Chapter 25, clues to the second Divine Item

In Holy Empire, there are a total of three systems responsible for maintaining civil order and civil disputes.

Church Judge Magistrate and high-ranking arbitrators, arbitrators, demonhunters, etc. are responsible for handling foreign forces’ activities and religious-related disputes.

The Supreme Court of the Holy Empire and the Principality Courts, District Courts and Circuit Courts handle lawsuits.

The knight is responsible for maintaining public order and social security, protecting social public interests, and safeguarding national interests by means of guidance, service, coercion, and punishment.

Undoubtedly, if there is no proof that the Sofa Tibetan case involves a cult or an internal religious dispute, the tribune Knight is naturally solely responsible.

In this world, the military and police system has not yet developed to the point of separation. The civilian knight is a small number of professional knights who are selected to be responsible for patrolling and handling various cases. Don’t underestimate this position, this position In fact, it is very popular with professional knights, because in addition to receiving an extra salary, the knight’s officer also means power, and also means an ascending channel.

Do a good job in major and serious cases, and have the opportunity to go directly to Tianting (at the office of the great priest Cecilia).

Since Cecilia’s return from the Void Realm to cast Holy Throne, she has also used a forceful hand to overhaul the existing system of Holy Empire, due to her unquestioned authority and unique status as Holy Throne Supreme , Holy Empire admits from top to bottom that she has the most expert appointment and dismissal power over these three systems, which makes the three systems become much more clean and efficient.

For example, the Sir Houghton in front of Sid, this tribune Knight is serious, responsible, efficient and not very pretentious. He is known as “Houghton Uncle” on Baden Street. He also takes the regular money, but he never runs away from the things he should manage, so the residents and traders on this street like him very much. When he patrols the street, he can often get some small gifts from the merchants. Like to join in the fun.

Before Sid liked Sir Houghton’s business skills very much, and now he wished Houghton was an Old Guy in his fifties who was about to retire!

Especially after hearing his name, Sid’s face immediately turned ugly, and he quickly looked around to see if anyone noticed.

Fortunately, it was noon at this time, and the blacksmith master and apprentices had temporarily left work for lunch, and there was no one around.

With some time left, Sid calmed down and continued to stop and listen, not intending to miss any news.

“Sid? How?!” Old Ma’s voice was amazed.

“Look, old Mark, this is Sir Hoffman’s relic we found. In his diary and working notes, one person is mentioned over and over again, and that is the mercenary middleman Sid. Sir Houghton’s attitude is firm: “It can be seen that Hoffman seems to be monitoring Sid all the time, and he has a lot of complaints in his notes, so Sid is the murderer with the greatest probability. You are familiar with Sid. Has he had any strange behavior recently? And strange behavior?”

“Um…speaking of which is a bit, one night Sid came to me out of the blue, he looked flustered, like he had committed some major event and wanted to hide with me Hide.” Old Ma was silent for more than a minute, and then said in a dry voice: “I asked him what was wrong, and he said he killed!”

“Yes, this one , this is it, can you elaborate?” Sir Houghton’s voice immediately turned into excitement: “That’s right, Old Ma, on behalf of the Helvetia Kingdom Council and Hoffman’s family, I am grateful for your help! Did Sid explain? The process of committing the crime?”

“The process of committing the crime?” Old Ma’s voice felt a little hesitant: “He didn’t tell me more, he just told me that he killed someone and needs a place to hide. Hide, he did ask me to send someone to investigate Hoffman, which our apprentice can testify.”

“Well, go on, what did he tell you to investigate?” Sir Houghton said slightly. Disappointed.

“About over a week ago…” Old Ma had just started speaking, when Sir Houghton interrupted rudely: “Wait, over a week ago, are you sure?”

“Yes, It happened more than a week ago.” Old Ma finally reacted: “But didn’t Hoffman happen yesterday afternoon?”

“Damn!” Sir Houghton also realized the problem: “The time is right. No!”

“Why can’t you?”

“My hammers searched for Sid’s whereabouts overnight last night, and Sid himself appeared in Zell at dusk yesterday. The town of Matt, the whole town can testify, especially if there is a family who is willing to swear to Jupiter.” Sir Houghton was full of annoyance: “There were no giant flying objects yesterday, can that boy Sid still fly over?”

“So he didn’t do it?”

“Your Majesty Cecilia is not far from here, we arrest someone to tell evidence, if Sid is a Sivis Seus, it doesn’t matter, But he is obviously the Iquis descendant of bloodline atavism, and this kind of person can’t be locked up and tortured first.”

“No, when will this case be solved, now people are alarmed, Don’t interfere with my business!”

“What are you doing, I’m in trouble! The Kingdom Council will only give me two weeks, two weeks!”

The two people in the house both Disappointed, even if Sid had a horse, it would take half a day to travel from Zermatt to Helvetia. Sid was always impossible, right?

The people outside the house didn’t listen any more, and Sid took a chance to dodge over the smithy wall and disappeared on the street corner.

The sun is so big, so dazzling.

The young white-haired teenager looked a little drowsy. He strolled for several minutes on the crowded Rizlan Street, trying to relieve the cold emanating from deep in one’s heart through the lively scene.

Sid knew that he would probably never go to Old Ma’s blacksmith’s guild again.

He admits that Old Ma’s choice is not a big problem. Although Old Ma’s blacksmith guild is also open to mercenary ordinary persons, the biggest source of income to maintain the entire blacksmith guild still comes from official orders. As a wealthy Sivis class, this guy has been active in Rizlan as the master of the blacksmith guild for generations. His industry is rooted in Rizlan, and everything he has is given by the kingdom or even the Holy Empire.

In this case, the choice Old Ma would make is self-evident.

He could understand that Old Ma would make such a choice, but he was still very sad. The eternal divine choice of the ring god suddenly realized a problem: the answer he got from the elder sister before was too much. The beauty caused him to have a fantasy about reality and his situation, and the fantasy that someone would understand him and help him.

His reason told him that this was an impossible thing. The prophecy of the Seven Seals began to spread throughout the continent under the propaganda of the Church of the Gods in Heaven shortly after the first Holy Falcon Emperor stepped into the Void Realm for the second time. Almost everyone believed this prophecy.

Sid also doesn’t like to deceive others. Old Ma has helped him a lot, but he has a wife and children, relatives and friends, and hundreds of employees around him. His business depends on Rizlan and even the entire Holy Empire system, it’s understandable that he would do this.

Like what is the proudest thing about Old Ma? It’s that no one in their family has entered the game for more than 200 years.

Yes, but why does it feel so uncomfortable?

Walking in the crowd of Rizlan, I saw young mercenaries in groups of three or four talking and laughing together, watching several mercenaries who successfully completed the commission are discussing where to celebrate, watching The vendors hawking on both sides of the street, Sid could feel that he was out of tune with them.

The words of the Ring God echoed in Sid’s ears.

Sid -Boren, from this moment you will be against the world!

Want power?

This is the price!

In her heart, Sid silently crossed out the names in her friend list.

In the end, there are only three people left on the list, including the elder sister, and Sid is sure that only these three people are the people he can trust.

Without thinking about it, Sid switched to a blacksmith shop, handed over the equipment to them for maintenance using an anonymous identity, bought some fresh fish, meat and vegetables, and quickly returned to Kram Street 12. No.

With the sound of the room door closing, Sid let out a sigh of relief.

I’m safe, for now.

“Xiao Xi, are you back?” The elder sister’s voice came from the kitchen, Elustias had woken up, and she was preparing dinner.

Pushing open the door of the kitchen, the hot air asserts the senses, the elder sister Elustias is standing in front of the cooking pot, holding a large spoon, seasoning, a light blue The apron draped over the elder sister’s chest, tightly wrapping her tall and plump body.

Proudly plump and towering, holding up the white shirt bulging, it seems that as long as a deep breath can stretch the button of the shirt, under the slender waist is a short skirt and dark brown velvet Beautiful legs in stockings, petite jade foot stepping on a pair of fluffy slippers, snow-white skin like a line under the semi-transparent brown stockings, straight calves and small arches draw a beautiful arc, especially at the heels. The snow white exposed at the tight part and the faint wrinkle at the ankle show the gentleness of the master.

“Xiao Xi, are you back? It will take a while for the beef to be ready!” Seeing Sid coming back, the elder sister happily said with a spoon in her hand, “Sit down for a while.”

“I’m here to help.” Sid didn’t sit and wait for food like many machos, he had no reason to let the elder sister pay unconditionally, and came to the elder sister’s side to help her handle the ingredients.

“Is everything done?” The elder sister’s black pearl-like eyes were filled with the shadow of her younger brother, she looked at it for a while, and then said, “I can accompany the elder sister well. Have you had a meal yet?”

Fortunately, I still have an elder sister, who assumes the senses is the smell of the food and the faint heat, and a faint smile appeared on Sid’s originally lost face.

“Things are terrible.” Sid stood beside the elder sister and told the elder sister what she had seen and heard.

Seeing the white-haired young man’s expression is bleak, as if he was arched over by a mammoth, Elustias also lowered her head, and her black bangs blocked her face: “Didn’t I say so? Xiaoxi? Sunlight belongs to everyone. Here in the elder sister, you are the light of the elder sister, but you must not think like this in others, you are not the only of others, never feel that you are the only of others , this will hurt others, and even hurt yourself.”

“I know, I’m just a little sad, I can understand, really, I can understand.” Sid also lowered his head for a few seconds After planting, Sid raised his head and asked, “How was the life of elder sister before?”

“Before meeting Xiaoxi, elder sister lived no different from death, sometimes elder sister I really think it’s better to die.” The elder sister was full of loneliness.

“What about before? Does the elder sister have no family or friends?” Sid was curious now.

“No, elder sister only has Xiaoxi!”

“Liar.” Sid squinted at elder sister, and the boy put on an expression of disbelief.

“How about Xiaoxi pretending that she was cheated by the elder sister?” Elus pursed her lips and snickered, and the dull hair on her head swayed back and forth. It was obvious that the elder sister was in a happy mood: “Fake stupid, elder sister is in charge of complaining!”

“That’s not right.” Sid’s mood was finally much better after being teased by elder sister like this.

“Wu! Since Xiaoxi was promoted to Paragon Rank, elder sister always feels that you are deliberately alienating me.” Elustias said a little unhappily: “Did you find it outside? Girlfriend?”

“It’s just a mercenary with a knife head licking blood, how can I find a girlfriend.” Sid shook the head: “It’s mainly to save more money.”

“Xiao Xi must not learn badly, the women outside are very dirty.” Elusi put her hands on her hips and leaned forward to issue a justice warning. Her extremely wealthy justice also issued a warning along with her master. .

“Okay, okay, okay.” Sid said he knew.

The elder sister just gave up.

The beautiful white-haired boy knew in his heart that in the past two years, he had intentionally alienated his elder sister.

After all, he’s getting older and his body has grown, and some of the previous intimate behaviors have become inappropriate.

He deliberately changed the topic: “It’s delicious, elder sister’s roast beef is getting better and better.”

“Elder sister has been practicing all the time. .” The elder sister said softly, “I know Xiaoxi likes to eat this.”

“Yes, there was once an emperor who once said that when the potatoes are cooked, add some beef, this is *** *.” Sid said with a smile: “Okay, elder sister is preparing goulash, and I’ll make oatmeal and gingerbread!”

The siblings made a sumptuous dinner together.

Ilustia hardly eats much. She drank a small bowl of milk oatmeal and said she was full, then put her chin on her hands and stared at Sid to eat, as if watching. Sid’s meal is more pleasing than her own.

Sid ignored the elder sister’s eyes and concentrated on eating.

Until he was half full, he inadvertently glanced up at the Holy Grail of Sins that he had placed on the table.

The pupils of the beautiful white-haired boy suddenly widened.

There is something reflected in the incomparably filthy black red mud of the Holy Grail of Guilty Nightmare.

A small sculpture of an angel without head and arms.

Sid immediately realized that this was the second Divine Item he was looking for!

What caught Sid’s attention even more was that the elder sister also saw the picture in the Holy Grail of Sins. The elder sister, who originally had a gentle smile on her face, changed slightly, and then sighed heavily.

“Elder sister, do you recognize what this thing is?” Sid asked immediately.

“How could the elder sister not recognize it?” Seeing the younger brother’s determined expression, the elder sister could only whisper: “The tears of an angel, after the Elder War, the only consolation for the angel family who suffered annihilation. , a souvenir of that war.”

“Can you elaborate?” Sid put down his bowl and spoon.
