Text Chapter 505 The cause of the incident

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Hannibal realized how dangerous it was for him to fall in love with an elf slave. Later, he learned that his wife was pregnant. He was both happy and worried.  Originally, Hannibal covered up the matter tightly, not wanting outsiders to know that he married an elf and gave birth to a child.  But there is no airtight wall in this world. Those nobles who have been spying on the wealth of the Durant Chamber of Commerce don't know how to learn Hannibal's secret.  Later, the matter naturally spread to the Holy See. The Holy See sent two red archbishops, led by those nobles, to break into Hannibal's mansion and take away his wife and son.  Hannibal was still busy with a big business elsewhere at the time. When he returned home later, he only saw the fragmented bodies of his wife and children.  Because he gave birth to a child with an elf, he was regarded as a heretic, his property was taken away, and he was expelled from the Kingdom of Vidocq.  At this point, the former Durant Chamber of Commerce fell like a dazzling meteor, and Hannibal Durant, the legendary businessman, also disappeared.  "On Mundoc's Judgment Day, it turned out that the elf slave and child who were burned alive were the wife and son of Hannibal Durrant." Grand Duke Stella concluded.  ¡°I also heard a little bit about the incident ten years ago, but I didn¡¯t expect it to turn into what it is today.¡± Snowven next to him agreed and sighed.  "So, this Hannibal Durrant killed so many nobles out of revenge?" Gabrielda frowned.  "It's really unreasonable. He secretly married an elf slave and gave birth to a cursed child secretly. So, this guy named Hannibal deserved his death. How dare he come back for revenge?" Goldman said in a tone of voice.  Arrogance said.  "Prince Goldman is right. This Hannibal is simply a heretic. On Mondoc's trial day, the Federation spared his life because of his contribution to the Durant Chamber of Commerce.  I didn¡¯t expect that even if I was ungrateful now, I would still have the nerve to come back. The most abominable thing is that he killed so many nobles. "A man wearing a crown.  echoed the bloated king.  "Yes, this kind of heretic should be killed." "To avenge the death of those nobles, we cannot let such a terrible guy live." "He will be cursed by the gods and go to hell after death."   The group of nobles became more and more excited as they talked, accusing Hannibal of his crimes and calling him a devil, a devil, as if they wanted to push him to the stake and burn him to death.  Ruan Chi sat there and watched with cold eyes, feeling disgusted looking at the faces of these people.  Seriously, if you haven¡¯t heard about Hannibal¡¯s past.  Ruan Chi's thoughts were similar to those of these nobles.  Hannibal once used the power of the Phantom Ring to let Ruan Chi "kill" his mother once in the nightmare world.  Ruan Chi was really angry at that time.  However, now that he heard Hannibal¡¯s story and the faces of these nobles in front of him, Ruan Chi felt that these nobles were even more hateful than Hannibal.  If it weren¡¯t for the nobles who were greedy for Hannibal¡¯s property to tip off the events of that year and lead people to cause trouble, Hannibal might not be where he is today.  ¡°In the final analysis, the culprit is still these ugly guys in front of us.  Of course, Ruan Chi was unhappy, but he had no intention of letting Hannibal stand up and speak. During the entire meeting, he basically sat there and watched, with no intention of speaking.  This meeting to denounce Hannibal lasted all morning, and when Ruan Chi left, it was already lunch time.  Although Grand Duke Stella tried to persuade Ruan Chi to stay for lunch, Ruan Chi was not interested in it and refused without any dignity.  Once again, the nobles were envious and jealous on the spot.  Damn it, you actually refused Grand Duke Stella¡¯s personal invitation?  This guy really doesn't know how to appreciate others. Almost all the nobles present at the time shouted in their hearts.  "What a pity. Why did you refuse Archduke Stella's invitation? Do you know how many people in the Federation have no chance to meet him? Wouldn't it be too stupid for you to refuse like this?" Coming out of the conference hall, Shirley didn't  Know how many times to complain.  "Didn't I ask you to stay and eat with him? It was you who wanted to leave." Ruan Chi rolled his eyes.  "What do you know, I'm afraid that you are unfamiliar with life outside alone" Shirley said anxiously, with a panicked expression.  Ruan Chi knew at a glance that she was not telling the truth, but he just smiled and did not point her out.  We still have lunch at Grand Duke Stella¡¯s residence.?Anyway, that girl Diana helped arrange it. If you don't eat, you won't get it.  This girl Diana originally wanted to follow, but her father, Grand Duke Stella, would not let her go. Before Ruan Chi left, he still remembered her pitiful look at that time.  First, they went back to the room to find Jialan and An Peiqi, and then the four of them walked towards the banquet hall of the Grand Duke Stella's mansion, which was used to entertain distinguished guests.  It has to be said that Diana¡¯s house is really big. The garden alone is two hectares in size. There are rockeries and fountains everywhere, and its magnificence is comparable to that of the palace.  Since the road was too far and a carriage was needed to get in and out, it took Ruan Chi half an hour to get from the room where he stayed last night to the place where he had dinner.  "So, rich people are so idle that they only have a meal at their own home, and they actually have to take a carriage for half an hour. What the hell is this?" Ruan Chi said as he got off the carriage.  "But how many people want to become a noble? After all, it is better to be a noble than a commoner." Shirley covered her mouth and smiled.  "Since you think nobles are good, why do you want to be the captain of the guard? Wouldn't it be good to stay at home and get married in peace?" Ruan Chi looked at her strangely and said.  "You're right, I know it's a bit contradictory, but I really don't want to live the life of a lady trapped in a cage." Shirley said quietly.  Ruan Chi couldn¡¯t understand Shirley¡¯s thoughts, but he wasn¡¯t ready to understand it in depth anyway. After getting off the carriage, he was led by the maids.  Go through a huge courtyard.  Finally we arrived at the banquet hall where we had lunch.  Although it¡¯s just lunch.  But it was not simple at all for the nobles. Looking at the luxurious banquet hall in front of him, and a group of neatly dressed, oily-haired and pink-faced nobles hanging around there, Ruan Chi couldn't help but regret a little.  "If I had known earlier, I would have asked that girl Diana to deliver food to my room" Ruan Chi said, holding his forehead.  "Come on, it's just a meal. Just leave immediately after eating." Shirley didn't feel uncomfortable at all, because she was also a noble.  It's easy to get used to this kind of scene.  Fortunately, lunch was a buffet. Ruan Chi found a corner where it was less noticeable and sat down, asking Jialan and An Peiqi to get the food.  After waiting for a while, Jialan came back first and placed a pile of barbecued meats in front of Ruan Chi. After such a period of time together, she had a pretty good idea of ??Ruan Chi's taste.  Ruan Chi grabbed a piece, put it in his mouth, took a bite, and then said to Jialan, "Sit down and eat too!" Jialan was slightly startled, but without saying anything else, he sat down directly next to Ruan Chi.  Shirley sat opposite and secretly glanced at the two of them.  She murmured in her heart that she was actually interested in Ruan Chi.  The relationship between Jialan and An Peiqi is also very curious.  On the surface, Jialan and An Peiqi seemed to be Ruan Chi's maids, but the tone and attitude of the three people's conversation did not feel like this at all.  Reminiscent of Jialan and An Peiqi¡¯s strange demonic transformations in the Night Demon Wetland, Shirley became even more curious about the identities of the two women.  But Shirley understood that even if she asked Ruan Chi such a question, he probably wouldn't answer it. Thinking of this, Shirley silently gave up the plan.  Jialan had almost eaten half of the barbecue he brought back, but Ruan Chi noticed at this time that An Peiqi, who also went out to get food, had not come back yet.  Jialan seemed to have noticed something. She put down the knife and fork in her hand and stood up and said calmly: "I'm going to find Sister An Peiqi!" "Yeah! Go!" Ruan Chi nodded.  After Jialan left, Shirley came over secretly and asked, "Um, Ruan Chi, after finishing this lunch, what are your plans next?" "What plans?" Ruan Chi kept stuffing meat into his mouth.  , while looking at her strangely, not understanding why she suddenly asked this question.  Shirley coughed lightly, and then whispered: "Now that the Hollow Murder Case has been solved, there is no reason for me to ask you to stay and help me. So, I want to know what you plan to do next?" "Of course, go back.  Home" As soon as Ruan Chi started speaking, he suddenly thought of something and looked at Shirley again, "Wait a minute, you just said that the case has been solved, what do you mean? Didn't Hannibal's people not be caught?  We haven't caught him, but since the murderer has been identified as Hannibal and the Dream Circus behind him, it won't be difficult to catch him in the future," Shirley said with a smile.  "It's not a difficult thing? Haha, you were obviously very busy before, so how come things suddenly become 'not a difficult thing' in your mouth?" "You may not know this. The reason why we couldn't catch anyone before is  Because we don't know who the murderer is, we??Looking for a needle in a haystack wastes a lot of manpower and material resources.  Now that it is known that it is Hannibal, based on the federal intelligence network, as soon as the wanted order is released, unless Hannibal escapes from the human race, he will be arrested within half a month.  "Shirley said in a very positive tone. "What you said seems to make sense.  Ruan Chi nodded when he heard this. Indeed, if the federation releases news, it is estimated that the entire Free Federation will want Hannibal. At that time, unless Hannibal did not eat or drink, he would not be able to stay in the wild unless he left the human race.  Also, as long as he really intends to leave the human race, he will either use a cross-race teleportation array or cross the racial border. But no matter which method is used, Hannibal will attract the attention of all parties as soon as he leaves the country. At that time, the Federation will only send a message.  With one or two god-level masters like Saint Snowin of the Storm, Hannibal will naturally be unable to fly. ¡°No, if Hannibal falls into the hands of the Federation, your credit will be lost.  Ruan Chi suddenly looked at Shirley and smiled. "You don't have to worry about this. In fact, after the battle in the Night Demon Wetland last night, you have already helped me win a lot of credit."  "Shirley said. "Eh?  How do you say this?  "It's all because of you that you seriously injured Hannibal. Now that Hannibal has lost an arm, his combat effectiveness will definitely be reduced sharply, which will definitely be of great help to the subsequent capture operation. And you are the adventurer I invited back, so  The credit naturally goes to me.  " "Hey, hey, why should you take all the credit? How about me?  Ruan Chi felt something was wrong when he heard that, and quickly put down his knife and fork and shouted: "Didn't you say that the Free Federation issued a bounty to the Adventurer's Guild?"  Since I helped you seriously injure Hannibal, part of the reward should belong to me.  " "Did I hear correctly?  You seem to have said that you don't really care about the bonuses.  " "This" "Is there any?  Have I ever said this?  " Ruan Chi decided to pretend to be stupid. " Shirley had never seen such a shameless person, but even though she was angry, she didn't mind him raising the issue of remuneration, so she patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, you will definitely be indispensable when it comes to money. Take risks."  I will apply to the Workers' Union for you as soon as possible.  " "You are not ungrateful.  " Ruan Chi curled his lips, felt relieved and grabbed the knife and fork again to continue his lunch. "Strange, why have your two maids been away for so long without coming back?  "Shirley suddenly said again. "You put it like that, it seems a bit long.  " "I'll go find them.  " "Wait, I'm going too.  " Ruan Chi thought for a while and decided to go and have a look. The two walked to the place where the food was placed in the banquet hall, but they couldn't find Jialan and An Peiqi there. However, Shirley spoke carefully and the banquet  There seemed to be a lot of people gathered in the courtyard outside the hall. ¡°They are there!  " Ruan Chi saw the names above Jialan and An Peiqi's heads in the crowd from a distance. He walked out without saying a word, and Shirley naturally followed quickly. " There were indeed many people gathered outside the courtyard. They seemed to have been at the banquet.  The nobles enjoying lunch in the hall didn't know why these guys suddenly ran out. As soon as Ruan Chi approached, he knew what had happened, because he saw Goldman in the crowd. This guy was not with Ste.  Want to invite the Grand Duke to dine with you? Why did you come here? Seeing Goldman, Ruan Chi felt strange. As the crown prince of the third largest country in the Federation, Goldman was originally invited by Grand Duke Stella, but now he showed up.  Here, it seemed, he was carrying Jialan and An Peiqi. Ruan Chi could hear the guy's mean laughter from a distance. "I just wanted to invite two beautiful ladies to have lunch together. Everyone said that this is rare."  Also wrong?  "Goldman put on an innocent expression and said to the nobles who were watching. An Peiqi was surrounded in the middle, with an expression of shame and anger on her face. Jialan was also beside her. Although her face was expressionless, Ruan Chi was far away.  He could feel the killing intent in her eyes. Although Ruan Chi didn't mind Jialan killing Goldman here, after all, this was Diana's place, and Ruan Chi didn't want to push away the onlookers if possible.  As the crowd walked in, Ruan Chi deliberately shouted: "Hey, Prince Goldman, why are you teasing my maid here?  Doesn't your butt hurt anymore?  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
