Chapter 103
After a long time, while sitting in the tavern sipping cider, he saw Adele come over with a heavy face. "Don't say anything about it yet, find a secluded place." Nashura waved his hand to stop Adele's instructions and immediately led Adele to the back corner of the tavern. Seeing that no one was around, the wand in his hand gently clicked the air.
Flashing runes immediately emerged around him and Adele. Soon it quickly returned to calm, and the noise from the noisy tavern unexpectedly calmed down the moment the rune disappeared. even see the mercenaries still eating and drinking and the bards playing the organ in the tavern. But the two could no longer hear these voices, and neither could they.
Seeing that the magic worked, Adele immediately spoke in an incredulous tone: "You'll never guess what I've found." After finishing speaking, she took out a few pieces of parchment from her bosom and handed it to Nashura. The latter took a closer look and immediately exclaimed: "This is the land deed?" "It's not a real deed, it's just a copy I made by sneaking into the castle." Adele added, which let Nashura found that the land deed did not have the count's seal on it. The ink on the leather was still a little dry, so Adele should have rushed over after copying it in a hurry.
As a result, Nashura shook his head and looked at it, then frowned and said: "These land deeds are all from the ironworks in Nurba. But they are all named to Kaleqi. Who is this Kaleqi?" ?”
Who knew that Adele was really capable, so she immediately took out another contract and handed it to Nasura, saying, "This is a mercenary contract, the contract that Count Torch signed with this Kaleqi four or five years ago. To help him manage Nurba and to be responsible for the law and order of Nurba." Nashura scanned the deed quickly and interfaced with his mouth, "That means this Kaleqi is the magistrate of Nurba, and the seal on it is indeed the Count's crest, it is the real thing."
After saying that, Nashura put the deed away and raised a question: "Why did all the ironworks in Nurba become the property under the name of this magistrate? And where is this Kaleqi now?" "This Kaleqi went out with Count Torch, and as for these ironworks, hehe, guess when all these ironworks became properties under his name?"
As soon as the words fell, Nash/1ura, who seemed to understand something after seeing Adele's smirk, dug out the land deeds again, and saw that the dates marked on these several ironworks were almost a few days apart. He couldn't help blurting out: "A month ago! These ironworks became his property a month ago! Could it be that it is Paladin..." "That's right."
Adela immediately smugly looked at Nashura's astonished gaze and explained: "Just less than a month after this Paladin took office as priest of Nurba, the merchants of these industries either went to the stake for the crime of heresy or hanged themselves in the dead of night. And after all these industries became Kaleqi's, and after the temporary management of the title, Paladin suddenly received a donation of sixty gold coins. If he hadn’t been recruited suddenly to become a priest with the army, I think it would not take long, that dilapidated church would have been refreshed, as extravagant and magnificent."
Nasura nodded in agreement, and habitually rested his chin on his hands and said, "That is to say, Andrew's intention to harm Paladin was nothing more than pure jealousy and greed for money. I can't understand how a priest who has just taken office has so much wealth, right?” Seeing Nasura’s enlightened face, Adele suddenly shook her jade-like fingers and threw a bombshell: “There’s more. Pay attention that the day Paladin took office, and the day of the Freemasons Union unrest, before and after the interval is of less than ten days. Two days before the destruction of the Flamel clan, his mother sent a letter to Paladin, saying that she was looking forward to her son's return home to see his parents. And!"
Seeing that Nasura was shocked again, Adele immediately added: "Besides, when Paladin took office, he was escorted by a mercenary. There was a mage in this mercenary, and that was O'Neill! "He knows O'Neill! O'Neill knows him too. That's right, otherwise why would he be hired by Paladin's father."
Adele became more and more complacent, listening to her chest and said: "I am now 80% sure that this Father Paladin is from the Freemasons Union, and he must know me, and I may know him too." But compared to Adele's excitement, Nasura was surprisingly heavy. He said with difficulty: "Now all the clues point to this Paladin, do you think that this Paladin is a fake?"
Seeing the heaviness of Nasura, Adele also followed the seriousness and nodded and said: "For the time being, regardless of whether the Flamel clan was killed by him, and regardless of whether he had the strength to exterminate the noble family in full view of the Fenrir. He's just pretending to be Paladin, Flamel's identity, I have a lot of confidence."
Nasura waved his hand a little, the silent boundary immediately disappeared, the tidal wave of noise came again, his eyes were flashing with hatred and he whispered: "Let's not talk about who is right. The most important thing we need to do now is to rush to Green Fortress and see this Paladin with our own eyes. See who he really is. It would be fine if it was purely a misunderstanding and coincidence. But if he really framed O'Neill and killed him... I must avenge my friend! "
Looking at Nasura's hateful gaze, Adele suddenly felt that the Nasura in front of her was a bit strange. She suddenly had a hunch that it was better not to go looking for this Paladin this time. Lest something regrettable happen. But there was no telling what the potential danger was. It only made her tangled up and unable to say anything.
And just as Nasura and Adele rode fast horses to Green Fortress, Paladin was sitting extremely comfortably in the tent. Naturally, he didn't know that the two bastards were guessing what they really wanted to guess. At this moment, Paladin was Looking at the only book on marching and combat that can relieve boredom. Paladin has never fought a war, and his avatar was only in a small fight before, and he has never seen a large-scale battle. For future money and future. He decided to start cramming knowledge in a short period of time.
Fortunately, there is a doppelganger, one person has the learning efficiency of two people. The two of them read different books about marching into battle at the same time, and the Paladin on the main body didn't need to sleep at night, so they had plenty of time to digest this huge amount of knowledge. The avatar was doing well, although suddenly becoming a baron of the Aries Knights made many Aries knights feel jealous and uncomfortable. However, with the help of gold coins and goodwill, many knights have gradually accepted the identity of the doppelganger, the captain and baron.
It's just that Earl White Orchid's gaze in the morning was too terrifying, it was a gaze of hunger and need. Paladin knew that sooner or later, he would control his avatar and have fun with this ugly and famous earl. Sooner or later, it's just a matter of time. One can imagine the fate of an ugly woman who is useless when the power is monopolized.
Thinking of the coming glory and wealth, Paladin could not help but put down his book to reveal a joyful gaze. But at that moment, outside the door, Tony came in and said urgently, "His Eminence, Auxiliary Bishop, go! Archbishop Sarrier has summoned all the clergy to the tent in the east camp!"
