Xiao Yi, who ate delicious roast chicken as he wished in the village of Cride, didn't know that Edric, who was left behind in the City of Angels, was about to go crazy at this time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Unlike Xiao Yi, who likes to postpone less urgent things until the next day, Edric will deal with the day's affairs every day, just like now, he picked up the garrison's report as he did a few days ago.

At present, there is no longer any threat around the City of Angels, and with the execution of the gnolls in the city, the security of the City of Angels is very good. Even if there is no situation where the road is not left behind, under the 24-hour uninterrupted patrol of the garrison, no one dares to challenge Xiao Yi's authority.

Now the most serious criminal in the City of Angels Prison is a businessman who broke someone's nose while getting drunk and fighting in the tavern two days ago, so Xiao Yi hasn't read the work report of the garrison officer for a long time.

After all, there are major incidents that are reminded by the housekeeper, and petty thieves don't want him to deal with them personally.

But Edric took this matter very seriously, and as usual, there was nothing too much of a problem with the City of Angels. But the last one caught his attention: a resident had been attacked by a gnolls and died!

Edric held the parchment suspiciously, although he had not been in the City of Angels for a short time, he was no stranger to the Gnolls, not to mention that the City of Angels was now using a large number of Gnoll slaves for labor, and he had also encountered this creature when he was capturing griffins.

But the problem is that he has seen the order signed by Xiao Yi to execute all the gnoll captives in the City of Angels, and also ordered that there should be no gnolls in the city in the future.

So if that's the case, why are there still incidents of jackals hurting people? After flipping through the order signed by Xiao Yi, Edric frowned, and he instinctively felt that maybe this was not a simple gnolls attack.

"Guards! Please help me get Mr. Barrett here. Having no clue, Edric eventually decided to get someone to help.

Soon, Barrett came to the office under the guidance of the guards, and the old man who had just been instructing Alice on dining etiquette was a little puzzled why Edric would find him so late.

"Dear General Edric, I wonder what you are looking for me?" Although he didn't know why the young lady's temporary teacher gave her a beautiful dagger when he first met her, Barrett still saluted politely.

"Mr. Barrett, please take a look at this document." Edric did not answer his words, but handed him the bill for the execution of the jackals signed by Xiao Yi.

Barrett took a quick look at it, very puzzled, he knew about it, and very much agreed with the bill. Just as he was about to ask a question, Edric handed him the report of the Garrison for the day.

This time, Barrett's face became serious, and he picked up the bill promulgated by Xiao Yi and looked at the time, which said March 8 of the holy calendar. The garrison's report is a document of the 26th day of the fifth month of the holy calendar, which is this morning. (The time set by Xiao Yi is the first day of January)

After thinking for a while, Barrett said uncertainly: "Maybe there is a fish that has slipped through the net?" What you may not know is that some residents store smelly food in their cellars, and it is possible that they are interfering with the search for the dire wolf. ”

"I don't think it's that big!" Edric said firmly: "Even if there is a gnolll who escapes the hunt of the dire wolf, how did it survive in these two months? And it doesn't seem to have continued to commit crimes during these two months. ”

Barrett frowned and did not speak, and a waiter poured him hot tea, but he didn't seem to see it.

Seeing that Barrett did not speak, Edric continued: "I looked through the recent documents and no one else reported the theft, except for a limited five thefts. ”

"Of the five thefts, three were lost coins and two were cattle thieves, and both caught the culprits. So I'm curious how this gnoll survives? ”

Barrett's brows furrowed even tighter, after all, a resident died, even in troubled times, people did not dig deeper, and accepted the theory of the attack of the jackals, but they always had to give the dead an explanation.

"What do you mean?" Barrett asked.

"I need your cooperation, after all, I don't have as much experience as you," Edric said. He waved his hand: "I took a look, there were a lot of people who were attacked by jackals at first, I need to find them to understand the situation, I think, the perpetrators are not jackals!" ”

"Thank you for the compliment." Barre nodded and smiled, and said gracefully, "It's not getting early now, let the guards send a message to these attackers first, and then summon them tomorrow." ”

Edric nodded, rubbed his sore neck from sitting for a long time, and changed the subject: "How's Miss Alice's magic lesson?" ”

---------------------------

Because of the opening of the trade routes, a large number of merchants poured into the City of Angels, making the economy of the City of Angels better day by day, and the residents here no longer have to rely on their work in exchange for food, in addition to their own work, they will also make some food or handicrafts to sell on the street.

Even people with stupid minds can easily get hired by foreign businessmen under the interference of the commercial trade law formulated by Xiao Yi. The division of labor system has long since been abolished, and increasingly affluent people have stored large quantities of smoked sausages and air-dried meat at home.

Most of these are made by the residents themselves, but everyone knows that only the smoked sausages at Jack's Dry Goods Store on Bucks Street are the best!

It is said that the meat and casings used by his family were collected from wild boars unique to the twilight forest! And the owner of this shop has also been in the dry goods business for generations, and even when he was lucky, someone bought air-dried seashells here!

Old Jack breathed a sigh of relief when the last guest had been sent off, and he quickly beckoned his men to close the door of the shop, and after instructing the men on the night watchman to take care of the fire, he took the ledger and went upstairs as usual.

The guy scratched his head strangely, not understanding why his boss had to buy some bloody offal by himself every day, although the boss said that he was going to develop a new 'delicious visceral blood sausage', but he never saw success.

Soon, though, the guy put the matter behind him and took out the bedding to make his own bed. Mom said that as long as you listen to your boss, you can do it.

Old Jack carried a large bag of bloody entrails, and instead of returning to the house to settle the account as usual, he went to his daughter's room.

There was no light here, and in the moonlight that poured in through the window, he vaguely saw a huge wolf-like creature in a skirt hiding in a corner.

Perhaps it heard movement, or maybe it smelled blood, the creature looked up and stood up.

"Whoa!" This wolf-like creature actually stood up! Its skirt had been stretched to pieces, leaking black fur, and a little moonlight sprinkled on it, reflecting a silver halo.

Old Jack sighed and threw the package in his hand at it, muttering in a lost whisper, "Eat, eat, and when you're full, you don't have to go out and hurt the others, my poor little Ella." ”
