Chapter 672: Change of Hands

Vera replied, and there was a commotion in the crowd, but it was two Crusader knights who came with a blood wolf. The knight threw the blood wolf to the ground and reported to Vera, "Miss, we have caught a prisoner. He was willing to confess, but on some terms. ”

Vera stepped forward and said softly, "As long as you tell the truth, the Lord will forgive you." I can give you back your freedom, so tell me, what is your name? ”

"Leahy, noble miss." The blood wolf raised his head, this knight was still very young, about twenty years old. His face was stained with blood, and one cheek had been beaten and swollen.

"Yes, Mr. Leahy. I see that you are also a knight, so I think you know better than me what the rules of knighthood are. ”

"Yes." The young blood wolf said loudly: "Loyalty and honor are the rules and beliefs that run through the knight's life!" ”

"Very well, then tell me Mr. Knight, what are you doing here tonight?"

Lexi hesitated, and looked up at Lanza uneasily. The latter said gloomily: "Be careful with your words. ”

Vera looked up: "Are you threatening?" Threatening this Mr. Knight, what are you afraid of? Afraid that Mr. Knight will tell the truth? ”

Lan Za snorted and stopped talking. Vera looked at Lehi again: "You see, that person is obviously not worth your loyalty. I can foresee that even if you don't say anything, he'll make you disappear afterwards. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lanza said angrily.

"If I'm talking nonsense, why are you so angry, is it because I'm talking about the central matter?" Vera's gaze fell on Lanza's right hand, which was shrunk under the loose cuffs: "Why hide your hand, is it, there is a gun there?" ”

Lan Zha's face changed, and he immediately couldn't hide it. Slip out of the cuff a delicate fire. The gun, pointed at the blood wolf on the ground, pressed the trigger. De Vera reminded that the two silver knights watched as he watched as he lifted the fire. The guns have joined forces to lay down a layer of source power barrier. The Blood Wolf Knight on the ground could clearly see that a bullet was struggling through the Source Force Barrier, but it ended up falling in front of his eyes.

If it weren't for that source power barrier, maybe he would have turned into a corpse by now. Healai gritted his teeth and said loudly, "They plan to rape a lady, miss. We are ordered to guard, but we are only doing what we are told! ”

Lanza was furious, but several Crusader swordsmen stepped forward and had already captured his fire. Gun. Vera continued, "Oh, who are they?" Is it convenient to tell everyone, their names? ”

The Blood Wolf Knight reached out to Lanza and called out his name. Then he moved to Gilles: "This is the Earl, yes, your lord, Count Gilles!" ”

There was an uproar in the crowd of onlookers, and Vera raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet. Gilles had been desperately trying to identify himself, but now he was desperately trying to find out who everyone wouldn't recognize. Being pointed out to the face of the Blood Wolf Knight is not a glamorous thing. Seeing everyone's disdainful gaze, he couldn't help but shout: "Fart, I didn't do anything!" This bastard is slandering me, slandering an earl, and I'm going to send him to the gallows! ”

"I'm a witness!" Suddenly, someone in the crowd said, and when he heard this, Giles's face changed greatly.

The crowd parted again, and Willik, who had put his helmet back on, escorted Jora to the arena. When people saw that Ruola was untidy and wrapped in a sheet, revealing smooth fragrant shoulders, they immediately understood something. When he looked at Gilles again, his eyes were no longer as simple as disdain, but spurning. Jora exclaimed, "I'm not just a witness, I'm a victim. The Earl of Gilles is going to rape me, and he's still my relative! I really don't know, how could my brother give birth to such a bastard as you! ”

Annoyed, Gilles walked up to Jora and yelled, "I didn't! You slander and slander...... Oh, what are you doing! ”

He suddenly felt a chill on his body, but the wrapped robe was firmly stepped on. Gilles walked forward, only to let his robe slip off his body, revealing his skinny body. When the eyes fell on the Count's nakedness, especially the stepping position, the Gilles thing was shivering in the cold wind. The Earl finally roared, pulled back his robe, wrapped it around his body, and squeezed towards the crowd: "Get out of the way, if you don't get out of the way, I'll kill you!" Kill them all! ”

He had lost his mind, and his majesty as an earl was gone. Looking at Gilles' distant back, Jora sighed softly.

Tonight's canon ended with Gilles' furious cries, and as Vera had planned, the people saw the count's unbearable side. And this news will spread throughout the Ark Harbor after tomorrow, and public opinion will make Gilles ashamed to death. Similarly, for the next period of time, the Count will not take half a step out of the White Castle.

Back at his quarters in Ark Harbor, the courtyard was originally the property of a large merchant in the Emerald and Pearl Trading House. After becoming a Christian believer, the merchant generously donated his estate to the church, which in turn became Vera's home in Ark Harbor. The property, which includes the main building, annex building, square, garden and stables, is spacious enough to accommodate dozens of people.

Apart from Vera and the priest, as well as servants and crusader knights, twenty or thirty people lived in this courtyard, which was not crowded. There is one more guest here tonight, of course, Jora, who is not convenient to go back to the White Castle for the time being.

After hearing about the scandal on the banks of the Three Forks, some of the heavyweight characters in Ark Harbor couldn't sleep, and rushed to meet Vera overnight. In addition to verifying, I also want to probe the wind so that I can know what Jora plans to do next. After Vera sent them back, she met Jora in a relatively quiet room in the garden. Jora had already taken a shower and put on new clothes. Except that people look tired, there is nothing out of the ordinary.

The antidote concocted by Baggins had worked, and Jora's source power overflowed again, making her face flush again, not as pale as before.

Seeing Vera, she sighed, "I can't believe that such a terrible thing could happen." It's good that you arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. ”

"Arrived in time?" Vera shook her head and said, "Do you think there are so many coincidences in this world?" Tonight's holy ceremony was deliberately arranged by me, and the same is true for the trip to the banks of the Three Forks, as is the old house of Hambo to purge sins. It's all based on what I foresaw in Lanza the last time we met. ”

"You've foreseen?" Jora smiled wryly, "Then why didn't you inform me?" ”

"Would you believe it?" Vera asked rhetorically.

Jora sighed and nodded, "Indeed, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known that Gilles's psychology was twisted to this extent. By the way, you'll need to inform Alan. Giles told me personally that he had planned the last assassination of Alan in Ark Harbor. Unexpectedly, his brother's advice to him, he didn't listen to a word. ”

"This is unexpected news." Vera sat down, clasping her hands in her lap: "I will tell Sir Alan the truth." But what are you going to do with the current situation in Ark Harbor? Let Gilles continue to be this count? ”

Ruola frowned deeply: "He has just sat in this position, and now there is such a thing, if Gilles is allowed to continue to be this earl, I am afraid that people will be divorced." When the time comes, if someone with a heart like Count Reccord intervenes again, Ark Harbor will have to change hands and give it away. This is the territory that my brother has fought for all his life, and I can't just let Gilles lose it. ”

"You seem wiser than I thought, and I thought I had to talk about it."

"It was tonight that made me see something and know what my responsibilities were. I've been depressed for months since my brother left, and I can't go on like this. Jora regained her previous decisiveness and said, "Tomorrow I will go back to the barracks and control the army first." Then send a letter to the Marquis of Iron Spear, I need him to contain Rykede. Vera, I still need to meet Edward. ”

"On that point, I'll arrange. But before you meet Edward, I think you'll have to talk to the others. They were merchants, officials, and military officers in the city. More importantly, they are also believers in our church. I think these people can help you a lot. ”

Jora looked her up and down as if she were meeting the girl in front of her for the first time, and sighed, "I really underestimated you, no, I should say underestimate the power of your church." It has only been a long time since your power has penetrated to this extent. ”

"Don't worry, as long as you and Alan are on the same front, then our church will definitely not be your enemy." Vera laughed.

"I hope so." Ruola's eyes darkened, and she said, "How long will it take for him to come back?" ”

"Probably soon, right?" That's the only thing Vera can't be sure of. She stood up: "It's late, you can rest early, I won't bother." ”

Politely declining Jora's offer, she left the room. The hallway was lit with a dim candle flame, and in the candlelight, the silver-white armor on Willik's body flowed with a sheen. He spread his hands and said, "When will I not have to play the role of Dord." ”

"You can go back to Willik, but I agree with Edward's suggestion. We lack a commander in our crusaders, Willik, and you're the perfect fit. Vera looked up.

She continued to walk, and Willik, who was leaning against the wall, followed the girl, and said with a different face, "But I want to follow Master Allen more." ”

"It's all about him, you come to be the commander of the crusaders, and Alan will approve of it. After all, this position requires a person he can trust. And you, I feel that Alan has enough trust in you. ”

"Let's wait for the young master to come back." Willik looked behind him, "Is Miss Jora alright?" ”

"She's stronger than I thought, Willik, and I need you to make a trip to Castle of Dawn yourself." Vera said: "The lord of Ark Harbor has to be replaced, inform Edward, and be ready to act at any time." ”

Willik nodded vigorously.
