You replied: It started a few days ago. Adventurers hunt nezumi sporadically in an attempt to reduce their numbers. At that time, I hadn't started to make the Kyokan wall, and my head was thrown elsewhere.

In a sense, this is true.

Uh-huh,

The marquis raised his trembling hand and said to the elf secretary: "Sister, remember 5." ”

The secretary took a pen and wrote the number 5 in the notebook, and then began to chat with Hathaway. Hathaway used honorifics throughout.

Suddenly, five or six carriages galloped from the direction of the market, stopped not far from the guild, and jumped down a large group of officials and guards, who swarmed around the marquis, shushing and asking for warmth. They had been looking for him all over town for a long time, and they were sweating profusely. A little later, the marquis's own dozen elite guards chased after him, running out of breath.

In the midst of the crowd of heads and faces, you see many familiar creatures, including the captain of the guard in the gold armor of the decorative ceremonial body, and the speaker of the council hall with countless medals pinned to his chest in a well-dressed manner, as well as the vice-captain and cousin of the speaker, as well as the female guard who has been petrified and the maid who has tried to assassinate you. There is quite a sense of immediacy of the finale, and the characters appear one after another.

It seems that the Great Lord is planning to grab the pot and sacrifice to the sky.

Annette quietly asked Fieltin, how old was the elf secretary who was converted into a human, and the latter should be in his twenties, that is, nearly two hundred years old. The elven secretary has served the Marquis since he was seven years old, and is still called a sister, which can be regarded as a good story against sub-racial discrimination and slavery.

Compared to these indifferent little things,

You were given a score of 5, is it high or low?What is the full score?According to what criteria?Didn't the marquis come to catch the pot and sacrifice to the sky, and what does this have to do with the Adventurer's Guild?

Stunned,

You suddenly notice a drop of sweat on Hathaway's forehead, and suddenly wake up! Maybe it's not just the Guards and the Council that worship the sky, but also the market and the adventurer's guild! As long as someone is responsible for this, it doesn't really matter whether the market guards steal or the adventurer's guild plays a bitter trick. At noon, the temperature in the air inexplicably dropped a few points.

A large crowd of people gathered around the Marquis—some were barons, viscounts, some were minor leaders of the guards, officials of the council, some were old acquaintances of the marquis's cronies, contemporaries of the guards—there was no place for you. The old man is no longer the old man who threw stones stupidly just now, and his aura is completely different.

His aura was jaw-dropping: "Ah...... I am hungry. ”

The old man's astonishing words made the surrounding magnates scatter in an instant, such as "Bring the carriage over!" and "Let the butler reply immediately, is the luncheon ready?"

A person of such a status as the captain or the speaker, of course, has his own information channels, and when he learned in advance that the marquis was coming, he prepared a sumptuous luncheon early, just waiting for the marquis to move. It's just that no one is sure which one the Marquis intends to go to for dinner. According to the normal procedure, he should be one of the most powerful guards in the town or the council hall, but it is possible that he could go directly to the affected area and eat at the market, which is not certain. Of course, the market managers are also fully prepared for this, and they are not afraid to eat, but they are afraid that they will not come.

"Hmm......" As the surroundings fell silent, the Marquis slowly raised his hand and pointed to the opposite door of the Adventurers' Guild and asked, "Why is this tavern not open?"

"Of course it's on!" the deputy captain of the guard immediately replied, "It's just that the employees of the Dragon Pavilion went to the market to help last night, so they locked it temporarily." Come on, open it up!"

This is a kind of subtle political exclusion.

There is no half of the Marquis who is in the market, except for the guard, which is the council hall. Over the years, the three forces have agreed that the market will not participate in political struggles, nor will it take the initiative to compete for any power, and then exchange for various benefits - in other words, no one in the scene, big or small, has the key to the "Dragon Pavilion"!

Many people began to have the courage to persuade the Marquis to go to a better place to eat, but the Marquis said that he had a bad leg and was too lazy to leave.

You touched your pocket,

Took out the key,

Click,

The door to the "Dragon Pavilion" was opened. The whole world fell into a deathly silence.

Countless people keep their mouths in the shape of "huh?" The most stunned of the group was Hathaway. She couldn't describe it as surprised anymore...... It seems to be a little ...... Afraid.

"Lord Marquis, wait a minute, I'll take the little ones forward to clean up and check for potential safety hazards. No one is sure if there really weren't any nezumi last night. Safety first!First!" With that, the vice-captain took four or five cronies to enter the "Dragon Pavilion" first.

You walk back to Hathaway, and suddenly you find that

her

The sound of a heartbeat is as deafening as a drum.

Two minutes later, the vice-captain walked out of the "Dragon Pavilion" with a smile: "Lord Marquis, you have waited for a long time, and there is no danger inside. I've already called someone to go to the market and recall all the staff, and I'll be ready to eat right away—hey, Lord, come on, I'm not familiar with the Dragon Pavilion, do you know where the ingredients are?"

Ha?

What the hell?

How would you know.

Although nominally you are the second boss who controls 49% of the Dragon Pavilion, you have just been named, and you haven't even received a penny, so how can you understand things in the kitchen. The problem is that the vice-captain shouts at you in front of too many big people, and you have to go over if you don't pass.

With a confused face, you walk into the "Dragon Pavilion", where you are taken by the vice-captain by the shoulders to avoid the Marquis's own private soldiers, and instead walk towards the kitchen.

Push open the door, make a few turns, and in front of you is a corpse - the former boss's daughter has a cyanotic face, no scars on her body, but her tongue is sticking out, her eyes are protruding, and she looks horrible to death. She also had a piece of paper on her chest.

"Slut Ends"

The deputy captain scratched his head: "As soon as I entered the door with a few brothers, I found that this girl was hanging on the beam of the room, and it was cold, so I immediately dragged her into the depths of the kitchen. You are also the second boss of the "Dragon Pavilion", do you have any clues?"

You shake your head.

“...... So, what are you going to do with this state of affairs?"

You shake your head.

The vice-captain gestured and called over the two guards. "My brother has been lying in this position for some years, this kind of thing has long been taken for granted, I will solve it with full authority, you don't have to worry about it. With that, the guards took out an expanded magic cloth bag, loaded the female corpse into it, and then opened the window and secretly jumped into the back street, and soon walked away and disappeared. The whole process is extremely proficient.

Someone died?

How did you die? Why did you die? Yesterday you covered your face and wept and barely smiled, but today you suddenly died?

The vice-captain said that although it looked like someone had strangled him to death on the beam of the dining room with hemp rope, he was actually killed by a single blow with wire by professional means, and then replaced it with hemp rope. Whoever the killer was, apparently had no intention of pretending to be a suicide – although he was perfectly capable of it, he did not – but instead pasted a piece of paper, which is a classic vendetta. The "Dragon Pavilion" handles almost all the mercenary commissions for the market, and there are countless people who have offended, plus the whole town was in chaos last night, so it has completely become an unsolved case that cannot be investigated. There were no employees last night, no father of the deceased, no other mercenaries there. The perfect opportunity to commit a crime, it seems that the murderer has been waiting for this moment for a long time.

A moment of silence,

The vice-captain patted you on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Of course it has nothing to do with the guild, but trouble is trouble, and the less the better." The Marquis is here today, "We'd better not have any trouble or extraneous things, your business is my brother's business. And the elders will be wise. ”

In fact, this murder has nothing to do with the guild at all, probably, but now is a special period, and it should indeed be better to have more than one less.

The vice-captain is willing to completely erase this murder for you,

As long as you can understand his words.

·

Ten minutes later, the empty kitchen changed its scene, it was crowded with men, women and children, and cooking for a few big people was like a war, filled with the tense atmosphere of drawing swords and crossbows, as if someone would completely evaporate as long as the food was served half a second late. In the midst of the crowd, you, the vice-captain, and the Speaker's cousin stand near the kitchen doorway and act as overseers.

Insufficient qualifications,

The captain and the speaker had already entered the private room on the second floor to chat with the marquis, while the vice-captain and the speaker's cousin were in charge of making sure that there would be no problems with the meal.

"Hey, don't panic, calm down, hold steady. If the pot in your hand falls to the ground, Lao Tzu will cut you immediately!" the deputy captain crossed his arms and kept slapping the ground with his toes.

The Speaker's cousin directs the constant flow of high-quality ingredients into the kitchen. Suddenly, he sighed and asked, "Strange, why isn't Jessica here?"

The vice-captain shrugged his shoulders and muttered that maybe he might be running away with his friend.

“...... Something suddenly occurred to me. The Speaker's cousin smiled strangely and said to himself, "Do you remember the second president of the Adventurer's Guild? He used to be Jessica's best friend. ”

This fat man actually said that others were fat.

The Speaker's cousin said while directing the food handling: "On the night he was assassinated, as far as I know, he hugged Jessica. Because I had always wondered how a man as shrewd as the second president could die in such a stupid way as assassination, I investigated it a little. And guess what? It's funny -- no one knows if Jessica seduced her or the second president, but Jessica was finally put on his bed. That night, to Jessica's surprise that she had a loud voice – a fact that more than one man described it – the elite bodyguards around the president couldn't take it anymore and went downstairs. And then there was no then. ”

The vice-captain sighed: "My lord, don't talk nonsense, you said as if Jessica and the killer killed ......"

"Oh, no, no, I'm just chatting, talking. The Speaker's cousin laughed, "Besides, in these days, "everything must be evidenced", isn't it? It's like "throwing dirty water on nothing", and in the end, "I" won't do it. ”

Grown-ups!

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

As the beautiful maids borrowed from the council chamber lined up in a long line, you all followed, and walked through the guards to the second floor. The vice-captain pushed open the door of the private room, bowed deeply, and counted the number of maids who walked in and out.

There were only four people in the private room,

The Marquis, the Captain of the Guard, the Speaker of the Council, and the Elven Secretary. The middle-aged high-ranking paladin beside the marquis was in charge of standing outside the door. So, of course, you can't be seated, so you just stand in the corridor with the paladins and wait.

A moment before the door closed, suddenly the elf secretary shouted, "Wait a minute!"

The vice-captain slammed the door open again, bowing slightly, listening to what else was told.

The elven secretary approached the marquis, mummmm ”

Hey!?

The corners of the speaker's cousin's mouth twitched, and he asked with a smile: "If it is to pour tea and pour wine, I can call other ......" Soon, he closed his mouth under the cold gaze of the elf secretary. This is not to blame him, even the vice captain was stunned, suspecting that he had heard it wrong, but as a martial artist, he didn't react for a while. Don't talk about them, you're stunned too. What is the sentence pattern of "Hathaway" of "who's house", which is popular this year? It seems that the elf secretary and Hathaway have met, and you wouldn't be so surprised if she summoned Hathaway to the table, but it was actually the Marquis's name?

What is Hathaway's identity?

According to her current position, she is standing under the sun of the "Dragon Pavilion" waiting for your safe return, and she is not even qualified to enter the restaurant. When she heard the summons, Hathaway's face turned pale, and she was more surprised than anyone else.

Walking up to the second floor, Hathaway was shown "Lie Detection" by the Paladin. She looks at you with a desperate expression, as if she wants to say goodbye to the guillotine.

The moment she opened the door, Hathaway returned to a more normal demeanor than usual in a thousandth of a second. She saluted slightly to the Marquis and other dignitaries, smiled quietly, neither humble nor arrogant, and stood respectfully in place.

Door closing,

You can't see or hear what's going on inside. Anyway, the vice-captain and the speaker's cousin are all dumbfounded and speechless.

What would the Marquis ask her?

Won't you die...... The vice-captain muttered. These are extraordinary times, and it's hard to say anything.

Do you want to eat?—— Speaker's cousin grabbed a delicate piece of snack from the plates of the maids and secretly stuffed it into his mouth. The vice-captain also took a bottle of wine from the maid's hand, bit the cork and drank a few sips, and then hid behind him.

You...... I lost my appetite at all because of that muttering.

Suddenly, the cousin heard several people walking up the stairs, hurriedly wiped his mouth, and stood straight, and the deputy captain threw the wine bottle to the guards around him with his backhand. Soon, seven or eight strange big people went up to the second floor.

The Speaker's cousin immediately stretched out his hand and greeted, "Welcome to the law enforcement team, this town is extremely honored. ”

"It's been a long time since I've seen an old friend. The nobleman who walked in second place shook hands with the Speaker's cousin and hugged each other with a warm attitude, "Where is the Marquis?"

The Speaker's cousin pointed to the closed door.

The aristocrat raised his forehead and sighed again and again: "I really can't stand the old man's eccentric character." After saying that he would eat in the council hall, he shook off all the guards without saying a word and went straight to the Adventurer's Guild, so that we had just eaten two bites and changed here. And the rice, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, the same high-end ingredients used in the council hall, rest assured, lords!" said the speaker's cousin respectfully leading the way, and let a few members of the law enforcement team walk next door to the private room where the marquis was.

The vice-captain saluted and said to the fourth big man: "Hello sir!"

"Hey, your kid is still alive, I'm really surprised! It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive!" The nobleman in the armor of the holy warrior hugged each other with a big grin, and patted each other's backs, "How about it, I heard that a lot of brothers died a while ago?"

"It's all the little brother who is incompetent, and I'm ashamed to say it. The vice captain scratched his head with a wry smile, and then led the way together after the political table, "The adults have worked hard, please come here, and the food will be served immediately, soon." ”

A group of law enforcement officers walked in front of you,

suddenly

The nobleman who had hugged the Speaker's cousin stood still and looked back at you: "Who is this? Could it be the Elder?"

The Speaker's cousin nodded.

"You've done a good job. Very good. The nobleman walked back, stood in front of you, and held your hand tightly, "Are you free in the afternoon, we will ask the market to see the damage after dinner." How about calling the "Golden Crown" together?"

Hey?

Who to call?

"Oh, this is the Elder Grown, see me for the first time. The paladin who had hugged the vice-captain also walked back, shook your hand, and patted the back of your hand, "It's a miracle that your kid has survived until now." Why don't you go to the market together in the afternoon?

Hey?

What's the situation?

"We're mainly responsible for inspecting the east side of the market, so if it's convenient, just come to me in the afternoon. The nobleman smiled and waved at you, and followed the other law enforcement officers into the private room.

"I'm mainly in charge of the west side market, and I met with the elder in the afternoon. The paladin patted the back of your hand a few more times and walked into the private room with a smile.

The vice-captain looked at you dumbfounded, unable to say a word. The Speaker's cousin scratched his head and asked in a low voice, "Lord, are you...... How did you know the Viscount of the neighboring town?"

yes, they ask you who you are going to ask. Yesterday's daily life seemed to have collapsed overnight, and it would not return to normal until the Marquis left.

What are you going to do in the afternoon?

A, take the "Golden Crown" to the east side of the market to accompany the inspection.

B, take the "Water Moon Companion" to the west side of the market to accompany the inspection.
