Chapter 448 Albus

"Who are they?" Ilea asked.

"The residents of the city," Ferdinand said, "Sir Judith suspected that they had connections with Herodotus and were spies of the Blood Moon Society, so they and their families were arrested."

"Are all these people spies of the Blood Moon Society?" The female lord was startled.

"Of course it's impossible," Ferdinand shook his head. "Blood Moon Society is well-organized and secretive. It is difficult to be caught, and all believers are brave enough to die. Even if they are caught, they will not confess others. Most of these people Just ordinary civilians.

"Maybe I drank too much in the tavern, said a few good words for Herodotus casually, or complained about the Mariel family and was arrested.

"Sir Judith's uncle died in Rock Snow City, and then lost one of his sons in Teacup Castle. He hated Herodotus and Blood Moon to the bone, and put a lot of pressure on the people below, asking them to be in the If enough people are caught in a short period of time, the people below can't do it, so they can only use civilians to make up the number."

"Will there be no trouble if this continues?" Ilea frowned.

"Who knows, I've been in this city for a day, and I can feel the resentment accumulated in it, but after all, the Mariel family is a famous family in the western region. Their ancestors built this city and have been ruling here since then. More than two thousand and seven hundred years.

"It's not that they have encountered a more serious crisis than this during the period, but now they are still the masters of the city in the lake."

Just as Ferdinand was talking, more than [-] masked men in gray sackcloth and holding butcher knives rushed out of a butcher shop across the street.

The leading masked man shouted, "The blood moon has appeared, purify the world! Don't be afraid, don't shrink back, take up arms, and defend our brothers and sisters together! The goddess will be with you and me!!!"

While killing the guards of the Mariel family who were escorting the prison cart.

And his companions behind him also launched a charge with him, like a hungry wolf, they rushed towards the prison car one after another!

The guards of the Mariel family did not panic when they saw this. Although they were outnumbered, only half of the opponent, they all drew their swords from their waists and prepared to fight.

The captain in the lead should also have a part of the blood of the Mariel family. His interpupillary distance is much wider than that of ordinary people, and his eyebrows are raised to the sides.

He was the only one among the guards who didn't draw his sword immediately, until the group of masked men on the opposite side almost rushed in front of him.

Only then did he sneer, advance instead of retreat, and took another half step forward, and then the female lord saw a head flying up!
It was the masked man who shouted earlier, and then the captain of the guard raised his sword again, chopping down the two of them one after another.

His bravery inspired other guards of the Mariel family, and they soon fought with the men in black of unknown origin.

The battle lasted less than 5 minutes, and the masked men were all killed. Half the street was stained red with blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Four of the guards of the Mariel family were also injured, but only one was seriously injured.

Jude only glanced twice at the beginning of the battle, and then lost interest, commanding the other guards of the Black Dog Guard to move the salute into the inn.

And Thomas still led people to guard the female lord's side.

"Go, report to the sheriff, we have killed 23 heretics from the Blood Moon Society."

The leader of the guard pulled over one of his guards and ordered, "Also find out who owns that butcher shop, and arrest any friends and relatives he has in the city."

After speaking, he suddenly looked towards the people in Lvye again, and said, "You guys look a little embarrassed."

"Why, outsiders are not allowed to enter Lake City now?" the female lord said calmly.

"Of course not. We welcome guests from afar, as long as you abide by the rules here." The captain of the wide pupil guard took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on his hands.

He was a little surprised. After witnessing the bloody scene just now, most people on the back street had more or less physical reactions, and there was a hint of fear in their eyes when they looked at him. It's calm.

This made him curious about the identities of Ilea and the others.

At this time, a guard hurried over and whispered something in his ear. The captain of the wide-eyed guard changed slightly after hearing this.

"Sir Ferdinand, I didn't know you were here."

"It's okay, I'm just staying here for one night, and I'm leaving the city tomorrow to continue my journey." The head of the Bathory family said.

"I hope you and your people can enjoy your time in Lake City. I still have an errand, so I won't accompany you first."

After speaking, the captain of the wide pupil guard left with the guards and prisoners.

Although there was a small episode, the female lord and her party finally came to the hotel smoothly.

Ferdinand has already covered everything here.

Ilea was tired after driving for a few days, and was about to eat something and go back to her room to rest when she saw Jude coming down from the stairs with a boy about twelve or thirteen years old in his hand.

The latter was struggling violently, and said at the same time, "Let go of me, let me go! I'm not a thief!!!"

"Then do you want to explain why I found you on the wooden shelf behind the windowsill?" Jude said.

"I just took a nap and basked in the sun! That's what I did before you came here. Angie, the owner of the inn, can testify to me. My father is the butcher Harbifer from the butcher shop next door."

After the boy finished speaking, he found that the hotel suddenly fell into a strange silence, and no one spoke for a long time.

"What's the matter?" The young man didn't know which sentence he said wrong, "You guys should say something, I warn you, if I haven't returned home before sunset, my father will go to the security team for help. It's going to be bad luck."

"What should I do?" Jude threw this question to the female lord.

Ilea coughed dryly twice, and before she could speak, she heard a voice, "Please, my lords, please save this child!"

The one who spoke was Angie, the owner of the inn, a dwarf who ran the inn with his wife and two daughters.

"Save me? Why do you want to save me when I'm fine?!" The boy was puzzled, "Uncle Anji, you don't need to beg them, I don't believe they dare to do anything to me in the city in the lake!"

"Shut up, Albus!" The dwarf, who always greeted guests with a smiling face, rarely put on a serious face, and scolded.

After that, he continued to plead with the crowd, "I don't know why the child's father is obsessed with ghosts, but I can guarantee that the child is innocent and he doesn't know anything."

"Who said that, I know a lot!" Albus protested loudly, "I can clean the room, I can make honey apple pie, I can also feed the horses, and in the future I will be a squire of a lord knight!"
