Chapter 410: The Night Owl Sisterhood! A Horrifying Murder Case

In the vast empire, the Night Territory has almost 7,200 acres of land, which is equivalent to a municipal level. Of course, part of the area is forest, and there are also small parts of mountains and rivers. The arable area is not very large.

In the Griffin Empire, a normal baron with real power would generally have 20-200 knights (knights are titles, not cavalry), and the land controlled by the knights is equivalent to a village.

Field made a big pie in the air: "Of course, after we finish what we are doing now, we have to go to the fortress, and there are still a lot of things to finish."

At this time, in the Griffin Province of the empire, in the villa of the Garcia family.

"The province of Lik has also been devastated by the rebels."

After picking up the battle report and reading it again and again, Shirley covered her head with a headache.

"Don't be sad, the rebels have been defeated, and the imperial army is still very powerful." Valtteri, Shirley's chosen one, brought tea and cakes and encouraged Shirley, "By the way, Miss Mary Ruth is here. To be exact, it’s been a quarter of an hour.”

"It's so rude to keep her waiting for so long every time. Please invite her in." Shirley patted her head.

"Our female general is worried about the important affairs of the empire. What's wrong with that?" Mary Ruth smiled gently, holding a painting in her arms. "What happened again? I hope it's not a war."

"It's the Shadow World Sect. They almost razed the province of Rick to the ground."

"Hey..." Mary Ruth fell into silence, "I hope there will be no more wars or killings in the world."

"Wait, I remember, Sir Field's territory is over there, right? Is he okay?" Mary Ruth asked, holding the painting.

"Why do you care about him? You've never met either of you, right?" Sherriton felt baffled. "What could happen to him? He won't even lead the dog at night. In addition, the battle report sent back said that he was in the war here. , The performance is not bad, I heard that the formation killed more than ten people. "

"Don't think too much. Shirley's friends are my friends, and the relationship is normal." Mary Ruth waved her hands quickly and said with a smile, "The Baron is so brave, so this time, he will definitely receive a commendation from Her Majesty the Queen, right?"

"It's best like this..." Shirley said vaguely.

If you have military exploits, you can get rewards.

Who has more military exploits than her Garcia family? Their family was now at the bottom among the earls.

Shirley didn't know why.

If Field were here, he would definitely see the clues.

The noble lords were landowners, had private armies, and were obliged to fight the rebels. Once the army is exhausted, it will become useless. No matter how great the name is, it will be empty. Strength determines status.

Officials or generals, on the other hand, are propertyless and work for the nobility and royal family. Therefore, they pay more attention to merit. As long as they have merit, they can be promoted to a higher position. Status determines their strength.

If you become a lord (warlord) with the mentality of being an official, you will immediately become Song Jiang, a toy of the imperial power, and die after draining the value.

There is an essential difference between lords and bureaucrats.

"In just these two days, I have to visit Field to learn about the trends of the corpse tide."

Shirley, who couldn't figure out the reason, was too lazy to think about it anymore. Instead, she stood up and gestured with the long sword in her hand: "The injuries on my body are all healed. I have rested for too long. The empire needs the power of the Garcia family!"

"Please take me with you, I want to play too!" Mary Ruth was so excited.

Shirley was speechless: "What are you going to do? And I'm not going to play. It's extremely dangerous there."

"The cruel purgatory, the persevering knights, and the poignant sadness. God, I must draw everything there." Mary Ruth turned around excitedly, "I also want to compose a legendary song."

"Oh, my eldest lady, I'm really convinced. It'll be good if you don't get caught by the carrion and give birth to a baby." Shirley's eyelids twitched wildly and she said perfunctorily, "Let's talk about it, let's talk about today's arrangements."

"Go to Miss Lea's house. It is said that she bought many holy feather birds. I want to draw them."

"That eldest lady from a businessman's family." Shirley recalled the girl with short blond hair. "I remember her. She was very gentle. Let's go visit her."

The two were as close as sisters, going out arm in arm and riding in a carriage together.

Valtteri was responsible for paving the way, walking swaggering in front.

After passing through the bustling neighborhoods, everyone arrived at the villa area of ​​the capital. Rich people lived here, including imperial officials, minor nobles or wealthy businessmen. Although it cannot be said to be top-notch luxury, it is still something that ordinary people look up to.

"Hey? Is there any important festival today? There are so many people, it's so lively."

Mary Ruth leaned out of the carriage window excitedly, but what she saw was not a smiling face or an admiring look.

People on the street exchanged nervous whispers with nervous expressions, and from time to time some people made expressions of vomiting.

A group of patrol cavalry wearing blue shirts, led by a chosen one, quickly headed towards the villa area.

"What's going on...it doesn't seem to be a celebration."

Mary Ruth said disappointedly.

"Pull your head back, it's not safe outside, something must have happened here." Shirley patted Mary Ruth on the shoulder, feeling suddenly uneasy in her heart, "Don't let anything bad happen. The atmosphere has become more and more depressing recently. ”

It always felt like something big was going on, but Shirley couldn't explain why.

When they arrived at Mary Ruth's mansion, Shirley's uneasiness became a reality.

A large group of people surrounded the front of Leah's house. Soldiers had blocked the scene. A large number of patrolmen of the Imperial Security Team, with hounds, were searching in the bushes. A strong smell of blood filled the air.

Shirley's heart suddenly tightened. She hurriedly got out of the car, and Mary Ruth followed closely with a worried look on her face.

The Chosen One Valteri put away his usual playful smile and sniffed the smell from time to time.

"Stop, two ladies." The well-dressed security captain raised his hand to stop Shirley from coming forward. "A terrible murder has occurred here. It has been blocked. Please do not enter."

"Murder...murder!" Mary Ruth's pupils trembled, her legs couldn't help trembling, and her little face turned pale instantly.

"Is the owner here okay? What happened!" Shirley was also shocked.

"I'm sorry."

The captain shook his head: "I think it's better for you ladies not to know."

"I'm Shirley, a member of the Imperial Survey Corps, the youngest daughter of the Garcia family." Shirley showed her identity card, "What happened inside, I need all the information."

"Oh, excuse me, sir."

The security captain saluted respectfully, then reported: "The manor of the merchant Bert was attacked by the Night Owls. Bert's entire family in the manor, as well as the 23 guards and bodyguards recruited, were all killed. They died tragically."

"Night Owl Sisterhood?"

Shirley's pupils suddenly dilated.
