Lord: I have a skill talent tree

Ethan pushed open the door of the captain's room and found several people warming themselves by the fire, drinking tea, talking and laughing, as if they were the masters of the place.

And for some reason, the floor was a mess, with tea and documents scattered all over the floor.

Not only did they wet the carpet, but they also stepped on the documents on the floor at will.

The magician was a middle-aged woman with freckles like a girl on her face. She seemed to be the leader of the group.

Not only did she sit on the chair that Ethan usually sat on, but she also pushed all the items on Ethan's desk to the ground, just to place her magic hat.

Ethan frowned when he saw this scene.

However, since they were the Duke of the Northland's men, as the saying goes, the power is stronger than the people, so he didn't say anything.

When the magician saw someone pushing the door in, he thought it was the person he was looking for, so he leaned back in his chair and asked with a smile:

"Ethan Lawson?"

"Yes!" Ethan forced a smile: "Who are you?"

"You don't need to know who we are!" The magician said with disdain: "I ask you, did you kill Darrickan?"

Ethan put his hand on the sword, which was the knight's standard long sword left by Darrickan, and then smiled and said:

"Please answer my question first."

When the three knights saw Ethan put his hand on the sword, they immediately felt nervous and took attacking postures.

The magician still sat leisurely on the chair and said with disdain: "You want to fight in the North?"

Ethan knew that these magicians didn't look down on the knights, and the reason was nothing more than their own strength. If she didn't feel a sense of crisis, she wouldn't talk well.

So he said: "This is my territory. You came to my territory, not telling who you are, and made a mess here. I have reason to suspect that you are bandits.

I think it should be no problem for me to kill a few bandits!

Also, I'll tell you a secret. I have a trick. No matter who it is within ten steps, as long as I draw my sword, he will die.

And you are less than six steps away from me."

Hearing this, the three knights all drew their swords and protected the magician.

And the magician's face turned livid, and his angry eyes were about to spit fire.

"Do you know who you are threatening?" A knight shouted.

"I asked you, but you didn't want to say it, so I had to treat you as bandits." Ethan replied innocently.

The knight was very angry and gnashed his teeth and said: "Seeing the eagles outside, you don't know who we are?"

"The meaning of bandits includes stealing. I think the Duke of the North must have lost a few eagles at home. I have the obligation to return them." Ethan smiled and replied.

"You..."

"Enough!" The knight was interrupted by the magician before he could finish.

She had realized that she couldn't make Ethan surrender with her majesty, so she asked the knights to put away their swords first, and then said with a smile: "My name is Amy, we are from the Military Discipline Special Investigation Team.

Recently, we found that a magician from Baron Fortress was missing, and someone told us that he died in your territory. We need you to give an explanation."

When Ethan heard about the Military Discipline Special Investigation Team, his eyes lit up and he didn't even bother to pretend to smile.

The reason for this is not because the Military Discipline Special Investigation Team is special, and he doesn't even recognize this name.

It's because the names these people reported are not the private knights of the Grand Duke of the North, but such official names.

The fact that they can come on eagles proves that they are definitely members of the Duke's private knights.

One is an official name and the other is a private name. It seems that there is no difference, but the difference is huge.

Ethan knew these nobles too well. Whether it was official or private, they would always report their highest titles to show their nobility.

Compared with the two titles, the latter was obviously more noble.

But they reported the former, which meant that they were not sent by the Grand Duke of the North and deliberately avoided the relationship with the Duke.

In other words, they were probably sent by someone in the Duke's team.

In this case, why should they be treated well?

And they reported the official title, which actually unconsciously indicated that they knew that Darikan was a traitor, at least the person who ordered them to come was clear.

To put it bluntly, it is very likely that the person who ordered them to come here was in the same group as Darikan.

If I guess correctly, it should be Darikan's disappearance that caused the concern of the mastermind behind the scenes.

And by asking the two people who returned from the territory, they knew about Darikan's death, so they sent people to investigate.

However, there is a key question in this conjecture.

That is, why did the mastermind behind the scenes send people to investigate?

This will obviously expose his identity. Does he think I'm an idiot?

Can't he even see this?

Probably not. From the official identities they reported, we know that someone must have told them not to report the title of Duke in advance.

From this point, we can see that he knew his identity might be exposed, but he still wanted to try and hide it.

What made the mastermind behind the scenes risk exposing his identity and still send someone here?

Unless, there is some unspeakable secret about Darrickan.

Ethan suddenly remembered the indestructible armor and immediately realized that these four people were probably just puppets.

So he smiled and said, "If you want to explain, please follow me."

After that, Ethan walked out without looking back.

Ethan walked out of the poop and got off the ship until he reached an open space.

There was no special meaning in coming here, but Ethan felt that these people did not respect him, so there was no need to stay in the warm room to talk about things. Maybe letting them blow the cold wind would make their minds clearer.

And the four people didn't know why, so they followed Ethan all the way to the open space.

When they arrived at the place, they saw that there was nothing around, and they couldn't help but wonder.

The magician stood ten steps away from Ethan and asked in confusion: "You can explain."

Ethan looked at the magician's position and couldn't help but smile: "If you want to explain, then I will explain it to you.

Since you have investigated, you should probably know that Darrickan was killed by me because he attacked my territory.

And that Darrickan, whose original name was Brison Pierre, was also a traitor.

Why did he appear in Baron Fortress?

Why did he pretend to be a bandit and attack my territory?

Have you ever thought about it?

Maybe you should explain it to me."

The magician frowned when he heard it: "I don't know what you are talking about. I only know that you killed a loyal magician. You must give an explanation and return the magician's relics to us."

Although Ethan guessed that these people were just puppets, he still wanted to see how much they knew.

"I've already told you that the traitor disguised himself as a bandit and attacked my territory. He left nothing behind except a corpse."

"Nonsense!" The magician was furious: "My superior clearly told me that Dakrian brought a very important piece of equipment. Although he didn't say what it was, you'd better not think about keeping it. It's our northern equipment."

Ethan looked at the expressions of several people seriously. From their expressions, they didn't seem to know about the armor.

"Who is your superior?" Ethan asked with a smile.

"You don't need to know. As long as you return the equipment, this matter will be forgotten."

"No, no, no! This matter will not be forgotten." Ethan said with a smile: "Your superior is involved in a treason case.

I thought a long time ago that whoever investigates this matter is an accomplice.

I thought you would stop at the internal investigation, but I didn't expect you to find here.

It seems that the staff is more necessary to leave, because it is evidence of your superior's treason.

And you will also be implicated because of your participation."

Ethan deliberately called the armor a staff just to test them again.

But looking at their expressions, they didn't see how worried they were, and it seemed that they really didn't know the truth.

Ethan looked at the leisurely expressions of several people, obviously not realizing the seriousness of the matter, and immediately sneered in his heart, ready to give them some explosive news.
