Chapter 159 High Table Conference
But even though he said that, he was still very angry, so he directly changed his tone and said to Nohir and Ska.
“...be careful what you say, young man, you have to know that detaining a duke out of thin air is no small matter, especially when the accusations you made against her are so serious and you even took action, without evidence. Doing such a thing can easily be judged as an act of murder."
These words were not polite at all, and they directly made the situation at the scene more tense. Seeing that something was wrong, the lady immediately prepared to step forward to ease the situation, but was blocked by other soldiers.
"You said the Duke colluded with the devil? Indeed, there are indeed a lot of devil corpses in the courtyard now. If one or two of the devil corpses here are alive, it can be regarded as proving that what you said is true. Evidence, but they are all dead, and the guards don’t know much, so I’m afraid they can’t do anything to prove it for you.”
What Havanak said made Nohir and Ska sink in their hearts. Nohir began to wonder if the rumors about Havanak he had heard before were rumors. If it was true that the rumor was true, what would be the success rate of directly pulling Sika away now?
But fortunately, things were not that bad. Havanak suddenly changed his tone.
“The only thing I can see now that may support me in doing this is probably the hostages you rescued. But even so, we can’t rely on the meager words of a few people. Arresting a duke so quickly would completely mess up Baldur's Gate's current rules and procedures."
At this time, Havanak looked directly at Nohir. He said to Nohir word for word.
“I need evidence to do this, and it must be real, genuine evidence, evidence that can truly prove that the Duke betrayed humanity and Baldur’s Gate. Do you have this? ”
Nohir also understood Havanak's intentions at this moment. He had just hit the two of them with words before, but he still hoped to directly bring the Duke to justice here.
"I apologize for my unreasonable words and deeds before. I was really too impatient on such a big matter. It was not my intention to be so offensive."
"And of course there is evidence, otherwise we would It is impossible to do such a bold thing."
"...Very good, I accept your apology, since you are so polite."
Havanak said with that thick voice. The voice shouted at the soldiers gathered around!
"Soldiers! Control everyone in this manor, temporarily detain the devil believers inside and anyone who may be related to them, and block the news. Before what happened today is completely clear, no one can Don’t tell anyone!”
“As for you two, Nohir Temariti and Sika Chitrugu, come with me and bring your so-called evidence. I will hold a meeting overnight. High Table Conference, I hope that the news you two brought can open up a crack in the current corrupt situation."

The arrest operation went smoothly, in fact, it went smoothly. It was too much, because Nohill and Ska had almost solved all the difficulties in one package. Nohill had already chewed all the bones that were the hardest to chew in advance.
This led to the monitor soldiers successfully arresting Duke Vansample and his eldest son, putting magic-forbidden handcuffs on them all. At the same time, based on the clues provided by Nohill, they discovered that in the restaurant After going underground, they immediately understood that what Nohill and his party said was true. The runes and murals from hell directly proved that the underground of the Duke's Palace was a gathering place for devil believers!
Originally they thought there would be a lot of resisters underground, but after careful searching, they only found a room full of broken corpses in the temple at the end.
Such an exciting scene made some of the soldiers who had never seen such a big scene vomit in disgust, but some veterans suppressed their nausea and began to investigate the causes of death of these corpses.
"What's going on here? Who killed these people?" "The bodies are still fresh, they died not long ago, but who did this? Who would do this?"
“There are scorch marks on the fracture. Did they die from some form of energy attack? No, it doesn’t feel like it. I can only confirm that they did die from an energy attack, but The manner of death is unknown, and the wound does not appear to have been caused by a knife.”
“Did those two people kill these people?”
“No, I don’t think those two people alone can accomplish such a tragic massacre. Their murders can be inferred based on the freshness of the corpses. The time of death was definitely not more than half an hour, which means these people died ten minutes before we arrived at the manor. I don’t think the two of them could use this time to kill all these people.”
“ Gioia is right. Even if they can really do this, their bodies will definitely be covered with a lot of blood. However, although there is blood on their bodies, it is far from what they can spray by killing so many people. The amount of blood splattered on their bodies, and paying attention to the positions of these dead people, they seemed to have no resistance at all, but allowed themselves to be slaughtered by others."
"What can do this? Is there some kind of powerful demon hiding here? Did the demon kill them? "
"Isn't it more likely that it is the devil? "
"Shut up! You two, whether you are a demon or a demon, who can cause this kind of massacre is not something we can easily deal with. Be careful and send someone to contact the Sheriff to report the situation here. We..."
"Everyone, come here! I found a living person! Maybe we can ask him for some information, but he seems to be seriously injured. We'd better take him quickly... Oh, damn! He's incontinent "This man seems to be a fool!"

Havanak did not follow the team escorting the Duke to the northwest, that direction was where the Sentinel Castle was, but he did not He chose to return to the base camp and instead led a small group of monitors to go straight north.
This direction leads directly to the Supreme Hall in the center of the Zhongqian District, which is where the Four-person Council and the Zonggui Council hold meetings. Although it is generally not open at night, tonight is obviously an exception.
Because the situation this time is too urgent, Havanak has used the sound transmission stone to notify several senior figures who still hold some real power in Baldur's Gate, and directly initiated a high table meeting with them that is only proposed when deciding life and death. , and most of these big shots responded to him, and now almost all of them are rushing towards the Supreme Hall.
Nohir, Ska and the rescued hostages were all following Havanak. They only walked for less than ten minutes before they saw the tall and majestic building.
A fairly large open space was artificially left in the center of Zhongqian Street, and a small city was built on that open space. The city covered a very large area, and the surrounding areas of the city The open space is not small either.
A 30-foot (10-meter) high pentagonal wall surrounds the six-story castle in the middle. There is a raised tower at each corner of the pentagonal wall. The golden magic above the tower The light illuminated the entire block, and at this moment, the uppermost attic of the castle also lit up with light.
"It seems that someone has arrived. Get ready, boys, prepare your evidence, and then tell them the truth. I hope this cruel truth can unite the power of Baldur's Gate again. ”
