In the closed carriage, there was a five-man team of five people sitting at the Hand of Justice.

"I understand! The news that Lord Bantry gave us is very accurate. This new baron is the young mage we met in the hotel in the Sheung Jin Town before!"

In the quiet carriage, Reverend Wayne said to his companions.

"Is it him?"

The older samurai spoke in surprise.

"It seems that Wayne, your plan to recruit that young mage before might come in handy!"

The young warrior beside him snorted coldly after hearing this and muttered in a low voice: "Hypocritical noble!"

The older warrior immediately frowned and scolded, "Doch, I know you hate nobles, but don't bring personal emotions to the mission. If you can't complete the mission personally, you can only go to guard the Dungeon of the Prison and be with those heretics every day!"

When the young warrior named Dodge heard this, he thought of that kind of life, year after year, guarding the heretics day and night in the dark and filthy dungeon, and he couldn't help but feel cold. Although he was still angry for a day, he did not dare to speak presumptuously anymore.

Seeing the young samurai being honest, the older samurai nodded with satisfaction.

At this time another older warrior said:

"We should complete the task as soon as possible and go back! I don't want to stay in such a place for a long time. When I go out, I cover up like a mouse crossing the street. I feel like someone is monitoring me wherever I go. It's better to leave the matter of developing church power to the missionaries of the Ministry of Faith and Administration!"

The warrior just complained casually, but as soon as this was said, the priests and others changed their faces.

"Braun, I have vaguely felt what Carl said, but neither mental sensing nor divine detection can find any signs of us being monitored!"

The older samurai said in a serious tone:

"You guys feel this way too? Then it proves that my feeling should be out of place. We should be indeed being monitored.

In this situation, either the other party is a strong man above gold, or someone is monitoring us through other means at a distance! No matter what the situation is, it may not be easy to deal with!"

After saying that, the five people present had a hint of worry in their hearts except for the Knight who had been silent.

"Hongfeng Town is over, and you're about to reach your destination. You don't need to think about those unnecessary situations. Since the other party wants to monitor, let them monitor. Our purpose is to capture heresy and there will be no conflict with them. Be careful to act!"

The low voice of the Knight sounded, and Wayne, the most thoughtful priest among the crowd, also figured it out at this time.//

"Samuel said it well! The task is important. Instead of making random guesses here, it is better to complete the task as soon as possible. All problems can be solved by then!"

Just before the carriage of the Hand of Justice was about to reach the Dark Night Manor, a guest landed in confusion before the manor villa. Donald, who heard the servant report, came out and said in surprise:

"Master Chris?"

Donald was a little surprised that this strange mage suddenly came to the manor early in the morning, but this person's mind was unreasonable, so Donald was just a little strange.

The middle-aged mage didn't explain anything, but said impatiently: "You will have a guest coming soon. I'll be in the villa. Don't disturb me if you have nothing to do!"

After saying that, he found a guest room behind the villa and walked in.

Donald was not dissatisfied with Chris' tone. He knew that the mage should not be aimless. Obviously something happened, so he immediately sent several owls to explore.

After the past few days after the King of Kings returned, everything started to be on track. Originally, there was only one manor, but now it has obtained a large area. The natural barrier of the Tree of Life obviously cannot cover such a vast area, so he distributed several ancient guards throughout the territory, and then permanently summoned five owls to put them in the manor, fed by servants, and patrolled his territory twice a day to avoid any dangerous incidents. In addition to being unable to fight and flying from a long distance, compared with the huge gargoyles, the owl with hidden talent is more suitable for reconnaissance in the territory, and the cost of creating is also very low.

Soon, an owl who was exploring in the direction of Red Maple Town passed back to the situation from the perspective of Luffy, and indeed found a strange carriage heading towards the manor. "Who is it? It is definitely not an ordinary person to be able to make Chris, the peak bronze wizard, pay so much attention to it and come to take charge in person!"

Unfortunately, the owl's perspective cannot penetrate the carriage and cannot see the situation inside.

Donald couldn't guess the identity of the visitor, and then shook his head and said, "What am I thinking about here? No matter who he is, when he arrives at the manor, he will know whether he is an enemy or a friend at first sight!"

After saying that, he ordered the butler and William to order the servants and farmers to stay in the house for the time being and not come out. Then he arranged the guards himself, took Uther, and behind him with Clinton, Eric and other servants, and waited in front of the manor gate together.

After a meal, the simple carriage arrived at the door of the manor.

When Donald saw the five people getting out of the car, all of them were professionals with great strength. He frowned and a hint of worry arose in his heart. But he immediately smiled and greeted the person.

"Several guests came from afar, welcome to Dark Night Manor!"

The five Hands of Justice were a little surprised that the owner of the manor was able to learn about the arrival of him and others in advance.

But then I thought about it and found that the other party must have received the news from the Mage Association, otherwise a black iron mage, a small local noble, would definitely not have the ability to predict their arrival in advance.

The master was already greeted with enthusiasm, and he did not come with hostility. The five people led by the priest immediately spoke a few polite words and followed the master into the manor.

In the lobby of the manor villa, Wayne expressed his intention straight to the point.

"The five of us were mercenary squads of Zoro who came to hunt down the fugitive. This time, the magician Goman, who committed multiple major cases, came here. I heard that the Baron had met a magician before, so he took the liberty to disturb him!"

Originally, Wayne planned to proceed step by step and explore the bottom line of the target first to see if he could win it over. For such a young and talented mage, if he could win over it, the church would easily reach out to the unexplored virgin land of the Northland. He could also achieve great achievements and restore his former glory.

Therefore, Wayne did not give up after leaving Shining Gold Town, but now he felt the aura that was hidden in the manor. Although he was a little disappointed, he still decisively gave up this idea.

Of course, Donald could hear that the other dialect was not true, and mercenary squads were just covering up Qibu's identity.

The temperaments of these people are not like adventurers, but rather they have received systematic training, which is somewhat different from those of military soldiers. It is more in line with the situation of the mercenary mentioned by the priest.

However, a priest, three warriors and one knight. Such a combination is really strange among mercenaries. Almost no knight will choose to be an adventurer or a mercenary. Because unlike ordinary warriors, knights are a noble profession. In addition to their own combat effectiveness, knights are also a symbol of aristocratic status. Even a knight without a territory and a manor, the way to obtain wealth and live a wealthy life is much easier than that of a civilian. Joining the army or joining other noble lords is a good choice. Why bother to demean yourself and mingle with those adventurers and mercenaries?

The combination of these five people reminds Donald of a very famous organization in the eastern part of the mainland, the priest of the God of Dawn, the paladin of the God of Justice and Warriors, and the judge knight of the God of War. Isn’t this a joint institution under the Church of the Glorious Three Gods responsible for hunting down heretics and evil creatures, and the infamous hand of justice in the circle of mages?

To Donald's surprise, he didn't expect that the magician who fought with him twice was a fugitive who was wanted by the Church of the Three Gods and the Allies of Zoro.

"What big thing does that guy have to do to get organizations like the Hand of Justice to keep track of them from the southernmost end of the continent to the northernmost part of the human territory?"

"And these religious madmen didn't know where to get the news. They knew that the magician had fought with him, so they came to the door by following the map. The mage association should have known this situation, so they asked Master Chris to come and take charge!"

Based on Donald's previous life experience, he quickly figured out these situations, and basically speculated that they were inseparable from ten.

Although Donald was repulsive to these members of the Hand of Justice similar to the Inquisition, he still maintained the polite demeanor that a noble and a mage should have on the surface.

I simply processed my experience, told these people, and specifically pointed out that the magician was also instructed to assassinate him.

"As for the whereabouts of the magician, I'm sorry I can't provide much help to you. When the magician was injured and fled, I was unable to chase him. Then I had to rush to the northwest battlefield immediately. After I came back, the guy disappeared without a trace. I only knew that the other party might have left the North County and fled to the south of the kingdom to hide, and then there was no trace to be found! After all, the North County is far away from the south, the situation in the six southern towns is relatively chaotic, and the terrain is complex and changeable. It is very easy to hide a person!"

Pastor Wayne sighed after hearing this: "What a pity. I originally hoped that Baron, you could give us some clues, but now I am disappointed. It seems that we can't get that big bounty!"

"You don't have to be discouraged. Although the south of the kingdom is vast and the situation is chaotic, if you can find locals who are familiar with the situation, you will still have the opportunity to discover the traces of the magician!"

"Then I'll ask Lord Baron's Jiyan. I hope everything will go smoothly. I'll catch that evil magician and leave us with little time. It's time for us to say goodbye!"

Listening to the pastor's neat words, Donald pretended to keep a few words, and then sent five people away from the manor. He was so eager for these guys to leave quickly!

After returning to the villa, I found that the Chris had walked out of the room and was drinking sips with the black tea delivered by the maid. "Do you know the identities of these guys?"

When Chris asked, Donald immediately confirmed his previous guess.

So he replied coldly:

"No matter how obvious the opponent's hidden the leg of the hand of justice is, as a mage, you should be able to see it!"

In the Kingdom of Dawn, wizards who are not registered in the church will be classified as heresy. There have been large-scale wizard destruction incidents many years ago. I don’t know how many judges of the Three Gods Church knocked on the door of the wizards, arrested them, tied them to wooden stakes and stolen them.

Those judges are the predecessors of the Hand of Justice, which is the biggest reason why mages and other spellcasters are so hostile to the Church of the Glorious Three Gods and their organizations.

Hearing Donald's answer, Chris showed a stiff smile and nodded with satisfaction.

"It's good that you know. The purpose of these guys is real, but the purpose is probably a bit impure. I think they are very interested in you. If I hadn't been behind, I would probably have recruited you just now!"

"The Hand of Justice will also recruit mages?"

Donald said in confusion with a little bit of a turning head.

"Haha! Naturally, there will be weak guys and scum who violate the truth of the arcane. The Church of the Three Gods of the Glorious Gods has recruited many mages with insufficient will over the years. Every child in the area they control who is found to have the talent of a mage will be firmly controlled in the hands of the church. If they do not enter the church school to study, they will be indoctrinated by those believers who violate the path of a mage, and will be subject to the supervision of the church throughout their lives. Once they attempt to escape to another place, they will be regarded as heresy and rebellion and executed together with their families."

Donald sighed in disbelief after hearing this:

"So, in places like Sendel, it is not only not a good thing to be found in a mage talent, but it is a huge disaster!"

Sure enough, there is no pure paradise in any world. There are struggles in places where there are people, and even the true gods above the starry sky cannot be avoided!
