“......”

Delkora shook the forbidden handcuffs on her wrists and let out a long sigh.

"What do you say, what are you sighing about?, now that you know that you regret it?" the guards in the interrogation room looked at him with disdain, "Young and strong, why not do you want to be a thief?"

"I'm not a thief...... Delcora is about to cry, "I didn't steal!"

"Don't you be a thief, hide in the corner of the wall at night, and put illusions to obstruct our inspection?

"Won't I just run away if you chase me?"

"If you don't run, do I still have to chase?"

"You...... Forget it," Delcora waved weakly as she leaned on the interrogation table, "do you really want to know? ”

"If you say it first, we will naturally judge whether to believe it or not. The guard reprimanded him very seriously, "Don't be slippery!"

"Okay, okay, even if I tell the truth, you won't believe it. Del Cora muttered, cleared her throat, and said, "I couldn't sleep last night, and then I went out shopping......

He told him what he experienced last night and today, but he hid the existence of Richard Bryant, and he didn't say in detail about the process of discovering the monster, only that when he was shopping, he found a mysterious person from the mayor's house, and then he was chased and almost killed, so he came to check the situation tonight-

He was only halfway through his sentence when the interrogating guard stopped writing, and when he had finished, the guard reached out and turned off the recording hedron and looked at him with disdain.

"Did the bard teach you how to lie? The bard tells more logic than you do—do you even know what the hell you just said?"

"I knew you didn't believe me," Del Cola said, looking untouched, "then go ahead and ask the two of them, they won't tell any better story than I do—I'm the one who experienced it, after all." ”

"Stay here until your accomplice's interrogation is over. The guards hated iron and steel, "Are all the children like this now? You can lie without changing your face, how do your parents and teachers educate you?"

"Hehe......"

Del Cora can only hehe.

————————

Outside the interrogation room.

"What is this," Thorde couldn't help frowning as he looked at the three confessions in his hand, "Have you recorded it carefully?"

"To be honest, not very seriously," one of the interrogators smiled wryly, "and I can't remember halfway through what he says." These are the ones I added based on the records of the hedrons. ”

"I think the boy is talking nonsense," said the other interrogator, "but the three confessions are exactly the same...... Did they collude?"

"Sure, they've been in the room for so long, it's not easy to make up a story. Thorde pursed his lips and couldn't help but glance at it again, "What the hell is this?

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

"I can't beat the two golden tiers...... Hey, if this kind of problem in our town had this kind of problem, would we still be able to survive until now?" Thorde sneered, "Forget it, lock them up first, the crime is—"

He was stunned for a moment.

The interrogators were stunned for a moment.

"Crime...... What is it?" asked one of the interrogators tentatively.

“...... What the hell are they doing?" asked Thorde.

“...... It seems that they really didn't do anything," a few interrogators, you look at me, I look at you, and finally they can only shake their heads together, "At most, they release magic on the street?" But they all use auxiliary magic that is not dangerous, and our people have not been attacked from the beginning to the end, if they end up breaking into people's houses...... But we checked, and the owner of the house was not at home, and it didn't seem to have lost anything in the house. And if the owner of the house doesn't report it, we don't have the right to deal with it - they say they know the owner of the house, and we can't verify it. ”

"Huh?" Thold, completely stunned, "So what the hell are they running?"

“...... Because we're chasing?" replied one of the interrogators in a low voice.

"Fuck off, could this be our fault?" Tolde patted him on the head, "They ran and that's why we're chasing!"

"Can we run if we don't chase them?"

"Go play, don't get involved. Thorde waved his hand, "But these boys do have bad intentions, even if they don't do anything today, they can't be guaranteed in the future, and they are still hiding near the mayor's house today, and their confessions have been ripped off the mayor, God knows if they have any bad thoughts about the mayor? ”

"And how do we sentence?" asked one of the interrogators, "can't be sentenced to imprisonment?"

"You can't be imprisoned, but you can't keep them here. Thorde thought for a moment, "Forget it, lock them up for the night, then expel them from the town, don't let them in again, release non-dangerous magic in the streets, and fine them five silver coins." So be it. ”

"Okay. "Yes. Everyone agreed.

Early the next morning.

The three of them, who had not slept all night, were taken out of town by the guards.

"Listen, you're being listed persona non grata in the town now," one of the guards warned as he unhandcuffed them, "and if you are caught sneaking into the town again, we'll stop warning you and arrest them!"

"To be honest, you also look at our confessions, I said it is true, you don't believe it......" Del Cora didn't know how many times he repeated this sentence, until he was tired of repeating it, "You have to pay attention to the information I got in exchange for my life......"

The guards didn't bother to talk to him, unhandcuffed them, warned them again, and then returned to their jobs - by this time the three-person team was already outside the town, ostracized by the whole town.

"Damn, we didn't do anything," Delcora scratched her head and grabbed her hair hard, "that thing is definitely reviving, his rhythm has increased, and if you don't let it go, something will go wrong...... Damn it, Richard, Richard Bryant, what the hell are you doing......"

"We can't just give up," Assas looked at the town from afar, "We've all completed the epic task of unlocking a Holy Order, and we can't give up hope just because of this little thing." ”

"Yes, they won't let us in, so we'll help them in some other way. Satya clenched the dagger at her waist, "It's daylight, it doesn't look like it will show up during the day, and we'll have a whole day to plan - before that thing gets stronger." ”

"But our strength is not enough now......" Del Cora looked annoyed, "The strength of the three of us is not enough for that guy to eat, even if we find something, what can we do?"

"What if you count me. ”

A rough, but somewhat familiar voice sounded from behind. Del Cora glanced back in confusion—and then ducked behind Assas with a jump.

"Don't come here! It was a misunderstanding that night! I didn't mean to lure that thing to your camp!"

Joking, of course, is deliberately leading, but can you tell the truth at this time?

"Don't get excited, magician, I'm not here to get you back. The tall orc in the scholar's robe looked at him helplessly, "I'm here for that monster—it seems, you know more than I do." ”

The person who came was Riolante, after the accident the night before, it was naturally impossible to be defenseless last night, he had been scanning the town with mental power. There is no doubt that he also "heard" those two rhythms, and made the same judgment as Del Corra: the other party is getting stronger. But just as he was about to go to the field to investigate, he found Del Cola and his party hidden, and immediately witnessed what happened afterward. Relieved that the monster hadn't shown up last night, Riolante, who had roughly guessed what punishment the three would suffer, came out of town early in the morning.

Then, as expected, the expelled trio was encountered.

"I don't want to pursue the previous incident, after all, my students were not injured, and Kieran and I found out about the problem here. "But I think it's necessary for us to exchange information about this monster—what do you know about that thing?"

"To tell you the truth, I don't know at all," Del Cola immediately stopped hiding when he heard Riolant say that he would not be arrested, "and in fact I found out that he was all an accident—because Mr. Richard Bryant was here, and he gave me a hint that I could find it." ”

"Where is the Abyss Card?" Leolante was surprised, but a little relieved as expected, "Is he investigating that thing too?"

"I think he knows more than I do, but I don't know why, I haven't seen him since yesterday. Delcora shrugged, "Oh yes, you should have noticed, the first place that thing appeared was at the mayor's house. I was chased by him, also because he found out while exploring the mayor's house. ”

"Are you saying Mayor Mare is the monster?" said Riolant frowned.

"Actually, no, we had already tried it yesterday, the mayor, the mayor's butler, and even the mayor's big dog, Todge—they had no problem, they couldn't be more ordinary, so ordinary that I couldn't believe that terrible thing came out of the mayor's house. ”

"I analyzed the fragments of that thing after that day's battle," Riolant also said of his discovery, "the material was very special, almost transparent, very much like a part of the body of a soul undead, but it was corporeal, and there was no trace of death energy at all. It's not dense, but it's highly resistant to magic, and can self-coalesce after tearing - but fire magic slows it down, and fire magic does significantly more damage to that thing than the other elements. ”

"That means it's a living thing, not something weirder," Del Colamo rubbed his chin, "Fire magic works on it? ”

"But that's only relative - even the strongest totem in my hand can only hurt him. This thing recovers so quickly that I don't even know what he relied on to recover. "Riolant wasn't too optimistic.

"Aren't you shamans blindly pursuing a wide range of outputs?

A sarcastic voice popped up. Riolant couldn't help but be stunned, but the three-person team was surprised.

"Mr. Richard, you're finally back!"
