Chapter 131 The culprit
"Stop there, line up!"
Seeing Kain not obeying the order, a soldier shouted.
The eyes of both the Adventurers and the soldiers were on Kain, but he paid them no attention.
The soldier who had just shouted that clicked his tongue in annoyance. He placed one hand on the sword at his waist, intending to step forward to block Kain's path, but was stopped by his comrade beside him.
"Are you crazy?"
"What are you talking about? Didn't we receive orders to intercept and check everyone leaving the Dungeon?"
"I know, but look at his clothes you idiot! You're going to get us killed!"
Hearing his comrade say so, the other soldier focused on what Kain was wearing. And as expected, he was shocked.
Kanzax Academy's uniform is very prominent, so its recognition is extremely high. So just with a little knowledge, especially soldiers under the nobility, just need to pay attention to be able to see.

This discovery made the soldier break out in a cold sweat.
Even though they had noble masters, and their missions were also assigned by nobles, when this kind of dispute broke out, they would definitely be used as scapegoats.
To test Kain, their master had to speak himself.
So, amidst the silence of the soldiers, Kain calmly walked through the surveillance station and headed outside.
Outside, there were nearly a hundred soldiers with full weapons standing surrounding this area. They lined up and formed an arc, hugging all the open spaces from the entrance of the Dungeon onwardsVFA
Standing in the middle of the formation was none other than Dieter.
Seeing Dieter, Kain smiled and said.
"Oh, your army is really impressive, but... this doesn't seem right, does it?"
Kain's words carried no weight at all. In front of such an army and such a noble status, even the leaders of Kadata town would have to obediently listen, let alone any rules. But because the words came from Kain, no one dared to object.
Dieter tried to search through his memories for people he knew, but there was no one that fit. However, Kain's heterochromatic hair, along with the uniform he was wearing, was enough to make Dieter worry.
But then, he also had doubts.
Before that, through checking many sources of information, Dieter knew that the murderer who murdered his twin uncles was a Magus of a fairly high rank among the low-class Magus. This was worth skepticism, because such a wandering Magus was very rare.
With the information clear, they used the tactic of blocking the door. As long as Magus was alive, he would definitely come out. If he didn't come out, he would definitely be dead.
But right before that, this mysterious Magus did something very strange, which was to kill a lot of monsters and freely give away the spoils to others. Making it extremely difficult to control the flow of people entering and leaving the Dungeon.
At the same time, Dieter and his army's attempt to control everything caused the gratitude others had for the Magus to flow back into dissatisfaction. On top of that, Horon and Horan's reputations were so rotten that no one could stand them, so Dieter was under a lot of pressure.
This brilliant move made Dieter judge that this Magus was not an idiot. So why did he deliberately kill the other two in such a public manner?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
But if, just if, that Magus was the student of Kanzax Academy before his eyes, then everything could be explained.
He may not be a noble, but he is definitely a student of Kanzax Academy. That alone is enough to make him fearless. And his strength is strong enough, his money is abundant enough, which can explain why he freely left behind all the spoils of war.
All the clues seemed to connect into an arrow pointing straight to Kain.
And Dieter only figured this out in a moment.
It can be said that the true heirs of the nobility are not fools.
Many things seem incomprehensible, but they can still see through them.
But the one thing Dieter couldn't have expected was that Kain saw through Horon and Horan true identities, but still chose to kill them.
Because they are just two useless people, so what if they are nobles?
They were banished and exiled here, proving that the relationships within that noble family were not close, one could even say tense.
When they used their noble identities to threaten Kain and were rebuffed by him, the panic in both of their eyes gave them away.
It proves that even subconsciously, they are not sure if they are really a member of a noble family or not.
Thus, Kain could roughly deduce the situation as follows.
Horon and Horan were expelled from the center of power after losing the succession war. They were exiled here, while the "victorious" would secretly send a spy to monitor and report the situation regularly. It was highly likely that this spy had joined the Adventurer group under Horon and Horan to facilitate surveillance.
However, Horon and Horan did not know this, only thinking that they themselves had been abandoned.
And because Kain had destroyed the entire gang, there were no more spies to transmit information, so this case was exposed.
In short, the "victorious" raised Horon and Horan like cattle. As for the purpose? There are many possible applications.
So the question is, do the twins matter?
Of course not.
There must be quite a few "livestock" raised like this, otherwise the protection given to them wouldn't be so superficial.
As for these soldiers and the leader who came here to investigate, it was purely because of "noble honor".
Even if it is a noble's livestock, only the noble is allowed to decide its fate.
But what if the person doing this is someone of equal status?
Kain was curious to see what Dieter would decide.
If these people relied on their noble status and started doing stupid things, Kain could definitely retaliate.
He even listed the possibility that Dieter had guessed that he was the culprit, but without convincing evidence, who would dare to attack him. Even if they had evidence, would they really have the courage to draw their swords?
