Decisive actions were taken, and those who needed to withdraw did so. After all, the Orc and Elf armies were soon to launch an attack on the southern human forces, so he had plenty of time to make new arrangements. I will eventually take control of Nuta City.
"Very well..." said Grand Priest Lancelot, who judged the situation strategically, "Since the Lord of the city strongly recommends Knight Yan Xing for the investigation of the assassination of Priest Temple, I, on behalf of the Temple, entrust this case to Knight Yan Xing. May I ask, Knight Yan Xing, how many days do you need to catch the assassin?"
Yan Xing replied, "How can one set a deadline for solving a case? It depends on when the assassin slips up. Anyway, I’ve already gathered plenty of clues, and I’ll catch him soon. Of course, if anyone thinks they can solve the case faster than I can, they are welcome to take over at any time."
Grand Priest Lancelot still wanted to pressure Yan Xing further.
At this point, Count Theodore settled the matter for the meeting. "I think that settles it! Since Knight Yan Xing is so eager to help us with the investigation, and the Grand Priest has no better candidate, why not let Knight Yan Xing give it a try. I hope everyone will actively cooperate with Knight Yan Xing while he is investigating Priest Temple’s assassination case. If there’s nothing else, Knight Yan Xing and I will take our leave now. We still have much to discuss, and Knight Yan Xing has brought me many specialties from the Thunderous Swamp. Now, everyone may disperse! Let Grand Priest Lancelot arrange Priest Temple’s funeral promptly, so his soul may return to heaven as soon as possible."
Having finished speaking, the old Earl stood up.
Lady Karol stood and curtsied to him.
The other two nobles also stood up and paid their respects.
Yan Xing said solemnly, "Leave the case to me! I will catch the assassin as quickly as possible and chop him into mincemeat for my warriors."
Olaf roared, "Knight Yan Xing, you must follow through!"
