I suppressed the weirdness in the shelter

Chapter 45 Turning danger into safety
Once inside Winterhold, Wyatt looked around the interior of the fortress.

This place is no different from an ordinary fortress.

The surrounding buildings are not residential houses, and there are no infrastructure such as shops. There are only dormitories with large bunk beds, training grounds with different functions, and various warehouses.

Facilities like these are all that Winterhold Fortress has. It is a perfect military fortress, responsible for protecting the Kingdom of Mayos from the pollution invasion of the Dragon Bone Mountains. Any polluted creature or pagan who attempts to browse here will pay a heavy price.

Even an evil creature will encounter a great disaster here.

As a human being, being surrounded by soldiers from the entire Winterhold Fortress is naturally a very terrifying thing.

But Wyatt was an apostle, and he was not worried about losing his life here. He was definitely not a madman like the pagans who would do something to bring about his own destruction.

Wyatt took out the existing simple ritual from his sea of ​​​​consciousness. He held the ritual array in his palm and then hit it into the ground. The ritual quickly unfolded, covering the entire Winter Castle.

This was a ritual that Wyatt prepared in his spiritual sea during his sleep time after leaving Green Water City. Its effect was equivalent to the detection magic that Wyatt performed in Green Water City.

However, compared to divine arts, the effect of the ritual is more powerful and it is an all-round upgraded version of divine arts.

The reason why Wyatt created this simple ritual was for the current situation. At that time, Wyatt thought he was worrying too much, but now it seems that he was wrong.

The scope of the ritual quickly encompassed the entire Winterhold fortress, and the ripple-like detection swept through Winterhold in circles, and soon found what Wyatt was looking for.

The reaction of the Holy White Stone was in the basement of the Duke's Palace.

As expected, for a serious crime like smuggling the holy white stone, the warehouse used for storage must be strictly selected.

As the principal criminal, it was natural for Duke Raymond to hide him in his own mansion.

But in addition to the holy white stone, Wyatt also sensed other reactions.

A spooky reaction.

Wyatt was very shocked. He really didn't expect that in addition to the holy white stone, there would be something even more explosive in Winterhold.

Does Raymond want to make the entire Conrad family extinct?

Wyatt opened his eyes and was about to get up when he heard a cry of surprise:
"careful!"

Dorothy leaped up and caught an arrow that was aimed at Wyatt.

Before landing, Dorothy gave Wyatt a slap on the head.

"I think your brain is really frozen. This is not in the police station. You are killing yourself by doing this!"

Dorothy tilted her head back and lectured Wyatt. According to normal development, Wyatt would probably cover his head and cry, saying that Dorothy was too cruel.

But he was not like that. He was so calm that Dorothy even wondered if she had missed the target.

Wyatt kept looking behind Dorothy, and following his gaze, Dorothy also saw what Wyatt was seeing.

It's the Duke's Palace.

On the terrace of the Duke's Palace, Duke Raymond threw a bow to his personal guard. It was obvious that he was the one who shot the arrow just now.

"Adela, don't be on guard. The Duke has no intention of killing."

"What do you mean, this is called no intention to kill?"

Adela always maintained the blood wall surrounding the three people, because outside this blood wall, there were circles of soldiers surrounding them.

The soldiers all had their arrows ready to shoot the three men into hedgehogs at any time and anywhere.

"If he really intended to kill, the arrow just now was the signal to release it. It is obvious that he gave other orders and there is a possibility of negotiation."

"...Yes, as you wish."

Adela withdrew the blood wall and stood beside Wyatt.

Seeing that Wyatt had no intention of resisting to the end, the high-ranking Duke Raymond was also ready to negotiate with him.

His loud voice came down from above, and the two seemed to be planning to talk in this way. Wyatt knew very well that this was a test from Duke Raymond.

As early as the carriage arrived at Winterhold, Wyatt had doubts. Did everyone in Winterhold know about the Holy White Stone? If someone let it slip, the Conrad family would suffer, and even the entire Winterhold would be put on trial. When Wyatt saw the scene between Mike and the soldiers guarding the city, he was completely sure that only a few people in Winterhold knew about the existence of the Holy White Stone.

Therefore, at this moment, he must not question Duke Raymond in public, otherwise he would definitely kill him. Then Wyatt could escape by himself, but Dorothy and Adela would be in danger.

"Captain Wyatt, why did you break into Winterhold?"

"There are some things I want to discuss with Duke Raymond."

"Then there's no need to make such a big fuss."

"'Wyatt Owen is mentally ill', this is something that all the nobles in Mayos know. I don't believe you haven't heard of this."

"Haha, since you want to talk to me, then come up... As for those two fallen ones, lock them up in the dungeon first."

"Huh?! You said..."

"Dorothy, Adela." Wyatt instructed the two before leaving, "There are things in the dungeon that I need you to keep an eye out for. This is an opportunity. You can resist when there is danger."

Adela nodded decisively and agreed, while Dorothy swallowed her anger with difficulty and stomped her feet so hard that several cracks appeared on the ground.

Led by his personal guards, Wyatt entered the Duke's Mansion and went all the way up to Duke Raymond's reception room.

Food had been prepared on the coffee table in the reception room. It was very surprising that there were desserts, which was rare in a military fortress, unless there were high-ranking officials who loved to eat them.

Wyatt didn't pay too much attention to dessert, after all, it was time to talk business.

He sat down opposite Duke Raymond. In the entire reception room, besides Wyatt and Raymond, there were two confidants. It was obvious that they were also among those who knew about the Holy White Stone.

Seeing that Duke Raymond was willing to talk, Wyatt got straight to the point.

"Duke Raymond, I hope you can explain why Winterhold is hiding the Holy White Stone."

Duke Raymond had anticipated Wyatt's question.

"Director Wyatt, where do you think this batch of holy white stones came from?"

"The Fourth Fallen Asylum."

"I admire you. It seems that your sudden visit to the Wasteland Territory is not accidental. You are more powerful than your predecessors."

"Forget the compliments. I need an explanation."

Wyatt seemed like a different person at this moment. Even the two confidants who had fought against the contaminated creatures many times were shocked by Wyatt's momentum and looked embarrassed.

It seemed that the person sitting opposite was not a human, but an evil creature.

Fortunately, their loyalty prevented them from running away, as they firmly believed that their master, Duke Raymond, could handle the situation.

"Director Wyatt, the Holy White Stone came from the Fourth Institute. This is the Fourth Institute's negligence. If it is exposed, you will not be able to escape responsibility."

"You think I'm afraid?"

This seemed like a funny joke to Wyatt.

Indeed, Raymond also felt that he was a little panicked and at a loss.

How could a defendant who was acquitted in a trial supervised by "Order" be afraid of such things? Even if it was a fallen person he cared about, perhaps he could protect him.

You know, to be declared not guilty by "order" requires more than just innocence.

But fortunately, he is a person who cares about the fallen.

"The reason why Winterhold secretly keeps the Holy White Stone is because there is a demand for it."

"In the dungeon, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's in the dungeon, someone who needs the Holy White Stone."
