Chapter 677 Obstructions are everywhere
After a somewhat laborious exchange, the three finally understood what had happened.
These farmers were hired by Marquis Madison. They only needed to focus on farming and didn't need to worry about anything else.
They also handed over all the sales of agricultural products to Marquis Madison.
In terms of process.
All harvested and processed crops would be taken away by the transport caravan arranged by Marquis Madison. These farmers didn't have to worry about being fooled by merchants at too low a price, or not having enough time to sell those fruits and vegetables that were difficult to store, which would rot and waste in vain.
When Marquis Madison received the payment from the caravan, he would give the farmers the share they should give.
Now that Madison is dead, these farmers are immediately at a loss.
They don't know where to go to get the money that belongs to them, nor do they know what to do next.
Prince Vladin had a headache. He tried hard to explain to these people:
"Everyone, the L.G Chamber of Commerce is responsible for guaranteeing the agreement, so even if something happens to Marquis Madison, you don't have to worry. The people from the Chamber of Commerce will come to deal with these things."
But the farmers don't know what the Chamber of Commerce is.
They only pay attention to the most closely related and important things to themselves:
"When will the people from the Chamber of Commerce come?"
"How do they plan to solve it? How long will it take us to get the money?"
"Sir, will there be a new Marquis here in the future?"
Prince Vladin scratched his head helplessly: "So, is this okay, everyone, I will help you find someone from the L.G Chamber of Commerce!"
"He will come here before dark to help you solve the problem!"
If it were someone else.
In the face of the demands made by these farmers, they can simply turn a blind eye and pretend that the other party does not exist.
But Vladin can't.
He is the future king of this kingdom. Any citizen in the kingdom has the responsibility and obligation to take good care of them.
It's okay if you don't know.
The farmers took the initiative to seek his help, so he had to do everything he could to help them.
Turning his head helplessly, Fradin apologized to Pete and Rena.
"You saw it too. Sorry, I can't go with you to investigate the Marquis's manor."
"I have to go back to the capital first and find the people from the L.G Chamber of Commerce who are responsible for this matter."
Fradin and Rena naturally had no objection.
"Your Highness, don't worry. Leave the investigation to us. If we find anything, we will tell you."
...
Prince Fradin turned around and got on the carriage he came from and returned to the capital.
Only Pete and Rena were left at the scene.
"Let's go and see what happened in the manor."
The two held hands and walked towards the "main gate" of the Marquis's manor.
It was called the main gate, but in fact, after being burned by the flames, only half of the collapsed wall and a large gap were left. The originally magnificent arched gate had completely collapsed.
Four people from the Church of the God of Radiance stood outside the door, dressed like crusaders.
Pete and Reina walked forward.
"Hey, don't get close!"
One of them saw Pete and Reina, and immediately clenched the silver one-handed hammer in his hand and shouted to stop them.
"It's very dangerous here. No one is allowed to approach. This is for your safety!"
Pete raised his hand helplessly and rubbed out an arcane spark.
"Sir, we are not irrelevant."
"You may have heard of my name. I am Pete Chinar. I just met His Majesty the King a few days ago."
"We heard about the Marquis Madison's manor. We can help you investigate and see if there are any useful clues here."
Hearing this, the other party looked at Pete with a little suspicion.
Finally, he shook his head firmly:
"I'm sorry, sir, ma'am."
"The order we received is to protect this place. Only those who are allowed can enter. There are still dangerous evil gods inside."
"I can't let you in before I get the order."
Pet frowned: "Then how can I get permission?"
The other party shook his head very singlely: "Sorry, I don't know."
"The order I received came from my superior. Maybe you can go to the Holy Land of Glory. There should be someone in charge of this matter."
At the entrance of the manor, he hit a soft nail.
Pet didn't expect that they would not be able to get in!
Although from the process point of view, there is nothing wrong with the practice of these crusaders. On the one hand, it is to prevent irrelevant people from entering and getting hurt, and on the other hand, it also avoids the destruction of the scene due to too many people.
But this makes Pete very uncomfortable.
Leave like this?
That would be a waste of time, and no clues were found.
But they have no reason to force their way in.
What makes Pete even more helpless is that they came in Prince Fradin's carriage.
The carriage was well-equipped in every aspect, with great speed and comfort, so it took less than half a day to get here.
If you want to walk back to the capital, it will take a long time!
Prince Fradin had to return early to solve the troubles of the nearby farmers, and Pete and Reina lost the means to return to the capital quickly.
Calculate the time.
They might as well wait there until Prince Fradin comes with the head of the L.G Chamber of Commerce.
Presumably, with Prince Fradin's status, if he wants to enter the Marquis's manor, no one should dare to stop him.
"How can it be such a coincidence? Tsk... It would be better if the prince could leave a little later."
Pete frowned, and he had that strange feeling again, just like he instinctively suspected that Rune Monger was problematic based on his intuition.
Since they came here, the ubiquitous obstructions are trying to delay them and prevent them from entering the Marquis Madison's manor.
Rena suddenly sniffed carefully in the direction of the Marquis's manor:
"Sniff-sniff-"
Then she made a surprised nasal sound:
"Huh?!"
"What's wrong?" Pete shook his head and put aside his intuition for the time being.
Rena leaned close to Pete's ear and lowered her voice:
"I smell the sulfur smell of the devil's spell!"
Pete felt his heart jump suddenly.
If we talk about the person who is most closely related to the devil near the capital of Starosh, there is only one person, and that is Rune Monger!
Think about it carefully.
Marquis Madison is indeed very close to Rune Monger.
He usually stays in Monger Manor.
During that banquet, his presence was also very strong.
Even these local farmers, in the agreement they signed with Marquis Madison, the L.G Chamber of Commerce, which was the intermediary guarantor, was also an industry under the name of Rune Monger!
This fire is inextricably linked to Rune Monger.
This richest man has once again become the key man in the incident!
...
And 2+1
