Victory Utopia

The face with stubble on the chin became panicked after seeing the two people next to the swing.

He was still wearing armor, his boots were covered with dry yellow mud, and there was an obvious mark on the dewy grass.

"Are you really Gordon? Why are you here?" Qin Yu took a step forward. He saw the young knight with red eyes. He was indeed the one who cried and prayed for Margaret in the prayer room just now. .

Gordon looked at the two strangers who suddenly appeared, and suddenly lost the ability to recognize them.Many thoughts flowed rapidly through the mind of this ignorant young man.

Who are they?

A guest at the manor or Miss Beester's brother?So which one is it?

These two people must have discovered that they were here long ago, but they didn't go to the scene to catch themselves. Are they enemies or friends?

Marguerite—yes, I will call her Marguerite, and I hope she won't blame a humble knight like me for calling her that... Will she forgive me for coming here?

Thinking of Margaret's death, he suddenly calmed down, Gordon lowered his lips, frowned fiercely, and stared at Qin Yu and Ge Yin with hatred in his eyes.

Miss Beester's death made him angry, but more impotent.

"Your Excellency, please allow me to introduce myself."

He thought about what Margaret reminded him, and silently said in his heart, "Relax, Gordon, you are a glorious knight. Although you are only an apprentice knight, your family was once very brilliant."

Gordon bowed slightly, with enough etiquette, he hugged his helmet tightly, stood up straight and said: "My name is Gordon Sterling, and my family is—"

"Sorry to interrupt you, Your Excellency, I don't think we have time to give a detailed explanation on this kind of thing."

If he had to, Qin Yu was very reluctant to interrupt others. He was worried that someone would soon find out that Gordon had broken into the manor, which would cause him a lot of trouble.

After all, people from the church will come here this morning to remove Margaret's body.

"My name is Qin Yu, and this is Ge Yin." Qin Yu said, "We won't tell you about your presence here. But correspondingly, I hope you can give us some useful news."

The knight looked at the two of them defensively, and calculated that if he forcibly broke through at this time, he might make a bigger noise. If Mrs. Beester was attracted, he would not be able to tell.

He said nervously, "I don't think there's enough time for small talk."

The slender man smiled lightly, but he was not annoying: "Don't worry, we have the same purpose, and that is for those who left last night."

Gordon thought of the girl wrapped in a gorgeous embroidered blanket, hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Qin Yu led him to the back of the prayer room. There was a good open space here. Unless he came from the prayer room, no one wanted to freely come and go from such deep rose vines.

The flowering period has passed, and only the dense green leaves are draped over the head.

Ge Yin stayed far away, they need to pay attention to whether anyone comes here.

Gordon was dubious about Qin Yu's attitude, he didn't like anyone in the manor: "What do you want to ask?"

There was not enough time, so Qin Yu could only focus on asking questions.

How did he get in?Where did you come here from?

"The current manor has no protection at all, and it can't stop me at all." Gordon snorted: "After I received the news of Miss Bicester's death, I rushed over from the knight guard."

"Who did you hear from?" Qin Yu looked into his eyes, but Gordon glanced away.

"I'm afraid it has nothing to do with you, Your Excellency." Gordon gasped, his face flushed.

"How far is the main city from here?"

"Ninety-five miles, I think, and lost my only horse on the way, but for Miss Bicester, it's not worth it."

Qin Yu was thoughtful, Gordon didn't look like he was lying, but he still saw the clue.

The rose trellis isolated the sunlight, the soil on the ground was damp, and the smell of rotting leaves was not annoying.

The pastures and fields around Bicester were covered with red soil, but Gordon's boots were yellow and dried.

If he came from more than 100 kilometers away, unless he had never stepped on the land of the manor from the time he got on the horse to when he got off the horse, it would be impossible for him not to have touched any wet soil.

Qin Yu couldn't figure it out, but kept this as a suspicious factor, and asked the last question.

"What is your relationship with Margaret?"

Gordon's ears turned red, and he poked his neck to emphasize: "Please call her Miss Beester, and don't use those rumors to damage her reputation. Miss Beester and I are just friends."

"A knight born as a commoner became friends with the Earl's daughter?" Qin Yu folded his hands, the young man's impression from other people's descriptions did not match his impression, his face softened a bit, "It's not impossible, it's just a probability too small."

civilian?

Although he is now separated from the Sterling family, it still doesn't feel good to be called a commoner.

Gordon puffed his cheeks in dissatisfaction: "If there is nothing, please allow me—"

There was a soft sound in the nearby flowers, and a beautiful long-haired cat appeared in the rose vine.

Gordon's words stuck in his throat, and both of them froze in place.

Ge Yin came over, touched Qin Yu with his hand, and said in a low voice, "Someone is coming."

As a result, Qin Yu didn't move, he looked over him, the cat was squatting obediently on the ground, he didn't know where it came from.

Qin Yu likes cats, especially.

This is a British long-haired cat with a bright coat color and looks very soft and easy to touch.

Then Gordon whispered, "This is..."

His eyes became puzzled, and he looked more closely at the sign on the cat's neck.

.

The coat of arms below is the family crest of his Sterling family, and it is unmistakable. This is his mother—Countess Wintney Sterling.

"This is my mother's cat, why is it here?"

Gordon's expression became very exciting, Qin Yu set his eyes on him: "Can you say a few more words?"

Before Gordon could speak, Ge Yin stepped in: "No, someone has already come. If you don't want to be discovered, leave quickly."

Gordon nodded hurriedly. He looked at the cat again. The position of the tip of the tail and the spot on the back was exactly the same as he remembered. This was definitely Luna.

Qin Yu watched Gordon climb out of the fence and disappear into the woods.

The voices were getting closer, Ge Yin grabbed Qin Yu's hand and stared at him: "Will you go?"

Qin Yu regretfully agreed: "Let's go."

The two walked around the corridor and left outside the tall manicured bushes.

At this time, under the rose flower stand, a pair of hands hugged the cat.

The maid hugged the cat and looked at the figure in the woods in the distance. A woman dressed in black and plain was standing in the distance with a small umbrella: "Oh, did you find him?"

Lisa turned around, gently stroked Luna's fur, and sent it to Countess Stirling.

"Yes ma'am, I found him." She took a step back when Madam's hand reached out, showing her Luna's dirty paw.

Lisa said respectfully: "However, his feet are a little dirty, please allow me to clean him up before sending him back to you."

------

When they returned to Room 3, the others had almost woken up, and Qu Shan stood at the entrance of the corridor, as if waiting for them.

She stood there, wearing only a cream vest over her shirt.

Ge Yin passed by her without stopping for a moment, but Qu Shan called him back: "Where did you go so early in the morning? You didn't call us either."

She smiled indifferently, and greeted Qin Yu: "You—"

"Just going out for a walk." Qin Yu said before her.

Qu Shan nodded and said, "I'll see you later."

A few servants came back from the originally deserted manor, but they didn't need to cook by themselves. Baker and Lisa didn't show up, so they should be serving Elizabeth.

The meeting of the seven people is usually held at the dining table, and everyone's complexion is not very good, presumably because of the cult last night.

The doctor asked everyone if they heard a cat meowing outside the house last night.

The boy who was in the same room with him had a lot of bruises under his eyes, but he didn't look too bad. After being denied by everyone, he said: "How is it possible? I've been screaming all night! One night! I'm shutting down now!" When I look at it, I feel that the cat is meowing in my ears, which is annoying."

Qi Minmin picked up a piece of cake and said, "It's not spring anymore, how could there be a cat meowing all night?"

Qi Yaoyao: "Could it be that the seasons here are different from the actual regulations?"

Qin Yu remembered that the old man at home was also in heat before he left, so he kept screaming.

"Sigh, the sterilization operation is really a good thing to benefit the owner." He said to himself.

Seeing that they missed the point at all, the boy said anxiously: "Hey, what are you talking about, shouldn't the strange thing be that only me and grandpa heard it?"

Qu Shan was rarely quiet, she picked up the peas on the plate in silence, and did not join the discussion.

No one spoke, Ge Yin drank the water slowly, and said to the boy: "You guys better be careful."

The boy's face turned ugly.

Abnormal phenomena are often a harbinger of bad things about to happen. In this world, any weird things can happen.

Qin Yu and Ge Yin exchanged glances, and finally Qin Yu said: "Today is the first day of the mission, do you have any opinions on how to find this 'Judas'?"

Last night, everyone witnessed the profound influence of religious thoughts in this period. Although Margaret was a noble daughter, she was still forced to burn to death.

The so-called blackening of the river and the death of cattle and sheep were all brought about by the coming of Satan. None of the people present believed it.But almost all the people here believe in religion, and it is not realistic to try to explain it to them.

There must be a direct reason for those people to force these charges on Margaret.

But to find that "Judas", they have to consider it from a religious point of view.

"Let's think about it, what are the characteristics of Judas." Qin Yu said.

First: Judah betrays the Lord for thirty pieces of silver

Second: Judas occupies a place among the twelve apostles, and the Savior gave him the authority to heal diseases and drive out evil spirits

Third: After Judah kissed the Messiah, he betrayed him

Fourth: Judas most regretted hanging himself to death

At this time, the sunlight happens to come in through the glazed windows, illuminating the interior of the house.

Qin Yu accidentally raised his head, he squinted his eyes when he looked at the top of his head: "That's—"

The next moment, he shouted to everyone: "Get out of the way!"

A huge chandelier fell down.

Everyone couldn't dodge and fell to the ground.

The shards rushed towards them, Qin Yu subconsciously blocked Ge Yin's face, but a crystal shard still stuck into his arm.

Ge Yin narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Yu.

A strange thing happened, the wound healed quickly, only the torn clothes told Qin Yu that there was indeed a piece inserted into his hand just now.

But he didn't care about that, because something even more incredible happened.

The place where the chandelier was hung was gradually restored, and the wall skin seemed to have not received any damage.

"What is this?" the boy asked incredulously.

Ge Yin's eyes turned from Qin Yu's wound to the ceiling, and he frowned.

There appeared a painting that was destroyed in the fire last night——

"Burning in Hell"

But the person in the painting turned into a young girl.
