Chapter 14: Like an Avalanche (5)

Guess what?

I tried to straighten out the messages he had passed on to me, one by one.

"There are many signs of abuse on Eyler's body, and these marks are caused by people from other displaced villages."

"Eyler's mental condition isn't great."

"The Wanderer Village will be transformed into a manor belonging to the Warblade Mercenary Regiment."

"Chelsea only hired some homeless people, and what they didn't hire was just some markers."

"A mercenary who knew Bednar well captured a strange man in front of a weak woman in a low, humble room. And it was clearly planned."

The mixed information doesn't seem to have a lot of connections, and there is such a "sudden" incident in front of me, and I can't react at once.

I thought I should find a common ground in this.

Thinking about it, suddenly the woman's exhausted cry was heard in his ears.

I came back to my senses and saw that the woman who had been trembling just now was lying on the ground, venting her fear without hesitation.

Bednar walked in, helped the woman up, and led her to the bench.

"This lady is ......," I asked, Bernar.

"Eyler's mother." Bednar had her back to me, her straight back hidden in the shadows.

…… This...... The common denominator, is it Eller?

-- This thought popped into my head.

Could it be that Eller is the mercenary group's internal response to the outcast's village? In order to make the mercenary group's homeless village renovation plan go smoothly, an accident was specially created?

You know, the mercenary group was able to take down the homeless village along the way, and this accident played a big role.

At this moment, I suddenly had the feeling that I had seen through and grasped the big picture.

I was about to state my thoughts to Bednar when the words stopped.

If, if Eller is really Neiying, he sacrifices his life to help the mercenary group complete this disgusting deed. That...... It should be regarded as the selfishness of the mercenary group.

I'll say it bluntly.

Will......

Although I feel that Bernar is a very generous person, I ...... To be honest, I couldn't fully trust him, and I wasn't sure what he really meant by asking me to "guess".

After thinking for a moment, I made a look of sudden realization and said to Bednar, "I see, Eller must have been instructed by those who abused him, so he drove the traffic car into the tree. ”

"Those displaced people must be dissatisfied with our plan to renovate the displaced villages – I know, there are always some old diehards who do."

"So...... Was their aim to take revenge on Chelsea in the transport car? ”

As I said this, I felt like I was about to believe these reasons.

☆★☆

Bena soothed the weeping woman in the room, then stepped out and patted me on the shoulder with some appreciation: "Kolo, what a sharp lad you are. ”

I smiled at him, trying to be as sincere as I could.

"Yes. When Chelsea's transport car got into an accident, we immediately suspected the homeless village. ”

"Through some investigation, we found this woman and monitored her, it has been seven or eight days, I was supposed to get a contract with you today, but I didn't expect to meet Biden to catch that person."

"With a few small means, it won't be long before we can uproot those hateful guys."

Bednar explained to me, looking very relaxed.

"It's wonderful." As I said this, I looked at the woman sitting in the room, "That...... What will this lady do in the future? ”

"Someone will transfer her to another manor soon." Bena's expression was gentle: "We don't want her to be hurt any more." ”

I nodded, "That...... Shall we go and get the contract now? ”

"Okay."

Bednar was the first to walk out of the house, and I followed him, and after some distance, I turned my head to look at the dilapidated and dark house. It only felt like there was a layer of shadow hanging over the house.

Although what Bednar said seems reasonable.

But......

Some complicated feelings came up in my heart.

- I didn't forget it. I won't forget jì either.

-- Of the many casualties, only the Earl of Chelsea was almost unflawed...... Walked out of it.

☆★☆

A few days after the contract was obtained, the mercenary group 6 continued to capture some homeless people.

After a brief interrogation, we handed them over to the pickets in the city.

Their bodies were covered in dirt and their bodies were mostly emaciated, but each of them had a fierce expression like a wolf on their faces. They confessed to abusing Eyler, but all stated that they had only been lightly beaten.

In each break ...... It could also be that they confessed to coercing Eyler into committing the "murder" of the Earl of Chelsea.

Biden, the big man who caught the displaced people that day, once said to me with a sigh that if he hadn't been abused by them and coerced by them, Eller might not have gone to such extremes, and there should be more tolerance and understanding between people.

- "When you are in an avalanche, you don't think it's your fault. ”

It seems to make a lot of sense.

I think Biden might be better suited to be a philosopher than to do this kind of bloody interrogation.

Although there are still a lot of doubts in my heart. Although there are still some discomforts and discomforts. Even...... I find it a little ironic.

But I was silent for the time being. After all, I don't have any evidence, and everything is just an inference.

In the blink of an eye, it was the height of summer, and the air was unspeakably humid.

After living in the boreal forest for three years and getting used to the dry air there. I feel like my nose is filling up with water every time I breathe now.

Seeing that I was in such pain, Bednar suggested that I follow them to Xida 6 to complete a single collection task.

"We're going to West University 6 to collect the scarce St. Louise Flower from East University 6." "The summer in the West 6 is not as hot and humid as in the East 6, and we go into the forest to collect, so you must be much better off than staying here," said Bena. ”

There weren't many people with me, three or four other than Bednar and me.

I just didn't expect it...... The Earl of Chelsea came with us.

He has always been only responsible for managing the mercenary group's property and recruiting mercenaries, and has not done any single mission.

It's a bit of a surprise to suddenly have to join our collection mission.

Because of the long journey, I changed my usual mage robes for short, tight-fitting ones like those of a gladiator.

The fabric gets soaked with sweat when you walk around and sticks to your skin, which is very uncomfortable. But for the sake of its convenience, I can live with it.

It's just that this dress naturally surprised Chelsea again.

I didn't bother to explain either.

☆★☆

The Saint Louise flower, which is not a beautiful flower, grows in the distant West University6 and blooms in the summer. And its biggest use......

It is the material which is incense.

Yes, the Saint Louise flower is not a medicinal herb and has no ornamental value. However, the spices made from it have been born from the very beginning.

It sold well in the whole Big 6. Today, although there are artificially cultivated St. Louis flowers, wild St. Louis flowers have a higher value because of this.

What we are going to collect now is the pure and natural Saint Louise flower that grows in the forest.

On the way, Bednar told me everything he knew about the flowers of St. Louise. He is really very knowledgeable, and he does not hide his secrets. The more time I spend with him, and the more I understand his honest and reliable nature, the more precious I feel that such a person is very precious.

☆★☆

After walking for a few days, I finally saw a flowing water source.

Under the moonlight, the water surface was sparkling, and I felt that the joy of joy had flown out of my heavenly spirit cover at this moment, and I rushed there to have a deep communication with the water waves.

While they were making dinner over the campfire, I hurried to the water to wash up.

I've been on the verge of losing my nose to the smell of my body these days—as a healing magician who can tell the difference between potions and herbs by my nose, I can't allow such a thing to happen.

The smell of beans and roasted meat filled the air, and I buried myself in the cold water, sniffed the wonderful smell deeply, and suddenly felt a sense of comfort.

Such fragrant Burke beans must have been made by Bena.

He would hollow out the boke, add the fragrant bolognese sauce and a little bit of vegetables, and then cook them together, and the flavor of the bolognese would melt into the boke, and when you bite into it, it will be so delicious that your tongue will swallow it.

It was Bednar who made me realize for the first time that cheap Burke beans can be so delicious.

Suddenly I couldn't stand still, I walked to the shore, my upper body gradually exposed to the water, the heat with the water steaming a little bit, the wind blowing, a little cold.

Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps on the shore, followed by the sound of Chelsea. Soon, he appeared in front of me, still holding a steaming Burke bean in his hand.

He waved at me and called my name.

I quickly wiped off the water droplets, put on a change of clothes, and walked over.

"If you don't come again, those guys will probably steal everything." Chelsea's voice was a little hoarse, and he handed me the Burke bean in his hand: "That...... I'll leave the place I bruised today, and I'll leave it to you in a moment. ”

No wonder he was willing to bring me Bennet's special Burke Bean, because he wanted me to take care of his wounds.

However, I sometimes really wonder if he is a fighter with his own wrestling skills. Why do you always hurt yourself so often?
