Noble Emblem

Looking at Ralph's sad and miserable smile, Nadette looked at Assh with questioning eyes. The latter had no expression on his face, but turned his head to avoid looking at him.

It was already obvious what he meant... Nadette couldn't help but press his head, which had begun to swell.

After taking a few deep breaths to calm down, Nadette asked: "Since your eldest daughter is missing, why don't you ask me for help? Besides, your daughter's disappearance is not necessarily caused by Lux."

"Did Lux ​​do it? After something like that happened, do I still need to think more? How dare I ask you for help?" Ralph laughed twice and looked at the city lord's expression, as if he was looking at An idiot: "I just reported a few words to you casually. My eldest daughter is gone. If I report this to you again, shouldn't all members of my family disappear?"

At the end of the sentence, Ralph lowered his voice, his eyes glowing blue, like a wounded beast roaring at the enemy.

Ralph sighed, knowing that he had asked a stupid question.

"Give him some treatment and then let him go. Don't let him appear in Echo City in the future." After thinking for a long time, Nadette said this.

Ashish immediately dragged Ralph away.

But Ralph's voice still came in from the outside: "City Lord, you are a good person. Forget that vicious woman of yours, and have another woman with another woman. Otherwise, one day, she will harm..."

Nadette let out a long breath and leaned back in her chair. A heavy sense of fatigue weighed on him. He had never felt so tired and hard since he was a child. Even when his life was in danger, he would never feel this way.

The biggest blow to a father is when his children make a big mistake, or when he himself is deceived by his children.

Lux had both.

In the past, Nadette always thought that although her daughter was very arrogant, she was still good in nature, at least she would not kill people casually. But now... everything is proving one thing, he was deceived, deceived by his own daughter.

His daughter is a demon. Although she has no strength, as his own daughter, no one dares to arbitrate her. No one in Echo City dares to disobey her, so... the heretic arbiter came, and so did the paladin.

Now Nadette really wanted to question Lux face to face, why she did these things, and even wanted to beat her half to death... But it was only to beat her half to death. Nadette didn't want her daughter to die, he I feel that from now on, as long as I educate her well, I should be able to bring her back to the right path.

Thinking of saving his daughter, Nadette thought of the information sent by Heidi. According to the above, Cook suspected that there was a traitor behind the heretic arbiter and the paladin.

Nadette also vaguely felt this way. Echo City is his territory. There are a few outsiders staying in it now, but they can’t find out any information. If Cook and the others hadn’t come back, they wouldn’t even know where the enemy is.

Although she knew where her daughter was now, Nadette was not in a hurry to save her. The paladin had a good reputation and she said she would keep her daughter alive for the time being. The most important thing now is to understand the situation in the city, mobilize troops, and prepare arrangements to rescue people.

The more prepared you are, the greater your chances of rescuing Lux.

Nadette closed his eyes and thought for a while, then set off to the military camp.

Beta and Heidi returned to the hotel. After rejecting the waiter's inquiry if he wanted a midnight snack, Beta sat on a chair and sighed comfortably.

Although he is very strong and his physical attributes are quite high, for the past ten days or so, he has either been monitoring in Ellen City or killing people. After returning, he has to consider many things, and even has to run to the sewers with a strong smell in the middle of the night. Find someone. Even if you are not physically tired, you are mentally tired.

There seems to be a bit of a stench on my body... Take a bath.

When Beta was thinking this, she opened her eyes and was surprised to find that Heidi had taken off all her clothes.

"What are you doing?" Beta was a little surprised.

"Take a shower." The voice said matter-of-factly.

"You won't go back to your room to wash yourself?"

"There is no sense of security. What if another man breaks in?"

After saying this, Heidi had already taken off all her clothes. She faced Beta and continued openly and without any hesitation: "Besides, you are not interested in my body either, so why don't I wear any clothes?" It makes no difference to you."

Wrong...there's a big difference.

Heidi is also quite beautiful, and there are not many ugly female professionals. Although her figure and skin quality were not as good as those of the city lord's wife, Catherine, she could still score eighty points. Beta was a normal man, so he still found Heidi quite attractive.

He did not look away, but gave a wry smile: "What if I can't help my bestiality..."

"That's what I earned." Heidi chuckled. Following her movements, the two jelly balls in front of her shook slightly, and the cherries reflected a slight light under the oil lamp: "After all, I am already thirty years old. And you’re only in your early twenties.”

Beta shrugged helplessly and closed her eyes.

Seeing Beta's helpless look, Heidi smiled softly and entered the bathroom. After a while, she poked her head out again and whispered: "The waiter didn't prepare much water here. If I finish washing, , you don’t have any water. How about... let’s wash together?”

"We both wash it together. I'm afraid the more we wash it, the more greasy it will become."

"Haha." Heidi smiled happily: "I don't mind."

"But I think Nadette would mind."

"How would he know if you didn't tell me?" Heidi looked at Beta with disdain: "Do you have the habit of taking advantage of other people's women and like to publicize it in front of others?"

Beta originally wanted to remind Heidi that the person she loved was the city lord, but it turned out that Heidi didn't care about these things at all. And this time Beta didn't feel Heidi's probing intentions. Unlike the last few times, it was more like a good friend or a confidant's familiar joke.

Seeing that Beta was speechless by her, she even smiled happily. She retreated into the bathroom, gently closed the door, and took a bath inside.

The sound of rushing water lasted for more than ten minutes, and then Heidi came out, her smooth body was steaming with heat. She still did not avoid Beta, dried her body in front of the latter, and then put on clothes.

Moaning comfortably, Heidi sat down opposite Beta after getting dressed.

"You were looking at me just now!"

"Um."

"Are you not afraid of Nadette finding out now?"

"How would he know if you didn't tell me?" Beta used Heidi's words to block her mouth.

"Hahaha." Heidi laughed so hard that she calmed down a bit and said, "You are the magician and nobleman with the strangest personality I have ever seen."

Beta ignored her and continued to rest with her eyes closed.

Heidi didn't take it seriously and said, "I'm tired too." Then with a smile, he twisted his waist and returned to his room.

After resting for three hours, the two came to the sewers in the northern suburbs again.

There are many dense groves here, which bring great convenience to Beta and Heidi's hiding and surveillance.

Not long after they had been lurking nearby, three men in gray robes opened the cover of the sewer and went inside. They came out about an hour later.

"Now it is certain that there is indeed a traitor in Echo City." Beta sat on a thick branch and whispered: "I don't know how the investigation is going on Nadette's side?"

"Don't worry, Nadette will find out the mole."

In fact, Nadet now knows who the mole is, and also roughly knows who is helping the heretic arbiter.

After all, their family has been in charge of Echo City for hundreds of years. Apart from the army, Nadet does not have many underground forces, but once something big happens, these secretly lurking forces will emerge.

Judd was training his army in the military camp when he suddenly received news that the city lord wanted to see him in an emergency.

He stood there for a few seconds, calmed down, and walked to the highest level of the military camp in a very calm manner, where the non-war headquarters was located.

When he walked to the top floor, he found that it was the same as before. Whenever the city lord appeared, there would be several guards guarding the door.

He opened the door and went in, his face suddenly turned pale.

Nadette was sitting on the commander's seat. On the left and right sides of the room, there were rows of fully armed guards standing on each side, filled with murderous aura.

"Judd, you're doing well." Nadette looked at him with some confusion in his tone: "You turned out to be a civilian, it was I who brought you into the army, and it was I who turned you into a qualified soldier. ”

Judd's face was still pale, he lowered his head and said nothing.

"I asked you to lead a team to search the whole city, but you went against it. Are you waiting for me to die so that you can take over my position as city lord?"

Judd still didn't speak, he had nothing to say, because Nadette said everything right.

He was indeed waiting for the unexpected death of the city lord as promised by those people, and then he was promoted to the position of city lord by others.

Therefore, he deliberately did not do anything and deliberately ordered the soldiers to do nothing so that Nadette would fall into a more dangerous situation.

He just didn't expect that he would be exposed so quickly.

"Ash, go and inform the entire army that Judd has been relieved of his duties, and now I will personally lead the army."

Ashish nodded and left.

Nachot continued to look at Judd, his voice a little sad: "You are not like Ralph. It is understandable that he betrayed me. You were promoted by me personally. Your betrayal means that I have no vision of others." , which means that civilians and nobles are equally untrustworthy. They are both young people. It is much more difficult to train a civilian officer than to train an aristocratic officer, because you don’t even know the words at the beginning. So in three days, I will. Judge you in front of the whole city and tell the people of the city that because of you, I no longer trust civilians. From now on, the officers of Echo City will never be promoted from civilians."

Judd was just pale just now, but now his whole body was trembling. Nadette's words were heartbreaking.
