Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

Chapter 339 Arrest

In Anjou, Alberto was waiting for some news.

The return of high-level professionals has a much greater impact on Anjou than Capet. After all, Alberto and Linde’s technology trees are different, and professionals occupy an absolute dominant position on Alberto’s side.

What’s more, the high-level professionals have returned.

For Alberto, this is a challenge, but also an opportunity. Although these high-level professionals not only have bad habits, but some of them also have their own power backgrounds and are extremely difficult to control, as long as they are used properly, they can greatly enhance Anjou's overall strength.

In front of Alberto is a force of professionals who have completely surrendered to Alberto.

"Still no news?"

Alberto was getting a little impatient. The members of the Black Crow Secret Party had clearly said that there would be results from Capet soon, and that Alberto just had to wait in the hall for news about the returning raven.

That’s right, the Black Crow Secret Party chose to have it both ways. Not only had they surrendered to Alberto, they also wanted to secretly manipulate the situation in Capet.

At this time, the people under the Black Crow Secret Party were sweating profusely. This shouldn't be the case. Even if Raven's assassination failed, it would be absolutely easy for him to escape and report the news. Who could stop an eighth-level professional who was proficient in assassination?

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. After all, Capet is not an easy target. But even if the assassination fails, Lord Raven will have news."

Hearing the Black Crow secret party say this, Alberto said irritably: "Weren't you the ones who said it would be easy to disrupt the Capetian situation?"

The members of the Black Crow Secret Party looked at each other helplessly. At this moment, the professional in charge of communications finally stepped into the hall.

Alberto frowned after taking a look and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, is there any news from the Ravens?"

A member of the Black Crow secret party stepped forward cautiously to inquire, after all, Alberto seemed to be in a very bad mood.

"Yes, but no."

Upon hearing this answer, all the members of the Black Crow Secret Party fainted. It was not until Alberto threw the message down weakly that the members of the Black Crow Secret Party realized that this was not a message from the ravens, but a letter sent by the Governor of the Northern Territory.

Raven's assassination attempt failed, or rather, it was discovered before it even started, and he was captured in the opponent's capital. The opponent's governor directly demanded that Alberto compensate for the losses caused in the process of capturing Raven, and asked Alberto to explain clearly.

Although Raven has most likely not revealed Alberto's presence behind this action, it's easy to tell with your toes that Alberto is involved in this matter, or even if he is not involved, it doesn't matter.

Alberto seemed to be sprayed with spit in the face again. Although Alberto felt that he had gotten used to it, ever since he started communicating with the Northern Governor, Alberto felt that he was either being scolded or on the way to being scolded.

The members of the Black Crow Secret Party below immediately began to plead guilty, but Alberto just waved his hand.

What can be done now? Forget it, I'd better deny it and get criticized. Shamelessness is just the most basic skill of a king.

What Alberto was more concerned about was how an eighth-level professional who was proficient in assassination was captured in Capet. Has any high-level professional already joined Capet's camp?

......

Raven will probably never forget the scene when those red-robed nuns stepped into the cafe. That was the first time Raven felt what pressure was.

When he first saw these red-robed nuns rushing towards him, Raven was quite disdainful. How could these nuns catch him? With just a casual Shadow Escape Magic, Raven felt that he could escape.

But soon the raven knew what a city wall was.

These nuns actually have a simple barrier that can eliminate shadows, and these barriers can also move with these nuns!

Raven's Shadow Escape could penetrate physical city walls, but it could not rush across these barriers that were clearly designed to target it. Even when Raven hid in other shadows, it was still illuminated by the holy light of these nuns.

The other party was obviously well prepared, and all the magic was used to prevent the raven from escaping.

This was completely different from the battle that Raven had imagined. Even if he was ambushed, shouldn't the opponent be a mid-level professional with a bunch of younger brothers to surround him, but then escape after being fooled by him?

These nuns wore strange masks, red robes, held chainswords in one hand and holy light in the other, and launched a saturation attack on the Ravens.

Hiding in the shadows does not mean true invincibility, but more of a means of avoiding damage and adjusting position.

Raven once used rainwater to practice, and when he was in good condition, he could even use various magic to avoid getting wet on rainy days. But the rain would eventually stop, but those tongues of fire seemed to never stop.

After a desperate resistance, the Raven was still captured. The enemy was obviously well prepared. They surrounded it and used an uninterrupted supply of resources to consume it, leaving the Raven with no extra energy to break out.

The raven was killed by the holy light, or more directly, it was killed by being hit by money.

Of course, if other forces were to use such extravagant means and abundant resources to intercept a person, they would probably feel distressed for a long time. However, for the nuns, it was just a practical exercise to test the compatibility of the mobile barrier.

Flora carefully observed the high-level assassin through the mask. She originally thought that this operation would be very dangerous, but it turned out that high-level assassins were not that mysterious, at least not as mysterious as the group of crazy people in the lantern dream.

With the awakening of the goddess, the nuns' holy light has gradually returned. Flora can even feel that her own holy light is more abundant than before, and her divine arts are more handy. Even high-level professionals cannot escape Flora's holy light.

All this is because of the Governor. The nuns now believe in Lind himself rather than the goddess, especially when the nuns find that the holy light of Lind is not weakened even if they believe in it directly.

Flora used the magic-breaking stone to check the raven, removed or destroyed the assassin's life-saving items and means, and then suppressed the raven with normal magic.

Originally, Lind wanted to use the Magic-Breaking Stone to impose restrictions directly, but the Magic-Breaking Stone was extremely expensive and rare. It was also difficult to use with other restrictions after use. It might even backfire and become a weapon for the prisoners to destroy other restrictions. So in the end, he used the Magic-Breaking Stone to conduct security checks and then suppressed it with normal means.

The final destination of the raven is the newly built court of justice in the royal capital, where the raven will be judged.

This is an organization established by Lind specifically to target high-level professionals who commit crimes, at least for now.
