This knight is too perfect

Chapter 94 Scarlet Game
It was a moonless and cloudy night.

In a vineyard outside Adrian.

At this moment, inside the manor, several mysterious men in long robes with their hats pointed high were directing a group of slaves to arrange something in the manor.

"Are you sure everything needed for the ceremony is ready?"

After working for a while, a mysterious man in a red robe and a tall hat came to the open space in the manor and asked the people around him.

"Well, sir, everything needed for the ceremony has been prepared in advance to ensure that there will be no accidents."

In response to this answer, the mysterious man said calmly: "This ceremony is very important, very important, so no matter how confident you are, go check it for me again."

"If we wait until the evening when the distinguished guests arrive, something might go wrong with the ceremony."

"By then, not to mention you, even I can't afford the consequences, understand?"

Hearing the other party's extremely serious tone and the warning contained in that tone.

The bald slave owner immediately bent down and assured, "Don't worry, sir, there will be absolutely no accidents. I guarantee it with my life."

"On your life?"

The mysterious man smiled, and then held the other's head with one hand.

Although it was just a simple action, it made the bald slave owner immediately feel a strong sense of uneasiness.

It was as if the person holding his head at this moment was not a human at all, but a ferocious beast that would eat anyone at any time.

"Your life is worthless and cannot be guaranteed, but..."

The mysterious man loosened his hand on the bald slave master's head and said calmly, "...But compared to those toys used to please the guests, the life of a tool like you is actually worth a bit."

"So, next time if I find out you brought someone you don't know to the manor, he'll be your fate."

After saying that, other men in robes nearby carried a corpse that was already unrecognizable.

And threw it in front of the slave owner.

Looking at the corpse's hollowed-out eyeballs, and its cut-off nose and ears.

Even the most ruthless slave owner was frightened by this tragic scene.

He collapsed to the ground in fear, and then began to move backwards using his hands and feet.

Get as far away from this body as possible.

After seeing this scene, the mysterious man in red robe said nothing more and turned to walk towards the manor.

At the same time, some other slaves who were making arrangements also noticed the situation here and saw the corpse on the ground with their own eyes.

This made them work even harder, fearing that they would become the next cold corpse.

Inside the vineyard.

The mysterious man in red robe passed through a dimly lit passage and came to a luxurious box alone.

"Master, everything has been done. The spy sent by the second master has also been caught by my people, and I have made sure that he will not be able to speak."

After reporting his work, the mysterious man in red robe took off his mask.

The person revealed under the mask was none other than the leader of the Rust Mercenaries, Dunkel.

"Really? It seems that my dear brother must have found out some information, otherwise he wouldn't have sent people here."

As he said that, Remi pushed the dazed girl away from his arms.

The upper body naked came in front of Dunkel.

"Duenkel, how many years have you been with me?"

Faced with this question, Dunkel said without hesitation: "Ten years, Master Remi."

"Ten years?"

Remi looked up and thought for a moment, as if trying to calculate whether the number Duncol said was wrong.

However, this problem was undoubtedly too difficult for him, who was in a noble position.

After all, he rarely paid attention to Dunkel on weekdays.

Fortunately, Remi is not completely ignorant of the art of getting to the top.

He looked at Dunkel who was half kneeling in front of him and said with a smile: "Time flies, Dunkel. Who would have thought that the little guy who could only serve tea and pour water in the mercenary group back then would now be the leader of a mercenary group with a hundred people."

Upon hearing this, Du Enkeer immediately said respectfully: "All this is thanks to the cultivation of the eldest master, otherwise I would not be where I am today."

In the face of Duncol's flattery, Remi smiled nonchalantly, and then picked up the red wine beside him.

He did not observe any aristocratic etiquette and simply opened the cork of the red wine with his hand and took a sip from the bottle.

The bright red wine went down his throat, and the remaining wine slid down his neck.

It dripped onto the extremely valuable carpet at his feet.

After taking a sip, Remi wiped the red wine from the corner of his mouth.

"Duenkel, do your best. I won't stay in this winery forever, and this winery will definitely have to find a new owner. I have confidence in you."

Hearing this, Dunkel's expression suddenly became excited.

Because he understood the meaning of Remi's words.

"Yes!"

Remi smiled and patted Duncol's shoulder, then stood up and walked to the door.

Seeing him coming, two beautiful maids immediately put a tiger skin robe on Remi.

At the same time, one of the maids brought a mask that had been prepared long ago to Remi.

And that mask was actually a white tiger mask.

Remi put on the mask, got up and left his room.

"Rhine, are you sure everything is alright? You know, this time is different from the last time. This time we are facing a small group of the best people in the whole of Adrian."

"And once these people know that we are the ones who are interfering, let alone a mere viscount."

"Even if my father came in person, he might not be able to escape unscathed."

"After all, to these people, a viscount without territory is nothing."

In the carriage, Enrico looked at Rhine who was sitting opposite him with an anxious look on his face, and his fat body began to squirm uncontrollably.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he had already passed his coming-of-age ceremony and was already nineteen years old.

He was indeed not as steady as the thirteen-year-old Rhine in front of him.

Even though he was short, he looked about the same height as Rhine, both of them were around 1.67 meters.

But the age gap between the two is real.

Facing the nervous Enrico, Rhine smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master Enrico, you will be fine."

I don’t know whether it was Rhine’s comfort that worked or whether Enrico adjusted himself well.

As the carriage drove out of Adrian, Enrico's nervous expression gradually calmed down.

He clenched the wild boar mask he had prepared in advance in his hand, as if he had made some decision.

"Rhine, by doing this, we are saving a large number of innocent people, right?"

"Ah."

"That's fine, that's fine..."

Seeing that Enrico had calmed down, Rhine immediately turned his head to look at the moonless, cloudy sky outside the carriage.

In the sky, a crow was seen following the carriage where Rhine was and circling continuously.

On the other side of the crow, a complete team of church paladins were looking up at the crow.

"Captain, when are we going to take action? I can't wait to purify those evil heretics." Upon hearing the words of his team members, a gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the Paladin captain under his helmet.

He withdrew his gaze from Shadow Crow and said calmly, "Don't worry. The banquet hasn't started yet. Those heretics will definitely not sit at the table so early."

"So we need to be more patient and wait for those beasts to show up."

"At that time, the holy fire of our Lord will illuminate all the haze and purify the extremely filthy bodies and souls of those guys."

After hearing the captain's words, the Paladins who were originally a little restless quickly calmed down.

Because they had experienced many heresy trials, they knew the importance of patience.

After all, sewer rats are good at hiding.

If they were not patient enough, they might have accidentally let these guys escape.

And if they missed this opportunity, they were not sure they would have such a good opportunity to prove their piety to the Lord again.

Except for this complete team of Paladins on the hill.

The church has now specially arranged another group of people.

After all, although the Beyonders are powerful, their numbers are still few and far between.

Especially in the Principality of Morton where the church is weak.

Therefore, if they want to quickly control everyone in a chaotic scene.

That's in addition to the powerful team of extraordinary knights.

They also need a certain number of ordinary soldiers.

But it is not an easy task to send out a group of mortal soldiers in Adrian quietly and without alerting anyone.

Fortunately, the church has a good relationship with Second Young Master Ian.

As a result, they finally got help from Ian.

On the sea behind the hill where the Paladin team is located.

A warship with its number removed and its flag covered.

At this moment, it was heading towards them silently.

This warship is also another important trump card of the church besides the Paladin Squadron tonight.

"Master Ian, are you sure we don't need to inform Lord Randy of our actions tonight?"

On the warship, Captain Vance of the Third Fleet of the Adrian Harbor Guard looked at Ian standing on the bow and couldn't help asking.

Although Ian's reason for mobilizing them was to wipe out a pirate stronghold that had been hiding in Adrian.

But the smart Vance knew very well that their action this time was definitely not as simple as Ian said.

Because although the pirates are cunning, they are not bold enough to set up their base directly in the suburbs so close to Adrian.

The places where pirates prefer to set up bases are probably those uninhabited islands around the waterways.

But facing Ian's orders, Vance didn't dare to disobey.

After all, although he is the captain of a fleet of the Harbor Guard, he is nothing compared to Ian.

He is nothing as a captain...

Looking at Ian who was always standing at the bow, Vance felt inexplicably uneasy.

"After tonight, Adrian might become lively. I just hope that the noise won't affect me..."

"Please show us your invitations, both of you."

At the foot of the vineyard, a manor attendant wearing a "big yellow dog" mask asked the two guests in a friendly manner.

Rhine, wearing a 'crow mask', and Enrico, wearing a 'wild boar mask', presented their invitations respectively.

After confirming the invitation was correct, the attendant bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you both for coming to Red Grape Manor. I sincerely hope that you can spend a happy and fulfilling night here."

After that, two maids in revealing clothes and wearing half rabbit masks came forward to receive Rhine and Enrico.

In response, Rhine said calmly: "I don't need it, just prepare it for the young master."

Hearing this, even though he was wearing a mask, Enrico's eyes still visibly lit up.

He looked at the two hot maids dressed as bunny girls, and without caring whether he could handle it or not, he immediately hugged one of them, laughed and said, "Hahaha, you really understand me, Crow. You should know that I am not a good person except for being lustful."

After saying that, Enrico paid attention to the gazes of others around him, hugged the two bunny girls and got into the carriage specially prepared by the manor.

Before getting in the car, Rhine quietly glanced at the woods in the distance.

I saw that in the woods, there was an owl statue placed at a certain distance.

If someone looks from the air, they will find that these owl statues are not only scattered all over the hill where the Red Grape Manor is located.

It even appears to be an encirclement, completely surrounding the entire red grape estate.

"A special tool specifically used to detect special fluctuations? It's exactly what I thought."

In the carriage, Rhine recalled the owl statues and fell into deep thought.

His silence was noticed by Enrico, who was immersed in beauty.

He pretended to be casual and said, "What's wrong, Crow? Are you regretting giving one of the maids to me?"

Hearing this, Rhine came back to his senses and replied, "No, it's just that what I saw and heard along the way shocked me greatly."

"is it?"

Hearing this, Enrico smiled and said nothing more.

He knew that Rhine didn't want to talk to him too much because there were outsiders present.

But considering the relationship between Rhine and Lilitha.

And the assurances Miss Haley and he had made some time ago.

Enrico finally suppressed his anxiety.

After all, as an actor, he only needs to focus on his performance.

As for the accidents that may occur later, it depends on the performance of director Rhine.

After driving for about half an hour, the carriage finally stopped.

"Good evening, my two distinguished guests."

As soon as Rhine and Enrico got off the carriage, another servant wearing a "big yellow dog mask" came towards them.

The two of them were currently standing in front of a luxurious manor.

And at this location, there were many carriages that they had just taken parked.

Those who got off the carriage were wearing various animal masks.

But from their gorgeous clothes and superior behavior, it is not difficult to judge that they are definitely rich or noble.

And looked at Rhine and the other two who stopped in front of the mansion and did not go in immediately.

Several distinguished guests passing by immediately cast teasing glances at him.

It was obvious that he was mocking the two people's dullness and their poor and naive appearance.

"My two distinguished guests, please do not stop here. Please follow me."

"I will explain to you all about the various interesting projects in the Red Grape Manor, as well as the specific start time of the Scarlet Game and the auction along the way."

Hearing the servant's words, Rhine and Enrico nodded, and immediately followed each other into this magnificent manor house...

PS: Now that the groundwork has been laid, the subsequent plots will be easier to write.

We should be able to resume daily updates again.
