Light 13.3-A chapter: Burned to ashes

·

You have decided to go to the vice-captain's house this evening. Hathaway takes you by the arm and sets off together, never following anyone else, not even Annette.

"No, it's useless. Hathaway explained without waiting for you to ask, "We are on good terms with the Guards at the moment, so we don't have to bring anyone else, and it's useless to bring them." A level 14 leader-level warrior, an official position that has been killed with a bow and a sword in bloody battles, even if the new and old staff of the whole guild are dispatched, it will be difficult to save your life under his sword. ”

Come to the vice-captain's house,

There are still only loving and beautiful couples. His wife does cook home-cooked dishes with all the flavors and smells, and pours ordinary red wine for everyone. After three rounds of drinking, the vice captain finally cut from small talk to the point.

"Brother has received reliable information that after the Marquis has made a final inspection of the work of the Council Hall tomorrow morning, the market, the guards, the Council Hall and even the Adventurers' Guild will all be inspected. He will join the law enforcement team tomorrow afternoon in the trial court to arrest people and sacrifice them to heaven. There is no doubt that by tomorrow evening, at least one person will be carried to the corner of the market, tied to a stake side by side with the worthless thieves and scoundrels. Of course, it will certainly not be the captain or the speaker who will die, but me or the cousin of the speaker. ”

"Asking for a wife and a child or something, haha, my brother doesn't plan to die like this. I've heard that the greedy fat man has done a stupid thing to you—when the fuck is it, and he still fantasizes that he can still control the situation, and he gives gifts with grace and power, and he has no sincerity at all! He has been fighting for so long that he has forgotten that he is really just a dog. Always. And I am different. ”

Gifts, you should be a little more cheerful—— he let you look at the original copies of the three case filing materials, and then burned them to ashes in front of you.

The first is about Jessica, the daughter of the former owner of the "Dragon Pavilion", a tavern clerk reported that she is missing, and if there is a report, a case must be filed; the second is about the arrest application of "Akami Tide", when raiding the hive area of the nezumi clan, a large-scale armament production facility was discovered, and it was blown up in a hurry, which also caused the collapse of a street in the civilian area, injuring more than 30 people. Because he is a hero, this arrest application has been withheld to this day, and the third is a secret letter about the sighting of a suspected witch, a long time ago, Raumi was worried that he would be temporarily short of food, so he ran to other taverns at night to look for prey in advance, which triggered a jealous fight among four or five drunks, and was recognized as his real person. In this town, the witch or something is not a big deal, and she is also detained by the vice captain.

maybe

He wasn't that kind, and originally planned to pit you at a critical moment, but in any case, it's all burned to the ground now. He is much smarter than the Speaker's cousin, if he can live, of course he will not talk about these three cases, and if he dies, he will have no chance, so it is better to simply burn them all in front of you.

His wife handed Hathaway a cloth bag, which contained dazzling gems and gold ornaments, and a certificate of identification, worth a total of 2,000 gold.

2000 gold!

"If my brother is on the side of the council, he may also be gracious, but you and I are brothers, and the most basic trust that the court will not betray me is still there. ”

On the way back, you asked Hathaway if it was really okay to receive such a large sum of money?

Ha?

- Her eyes seemed to read, "I even dare to accept dangerous gifts from the council hall, what are you talking about until now?" Anyway, it was the ill-gotten gains obtained from drug trafficking with a group of thieves. If the vice-captain is safe and sound, he won't care about the money if it's too late to be happy, and if he doesn't survive, he won't care about it.

Back to the guild,

Hathaway noticed that the suspicious refugees in the hall had been reduced from three to two, and asked what was going on. One of the guards, who was still standing guard, scratched his head and replied: Because a certain guy in the first group of refugees sneakily wanted to bribe them with 100 gold, he was directly sent to prison. At such a fateful juncture, even if they were given the entire dragon treasure, they would not dare to accept it.

As for why the guards were bribed, and what they planned to do after the bribes, there is no way to know.

So far, the market has eliminated one hidden danger for the guild, and the guards have also eliminated one, and the last two are probably you'll need to deal with them on your own.

It was completely dark, and Julianne returned to the guild from the street with Annette and Lucia on a sad face, and the first thing she said to you was, "It's not going well." I have already made two trips to the temple with the letter of introduction from the cousin of the speaker, the first time I didn't see my senior, the second time I saw it, but the senior clergy saw the letter of introduction and said that they could only erase the scar of one person; I said all the good things before I finally persuaded the other party, but just now when I really brought Annette and Lucy Xia to the temple together, the other party saw the mermaid clan with pale blue skin, and instantly changed his mind! Say they have no right to treat the subrace, please try to go to the neighboring town for help, it's too much!"

"I'll go again tomorrow morning. It's all prevarication, I'm also from the temple, who are you fooling?"

"I'll go with you personally, and tomorrow morning you must get the two slave brands done, otherwise it will only be even more difficult to find the temple for treatment. You, tomorrow go back to the Speaker's cousin's mansion with Elizabeth and ask him to strengthen communication with the Temple. If the person is not dead, the letter of introduction will not work? ”

Ahh

Everyone is starting to get nervous.

It's no wonder, after all, tomorrow is Armageddon. Hathaway decisively deals with matters where the pros and cons are obvious and there is no need to ask for instructions, Fierdine and Adele are counting the adventurers' activity point rankings, Annette reassures Lucia that she doesn't have to worry, the brand will definitely be removed, Elizabeth puts away her smile and looks at the wall as if she is thinking about something, Julianne is deliberating with Hathaway about how to deal with the pedantic guys in the temple tomorrow, and Raumi is still in horror because she narrowly escaped during the day today.

you

Drinking tea,

I thought I should spend two gold coins to build a shiny, high-off bird stand for Harpy, or else I wouldn't want to close the bedroom door and do something in my life.

"You...... Are you sure?"

You nod to Hathaway.

You make a wish to her, "Give me a warning when an option arises that could put my or other guild employees in danger of life. (7 likes)

"To be honest, if I had confidence in my decision-making power, I would have become the president myself. I wasn't going to influence your judgment, but since it's a wish...... Of course, I will!" Hathaway seriously promised. From now on, her suggestions and analysis will be bracketed in the options for informational purposes only.

Now there's a small matter that needs to be consulted for your judgment - the level 5 female priest introduced by Julianne has unwittingly joined the "Golden Crown" in the chaos and may soon come to register the fixed team.

Normally, Hathaway wouldn't bother you with such a trivial matter, but because the "Golden Crown" has a crazy girl, she can't say anything.

What are you going to do?

A, let her go. (Because the mode of action is extremely unstable, if the "Golden Crown" has a priest to join, it can be destroyed 10,000 times)

B, Block. (At present, the four people of the "Golden Crown" have a good tacit understanding, and adding another person may be variable.) The more people, the lower the cohesion, which is common sense in the world)
