Anson left Subiris and headed north, to a small town near the border to the north.

The city was called Cranor, a predominantly agricultural town that was about half the size of Subiris and extremely sparsely populated.

After arriving here, Anson went directly to a ruined mansion in the city, only to see that the gate of the mansion was rusty, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and even the glass on the windows of the mansion was all broken for some reason.

This is Nikolai's home, Anson once came with Nikolai, and Anson was very surprised at why such a good mansion could be abandoned like this.

At that time, Nikolai saw Anson's surprised face, and told him about himself.

Nikolai's full name is Nikolai Crowley.

His father, Sander Crowley, was a very influential merchant in the kingdom, and this Cranor City is because of the continuous hard work of the ancestors of the Crowley family for generations.

And at that time, Nikolai was a member of the brave team, so Jiawen ordered Nikolai's family to move to Herman City.

But he was rejected by Sander, because the Crowley family has lived on the land of Cranor for generations, and every brick and tile here has the hard work of the Crowley family, and he is really reluctant to leave here.

Originally, if nothing else, Nikolai's family would continue to live happily here, but suddenly one day, this family, which was respected by the locals, became the object of hatred.

At that time, there were several murders in the vicinity of Cranor, and the murderer's method of killing was extremely cruel, each victim was killed by a body burst, and the city's garrison was slow to find the murderer, which made the whole city panic.

Nikolai, who learned of this, was worried about the safety of his parents, so he invited Jean and others to go back to Cranno to investigate.

By the time Nikolai and the others arrived at Cranor, everyone in the city was already in danger, the doors of every house were locked, and the whole city was as quiet as a dead city.

After the visit of Nikolai and others, it was learned that more than 20 people died in Cranor at that time.

Some of these 20 people are locals, and some are business travelers passing through here, but there is still no clue about the identity of the murderer.

Even the guards in the city looked frightened when they talked about it, and there were even rumors that monsters were haunting the city.

But after Nikolai and the others investigated, they were convinced that the incident was man-made, not a monster.

And after nearly a month of investigation, they locked up a suspect, and this person was Tander's adopted son, Nikolai's brother-in-law, Matthew Keggins.

Matthew's parents were originally Sander's best friends, but an accident caused the young Matthew to lose both parents, which made Matthew's temperament change drastically and he stopped talking to people.

After the death of his best friend, Sander took Matthew home and took him in as his adopted son.

Originally, Matthew's few words did not attract Jean's attention, but Jean overheard someone talking about seeing Matthew going out at night.

This, coupled with Matthew's looming hostility, made Jean suspicious of Matthew.

And after feeling Qin's suspicion, Matthew couldn't help but hide it, but directly found Qin and had a big fight with Qin and others.

Although Matthew couldn't beat them at all, they also failed to deal with Matthew, but let Matthew escape, which surprised everyone.

After Matthew fled, the crisis in the city was barely resolved, but the people in the city were extremely dissatisfied with Nikolai and his family.

After Nikolai and the others left, the situation deteriorated, and Sander and his wife were subjected to the cold violence of everyone in the city, and finally died of depression under the burden.

After the death of his parents, Nikolai left Jean's party and returned to Cranor, where he locked himself up in a mansion that had been vandalized for a long time, before venturing around as an adventurer and rarely returning to Cranor.

Anson couldn't help but sigh as he looked at this mansion, which had long been a human being.

In the courtyard, Anson did not linger too long, and after entering the mansion, Anson went directly to Nikolai's study.

Anson pushed open the door and approached Nikolai's cluttered study, only to see that on either side of the room were two large bookshelves, the shelves were full of books, and there were many manuscripts and stone slabs scattered on the floor, and the desk facing the door was similarly piled up.

Anson came to the desk, he opened one of the drawers of the desk, inside was a very heavy notebook, Anson took it out and opened it, only to see that the medicinal properties of various herbs were recorded in it, and how to use it.

Anson directly flipped the notebook in his hand to the back, where the mixing ratio of many potions was recorded, and these were the formulas of the potions that Nikolai cherished Anson before he died.

After getting the potion formula, Anson left Cranor directly and flew all the way to Heilman City.

In Helman City, in the Mansion of the Brave, Morpheus and the others gathered together with Crossa, only to see that the six people in the room all had serious faces, and the reason was the letter on the table in front of them.

"Teacher, is the news in the letter true?"

Morpheus asked with a serious look as he looked at Crossa.

"The source of the message is reliable, but the content of the message has yet to be confirmed. ”

"Lord Crossa, you don't mean to ask us to confirm the news on this letter, do you?"

After Croza answered Morpheus's question, Gurakoro on the side looked a little excited, obviously he was very resistant to the content of the letter and related matters.

"That's what Your Majesty meant. ”

Hearing Gurakoro's words, Krosa glanced at the other five, then he slowly got up and walked to the window of the room, frowning.

"This matter is very wide-ranging, and if it is true as the letter says, it will surely shake the foundation of our country, and even civil strife will occur. ”

"I'm afraid that if the content of the letter is true, the unrest in the country will only be regarded as the lightest loss. ”

Leon picked up the letter on the table again, looked at its contents, and shook his head.

"Now Your Majesty is also very upset, so I hope that you will secretly investigate this matter. ”

"But teacher, there have been countless people staring at this mansion every day recently, and we will investigate it, I'm afraid it will startle the snake. ”

"Don't worry, soon those eyes will be attracted to another person. ”

"Are you talking about, Lord Adam, the former Sword Saint? ”

"That's right, those eyes will soon be drawn to the death penalty of the traitor, the former sword saint Adam Zelard. ”

"What? has it already been decided, didn't you say that things haven't been clarified yet?"

Hearing Crosa's words, Leon stood up excitedly, not only him, but the others also seemed very excited at this time.

Hearing Leon's words, Krosa lowered his head and then spoke.

"The news has been sent, and three days later, the execution will be carried out publicly. ”

At the same time, the streets and alleys of Heilman City were boiling over Adam's affairs.

Especially in front of the notice board in the city, a large number of people gathered.

I saw that the notice board said that the former sword saint Adam Zelard, who was a traitor in the empire, was sentenced to death and executed three days later because of the revelation of the murder of the former brave Jean Melugui, and planned to assassinate a number of royal nobles and His Majesty the King.

"Ilyanne, is this what you're talking about?"

Anson stood in front of the notice board, looked at the contents of the notice board with a murderous expression, clenched his fists and muttered to himself, and then walked towards the Brave Mansion.

When Anson came to the vicinity of the Brave Mansion, Anson found that the atmosphere in the vicinity was unusually weird, and he did not rush into the mansion, but directly took a detour and walked around the neighborhood.

After a while, Anson turned into a small alley, only to see two men with fierce eyes in the alley, these two people saw Anson walk in, they looked at Anson vigilantly, and walked out of the alley one after the other.

Seeing this, Anson didn't speak, and continued to walk towards the alley, and just as Anson passed by the two of them, the Frost Wolf Death instantly appeared in Anson's right hand, and Anson turned around and directly beheaded the person behind him with a sword.

The man in front of him was shocked when he saw this, and just as he wanted to take out his weapon to fight, Anson had already rushed to him, raised his left hand and pinched the man's mouth directly, and put his right hand against his neck with a sword.

"If you move again, I'll kill you. ”

Anson looked at the man as if he were dead, and threatened him in a cold tone.

When the man heard Anson's words, he immediately gave up his resistance and stood there tremblingly, looking at Anson in fear.

"Say, who sent you, and what are you doing here?"

Seeing the man like this, Anson let go of his left hand and asked him.

"We have been hired by Lord Marquis Hester and are here to monitor Lord Brave's movements. ”

"Hester?Marquis Hester Oberdeen?"

"Yes, yes, it's the Marquis of Hester. ”

"Why spy on the brave?"

"Lord Marquis said that the brave Morpheus and his team members have the possibility of rebellion, so they asked us to come here to monitor. ”

"Mutiny?"

"Yes, Lord Marquis said that he has letters exchanged between the Brave Lord and the Empire, and they were also involved in the premeditated assassination of the previous generation of Sword Saints, but they were not present when the previous generation of Sword Masters were captured. ”

"Then why didn't Hester deliver the letter directly to the king?"

"The Marquis said that he was afraid that the letters were forged by the Empire and used to frame the Brave, and that the letters were genuine, but Lord Krosa was also involved, hoping to find some more and more sufficient evidence before reporting to His Majesty, so he arranged for two groups of people, one to monitor this place and the other to monitor Lord Krossa. ”

Burst.

As soon as the man's words fell, he was in a different place in an instant, and then Anson destroyed the corpses of the two with magic and left the alley.

Late at night, Anson sneaked into the Brave Mansion, and as soon as he entered the hall of the mansion, he was directly surrounded by the Morpheus Five.

"Anson?"
