I, the Lord of the End

Chapter 25, Clues to the Second Artifact

In the Holy Empire, there are a total of three systems responsible for maintaining civil order and civil disputes.

Church judges, high-level arbitrators, arbitrators, and demon hunters are responsible for handling foreign forces' activities and religious-related disputes.

The Supreme Court of the Holy Empire and the principality courts under it, the local courts and circuit courts are responsible for handling lawsuits.

The civil servants are responsible for maintaining public order and social security, protecting social public interests, and safeguarding national interests by means of guidance, service, coercion, and punishment.

Undoubtedly, if there is no proof that the Shazang case involved a cult or internal religious disputes, the tribal knights are naturally fully responsible.

In this world, the military and police system has not yet developed to the point where there is a tendency to separate. A small number of professional knights are selected to be responsible for patrolling and handling various cases. Don't underestimate this position. This position is actually very popular among professional knights. Welcome, because apart from being able to receive an extra salary, the Tribunal Knight Officer also means power, and it also means an upward channel.

If you handle major and important cases well, you will have the opportunity to go directly to Tianting (from the great priest Cecilia).

Since Cecilia returned from the void to cast the Holy Seat, she has also used strong means to rectify the existing system of the Holy Empire. Due to her unquestionable authority and unique status as the Supreme Holy See, the Holy Empire has They all admit that she has the highest power to appoint and dismiss these three systems, which makes the three systems much cleaner and more efficient again.

For example, Sir Houghton in front of Sid, this tribune knight is serious, responsible, efficient and doesn't put on airs. He is known as "Uncle Houghton" on Baden Street, and he also takes the regular money he should get. , but he never evades the things he should be in charge of, so the residents and vendors on this street like him very much. When he patrols the street, he can often get some small gifts from the vendors, and children also like to join in the fun.

Sid liked Sir Horton's business ability very much before, but now he wished that Horton would be an old guy in his 50s who was about to retire and goof around!
Especially after hearing his name, Sid's face immediately became ugly, and he hurriedly checked left and right to see if anyone noticed.

Fortunately, it was noon at this time, and the master blacksmith and apprentices had temporarily left work to have lunch, and there was no one around.

There was still some time, Sid calmed down, and continued to stop and listen to any news.

"Sid? How come?!" The old horse's voice was extremely surprised.

"Look, old Mark, this is the relic of Sir Hoffman we found. In his diary and work notes, there is one person mentioned over and over again, that is Sid, the mercenary middleman." Sir Horton His attitude is resolute: "It can be seen that Hoffman seems to have been monitoring Sid, and there are many complaints in his notes, so Sid is the most likely murderer. You are familiar with Sid. Has he been strange recently? actions and strange behavior?"

"Well... It's a little bit to say, one night Sid suddenly came to me, he looked very flustered, as if he had committed some serious crime and wanted to hide from me." The old horse was silent for more than a minute, this time Only then said in a dry voice: "At that time I asked him what happened, and he said he killed someone!"

"Yes, this is this, this is this, can you explain in detail?" Sir Horton's voice immediately turned excited: "That's right, old horse, on behalf of the Helvetia Kingdom Council and Hoffman's family, I would like to express my sincere respect to you. Thank you so much for your help! Did Sid explain the process of committing the crime?"

"The process of committing the crime?" Lao Ma's voice felt a little hesitant: "He didn't tell me more, he just told me that he killed someone and needed a place to hide. He did ask me to send someone to investigate Huo Forman, our apprentices can testify to that."

"Well, let's go on, what did he ask you to investigate?" Sir Horton's voice was slightly disappointed.

"About more than a week ago..." The old horse had just opened his mouth when Sir Horton immediately interrupted roughly: "Wait, more than a week ago, are you sure?"

"Yes, it happened more than a week ago." Ma finally realized: "But didn't Hoffman happen yesterday afternoon?"

"Damn!" Sir Horton also realized the problem: "This time is not right!"

"Why can't I be right?"

"The hammers under my command searched for Sid's whereabouts overnight yesterday. At dusk yesterday, Sid himself appeared in the small town of Zermatt. Everyone in the town can testify, especially one family who is willing to swear to Jupiter." Sir Horton was full of annoyance: "There was no huge flying object coming and going yesterday, can that kid Sid still fly over?"

"So he didn't do it?"

"Your Majesty Cecilia is not far from here. We need evidence to arrest people. It's okay if Sid is Sivis Seuss, but he is obviously a descendant of Iquis who returned to his ancestors. This kind of person You can’t be locked up and tortured first.”

"No, when will this case be solved? People are panicking now. Don't affect my business!"

"What are you, I'm in trouble! The Kingdom Council only gave me two weeks, two weeks!"

Both people in the room let out disappointing voices. Even if Sid had a horse, it would take half a day to travel from Zermatt to Helvetia. Sid couldn't have teleported here, could he?
The people outside the house didn't listen anymore, Sid took an opportunity to jump over the wall of the blacksmith's shop and disappeared at the corner of the street.

The sun is so bright and dazzling.

The young white-haired boy looked a little groggy. He strolled on the crowded Rezlan Street for several minutes, trying to relieve the coldness emanating from the depths of his heart through lively scenes.

Sid knew that he would probably never go to Old Horse's blacksmith's guild again.

He admitted that Lao Ma's choice was not a big problem. Although Lao Ma's blacksmith guild was also open to mercenaries and ordinary people, the biggest source of income for the entire blacksmith guild came from official orders. This guy, as a wealthy Xi Wei The Sri Lankan class, and their ancestors have been active in the place of Rezlan as the master of the blacksmith guild for generations. His industry is rooted in Rezland, and everything he has is given by the kingdom or even the Holy Empire.

In this case, it is self-evident what choice Lao Ma will make.

He could understand that the old horse would make such a choice, but he was still very sad. The eternal god of the ring god suddenly realized a problem: the answers he got from his big sister before were too wonderful, which caused him to be confused about the reality to himself. There is also an illusion in the situation, that someone will understand him and someone will help him.

His rationality told him that this was impossible. The Seven Seals prophecy began to spread throughout the continent under the propaganda of the Church of the Gods in Heaven shortly after the first Holy Falcon Emperor stepped into the Void Realm for the second time. Almost everyone believed this prophecy.

Sid also doesn't like to deceive others. The old horse has helped him a lot, but he has a wife, children, relatives and friends, and hundreds of employees around him. His business depends on Rezlan and even the entire Holy Empire system. There is nothing wrong with doing so.

Just like what is the proudest thing about Lao Ma?It's because no one in their family has been involved in the game for more than 200 years.

But, why does it feel so uncomfortable?

Walking in the flow of people in Rezlan, I saw young mercenaries chatting and laughing together in small groups, seeing several mercenaries who successfully completed their commissions discussing where to go to celebrate, and looking at the vendors hawking on both sides of the street. De can feel that he is out of place with them.

The words of the ring god echoed in Sid's ears.

Sid Arboren, from this moment on you will be the enemy of the world!

Want power?

This is the price!

In his heart, Sid silently crossed out the names in the friend list one by one.

In the end, there were only three people left on the list, including the eldest sister, and Sid was sure that only these three people were the ones he could trust.

Without thinking about it, Sid changed to a blacksmith shop, used his anonymous identity to hand over the equipment to them for repairs, bought some fresh fish, meat and vegetables, and quickly returned to No. 12, Kram Street.

With the sound of the door closing, Sid let out a sigh of relief.

I'm safe, for now.

"Xiaoxi, are you back?" The elder sister's voice came from the kitchen, and Ilustias was already awake, and she was preparing dinner.

Pushing open the door of the kitchen, hot air came blowing in, the eldest sister Ilustias was standing in front of the cooking pot, holding a big spoon and seasoning, a light blue apron was covering the big sister's chest In front of her, her tall and plump body was tightly wrapped.

Proudly full and towering, the white shirt is bulging, and it seems that the button of the shirt can be undone with just a deep breath. Under the slender waist is a short skirt with hips and dark brown velvet stockings. Beautiful legs, petite jade feet Stepping on a pair of fluffy slippers, the snow-white skin is like a shadow under the semi-transparent coffee-colored silk stockings. The straight calves and small arches draw a beautiful arc, especially the whiteness and tightness exposed on the heel. A faint wrinkle at the ankle shows the gentleness of the owner.

"Xiao Xi, you're back? The beef will be ready in a while!" Seeing Sid come back, the eldest sister said happily with a spoon in her hand, "Sit down for a while."

"I'll help." Sid didn't just sit and wait to eat like many male chauvinists. He had no reason to ask the big sister to give unconditionally. He came to the big sister and helped her handle the ingredients.

"Is everything over?" The big sister's black pearl-like eyes were full of her brother's shadow, she looked at it for a while, and then said: "Can I have a good meal with my sister?"

Fortunately, I still have an older sister. The smell of food and the slight heat came to my face, and a faint smile appeared on Sid's originally lost face.

"Things are terrible." Sid stood beside the big sister and told the big sister what he had seen and heard.

Seeing the white-haired handsome boy with a gloomy expression, as if he had been crushed by a mammoth, Ilustias also lowered her head, her black bangs blocking her face: "Didn't I say that? Xiaoxi? Sunlight belongs to Everyone's, with my sister, you are all the light of my sister, but with others you must not think like this, you are not the only one for others, never think that you are the only one for others, this will hurt others, and even more so. hurt yourself."

"I know, I'm just a little sad, I can understand, really, I can understand." Sid also lowered his head, and after a few seconds, Sid raised his head and asked, "What was my sister's life like before?"

"Before my sister met Xiaoxi, there was no difference between life and death. Sometimes my sister really felt that it was better to die." The eldest sister was full of loneliness.

"What about before? Does my sister have no family or friends?" Sid was curious now.

"No, my sister only has Xiaoxi!"

"Liar." Sid squinted at the elder sister, and the boy put on an expression of disbelief.

"Then how about Xiaoxi just pretending that she was cheated by her sister once?" Iluth pursed her lips and snickered, the dumb hair on her head was shaking back and forth, it was obvious that the eldest sister was in a happy mood: "Quickly play dumb, my sister is responsible for complaining! "

"It's okay." Sid finally felt much better after being teased by the big sister.

"Hmm! Ever since Xiaoxi was promoted to the model rank, my sister always feels that you are deliberately alienating me." Ilustias said a little unhappy: "Did you find a girlfriend outside?"

"It's just a mercenary who licks blood with a knife, how can I find a girlfriend." Sid shook his head: "The main reason is to save more money."

"Xiao Xi must not imitate the bad, the women outside are very dirty." Iluth leaned forward with her hands on her hips and issued a justice warning, and her very capital justice also issued a warning along with her master.

"Okay, okay, okay." Sid said he knew.

The big sister just gave up.

The white-haired handsome boy knew in his heart that in the past two years, he had intentionally alienated his elder sister.

After all, he was getting older and his body was growing up, and some intimate behaviors before became inappropriate.

He purposely changed the subject: "It smells so good, my sister's roast beef is getting better and better."

"My sister has been practicing." The eldest sister said softly, "I know Xiaoxi likes to eat this."

"Yeah, there was once a Xunzong said that when the potatoes are cooked, add some beef, and that's the best." Sid smiled and said, "Okay, my sister is going to prepare beef with potatoes, and I'll make oatmeal and gingerbread !"

The siblings worked together to cook a sumptuous dinner.

Ilustias seldom ate. She drank a small bowl of oatmeal with milk and said she was full. Then she put her chin on her hands and stared at Sid to eat, as if watching Sid eat more than herself It's even more enjoyable to eat.

Sid ignored the big sister's eyes and focused on eating.

Until he was half full, he inadvertently raised his head and glanced at the Holy Grail of Sin that he had placed on the table.

The pupils of the white-haired handsome boy suddenly widened.

There is something reflected in the extremely dirty black-red mud of the Holy Grail of Sin.

A small sculpture of an angel without a head and arms.

Sid immediately realized that this was the second artifact he was looking for!

What caught Sid's attention even more was that the big sister also saw the scene in the Holy Grail of Sin. The big sister who was exuding a gentle smile on her face changed slightly, and then sighed heavily.

"Sister, do you know what this thing is?" Sid asked immediately.

"How could my sister not recognize me?" Seeing his younger brother's resolute expression, the elder sister could only whisper, "Angel's tears, the only consolation for the devastated Angel clan after the Elder War, a souvenir of that war."

"Can you tell me in detail?" Sid put down the bowl and spoon.
