Early in the morning, furnace town before dawn.
Without any prior notice, the guard of melting pot town, who had no time to respond, was controlled by Brandon de saleon's guard - or semi surveillance "guard", and was forced to open all warehouses in melting pot town for counting.
Of course, they dare not resist - no matter how important the melting pot town is in the possession of Prince sakran, these guards are still just a group of town guards. The guards against the prince's Royal Highness are in their hearts as against the Empire.
If the college student had given orders privately in advance, there might be a different result; But now that he has been arrested, it is naturally impossible for him to give any more orders.
But this does not mean that everything is over - Brandon just temporarily detained the president of the furnace college and forcibly opened the warehouse by borrowing his identity as the prince of the Empire. If he can't find key evidence, he will be in trouble the next day.
After all, this is the prince of Saxony. The real prince of Saxony is his royal brother, crown prince Connor de sallion of the Empire, and the president of the furnace college is also Connor's vassal. Legally speaking, Brandon is not qualified to bypass his brother, forcibly arrest the president and convict him.
Of course, this is only a legal principle - compared with other principalities, Connor's title of "Prince of saklan" symbolizes his crown prince status. After all, East saklan has been the core territory of the Empire for hundreds of years and has always been under the absolute control of the Empire, which gives Brandon the opportunity to forcibly arrest people by taking advantage of the title of Prince.
If it is in lottel, it depends on whether the Archduke is willing to sell his face.
According to Brandon's prediction, although he has a good relationship with Lowell's successor, Reuven, according to the always tough attitude of the Fred family, unless the father speaks, most of them will not give
Lottel's brave mountain people are not easy to bully honest saxorians.
Decisive evidence, what is needed now, is only a decisive evidence.
But now this doesn't seem to be a problem
Under the night sky, Brandon looked up at the warehouse in front of him. It seemed that there were still traces of the incident. All the guards around have been controlled, and the surrounding roads have been blocked. There seems to be no problem.
Except for some unexpected guy, squinting Brandon mused in the bottom of his heart. According to the original plan, Loren Turin should have left after getting the evidence. It wouldn't have made such a big noise.
This has disturbed the whole melting pot town. Even if it is just to find a step down, I have no second choice but to directly arrest the president of the melting pot college, otherwise I can't explain. But the result is that it will offend the "beloved" Royal brother connord. After all, the dean is still his vassal in legal theory.
Even if he didn't mind a small "family dispute" with his brother, Brandon didn't want to confront him face to face so soon. After all, Connor is the crown prince, and he must suffer in the end.
So something unexpected must happen, such as an enemy who has to use a magic spell to solve... The situation is very different.
Be sure to find out the truth.
"Everyone is watching outside to ensure the safety of the surrounding area." Brandon looked seriously at one of the guards: "no one is allowed to enter the warehouse until I get my order, okay?"
"Yes, your highness Brandon!"
Brandon de sallion, who was properly arranged and took a deep breath, walked slowly into the blocked warehouse.
………………………………
On the second floor of the warehouse, which was already in chaos and still had traces of fighting, a black haired wizard was sitting on a wooden box. The bright silver of his left hand was still flying at the fingertips and his right hand supported his head. His ugly expression seemed to write the word "helpless" directly on his face.
"What's going on?"
With the footsteps of the voice, the prince came out of the shadow. His exquisite face was also full of unhappiness, like a child who was not satisfied.
"Uh... Nothing. I've found evidence."
Loren held the knife in his back hand and pointed to the wooden box on which he was sitting: "this box contains evidence - 200 pounds of raw Mithril ore, which should have disappeared in the accounts of the furnace college."
"There are at least two such boxes in the warehouse. In addition to the other four warehouses, I'm afraid the total is no less than 3000 pounds - all of which are the ill gotten wealth saved by the 'honest' Dean in four years."
"It's not a small number. I have to look at him." Brandon's red eyes still stared at the black haired wizard's face.
"It's just the tip of the iceberg - if you really follow the records in the accounts, the raw Mithril ore in the 'blacklist' of the whole melting furnace town should be no less than 6000 pounds, plus 4000 pairs of 'non-existent' armor and supporting weapons, ordnance, vehicles and consumables - at least one Legion can be armed to the teeth!"
"What do you mean?"
"It means that either your brother, his Highness Prince Conrad of saxophone, keeps a 'ghost army' and a full-scale 'ghost cavalry' with empty weapons and arms, and no one; or this nonexistent army has become something real."
"Gold?" Brandon asked tentatively.
"What else?" Lauren shrugged.
"But it doesn't make sense - my beloved Royal brother Connor is the prince of saxophone. He owns half of the fiscal revenue of East saxophone. How can he be short of money?"
Brandon's face showed an incredible expression, but after seeing Lauren's meaningful expression, he seemed to understand something.
His beloved Royal brother Connor is not really "short of money", but some invisible expenses, otherwise people will find problems in the accounts.
"Underground trading?"
"Well, this is the most likely result I can find - strictly speaking, the dean of the melting furnace college did not lie. He is indeed a loyal minister, and making false accounts is only a black pot for your brother."
"Loyal minister... Is it to my beloved Royal brother, or to the desalion family?"
"Maybe for him, these two... Are actually the same thing." Lauren looked at Brandon with a thoughtful expression:
"After all, his highness Connor is the 13th supreme emperor of the Sark Empire - loyal to the future emperor. What's wrong?"
"That's right..." smiling Brandon murmured in the same meaningful whisper:
"So, what about another thing?"
"Another one?" Lauren blinked.
"My wizard adviser, don't pretend to be stupid, will you? Even if you don't say it, I have to take care of the aftermath for you."
Brandon flattened his mouth, as if looking at a friend who was causing him trouble; Especially when he himself liked to get into trouble, he pointed to the mess around him:
"Don't tell me you did it accidentally!"
"If I really tell you so..."
"Do you just want to be fired?" Brandon smiled brightly.
In order to keep this "job" that looks very profitable and has bright prospects, the black haired wizard who spread his hand had to "confess":
"I met a man, the guard Knight of fascism, the murderer who killed the whole team of 100 - he has been here all the time and seems to have been hiding for a long time."
"In furnace town?" Brandon's eyes lit up and frowned slightly: "could it be..."
"No, he arrived ahead of us, and he could not have known in advance that we would come here." Loren shook his head firmly. "So there can only be one explanation - that is, he and our destination, at least in the same direction."
"He wants to go to duanjieshan fortress. Why?"
"I want to know, but... You can see it too." Loren pointed to himself and the ruins around him: "people are not so willing to tell me."
"Therefore, we are not the only people who want to go to the fortress of duanjie mountain." Brandon has a clear expression and a stronger smile on the corners of his mouth:
"It doesn't look like the trip will be boring!"
