Working Prophet

"Who are they?" Ilea asked.

"The residents of the city," Ferdinand said, "Sir Judith suspected that they were connected with Herodotus and were spies of the Blood Moon Society, so they and their families were arrested."

"Are all these people spies of the Blood Moon Society?" The female lord was startled.

"Of course it's impossible," Ferdinand shook his head. "Blood Moon Society is well-organized and secretive. It is difficult to be caught, and all believers are brave enough to die. Even if they are caught, they will not confess others. Most of these people Just ordinary civilians.

"Maybe I drank too much in the tavern, said a few good words for Herodotus casually, or complained about the Mariel family and was arrested.

"Sir Judith's uncle died in Rock Snow City, and then lost one of his sons in Teacup Castle. He hated Herodotus and Blood Moon to the bone, and put a lot of pressure on the people below, asking them to be in the If enough people are caught in a short period of time, the people below can't do it, so they can only use civilians to make up the number."

"Will there be no trouble if this continues?" Ilea frowned.

"Who knows, I've been in this city for a day, and I can feel the resentment accumulated in it, but after all, the Mariel family is a famous family in the western region. Their ancestors built this city and have been ruling here since then. More than two thousand seven hundred years.

"It's not that they have encountered a more serious crisis than this during the period, but now they are still the masters of the city in the lake."

Just as Ferdinand was talking, more than 20 masked men in gray sackcloth and holding butcher knives rushed out of a butcher shop across the street.

The leading masked man shouted, "The blood moon has appeared, purify the world! Don't be afraid, don't shrink back, take up arms, and defend our brothers and sisters together! The goddess will be with you and me!!!"

While killing the guards of the Mariel family who were escorting the prison cart.

And his companions behind him also launched a charge with him, like a hungry wolf, they rushed towards the prison car one after another!

The guards of the Mariel family did not panic when they saw this. Although they were outnumbered, only half of the opponent, they all drew their swords from their waists and prepared to fight.

The captain in the lead should also have a part of the blood of the Mariel family. His interpupillary distance is much wider than that of ordinary people, and his eyebrows are raised to the sides.

He was the only one among the guards who didn't draw his sword immediately, until the group of masked men on the opposite side almost rushed in front of him.

Only then did he sneer, advance instead of retreat, and took another half step forward, and then the female lord saw a head flying up!

It was the masked man who shouted earlier, and then the captain of the guard raised his sword again, chopping down the two of them one after another.

His bravery inspired other guards of the Malir family, and they soon fought together with the group of men in black of unknown origin.

The battle only lasted less than five minutes, and all the masked men were killed. Half of the street was stained with blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Four of the Malir family guards were also injured, but only one was seriously injured.

Jude only glanced twice at the beginning of the battle, then lost interest and directed other Black Dog Guards to move the salute into the hotel.

And Thomas still led people to guard the female lord's side.

"Go and report to the Sheriff. We have killed twenty-three more heretics from the Blood Moon Society."

The leader of the guard pulled over one of his guards and ordered, "Also find out who owns that butcher shop, and arrest any friends and relatives he has in the city."

After saying that, he suddenly looked towards everyone in Luye and said, "You look a little embarrassed."

"Why, are outsiders not allowed to enter Lake City City now?" the female lord said calmly.

"Of course not. We welcome guests from far away, as long as you abide by the rules here." The captain of the wide-eyed guard took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on his hands.

He was a little surprised. After witnessing the bloody scene just now, most people on the back street had more or less physical reactions, and there was a hint of fear in their eyes when they looked at him. It's calm.

This made him a little curious about the identities of Ilea and others.

At this time, a guard hurried over and said something in his ear. After hearing this, the wide-eyed guard captain's expression changed slightly.

"Sir Ferdinand, I didn't know you were here."

"It doesn't matter. I'm just staying here for one night. I will leave the city tomorrow and continue my journey." The head of the Bathory family said.

"I hope you and your people can enjoy your time in Lake City. I have some errands to attend to, so I'll excuse you now."

After speaking, the Kuantong guard captain left with the guards and prisoners.

Although there was a small episode, the female lord and her party finally arrived at the hotel smoothly.

Ferdinand has it all covered.

Ilea was tired after driving for a few days, and was about to eat something and go back to her room to rest when she saw Jude coming down from the stairs with a boy about twelve or thirteen years old in his hand.

The latter was struggling fiercely and said at the same time, "Let me go, let me go quickly! I am not a thief!!!"

"Then do you want to explain why I found you on the wooden frame behind the window sill?" Jude said.

"I just took a nap and basked in the sun! That's what I did before you came here. Angie, the owner of the inn, can testify to me. My father is the butcher Harbifer from the butcher shop next door."

After the boy finished speaking, he found that the hotel suddenly fell into a strange silence, and no one spoke for a long time.

"What's wrong?" The young man didn't know which sentence he said wrongly, "You guys should be squeaky, I warn you, if I haven't returned home before sunset, my father will ask the security team for help. It’s going to be bad luck.”

"What should I do?" Jude asked this question to the female lord.

Ilea coughed twice, but before she could speak, she heard a voice, "Please, adults, please save this child!"

The one who spoke was the hotel owner Anji, a dwarf who runs the hotel with his wife and two daughters.

"Save me? Why do you want to save me when I'm fine?!" The boy was puzzled, "Uncle Anji, you don't need to beg them, I don't believe they dare to do anything to me in the city in the lake!"

"Shut up, Albus!" The dwarf, who always welcomed guests with a smile, suddenly turned serious and scolded.

After that, he continued to plead with the crowd, "I don't know why the child's father is obsessed with ghosts, but I can guarantee that the child is innocent and he doesn't know anything."

"Who said, I know a lot!" Albus protested loudly, "I can clean the room, I can make honey apple pie, I can also feed the horses, and I will be a squire of a knight in the future!"
