Chapter 123: Let Me Send You on Your Way (4/4)

The Countess's assassination, after nearly half a month of fermentation, has reached the point where everyone knows about it in Nilogaard.

To ordinary people, this matter may be just an after-dinner conversation, but to the nobles and wealthy merchants who live in the city of Nilogaard, it is a matter of vital interest.

Nilogaard has always been known for its safety and order, and now a well-known countess has lost her life because of a small wand, which is even more annoying, although the city hall has offered a reward of 5,000 gold dragon coins, but nearly half a month has passed, and it has been delayed to solve the case!

This means that Nilogaard is no longer safe. Most of the nobles and wealthy merchants in the city have quietly increased the number of guards in their mansions.

In this situation where everyone is in danger, the murderer of the countess has become a thorn in the side of all the superiors, and everyone wants to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Because of this, when Master Petain knew that the magician Brown might be the murderer, he became furious. Because Brown's actions were simply roasting the Petain family on the fire.

Soon, the group was once again in front of the queen bed in Wizard Brown's bedroom.

"Doctor Pasteur, where is that moon wand?" Young Master Pétain asked.

Lawson pointed to the cabinet on the right side of the bed: "The cabinet, the bottom layer, open, there is a hidden compartment on the side, just pull the wooden board open." ”

Captain Fairman immediately stepped forward and opened the cabinet according to Rosen's instructions, and half a minute later, he pushed open the wooden board of the hidden compartment, only to hear a 'clatter' and a gorgeous wand fall into the drawer.

The wand is made of ebony wood, with intricate gold and silver threads carved on its surface, and its head is carved into a delicate flower saucer topped by a milky white crystal.

The moment the wand appeared, everyone present gasped.

"Wizard Brown, good! Good! Good! Master Petain gritted his teeth angrily, he never thought that the magician sent by his aunt to protect him would be a murderer!

The thought of him living with a murderer all day long made him feel cold.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it." Fairman looked incredulous, he had been patrolling the city these days, and deep down he had the idea of finding the murderer and getting a bounty, but he also knew that the chances were very slim and almost impossible. Who would have thought that in this murder case that shook the whole city, the murderer would hide in the villa of the Marquis de Pétain's Black Thorns.

"Why did this magician kill Miss Adele?"

"Anyway, this magician is finished."

The guards were also talking.

Rosen stepped forward and took the wand from Fairman's hand, he gripped the handle of the wand tightly, and with a slight force, the milky white crystal on the head of the wand glowed brightly.

He nodded, and said to Pétain, "This wand is indeed exactly like the legend, and it should be the Moon Wand." ”

Petain took a deep breath and said to Fellman: "Captain Fellman, I don't know anything about this. In fact, I've recently gotten seriously ill and feel groggy every day. I had no idea that someone close to me would do such a vicious thing behind my back. ”

Rosen opened his mouth to testify for Betain: "Captain Fairman, Master Pétain is telling the truth. In fact, I was the doctor who came to treat him. ”

Fellman came from a civilian background and had no background, so he naturally did not want to offend the Pétain family. Now that Master Petain was clearly distancing himself from his relationship, and the wand had indeed been found in the magician's room, he would not be uninteresting.

"Master Petain, it's not your fault."

With a look of hatred on his face, Master Pétain continued: "This magician's name is Brown, and he is very arrogant, even to me. Normally, it's okay, but this time, since he committed such a big crime, I have nothing to say. Captain Fairman, he is at your disposal, and his life and death have nothing to do with my Petain family! ”

Fellman nodded hurriedly, and was about to speak, when suddenly a gloomy sneer came from outside the door: "Young Master Petain, it doesn't matter if you're a good one!" ”

Everyone turned their heads together, and saw a middle-aged man in a sky-blue robe appear at the door of the bedroom, his expression was cold, his eyes were gloomy, and there was a white air flow around his body that was spinning rapidly.

"Ah, it's a magician!"

The faces of the patrol guards changed drastically, and the captain of the guards, Fairman, was not much better, although he did not retreat, his face was pale, and although his hand subconsciously held the hilt of the sword, his arm could not control and tremble.

Master Petain's face was also blue, partly angry, but the main reason was fear. He'd never seen Brown like this, and he didn't know what this guy was going to do.

Rosen quietly stepped forward, his right hand gripping the handle of the meat grinder's musket, while his left hand crept into his waist bag and grasped a piece of metal in the bag.

Brown blocked the bedroom door and looked at Pétain coldly: "I have wasted four months for your shit. Now that something is wrong, you just get rid of yourself so decisively, it's really a complete aristocratic style. ”

Young Master Petain gritted his teeth and said, "A trivial matter? The assassination of the countess turned out to be a trifle? So what is the big deal for you to tell me? ”

Brown's expression became more and more cold: "With just a magic wand, you can conclude that I killed someone?" Why don't you suspect the monster hiding in my room? Can't it be the one who framed me? ”

"You ......" Pétain was speechless, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Rosen.

Rosen took half a step forward, his face as indifferent as ever: "Judging from the traces I found, this monster hid in the Black Thorn Villa more than three months ago. And it's not the first time in more than three months that it's come to your room. As a magician, could you please explain why you didn't notice anything unusual for three months? Or did you always know that monsters existed? ”

Brown looked at Rosen, narrowed his eyes, and asked instead of answering: "Doctor Pasteur, didn't you treat Young Master Petain?" How did you get to my room? ”

Pétain took the initiative to explain to Rosen: "Because Dr. Pasteur sensed that there was an evil force in the villa, he searched all the way, but he did not expect to find the terrible devil in your room, and by the way, he also found this blood-stained wand!" ”

"Evil forces? Devil? Haha, ridiculous. Brown stared at Rosen: "Ordinary people don't have the means to deal with the powerful Shadow Fiend, and you, not only defeated it, but also let it escape with serious injuries...... Doctor Pasteur, you're not a doctor, you're a monster hunter, aren't you? ”

Rosen stared at Brown's right hand, and he noticed a faint glow from the ruby on the ring on the middle finger of his right hand. He knew that the ring was Pasteur's magic weapon, and the ruby glow meant that the guy could unleash an incredibly powerful attack magic at any moment.

Brown continued to question.

"Dr. Pasteur, why don't you speak, huh?"

"You guy, you cure diseases with fake medicine, defraud a huge amount of gold dragon coins from the fool of Petain, and even have the idea of offering a reward, you are really more greedy than the devil!"

"And you, Master Petain! I've never seen a fool like you, who has been deceived and turned around, not only spending money on bankruptcy, but also offering people as saviors. You probably don't know it, this Pasteur can't cure you at all! ”

The more Brown spoke, the more agitated he became, but his face became more and more gloomy.

A trace of doubt appeared in Petain's heart, and he looked at Rosen: "Doctor Pasteur, why did he say that?" ”

Rosen's face was endless, and his voice was as hoarse and low as usual: "A person who is about to drown will always drag the people around him into the water desperately. ”

Petain was infected by Rosen's composure, and he thought of the desperate action of protecting himself behind him when dealing with the devil just now, and his judgment was firm in his heart: "Brown, needless to say, confess your guilt!" ”

As he spoke, Petain looked firm, without a hint of hesitation between his eyebrows.

Brown was stunned and sighed: "I know, there is evidence of the Moon Wand, no matter what I say today, you won't believe me, right?" ”

Fairman said cautiously: "Your Excellency the Magician, we are only guards, and we do not have the right to convict, only the judge of the town hall can convict you." However, we did get a wand from you, and you are indeed the most suspicious, so we have to take you back for further investigation. ”

"Ha, go back with you to investigate? You'd love to close the case early. If I go back with you, I will definitely be a scapegoat! Brown sneered.

Fairman forced himself to say, "If you refuse to do this, then you are indirectly admitting that you killed Countess Adele." We will have to use force against you! ”

"Force? Is it just a few scraps of you? Brown burst out laughing.

Fairman's forehead was full of cold sweat, and he gritted his teeth and continued to hold on: "Even if we are not your opponents, you will be wanted by Nilogaard's City Guard, and with a huge bounty of 5,000 gold dragon coins, there will be countless bounty hunters who will hunt you down until you bring your head back to Nilogaard." ”

"Huh, huh?" Brown's face was grim: "Warrior, you're right, but I have a better solution here." ”

"Brown, what do you want to do?!" A hint of unease rose in Petain's heart, and he smelled an ominous smell.

A sinister smile appeared on Brown's face: "I want to kill you all, and then blame the monsters." As for me, I went through a lot of hardships, badly wounded the monster, and snatched the Moon Wand from the monster...... I think I'll be a hero to Nilogaard. ”

Petain was shocked: "You dare! My aunt won't believe you! ”

"Your aunt? Your aunt has been burning her ass lately, and she's busy putting out fires everywhere, but she doesn't have time to pay attention to you, a dying waste, you die a day sooner or a day later, she doesn't care at all! Okay, no nonsense, guys, let me get you on your way. ”
