Chapter 54: Akua is incurable

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps in the passage behind him, and a group of soldiers ran out of the passage, and Jade embarrassedly hid the knife in his hand behind him, and said:

[Haha...... This statue is well made. 】

[Don't move, all put down your weapons!] 】

The soldiers ignored the jadeite, but raised the weapons in their hands and surrounded Liu Xianyu and the others.

Don't be excited, we are adventurers hired by your commander. 】

Liu Xianyu threw down the weapon in his hand and said to the soldiers.

At this time, the captain came out from behind the soldiers, first glanced at the corpses on the ground, and then squinted at the jade and said:

[I spent a silver coin to hire you to help my soldiers find their way, and nothing happened to you and they all died? 】

[This...... Listen to me, it's a long story. 】

Jade stretched out her hand and shook it quickly, and the captain saw the sword in her hand, and his eyes instantly became sharp.

[You'd better explain the weapons in your hands and the wounds on their bodies, otherwise you'll only be in jail!] 】

Apparently the captain had already examined the corpses in the front hall when he came down.

[Ah...... This weapon belongs to their murderers, not mine! 】

Jade hurriedly dropped the knife in her hand and explained in a panic.

[And what about the murderer?] 】

Facing the position of captain of the guard, Jade hurriedly turned her head and pointed at the skeleton on the ground, and suddenly her face froze, because she suddenly remembered that the man only had a pile of bones left.

[I said that this is a murderer, you won't believe it, right...... But really, you can ask my companions, they are all my best friends and they certainly won't lie! 】

Jade suddenly pointed at Liu Xianyu and said loudly.

【……】

(I usually call you stupid, Jade really didn't wronged you!) You've said that, how could this guy still come to ask us! )

Liu Xianyu grabbed his throat, because he felt that if he didn't do this, he would start to complain about Jade in the next second.

[You say the skeleton is the murderer?] 】

On the other side, Ikatris and Tachibana nodded in unison.

The captain's eyes became more and more unkind.

[This skeletal frame doesn't use that kind of weapon.] 】

Jade looked at the captain's unkind eyes and immediately spoke:

[Really, this guy was powerful when he was alive, so ......]

Jade said for fear that the captain would not believe it, and picked up the knife thrown on the ground and made a few strokes.

[This is ...... And this...... Huh? Why are you looking at me like that? 】

Jade suddenly stopped the movements in her hand and looked at Liu Xianyu and the three people on the side strangely.

(No, it's about to suffocate!) It turns out that the sentence is true, there is really such a thing as a suffocating operation. )

Liu Xianyu smiled kindly at Jade.

[What are you doing, you're laughing disgustingly.] 】

Jade said to Liu Xianyu with disgust.

Liu Xianyu did not refute her, but said gently:

[Don't worry, I will rescue you as soon as possible.] 】

【?? What do you say? 】

Jade looked at Liu Xianyu strangely.

[Arrest her for me!] 】

The captain waved his hand lightly, and Jade was instantly surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers, and she panicked and asked for help from Ikatris and Liu Xianyu but found that the expressions of the two people were very similar at this time.

[What kind of eyes are you two! Tangerine? 】

This is caring for the mentally handicapped, Liu Xianyu and Ikatris said in their hearts at the same time.

Jade shouted and was taken away by a group of soldiers, after all, she had no ability to resist.

[Don't, don't go to jail~ People are still 17 years old, so don't spend your life in prison! ] 】

[Don't worry, you killed my soldier and still want to live through this month? Three people over there, if you can't find any evidence to convince me within ten days, prepare to collect this guy's body! 】

Soon the soldiers and Jade were far away, and there were only three people left in this room, Liu Xianyu.

[What should I do, Cuicui was arrested? ] 】

Tangerine seems to like the nickname of Jade.

[What else can I do, of course, I have to find a way to prove that she is not a murderer. 】

Liu Xianyu sighed.

But how do we prove it? The man's body had become like that. 】

Ikatrius said with a sad face as she looked at the skeleton on the ground.

[Partner, I have a good idea about this. 】

At this time, the almighty system suddenly opened its mouth in Liu Xianyu's mind.

[What's the solution?] 】

[I just repaired a prop here, which is a staff, and this staff can solve the problem you are facing now. The staff has an incidental function called impression projection, which can project memories from the human mind to the outside. 】

[In other words, we can show the captain the process of our battle with the Taidao man?] 】

[That's right, but this additional feature has a requirement for the user, that is, it must be a mage of the occult system.] 】

【…… That means I'm going to find a mystical mage in ten days? 】

[That's right. 】

The system replied.

[By the way, how many points does this staff cost?] 】

[Only 60 Protagonist Points are required.] 】

The system said lightly, but Liu Xianyu was not calm.

[60 points? Why don't you go and rob it! How much do I have now? 】

[61 points.] 】

【……】

(Sure enough, don't save it, right?) )

Although he was full of complaints, Liu Xianyu still opened the exchange interface, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the staff surrounded by the system with a colored aperture, which was an inconspicuous staff like a branch, short like chopsticks, and the top of the staff was wrapped with a translucent sphere.

Void Chant - The wielder of this staff will receive a certain amount of amplification when casting spells, and can cast spells without sound, but will occasionally be disturbed by the power of the void in the orb, affecting normal thinking skills.

(This ordinary branch accidentally entangled the orb from the Void World, and since then its value has doubled.) )

[This staff...... Unexpected fit for the jade guy. 】

[Yes, I thought so when I repaired it at the time, so I fixed it first, anyway, no matter how much it affects her thinking ability, it won't be much worse than now.] 】

Gritting his teeth and exchanging the staff, Liu Xianyu casually found a reason to explain the origin of the staff. He then told Ikatris and Tachibana about the staff's special functions and conditions of use.

[In other words, we are now going to find a mystical mage to rescue the jade?] 】

Ikatris said happily

[Without further ado, let's hurry up!] By the way, before we do that, we have to go to the prison to appease Jade first, lest she do anything stupid! 】

Liu Xianyu put the staff in the well-fed frog and prepared to go.
