French knight lord: I have a skill panel

Chapter 126 The conflict between the viscount and the mayor
In less than 10 minutes, Job rushed to Elliot's house with his father, Viscount Alex.

But when they arrived, they found several city hall sentries standing outside Elliot's house.

These sentries were all members of Mayor Malcolm, and they bowed to them one after another.

Job was even more surprised to see these sentries, and immediately wanted to rush into Elliot's house to check.

Viscount Alex patted his son on the shoulder to signal him to calm down, then asked him to follow him and strolled into the courtyard.

Outside the two-story building of Elliott's house, I saw Mayor Malcolm arriving in person, and beside him was the Minister of Public Security Marshall.

Elken's expression was calm, showing no signs of emotion or anger.Marshall greeted Viscount Alex with a relaxed expression: "My Lord Judge, it's so late, why do you have the time to come to our murder scene to inspect the work today?"

"What murder scene? Where are the Elliotts?" Job asked anxiously.

Marshall looked at Job and said in a half-joking, half-serious tone: "You kid, when you see Shangguan, you don't even say hello. You start questioning him first."

"I'm sorry." Job calmed down and said in a deep voice, "It's just that this is Elliot's house, so I'm a little worried. After all, Elliot is our colleague."

He used the word "colleague" very strongly, as if he was criticizing Marshall for his indifference.

"Colleague?" Marshall sneered slightly: "Why don't I remember such a colleague? Isn't he the store manager of Saldin House?"

Job paused for a moment. Speaking of which, Elliot had indeed not gone to work in the city hall for a long time.

"Putting aside your questions, I have a question." Marshall continued: "It's so late, why do you want to come to Elliot's house to visit?"

Viscount Alex was much calmer than Job at this time. Seeing that Marshall was stalling for time, he said vaguely: "It's nothing important. I just have some trivial matters to ask Elliot."

With that said, he walked straight into the room.

As soon as he reached the door, he saw Mayor Malcolm personally extending his hand to stop Viscount Alex.

"Alex, you'd better not go in yet. A murder occurred in the house and it's under investigation." Malken said.

"What kind of murder case can make you, the mayor, come here in person?" Viscount Alex glanced at Malcolm, directly chose to ignore him, and started to force his way inside.

Malcolm's face was livid, and just as he was about to step forward to stop him, he saw three investigators from the Public Security Department walking out.

The two people behind were also supporting a woman, who was Elliot's new wife, Joshua.

Joshua's expression was dull, his head drooped, and he allowed the two men to drag him forward.She was only wearing a silk pajamas, which was half open at the moment, with her shoulders and chest half exposed.But she showed no reaction to her sexual revelation and looked like a zombie.

Her cuffs and hands were covered with donated blood, and as she walked, blood continued to drip down.

The head of the Sheriff walked out of the house, bowed to Mayor Malcolm and said: "Mr. Mayor, we have initially found out. The body of the deceased Elliot was split in two, and this woman named Joshua is the murderer. . It was because Joshua believed that Elliot had another woman outside, and the gold coins he gave her every month were too few. The two parties couldn't argue, so Joshua was angry and killed someone."

When Job heard the first half of what the sheriff said, his expression changed drastically. Sure enough, something happened to Elliot, and what he was worried about finally happened!

He didn't wait for the sheriff to finish speaking before striding into the room, eager to see Elliot's body.

The two had worked together for nearly ten years, and their relationship was so deep that Job still couldn't believe that Elliot was dead.

When he walked to Joshua, Job looked at her pale and haggard face and disheveled clothes. He quickly took off his clothes and wrapped them around her body.

"Lord Job, there is a murder scene inside. You are not allowed to enter and destroy it without permission." The Sheriff who supported Joshua reminded.

Job gave him a cold look and walked straight inside without any hesitation.

After a while, Job's mournful roar came from inside.

Everyone looked sideways.Only Joshua's expression remained dull, and only two tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

Viscount Alex stayed outside, staring at the mayor in front of him with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Mayor, you haven't explained why you are involved in such a murder case. Is this case related to What does it have to do with you?"

As soon as these words came out, the people in the Public Security Department were shocked.The staff of the city hall knew that the mayor and Viscount Alex were not getting along, but they had never publicly embarrassed each other.

Now that Viscount Alex is openly blaming the mayor, it is already a face-breaking incident.

Marshall already regretted wading into this muddy water.

When Malcolm approached him and asked him to fake the scene, he didn't really care.It's just Eliot, who cares?Just a favor to sell to the mayor.

Unexpectedly, Viscount Alex would question the mayor for such a villain.

Elliot is just a Sheriff who is not doing his job properly, there is nothing special about him.

Could it be because of his other identity - the store manager of Saldin House?Could it be that the Viscount attaches so much importance to Sardin Manor?
When Malcolm heard Viscount Alex's accusation, his face darkened, and he said angrily: "Alex, are you a little too presumptuous! I am also the mayor of the Volo Valley after all. Whatever I participate in or don't participate in, it's still up to me. I don’t want you to make irresponsible remarks! This place is not far from my house. The guards noticed something strange and reported it to me. Out of a sense of responsibility, I came out to check. What’s wrong? "

Viscount Alex sneered and said in a deep voice: "It's true that you are the mayor, but I advise you to consider the consequences of doing things. This Elliot works for Lord Saldin. That man is not even an earl. If you dare to kill, if you do something excessive, I believe he will not let you go."

"Scare me, eh? Scare me with a lord?"

There was no fear on Malcolm's face, but he suddenly felt panicked in his heart.

Speaking of which, the evil orcs were certainly terrifying, but Lord Sardin was also extremely difficult to mess with.

However, that bitch Maggie killed someone to find him. No matter how troublesome it was, Malcolm would have to bite the bullet and cover up the matter.

Malcolm's idea is very simple. As long as he can cover it up for a period of time and persist until the day of the knighthood, the killers sent by the evil orcs can kill Lord Saldin and Viscount Alex, then the whole thing will be completed. solve.

For this reason, he immediately called Sheriff Marshall, first transported Elliot's body back, controlled Elliot's wife Joshua, drugged her to make her stupid, so that he could frame the blame on her, and then began to fake the scene .

However, even though he moved very quickly, he did not expect Viscount Alex to arrive suddenly.Even though he had developed a strong psychological quality through many years of political career, at this time, Malcolm still showed a hint of panic.Seeing Malcolm's reaction, Viscount Alex had a sneer on his face and walked straight towards Joshua, who had been placed against the wall by people from the Public Security Department.

Viscount Alex had seen this woman before. After escaping from Baron Nora's clutches, as Elliot's wife, she had always been elegant, calm, well-dressed, and very charming.

But at this moment, her face was pale, her eyes were dull, there were tears in the corners of her eyes, and there were long tears at the corners of her mouth. She had long lost her former glory.

"My child, everything will be fine." Viscount Alex comforted Joshua while caressing his forehead.

"Don't touch her easily!" Malcolm motioned for the people from the Public Security Department to come forward and said to Viscount Alex: "She is the murderer of Elliot!"

As soon as Malcolm finished speaking, a voice was heard sternly saying: "She is not the murderer of Elliot!"

Everyone turned to look and saw Job walking out of the bedroom and coming to the door, staring at Mayor Malkane.

Seeing Job denying himself, Malcolm glanced at Marshall next to him intentionally or unintentionally, hoping that he would save him.

Marshall was already feeling a little numb at this time. If he had known better, he would have gone home and hugged his wife to sleep.

Seeing the look in Malcolm's eyes at this time, I knew I couldn't shirk it, so I had to bite the bullet and come out.He said in a deep voice: "Qiaobu, you kid, how dare you even question the investigation I personally directed."

Although his words were meant to blame, his tone was much softer than before.Moreover, the words "personally directing the investigation" were used instead of "personally investigating".

After all, personally commanding is not personally investigating.Once something happens, you can't blame yourself directly.As for the responsibility of command, the mayor is here in person, and the power of command has nothing to do with him.

He thought that by softening his tone, Job would give him face.Unexpectedly, there was no smile on Job's face. He stared at Marshall and said loudly: "Sir, did you not even look at Elliot's wounds? Although there were traces of being cut by a knife afterwards, you can see it at a glance. It turned out that he was directly cut off at the waist by the wind blade of wind element magic. As an ordinary person, how could Joshua cause such a wound?"

Hearing Job's stern tone, Marshall suddenly felt helpless.

He was a little confused. When Lord Saldin and Viscount Charles were fighting a lawsuit, Job brought Elliot to give him a gift.The attitude at that time was so respectful.

In just two or three months, why did this damn Job suddenly have no respect for himself.

Damn it, it turns out that when you use people, you go forward, when you don’t use people, you go behind.It's just that Eliot died. How could he offend people so much?

Seeing that Marshall was also choked and speechless, Malcolm said with a sullen face: "Viscount Alex, you have nothing to do here today. You came here rashly to cause trouble, making it impossible for us to carry out our work. .As the mayor of Volo City, I order you to leave."

"You can leave." Viscount Alex said: "Since this case is full of doubts, I want to take Elliot's body away with Joshua."

When Malcolm heard this, he was furious and said loudly: "Alex, don't go too far! I am the mayor, not you! You are just a judge of the Volo Valley Tribunal and a reserve camp With your position, do you really think you can be arrogant and domineering in Volo City?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the sentinels in the courtyard immediately surrounded him.

They were all knights in the Guards Battalion directly under the City Hall. They were all sturdy and looked at Viscount Alex angrily.

The Knights of the Volo Valley are divided into four battalions, namely the Guards Battalion, the Reserve Battalion, the First Battalion and the Second Battalion commanded by the nobles.

Among them, the Guards Battalion is the most powerful group and is directly commanded by Malcolm.

Today, the matter can no longer be resolved. Now that Viscount Alex has broken his skin, Malcolm is no longer reserved.

He knew that the reason why Maggie killed Elliot must be that Elliot discovered his traces.Although Elliot is dead now, even if Viscount Alex takes his body away, he probably won't be able to find out the information about the evil orcs.But to be on the safe side, he still didn't want Viscount Alex to take the body away.

Not only for safety reasons, but also for my own authority and face as the mayor.

"Let's see who dares to touch our father and son." Viscount Alex subconsciously blocked Job behind him and said to everyone in a loud voice.

"Alex, today's matter is obviously an unreasonable one on your part. Even if I capture you, I can still explain it to the kingdom!" Seeing how strong Viscount Alex was, Malcolm refused to give in at all. Instead, he asked the sentries to continue to attack him. One step forward.

Things have developed so far that he already wants to anger Viscount Alex.It would be best for Viscount Alex to go on a killing spree today and kill a few of his sentries.Then, his duties as judges and camp officers will come to an end.

But what surprised him was that when he saw the sentries approaching step by step, Viscount Alex was not angry, but smiled: "My Lord Mayor, I advise you not to be so forceful. I also informed Saldin about this matter today. People from the manor. Counting the time, they should be arriving soon."

"People from Saltine Manor?" Mayor Malcolm was stunned.

The next moment, I heard footsteps outside.

The footsteps sounded neat and orderly, as if dozens of people were stepping forward at the same time.Just by hearing these neat footsteps, you can tell how disciplined this team is.

"Who!" the sentry outside the door asked.

"Sardine Manor, Deputy Commander of the Knights, Vincent." The visitor shouted loudly.

After the battle with Earl Brad, the current Knights of Sardine have become famous in the Volo Valley.Through widespread legend, everyone knew that they had defeated an army of zombies and skeletons.

What's more, behind them was Romo Saldin, a murderous lord who killed nobles whenever they disagreed, and even received a commendation from the kingdom.

After a while, the sentry's hesitant voice sounded: "Everyone, our Lord Mayor is investigating a murder case inside. You... you can't go in."

I heard that the knight captain outside the door did not give in at all, and said in a deep voice: "This is the house of Elliott, the manager of our Saldin House. Since it is related to our Saldin Manor, why can't we enter?"

Then, there was a chaotic conflict, and the deputy captain walked in directly.

Behind him were several knights from Sardin Manor.

Malcolm looked at these uninvited guests with a cold expression on his face.

However, when he saw that the leading knights were equipped with magic weapons with obvious magic aura flowing around their waists, he immediately swallowed back the words he wanted to scold.

He secretly thought in his heart, there are so many French knights in a knight detachment of the Saltine Knights?
In fact, what he didn't know was that in order to practice enchanting skills, Romo equipped most of his knights with magic weapons.Although most people won't use it, they can at least pretend to be.
