Book of Gods and Demons

The night is deep, wind and rain are even worse.

Tulum Harbor City Hall, the top floor of the assembly hall is smoky.

Headed by Model Jon Welsh, six members of the Tulum Port Seven-member Committee, plus the mayor of Tulum Port City Hall, the Speaker of the City Council, and more than a hundred members, There are also the chief officials of the various departments of the city hall. Two or three hundred people gathered here, with a cigarette in their hands, like a chimney, swallowing clouds and fog.

Three major generals of the Imperial Army, expressionless, sat behind a long table in the middle of the circular conference hall.

There was a glass of clear water in front of them, and only a glass of clear water.

More than a hundred soldiers surrounded the venue and stood solemnly against the wall.

Outside the gate of the venue, in the spacious hallway, there are also fully armed empire army soldiers standing. Outsiders are not allowed to enter, and those in the venue want to go out to the bathroom, and dozens of soldiers will be accompanied by them seamlessly throughout the process.

Mordell was holding today's mixed cigarettes in his mouth, but he felt that his mouth and nose were hot, as if on fire.

Even if he is an old smoker like this, he has been smoking cigarettes uninterruptedly for several hours, and his body is a bit unbearable.

Ignoring the heavy, soft, and expensive cashmere carpets on the venue, Model turned his head and threw his cigarette on the carpet with a'poof'.

He has piled up a small pile of cigarette butts by his feet, and the stalls by his feet have been scalded with many holes in a mess. If it hadn't been for the soldiers present to work hard to maintain it, Model would have ignited the carpet long ago, leading the entire assembly hall.

The three major generals sat there completely motionless, as if they hadn't seen Model's venting actions.

Mordell's heart was hot, and at the same time, his whole body was standing upright, a great sense of danger assaults the senses, which made his heart beat'png png png', and the green veins on his forehead were unconsciously Came out.

With a loud'bang', Mordel slapped the conference table in front of him with a palm and stood up abruptly.

In the conference hall, many sleepy congressmen and officials refreshed their spirits, and at the same time looked towards Mordel.

"Generals, generals, your honorable imperial major general, what are we doing?" Mordel raised high hands and roared: "Are we criminals? We committed something Some unforgivable felonies?"

"Can you tell us clearly why, those of us who have some reputation in Tulum Port and are loved by all the citizens of Tulum Port, will Like a small thief who picks up a wallet on the street, he is detained here?"

"Can you tell us clearly! Why are we detained here! Why cut off communication with our family! Why do we even send Its not allowed for anyone to report safety to the house?"

Mordel slapped the conference table hard, and patted the three-inch-thick teak-wood conference table with deep cracks.

"At the very least, please give us the treatment that matches our identity!"

"It's dinner time...we need dinner!"

< p>A major general stood up slowly, pressed both of his hands on the long table in front of him, and said in a low voice: "We are carrying out the order of the Duchess of Cassica, please cooperate with our actions, otherwise you will have any changes. , Will be regarded as a provocation to the Imperial Army, and we will execute wartime military laws without the slightest hesitation!"

"Explain, no explanation."

"Dinner, there will be dinner !"

The major general stood up and patted his hands hard. After a few minutes, a group of soldiers walked in.

They carried a huge bamboo basket in their left hand, which was piled with yellow bran bread. They walked to the noble and rich Lords in the conference hall, and put a bran bread in front of everyone.

These bran breads are obviously not freshly baked goods.

When the bread was placed on the table, the shell collided with the tabletop, and even made a muffled noise. This is at least three or four days of stale goods, the crust has become so hard, the texture of the whole bread should be almost brick.

Model also got a bran bread.

Like all the big Lords present, he looked at the earth-yellow in front of him in dismay. The shape was the same as the brick, and the texture was as hard as the brick. The skin was suddenly distorted.

"Are you kidding?" Mordel suppressed his anger.

"Why can't you eat what the empire army soldier can eat?" The standing major general sneered, "Are you more noble than the empire army soldier?"

No People say.

All the big Lords in the conference hall wanted to point to the major generals nose and say that if they pluck a piece of hair, they are all more valuable than an empire army soldier.

But no one dared to say this.

"You want dinner, give you dinner, don't say that we have treated you respected gentlemen harshly." The major general who had just stood up sat down again. He took a bran bread and opened his mouth. Fiercely took a bite.

"Yes, it's time for dinner, everyone eat, eat, eat, you are welcome." The major general who chewed bran bread vaguely said: "You are welcome, eat, eat... You dont eat, but do you look down on our Imperial Army?"

A soft cough sounded, a dry Little Old Man who could have a 90-year-old Little Old Man, one of the seven members of the Tulum Port Committee One, the Substitute Patriarch of the Haydn family, Dada Jon Haydn, slowly stood up.

There was a lot of baldness. Only Dada, who was still stubbornly slapped on the back of his head, knocked on the conference table. He slowly said: "Generals, for half a day, we have This time I asked why we were detained here, but the three distinguished generals, not at all, give us any answer."

He sighed heavily, and Dada squinted coldly and said: "Then , May I ask..."

The major general who chewed bran bread raised his head, straightened his neck, and swallowed the hard bread raw. He interrupted Dada's words: "I know what you want to ask. His Excellency Patriarch Hesse of the Vito family is not here because... he is a good person."

The three major generals laughed at the same time.

Another major general raised the glass in front of him, took a sip of water slowly, and said calmly: "This is the original words of the Duke. Your Excellency Hessian is a good man. He is of noble character, gentle and pure. In particular, he abides by the law and is willing to do good. He is an outstanding representative of the excellent citizens of the empire and a model of the nobility of the empire."

"So, in this investigation, Your Excellency Hessian does not need to be present."

"On the contrary, Your Excellency Hessian, is now cooperating with Your Excellency the Duke to make suggestions and contribute to the investigation of the truth of Zhongqiu's murder."

The major general put down the water glass, and his hard gaze fiercely scanned Mordel. He Dada, said softly with a slight smile: "After all, you are gentlemen beloved by others, so this is my explanation, but only this time."

The three major generals mutually glanced at each other, laughed while pulling the corners of the mouth.

Model and Dada trembled with anger, and even the many big Lords in the conference hall had their faces twisted, as if they had heard the shameless jokes in the world.

Hessian...'Quality is high'? 'Gentle and pure'? 'Compliance with laws and regulations'?

Ha...everyone present can no longer comment on such an explanation.

As for saying'be kind and benevolent'... If you say that Mistress Liya from Vito's family, the famous "prodigal wife" in Tulum, who often lavishly gives Yingui church money is also considered a kind of benevolence. ', then the Vito family is indeed a'good-hearted'!

But, the point of the question is, is Hesse running errands for Duke Ross?

He is making suggestions and contributions for Duke Ross?

He assisted Duke Ross in investigating the truth about Zhong Qiu's murder?

Model, Dada, and the others felt chills in the back of their heads, and their hairs couldn't help standing up.

What does Hesse want to do?

No, its not Hessians problem. Its the Duke of Ross behind Hessian, the bloody female devil who slaughtered countless Jiaxijia natives. What does she want to do?

'Dang', the gate of the conference hall was violently pushed open by two colonel officers. They strode to the three major generals and handed them an envelope made of kraft paper. In the middle of the envelope, you can clearly see the island shadow blood cuckoo shield emblem.

A major general tore open the envelope and pulled out a letterhead from it.

The three major generals got together, carefully read the information on the letterhead, and then they nodded.

A colonel turned around and moved towards the dry and bald Little Old Man. Dada pointed: "Dada Jon Haydn, Claude Jon Haydn is waiting for you outside. You can have a good talk with him."

Mald's face suddenly twitched.

Dada's expression suddenly relaxed, then quickly tightened.

The Tulun Harbor Grand Lords present were staring at Dada with fiery eyes.

Dada left his seat silently, and quickly followed the two colonels out of the conference hall. The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became solidified, and Mordel and the others felt heavy, as if a mountain was pressing on his heart.

The five members of the seven-member committee who were still there, quickly glanced at each other.

In their hearts, Dada has been labeled as untrustworthy. At this critical juncture, Dada was able to leave the conference hall, and he was able to meet his younger brother, Crowder...

The Haydn familys reputation in Port Tulum is not very good. They have always been known for "plot against". What they do best is to sell their partners and make huge profits.

Model took out another mixed cigarette. Confused, he bit the cigarette fiercely, and for a while, he got confused.

I don't know how long it took before the gate of the conference hall was violently pushed open again.

A team of empire army soldier, a team of church Knight, this strange combination strode into the conference hall.

"General, we are instructed to capture the heresy Charon Jon Caban." A leading colonel gave a salute to the three major generals and said aloud the words of earth shattering.

There was a sudden chaos in the conference hall, and countless people looked at the confused Kaban family as Substitute Patriarch Charon Jon Kaban in horror.

Same bald, same short, but chubby, cheerful-looking Charon Jon Caban pointed to himself blankly: "Me? Heresy? No, no, no, you must I got it wrong..."

Several church Knights arrogantly rushed to Charon's side, pulled out the long sword, and put it on his neck.

A church Knight was extremely rude and unreasonable. He swung up his long sword and hit Charons shoulder with a heavy sword hilt. Everyone heard a crisp fracture. Charon let out a miserable cry and knelt on the ground immediately.

Mauder and the others are instantly ashamed!

They looked at each other anxiouslythe Duke of Rose actually joined forces with the church?

In Mordel's heart, the idea of stake all on one throw suddenly came into being.
