Chapter 69: Questioning
After the Blue Serpent was destroyed, Leo and another uncle surrounded Ais. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Slightly unpleasant, from their conversation, it seems that the uncle named Luke has always suspected that Ais is in collusion with the monsters that have invaded the city.
I knew that I would have left the green snake alive, and now, the uncle is ready to pester Ais to interrogate him, Aiis is at a loss, and I don't know what to do.
Fortunately, Leo was on Ais's side.
After all, Leo is Ais's boss and the chief deacon of the castle lord's family, but I guess Leo is worried that there will not be enough people in the mansion to go back in a hurry.
Anyway, under Leo's persuasion, Ais was temporarily released by the uncle, but I heard that the uncle would report the matter to the city lord and then conduct further interrogations.
I curled up in Ais's pocket and listened quietly.
Until Leo brought Ais back to the castle lord's mansion, I didn't dare to show my head.
"So, what about the ingredients that you said you bought?" Leo remembered as he returned to the back door of the mansion.
"The ingredients, the ingredients were left behind when the big snake attacked. Ais scratched his head in embarrassment, and the original task had not been completed for a long time.
Leo also sighed helplessly.
"Forget it, I'll figure out the ingredients later, Miss Rezeta is still waiting for you. ”
"Rezeta!"
Hearing Rezeta's name, Ais's eyes lit up suddenly, and as she spoke, she wanted to go into the house and meet the eldest lady.
Tsk tsk, young people nowadays, why are they so impatient and so obvious, even I can't stand it.
Just as Aiz was about to enter the house, Leo grabbed Ais's hand.
"Wait. ”
"How...... What's wrong?"
"Ais, now I ask you privately as a friend, and you tell me honestly how you brought down that great serpent. ”
Hearing Leo's serious question, Ais cowered and lowered his head.
"Magic ......"
"What?"
"Hey, Ays, don't call me out at this time!" I hurriedly made a mental call with Ays through the temporary contract.
Aisi pursed his lips, shook his head and shouted, "Ais, please don't ask!"
With that, he shook off Ais's hand and ran towards the mansion.
I stole a glimpse into Leo's expression, as he stood farther and farther away from Ais, but the man's eyes betrayed deep suspicion.
After all, Aisi is just a child who can't lie, so it's inevitable to arouse suspicion.
It seems that for his sake, I must leave Ais as soon as possible and find another way to survive.
Aiz walked through the back door through the atrium of the mansion and before he could enter the house when he encountered Rezeta.
Rezeta had a new red dress, which fit perfectly, and she looked like a cute little princess against the backdrop of the red dress.
Rezeta was followed by two maids, who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, at the age of youth and beauty, and now they guarded Rezeta in the center, showing the dignity of the girl.
"Ayce, you...... Are you hurt?"
Rezeta couldn't help but look worried when she saw that Ais's clothes were tattered and covered in ash.
"Slightly, something happened. Ais scratched his head, fearing that Rezeta would be overly worried, so he hurriedly changed the subject.
"By the way, I heard that Rezetar is looking for me. ”
"Didn't I make an appointment with you yesterday?" Rezeta smiled and took Ais's hand as she spoke.
"Come with me into the house. ”
"Rezeta ......"
"What's wrong?"
"What's the matter with your hands?"
Ais was held by Rezeta's hand and did not move.
As if trying to hide something, Rezeta quickly pulled down her lace cuffs to hide what was there.
I looked at her wrist between the cover-ups of Rezeta, and I still saw what she was trying to hide.
Sure enough, there was something unusual - Rezetar had a rope-like bruise on her wrist.
Since Leo said in the morning not to care about Rezeta's injuries, the servants must have turned a blind eye to Rezeta's injuries.
But only Ays and I knew.
Rose didn't have any scars like that on her hands yesterday.
Although she was chased by such a demon, Rezeta did bruise her hands and feet, and her face was slightly bruised, but there were definitely no such unnatural slender scars.
The kid looked silly, he didn't expect to be so careful about Rezeta's affairs.
This time, Ais grabbed Rezeta's wrist instead.
"Painful ......"
Rezeta let go of her hand in an instant, and Ais's wrist was pinched, and she showed a pained expression.
Ays heard Rezeta's call and immediately let go of his hand.
"Hey, I'm sorry, Rezeta, you're alright. ”
"It's okay...... Rezeta's expression darkened.
She turned her back, looked back at Ais, and sighed, "I'll go back to my room first." ”
"But, didn't you say you had something to do with me?"
"I'll talk about it next time. ”
Rezeta's words drifted into Ais's ears like a thin cloud of smoke, and the girl walked deeper into the mansion accompanied by the maid.
The rest of Aiz stood alone in place, his face full of loneliness.
"Master ...... Wizard Book"
"What?"
"Am I doing something wrong......
"Of course, you're going to hurt the girl, look, now Rezeta is angry. ”
"But the wound on Rezeta's hand ......"
"Well, that wound does look a little suspicious. I know how worried you are about your girlfriend, but there are more important things to do right now. ”
"No, no, Rezeta isn't my girlfriend!"
Ais denied it again, his face blushing, and he seemed to be ashamed to the extreme.
Young people nowadays are really dishonest, forget it, I don't want to dwell on these issues with him anymore.
"Listen, Ais, you're in big trouble now. ”
"Big trouble?"
"It's too much trouble to be specific, anyway, now you have to do one thing for me. ”
"What's the matter?"
"You're going to find me a book. ”
"Books?"
"That's right, try to find a book about the size of me, the size you can hold in your hand, an old cover, the kind that looks like it has mysterious powers. ”
"As long as you meet the conditions, can you write any book?"
"Yes. ”
"But...... I don't have any money......"
"Stupid! Who said it would cost money to buy it, this is the city lord's home, isn't there a place like a study?"
"You mean, you want me to steal the Lord's things?! No, no, no, how can I steal things. ”
"I'm doing this for your own good, and it's not stealing, just borrowing it and returning it when it's used up. ”
"If that's the case, maybe so. Ais nodded, and agreed.
"Good. I replied satisfied, "Then let's take it to the city lord's study." ”
