son-in-law of blood

Chapter 71

Edgeworth went to chase the Lich, and the people who stayed in the field had already cleaned up Brian's subordinates. Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Hellen let out a long breath and called everyone to gather over.

"Meet Miss Hepburn!"

After all, Hepburn was a lifelong member of the Temple of Erudition and had a very good relationship with Elder Edgeworth, so the head of the Legion of the Temple Guards respectfully greeted Hepburn.

Hepburn nodded and turned to look at Hellen.

Xillen thought for a moment, and said with deep meaning: "Thank you for your great help today. Now that the elders are going to capture the Lich, why don't we go back and take the Lich's lair?"

The leading knight frowned and said, "The lich's lair? Do you know where the lich's lair is?"

Helen blushed and said without panting: "Of course I know, it's the Charles Manor not far away. The lich has been hiding in Brian's house these days, and that's his lair!"

"There... But after all, Brian is also a baron appointed by the Stewie Empire. Will we go directly to search a noble's mansion..." The tone of the leading knight was a little surprised.

Hellen waved his hand and said, "No, that man has fallen into darkness and has become a running dog of the undead clan. We are doing justice by taking him out of his lair now, and we are justified in going to the Imperial Court of Nobility."

Hepburn echoed from the side: "That's right, what Hellen said is very reasonable. Since we already know that there are liches harboring in Bryan's manor, as the chosen people of God, we have the obligation to eradicate them!"

The leading knight hesitated for a moment, and said: "Well, since Miss Hepburn also said so, let's go, and ask the two of you to guide us!"

"Okay! You are indeed righteous people, I believe the gods will bless you!"

With an unstoppable smile on the corner of Heron's mouth, he led the Knights towards Charles Manor.

"Your Excellency Xillen, I hope you don't break your promise. Since everything here is almost resolved, let's go back first!" At this time, the tauren priest Simon also gathered his tribe's men and moved towards Hellen said.

"That's for sure, and I would like to thank Lord Priest for your help tonight." Xillen said with his hands clasped.

Simon glanced at the well-organized knights, and said lightly: "Your Excellency is too famous, I think even if we don't come, you should be sure to wipe them all out."

Helen smiled lightly and said, "That might be, after all, I don't know when they will come over, well, don't bother Your Excellency Priest, and I will go to the Dark Forest to talk to you when the matter here is finished. Discuss that."

Simon nodded, and led his men towards the Dark Forest.

Looking at the back of the tauren tribe going away, Xieren shrugged and followed in the footsteps of the knights.

Because someone's horse riding skills were really bad, and no one from the Knights prepared a carriage for him, so he had to share a horse with Hepburn.

On the road, Hellen rode in front, and Hepburn sat behind to help him hold the reins and steer.

After walking for a while, Hepburn asked in a low voice: "Did you call Elder Edgeworth? How did they come so quickly?"

Helen smiled slightly and said, "Do you still remember the mercenary Truman who was released by me? When he told me that there was a mysterious man hiding in the Brian's house, I didn't expect that mysterious man to be It's a lich, but he said that that person can beat him, a Tier [-] fighter, helplessly with only physical strength. Just in case, I asked him to go to the Erudite Guild to recruit soldiers. "

Hepburn nodded and said, "That's really a blessing. If you didn't prepare in advance, we would have an accident today. Even if I use the family secret method, I am not sure that I can defeat a lich."

Hellen was silent for a moment and said: "Your appearance today..."

Hepburn suddenly hugged Heron tightly, leaned her head on Heron's back, and said, "Promise me, don't ask me?"

Hearon paused when he heard the words, and slowly shook his head and said: "Okay, I can promise you, but you have to promise me one thing, you can't use this method again without my consent. I am not Fool, the way to improve so many cultivation bases in an instant must be..."

"Hmm~"

Helen stopped talking, sighed softly, pinched the horse's belly, and rushed towards Charles Manor.

※※※※※

Baron Bryan took away most of the soldiers in order to be safe in the pursuit, so Charles Manor was breached by Hellen and others without any effective resistance.

"You...you are paladins of the Temple of Learning! Bastards, how dare you attack the mansion of the Baron of the Empire without authorization!"

Brian's old butler Stanley shouted angrily.

"The baron of the empire? I'm sorry, old man, I want to tell you some unfortunate news. Your baron colluded with the Lich and betrayed the human race. Are you still ashamed to say that he is a nobleman of the Steway Empire!"

Hillen responded loudly.

The servants and guards in the Charles Manor didn't even have the intention to resist after hearing Hellen's words. They colluded with the undead and betrayed the human race. This is a crime of ransacking their homes no matter which country they are in.

"How is it possible! I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

Stanley's eyes were full of disbelief.

Hellen smiled lightly, and said: "Old man, you can take a look, this is your master's body, carefully identify how the wounds on his body came from! Hehe, it is really enough to collude with the Lich and be killed by the Lich. Ironically!"

As he said that, Helen signaled the soldiers to bring Brian's body over. After all, it was considered evidence, and in the future it would be sealed up and handed over to the Court of Steway Empire for verification, so when he came back, Hellen specially ordered someone to bring Bryan's body to him. Ryan's body was collected.

The butler Stanley looked at Brian's body, his eyes were dull, and he kept muttering to himself: "How is this possible, how is it possible for the descendants of the Honggen Iris family to do this, how is it possible for the master to do such a thing..."

Helen didn't have the heart to care about Stanley's mood anymore, and called the soldiers to rush into Brian's manor to search carefully.

"Hey, what are you looking for?" Hepburn asked in a low voice, following Hellen's footsteps.

Helen shook his head and said: "I don't know, something special, Brian is just a little baron, it is impossible for him to have the courage to collude with the Lich, and I also want to know, he colluded with the Lich What is the demon for? I just searched him and found nothing, I hope I can find some clues in his home."

"This should be his study."

Hellen took Hepburn to the door of an antique room.

Pushing open the door, the interior layout is very simple, only a few desks are placed inside.Behind the desk is a bookshelf with many books on it.

"Let's look through it together, and focus on seeing if we can find some letters and notes."

Helen gave an order and started the treasure hunt.

The two were busy in the study, and after a short while, Hepburn interrupted Hellen's search.

"Look at this thing, it feels so familiar!"

Hepburn said to Hearon, holding up the metal product he found from a hidden compartment behind the bookshelf.

Xillen walked over to take the token, and after looking at it carefully for a while, cold sweat ran down his back instantly, and a chill rose in his heart!
