the satisfaction of the nobles and not to publicize it."

"Execute me...execute me?" The clown murmured unacceptably, his voice was full of frustration, despair and bewilderment, in stark contrast to his exaggerated smiling face.

Juliana thought he didn't believe him, so she quickly explained: "Captain Lund had a bad relationship with us before the Melzer Black Forest incident, and he was very estranged from us afterwards, so the adults in the referee summoned night watchmen He was selected when collecting information and arresting you. After he accepted the mission, he immediately risked revealing it to me, and asked me to inform you to escape, leave Alto, hide in another place for a while, and then come back with a different identity. Several adults in the referee There are many people who sympathize with you!"

The clown stopped talking in a low voice, and stood there as if he had lost his soul. Just when Juliana wanted to urge him again, he suddenly laughed:

"Hahahahahaha!"

The laughter was full of madness.

"Captain, are you okay?" Juliana asked worriedly.

The laughter stopped abruptly, and the clown said in an unusually calm tone: "I'm fine, I just find it very funny. A musician who has a close relationship with evil magicians, and a princess who has a deep relationship with the Magic Council, can actually force The church executed his most devout and loyal dark guards. Is this the church of the magicians or the church of the Lord? How could Lord Sard, Lord Amorton, and Lord Gosse connive and allow such things to happen? "

"Captain, don't care what those big men think, I believe in you, Minsk believes in you, Captain Lund believes in you, many night watchmen believe in you, and two of the three adults in the referee sympathize with you! I believe that the light will eventually win Darkness, holiness can definitely defeat evil!" Juliana said a little excitedly, as if she was also stimulated.

The clown shook his head: "Julianna, you don't have to worry about my losing control of my emotions. How can I control the fifth-level bloodline without extraordinary will? I will hide well, find evidence, and point out the way in front of everyone. Sean Evans, return to the referee in an open and aboveboard manner. Hehe, it would be the best if you could kill Lucien Evans in front of Natasha with your own hands, and let her watch helplessly but be unable to recover."

"Captain, don't be reckless. At this time, Lucien Evans must be surrounded by many protections and ambushes. Maybe they want to lure you to go and kill you!" Julianna hastily reminded.

Although she knew that it was not difficult to control her emotions with the clown's will and would not make stupid mistakes, but she also understood that the blood of the dark nature contained more or less crazy factors.

The clown's funny smile turned to the window, and said with a sneer: "I know. Because others don't know how much Lucien Evans was injured in the first place, don't I understand? I don't have time to fight hard, with his knight self Healing ability, even without medicine, can be fully recovered in two or three days at most, and it is impossible to get rid of it for a long time and become a serious disease. He simply took the opportunity to force Natasha to put pressure on the church. Such a character How could it be possible not to prevent me from avenging him after escaping from the hunt?"

"I will investigate carefully, this time I must catch his tail!" The eyes on the clown's comically exaggerated mask were cold and cold.

…………

Inside the villa.

"Lucien, are you really sure that the clown will be deliberately let go?" Natasha was a little puzzled, and then joked humorously: "Don't tell me you used a crystal ball to divination?"

Lucien looked at her pretending to be surprised: "Hey, how do you know?"

Then Lucien laughed and said: "Actually, it's just a simple reasoning. Natasha, your stance is too strong and your demands are too excessive. Both the cardinal and the head of the referee will inevitably sympathize with the clown, so you deliberately passed the news It is quite normal to let him escape. And judging from the matter of the code-bearer Salvador and the number of night watchmen who survived the Black Forest of Melzer you confirmed, there are many people in the court who hate the professor as much as the clown , they are likely to have a close connection with the Joker."

The tough position and requirements were discussed by the two before.

"It turned out to be so. But it's just a psychological reasoning, not supported by actual evidence, and the cardinal and the referee are very serious about similar matters, so there is a high possibility that the clown will be executed for real, making your plan difficult to carry out Go on." Although Natasha admires the clown's determination and actions to fight against evil, she absolutely cannot bear to hurt her friends. In this regard, she has never been soft or hesitant. She is very clear about which side she should stand on, and she will not do it. Necessary kindness and kindness.

Lucien said with a smile: "Even if they are executed, there are still so many night watchmen who are aroused with anger and sympathy. They will definitely not let the professor go."

Moreover, "he" should not let go of such an opportunity, if "he" finds out something, Lucien thought silently in his heart. This is the important purpose he temporarily added after the clown made a probe and the basis of all the reasoning just now.

"I hope so." Natasha smiled. "The information on that person has been given to you. I'm here to cover it up for you. Go and return quickly."

…………

Viscount Klein, the consul of Alto City Hall, an old man in his fifties who has not stimulated the power of his bloodline, but is still full of energy. His black hair is neatly combed, and his pair of green eyes are as deep as a lake. majesty.

After listening to Lucien Evans' concert in the Psalm Hall, he returned home with excitement and couldn't fall asleep for a long time, so he had to read the books he had collected in the living room.

As time passed and the night gradually became quieter, Klein put down the quaint book in his hand and prepared to enter the bedroom to sleep peacefully.

When he took off his coat, changed into pajamas, and was habitually arranging his clothes in front of the full-length mirror, he suddenly saw a mysterious man with a black hood reflected in the mirror. He seemed to be on the other side of the mirror, speaking hoarsely voice said:

"Hello, Mr. Sage, long time no see."

"Professor?" Klein blurted out in astonishment, and then subconsciously activated the mage armor. It seems that he has finally become an official mage in the past few years.

He was the original magic apprentice sage. Because of his close relationship with White Honey (Sylvia) and her father, Natasha had the information and information, but he never blamed or exposed him.

Klein turned his head cautiously, only to find that there was no one behind him, but the mysterious man in the black robe was still reflected in the mirror.

Four-ring magic, reflection in the mirror? !
