In fact, I also have a plug-in

Maxim and Rex returned to the residence. Before they entered, they saw Captain Locke standing at the door. He seemed to be waiting for them. When he saw them coming back, he said that he was going to leave for the imperial capital and left. Crazy, but calm down gives a creepy feeling.

"Captain Locke walked out of the blow? His expression just now was a bit creepy." Thinking back on Maxim, I felt goosebumps were about to pop out.

"I don't know." Rex stared at the direction where Captain Locke left, narrowed his sharp eyes slightly, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Captain Locke, who had calmed down, didn't ask where the rest of them were going. Obviously, he should know the reason himself, and they left Sag City that day.

Because there were only the three of them left, the journey went smoothly, neither too fast nor too slow. After more than half a month, they finally returned to the capital of St. Laner.

Saint Laner is the imperial capital of the Arthur Lanka Empire. The Arthur Lanka Empire is the largest country in the continent of Azeroth, and it is also the largest and most prosperous city in the continent of Azeroth. The headquarters of the Master Guild was established here, and the headquarters of some famous chambers of commerce were also established in the imperial capital, which can be described as extremely prosperous.

It was the first time for Maxim to come to the Imperial Capital of St. Laner, and he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes. He thought that Sag City was already big enough, but he didn't expect that the Imperial City of St. Laner was even bigger. It was not enough to describe it as spectacular.

After entering the city, they didn't have time to visit, and Captain Locke took them to a place directly.

Because the imperial capital of St. Laner is too large, they rented two griffins near the city gate. The griffins flew over the imperial capital. At a glance, they still couldn't see the end of the imperial capital, but the vastness of the imperial capital of St. Laner could be seen.

Glancing down from above, Maxim could not help but marvel at the magnificence of the imperial capital again. All he could see were beautiful and majestic buildings and criss-crossing bustling streets.

The speed of the Griffin is very fast, and the huge city gate can't be seen in the blink of an eye. The cloud and fog cover the sight, and the buildings and signs in front of it can't be seen. Maxim doesn't know where Captain Locke is going to take them, and he has no idea. He couldn't help asking Rex, he and Rex were riding a griffin, and Captain Locke was on the griffin in front.

"Where are we going?" The voice of the maxim was blown away by the wind, and Captain Locke in front couldn't hear it, but it drifted into Rex's ears in bits and pieces.

"The Strachey family, Carlos' family, are also the masters behind the Black Wolf mercenary group." But it's no secret, it's just a tacit understanding.

"Is it because of Carlos' death?"

Rex nodded and said: "Carlos' father is the head of the Strachey family, and also a duke proclaimed by His Majesty the Emperor, and Carlos' mother is a princess who is favored by the royal family. As their son, Carlos is in St. The status of Laner's imperial capital is second only to the prince and princess. His death is naturally a major event. Not only the Strachey family attaches great importance to it, but the royal family also attaches great importance to it. What's more, the people who died include Ariel and Sein. Their family status is only Second only to the Strachey family, Ariel is an only child."

Maxim has a feeling of being knocked out.

Although he knows that their identities are very unusual, but as a murderer, can you stop saying such serious words with such an expression that it seems that their death has nothing to do with you, and you will face being killed by you later. Don't the relatives of the dead feel pressured? He, who is not a murderer, has a little pressure.

Maxim was overwhelmed by Rex's composure. He knew that this guy was not human, but he still underestimated him.

"Do you think Carlos' father will suspect us?" he asked in a low voice.

"Yes." Rex replied without hesitation.

It is impossible for Strachey's Patriarch to believe that his son will die so easily based on a few words. The suspicion is certain, but it is only suspicion.

The maxim has a breath taken away by his word, "So what?"

As if aware of his anxiety, Rex seldom comforted him, "Don't worry, just follow what we said before, and I will make other arrangements."

Maxim stared at his face, as if he wanted to see a little problem from his expression, so as to prove whether he was really sure, but Rex's facial paralysis was not developed overnight, so it was not so easy for him to see it , In the end, I had no choice but to trust him based on past experience. From the beginning of knowing him, Rex seemed to have a well-thought-out plan for everything, and this time should be no exception.

Half a day later, they finally saw the house of the Strachey family. It was a huge building, as gorgeous as a palace, covering an area of ​​more than ten thousand mu, which was amazingly vast.

There are few people here, and the nearby streets are empty. This is because the royal palace is located to the north of the imperial capital of St. Laner, and noble families like Strachey are also located in the north. The reason why the royal palace cannot be seen is that It's just because the territory of the imperial capital of St. Laner is too vast. Only one north, its area is several times that of a Sag city.

Because they were about to approach the Strachey family, griffins were not allowed to fly in the sky, so they landed at the nearest place, and then they had to take a carriage there, otherwise they would have to walk for half a day.

Captain Locke was in the same carriage with them, Maxim didn't dare to talk to Rex again, and fell silent for a while, only hearing the sound of vehicles rolling over the ground outside.

Just as he was about to arrive, Captain Locke suddenly said, "When you see the Duke, remember not to talk nonsense."

Maxim was stunned, looking at Captain Locke's warning gaze, with a hint of sharpness and a threatening tone, he suddenly understood a little bit, it seemed that Captain Locke hadn't given up yet.

He didn't respond, and neither did Rex, as if he didn't hear him.

A hint of anger flashed in Captain Locke's eyes, and he wanted to say something, but he seemed to be hesitant, and finally said nothing with a sullen face until the carriage stopped.

The destination has arrived.

The news of their return had already reached the ears of the Duke, and the entourage of the Duke stood at the door with a haughty expression, as if they didn't pay attention to them, they glanced at them lightly, and took them in after asking their identities.

The size of the Strachey family can only be known by going in and walking through it. Once they entered the gate, they took a carriage again. After a while, they stopped. The attendants led them to a yard and asked them to wait outside, and then went in to report Well, the lord duke didn't make them wait for too long, it was about his son's affairs, how could he not care, and soon the attendants came out to tell them that the lord duke let them in.

The three of them followed the entourage to the study of the Duke.

Maxim finally saw the duke who was rumored to be second only to the king and prince of the Arthur Lanka Empire. This duke was very tall and mighty. The person in front of him instantly became shorter. It is said that he is still a powerful swordsman.

"Patriarch, people have been brought here." The entourage looked respectful.

The Duke waved him to go down, and looked at Captain Locke after his followers had left. The misty anger in his eyes made the Locke group feel pressured, and they knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Locke has failed your expectations, please forgive me, Lord Duke."

The attitude of admitting mistakes is very good, so that I thought he would play tricks on their motto, and thought he was wrong.

The Duke suddenly swept the book on the table at Captain Locke heavily. He didn't hide his anger, turned around and said angrily: "Lock, what did I say when I handed Carlos to you, I told you to protect him. As for his safety, what did you do to let him die tragically in Tasha Forest, it was a waste of my trust in you, you let me down so much."

"The duke wants to punish Locke. Locke has nothing to say. This matter is indeed my dereliction of duty, but I have to say something." Locke looked up at Christopher, with a firm expression and a straight back. Very candid.

The Duke looked unpredictable, and the anger on his face had almost subsided at this moment, as if the scene where he almost lost his composure just now was just an illusion, he said: "For the sake of your dedication to work in the past, I will give you a chance to explain. "

Captain Locke didn't say it immediately, he glanced at Maxim and Rex suggestively.

The Duke immediately asked them to wait outside, and the two closed the door and whispered.

Maxim followed Rex out of the study room, and the two stood in the corridor, because there was only a wall separating him, he was afraid of being heard, so he didn't dare to ask Rex, waiting in torment, but luckily Christopher didn't make them wait too long It didn't take long before they were allowed to re-enter.

Captain Locke has changed from kneeling to standing, and his face does not have the previous fear, and he looks at them with slightly complacent eyes.

This scene made Maxim's heart sink. Captain Locke must have said something unfavorable to them. Thinking of the Duke's trust in him, it seems that there is no need to guess whose words he will believe.
