Section 22
On the evening of the 21st, Pei Di, accompanied by his retainer Wren, dragged his tired body back to his private apartment in the inner city of the imperial capital.
This apartment was allotted to him by the Security Service and was one of the benefits of the sheriff.
He is very tired now, there are so many things that have happened in the past two days, which makes his mind a little messy, and the reason why he looks back at the Prime Minister's Mansion is to calm down and think.
More than 13 years have passed, but they are all peaceful and regular lives.
Whether it was the previous world or the current world, Pedi is used to this quiet life.
The smell of armor mixed with the smell of blood reminded Pedi... He killed.
Although his father from the age of ten to the age of ten, every time he exercised power in his hands, he would take him to watch!
Although he has long been accustomed to bloody scenes!
But it's not the same as taking out a person with your own hands.
That's a living life!
It is not a wooden target at the time of knight training.
"My lord, you should probably take off your armor and take a warm bath!"
Hu said as Wren made coffee.
The apartment was a small two-story building, and it was usually his subordinate Wren's residence, so even if Pedi came to live every few weeks, it wouldn't look dirty.
"Of course, the same as I thought!"
Pedi lowered his head and glanced at the bulky armor on his body.
......
Peeling off his armor, Pedi felt a moment of relaxation in himself, and then he couldn't wait to walk to the bathroom.
In the warm bathroom, the smell of blood that haunted Pedi was slowly dissipating, and everything seemed to be back to the beginning.
The killings and the annoying cases slowly moved away from him.
Before he knew it, Pedi was asleep.
...
"Brother!"
"Brother Pedi!"
I don't know how long it had been, but a familiar shout woke Pedi from his deep sleep.
Open your eyes, familiar ceiling.
Ceilings in your own apartment.
"Brother Pedi!"
It was Phyllis's voice.
Peddy subconsciously stood up, the sound of flowing water and a chill made him react, he was still in the tub.
"Brother Pedi!"
Phyllis continued to scream, with a hint of anxiety in her tone.
"Phyllis, I'm fine. ”
With a wry smile, Pedi quickly put on her underwear and a cotton off-white bathrobe and opened the door.
"How did you get here!" Pedi pinched Phyllis's little face.
Phyllis replied with a serious face, "I've been waiting for you in the living room for almost half an hour, do you usually take such a long shower?" ”
Pedi looked at Wren.
"Miss Phyllis heard that you were back in the imperial capital, so she ran over. Wren explained, "Your Excellency, you spent nearly an hour in the bathroom. ”
"Maybe I'm a little tired, I've been on the road for the past two days. Pedi smiled at her sister.
"Are you working on a case? Phyllis asked with a wink.
Pedi habitually rubbed Phyllis's hair, "Of course, it's a big case. ”
He said as he gestured to his sister.
"Really, didn't Cousin Andy say you just need to doze off in the office every day?" Phyllis had a teasing look on her face.
"Uh!" said Pedy, stunned, as he took his sister to the couch in the living room and asked, "What else did my dear cousin say?"
"He said that you take bribes from your subordinates every day, eat the best pastries in the imperial capital, drink coffee brought by the secretary, and read some boring books. Phyllis had long forgotten the oath she had made in front of Andy, and she leaned in on Pedi as she spoke.
Pedi shook his head with a wry smile, not to mention, every time Andy came to him, he looked like he had nothing to do, he had to change the subject, "What are you doing here so late?
"Cut! I don't have time to talk to her right now. Speaking of this topic, Phyllis's eyes suddenly lit up and she jumped up from the sofa, "I have completed the construction of the fireball spell circle, and my mentor said that I can already cast this spell independently. ”
As she spoke, she took out a gray-brown staff from her bosom, and as her right hand shook as she grabbed the staff's wrist, a faint white line in front of her body formed a complex circle.
Suddenly, Pedi felt a heat rip through the air burning on his cheeks.
"Pounce!"
A tiny flame appeared in front of Phyllis, and then pulsed irregularly.
"Ahh
Immediately after, the small flame instantly turned into the size of a fist, and then rushed straight to the nearby sofa.
A small fire is about to break out!
"Bang!"
Just as the fireball approached the couch, a teacup shimmered with a golden halo blocking it.
The reddish-brown tea splashed everywhere, the teacup fell intact on the couch, and the fist-sized fireball made a 'snort!' sound when it touched the teacup and then disappeared.
"Whew!" Phyllis muttered a breath of cold air from her small mouth, "It's really scared to death, it seems that I can't use magic indoors at will next time." ”
Pedi shook his head with a wry smile, and Wren walked over to wipe the wet cushion with a blank face.
"Brother Pedi, was it just a holy force? I can feel it, a powerful but comforting power!" Phyllis's eyes flashed, "Can I learn?"
Pedi smiled and said, "Anyone can learn the Holy Power, but are you sure you want to learn it? You should know that the training of a paladin is even more boring than that of a mage, and besides, there should be no time to train a paladin before you become a full-fledged mage." ”
When Phyllis heard this, she was immediately distressed, and after thinking for a moment, she said deflatedly: "It would be nice if I didn't have to sleep, so that I could go to the church to receive training from the paladin during the day, and take magic classes at night." ”
"Nice attention, you might be able to try!" Peddy laughed.
Phyllis was stunned for a moment, then grabbed the cotton-filled cushion next to her and threw it at Pedy.
"Brother Peidi, let me see the holy power just now!"
"That's not good, Holy Power is not for performance. ”
"It's not a show, it's a study. ”
"That's not going to work either!"
......
......
While the two brothers and sisters were frolicking, hundreds of miles away in the town of Tyre, Baron Lil, the mayor of the town, Rhodes, and the clerk, Aboli, were having a meeting in the town hall reception room.
The meeting was organized by Baron Lil.
"Let's talk about it, what happened yesterday, this time the security department is serious, I received the news that His Majesty the Emperor has indeed personally interrogated the case, and the security department is limited to half a month to solve the case. Baron Lil glanced coldly at Rhodes and Abbotley, "Those lunatics can do anything to solve crimes. ”
"We really don't know. Abaulet smiled bitterly, "Yesterday I was busy dealing with those damn villagers, where there was time to take care of the affairs of the security office, and if it wasn't for the support of the security office, would those villagers dare to storm the town government?"
"That's why I'm asking you what the hell is going on, that tax collector, and the dozens of corpses on the farm today. Baron Lill tapped lightly on the table as he spoke, "Don't tell me, you don't know. ”
