Great Nobleman

After the banquet was over, the group bid farewell to the people from the Judiciary of Mana City and returned to the hotel where they were staying.

And around the same time, something was just getting started.

At the moment when the moon in the sky passed over the atrium, Brand, who was a little sleepy, put down the wreckage of the magic crossbow in his hand.

Because there is no "recovery potion" like the teacher's.

If he doesn't sleep at night, he still has some low energy.

However, now there is no need to stay up all night.

The specific function of each part of the magic crossbow has been basically researched by him.

It has to be said that the technical content of this thing is quite high.

Brand also didn't know whether the library could carry out counterfeiting.

There is no problem in the field of the rune circle.

However, other fields cannot be guaranteed.

In addition, this thing can be regarded as a reference for him to simplify the magic force field of the wind element.

The magic version of the Wind King incarnation also has a clear research direction.

Just as Brand was thinking about follow-up research matters.

He suddenly felt heavy and dense footsteps coming from the street outside the window.

In doubt, Brand came to the window.

—I saw a group of heavily armed soldiers patrolling along the street.

After blinking suspiciously, Brand glanced at other places in the city.

What surprised him was:

Many areas in Mana City are brightly lit.

—Is something wrong?

Lying on the wooden window sill, while looking around.

Finn's voice suddenly reached his ears:

"Brand? You still haven't rested so late?"

Brand followed the sound and saw on the window sill not far from the side:

Finn, who was wearing pajamas with a sleepy face, exposed half of his body, and was looking at him in surprise.

Suddenly hearing Finn's question, Brand wanted to say something like "just woke up" in order to make himself appear more gregarious.

But after looking at the uniform on his body, he shrugged helplessly and explained:

"There are a lot of things recently, so I'm busy."

Hearing this, Finn said with emotion:

"You really deserve to be a hard-working Brand! Unlike me, I have been resting for a long time."

Hearing what Finn said, Brand couldn't help feeling a little envious.

——He also wants to rest early!

While the two were chatting, another group of heavily armed soldiers walked along the street.

As if sensing their gazes, the leading soldier reminded:

"Martial law in the city, irrelevant personnel should not go out at will!"

After saying this, without waiting for the two to respond, the soldiers continued to move forward with their hands.

After watching the pair of patrolling soldiers walk away.

Finn scratched his head and said:

"Let's go to Howard and ask him. With such a big movement, he should have woken up."

...

After a period of time, the Guangjiao Secret Society and the Master Academy who came to carry out the task gathered in the lobby of the hotel.

— Howard was not at the inn.

Informed by the clerk of the hotel:

Before the martial law in Mana City, he had already been awakened by his companions, and then went to the Judiciary's station to stand by.

Because this hotel is also one of the properties of the Judiciary, they also learned part of the current situation from the clerk:

Several towns in the southern part of the empire, near the border, were attacked by unknown bandits.

Not long ago, local lord Samir Coburn decreed:

Cockburn puts all towns and cities under siege!

After learning this fact, Tinian was a little puzzled and said:

"Didn't the bandits just be wiped out? Could it be that there is also a problem with the large war circle of the Kaya Empire? There are also bandits that have not been detected?"

Finn shook his head and said:

"I think the bandits who attacked the town should have come from abroad. Their purpose may be to avenge yesterday's incident."

Seeing doubts on Tienian's face, Finn further explained:

"Our Kaya Empire has always suspected that the bandits we wiped out before were not pure bandits.

The more likely situation is that because we are about to start a pioneering war, there are other forces who want to hinder us and drag our energy. "

Hearing that there was such an inside story, Tinian couldn't help frowning slightly.

At this time, Javier also said:

"If it involves a clear conflict of interest between countries, we will not participate in it until we receive clear instructions from the upper echelon of the Light Church Secret Council.

So if there are related actions in the future, I'm afraid we won't be able to participate in it. "

Hearing this, Finn quickly waved his hands and said:

"You think too much, it's not up to us little shrimps to take care of this matter, we just need to stay in the hotel."

After a little silence, Tinian spoke again:

"Aren't those bandits in collusion with the undead? You Kaya Empire can seize this matter and summon allied countries to attack each other, can't you?"

After hearing Tianian's suggestion, Finn shook his head regretfully and said:

"Although things are indeed as you said, the premise of this is that we know who the other party is and provide evidence that the other party has colluded with the undead.

Now those undead who run the black market have fled the Kaya Empire.

In addition, according to Howard, yesterday morning, the bandit grand knight was finally killed by the noble family heads instead of being captured.

From this point of view, the other party may have carefully eliminated all things that might reveal their identity. "

After hearing Finn's explanation, Tianian nodded suddenly.

——Knowing that the identity of the other party is in doubt, the noble patriarchs are of course more willing to capture the other party than to kill them!

Under such a premise, the bandit grand knight was still killed, which actually explained some problems.

——The great knight was unwilling to be captured without a fight, he guarded the secret with his life!

——To allow people at the level of the Great Knight to use their lives to protect the secrets, the entire human alliance is probably only possessed by forces such as the Empire with such ability and courage!

There are only so many empires in the Human Alliance. Judging from this, the senior management of the Kaya Empire may have been suspicious for a long time, but it has not been fully confirmed yet.

At this time, listening to the chatting of several people, Brand couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Compared to Finn Javier and others, he knows a little more.

——The undead who presided over the black market did not escape from the Kaya Empire, but was captured by him, and is now under the control of the Kaya Empire's Military Affairs Department.

In addition, according to the results of the interrogation by the Department of Military Affairs, although the undead also realized that the person they cooperated with was not an ordinary person, they did not know the specific identity of the other party.

Again, very likely things are:

Those bandits and the forces behind them should not know the identities of these undead black market personnel.

—— Colluding with the undead is a serious crime in the Farnese Continent, and it will be hated by all races and countries!

From this point of view, it is unlikely that the other party will cooperate with the other party even if they know the identity of the other party's undead.

Finally, to sum it up, their Kaya Empire has actually secretly grasped the "evidence" that the other party has colluded with the undead, but they just don't know who the other party is!

If yesterday morning's fight didn't get the information they wanted.

Now is a great opportunity to make amends!

Of course, although this is the case, they must also be able to seize this opportunity.

——When the opponent is also a human empire, they may not be able to get what they want smoothly.
