Chapter 332 Velino Bakar
After bidding farewell to Archbishop Sid and leaving the "Noble Temple", Luo Xiu went straight to the "Sacred Reserve" to obtain a sacred material of "epic" quality.
After two days of waiting, he could borrow the altar of the main church to preside over the sacred ceremony of resurrecting the "Golden Pegasus" Pegasus... and during these two days, he was quietly waiting for Archbishop Sid's summons again.
At that time, the [Glorious] saints who are recuperating, such as Columbator and Evans, will make a formal report to the Archbishop.
Luo Xiu then went to the "Healing Place", went to his room, and soaked in the new, steaming "Holy Spring" for a while.
After almost recovering from the remaining injuries on his body, he changed into regular clothes and left the church. He went to his main residence in Songyuan City and returned to the "Wolf Hunter Tavern" to rest.
……
Wolfhound Tavern.
Originally, at this time, Isaac, the "Knight of the Throne", was either sitting on a small bench in the courtyard watching the wind, or shouting and playing chess in the room, but he was not in the courtyard at this time.
When Luo Xiu first stepped into the courtyard of the tavern, he saw another "Knight of the Throne" Blueyere wearing black and red armor, holding a helmet like a gladiator in his left hand, striding towards the courtyard door.
"Good morning, Luo Xiu!"
Blueyere also saw Luo Xiu at a glance, so he came over and greeted him roughly: "You haven't come back all day. Brother Isaac said that you were on a mission, and I was quite worried about you."< br>
"I heard - a huge pit appeared outside Songyuan City. Is it your work?"
"Good morning, Old Knight Blueyere." Luo Xiu smiled at him and responded, "That's right. Are you ready to go out?"
"I was preparing to go to the 'Hall of the Round Table' when the Marquis issued an urgent call for us retired knights of the throne."
Blueyere said: "I heard that it was to reinforce the war of the Kuma Territory - hey, brother Isaac has gone first."
"That's it." Luo Xiu nodded, "Then I wish you good luck."
"Haha! Good luck to you too." Bluyere came over with a smile, raised his hand and patted Luo Xiu on the shoulder, and then strode out of the courtyard.
Isaac and Blueyere had already left, and the door of the tavern was unlocked. Luo Xiu walked in and went up to his room on the third floor.
And just in the room, Luo Xiu saw another plush, familiar white figure——
Intis, who has transformed into a two-tailed civet, is lying lazily on the windowsill. It wasn't until Luo Xiu pushed the door open and walked in that it turned its head, its green eyes looking in the direction of its "Lord".
Puff-Puff - Intis cat jumped off the window sill, and landed steadily and lightly on its four feet on the carpet-covered ground. Then there was a burst of mist, and it returned to its human form.
"Lord." Intis first paid the servant salute to the Lord, and then said softly:
"The task you assigned has been completed."
"The illegitimate son of the Marquis, 'Velino Bakar', who is now the judge of the Department of Justice, 'Velia Loggins', I and several compatriots from the 'Sacred Abyss' have already locked in His whereabouts ”
"Tell me about it." Luo Xiu took off his robe, walked to the bed and sat down, looking at Intis with gentle eyes.
"Yes, Lord."
Intis nodded and then said:
"Indeed, as the Bronze Knight Hodwell said, the illegitimate son lives in Loggins Mansion."
"His mother - as you said, his mother was a maid in the army, and about twenty years ago, she married a wealthy local businessman, 'Onglai Loggins' '."
"Therefore, Velino, who was only about eleven or twelve years old at the time, became the adopted son of the wealthy businessman 'Onglai Logins'. However, Angolai had no bloodline heirs, so he was He adopted him as his biological son and named him 'Vilia Logins'"
"The wealthy businessman Anglet also made a will at the Department of Justice, stating that after his death, all his property will be inherited to him."
"And just fourteen years ago - probably when the illegitimate son had just reached adulthood, the wealthy businessman Anglet was suddenly assassinated. When he was found, his body had been quartered, with his head, upper body and lower body thrown away separately. Three mansions in Anglet ”
"Because Anglet had a high influence in the business world, and his death was too strange, it caused quite a stir in society and even the Department of Justice at the time. At that time, Lord Gawain personally ordered Thoroughly investigate the murderer.”
The murderer Lord Gawain investigated... Luo Xiu had a thoughtful expression on his face. In his estimation, Gawain was only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time.
And that Lord probably still doesn’t know that ‘Vilia Logins’ is his half-brother...
But the Marquis of Vizia obviously knew - he might even have someone go to investigate the cause of death of the wealthy businessman Anglet. He also specifically asked Gawain to investigate, and it was intentional -
He wants to take this opportunity to let Gawain, who has just entered [Supreme], establish meritorious deeds? This can be regarded as the road paved by the father for his children... Thinking of this, Luo Xiu then listened to Intis say:
"Afterwards, Lord Gawain quickly identified the murderer - according to the final investigation results announced by the Department of Justice, they characterized the assassination of the wealthy businessman Anglet as a vicious incident committed by pagans, and the reason for doing so was to trigger social ”
"So, the Department of Justice, in conjunction with the [Glory] General Church and the [Intellectual] General Church, launched a large-scale purge of dozens of pagan strongholds in Songyuan City - according to those who have witnessed the scene at that time , at that time, Songyuan City was in a complete bloody storm..."
"The various forces that were originally esoteric cult organizations were naturally hit hard by this."
"And in the [Supreme] Law Hall, a few supreme people used this incident to attack political opponents - they slandered political opponents as traitors who colluded with heretics, thus labeling them as 'slayers of order'. The Marquis of Vizia, who was at the top of Songyuan City's [Supreme] rule, also 'executed' many [Supreme] extraordinary beings with second and third levels of destiny."
"It was a time of panic, but what we got in exchange was order and tranquility in Songyuan City for a long time."
This is the early history of the illegitimate son "Velino Bakar"... While Intis was talking, Luo Xiu was also thinking.
Fourteen years ago, the Marquis of Vizia conducted a thorough investigation into the cause of death of the wealthy businessman Anglet, and indeed achieved the goal of killing two birds with one stone... He found sufficient reasons to cleanse a group of heretics in Songyuan City. , and the 'executions' of those suspected Order Killers did indeed serve as a considerable warning to the [Supreme] Order within.
And in addition to these - "After that, the illegitimate son will naturally inherit all the property of the wealthy businessman Anglai, right?" Luo Xiu asked softly.
"Yes, Lord." Intis nodded.
"At that time, when the [Supreme] united with [Glory] and [Intellect] to vigorously cleanse the heretical forces in Songyuan City, Velino went to the Department of Justice at the same time to handle the matter of inheriting his adoptive father, the wealthy businessman Anglai. Property Formalities ”
"He paid 30% of Anglet's property to the Department of Justice as inheritance tax, and the remaining 70% also has a net valuation of nearly three million gold coins. This is enough for him to live a prosperous life in Songyuan City for the second half of his life. Get up.”
"Yeah." Luo Xiu nodded, "I probably know."
In his mind, no matter who was the real culprit who assassinated the wealthy businessman Anglet, the property owned by the wealthy businessman was the most fundamental purpose of the assassination——
Maybe it was Velino who hired the murderer himself? It may even be that he did it himself... and he must also know his relationship with Marquis of Vizia. Therefore, even if the fashionable and young Lord Gawain really discovered something, with the invisible Marquis of Vizia, protection, Velino could not be truly convicted.
At this point, the entire assassination incident can actually be regarded as a "family affair" of the Bakar family - except for the wealthy businessman Anglet himself, he was simply a pawn to be used, using him as a fuse for the burning, and finally created There was a huge, sensational explosion. This is what Luo Xiu wants to know about the past of the illegitimate son "Velino Bakar".
He thought for a while and asked Intis:
"I already know his past. So, what now?"
"Now..." Intis lowered his head, looked thoughtful for a long time, and then said softly:
"The current Villino... should be said to be the 'Judge' Vilia. His behavior... well, his behavior is too normal."
"As a 'judge' of the Department of Justice, he always arrives on time at the Department of Justice every morning, and always leaves on time every evening, never delaying even a minute."
"And during my secret surveillance of him - he had almost no social contact with other [Supreme] people, and always lived alone. Therefore, in the eyes of most of his colleagues, he had little social contact with him. The relationship is neither good nor bad, just a little indifferent.”
"And when he returned to his Loggins mansion in the evening, he no longer took any outings, and no one came to visit him... He gave me the feeling of a lonely single nobleman."
"..."
"...Well, I understand."
After Intis said this, Luo Xiu nodded approvingly.
"That's pretty much all the information I want to know."
Combining the "surface" detected by Intis and the "dark side" explained by the previous "Fire Bronze Knight" Hodwell, Luo Xiu can almost analyze Velino's personal state.
In the Department of Justice, he tried not to come into contact with any other [Supreme] people, most likely for disguise. In his Loggins mansion, there may be various secret doors and passages for other "Sequlayers" to report to him and move around.
But Intis and the other "Holy Abyss" apostles were unable to investigate to that extent. The premise for Luo Xiu to let them perform the task was to avoid exposing themselves. At this point, he believed that Intis could do a good job.
It is precisely because of this that Luo Xiu was finally able to decide when he would take action against the ‘illegitimate son’ Velino Bakar——
That would be tonight - at this time when he had just finished the mission of the main church and everyone knew that he had just been 'seriously injured'.
Archbishop Sid will most likely not summon him again, and he also has a sufficient ‘alibi’. This is the best chance.
……
"You did well, Intis."
After Intis had almost finished reporting the information she had found about Velino, Luo Xiu said in a praising tone.
Facing Index's somewhat restrained look of expectation, Luo Xiu opened the panel of the divine object "Spring of Spirituality", took out 200,000 experience points from it, and "infused" spirituality into Index's body.
This is a routine reward, and this is also the most generous time Luo Xiu has "rewarded" Intis——
Intis's current level is lv.29 of the third level of [Red Lotus]. After receiving the 200,000 experience rewarded by Luo Xiu, her level jumped to the upper limit of lv.30!
Feeling the warmth filling her body from all sides, Intis had an expression of enjoyment on her face.
She vaguely felt that one of the shackles on her third destiny in [Red Lotus] had been quietly broken through just now. In front of her eyes - or in other words, in the visionary scene in her mind, there was a scarlet flame burning. The Golden Gate appeared in her perception for a moment.
"That's...the door?" Intis muttered in a daze.
"That's the door." Luo Xiu gave Intis an affirmative answer. He stood up, walked in front of Intis, and reached out to stroke her soft silver-gray hair.
"That is the extraordinary door where you will be promoted to the [Red Lotus] - I gave you new power so that you can see it."
Then, Luo Xiu said to Intis in a calm and gentle voice:
"What you have to do is to constantly stabilize your spirituality so that the 'door' can appear clearly, when you want it to appear, and anywhere in your perception."
"You may hear some voices of guidance, the guidance from your [Red Lotus] Pillar God - from the 'Destruction Seat'."
"Listen to Him, accept Him, and do what He says, Intis - this is the final step for you to advance to the 'fourth level of destiny' and become the 'Shadow of Killing'."
"..."
"I understand, Lord..."
"Thank you..."
"..."
Intis responded still somewhat absentmindedly, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her face showed an expression as if she was tipsy.
Even if this allows Intis to reach her "bottleneck" first, Luo Xiu doesn't know what kind of promotion task Intis will trigger when she reaches the upper limit of the level, but in any case, based on the experience gained from contact with the natives, Intis will be given first Here are some guidelines for reference.
After feeling that the 200,000 experiences instilled in Intis were almost completely digested by Intis, Luo Xiu withdrew the hand that was stroking her long hair and sat back on the bed.
Intis still lowered her head, she seemed to be still feeling something.
Luo Xiu waited patiently until another three minutes passed. He saw Intis slowly raising his head, a subtle scarlet light bursting out of his eyes, and said:
"I did hear... the whisper from the 'Destruction Seat'... from Him."
"He asked me to kill, to kill with abandon, to kill in a deep carnival..."
"That is His guidance...Lord."
After saying this, the scarlet in Intis's eyes gradually faded, and his eyes gradually returned to clarity.
"Then do as He says, Intis."
Luo Xiu's voice was still calm and gentle, with a faint smile on his lips and said:
"This is the only way for you to set foot on [Red Lotus]."
"It just so happens that there will be a perfect stage tonight, Intis - I allow you to release your nature and have no inhibitions."
