"Crack, click, click...!" The rhythmic sound of shovels shoveling away soil came from outside the door.
Aviya raised her eyelids and climbed out of bed with a little sleepiness from sleeping for too long. Her tattered clothes had been changed into a clean nightgown.
I looked around and saw that it was no longer the small basement with dim lights. Bright skylight poured in from the curtained windows.
Looking around, I saw a wooden house that was not too small, and the objects placed around it were neatly placed. It was not the mansion that had almost completely turned into ruins, but it should be a small wooden house where the servants lived in the manor.
But at this time, this place turned into the best accommodation in the manor. After getting out of bed and putting on the shoes placed beside the bed, Aviya walked to the window and opened the curtain to look out.
The sudden intrusion of sunlight stung my eyes, which were used to the dim light, and my eyes went white for a moment. When my vision returned, the scenery outside came into my eyes.
The sun was shining brightly, but the air was not fresh. The faint smell of blood permeated the manor, which had experienced countless killings and battles.
There was still a lot of blood on the ground. It had been raining heavily for a long time, but some of the blood stains had penetrated into the cracks in the rocks and were completely difficult to remove.
A figure in the distance is holding a shovel in one hand, shoveling away the soil one after another, digging pits, surrounded by piles of corpses and shoveled soil.
"Crack!" He shoveled up a shovelful of soil again, and dug a hole that was too large to bury a person. He pulled out a mercenary corpse that was swollen by the heavy rain and kicked it out. Into the pit.
The pit was too small, and the upper body was still exposed. I pushed my head twice hard, and with a few cracking sounds of bones exploding, I successfully buried the body in it.
The upper body was naked, and there were bandages everywhere. His left hand was immobilized and could not be used. Only his right hand was holding a shovel, digging and burying the body. This injury was indeed that of Wang Yu.
He added two shovels of soil and buried the trampled body into a ball.
Aviya walked out of the wooden house and trotted towards Wang Yu. In fact, the girl did not suffer much physical damage, but more mental wear and tear. After a good rest, she was almost healed.
"Hey, Aviya, are you awake?" Wang Yu just turned around to dig another hole, saw Aviya running over, and said hello in a pleasant tone.
"Well, wake up! Why did you wake up earlier than me when you were so seriously injured?"
With a somewhat complaining tone, he obviously thought that this guy's voice usually wakes him up. This time it was his turn, but he didn't expect to be woken up by Wang Yu...
Halfway through her words, she suddenly felt that it was not a good idea to say this. How could she expect someone to be so injured that she would not be able to get up again? The girl's face turned red all of a sudden, and she hesitated and didn't know what to say.
"Physique, this is the difference in physique. My physique is better than yours, so I can wake up early even if I am seriously injured." Wang Yu smiled and patted the girl's shoulder.
"So we still need to exercise more..." Wang Yu said earnestly, pointing to his muscles.
He was quite serious, although in fact this was because his mental power would not affect his state, and the girl needed to recover from the damage caused by mental exhaustion.
"Ah...oh." Is this still the answer? The girl scratched her head and looked a little silly.
"Wang Yu, are you in a good mood?" The girl asked after noticing that Wang Yu was in a good mood.
"Yeah, although the job of burying corpses is quite boring, it's still good to make extra money. Look at this."
Wang Yu was indeed in a good mood. He first touched the corpse of the next mercenary twice, his eyes lit up, and he took out something.
Wang Yu took a look, his eyes lit up, and he showed it to Aviya. It was a gold pendant that could be opened.
Inside was a photo of a family of four. Wang Yu dismantled the small photo and threw it into a pit without looking at it.
Otherwise, do you still want to express your views on life and death? He is not so free.
After throwing away the photo, Wang Yu hummed a tune and threw the gold pendant into a small cloth bag hanging on his waistband, making a crisp metal collision sound.
Aviya walked over and took a look. There were everything from gold to silver, and she even saw a lot of sparkling gems. No wonder Wang Yu was so happy, this guy still likes money.
"Your mother should be at the entrance of the manor. The noble investigation team and the Void Processing Specialist of Night Edge should be coming later. You go over first. I will bury these corpses and come over."
Wang Yu continued to bury these corpses in the pit and search them, then turned around and spoke to Aviya.
"Yes." The girl nodded and went to the door of the manor. She hadn't spoken to her mother for a long time. She fell asleep without getting along with her before. Now that she was close to her, her mood became more urgent.
Walking towards the entrance of the manor, Wang Yu and I rushed here and didn't have much chance to appreciate it. Now we can see that it is indeed a very nice manor with all kinds of buildings. There are rivers, mountains and farmland in the distance.
I thought that my mother would be living a good life if no one came to intrude here. Thinking that there was no dust left in Decathlon, a smile appeared on the girl's face.
But the smile quickly faded, and something Wang Yu mentioned before made Aviya frown slightly again.
The Noble Investigation Team is an organization that specializes in investigating and handling the death cases of nobles. Usually the nobles themselves put people in it.
Once a noble dies, these guys will ask the corresponding noble to investigate. If the person who killed the noble is a civilian, he will probably be forcibly killed for whatever reason.
As for if a noble kills a noble, it depends on various factors such as the noble's title and financial resources.
But in general, it still depends on how much power the nobles have placed in this organization. In the final analysis, the exchange of interests has been tried and tested among nobles.
The reason why the girl frowned was because her mother didn't have any extra power to put into this organization, and things might become very troublesome when someone else comes.
With some worries, the girl walked towards the door of the manor. From a distance, she saw her mother's figure standing at the door of the manor, looking in a direction outside the manor. The girl also looked over and soon discovered that there were some black spots slowly moving in the distance. Get bigger slowly.
The sound of horse hooves on the ground gradually became louder. By coincidence, as soon as the girl reached the entrance of the manor, the members of the Noble Investigation Team and the Blade of the Night arrived on horseback.
Running quickly, Aviya ran to Mira. Mira saw her daughter running over, gave Aviya a big hug, and kissed the girl's fair face.
"My little Aviya, you can really sleep well. Two days have passed. If it hadn't been for the magic to tell me that you were fine, I would have been worried."
The girl nuzzled into her mother's arms and nodded, "Well, I made my mother worry. I'm almost recovered."
"Now is not the time for chatting, let's deal with these annoying guys first."
Mira shook her head with this helpless tone, obviously helpless and dissatisfied that her reunion with her daughter was interrupted.
In the distance, a large group of cavalry gradually became clear. The horses' hooves stepped on the soil that had not completely dried after the rain, throwing up pieces of mud.
The team is divided into two parts. There are about ten people in the front and a team of dozens of people in the back.
The people in the front group were dressed luxuriously, and the horses were tall and strong horses with thick armors, inlaid with many decorations, and many beautiful carvings.
The people on the horse were also wearing luxurious clothes, with complicated lace edges, patterns, and fabrics that looked like they were of high quality.
The most conspicuous thing is that basically everyone has a flag carried by a horse behind them, with the coat of arms representing the family engraved on it, which also corresponds to the family represented by each person on the horse.
The girl's eyes narrowed slightly because she saw the flag of the family she once belonged to. On it was a snow wolf holding an eagle in its mouth, the coat of arms of the Dauphin family, which was also the family of her hateful uncle...
The group at the back looked much more normal. The horses couldn't be distinguished from each other, and they couldn't be considered noble. The horse armors had no decorations, just plain and durable standard armors.
Everyone has armor, the light leather armor protects the less important parts, and the thick armor covers the weak points of the body.
The whole team's faces were covered with armor, and their cheeks could not be seen clearly, but the uniform formation gave people a capable and capable feeling.
Soon the two groups of people on horseback had arrived at the door. The group behind them saluted Mira and then went directly into the manor. Aviya took a look and went straight to the direction of the ruins of the mansion. It should be someone from Night Blade.
The members of the noble investigation team pulled the horse rope and stopped in front of Aviya and Mira amid the neighing of the horses. The leader was undoubtedly the guy from the Dauphin family.
This is a tall man with an expressionless face. He looks thin but strong.
After getting off the horse, this guy came in front of Mira and Aviya, his face looked gloomy and gray.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Riley Dove, and I am also the leader of this noble investigation team."
"Mira Swain."
"Avia Dove."
Aviya and Mira responded in a very calm tone. They didn't have a good impression of this guy.
Riley didn't seem to want to argue any further, so he took out a piece of parchment and started reading the contents on it.
"We hereby inform you that a member of the Dauphin family, Decathlon Dauphin, was killed when he went to the estate of Count Mira Swain to transfer the rights to the nobility, along with a total of thirty-six mercenary guards hired by him. Died together in the manor."
"Therefore, the noble investigation team suspects that Count Mira Swayin attacked and killed Decathlon Dauphin because he was unwilling to fulfill the decree of transferring the rights of the nobles and breached the contract."
"Here, the Noble Investigation Team will bring Lord Mira Sweyn back to the Imperial City for investigation. The Noble Investigation Team's Psychic Magister will confirm whether this is indeed the case."
Riley preached the contents of the parchment meticulously. He seemed to be speaking righteously, but in fact he had distorted the facts to an unknown extent.
"Then we are now going to vote for each family. I would like to ask each member if you have any questions about the handling of this incident. If you have no questions, please put down the emblem representing the family to express your approval."
After Riley finished speaking, all the family flags were quickly put down, indicating that they all agreed to bring Mira back to the imperial city for investigation.
The girl's expression was cold. What kind of benefits did she promise to make these guys deal with a viscount?
Bringing back the imperial city, is the psychic magician fair? Aviya doesn’t know what these guys are thinking? It's nothing more than wanting to cut off a piece of flesh again afterwards.
Looking at her mother with some worry, Aviya knew what these guys wanted to do, but there was no particularly good way.
Although this kind of voting seems arbitrary, the laws of the kingdom stipulate that the resolution of this noble investigation team does have legal effect.
After thinking for a while, her eyes lit up. The girl's mental power surged, and the Alchemy Demonic Eye appeared from its invisibility. This thing has never been damaged, and everything that should be recorded has been recorded.
As long as the content here is used as evidence, Riley's argument becomes useless.
"I disagree. Here is evidence to prove that Decathlon was not attacked and killed by my mother."
Aviya took out the Alchemy Magic Eye and twisted it. The Alchemy Magic Eye projected a light screen in the air, and a scene of negotiations between herself and Decathlon appeared on it. Mira did not even appear on the screen.
Then, except for the mother who looked at Aviya with gratified eyes, the members of the noble investigation team didn't even look at this place.
Riley continued, "In view of the fact that Mira Swain is a great magician and a great wizard, she does not rule out forging evidence and destroying evidence. In order to maintain fairness, she will ignore any evidence when the authenticity cannot be guaranteed. Attitude, please vote.”
The coat of arms representing the nobles fell again. Everyone agreed to ignore Aviya's evidence. The girl was extremely angry. This was just a statement. Any evidence that was not conducive to the investigation team could be directly invalidated with one vote.
She looked at her mother anxiously, but Mira gave Aviya a reassuring look. The girl was a little confused, but she still suppressed her uneasiness for the time being.
A playful smile appeared on Mira's beautiful face, "Then what if I don't want to leave with you? With the strength of my great magician and great wizard, how can you take me away?"
Riley's face was still as normal. He didn't know that Mira's strength was actually only at the level of a trainee. It was obvious that Decathlon had concealed this in order to monopolize the cake. Otherwise, Decathlon would not only take action.
He took this as a real threat, his expression remained indifferent and his tone was formulaic.
"The Noble Investigation Team has applied for the Imperial City Night Blade to assist in the investigation this time. It is led by a member of the special operations team, Sieg Wilsbach. If she does not comply, Mira Swain will be forcibly arrested. "
"Really, then I still don't agree." Mira's expression was dull, matching Riley's expression, and it seemed as if they were at odds with each other.
The girl looked at her mother. She didn't know why her mother was so confident, but if her mother said that, she must have her own considerations.
"Then we will let Mr. Zieg lead the soldiers to forcibly arrest you." Riley said calmly, with sufficient confidence.
"We'll see!" Mira didn't panic.
The two groups of people were in a stalemate here. Riley, mother and daughter both faced each other with indifferent expressions. The scene looked very stiff.
The other members were a little upset. They originally came here just to get a share of the pie, but they didn't expect to be exposed to the scorching summer sun now, and they suddenly started to become a little commotion.
However, the investigators of Night Blade soon returned. The leader returned here with a large group of people and stopped his horse to stand.
"Mr. Sieg Wilsbach, I need you to arrest Lord Mira Sweyn for disobeying the arrest in accordance with this order of assistance." Riley said to the leading Night Blade member.
"Really?" The leader took off his helmet, which was no different from the other members, revealing a handsome face.
His brown hair is slightly curly, and he wears single-sided gold-rimmed glasses on his eyes. His pupils are particularly blood-red. He should be bloodthirsty and weird, but against the soft and handsome facial features, he shows a special kind of look. of beauty.
This is a handsome man with a very booklike atmosphere. Just his appearance gives people a feeling of wisdom and knowledge. This is the leader of the Night Blade operation, Sieg Wilsbach.
He showed a thoughtful expression and nodded, "A reasonable request, but I refuse!"
"Mr. Sieg, the Imperial City requires you to assist us this time. Any reasonable request must be completed. Why do you refuse..."
Riley's expression finally changed, and his already gloomy expression became even more ugly, but his tone remained as calm as ever.
This guy has really made a lot of preparations. The imperial city's order is indeed difficult to refuse.
Aviya listened to what Riley said. Although she didn't know why Sieg would refuse, as Riley said, Sieg could not refuse Riley's arrest request if the Imperial City explicitly requested it.
"The Imperial City's order is for this mission for the noble Decathlon, but according to our investigation, we suspect that Decathlon Dauphin has released the void, and his noble status should be stripped away."
Sieg explained with a serious tone.
"But for any behavior of a noble, any suspicion cannot be used as a direct reason, but should be used as the direction of investigation. Only after conducting an investigation and collecting enough evidence can it be confirmed. Your suspicion about Decathlon Dauphin cannot be used as a direct rejection. reason."
"According to the regulations of the Blade of the Night, your definition of void events must be recorded by members holding the "Blade of the Void" arm armor before it can be recognized as a void-related event. Otherwise, the Blade of the Night will not enjoy the rights to the event related to the void. disregard other statutory powers."
Although the statement in the previous sentence that suspicion cannot be used as evidence seems extremely ridiculous when Mira Swain is to be forcibly arrested at this moment.
But it seems that Riley is really familiar with all the laws and regulations of the kingdom, and he is almost fooling around with them.
But Sieg had no intention of letting go. He smiled and said, "Why not? We have always had a member here."
He stretched out his finger and pointed to the distance, where Wang Yu was walking. He had just buried all the corpses.
Wang Yu looked at Sieg who was pointing at him a little weirdly. Wang Yu was somewhat confused. Why was he pointing at him?
Qie Ge walked over to Wang Yu first. Wang Yu glanced at Mira and saw her looking at him with a smile on her face. Wang Yu had a rough idea and there was no problem.
"Hello, I am Sieg Wilsbach, a member of the Night Blade Imperial City Special Operations Team. This time I am here to deal with matters related to Decathlon. Please hand over the "Void Blade" arm armor to me."
Void Blade Armguards? Is it the arm armor of the old knight? Without hesitation, he handed the arm armor removed from his left hand from his waist to Siege. Sieg took it and took a look at it, then nodded with satisfaction.
He turned around and walked towards Riley, whose expression had become distorted. When he turned around, a sentence floated to Wang Yu's ears through magic.
"Father Fang and Garcia both asked me to pay attention to you. I will not let my future colleagues be bullied."
Wang Yu also showed a smile. What, it turned out to be one of his own.
(The next chapter will complete the first volume, followed by a special thank you list and future plans. I will update the same list of Wang Yu’s attributes as in Chapter 6.5 tomorrow. I will put it in the main volume this time. I think this still took a lot of time. It’s written with great care hh. Anyone who reads this might be interested! I probably won’t put this book on the shelves. The entire book is free for everyone to read.)
