Only half an hour later, an inspection team led by two inspectors set off towards the Wrightswold family's steel mill.
Luka, after some disguise, dressed as an ordinary player and mingled with the team.
Due to the need for strict confidentiality, the location of the Sward family steel factory is not located in the royal capital, but on a small island in the center of a lake on the outskirts of the city. Entrance and exit are all dependent on a stone bridge. The outside of the steel factory is even built like a fortress. The city wall is not short, and there are soldiers standing guard, which shows how much it is taken seriously.
However, even if the defense level was so high, after seeing the team of the Tribunal, the soldier guarding the door still very wisely went in and informed, and then opened the door.
A bald man wearing gorgeous clothes and with a fat pot-shaped body walked up to Elufa and Wei Yin with a smile on his face. It seemed that he should be the person in charge here.
"Why did the two prosecutors come to us? As the property of the Lightsward family, there will never be any problems here."
"Whether there is a problem or not is not up to you." Elufa's face was gloomy, and his eyes were so cold that it was scary.
"We received a report that a batch of high-quality magic weapons recently appeared on the Demon Tribe side. We suspect that someone in your steel factory secretly sold things to the Demon Tribe."
"Impossible, there is absolutely no such possibility, Mr. Prosecutor." The fat bald man did not expect that Elufa would slap such a big label on him as soon as he came up, and waved his hands repeatedly to express that there was no such possibility.
"Really? Why not let us check it out?" Wei Yin next to her also spoke.
"Or are you worried that your problems will be found out? Having an affair with a demon is a serious crime."
"This...please allow me to report to the Marquis first." Seeing this posture, the fat bald man knew that the matter was difficult to handle. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and wanted someone to report it, but before he could give the order, he heard the words from the team of the Tribunal. A loud and domineering voice came out.
"I need to wait for your notification when doing things in the Tribunal? Check!"
Luka, who was wearing a gray Tribunal uniform, shouted, and then waved his hands to signal his teammates to rush in directly.
His actions confuse some of the other men in gray robes - why did you let your brothers rush before the two prosecutors gave the order?
"Follow him in and investigate!" Wei Yin and Elufa followed the order very cooperatively. This dispelled the doubts of the gray-robed men and followed Luka directly into the Empress of the Steel Factory.
Facing the notorious tribunal, none of the guards at the steel mill dared to stop it. After all, they were paid to work, so they couldn't offend these uncles.
Even if they can't cure the Marquis in the end, can't they cure a little Karami like me?
After entering the steel factory, Luka did not choose to go straight to the warehouse, but went to the forging furnace with Elufa.
Although the power of the Tribunal is great, it is not so powerful that it can be legally purchased for 0 yuan. If Luka steals it directly from the warehouse, not to mention whether he will be discovered on the spot, Elufa and Wei Yin will be held accountable. of.
And Luka didn't want to just get some steel and leave. After all, forty kilograms of material was nothing to the Lightswold family.
His real goal was to obtain the formula for refining Orvat steel and fundamentally solve the problem of not being able to buy it.
As long as he has the formula, Luka can cooperate with Sertini and directly mass-produce knockoff models to hit the market. While making a lot of money, it can also make the Swade family really bleed.
Once cheap competitors become available for such high-priced monopoly goods, they can only wait for the price to be cut in half.

Chapter 32
Even if the Lightsward family can rely on their power to forcefully deal with their side, the worst they can do is leak the formula to a few of their political opponents - the aristocracy is never monolithic, and there is no such thing as the fat piece of Ovart Steel. Few people are greedy.
Due to the need to use an extremely powerful flame magic array to assist forging, the furnace of the steel plant is more than 20 meters high. It is a narrow structure at the top and wide at the bottom. A large amount of thick smoke billows out from the top, like a volcano about to erupt.
As soon as Luka and Elufa approached the entrance and were about to go in, a shirtless blacksmith came out with several people and blocked the entrance.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to stop the prosecutor of the Tribunal?" Elufa frowned slightly when he saw this, and directly put his hand on the hilt of his sword to issue a warning.
"Get out of the way quickly, or I will arrest you all in the name of obstructing the search!"
"No, no, we don't dare to hinder the search of the Tribunal. It's just that work has just started here, and the temperature is a bit too high. You two should go in later." Seeing that Elufa was about to pull out his weapon, the blacksmith immediately He waved his hands respectfully.
"'...What do you think?" Elufa heard the other party's reasons and felt that they were reasonable, so she turned to Luka for advice.
"Captain, I think we need to act quickly. If we delay it for too long, it will be bad if someone destroys the evidence or does something else."
"Besides, if the temperature is so high that people can't stand it, how did they get out of it?"
Since Luka was now playing the role of one of Elufa's team members, he could only vaguely remind Elufa that these people were just delaying time by saying that the temperature was too high to go in.
And Elfa immediately understood the meaning of Luka's words.
Before the operation started, Luka had specifically emphasized to her and Wei Yin that the entire process must be quick and not give the Lightswold family time to react.
After all, it is the core industry of a noble family with a high status. If Elfa and Wei Yin suddenly went to investigate without the permission of their superiors, Marquis Wrightsward would definitely put pressure from all aspects after receiving the news. It took a long time. It's easy to let things go.
"There's not so much reason, get out of the way!" Elufa scolded several people again, and even pulled out the sword directly, as if he was about to take action at any time.
When the people blocking the road saw that Elufa had actually drawn his sword, they immediately stepped aside in fear and allowed the two of them to walk in.
Just a few steps into the furnace, Luka could clearly feel the temperature soaring, as if he were in the desert at noon, dry and hot, with no moisture in the air.
At this time, the two of them still had a long way to go from the core area of the melting pot.
"What should we do next?" Elufa asked Luka in a low voice in a deserted corner.
Due to the poor heat resistance of vampires, there were already a lot of sweat on Elufa's face at this time, and even her clothes were a little wet, looking at him with an indescribable sense of temptation.
"There's no need to go deep, they won't hide the formula here, we just need to find someone." Luka said, taking the opportunity to rub Elufa's buttocks, which immediately made the latter blush slightly.
"Who?" Elufa felt something hot rubbing behind her, and she couldn't even speak clearly.
"Orianna Folger, the number one blacksmith here, apart from the Marquis of Lightswold himself, only she knows the complete refining formula." Luka said a name slowly.
For others outside, it is very difficult to know information about Orvat Steel. The Wrightsward family's strict confidentiality of the formula has prevented it from being leaked for more than 500 years.
However, when he was with Irene before, Luka deliberately asked her if she knew the formula because he was interested in Ovat steel. The answer he received was that there are currently two people in the world who know the complete formula, one is the Marquis of Lightswold, The other is the talented blacksmith Orianna who is the head of the forge.
"As long as I catch her, I can get the formula out of her mouth."
"Okay, let's go find her directly." Elufa nodded, and then asked a forge worker who happened to be passing by to take him to Orianna.
Under the leadership of the workers, Elufa and Luka had not gone far when they heard a rough roar coming from a smelting platform in the distance.
Looking closely, he saw a red-haired girl with twin tails scolding a worker with a fierce look on her face.
"You have a brain worse than that of a pig. I asked you to bring me red gold ingots. Didn't you hear me?"
"If you delay me in forging equipment for Miss Erin, believe it or not, I will throw you in to sacrifice to the gods!"
After saying that, the girl with twin ponytails actually picked up a red-hot iron rod and hit the worker's knee hard.
"Ah——" The worker's knees were immediately smashed, and the heart-rending screams filled the entire furnace with the smell of burning.
This is the guy.
Luka is no stranger to this girl with twin tails. She used to often come to the team station to look for Yilin, so Luka has seen her many times.
But when I usually see Yilin, this girl with two ponytails always has a flattering face and speaks very kindly. She is completely different from the cruel and vicious image she has now.
"Bah, useless stuff." The girl with twin ponytails spat at the worker again, then turned around and saw Luka and Elufa, and she opened her mouth to question loudly.
"Who are you? Didn't you see me working with your eyes? Go away, girl!"
So arrogant?Do you even dare to criticize people in the Inquisition?
Luka was a little surprised at first when he heard what the girl with twin tails said, but before he could get angry, he heard Elfa beside him say coldly.
"Dare to verbally provoke a prosecutor? It seems you really want to be locked up and spend a few days in jail."
Censor?
The girl with twin tails had a puzzled expression on her face after hearing these words, but after seeing clearly the Tribunal logo on the clothes of Luka and Elufa, her expression suddenly froze.
Although she also received news about the person coming from the Tribunal, she did not expect that he would find her here so quickly.
Luka, who was next to Elfa, seized this opportunity, took out a pair of handcuffs from his body and stepped forward to take her away.
Originally, Luka was still thinking of some reason to capture Orianna, but now he didn't even need to look for a reason.
"What are you doing? This is the place of the Swade family. You can't arrest me like this!" The girl with two ponytails saw that Luka was about to take her away. She suddenly became anxious and even gave Luka a slight push in the process.
However, with just such a slight push, she saw Luka being pushed directly to the ground, and then pointed at herself and shouted.
"Violently resisting law enforcement? Additional crime!"
Chapter 33 The Trial Begins
"You! You wait for me!"
By this time, the girl with twin tails also realized that Luka and Elfa's goal was to catch her, so she deliberately pretended to be pushed down.
Faced with this situation, she could only admit her defeat, put on handcuffs, and was taken away by the two of them.
"You take her back, I will continue the search here." Elufa gave an order to Luka on the way.
Although the purpose has been achieved, if everyone is arrested and evacuated immediately, even a fool can see that the purpose of this inspection is to capture Orianna, so at least the necessary inspections must be completed.
"Yes." Luka responded, and then took the first step to drag the girl with twin tails towards the outside of the steel factory.
During this process, the fat bald man from before saw Orianna being taken away and wanted to stop Luka, but Luka did not tolerate him and directly said that he would either give way or prepare to go in with the girl with twin tails.
The fat man had no choice but to obediently make way for Luka.
"Hmph, I want to see what you can find out? I won't be able to find anything by then. Let me see if you can still wear these clothes!"
"A bunch of vicious dogs raised by the church really think of themselves as characters!"
The girl with twin tails kept cursing angrily along the way, chattering like a sparrow.
But Luka didn't say a word. He just put her on a horse that had been prepared and immediately rushed towards the black church of the Tribunal.
It's hard for others to say, but Orianna is still very important to the Lightswold family. If they can't directly ask for the formula in a short period of time, Elfa and Wei Yin may not be able to withstand the pressure from the Marquis.
The power of the Tribunal is indeed exaggerated, but after all, Elfa and Wei Yin are just front-line prosecutors, not big shots, and this search was not reported to their superiors in advance.
Luka only had a few hours to force the formula out of Orianna's mouth.
……
"Father, I was indeed a little angry at the time, but that dirty goblin actually insulted me as a prostitute, and even later defrauded my family's casino of money to ruin my reputation. If I didn't fight back, then I How can you live with dignity?"
In a magnificent manor, facing her gloomy father, Yilin could only lower her head silently and explain.
"So you not only agreed to the bet, but also took the initiative to report this matter?" Marquis Lightsward stared at his daughter, feeling extremely angry.
"Can't you just spend some money to hire a killer for this kind of thing? As a descendant of the sword master, you actually have a fight with a goblin. You have completely embarrassed your ancestors, you know!"
"I...I just want to defeat him openly and end this farce completely." Yilin stuttered in reply, not even daring to raise her head to look directly into her father's eyes.
"Now that things have come to this, I don't blame you anymore, but if you lose the duel in two months, do you know how big a blow it will have to our family's reputation?"
"Sign a slave contract with a pariah with Goblin blood. If you get to that point, just remove Lightsward from your name!" The Marquis reprimanded him coldly, as if the person facing him was not his biological daughter, but He is an ordinary servant.
"Yes, father." Erin replied tremblingly.
"That's it, go practice your sword." The Marquis waved his hand and motioned for Erin to leave.
But at this moment, a white-haired old man dressed as a butler walked in quickly.
"Master, something happened at the steel mill."
"what happened?"
When the Marquis heard this, his expression that had finally softened suddenly became more gloomy.
If it was just a minor matter, the people at the steel plant would not report it to me at all, so there must be some big trouble.
Although the title is Marquis, the influence of the Letswold family is not much worse than that of several Grand Dukes.One is that as the descendants of the legendary sword master, many powerful warriors with outstanding talents have appeared in the family for hundreds of years, and they have made great contributions to the kingdom in terms of force. They are called a family of swordsmen.
The second is to master the lucrative and exclusive business of refining Orvat steel. Nearly [-]% of the kingdom's magic equipment is forged using this high-grade steel, which can be said to be an inexhaustible treasure basin.
"The news just came from over there. The steel factory was investigated by the people of the Tribunal."
"People from the Inquisition?"
After hearing this, the Marquis felt very strange.
His family had no conflicts with the church on weekdays, and even had a pretty good relationship, especially since his daughter Yilin and the candidate saint were in the same team, and he even often attended church activities.
Even if the Tribunal is relatively independent, it can't deny it any face, and he has no relationship with the demons at all, so why is he being investigated.
"...In this case, Irene, you just need to go to the steel factory and find out what's going on." After the Marquis thought for a moment, he decided to let his daughter go first while he went to visit the Grand Inquisitor.
After all, the Inquisition is not someone to be trifled with, and we still need to clarify the matter. If it is a misunderstanding or a report from a hostile family, it is fine. If someone in the steel factory is greedy and really sells the steel to the demons, it will be easy to explain. .
