From Reincarnated Maid Knight

Chapter 16 Arno's Fear
capital.

Arno was pacing back and forth in the hall of the Earl's mansion. Counting the time, it was time for the guards to capture the girl and get the artifact.

Thinking of the artifact described by Feite, Arno's heart became hot. Once he had the artifact, he might be able to move his family's title like those heroes who killed the demon king.

"My lord," my confidant walked over quickly, "Your personal guard brought a sword box."

"Oh?" Arno's eyes lit up, he was thinking about the artifact, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

"Haha~ Get someone to bring it in quickly. Where is Suo Tu? Still doing this. Didn't I say that he doesn't need to report it?"

"That's why it's strange," said his confidant with a frown, "Suotu himself didn't come, the one who came to deliver the goods was a newcomer from the Adventurer's Guild, who had Suotu's token on him."

The expression on Arno's face gradually turned cold, and he also wanted to understand that something was wrong.

If the sword box was really a divine weapon, Suotu, the captain of the personal guard, would never hand it over to others for safekeeping, let alone entrust the Adventurer's Guild to escort it.

"You mean, after Suotu got the artifact?" Arno's face was terribly cold.

The confidant bowed his head and said: "The sword box has passed the magic test, there is no harm, and it has not been opened yet."

"Hmph! Bring it in for me, I want to see what the hell that kid Suotu has done!"

The sword box was about two meters long and forty centimeters wide. The whole body was made of ordinary wood, and it wasn't even painted, so it was extremely rough.

Rather than saying it was a sword box, it looked more like a shrunk down simple coffin.

"Open it." Arno ordered.

The confidant opened the side lock up and down, and once opened, the smell of sealed blood rushed to his face, and the confidant also froze in place.

In the sword box was a headless body with a strange posture, curled up to the extreme, and a helmet filled with black paste in the front, but from the style of the helmet and armor, it was not difficult to see that this was the captain of the earl's personal guard, Soto !
"Yuck~"

Arno covered his mouth and nose, eyes full of horror.

"Take, take away! Take away!"

"Yes!" The confidant hurriedly closed the lid, and beckoned the servants outside to carry it outside.

For a long while, Arno, who was suppressing his nausea, always felt that there was still a bloody smell in the air, and that oozing picture appeared in front of his eyes from time to time.

"Is it Suotu?"

"Judging from his size, he is the right one." The confidant's body also trembled a little, Suotu's body was stuffed into it forcefully, and countless bones were broken, even the monsters were not so ferocious.

"What about the rest of the SS?"

The confidant shook his head, but his heart couldn't help but feel hairy. He always felt that they had offended someone they shouldn't have.

In the morning, the Adventurer's Guild.

"Morning, Noelle!"

Lovis has gotten used to that figure who gets up early. When there is no task entrusted, the girl comes to the book corner of the lobby to read at this time every day. Today she reads
Lovis narrowed her eyes, and looked at the book in the girl's hands, "Warlock, Mage, Blessing of Divine Art"

"Lovis, good morning." Noelle put down the book and smiled gently at the counter lady.

"By the way, Noelle," Lovis sorted out today's materials a little bit, "We have escorted a few shameful raiders to the noble court, where the capital's Adventurer's Guild and the Elven Kingdom put pressure on them. No accidents will happen. Otherwise, it is the death penalty.”

Noelle couldn't help but think of the cry named Aman, and immediately erased the thought.

"Thank you."

"The responsibility lies." Lovis had already received the report from the monitoring team, and she was stunned by all the things recorded on it.

According to the president of the branch, there is no possibility for Orton to improve at this age, and most of the beheading records in the report were completed by this quiet girl in front of him.

'With this level of strength, is there finally an adventurer of gold level in my hands? Lovis looked at Noelle as if she was looking at the most precious treasure in the world, which made Noelle hairy all over.

Noelle reached out and touched her little face, then turned to Lovis and asked, "Is there something on my face?"

"No!" Lovis waved her hand, "I just want to see Noelle."

Sure enough, after this sentence was over, the girl's fair and pretty face quickly turned red, until she turned her eyes sideways and turned her attention back to the book.

'It's so cute~'

Lovis hummed a ditty and happily started her day's work.

Earl's residence.

The study room was chaotic. The precious and ancient treasures, tea sets, and bookshelves were all smashed to pieces by Arno. The clothes on his body, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to tell that this is the Earl of the Kingdom who is an elegant gentleman on weekdays.

"Damn! Damn! Those old men in the court should be damned! So is the kingdom of elves! Everyone should be damned!"

Arno's body was trembling with anger, he sat on the only chair in the study that was still intact, and lowered his head decadently.

"My lord," the confidant saw that Arno calmed down, "this is the end of the matter, now we have to solve the current problem first."

Arno stared at his confidant with bloodshot eyes, and said hoarsely, "Tell me."

"There is no doubt that the guards Oman and others were handed over to the Adventurer's Guild by the Lion Wolf Fang Squad. We have seen it through the eyes of the Adventurer's Guild. We misjudged Orton's strength. According to the news, Orton is likely to have taken that step and has the strength of a gold rank.

The younger sister of the Marquis on the Eastern Front said that Noelle, who held the artifact, came down to be plated with gold. Everyone in the monitoring team knew this. No one from the noble court recruited her back, and she was probably not a nobleman of the kingdom. "

"Then where did she come from?! Other worlds in the four worlds? People from those worlds come to us to gild?!"

"Calm down, my lord. Judging from the interrogation report given by Aman and others, the miracle that seems to have used a specialized 'divine wall' is likely to come from the Temple of the Earth Mother. The grassroots personnel are familiar with the temple. People, but they don't know that person, judging from the strength shown by that person, at least people at the bishop level know her identity."

"The Temple of the Earth Mother." Arno murmured, and became decadent again. Whether it was the kingdom of elves or the Temple of the Earth Mother, he, a small count of the kingdom, could not offend him.

"It's all that Feite! Bewitching me!" Arno said angrily, "Think about it carefully, how could an ordinary girl have a magical weapon? I don't know if that guy is dead or not. If he is not dead, don't let me catch him." ! I must let him die!"

"My lord, the most important thing now is to get the understanding of the team of Lion and Wolf Fang, and push everything to Feite and Suotu."

"That's all there is to it, what should we do?"

"Privately apologize and compensate, huge compensation! Compensate until the other party is satisfied!"

　Thanks to 'Nine Tailed Flame Fox' for the reward!
