Indescribable tarot cards

"Maybe they are waiting for me?" A person said leisurely not far away.

Aaron subconsciously looked for the sound, only to see a figure with black hair and gray eyes standing quietly not far away.

He wore a clean and straight dark uniform with a hood that could protect him from wind and rain, and two one-handed swords hanging from his waist.

What's even more striking is that there is actually a small black cat squatting on his shoulder, tilting his head and looking at Aaron, and there is actually a trace of human scrutiny in his eyes.

"Who are you?" Aaron glanced at Alice and said casually.

Although they were busy talking and thinking just now, this did not mean that they neglected to explore their surroundings.

In order to prevent a sudden assassination from the Sogetos family, they had been half tense almost every day in the past few days and were on guard at all times.

However, this young man seemed to appear suddenly beside them, with no idea where he came from.

"Don't worry, I don't mean any harm at the moment." The figure said with a smile, teasing the black cat sitting on his shoulder, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Ron von Held, the owner of 'The Hanging Sword' The elite agents came here specifically to deal with Bals, I think you should know Bals, right?"

Ron's eyes wandered, and he looked at the expressions of Aaron and Alice casually.

The hanging sword?

Is it finally here...

Aaron didn't know whether to let out a long sigh of relief or take a breath of cold air.

The Hanging Sword, as the name suggests, is a long sword hanging in mid-air with the blade facing downwards.

It is one of the three sacred artifacts of the Kingdom of Algrant, and it also represents the name of an organization, an organization that is feared by all nobles.

In this high demonic plane, people who have mastered extraordinary power naturally have authority over ordinary people.

This is even more obvious in the Kingdom of Algrant: only extraordinary people can become nobles, and power equals rights and obligations.

It is more like a supervisory department, responsible for monitoring the nobles throughout the territory of Algrant, and is directly subordinate to King Algrant III.

But they are not responsible for monitoring the daily activities of the nobles, only whether they are involved in cult incidents, or, more accurately, whether they have become cultists.

Yes, they did not pay attention to whether the nobles under investigation bullied men and women, did not pay attention to the internal fighting between noble families, and did not even pay attention to whether the nobles had liaisons with the enemy.

They only care about one thing: whether they believe in an evil god and become a cultist.

According to the original words of the founding emperor Agrant I, "Let the ridiculous world and the extraordinary be separated, the royal power is supreme, and only the extraordinary is eternal."

He gave the Kongxuan Sword the highest authority to supervise the nobles across the country.

Every member of the "Hanging Sword" organization has astonishing power. As long as they can provide enough evidence to prove it, they can theoretically cut off the prince's head in front of the king.

And the king didn't dare to stop him, because there was a hanging sword hanging above his head that he didn't know when he would cut off.

The sacred weapon, the Hanging Sword, itself is the best supervision for the king.

The kings of the future generations of Algrant could be cowardly, incompetent, arrogant, cruel, or dissolute.

Regardless of whether he is a wise king or a mediocre king, he must always be vigilant against cult incidents. No matter what the Kingdom of Algrant turns into, a noble who has turned into a cult member must not be let go in its territory.

This was the will of King Yagrant I back then, and it was also the will of the sacred weapon, the Hanging Sword. No one dared to violate this cold weapon.

The entire organization of "The Hanging Sword" belongs to Al Grant III, but is loyal to the sacred weapon of the Hanging Sword.

Just like this sacred weapon, they are indifferent and ruthless. As long as the evidence is conclusive, they may be chatting and laughing one second, then they may laugh and draw their swords and chop off the head of the person under investigation with a swing of the sword.

Aaron couldn't help but glance at the golden enamel sword badge pinned to Ron's collar.

According to the kingdom's practice, this means that he is at least a high-level investigator, who has completed multiple silver-level investigation tasks and above on his own, and may have even killed gold-level nobles.

As if aware of Aaron's gaze, Ron shrugged casually and said with a smile: "Relax, I'm just a member who is about to retire."

About to retire?

Aaron looked at Ron subconsciously, and his face became strange.

He is clearly still a young man and looks about the same age as himself. Does this mean he can retire?

"I mean, after I finish this mission, I can leave the organization." Ron whistled happily, and the cat on his shoulder lay lazily on his head and stretched. Called softly.

"Then you should investigate Baers first." Alice said with a frown.

"Yes, in theory I should indeed investigate Bals first, but I didn't expect that the two of them didn't leave Leyden City..." His eyes wandered, his expression was incomprehensible, and he sighed, "I thought they would be here. It takes a lot of time to track it down.”

"What do you think?" He held the black cat on his shoulder in his arms and scratched its chin, as if communicating with it.

However, the black cat just narrowed his eyes in contentment, purred comfortably, and caressed Ron's face with his slender tail.

"You may not know that I was on vacation in a small town in the east, but a transfer order made me fly from Kish to Leyden City on a gryphon..." Ron said to himself, "A good vacation was interrupted. , I think anyone would feel unhappy, right?”

"But for a person who can retire after completing his mission, it seems that interrupting his vacation this time is not so bad, right?" Aaron said casually.

He doesn't know Ron's true strength yet, nor is he quite sure about the other party's attitude.

It is said that the Hanging Sword organization is a bunch of lunatics, but who knows if a normal person will emerge from it, like the Ron in front of him who is clamoring to retire.

In a sense, Aaron felt like he was normal.

Ron was stunned. He didn't expect Aaron to reply like this. There was a smile in his eyes. He simply lowered his head and took out a notebook from the inner pocket of his jacket and jotted down a few symbols. He closed the page casually.

"Now, Mr. Aaron, I would like to invite you and Alice..." His eyes wandered between Aaron and Alice, "With Ms. Alice, come with me to the sewers of Layden City. "

"Why do you want us to go there?"

"Because according to the decree of the sacred weapon, the Hanging Sword, when you are listed as the subject of investigation, life and death are no longer yours to decide. In fact, I have already eliminated several annoying guys."

Ron said casually, giving Aaron a meaningful look, "He requires us to have an absolutely fair trial."
