Witch Brigade

"The Iron Rose Mansion, established five hundred years ago, is one of the first buildings in Tige City, similar to Tige Central Plaza and Tige Castle. The Iron Rose Mansion and Tige Plaza have been preserved to this day and are the most The ancient building, and Tig Castle, was demolished a hundred years ago and rebuilt into the now famous Tig Comprehensive University in the Kingdom of Saruna."

　　 In front of the fountain in front of the Iron Rose Mansion, shotgun Buddy talked eloquently to popularize the history of the Iron Rose Mansion for Quinns. "It is said that the Duke Tieg, who built the Iron Rose Mansion, lived in the mansion more than in the Tieg Castle."

　　 "Duke Tig? The creator of Tig City?" Quinns asked curiously.

Shotgun Buddy: "Of course, there are many rumors about the Duke of Tige. It is said that the Duke obtained immortal power from **** and ruled Tieg for a hundred years with **** power. He was called the Duke of Hell. In the end, he disappeared for no reason. This is still an unsolved mystery in Tig's history."

Quinns touched his chin: "Duke of Hell? Another nickname for iron rose is the meaning of **** flower." Quinns looked at a blooming iron iron rose in the center of the fountain. The gurgling spring water is from the center of the flower. Seven streams of water fall into the pool from the seven petals.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to know another nickname for Iron Rose. Shouldn't it be someone who can become a wizard?" The shotgun squeezed out the short burning cigarette butts: "Okay, this is the end of the chat. Let's work. Up."

　　Quines turned to look around, and the first carriage not far away stepped on the bluestone slab and slowly drove in.

　　 One by one carriages drove into the Iron Rose Mansion one after another, and the identification and protection of the guests were not within the authority of Quinns and others. As the Tige Investigation Division, they have only one job. As a peripheral protector, as for the defense work in the mansion, the Royal Secret Guard who came with her Royal Highness is naturally responsible for the Tige Investigation Section.

　　 Of course, whether it is not necessary to worry about it, or whether the tour group is worried about the investigation section, everyone knows this.

　　Queens and Shotgun Buddy’s responsibilities are in the back garden. There are three groups of staff who have the same tasks as them, and four groups of members monitor all aspects of the back garden. In one group, there are secret shadow assassins with the pseudonym Lance Kelvin.

　　 Tie Qiangwei’s main hall was brightly lit at this time, and melodious dance music came from it. At this moment, the entrance of the guests was basically over, except for a few large-scale figures.

　　 Almost at the same time, Daphne Gerrard, the mayor of City Hall, brought two capable subordinates and the Earl of Dodge Earl's Mansion in front of the mansion.

This scene was clearly seen by Quinnes through the pet Lilia. This was what Quinnes had thought early in the morning. It was a pity that Quinns could not enter the main hall, but he must be aware of what happened in the main hall. An at least general understanding, as a person at the bottom, understanding the changes at the top can help him avoid a lot of dangers caused by asymmetry in intelligence.

　　 The mayor of the city hall met with the deputy mayor, and they were not as furious as they seemed. Even the female mayor, who was called the iron lady, was more interested in the earl’s lady and the three young ladies. This kind of interest is very concealed, and it was only after Lilia's observation that Quinnes came to this strange conclusion.

　　 With the entry of the two mayors, the dinner officially began.

The main hall of Tie Qiangwei is very large, almost containing more than half of Tige’s nobles and merchants, and the theme of the dinner tonight is the head of the tour group, that is, Princess Nini, summoning important people. Meet and have a certain in-depth meeting.

　　 In the center of the main hall, there are three large sofas. Her Royal Highness Nini sits on the large sofa in the center, and Wood the housekeeper and the maid stand around. Five secret guards stood around, separating the central sofa area from the dance floor as if there were two worlds.

But Quinnes clearly perceives through Lilia that that kind of isolation is not a regional isolation, but a mysterious isolation. It should be a secret magic barrier used by a secret guard, making the sofa area and the dance floor look like two places. , From the sofa area can not hear a trace of the music and noise brought by the dance party.

Due to the nature of the void life, Lilia entered this isolation barrier without disturbing anyone. At this time, Her Royal Highness Princess Nini of Saluna was receiving her first guest, a big city from Tige. businessman.

　　 Walkley Hill, who controls more than half of the textile mills in Tieg City, sells all kinds of cotton yarns that account for one-third of the Saruna Kingdom, and is a veritable rich man. At this time Walkley Hill was sitting on the sofa that he used to feel comfortable, but now he feels how to sit and respond, and drops of sweat slide down from the fat.

　　 The interview lasted only five minutes. Vannie Cecil briefly asked about the situation of the textile factory and workers in Tige City, focusing on the recent situation of the pollution of the textile factory’s drainage. Of course, some sensitive issues of Vannie Cecil are just a matter of fact, and the deep meaning is only the person concerned.

Quinns was fascinated by this. He had heard about Walkley Hill in Tig, and the money he made was based on the blood and sweat of the workers at the bottom. The big newspapers are bound to have a lot of negative news about the Walkley Hill Textile Mill, and its cruelty and ruthlessness are completely different from those when sitting in front of Vannie Cecil. Quinns curled his lips, and he was so unbelieving the gesture he showed in front of Vannie Cecil in the style of Walkley.

　　Vannie Cecil watched Walkley walk out of the barrier, and said, "Old fox, the play is pretty good."

　　 After Walkley, the nobles and big merchants entered the "Royal Zone" one by one like serving dishes, and the people around looked at those who entered with envy. Only then did Quinnes realize that five minutes is a long time, and all the people who entered did not exceed two minutes on average. It can be seen from this aspect that Walkley's position in Tieg is definitely one of the best.

　　 Just when Quinnes was a little numb, the latest person who came in made him startled.

　　 "His Royal Highness, Frederick Cook greets you." A gentleman in a black dress walked up to Vannie Cecil.

　　 Butler Wood immediately leaned over and whispered a few words in Vannie Cecil's ear: "It turns out to be Lord Frederick of Cook's house, please sit down." Frederick sat down.

　　Vanni Cecil: "Your Excellency, what do you think of the industrial pollution in Tieger now?"

　　 There was no expression on Frederick’s thin face: "Views? No views at all."

Vannie Cecil was stunned. This Frederick had a temperament that was completely out of the matter, as if everything was not within his attention. This talked about environmental pollution with many nobles whom Vannie Cecil had met before. , Talking about high-level political ecology is incompatible, and doesn't seem like an aristocrat at all.

　　Vanni Cecil: "Don't the Cook family care about these at all?"

Frederick smiled sullily: "The Cook family has passed down to this day and only my bloodline is left. The family has long been ruined. Instead of caring about these irrelevant trivial matters, what I care more about is the purpose of the princess's visit and the royal tour. Will the damage that the regiment may inflict on Tige spread to the Cook family?"

"You!" Vannie Cecil couldn't help but squinted her eyes, and she looked at Frederick again with a little more expression, until she saw the humble coat of arms on Frederick's right chest: "Disrespectful. It turns out that the Cook family is a heraldic noble, please forgive Vannie for being blind."

"Heraldic aristocracy?!" Quinnes who eavesdropped on the side was surprised. From the "Anders Multiverse Witchcraft", he naturally knew what the heraldic aristocracy represented. This meant that the ancestors of the Cook family were Some people have understood that the language of runes is a family of transcendents with level 9 and above, and the blood of the language of runes flows in the blood of Frederick.

Frederick smiled indifferently, and said unmoved: "The Cook family has long since fallen, the rune language in the bloodline has been scattered, heraldic nobles, huh, now it sounds like a kind of irony." So, like Cook. For aristocrats with heraldic coats like the family, their coat of arms only represents a kind of legitimacy, nothing more.

　　Quines saw through Lilia's eyes the coat of arms on Frederick's chest, which was a simple coat of arms made of thin red meniscus. Quinns quickly contacted the Soul Witch Book, and quickly found the introduction of this emblem, the Red Moon Emblem, the third-generation Patriarch of the Dark Age of the Cook Family, and the only rune language that the Patriarch had comprehended.

　　Quines has been a moment, and it has been at least a thousand years since the Dark Age. It is very difficult for the Cook family to continue to this day and still have heraldic blood.

　　 Frederick: "The princess has not answered the next question."

There was a weirdness in Vannie Cecil's heart. Since the Cook family has fallen, why is so concerned about the mysterious world, which is obviously unreasonable, unless... "Your Excellency, Baron Frederick, you represent you Does your family represent other forces?"

　　 Frederick: "Your Royal Highness, I think you haven't really seen the meaning of the family crest underneath."

　　 "Oh?" Vannie Cecil immediately thought of something, and a faint amber light appeared in her eyes, which was a secret technique similar to spiritual vision. Sure enough, under the simple red moon pattern, a silver moon outlined by many lines that was a hundred times more complex than the red moon contained the red moon coat of arms: "It turns out to be a believer of Lady Yinyue."

　　Vannie Cecil looked up at Frederick: "You are here on behalf of Silvermoon Church."

At this time, the butler Wood, standing behind Vannie Cecil, suddenly said: "Tiger is not within the missionary scope of the Silvermoon Church, so there are almost no Silvermoonists in the city, but one of them is an exception. It's Roger Rogue who is a household name in Tig City, Lord Baron Frederick, isn't it the Mr. Rogue Thief?" Although it was a question, the butler had a positive tone.

Frederick shrugged, without any embarrassment of being dismantled: "His Royal Highness's intelligence network is indeed powerful. Alas, the family has fallen, and the rune language in the blood is withered. The family can only shelter under the Silver Moon Church and hope Can reproduce the glory of the family."

As I said before, the heraldic aristocracy is not only a kind of glory, but also a kind of shackles. The words of runes inscribed in the blood can make the heraldic aristocrats a quick shortcut to promote, but at the same time, it also shackles those talented ones. People have the opportunity to inscribe other rune words in their blood~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Of course, there are some people who take a different approach. If there are extremely clever younger generations, they will transform their own blood heraldic on the basis of studying thoroughly the language of runes. Distorted, turned into another variant of the language of runes. As a result, a brand-new heraldic nobleman re-emerged in the decline, just like resetting the language of runes, and the bloodline began to reproduce. As long as one of this kind of extraordinary genius appears in the family, that is the opportunity for the re-emergence of the heraldic family. But such people are rare.

For those who are short of time, you need to find an organization similar to the church coat of arms to join when the family’s blood is scattered, and re-cover the new rune language, such as the Cook family, the red moon coat of arms passed down from the ancestors, that is A rune language that describes the moon. After joining the Silver Moon Church, if the Silver Moon Emblem is inscribed into the blood, although it is still more difficult than ordinary people, it is not impossible to succeed.

On the other hand, the church also welcomes people like Frederick to join the church, because through Frederick, Lady Silvermoon can study the crimson crest in his bloodline through Frederick, even if this rune language It has been scattered, but through research, Ms. Yinyue can also increase the power of the Silver Moon Crest by learning from each other's strengths.

Therefore, Frederick is more similar to the status of a guest in the church. He has only a certain status and no real power. Both parties take what they need. This kind of person is called a heraldic believer by the major forces and generally cannot be represented Church. Therefore, a heraldic believer is more like a lone traveler with a certain background, who will give a certain amount of shelter, but will not take the initiative to help.

　　 This is the embarrassing situation of the declining coat of arms nobles. While gaining something, they will definitely lose something in the future. The heraldic believers are just a little better.
