Chapter 344 Settlement! 【Shadow of the Order Killer】
“The Order Killer?” Luo Xiu followed Blueyere’s words and asked:
“Have you discovered the ‘Order Killer’?”
"Yes." Blueyère nodded. The head, said:
"That was in the 'Logins Mansion' - in the room of its original owner, a grand inquisitor 'Velia Loggins', we found A secret document.”
"Document?"
"Yes, a document..."
Issac, the "Knight of the Throne" on the side, glanced at Luo Xiu and suddenly asked him:
"Luo Xiu, you asked me before about the 'Fire Bronze Knight' Hodwell."
"Do you know anything else?"
"..."
When Isaac asked the name "Fire Bronze Knight" Hodwell, Luo Xiu knew that they had indeed discovered the things he left in Velino's room. "clue".
Luo Xiu then nodded, looking at Isaac with a hint of depth in his eyes:
"Indeed, I have some keys to his collusion with the heretics. ”
As he spoke, his hand touched the storage bracelet lightly and extracted another “secret note”——
It was a secret note that Anthony found from the lair of the remnants of the "Blood of Thorns" party there when he went to "Oncica Town" to carry out the Holy Judgment. "Sacrifice" will use "Fire Bronze Knight" Hodwell as the "secret pick-up person".
Hand this secret note to Isaac and Blueyere, the "Knights of the Throne" in front of them. They took it solemnly and read it three times.
Seeing the expressions on their faces becoming more and more gloomy, Luo Xiu on the side sighed and said:
"No offense intended. It's just the heresy involving [Red Lotus] - investigate them It is my duty to tell you the details, so I did not explain the situation to you immediately."
"...Sigh." Isaac also sighed and handed the secret note back to Luo Xiu, who held both hands. Take it.
"'Fire Bronze Knight' Hodwell, he is the 'Slayer'."
Issac said with a heavy tone:
"I didn't expect that he would actually fight with you. The pagans under investigation are related... This is really a [supreme] shame."
The atmosphere suddenly became a little dull.
"At least... you discovered them in advance and prevented a greater disaster from happening."
Luo Xiu comforted the two old knights in front of him, and then asked tentatively:
"What else did you find?"
"...Except for the 'Fire Bronze Knight' Hod In addition to Vale, the document also contains the names of other 'Sequlayers'. "
Bluyère said:
"The 'Judge' Chinonen Luide and the 'Iron Knight' Kandel Fellowes, they are actually' The Order Killer'! I usually don't see it at all..."
"I didn't expect that what we were investigating would end in this way."
Luo Xiu looked at Isaac, then at Blueyere, and said:
"That is to say, in that Loggins mansion, you dug out three 'Sequenders' in succession... No Wouldn't it matter if you let me know too much?"
"No, it's okay - because the Marquis doesn't intend to keep it secret, Luo Xiu"
Issac's fingers were heavy. He knocked on the chessboard in front of him, made a "dong, dong" sound, and said:
"Blouyère and I both saw the Marquis arouse the overwhelming anger - the Marquis's 'Seal Knights' dispatched on the spot and arrested the three 'Sequlayers' from the house and from the street. And the Marquis even threatened to give them the cruelest way to die."
" I don't know why Marquis Bakar is so angry... Maybe it's because the 'Sequlayers' are too insidious and cunning. The Lord wants to deter other potential 'Sequlayers'. "
No, it was actually because his son was dead... Luo Xiu slandered.
However, according to what Isaac said, the three "Order Killers" have been controlled and will soon be sentenced to death - then his hidden mission [The Shadow of Order Killer] 】It will be completed soon.
In addition to the mission reward, Luo Xiu can also settle another kill reward later - Regarding the kill reward of "Velino Bakar", Luo Xiu once tried to settle it, but No good items have been released, and I am currently waiting for the cooldown of the specialty "Astray Explorer".
"Maybe that's it." Luo Xiu echoed Isaac's words and asked him casually:
"To be honest, I haven't even seen that 'Fire Bronze Knight' Hod What does Vail look like?"
"You. They are one step ahead of me, ha... But it doesn't matter, the result is the same."
...
After chatting with Isaac and Blueyere for a while, Luo Xiu said. He said goodbye, went up to the third floor, and returned to his room.
He probably already knew everything he wanted to know, and he also learned from Isaac's mouth the execution date of the three "Sequlayers", which would be in the early morning of the next day.
At that time, on the "Supreme Square" of Gaowen Street - this military restricted area will be open for one morning on the second day after the murder of the Logins Mansion. All citizens of Songyuan City will You can enter and watch the entire execution process of those who attempt to subvert the order.
Luo Xiu has decided that when that time comes, he will definitely go to "observe the ceremony" - only by watching the three people die with his own eyes can he feel completely at ease.
……
Day and night rotate in the sky, and the morning light of the next day soon fills the world.
Luo Xiu went to bed very early the day before, and woke up early this day, having already changed into his usual clothes for light travel.
After going to the bathroom to wash up, Luo Xiu walked down from the Wolfhound Tavern and went straight to the courtyard.
Issac and Blueyere, the "Knights of the Throne", are no longer in the tavern. They only left a note to carry out their mission, allowing the guests staying in the tavern to "help themselves".
Luo Xiu then walked out of the courtyard and walked along the main road towards Gaowen Street.
……
Songyuan City, Gaowen Street.
This military important place, which was usually solemn and deserted, with only teams of [Supreme] Guard Knights patrolling and guarding, now seemed particularly lively.
The news that Marquis Bakar had "opened" Gaowen Street had spread throughout the core neighborhoods of Songyuan City in a short time.
Many citizens then flocked here, scrambling to occupy the best position to witness the execution of the "Sequler"——
Because of the "Judgment War", the haze of fear It always lingers in people's hearts and cannot be dispersed for a long time.
Even in the relatively safe lord city "Songyuan Castle", people cannot control the panic about war - long-lasting peace has become a luxury hope. For many people, the war is like a sharp sword hanging above their heads. Maybe beheaded!
In this breathless era of war, witnessing the execution of cultists, heretics, etc., is one of the few ways for people under high pressure to vent - everyone Everyone knew this, so everyone's eyes shone with some inexplicable excitement.
......
Wearing a plain cloak, Luo Xiu squeezed through the surging crowd and finally came to the tall execution platform - he saw the three people who had already The "Sequlayers" who were tortured to a bloody pulp.
The only "Fire Bronze Knight" Hodwell he had seen was on the execution platform. He had been stripped of his fiery bronze armor and was only wearing a thin prison uniform that had been ripped to pieces. Shivering in the cold wind.
They were originally the [Supreme], but now they have completely lost their aloof temperament. They are only hanging on the torture rack by barbed ropes with their dying breath, like corpses waiting to die.
On both sides of Hodwell are the other two "Sequillers" - the 'Judge' Chinonin Luide and the 'Iron Knight' Kandel Fellowes, with disheveled hair. , covered in blood, and a pair of eyes were blurred due to extreme loss of concentration.
The three "Order Killers" were hung up high in this way, their feet were pierced into their flesh by thorny ropes like thorns, and they were tied almost one meter above the ground.
And there were piles of firewood at their feet.
The twelve guard knights guarding the surroundings each held a torch in their hands. Under their red-striped helmets, pairs of sharp eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings, wary of any unstable factors.
Until a "Sacred Knight" wearing gorgeous armor came riding on a tall armored war horse. He held a golden scabbard symbolizing the identity of the lord and climbed onto the high platform——
“I honor Vizia ·Order of the Marquis of Bakar, to supervise the execution.”
The gorgeous knight raised the lord’s scabbard and declared loudly:
“—The Order Slayer who attempts to subvert the order! ”
"——That abominable heretic should be cut to pieces by a thousand swords!"
"On the order of Marquis Vizia Bakar, he will be punished——by fire!"
>When the Divine Seal Knights announced the "judgment" of Marquis Vizia on them, the twelve guard knights around them raised their torches high at the same time.
Luo Xiu saw that the bodies of the three "Order Slayers" who were bound on the high platform seemed to tremble, and the color of fear subconsciously appeared in their lax pupils.
Even Hodwell, whose face was scarred, seemed to open his mouth and wanted to shout something, but he only made a babbling sound——
His tongue is missing! In Hodwell's mouth, the looming fractured wound was gushing out blood, making his face look even more bloody and terrifying.
At the same time, the twelve guard knights around them had thrown torches at the pyre under them.
——Bang!
The flammable pyre suddenly burst into flames, and the fire soon turned red in the sky, and the raging flames roared wildly on the torture rack.
“——Errrrrr!!!”
Hodwell, and the "Sequlayers" Chinonen and Kandel beside him, were wailing miserably, but the raging flames had spread to their feet, and then burned upwards along their clothes, and soon Quickly devour them completely.
"Burn him to death! Burn him to death!"
The surrounding crowd kept shouting. Even though the restless crowd was blocked by the knights from the cordon, they still could not stop them. Moving towards the inner circle with excitement.
Luo Xiu just kept calm, his pale golden eyes under the hood stared at the three people burning on the execution platform, watching their struggling movements gradually weakening, listening to their misery Howl was gradually engulfed in fire.
This is the "cruelest way to die" given to them by the Marquis of Vizia...
In fact, this is far from being called the "most cruel", but for Marquis Vizia, being burned by fire is a shocking enough punishment.
Until the soaring flames on the execution platform spread to the highest point, until any spiritual breath in it was annihilated, a new prompt flashed in Luo Xiu's panel——
【"Murder Preface" "The Presbyterian" Hodwell Aminos, has died]
[The "The Preslayer" Chinonen Luide, has died]

[…]
Such information appeared on the panel, and the hidden mission [Shadow of the Order] of "Hell" difficulty has completed all mission objectives so far.
"Settlement." Luo Xiu then gave the panel settlement instructions.
The light and shadow of his panel floated again, and the settlement interface appeared in front of him——
[Completed the hidden mission: Shadow of Order (Hell Difficulty)]

[…]
This is the effect of the limited specialty “Shadow of Sequence”…
After quickly browsing the contents of the panel, Luo Xiu closed the panel. Finally, he glanced at the raging flames in front of him.
The three corpses were burning from the inside out, and the scorched smell spread with the flames, reflecting the increasingly bright red eyes of the people around them.
Luo Xiu pulled his hood, turned and left.
Amidst the restlessness and shouting, he had left Gowan Street and disappeared at the end of the crowded street.
