"Since someone has reported it, let the reporter come to confront him." Perry also felt that there was something fishy about this matter. After all, he saw with his own eyes that this group of people carried Barris, who was obviously their leader, in front of them. As a human shield.
Although Perry is also a hero and can use his strategic attributes to influence the team, without the system panel bonus, those people will not be as devoted to him as those trained by Buck using the system.
If Buck really had just arrived in this territory, then the actions of these townspeople would seem a bit strange.
Soon, two people were brought over, and it turned out that Buck had driven away two [thugs] from the refugees.
"That's him, Father Father. This guy not only killed our friends, but also coerced those poor homeless people to come to his territory. He must be doing something evil!"
"Yes! Those people are so old and disabled that they can't do any work. How could anyone be kind enough to take them in?"
As soon as the two saw Buck, they immediately started shouting.
"A thousand dollars buys horse bones." Buck suddenly said something after hearing the other party's accusation.
"A thousand dollars to buy horse bones?" Buck's words stunned a group of people.
"When I was very young, I once heard a story told by a passerby. Once upon a time, a nobleman was willing to buy a good horse for a thousand gold coins. But three years later, no one was willing to sell it to him. Later, his A steward brought gold coins to look for good horses. What he bought back after spending a thousand gold coins was a pair of good horse bones. The steward said: 'This will show the sincerity of the nobles in seeking good horses!', and sure enough, in the following days, one after another, Someone sent a good horse."
"My territory needs development, and development requires population. Now that there is a war in the north, there must be many people displaced, including refugees who lack identity."
"Since I can take in these old, weak, sick and disabled people, I can naturally take them in, and all I have lost is a little money."
"As for these two people, they can tell at a glance that they are either deserters or evading military service from other territories. Naturally, I will not take them in. As for the guy who was killed by me, he dared to rush into a noble, so what if I kill him?"
Buck's words immediately left the two of them speechless.
When they collided with the nobles, not to mention they were deserters, even if the civilians were beaten to death, they deserved it. At this time, the two of them had begun to regret what they had done.
And the refugees who were taken in by Buck were relieved one by one. Although they had moved in, they had been feeling uneasy. Now that Buck had an explanation, they were relieved.
"Although what you said makes sense, things can't be decided by just one word. The little maid over there is yours. I have already restrained her. You don't mind if we interrogate her." Although I feel that What Buck said made sense, but Perry wouldn't just listen to his words.
"Of course, I hope that the priest will also inform me of the results of the interrogation. This time it was also an accident. I met the Sphinx when I was out..." Buck nodded and directly told Keita after meeting the Sphinx. En told her about taking the potion.
Of course, things have been changed. For example, the Sphinx's second question was very simple. Buck was rewarded with some gold coins when he answered it correctly. When other guards saw the leader's identity exposed, they intended to kill him, but were killed by a green-haired man. Saved by a vampire.
These are all confessions made by Buck, Hossen and Bruce.
Hearing Buck's words, Dixon's eyes lit up as he had the mission to hunt down Elise. However, because Perry was here, he did not say anything for the time being. He just asked Buck about the place where he met the Sphinx, and then sent a few knights to let him know. Hossen led the way and rode out to search.
Then he personally led people to Elena, who was locked by Perry.
"During the interrogation, go outside the town and set up a soundproof barrier." As the presiding judge of the original trial court, Perry naturally knew the methods of his old subordinate.
By this time, the residents had been dispersed by Buck and returned to their residences. As for the damaged areas, they would be cleaned up the next day.
Buck welcomed Perry into his lord's mansion.
Since there was no one left to serve him, Buck personally poured tea for Perry. After all, Perry's original name, Buck, was also heard.
After a while, Dixon, who had obviously finished cleaning with magic, walked into the room, came to Perry's side, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Few people can withstand the torture of the Tribunal, at least not the little maid Elena. Before Dixon did anything serious, she had already used everything she knew, although she didn't know much.
What happened is very simple. A cult tried to find the Black Magic Sword, sent people to lurk in the Buck family and controlled Buck's father. They killed his parents after Buck was born, and then continued to control Buck to look for clues.
If it weren't for some special magic mechanisms, seals and other special items that may need to be unlocked by direct bloodline, Buck would have died long ago.
"Since Lord Buck doesn't know about it, then this matter will be easier to handle. We will truthfully report this matter to the Holy See and the royal family. Someone may come to investigate in the future. We originally had our own tasks, and we just received the report. I just dropped by, so I won’t disturb you.”
"As for the other person who made the false accusation, it's up to you, Lord Buck, to deal with it yourself."
After confirming that Buck was not suspected for the time being, Dixon was ready to leave. Although it was already night, their mission was obviously more urgent, especially after they had certain clues.
"Sir Perry, we still have a secret mission personally assigned by Lord Engel. You see..." Although I can't wait, I still have the due etiquette.
"I'll leave with you." After hearing Dixon's words, Perry did not stop. After declining Buck's request to stay, the two left Buck's Lord's Mansion and came to the outside of the town.
At this time, the people who went to look for clues had returned. Seeing Dixon coming out of the Lord's Mansion, Abate immediately came over excitedly and gave Dixon a subtle wink.
"Dixon." Just when Dixon was about to say goodbye to Perry again, Perry suddenly spoke.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
"You just said that the people who have been controlling the Short family all these years are from the Plague Sect? And the reason why the butler left was because he received the so-called order from above?"
"That's what the little maid named Elena said." Dixon nodded, "But over the years, there have been countless heretics who have preached under the guise of the four major sects, and the Sealed Land was established only five years ago. Lord Engel and the Grand Council Chairman of the Mage Alliance personally reinforced it, and the other three tribes also received news that the seal was intact..."
"Two years ago, there were rumors of the spread of plague in the southern part of the empire, and in the past two years, plague has also appeared within the empire..." Perry mused: "There are not so many coincidences, so let's put down your tasks first. Come with me to hunt down the butler, and as for Engel, let me explain it!"
"Yes! Sir." Dixon looked at the serious Perry and agreed directly without any hesitation.
No one knows the methods of this former presiding judge better than him.
