Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

Chapter 317: The Old Marquis Who Stays Away

"Here, you can ask someone to clean it up. There's no need to waste money."

Ye He gave Rose some instructions and prepared to leave.

Although the gold pounds pressed by the corpse were soaked in corpse oil, money is money. The Imperial Central Bank has always provided services for exchanging new banknotes, but it will charge a small handling fee.

As for whether there might be other traps in these banknotes, Ye He knew very well that there were none.

The "malice" in slandering this man goes far beyond this, leaving him with nothing even after his death. This is called malice.

Ye He simply discovered this wealth in advance before the spreading stench of corpses attracted other people.

After leaving the house, Ye He got on the carriage alone. After telling the coachman the address "Go to Wolfgang's Manor", he closed his eyes and rested.

He was neither tired nor sleepy. He had already thought through everything he needed to think about last night. The only reason he needed to close his eyes was because he was just checking something.

This morning when Ye He was seeing Emilia and Anna off, Emilia suddenly handed something to Ye He.

"This is yours, right? It's hard to imagine how you could leave something so valuable there. Keep it."

At that time, Ye He only felt that Emilia had given him a ball of air. It was not until he and Rose got on the carriage together that Ye He found that Rose in his sight was only wearing underwear. Then he realized what Emilia had given him back.

Eye of God!
This eyeball that was abandoned by Ye He in Hell No. 83 was finally taken away by Emilia, and now she has sent it back to Ye He.

The Eye of God was originally an energy body. When Emilia took it out of the special box, it automatically returned to Ye He's body.

Now it is rapidly regaining its original divine effect, but perhaps because it has stayed in hell for too long, its name and efficacy have undergone subtle changes.

[The Eye of God Stained with the Breath of Hell]

[Abilities: Perspective, Malice Absorption, Opening the Gate of Hell (Unfinished)]

The newly added [Perspective], as the name suggests, is the ability to see through things.

But it is a passive effect, and Ye He didn't have time to adjust it just now, so its effectiveness became stronger and stronger.

When Ye He looked at the coachman just now, he could already see his wriggling internal organs.

This visual experience was not good, so Ye He closed his eyes and carefully felt its presence, and tried to adjust its power.

By the time the carriage stopped at the gate of Wolfgang's manor, Ye He was almost halfway successful.

He can no longer see through other people's skin, but the ability to see through clothes is still there.

So when Marquis Wolfgang, who was "only wearing underwear", came out to greet him with a group of maids wearing only suspenders and stockings, his expression was so strange.

In fact, Yehe has the omnipresent Caesar and has no need for this kind of perspective ability.

But the existence of this ability still has its benefits.

Just like...

It allowed Ye He to see at first glance that there were two maids with daggers stuck in their thighs.

This way of carrying a weapon without a scabbard and allowing the blade to touch the skin is definitely not something a normal "secret guard" maid would use.

Besides, Marquis Wolfgang doesn't need secret guards, his personal strength is there.

"You are finally back! My dear priest!"

The enthusiastic Marquis Wolfgang stepped forward and wanted to give Ye He a hug, but because his chest muscles were wider than Ye He's head, Ye He raised his hand slightly to stop him.

Then Ye He used this hand to grasp the white ivory that appeared out of thin air and pulled the trigger directly.

"Boom!"

Two bullets flew past Marquis Wolfgang and pierced the heads of the two maids who were carrying weapons.

The other maids were obviously frightened by Ye He's sudden killing. If Marquis Wolfgang had not been there, they would have hugged each other and screamed.

"This……"

Marquis Wolfgang had never expected Ye He to suddenly shoot, and he immediately thought of Maxwell.

Could it be that Ye He was angry with me because I made him the mayor?

No, Ye He wouldn't care about such a small matter. He came here today just to find out what was going on.

The remaining reason is...

There was no need for Ye He to say anything more, Marquis Wolfgang himself realized the truth.

He called two maids over and asked them to strip the clothes off the two bodies.

The maid, who had obeyed the order, had just lifted up their skirts and quickly stood up to make way, allowing Marquis Wolfgang to see with his own eyes the weapons tucked into their thighs.

"I see... Let's take them away."

This truth is exactly what Marquis Wolfgang thought. In fact...

"This isn't the first time I've traveled with an assassin."

On the way to lead Ye He into the manor, Marquis Wolfgang explained to Ye He helplessly:
"During the time you were away, some high-ranking officials in the empire targeted Sedavier and also targeted my life."

"Why are you being targeted?"

After hearing this explanation, Ye He immediately asked Marquis Wolfgang curiously.

What he meant was that Marquis Wolfgang was never a "soft persimmon", so why didn't he stop those people's covetousness, not that Marquis Wolfgang had nothing worth targeting.

For a city as big as Cedarville, the population mobility is quite high, and the annual tax revenue alone is an astronomical figure. It is very normal for greedy people to covet this income.

"First of all, I am certainly not afraid of them. So far, I have protected myself, my family, and my property very well."

Marquis Wolfgang raised his spirits.

"But... there are too many of them, and there is someone leading them. I can't defeat them head-on."

The old marquis's momentum quickly declined, and he was enveloped in a feeling of helplessness.

Before Ye He asked him the next question, Marquis Wolfgang glared at Ye He with his big copper-bell eyes.

“It’s New Town.

Except for you, the king, and those few nobles who "got on board" early, no one else got the advantage they wanted.

Without you, they dare not offend the king, and I am the only one left as their final target."

Marquis Wolfgang's tone was full of helplessness of being implicated, but Ye He still sneered even though he understood what he meant.

Whether he is involved or not... If Marquis Wolfgang needed to rely on himself, the Wolfgang family would have been devoured by those hyena-like nobles long ago.

Ye He suspected that Marquis Wolfgang was looking for an excuse to avoid the main issue and change the subject.

"My Lord Marquis, I'm a bit pressed for time. If you still have this attitude, I'll leave Maxwell to you."

At this point, Ye He also discovered what Marquis Wolfgang was avoiding. He must have accepted Maxwell's benefits and let Maxwell obtain the power and position of mayor.

This was Marquis Wolfgang's own choice, but it was obvious that he must have been thinking, "As long as Ye He comes back and kills Maxwell, I will have gained the benefit for free."

The two maids carrying weapons were most likely assassins, but Marquis Wolfgang must have carefully kept them until today, and let them "find an opportunity" in front of Ye He to assassinate him.

As long as Marquis Wolfgang shows that he is unable to take care of himself, there will be no reason for Ye He to drag him along to deal with Maxwell.

After not seeing him for more than two months, it seems that this Marquis has made the same mistake that all nobles make: only taking advantage and leaving all the risks to others.

Ye He had previously played the role of "taking risks" for Marquis Wolfgang, but it was just a coincidence when he was taking action. At that time, Ye He himself did not realize that he was being used as a gun.

Ever since he knew that Christine was still working in the city hall where Maxwell was, Ye He guessed that Marquis Wolfgang was playing tricks.

Since he and Maxwell have a deal, Maxwell will not touch Christine.

But Ye He will not allow this situation, and will inevitably conflict with Maxwell again because of Christine's safety.

In this situation, Marquis Wolfgang, who has been reaping the benefits from the beginning to the end, will laugh happier than anyone else in his own manor.

However, his plan was discovered by Ye He, and Ye He just gave him an ultimatum.

"Well, what do you want to know from me?"

The old marquis, no longer daring to play dumb, finally behaved himself.

"Oh, I don't want to know anything now."

From the fact that Marquis Wolfgang was evasive and even designed his own behavior, Ye He had roughly guessed the answer.

On the Marquis's side, Maxwell simply spent enough benefits to buy the position of mayor.

Marquis Wolfgang left all the fear and handling of Maxwell to Ye He. He did not investigate Maxwell's target at all, or did not find out at all.

So Ye He thought he had made a wasted trip, and he had no intention of entering the manor which was so close to him. Christine was at work and not at home.

There was no intention of letting Ye He enter the building where even his lover was not there, so Ye He turned around and stepped onto Camelot, and quickly flew towards the city of Cedarwell under the gaze of Marquis Wolfgang.

"Sir...he's gone?"

A deacon approached Marquis Wolfgang and looked at Ye He who was flying away with an incredible expression.

The Marquis had planned for so long, but he didn't expect that the priest would just expose the identities of the two assassins and leave without even entering the door.

"Yeah, but he won't leave those guys alone."

There was no regret on the old marquis' face; this result was still within his expectations.

In fact, Marquis Wolfgang was only keenly aware of the escalation of events.

He discovered that the current Maxwell was no longer the existence he could have imagined;

It would not be difficult for two Lightless Ones to destroy Sedavire;
And that circus... No one paid much attention to what happened in Isengard, but Marquis Wolfgang, who had some friendship with Messiah, was well aware of the existence of the world-destroying malevolence.

The bad thing is, Messiah entered that circus ten days ago and hasn’t come out yet…

Forget it, the two tickets I gave to the dean should have reached Ye He.

Ye He would definitely go, and if the Messiah was still alive, Ye He would rescue her.

I am already old enough to be a grandfather, and being a hero saving a beautiful girl... is really not suitable for me.

Marquis Wolfgang has done more things than Yehe. Unlike Yehe, he does not have particularly strong power, but he has such a big family to look after.

So he chose to keep a low profile and become a mascot lord, leaving these powerful guys to mess around in the city.

"Sir, then our arrangement..."

The deacon didn't know that Marquis Wolfgang had recalled so many things in an instant. She was still asking the old marquis for instructions on her next move.

"Well, let's withdraw."

Marquis Wolfgang waved to her. In addition to the two assassins mixed in with the maids, he also prepared many things for Ye He to show that he had been "having a hard time" recently.

It's no longer needed now, so I need to clean up what needs to be cleaned up, and get rid of what needs to be cleaned up...

Oh.

Thinking of this, Marquis Wolfgang quickly said to the deacon who was about to turn around:

"and many more."

"Yes, what else do you want?"

A second had passed since the deacon asked the question, but she hadn't received a reply from the resolute Marquis.

This made her look up immediately, wanting to see the expression on Marquis Wolfgang's face.

…Her memory finally lingered on a fist that was constantly getting bigger.

She was very familiar with the hand that clenched the fist.

In the past few nights, she would suck each finger of this hand every night.

But even though she climbed into Marquis Wolfgang's bed, she still couldn't escape the Marquis's "reckoning".

After smashing the deacon's head, Marquis Wolfgang used this hand to pick up the handkerchief from her breast pocket and then wiped his fingers with it.

After throwing the handkerchief on the fallen headless body, Marquis Wolfgang raised his chin, looked at the body and said to himself:
"The Fafner family's artificial human technology is becoming more and more mature...

Tsk tsk, if this guy continues to stay with me for a while, will he really give Christine an uncle? "

This is Wolfgang Manor, and this is Sedawell. Both places were built up bit by bit by the old marquis from scratch.

No matter what means outsiders use to send spies or assassins to Marquis Wolfgang, everything is so conspicuous to this old lion who is familiar with every tree and blade of grass in his territory.

……

If there was no other choice, he would not stay out of it.

Ye He, who chose to fly back to Sedaver, was not angry with Marquis Wolfgang, because he knew that the Marquis cared about Sedaver more than anyone else.

After all, he was the builder and owner of this place, and Ye He was just in the same group with him because of Christine.

Speaking of Christine...

Ye He suddenly looked down and found Christine fleeing in a forest.

Why is she here? Why is she running away?

These are no longer important.

Because the one chasing her was none other than a scary squirrel of a high rank!
