After the meeting with Ellis, the two of us left the coffee shop around the corner. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The snow outside had stopped, but it was even colder. I just felt sick, but with Ellis by my side, I couldn't show my discomfort.

I haven't been stable for the past few days, and I can't eat, and I can feel that I'm getting weaker and weaker. But why is this so? I think it's weird. Ben should be the most vigorous stage of qi and blood at my age, and I usually recover from injuries in three or five days, why do I feel uncomfortable all over my body as soon as winter enters the winter? Even the senses become dull.

While I was thinking about things alone, a figure suddenly fell in front of us

The two of us were stunned for a moment, and before we could react, out of nowhere, a few more angry little hooligans came out of nowhere, and beat the man on the ground, and they were all swearing and swearing, and I didn't know what to say.

Ellis and I looked at each other and didn't speak.

Unexpectedly, a little hooligan with a cockscomb head saw us looking at each other, and thought that we were planning something, so he suddenly stepped forward with a fierce attitude: "Little white face, what do you see!" ”

I glanced at him and calmly replied, "I'm not looking at you......"

"Do you dare to talk back? Yes? Hearing my words, "Cockscomb" immediately became angry, grabbed me by the neckline, and raised his hand to punch me.

"Wait!" At this time, a little green-haired hooligan stopped the "cockscomb", and the "cockscomb" had no choice but to give up.

Green-haired stopped beating the poor guy on the ground, and the others stopped their movements and stared at the two of us. Looks like the green-haired guy should be the head of this group of thugs.

The gangster head took two steps forward, and suddenly reached out and began to tidy up my collar that was originally torn by the "cockscomb head", and said to me with a smile: "Oh, look at the clothes of the two, I don't know which young lady is it?" Brother, I'm short of money now, how about borrowing some flowers? ”

Ellis looked at the scene in front of him and felt incredible, and the doubts in his eyes seemed to ask: How come there are still civilians in this capital who are not afraid of death who dare to blackmail nobles? Don't they know that most of the nobles are mages who are far more powerful than them?

The head of the gangsters seemed to see through Ellis's thoughts, and said with a smile: "This young lady must be thinking about how a pariah like us dares to make a move against a noble lord, right?" Maybe this little brother on the ground can help you answer this question. His eyes were rolling back and forth on Ellis's body, and he couldn't take them off again.

Only then did I realize that there was a young man dressed in a gorgeous costume on the ground, who should be dressed as a noble son, and at this time his nose and face were swollen and he was humming in pain on the ground. Since I don't have any impression of him, and I know most of the noble sons in the capital, I guess he must be the son of a declining family.

I was a little confused, so I asked him, "What's wrong?" ”

The little brother only curled up on the ground, shaking his head again and again, not daring to make a sound.

I just thought that maybe after standing outside for a long time, my right hand began to go numb again, and I couldn't help but frown.

The gangster thought I was expressing my displeasure, and his expression suddenly became hideous.

"Little white face, what are you proud of? I'm telling you, the kind of person I don't like the most! Isn't it just to have a good father? Thought it would be great to know a few spells? Master, let me tell you, without a magic weapon, you are like a fly in my eyes, just strangle you!"

I looked at his thick arms with a blank face, and thought to myself that what he said was true. If an ordinary mage didn't have a wand in hand, it would take some time to immediately draw a magic circle that could inflict damage on a man as strong as him.

Then if there were so many of them together, the fragile little body of an ordinary mage might not be able to withstand it. But the reality is that the people they're dealing with now are me and Ellis......

Isn't the result obvious?

I was unwell and before I could make a move, Ellis was already impatient. She kicked a pebble on the side of the road, and the unbiased head of the gangster was in the head. He didn't react and fell to the ground.

Obviously, this stunned the rest of the gangsters.

When they reacted, they all became angry, and I glanced at Ellis, and was about to say something, when she suddenly turned around and blocked in front of me, and in three or two clicks, she took out those who didn't know what to do. This makes me embarrassed: how can a big man still need a woman to do it?

And the sound made in the process also attracted patrols in the vicinity.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable to him, the little hooligan rolled his eyes, but instead hit a rake, and shouted at the non-commissioned officer who led the team: "Oops! Oh no! Adults, come and take a look! The aristocracy oppressed the commoners! ”

Ellis looked at them coldly, and remained silent, just waiting for the patrol to slowly approach.

The patrol had heard what had happened, and they were all still in high spirits, but when they saw Ellis, they all withered, and they lined up tremblingly.

The little hooligans noticed that the situation was different, and they became angry one by one: "I know, you collude with each other, only help the nobles, regardless of the ...... of the commoners" Before the words fell, they were kicked to the ground by the head of the guard. The chief of the guard said to Ellis with a flattering face: "Boss, what to do with these little hooligans? ”

Ellis didn't look back: "Bring it back to the team, and I'll deal with it when I'm done with my vacation." ”

The little rascal's eyes were about to fly out.

It's a pity that they understood too late, and they may have to suffer what they will have to suffer when they leave.

After the patrol dragged away the little rascals, we remembered the beaten aristocratic little brother, who was still curled up on the ground, trembling with fear.

I grabbed him up: "What's the matter, as for being scared like this?" ”

Unexpectedly, he suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Don't say it!" ”

What not to say out?

My heart suddenly became full of doubts, what is so important?

And the little brother quickly realized that the person he was facing was no longer those little rascals, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

My instinct told me it wasn't that simple, so I asked him what the hell was going on.

The little brother seemed to have a somewhat cowardly personality, and before I could ask him much, he told us himself.

The little brother said, "I am the son of the Chengxi Cory family. Since childhood, I have been frail and sickly, so I have not attended the Royal War College, so I am not a mage. Originally, I had nothing to do with those thugs, but then they caught me...... I've been threatening it for the last few days. ”

I saw his eyes flickering, and knew that he was lying, so I said coldly, "Aren't you going to tell the truth?" ”

Ellis looked surprised when he heard my words, and the little brother was already sweating and couldn't speak.

The little brother collapsed to the ground at once, begging for mercy: "I was wrong! Two adults, I was wrong! I shouldn't have lied to you. I'm not really a nobleman, I'm just a liar who eats and drinks, steals chickens and dogs. On the 15th, I sneaked into the Duke's Palace in the afternoon, trying to take advantage of the chaotic waters to fish and take advantage of it, but I happened to bump into a fatal ......."

Wait a minute! Killed?

I grabbed him by the collar: "Tell me clearly, which duke?" ”

"Yes...... Diplomat Duke Gould ......"

My heart tightened, isn't this Alexander's father in the first murder!

The little brother continued to say intermittently: "That day, the demons in the city had just retreated, and most of the big families in the city had their doors open, and I saw that the back door of Duke Gould's house was wide open and there was no one, so I ...... I had bad thoughts, but who would have thought that I would just see him die in front of me...... At that time, I was really scared stupid, and I ran out with a lot of pee, and who knew that I was seen by those gangsters. Later, as soon as the news of the duke's death came out, they came to the door and threatened that I had killed the duke and took the opportunity to extort money, so I couldn't ......"

"If you can kill Duke Gould, someone has to believe it, right?" I didn't care what he did, I just wanted to know how Duke Gould died, so I hastily interrupted him and asked, "Tell me, how did Duke Gould die?" ”

"Actually, I don't know...... I just remember that the duke was in the room on the second floor at that time...... I could see clearly in the courtyard when suddenly a dark shadow flashed in front of my eyes...... There seems to be a fireball as well...... And then there are the dark clouds...... And then suddenly it exploded...... No, it's not...... There are two people...... And then it exploded......"

What is this?

I couldn't help frowning, what did you say? But the way he looked at him didn't look like he was lying to me.

I asked, "Then do you see what those two people look like?" ”

The little brother's head shook like a rattle: "No...... No, if I had seen it, would I have survived until now? ”;
