Arthur's desperate risk completely lost control of the situation.

The dark magic erupted, and Earl Milne and the man in black died one after another under Arthur's knife. Of course, killing the old housekeeper was just a good thing.

The black mist had spread throughout the corridor. The guards rushed up to face the rolling black mist.

Naturally, Arthur could not kill all these guards, and such a large-scale trace of dark magic use would soon attract the Church of Light.

With the cover of black fog, Arthur set fire in the castle again. The smoke of flames mixed with black fog, causing the Earl's Mansion to completely fall into chaos.

When the guards and the servants completely put out the fire in the castle, they found that not only the earl and the housekeeper died tragically, but the warehouse was stolen. The savings and various treasures of the Earl Milne's family over the years were looted.

As for the extra body of the man in black in the Earl's room, it became another mystery.

Before the people of the Earl Milne's family could figure it out from all the chaos, a team of punishment knights from the Church of Light blocked the entire Earl's Mansion and brought everyone back to the referee for inquiries.

At this time, Arthur was walking out of the room yawning and shouting to ask the chef of the town office to prepare breakfast.

Whether it was the Church of Light or the Tingwei Office in Guru's city, the evidence of Arthur's absence must be sufficient in advance.

After breakfast, Arthur summoned Larkin, Jose and the town's current officials together.

First, it was officially announced that Larkin would continue to be the mayor of Nuel Town and his salary doubled. Larkin was moved and burst into tears, expressing his sincerity from the heart.

Then it was announced that the Viscount Guards would be formed, with Jose as the captain. The former town security team members who met the conditions were absorbed into the guards. Some elderly, weak, sick and disabled, and those with poor qualifications were directly dismissed.

After Arthur announced the personnel appointment, he left Larkin and Jose alone and assigned tasks to the two of them separately.

Mayor Lajin was asked to stop the mining of iron ore in Longjiling and begin to prepare for the construction of the Viscount Mansion under Longjiling. Arthur's requirement for the Viscount Mansion was to compare with the Marquis' Mansion in terms of scale, and the protection strength was better than the war fortresses on the border. In terms of building materials, the same as the walls of the royal city of Singalore should be used, and the exterior of the building must also be painted with a magic-resistant mitril silver coating.

Larkin opened his mouth before he could hear Arthur's request. Not to mention the taxes in Nuel Town, even the Earl's taxes added up to several years.

"You don't need to worry about money." Arthur said, taking out the three thousand gold coins that the old housekeeper Milne had compensated yesterday, and then poured a small pile of gold coins into the ground from his bracelet. "These five thousand gold coins are just startup funds. In the next few years, there is no need to pay taxes in the town. Except for the necessary expenses, all the remaining money will be spent in the construction of the Viscount Mansion."

Although Lajin didn't know why his lord had to spend such a huge amount of money to build such a mansion, the lord even prepared the money and naturally he would do his best to do the next thing.

After assigning the mission to Larkin, Jose was asked to form a recruiting guard team with twenty retired soldiers under his command. The guard team should be expanded to a scale of 200 people, and the guard combat level should not be lower than level 2, and should be trained completely in accordance with the military training method.

Arthur also left a large amount of gold coins for Jose, in addition to this, there are a large number of third-level weapons and equipment, medium and low-level martial arts and fighting skills.

After explaining these to Larkin and Jose separately, Arthur did not say hello to the others and quietly left Nuel Town that day.

After several assassinations in succession, Arthur is now much more cautious. If such a big deal happened in the Earl Milne's house, Arthur was worried that the mysterious organization or the Church of Light might find him soon.

Arthur had a clear understanding of his strength. In the face of those two giants, he did not have the ability to survive independently. He could only return to the Blood Flame Academy as soon as possible. Under the protection of the Great Magician of Harlix and His Majesty Strech's Majesty, he was temporarily safe.

As for the guards led by Viscount's Mansion and Jose, it was a backup plan left by Arthur for himself in advance and will play a role sooner or later in the future.

......

Royal City, Church of Light.

Since the war between the two tribes, the Church of Light has become much more low-key in the Kingdom of Isaac. The Knights of Light are still under reconstruction, and Archbishop Sosses rarely appears. Even the Punishment Knights who usually sway around outside have no major tasks.

During that battle, the Knights of Light lost more than half of the battle, the Great Light Seal broke, and the dark magic elements surged out crazily, but it was not the church that finally resolved the crisis, which inevitably led many people who were ignorant of the inside story to have many speculations about the Church of Light.

If someone really thinks that the Church of Light has been silent, it would be a big mistake.

In the Inquisition, Bishop Fast looked at the list on the table with a gloomy face.

In contrast to Archbishop Soses, who always has a smile on his face, Bishop Fast always has a face. As the bishop in charge of the Inquisition, Fast is known as the most terrifying person in the church. As long as the pen in his hand is gently hooked, no one on the list on the table will survive.

A white-robed priest with three burning flame patterns embroidered with cuffs quickly walked into Fast's study, "The Gurur Parish urgently reported that an attack on the dark magician occurred in the parish. An earl, his housekeeper, and an unidentified person died from the attack on the dark magician."

Fast turned his eyes away from the list, "It's the Dark Magician again. They have been doing things a little frequently recently. Have you found any clues?"

"Not yet, but they found out that the slained count had a conflict with Arthur Hillow, Viscount Gayong, who had been canonized by the kingdom the day before his death."

"Arthur, it's that Arthur again." Fast murmured in a low voice.

The white-robed priest continued Fast's words and said: "We have also noticed that from Sunrise Ridge to Guruer City, including the last time the Sighing Canyon, Arthur was also in the Frost Thunder Legion. It seems that every incident related to the Dark Magician happened, he was nearby. What's more suspicious is that the Reverend Alia, who we put beside him, was mysteriously missing."

Fast nodded with satisfaction, "You are right in your analysis. Although there is no direct evidence to point to Arthur, all the coincidences are put together. It is obvious that the dark magician is next to Arthur or he is a dark magician."

"Then I'll arrange for the punishment knight to take action now?"

Fast sighed rarely, "If an ordinary person pointed at our court, he could arrest people, but this Arthur is a student of the Blood Yao Academy and a newly enthroned viscount of the Kingdom. We have found out that the recommender of his entry into the Blood Yao Academy was Keno Patrick, deputy commander of the Wind and Snow Legion, so if you don't have any evidence, it is likely that Arthur will arouse a strong backlash from Streach and the Kingdom military."

"What should I do next? Please give me a advice." The white-robed pastor bowed and asked for advice.

A cold light flashed in Fast's eyes, "Put him on the 'magic hunting list'. From now on, you will be responsible for sending someone to stare at him. Secret trapping can be carried out while ensuring absolutely controllable."
