Warhammer Throne

Holding this pattern, Ryan frowned: "I remember this is not the name of a cafe on the street we passed by? I remember this cafe is called Starbucks, and there are several cafes of this kind in the city."

"Starbucks coffee?" Su Liya took a square scarf and looked at it carefully: "Yes, this is the logo of Starbucks coffee."

"Very well, this will be an important piece of evidence. Now, let me restore the scene." Ryan put the scarf away and continued to inspect the whole building.

"First of all, there are no traces of violent invasions, robberies and fights in the house, and there is an old housekeeper in the house. This fully shows that everything is committed by an acquaintance." Ryan paced back and forth on the carpet, pointing to the corpse. : "Then we can make an assumption that visitors enter the mansion through a formal visit mode."

Su Liya checked the butler's wound, and the female knight also agreed and nodded: "Yes, killed with a blow from the back."

"So what we can be sure is that the guest and the butler are acquaintances, or at least know the butler." Ryan went on to speculate: "So he entered the mansion smoothly and was treated by the butler, or at least got in. The excuse, and then took this opportunity to kill the old butler with one blow, and then left quickly."

"He didn't come to ask for money, and the second was unlikely to be a vendetta. Then the murderer had very few motives. Combined with the information obtained by Olica, it can be seen that the owner of the mansion, Baron Werner, is obviously from the Church of Musicians. One..." The female knight paced gently in the room. Su Liya's political sensitivity and intelligence obviously made her immediately aware of the answer: "Then there is only one answer!"

"The visitor is obviously to take away or destroy something." Ryan nodded slightly, and he took his wife's hand to the master bedroom. There are many mirrors in the master bedroom. There are two bookshelves, a desk, and another. For the bed, Ryan pointed to a position on the bookshelf: "Obviously, there is something missing here. This thing may be Baron Werner’s identity as a pervert, or something else, but now it has been taken away. The visitor took the things and left like this."

"What the visitor did not expect was that the old butler did not die, or that he did not die completely. Before he died, he grabbed the scarf that the visitor had left behind, held it in the palm of his hand, and then died." Ryan carefully checked again. Suddenly, he sighed: "This shows how arrogant the Musicians Association is."

What I have seen from the visitors shows that the Musicians Association is not worried about anyone checking it. They think that as long as they take things away, they will not be found no matter how they are checked.

It’s no wonder that if it weren’t for Olica’s understanding of the operation of the sect of sex, coupled with her ability to torture souls, it would be difficult for Ryan and the others to discover the existence of the Walkers’ Association, and as a baron, Werner Obviously his status in this association is no longer low, but he knows almost nothing about the entire musician association, and the leader of the entire musician association, Ms. Gentle, he neither knows the identity of the other party, nor has he seen the other party’s face. , Knows almost nothing, the only thing she knows is that she will appear occasionally in a black leather jacket, and then randomly order a cultist to be executed directly.

This approach instead ensures that the Musicians Association is always hidden, the number of core members is scarce, and it can't grow at all, and the Demon Hunters and Battle Priests never get any clues about the Musicians Association.

"There are no other clues." Su Liya checked it again and finally gave up. The female knight looked at the body of the old housekeeper and sighed lightly: "This is an old housekeeper who is as loyal as Henderson. He It shouldn't be this ending."

"Loyalty itself is the best reward for loyalty. He has done everything a housekeeper can do." Ryan said calmly: "About the fact that Baron Werner is a wicked believer, he may or may not know it. , This is not important anymore, Su Liya, let's leave soon."

"Yeah." Su Liya glanced at the old housekeeper's body with some regret. She nodded and took her husband's hand and walked away quickly. The couple immediately returned to the courtyard, mounted the pure-blood elf horse, and left Feng- The mansion of the Luck family.

In the afternoon sun, the couple rode horses on the stone boulevard in the rich district of Nur, enjoying the cold wind blowing on their faces.

"Now let's go to the cafe." Ryan took out the square scarf, and he smiled and handed it to Suria: "This is the square scarf of the Starbucks cafe, and each square has the customer's order number written on it. We can go to the cafe and sit down. I think we can persuade the owner of the cafe to tell us more clues."

"Ryan, I want to say that Nuer is different from what I imagined..." Su Liya focused on other things instead: "I thought that Nuer is a very serious, very high-pressure In this city, everyone is spinning like a gear in a dwarf’s mechanical structure, orderly."

Suria watched the abundance of entertainment in the wealthy area. Many clowns and buskers performed on the street. The vendors sold handmade toys, flowers and various snacks, as well as poetry by bards and even priests. In the sermon, on the street, many well-dressed gentlemen and ladies were playing around. The street revealed a leisurely, lazy, and even romantic taste: "But what I see now is this situation."

"The situation you mentioned is in Middenheim, White Wolf City." Ryan smiled and nodded, and he explained to his wife: "The city of Noor is different from Brunswick and Middenheim. If If Braunschweig is a city belt and Middenheim is a giant fortress, then Noor is a big city in the true sense. Highly developed industry and prosperous commerce have long been here from His Majesty Ludwig the savior. It took shape before, and Nur City was proud of it, and truly fulfilled Ludwig’s request, that is, "Everyone has the right to be paid for their own labor." Therefore, since the Great Holy War, A new class of citizens has begun to emerge. They are composed of businessmen, handicraftsmen, excellent craftsmen, factory skilled workers, freelancers and officials, and they constitute the main part of the Nuer population."

"The so-called'freedom' can be'purchased' in Nuer, my wife." Ryan said profoundly: "Such transactions are staged in the city every day, and even the most just and fair ladies are in the money It is also difficult to guarantee fairness in the face of magic. When a transaction is concluded, a small bag of gold coins often solves the problem."

Su Liya lowered her head in a dull silence, and the female knight looked far away: "I don't like this."

"But this is the tradition of Noor." Ryan continued: "Because of this, the female citizens of Noor are always chasing trends, chasing exquisite life, chasing supplies and spiritual enjoyment. Emilia is here today. What clothes are worn at the palace banquet, what drinks are drunk, what are talked about, the next day the female citizens of Noor will immediately start chasing fashion, they like to chase the same style of dress as Emilia, chasing Eat the same food as Emilia, read the same book as Emilia...Suria, do you know how the afternoon tea party became popular in Noor?"

"Is it?!" The female knight immediately thought of something, and Su Liya said with a wry smile: "Is it because of me?"

"It's because of you." Ryan squinted, and both husband and wife couldn't help laughing.

Su Liya has the habit of drinking afternoon tea. She likes to drink black tea the most. Emilia has followed her for so many years, so she naturally developed the habit of drinking afternoon tea and eating pastries at around four in the afternoon. After Ya returned to Nur, it became a habit and trend for female aristocrats to gather for afternoon tea.

However, the price of Aurora tea is extremely expensive, and ordinary citizens cannot afford to drink this kind of afternoon tea.

It's okay, it is said that Countess Emmanuel still likes coffee!

So the whole Nur began to drink coffee. Compared with the expensive tea, the price of coffee is relatively cheaper. The ordinary citizen class immediately began to chase coffee, and everyone took coffee as a fashion.

"It turned out to be the case, it was actually my cause." The female knight was really speechless after learning the cause and effect, but she quickly focused on other things: "Ryan, my husband, can you tell me? Me, why are silk stockings popular among the female nobles of Nuer?"

"Uh..." Ryan was blushing when he was asked about this sentence. He coughed a few times: "Um...In short, Starbucks cafes became popular in this context. Many female citizens or little nobles I like to order a cup of coffee in Starbucks, sit quietly in a corner, take a book and read it slowly, sitting there for an afternoon."

"Oh?" Su Liya still looked at Ryan with a smile. The Duchess' gaze made Ryan very stressed, and he had to cough a few more times: "Therefore, the whole city has this kind of atmosphere, and now you can understand. Why is the Walker's Association hidden in this city, right?"

"This is the "petty bourgeoisie" you told me?" Su Liya understood this: "A little money, a little idle? People will involuntarily pursue the enjoyment of life and spiritual needs?"

"That's right." Ryan nodded: "To paraphrase Captain Ivan's statement, in Kislev, this kind of person is called Little Bourgeois, and the House Committee has always been very wary of being corrupted by chaos."

"This is too little Bourgeois! I suggest you kill it immediately!"

Kislov House Committee

Mikoyan Ivanovich Govorov, the captain of the Urgoll archers, should be called General Ivan now. This Urgoll man who has no more than three or four hundred horses has been awarded Kieslov The rank of major general is now waiting to be dispatched under Ryan. As there is no war, Ivan has been sent by Ryan to Hubald, Duke of Carcassonne, to deal with the Greenskins and the Beasts.

A major general of three or four hundred people... Ryan had a lot to complain about, but in the end he still didn't say anything.

Not much to say, the couple has already approached a three-story house on the edge of the rich Nur district. The house has been transformed into a tavern-like structure. A big green logo is the shop’s sign, the logo pattern and Lion. The scarf in his hand is like a green siren siren, with the diverging fish tails open to both sides.

"Welcome!" Seeing the two of Ryan appeared, a clerk immediately greeted him. The clerk in the coffee shop wore very clean and refreshing maid clothes and leather shoes, wearing a bearskin coat. This thing is in Brittany and Empires are very common, because Kislov is exporting bear skins as the most important trade income, so bear skins on the market are not expensive, at least for the Nuer people, cheap.

"Two." Ryan and Sulia dismounted. Even though the couple did not wear noble dresses, they are still considered to be very noble nobles. After all, the holy grail knight badge on Ryan's chest and their silk clothes are pure blood. The elf horse mount is not fake.

The decoration of Starbucks coffee shop is mainly dark green, with white sofas, dark coffee-colored walls, and harmonious adjustments. The sales counter is built with red bricks on the stove wall. The old yellow lighting and elegant environment are very suitable.

The moment they entered the coffee shop, both Ryan and Sulia had a sense of sight for a moment, as if they had returned to the reception room at home. Immediately, Ryan and Sulia understood why Starbucks was so popular among the citizens. NS.

There are many people sitting in the coffee shop, most of them are young women, their dresses are also very similar, almost all of them are wearing Emilia’s favorite dress, which is the standard knee-length lace princess dress. Wearing a trench coat or waistcoat, with light makeup on her face, and a book in her hand, Emilia mentioned her favorite book "The Bridge of Dreams".

Seeing Ryan’s gaze swept over, almost all the women present who were watching Ryan involuntarily looked away, adjusted their skirts, adjusted their sitting posture, and looked like they were reading seriously in the afternoon sun. Looking at Ryan secretly with expectation, the knight commander of the Holy Grail, who is as majestic as the sea and as admirable as a mountain, looks like a real nobleman, and even many women have guessed the identity of this couple. They can't help themselves.

After all, today’s big news has spread to more than half of Nur. At this time, it is self-evident who the Knight Commander of the Holy Grail that appeared in the wealthy district is. If they can meet in a cafe, most women are impatient. Staying in the excitement, but restraining himself very well, making an elegant gesture, seeming to be waiting for something.

Ryan took Suria's hand and sat down on the bar. Soon, the manager of the cafe immediately walked up: "What do you want to drink? Your Excellency the Duchess? Your Excellency Duchess?"

This shop manager is also a female, very beautiful, with blond hair lying high behind his head, wearing a standard white shirt, black vest and white knee-length skirt, with black stockings and round-toed leather shoes. Approximately twenty-five or sixteen years old.

"Do you recognize me?" Ryan handed the menu to Sulia. He smiled and said to the store manager: "I thought no one in Nuer knew me."

"Lord Lane, your story has been circulating in Nur for more than five years. Today, all of us know that our lady brought you back to Nur, wearing the badge of the Knight Commander of the Holy Grail and riding a pure blood elf. Warhorse came to our store, not the famous Lord Ryan and Mrs. Suria, who else would it be?" The female store manager showed a professional smile, and she added: "Welcome to our store very much. My name is Doris. "

"Well, two cups of Arabica coffee, milk and sugar." Ryan wanted to talk to the female store manager. Su Liya had already selected the coffee, and the female knight snatched the conversation: "Also, please stay. Ms. Doris, we want your help."

"Please order, Mrs. Suria." The store manager's face changed slightly, and she bends to signal for Suria to express her intentions.

The female knight did not have a chance to speak to Ryan. She took out the square scarf and told the female store manager her request to get all the information of the square scarf owner. This kind of square scarf is a delivery service, and each square scarf has its own. The number can be checked to get the order.

"This..." The store manager showed an embarrassed expression. She respectfully took the kerchief from Su Liya's hand for a moment, and then bowed again: "Mrs. Su Liya, this is beyond my authority. I I need to send someone to consult the boss. I hope you understand that the most taboo we do in this business is to disclose the information of our guests."

"I understand." Su Liya expressed understanding and nodded, the female store manager Rumeng amnesty again bowed and thanked, and then quickly walked into the background.

"I hope we can get what we want." Ryan frowned and looked at the backstage door: "I don't know who the owner of this coffee shop is."

"No one can refuse my husband." Su Liya said deeply: "So is the female store manager, and so is the boss behind the scenes."

"Heh~" Ryan was choked by his wife in speechlessness, and could only smile awkwardly: "Madam, you are always so...accurate."

"Who made me have a great husband?" Su Liya stretched out her hand to pull her long blonde curly hair like a waterfall behind her ears: "My wife is also under a lot of pressure."

"Hahaha~" The two smiled at each other.

The couple sat on the bar just like this, waiting for the coffee and the female shopkeeper's answer.

But at this time, some people can't sit still.

A tall, curvaceous and graceful woman with long brown hair and shawl, wearing a standard white shirt, black one-step skirt and brown trench coat, came to the bar. Her facial features were marked, her face was quite hot and full of wildness, lips Slightly thick, with a long and slender nose, and a pair of royal blue eyes with uncontrollable excitement, she slowly came to the bar and said to Su Liya politely: "Hello! May I sit here, please? Edge?"

"Of course, please." Su Liya calmly agreed to her request.

The woman happily agreed immediately. She happily sat down next to Suria. Before she could have some coffee, she couldn’t wait to say: "Hello, Lord Ryan, Duchess Suria, I’m Elena, unmarried. , Working as a model in the nearby Mrs. Sals tailor shop, it’s nice to meet you guys!"

"Hello, Miss Elena." Ryan and Sulia had to respond out of courtesy.

"Are you here for coffee too?" The woman asked one after another, as if she had to seize this opportunity to ask all the questions in one go.

Ryan felt a pain in his waist when he was about to speak, and then closed his mouth decisively.

A touching smile appeared on Su Liya's face: "Yes, I heard that Starbucks coffee is very popular in Nur. We happened to be visiting Nur. When we saw Starbucks, we would come in and have a look."

"That's a coincidence!" The female model Irina hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand and made a shocked expression, and then as if reciting the answer, she hurriedly said: "In the cafe, the aroma of coffee and that This kind of elegant and indifferent feeling is definitely a kind of enjoyment. I want to say Mrs. Suria, you really have come to the right place."

"Among thousands of people, in the noise and chaos of Noor, in the desert of timelessness, we sit in a cafe and sip a cup of mellow coffee. Who can be so poetic?" The female model showed a drunken expression.

Ryan: "..."

Su Liya: "..."
