In the evening, Petit returned to his private apartment with his tired body.

The apartment was lit with fire, and apparently, Wren had returned early.

"Your Excellency!"

Just as he was thinking, Wren appeared in front of Pedy's eyes.

"What about Cowlier?"

"Inside. ”

Pedi nodded and took two quick steps.

On the sofa in the hall of the apartment, a man over half a hundred years old was dressed in a well-made silk robe, his brown and white hair was tightly tied behind his head, his thin face was cleanly trimmed, and a pair of small eyes smiled at Pedi when he came in.

"Sir Pety, I'm glad you took me in. Collier stood up and saluted, "Life in the Warrior's House has almost broken me lately, and if it were a little while, I think I'd kill myself even if you hadn't found me." ”

"Then enjoy your time, sir. Pedi was expressionless, "When you're safe, you'll face charges from the guards." ”

Collier smiled nonchalantly, "I didn't break the laws of the Empire, Sir. ”

Pedi sat down on the couch across from the mage, "Then why are you hiding?"

"Somebody is going to kill me, it's a bunch of crazy people. ”

"Tell me about the madmen, I'm interested in them. Pei Di took the black tea handed over by Wren and asked very casually.

"Anyway, I don't know much about those madmen, only that they are the people of the 'Tower of Dawn', a group of madmen who dream of overthrowing the rule of the aristocracy and establishing an equal and free country..."

"Oh? Pei Di was stunned, isn't this the so-called revolutionaries in the previous life?

"It's not just a dream, they're starting to make it happen. Collier's eyes flickered, "I was previously hired by them to be a mercenary mage for their caravanserais, and was later invited to train their battle mages. ”

Pei Di was stunned, although training combat mages is expressly prohibited by imperial law, and those with mage qualifications must register with the imperial authorities, many organizations and chambers of commerce have ways to avoid inquiries from imperial officials.

Cowlier continued, "About two years ago, an apprentice magician who was trying to escape told me about some of their organization's plans, and what was going on with their organization..."

"What kind of plan?" asked Pedi subconsciously.

Collier smiled slightly, "Let's talk about some of the things that happened in their organization first...... Five years ago, there was an infighting at the top of the Tower of Dawn, when the older generation of leaders was ousted by a new group of successors... And these new successors pursued a plan, one that claimed to overthrow the rule of the imperial aristocracy. ”

"As for the specifics of the plan, I don't know. Collier shook his head, and then, jokingly, said, "Maybe... It's not bad that they can succeed, and the current human empire gives me a feeling of depression, a feeling of not vomiting and unhappy. ”

Pedi was silent, he knew what the oppressive feeling Cowlier was talking about, the thick Imperial Constitution, the Imperial Laws that were often read in ordinary people's mouths. The law, which was supposed to uphold all classes, has long since gone sour after centuries of change.

It became an excuse for the imperial nobility to rule over the commoners ...

Become a shackle to the common people.

However, Pedi's camp had already confirmed at birth that if conflict did break out, he would have to stand by his father and brother's side.

At this point, the two were silent for a few minutes.

"There are some things we can't change, so don't bother with them. Pedi finally said, "Let's talk about the case." ”

"What case?" Cowlier was clearly thinking about things too.

"The case of Baron Gordon Ayre, and now, there is half a squadron of guards who died in the line of duty for this case. Pedi exhaled, "Let's end this sooner rather than later, and let my life go back to the way it was." ”

"Dozing off every day?" said Collier with a sneer, "that's what it's said in the tavern." ”

Pedi laughed, "yes, what's wrong?

"Let's talk about the case. Pedi asked again, "The murder weapon for Baron Gordon Eyre was bought from you, right?"

"Yes. Collier nodded, "I also found out later...... The day after the Gordon El case, someone tried to kill me, but fortunately I was prepared, and the teleportation circle set up in advance saved my life, and in the process of escaping, I heard that the black market was rumored that the guard department was looking for a dagger engraved with elemental poison array, and I immediately guessed that it was my dagger that caused the trouble. ”

"The person who bought your dagger is the Man from the Tower of Dawn?" asked Pedi again.

"Yes, I often work with them, and they organize a lot of magic items to be made by me, after all, the things made by Mage Drake Tower are generally very popular, and some of them don't dare to get them from formal channels, so working with me has become their first choice. Cowlier smug on his face.

"Tell me about the man who bought your dagger. ”

"His name is Ma Rui, I know him, he has been here many times, a low-level staff officer of the military department. Cowlier replied quickly, "I guess the person who did it directly should be this staff officer named Marry." ”

"That's not good news!" Pedi frowned, "This man named Marry can take all the charges on his shoulders. ”

"That's the most suspicious thing about this case. Cowlier shrugged, "Since they have been prepared for a long time, they have done a lot of superfluous things!"

Pei Di was stunned when he heard this, and then he was shocked.

He began to think back to what had happened today, the capture of Collier, Hanko's betrayal, the assassination of Ser Gus El, and the gang leader of Arnold.

Further back, the attack on the graveyard of the Ancestors, the case in Tyre, and the dagger that suddenly appeared.

Cowlier was right, they didn't need to do so much at all, they didn't even need to kill Cowlier. Because they need the guard to find Cowlier and wait for him to confess the officer named Marry.

Then, this case can be closed, and no one will be involved!

What exactly do these people want to do?

Pedi suddenly looked at Collier in front of him, his eyes flashing with coldness, "As far as I know, your stand-in is still unharmed, and it seems that you are not as important as you think." ”

"What? Are you doubting me?" Cowlier was smart.

"Perhaps, the cellar of this apartment is more suitable for you!" said Pedi, who stood up suddenly.

Collier's face changed, and then he reverted to his original state, "If this reassures you, I'd be glad to do it, after all, the cellar here is much stronger than the slum." ”
