Chapter 1351 Tomb Raiders
At the funeral, the young wife that the old Earl of Benton married in the last days of his life stood at the very edge, looking haggard and pale.
She stood helplessly on the edge of the tombstone, rubbing the obsidian tombstone with her white fingers that were almost translucent, and there was a trace of loneliness in her eyes.
There was a faint wry smile on the corner of her mouth, and a faint self-mockery in her eyes.
Suldak went up and said a few words to the wife of the old Earl Benton, which was nothing more than comfort before leaving. His mother is the first wife of the old Earl of Benton, and he will officially become the patriarch of the Benton family after the funeral, saying that he hopes that Suldak can participate in the power ceremony by then.
Minister Allen Benton's words revealed the meaning of attachment. He knew that in the city of Ruyter, the first nobles who handed out olive branches were the Ludwig family. In just this year, Ludwig Under the protection of Suldak, a lord army formed by the German family has achieved a very good record on the battlefield of the Bailin plane.
The first thing that Minister Alan Benton did after taking control of the Benton family was to hope that he could take the family and tie it to Lord Suldak's big ship.
Suldak smiled and nodded.
A group of people left the cemetery and walked down the stone steps to the foot of the mountain, where everyone's magic caravan was parked.
The wives of the old Earl of Benton and members of his family stood at the gate of the cemetery, bidding farewell to the nobles who attended the funeral. Behind the charming Mrs. Benton stood a few young people from the Benton family, watching They acted frivolously and kept whispering to the young people behind them.
Suldak could see that this charming Mrs. Benton might be the most excluded one, and she was also the most restless one.
He didn't want to provoke this kind of woman, but before leaving, he saw the youngest Mrs. Benton again...
When Suldak left, he nodded slightly to her.
And this young Mrs. Benton seemed to have fallen into a self-enclosed consciousness, standing in the crowd blankly.
……
When walking down the steps, the nobles behind Suldak were also talking in low voices as they walked.
Without knowing it, Suldak, who was more than ten meters away, listened to the conversation between them verbatim.
"It's so pitiful to be a widow at such a young age." The middle-aged nobleman with a hoarse voice sighed and said with a sense of pity. .
"Speaking of which... Old Benton's old age was truly blessed!" Another nobleman also echoed.
But the third one spoke more normally, which made Suldak feel that they hadn't forgotten their noble status after all: "Now that old Benton is gone, Alan should be in charge of the Benton family next. It seems that old Benton is a bit more Not confused, pushing Alan to the position of the logistics minister of Ruyt City, and handing over the Benton family's property to Alan's hands little by little, the current Benton family still has a strong cohesion."
"This time our lord tyrant attended the funeral of old Benton, obviously he wanted to have a closer relationship with the Benton family." The nobleman who liked to go along with him said something.
The hoarse voice suddenly interjected: "What do you think Alan will do with the young widows of old Benton? They have no heirs, will they be driven out of the Benton family?"
The nobleman who spoke normally asked back: "So you want to try the taste of old Benton?"
"Your suggestion...is not impossible." The hoarse voice laughed dryly.
The nobleman who spoke normally interrupted the conversation between the three of them, and said in a teasing tone: "Hey, we haven't left the Benton family cemetery yet. I was so angry that I crawled out from under the tombstone... ran to your house to look for you!"
"..."
After speaking, the three of them laughed softly.
Suldak felt that the worst thing about becoming a rank two powerhouse was that after possessing five senses that surpassed ordinary people, there would always be some whispers and noisy voices inadvertently passed into his ears.
He could hear these words whether he wanted to or not, and some words would be annoying to him, making him want to turn around and pick up a stick and stick it into the hoarse nobleman's mouth.
He was a little curious about the names of the nobles, turned his head and glanced at Sia who was following beside him, and Suldak hesitated to speak.
Holding a parchment note in her arms, Xi Ya took advantage of the time when she was going down the mountain to help her arrange the next itinerary.
This Miss Janna mermaid has to deal with a lot more things than Suldak imagined every day.
The beauty products jointly run by her with Hathaway and Beatrice are almost prepared by her, and she also runs a travel company in her hands, and every tour group needs to be personally reviewed by her. She wanted to turn her share of the proceeds into magic crystals, and let the slave traders buy all of them from the Janna mermaids in the market in Bena City.
As early as last year, Suldak banned the slave trade in Ruyt City and the Ganbu plane, so there is no slave market in Ruyt City.
However, this move did not actually affect the local nobles buying slaves. They often went to the slave market in Lincheng. Therefore, there was a group of underground slave traders in Ruyt City, and Xiya often dealt with them. In this slave trading circle Well, it's no secret that this female assistant under Lord Suldak likes to collect beautiful Janna mermaids.
In addition, Suldak's official duties at the city hall and the meetings that need to be attended by the House of Representatives will be fed back to Xiya first.
For some simple procedural matters, Xi Ya will even sign and hand them over directly.
Only some relatively important things will be fed back to Suldak.
So although Suldak wanted to know the names of the three nobles, he didn't say anything more when he thought that Xiya was so busy.
Back at the city hall, Samira, who hadn’t slept all night last night, was lying on the long sofa in the lounge area of his office to catch up on sleep. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Samira sat up sleepily from the sofa, and walked He went to the tea table beside him and got himself a cup of cold black tea.
Suldak walked in and asked Samira, "How... what did you gain last night?"
Samira was slightly taken aback, stopped holding the teacup, turned to Suldak and asked, "How do you know that I went to investigate last night?"
"Guess, I know you won't leave the question until the next day..." Suldak smiled and threw her a purple fruit, which was similar to a plum, but the taste was more sour and the flesh was a bit crunchy.
Samira easily caught the fruit, held the black tea in one hand, stood in a sunny place by the window, and said, "In fact, nothing was found. The cemetery looks normal, and there are no undead. Breath, even a little too clean..."
Suldak was originally sitting at his desk and began to deal with today's official duties, but he was slightly taken aback when he heard Samira's words.
"Oh? So? What are your plans next?"
"Necromancers are the ones who know the most about necromancers, so I plan to go to the abandoned mine area to ask Naomi for help. Do you think she will help me?" Samira asked Suldak with her hands on the windowsill road.
"It should be!" Suldak was not sure.
"I'm going to find Naomi, and I won't be able to return until tomorrow..."
After speaking, Samira leaned back and fell out of the window. Then she swept across the flower bed like a swift, stood firmly in the courtyard, and walked out of the inner courtyard of the city hall in a few steps...
……
The morning sunlight fell into the room through the gauze curtain blown by the wind.
Beatrice was like an octopus, her white arms and thighs were tightly wrapped around Suldak, the thin white quilt had already slipped to the floor, and there was only the sound of even breathing in the room.
There was a sudden knock on the bedroom door.
Suldak woke up from his sleep, and carefully moved Beatrice's arm away. Then Suldak put on his pajamas and walked to the door. When he opened the door, he saw Sia, and Carrie Decker was standing there. Beside Ya, looked at Suldak a little embarrassedly, and before Suldak could speak, Carrie Decker whispered to Suldak: "Boss, last night, old Earl Benton His body was stolen..."
Suldak's drowsiness dissipated in an instant, and he asked:
"When did this happen?"
Carrie Decker said hastily:
"It should be midnight. The gravekeeper in the cemetery yelled when he heard the dogs barking outside, and ran outside to check the situation. He saw a few gravediggers sneaking in. Waiting for him to signal and call Benton The guards of the manor and the gravediggers hurried away. When he checked the cemetery, he found that the grave of the old Earl Benton who had just been buried had been dug up, and the coffin was gone!"
Suldak turned around and took the leather jacket from the hanger, put it on, and took Carrie Decker to the living room.
"Tell me about the specific situation."
Chapter 1352 Investigation
The Benton family in Ruyt City can be considered a rich and noble family if it goes back a few decades. The family has thousands of lords and private troops.
The nobles of Ruyt City have different opinions about how the Lord Army of the Benton family disappeared. Some people say that after the old Benton discovered that Lord MacDonnell had the idea of defecting to the Grimm Empire, he disbanded the Lord Army on the spot. , Some people say that Lord MacDonnell incorporated this army.
The Benton family did not choose to join Lord MacDonnell's rebel army. If they wanted to live under Lord MacDonnell's nose in Ruyt City, they could not have too many Lord Army.
This is how the Benton family survived the Battle of Tarapagan by maintaining a neutral attitude.
If anyone thinks that the Benton family's heritage has been hollowed out, it is a big mistake.
This aristocratic family can last hundreds of years in the empire, and the family is destined to hide some secrets.
The history of the Benton family can be traced back to the beginning of the establishment of the Grimm Empire. The ancestor of the Benton family was a great swordsman in the Constructed Swordsman Group of the first Duke of Newman.
He was wounded in the battle and returned home, and later settled in Ruyt City.
Hundreds of years passed in a flash. Although the Benton family has not produced a highly talented swordsman in these years, there are people who can become construct swordsmen in each generation, so the Benton family can continue.
……
The old servant who guards the Benton family cemetery is not some hidden master.
He is just a male servant who is brave enough to live in the cemetery. He lives in the cemetery because there is basically no need to do any work here. It is far more comfortable than in the manor. The time is basically in his own hands and he lives more casually. be more sexual.
In order to avoid mistakes, these gravediggers also arranged a soothing magic circle around the cemetery guard's hut. Although this magic circle is not like those magic barriers that can isolate all sound and light outside the barrier, it can play a very strong sleep aid. Effect, that is to say, if someone is affected by the soothing magic circle at night, they will soon fall asleep.
The group of tomb robbers never thought that although they put the tomb guards into a deep sleep, they tried to steal the coffin without anyone noticing.
But it happened that a dog who accompanied the gravekeeper to guard the cemetery discovered them, and then barked in front of the gravekeeper's house.
Originally, the grave robber wanted to sneak into the gravekeeper's room and stab the old servant to death with a sword, but the first thing the gravekeeper did when he walked out of the room was to release a magic flare into the night sky. The survivors fled the cemetery in a hurry.
The knight guards of the Benton family who arrived later discovered that the body of Earl Benton had been stolen, and immediately reported it to Minister Alan Benton.
The news also reached Carrie Decker before dawn.
Carrie Decker originally wanted to deal with it himself, but thinking that Suldak attached great importance to the necromancer last night, he ran to Ruyt Castle in person and reported the news to Suldak.
……
Hearing Carrie Decker's detailed account of last night, Suldak sat on the sofa and took a cup of milk tea brought by the maid.
He said to Carrie Decker: "I guess you haven't had breakfast yet, why don't you just have some with me."
"Okay!"
In the restaurant, the maid brought warm white towels.
Carrie Decker sat on a chair, wiped his face and hands with a towel, and then imitated Suldak's action, tearing up a piece of wheat cake and putting it into a large bowl. Leigh Decker was a little confused, and then the maid brought a large pot of boiling hot broth and placed it on the dining table.
Seeing Suldak's signal, he poured the milky white boiling broth on top, until the pieces of boiled rotten meat piled up on the scones. Suldak also added a touch of fine salt to his bowl.
Then, holding the huge soup bowl, with a silver spoon, he snorted and sent the soup cakes to his mouth.
Carrie Decker was not as picky as Samira, so he ate a big bowl with Suldak.
Xi Ya walked in from the outside and said to Suldak: "The magic caravan is ready."
Suldak saw that Carrie Decker had also finished eating, so he stood up and said, "Then let's go out of the city and visit the cemetery!"
When he walked to the door of the restaurant, he turned to Carrie Decker and asked, "Is Samira back?"
"Not yet..." Carrie Decker replied.
Suldak told Siya: "Send someone to Mucuso to call Edgar over, and ask him to come to the Ruyt City Guard Camp to organize his daily work immediately. His one-day vacation is over."
Xi Ya immediately ran out quickly again.
Carrie Decker said somewhat unnaturally: "Sorry, boss, I didn't manage the guard camp well."
Seeing that Carrie Decker looked a little depressed, Suldak put his hands on the shoulders of the tall female warrior, and said to her with a smile:
"What does this have to do with you? I just think this matter may not be as simple as it appears on the surface. Next, you and Samira will investigate this matter. If necessary, you can call Gulitum over at any time."
Saying that the two had already walked down the steps of the castle, Suldak took the lead in boarding the magic caravan, and told the coachman:
"Go to the Benton family's cemetery first."
The coachman waved his whip and made the magic caravan circle around the pool in the front courtyard before driving towards the gate.
Just when the carriage was about to drive out of the courtyard, Xi Ya rushed to catch up from behind. When she was running, she stepped on a wave with every step, as if something was supporting her to gallop forward.
This is the water-type magic of the Janna tribe, 'Treading the Waves', which Xiya uses very skillfully.
When Xi Ya got into the compartment of the magic caravan, the coachman raised his whip again, urging the two Gu Bolai horses to move forward.
……
In Ruyt City in the early morning, there were very few magic caravans on the street. The magic caravan of Suldak galloped all the way out of the city and headed north all the way to the cemetery in the south of the Benton family territory.
At this moment, thousands of lord's private soldiers gathered around the foot of the cemetery, and these lord's soldiers were eating breakfast.
From a distance, Suldak saw Alan Benton resting on the steps with a tired face. He stepped off the magic caravan and came to Alan Benton. At this time, Earl Alan Benton His confidant pushed him awake and reminded him in his ear: "My lord, Mr. Carrie Decker, the consul of Suldak and chief of the guard, is here."
Alan Benton woke up suddenly, his eyes were bloodshot, tired and anxious.
Suldak immediately went up, reached out and patted his arm, comforting him: "Don't worry, this time I will personally watch this matter, and I will definitely find out the truth..."
Earl Allen Benton showed gratitude.
"Did your people find any clues?" Suldak asked Alan Benton.
Earl Allen Benton shook his head with a gloomy expression.
Chapter 1353 Viscount Du Wei
Suldak walked towards the cemetery and walked along the stone steps to the cemetery halfway up the mountain. The old servant of the Benton family who guarded the tomb sat at the entrance of the cemetery with a somewhat listless expression. The place was already guarded by the knights of the Benton family. Surrounded by a crowd, no excited expressions could be seen on the faces of the knights, and Suldak knew that the group of knights hadn't gained anything after working hard all night.
Carrie Decker and Sia accompanied Suldak, followed by a squad of constructed knights.
Suldak walked towards the old servant who guarded the tomb, and a dead dog lay in front of him. The dog's neck was pierced by a sharp arrow, and the exposed blood had already congealed from the wound, which could be seen by the tomb guard. The old servant had a deep relationship with the dog. He sat at the gate of the cemetery, staring at the dog's body without saying a word.
