8.10-B: The Only Clue
·
You hold the carriage tightly with one hand and climb up.
It's already hard not to be thrown off by a bumpy carriage. Either grasp and stand firm with one hand, or draw the sword out of the sheath with one hand and fall. You're pulling a killer—— you can get the best of both worlds.
You guessed it, the coachman is an unrelated person. From his point of view, he didn't see any crossbow arrows shooting at all, but he heard some people shouting and scolding behind the car, and he thought that something was not going well. Finally, he understood what was happening and immediately slowed down the carriage.
Before you can stop completely, you draw your dagger and lift the rear curtains.
......?
No one?
But the side doors are wide open.
When you just climbed into the back of the car, you saw a woman in the car through the curtain, not fully armed, but in ordinary civilian clothes, and she couldn't see clearly. With just one stroke of lifting the curtain, the killer disappeared without a trace. The opponent is a high-level wanderer or assassin with excellent stealth skills, and there are no suspicious creatures in the surrounding crowd.
The killer escaped.
The coachman was pressed to the ground and tied up by the guards who pounced on him, shouting that he had been wronged; Julian ran out when she heard the noise, and immediately gave the young captain both detoxification and treatment, but fortunately in time; the crowd of onlookers stood far away, but they gathered more and more, invisibly hindering the continued pursuit of the killer; the carriage was only temporarily rented by a veiled woman, and had been parked in front of the adventurer's guild for a whole day.
The captain of the young team fully recovered, and immediately gathered around the female guard with the four or five guards who rushed to hear the news, and left in a hurry, going to the nearest guard duty post as originally planned.
Three young girls surround you, eagerly asking if you are hurt. Even a mere abrasion can kill you. With good luck and judgment, you survived.
Fierting tugged at your sleeve: "Why are you rushing towards the carriage! next time, please dodge to the side, it will be safer!"
"To protect us. Adele was grateful, "At that time, my senior and I were on the side of the carriage, and if you dodge that way, we are afraid that we will ...... Thank you very much, you are so great that you can take care of the safety of others in the moment of life and death!"
Well?
......
...... Well.
You replied, "That's what should be done." As the president, how can he dodge to both sides and harm the employees? No, there is no such option.
Syllable!
Hathaway suddenly slaps you in the face!
"Please, please, next time get out of my place!
Your face is hot. Before the pain could come, the secretary in front of you grabbed you by the collar and threw himself into your arms and cried bitterly. I cried very sadly.
Your chest is cold now, your face is hot, and your collar is pulling hard at your injured shoulder, which hurts even more.
"Show affection, wait a minute. ”
Julianne lifted Hathaway with both hands, threw her hands behind her, and approached you step by step. Obviously, you are also injured and need to be treated by a health care practitioner, although it is not urgent. Responsibilities.
You can't help but hold your shoulders and step back.
The ghost cry of the elven archer is still vivid in my mind, and it is a waste of words to say to Julianne that "I will pay for it" or "I don't need to cure it". In a hurry, you ask, is your shoulder slightly injured, or is it a slanderous injury?
"Hah, even if the bones are exposed in the shoulder, it is a minor injury, just wrap a bandage. "Click, Julianne pinched the knuckles of her fingers, suggesting that you should simply come to your senses.
It's all off work today, and there won't be any more adventurers, so there's no need for her to keep the number of spellcasts. As an employer, you ask to take advantage of her: get the "Slander Heal" spell and not pay!
Julianne's focus shifts to the topic of whether or not to charge. She thought for a moment and nodded, "It's okay." Anyway, there is no cost of healing, and you are the leader, so I still have a lot of healing spells left today, and it would be a waste not to use it. ”
So, you enjoyed the healing spell,
So, you get free treatment.
So you succeeded the killer and escaped death again from Julianne's screaming therapy. Thanks for the evening.

The carriage incident was lively for a long time, and in the end, the killer was not chased, and as the sun almost set, the streets returned to their former tranquility.
Although the killer managed to escape, you didn't find nothing either.
Two vocalizations. The second "Coachman, left, quick!" is heard by both you and the driver, and it is a very sharp falsetto, camouflaged, and of no identifying value. Although the first "Huh?" was also sharp, it was undisguised because of surprise, and it was an original voice, which was different from the other voice. You are the only one who can identify the killer's true identity.
The voice is unfamiliar, not around you.
We'll have to talk about that another day.
Now, where are you and Hathaway going to hang out?
A, Guards. You go to the vice-captain to see the goods, and by the way, tell him personally that the private commission has been completed.
B, Council Hall. You go to the Speaker's cousin to see the goods and apologize for the stone statue commission to explain it in person.
C, Market.
D, forget it.
