Chapter 168: Rainy Kaiyue City



It's even colder and wetter on rainy days.

Thunderstorms are better and will pass quickly, but I’m afraid of this kind of drizzle, which may last for a very long time.

But people's activities will not stop because of the rain. People are still coming and going in Kaiyue City, but they are coming and going in a hurry.

Everyone should avoid being outside for long periods of time.

"This is shitty weather."

People with bad tempers can't help but look up and curse.

In this awful weather, the contemporary Gandor knight, Babana, Gandor led the knights of his family and hurried to Kaiyue City and arrived at the Baron's residence.

This Knight Gandor was very handsome, with a face that drove women crazy. He was extremely tall and strong, and his eyes were very sharp, like a sword.

Although there was a look of sadness on his face at this moment, his sharp eyes and upright posture did not change.

Just as the rumors say, Knight Gandalf is a reliable and powerful knight and the backbone of the Barton family.

No trivial matter was enough to bring him down, even if his heir was killed.

At the gate of the mansion, the Baron came out to greet him, with a servant holding an umbrella. The Baron looked very serious. Knight Barbana dismounted and saluted the Baron, saying, "My Lord Baron."

The voice was as powerful as his person.

Baron Barton patted Barbana on the shoulder, then turned and entered the castle.

The two of them came to the hall together. The baron invited Knight Barbana to sit down and asked the maid to prepare hot soup. But Knight Barbana did not want to drink it. He asked, "What's going on?"

The Baron smiled bitterly and told Knight Babana what had happened in detail.

After listening to this, Babana closed his eyes. After a while, he opened them again, with a gleam of light flashing in his eyes.

"No ordinary monster would approach Eagle Mountain. Someone drove a monster to kill Mousse."

After that, Babana stood up and said, "I want to meet Mousse, and then meet the next generation of Pompeii knights."

The baron got a little nervous after hearing this, and quickly said, "Baba, you have to calm down. There is no need for Luther to kill him."

Babana nodded and said, "I know. My relationship with Thor is still good. There is no need for the Pompeii family to kill the next generation of knights of Gandal. I just want to ask him about the situation in detail."

The baron was relieved, but sighed and said, "Mousse is a bit miserable. Do you really want to see him?"

"No matter what he becomes, he is still my son," Babana said firmly.

So the Baron sighed and took Babana to a room in the official residence, where there were three brand new coffins.

There were three incomplete corpses in the coffins. Of course, it was impossible to tell who belonged to whom by looking at the corpses. Only the accessories, swords, etc. that the knights wore could distinguish who was who.

"Moose, my son."

"Ed, Xington, I am a loyal knight of the Gandol family."

Babana's face showed sadness, both for his son and for the two loyal family knights.

After staying for a long time, Babana personally closed the coffins for the three people, and then asked the baron to lead the way to meet Luther, Alice and others.

In a living room on the third floor of the official residence, Babana met Luther, Alice, Howard and other knights.

Luther, Alice, Howard and others saluted the contemporary Knight Gandor, and Babana returned the salute, and both sides sat down immediately.

Although Babana was strong, in order to avoid misunderstanding, he spoke in a gentle tone and only asked about the itinerary and some of Mousse and Gandhar's last words.

After asking this question, the sadness on Baba's face became more intense.

Obviously Babana was not doubting Luther and the others, he just wanted to hear what his son said in the end.

"I let your son go and caused all this. I feel very guilty. If there is anything I can do, I hope to do something for you."

"It should be safe on Eagle Mountain. You put my son down and he will not be threatened by the monsters. He was just murdered deliberately. You don't have to feel guilty."

Babana said with great understanding.

In Luther's heart, he admired Babana very much. He was indeed an upright knight without so many crooked ideas.

After he finished speaking, Knight Babana stood up, revealing a strong murderous intent. He bowed to the baron and said, "My Lord Baron, whoever killed my son will have to pay the price. Please help me investigate this matter with all your strength."

"Don't worry, all the guards and knights in the entire territory can be deployed for the Gandal family."

The Baron hastened to assure.

Then Babana bowed to Luther and his party and strode out. The Baron also walked out, but he turned back and glared at Alice again, as if to tell her to stay still.

There was no intention to lift Luther's house arrest.

Luther felt that he should continue to stay in the Baron's residence until the storm was over.

Why.

With the deployment of Baron Patton, Knight Barbana, and the cooperation of other knight lord families, a vigorous investigation operation was launched.

But progress has been minimal.

……..Ten days later, in the official residence of Kaiyue City.

The drizzle that had been falling for eight or nine days had stopped and the sun was back out, making the damp and cold weather warmer.

This is like a microcosm of this incident.

Ten days ago, Knight Barbana led almost all the forces in the territory to investigate the murder, detained and questioned many people, but made little progress.

Because Babana had a strong and upright personality, he offended countless people over the decades.

The murderer was very deliberate and did it very cleanly.

Of course, there would be no results if we continued to check one by one. So this matter gradually stopped like a drizzle.

On the second floor of the castle, in the guest room where Luther is staying.

This is a very nice guest room with a bedroom, living room, bathroom, and toilet. It is much more luxurious than Luther's room in Pompeii.

In the small living room, Luther was playing chess with Knight Stone.

The Baron also informed the Pompey family of this matter as soon as possible. Lady Sophie immediately dispatched the family knight chief, Stone, to Kaiyue City.

During this period, Luther spent most of his time with Knight Stone, and a small part of his time being harassed by a woman.

Luther was a terrible chess player, so it was no surprise that he lost this round again. He stood up, looked at the bright sunshine outside the window, and said, "I think there is a conspiracy in this matter."

"If it is a revenge murder, there is no need to do it so perfectly. Ordinary people can't do it, even Pompey would find it difficult to do it." Knight Stone also nodded, agreeing with Luther's point of view.

It was not revenge, but the one who died was the heir of the Knight House of Gandor.

Is this a fight for succession? Or is there a dark hand emerging from Patton's territory, trying to do something?

Is it even the New Party that is intervening?

The investigation gradually came to an end, but Luther and Knight Stone both felt that the future of Patton County might gradually become less peaceful.

"I hope it won't affect the development of our Pompeii."

Luther was a little worried.
