Chapter 35 Drinking and asking
Lucian replied politely but without flinching: "I am Lucian, a friend of John, and there is an emergency at his house, so I came to find him."
The dark-yellow-haired Ian snorted coldly: "John, along with the other knights' attendants, will not interrupt them until you are trained by Sir Wayne, and I am not sure you are his friend. You either prove your identity or wait patiently for them to finish."
For John, who made rapid progress and was deeply appreciated by Sir Wayne, Ian looked down on him a hundred times and hated him very much, thinking that he was just born in poverty, did not understand words, but relied on cleverness and abide by pedantic knightly rules everywhere to please Sir Wayne.
Another attendant, Dorag, also disliked John, and watched Ian "teach" Lucian with a smile on his face.
Of course, they will never admit that their dislike and dislike is due to jealousy.
After saying that, Ian looked at Lucian sternly, in his thoughts, Lucian, a poor man who had never seen the world, was so frightened by his knight's attendant, he must be anxious and anxious and did not dare to refute, so he could only beg himself bitterly, and when he begged enough, he would send someone to find John, and nothing big would happen.
Unfortunately, Lucian had experienced far more things than Ian, and even beyond his imagination, not only did he not turn around in a hurry or kneel down to beg at this time, but said with a serious and solemn expression: "John's friend has an emergency and his life is in danger, if he goes back a little slower, causing irreparable results, your obstruction is the main reason, and this is a serious violation of the knight's mercy spirit.
From John's mouth, Lucian knew that Sir Wayne was a nobleman who strictly adhered to the way of knighthood, and if he really wanted to drive away Ian and Dorag as Lucian described, he would definitely drive away Ian and Dorag, and the reputation of the expelled attendant would be completely ruined, and unless there were other opportunities, he could no longer be accepted as a servant by other knights.
As for John's friend who was in an emergency, of course, it was Lucian himself, and for him who did not follow the path of knighthood, he didn't take the little white lie to heart at all, and, strictly speaking, this was not a lie, at most it was indescribable.
"How dare you threaten me?!" Ian was furious, he didn't expect that he would be admonished so calmly and coldly by a lowly poor man, and he wanted to draw his knight's long sword and cut him down with one sword.
As a high-ranking knight attendant, the angry Ian took a step forward, exuding a dangerous aura, which was a complete explosion of the oppressive force that Lucian had felt in Gary, causing the soldiers behind him to shudder and take half a step back.
Whether it was the soldiers, or Dorag, or even Ian, they could already imagine Lucian's reaction to the full oppression of the high-ranking knight's attendants, that is, trembling with fright, stammering in a vague voice, and even being directly frightened to wet his pants.
But what made Ian, Dorag, and the soldiers unbelievable was that Lucian was still so serious and calm, and asked, "Do you want to violate the knight's code and kill the innocent and weak now?"
He seemed to be completely unoppressed by Ian, and Ian and Dorag vaguely felt that the poor young man in front of them seemed to have a tenacious will like a mountain.
"Do you still need me to repeat what I just said? Do you really want to be exorcised by Sir Wayne?" Lucian took a step forward-for-tat and spoke harshly again.
Ian wished he was the kind of villain who disregarded his life and future, and now he could draw his sword and kill Lucian, but he still wanted to be a knight, a nobleman, and his own manor.
As for the choice of framing after the murder, with John and many farmers in the wheat field outside, Ian couldn't do it at all.
Seeing that Ian's momentum was weakening, Dorag understood his thoughts, glared at Lucian resentfully, and pulled Ian: "John is our companion, since his friend's life is in danger, then we don't have to entangle with you, an uneducated poor man, hurry up and tell John."
"Okay, if it weren't for John, I would definitely teach you how to be polite." Ian took the opportunity to go down the steps and said to Lucian, regardless of whether John was the knight's attendant he hated the most and wished he died sooner.
Then, because he didn't want to see Lucian's hateful face, Ian went into the manor himself and went to report to Sir Wayne.
Dorag stood there with a cold face, not saying a word to Lucian.
Lucian didn't care about this at all, standing quietly aside and waiting, just now Ian's momentum oppression, before Lucian's soul was not injured, it had little effect, but after the soul was injured, it could shake his spirit, fortunately, Lucian already had an "Ice and Snow Avenger", just put his finger in his pocket and touched, so that his will reached the level of a first-class knight, much stronger than the original, Ian's momentum oppression, like a breeze blowing, had no effect.
After less than five minutes, John strode out, leaving Ian far behind, and when he saw clearly that it was Lucian, he couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Lucian is you! Who is in trouble?"
Lucian pointed to the road: "It's urgent, let's talk about it as we go."
Trotting side by side for a distance, in John's puzzled eyes, Lucian said the lines he had thought of for a long time: "I often meet a beggar these days, he always inexplicably condemns nobles and knights, and yesterday he pulled me to a hidden corner and said some blasphemous words, it turns out that he is a believer in the devil and secretly preaches in Aalto."
"Originally, I wanted to go directly to the church to report him, but then I accidentally saw him mysteriously in contact with the Jackson god of the Aaron gang, I was worried that there would be any other plot that would endanger Uncle Joel and Aunt Alyssa, so I came to you directly, and if you reported it through Sir Wayne, the church should pay more attention to it."
As a teenager who adheres to the principles of knighthood, John has no doubts about his good friend and trusts him very much: "The scoundrels of the Aaron gang actually have contact with the devil's believers, damn it, I will report to Sir Wayne immediately."
"Wait a minute, John, I think things may be more serious than you think, there are only a dozen beggars in Aalto City, where are the rest?" Lucian said what he knew in another way.
Hearing that so many people were missing, John was even more solemn, but the gain of strict adherence to chivalry and guidelines made him not panic, but maintained a good composure: "The devil's believers must have taken those poor people for blood sacrifices, well, the matter is very serious, and it must be told immediately to Sir Wayne."
Lucian nodded, and then reminded: "John, you must not tell Sir Wayne that I found it, I am worried that if the devil believers are not completely eliminated, they will come to take revenge on me after they know the truth of the matter.
"Okay. It's a pity that if you can really destroy the devil believers, Lucian will definitely get a lot of rewards." John understood Lucian's concerns, maybe when the time came to exterminate the knights and attendants of the devil believers, and even among the knights, there were people who were tempted by the devil.
Lucian smiled and patted John on the shoulder: "You also have to let Sir Wayne keep it a secret for you, Uncle Joel, Aunt Alyssa, and Evan are all ordinary people, anyway, your reward can be obtained from Sir Wayne."
If it weren't for this way, Lucian wouldn't even want to believe Sir Wayne, relying on himself, a guy who only knows a few apprentices-level magic, to report to the church, maybe even he would be arrested together.
At least, if even Sir Wayne, a knight in his sixties, who is healthy, has a happy family, strictly believes in chivalry, and is an advisor to the Grand Duke, is tempted by evil gods or devils, then Alto may have become a paradise for evil gods and devils.
"Yes, I will, Lucian, think carefully. When the time comes, if you can share Sir Wayne's reward, I will share it with you." John nodded cautiously, he was not afraid of sacrificing for justice, but if it would affect his family and friends, he would be worried.
Lucian smiled and said: "If Sir Wayne is willing to keep it a secret for you, then the reward given to you will definitely find other reasons, definitely not money, etc., John, you should keep it for yourself, we are good friends, why bother with this? Moreover, I am still eating and drinking at your house."
At Lucian's request, John waited another ten minutes to give the impression that the matter was resolved nearby before returning to the manor.
Six minutes later, eight strange black horses with scales galloped by, led by a serious old-fashioned old man wearing silver armor, one of the seven behind him was John in silver-gray chain mail and carrying a long sword and shield, the other five were also attendants, and the other was a young man in a white robe, who was supposed to be the presiding pastor of Sir Wayne's Manor Chapel.
Seeing them go away, Lucian breathed a long sigh of relief and returned to Alto.
As he entered Alto and walked towards the administrative district, Lucian faintly felt a vibration coming from the ground, as if the church and the knights had found something in the sutter.
"Regardless of whether they can eliminate all the cults, it will be safe for at least two or three months, but it seems that the sewers will have to wait a while to go down, so I will focus on analyzing magic first."
A few minutes before 8:30, Lucian finally arrived at the door of the Musicians Association.
