Chapter 24: Arrest

The city of Huang Yan, which has always been proud of the security situation in the European Empire, seems to be quite unquiet lately, and the sheriffs' originally stable rest days have been cancelled in a vague way, and patrolling and searching everywhere every day has almost turned the entire city upside down.

"I met a girl in the bar the day before yesterday, I promise it's definitely better than any of the ones you see, it took me ten silver coins to hook up, ten silver coins, man. But he. Mother. I finally got to the bedside, and before I could fire a real gun, I heard a whistle blowing in the city lord's mansion, and then I was thrown to patrol the place where the bird doesn't......"

The tall and muscular cavalryman chattered and talked to the young companion he had just met, but the attitude of the other party was very cold, and he obviously did not have much interest in such a topic, but only looked to the side from time to time, catching everything that could be seen and heard.

The moonlight dimmed imperceptibly. The tall cavalry felt the cold around him, and his body couldn't help but shrink a little, and he cursed in a low voice to let him leave Gentle Township and come here for the eighteenth generation of the city lord's ancestors. When he turned his head, he found that his companion was looking at him coldly, and the opponent's hand was already pressed on the hilt of the long sword.

The tall knight, who had just been carried away by resentment, suddenly felt a little frightened. He thought of a legend that circulated among the magistrates of Huang Yan City: in order to train his son, the lord of the city would often let him go on certain tasks. Could it be that he is so unlucky today, and this guy he accidentally ran into on patrol is the protagonist of the legend?

Just as he was trying to find another topic to ease the awkward atmosphere, two women suddenly ran from the shadows in front of him. Although the light was dim, when the other party approached, the tall knight could clearly see the other party's exposed skin and perfect body, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

But what he heard next made him stunned.

"Over there...... Someone kills! ”

Homicide......

When the knights, led by the two girls, came to the front of the strange courtyard, they found two men in black dresses lying in front of the door. The younger knight dismounted and looked around, only to find the marks of sharp blades on the necks of the two men, judging by the temperature of the corpses, they should not have been dead for long.

"Your Excellency...... The murderer ran into here, and we all saw ......"

The tall knight, who had managed to take his eyes off the two girls, dismounted without saying a word, and tried to break through the door, but his movement was blocked by the young knight.

"Don't go in just yet. Go and inform the lord of the castle and ask him to send someone. ”

Ordered by this companion who seemed to be lower than himself, and in front of the two girls, the tall knight suddenly looked angry, as if he had been smacked in the mouth. The latter did not say anything, except to show the badge representing status on his chest.

Illuminated by a horse lantern, this badge carved with a horse looks extremely eye-catching.

"Yes, sir."

The tall knight hurriedly mounted his horse, turned his horse's head, kicked the horse's belly and ran away. With palpitations, he wiped a handful of sweat stains on his forehead and secretly scolded that today was really an unlucky day. If the other party told his father what he had just said, it was estimated that his peach blossom luck in Huangyan City would come to an end with the loss of his status.

Before dozens of elite soldiers arrived with the lord of the castle, the young knight went to a corner of the outer wall and whispered to the two seductive-looking girls what had happened.

According to themselves, the two were the slaves of the master in the building. In the middle of the night, a knock was heard on the door, and the valets went out to check on the situation, but they were brutally killed, and the murderer then broke into the house. They ran out while each other wasn't looking.

"How many murderers are there?"

"Two women, one fat and one thin."

"Women?"

The young knight thought it was incredible. The long sword that had been drawn out to prevent accidents was put back into its scabbard by him. In his eyes, there is no need to be so nervous about dealing with women, now he just needs to stay here and wait quietly for the rescuers to arrive.

"My lord, our master is still inside, and he is in danger now!" The maids said hurriedly.

"Wait."

The young knight's tone was unmistakable, even when he saw the anxious looks of the two maids next to him. He looked up at the small, boxy and featureless building in front of him, and vaguely noticed that a cloud of black mist was emerging from the roof, but it was soon disappearing again; I listened to the movement inside with bated breath, but also found nothing.

This time, the security team, which had been bloated and had complicated procedures, moved surprisingly quickly. At the front of the entire procession, the lord of the castle, dressed in full armor, looked majestic in the light of lanterns and torches. Wearing such a military uniform in an era when there was no war shows that he attaches great importance to the characters in it.

Without even glancing at the young knight next to him, the city lord directly ordered the security team on the side: "Knock the door open for me!" ”

At this time, although the young knight's face did not show any expression, there was a faint pleasure in his heart. The words of his father, who was the lord of the city, did not seem to him to be worthy of approval. Since you are not allowed to enter this house casually, it is better not to go inside.

The gate of the courtyard was not locked, and the security team entered directly. Numerous torches illuminated the entire courtyard as if it were daylight, and withered flowers and trees, dilapidated steps, and mottled walls were displayed in front of everyone one by one.

Just as they were about to enter the small building, a fire suddenly flickered in the shadows behind the entrance.

Then, a slender girl came out with another extremely strong girl, who was trembling all over, and in her arms was holding a kitten that was glowing softly.

At that moment, the men in the courtyard who had just behaved as brave as jackals and beasts suddenly felt that they had no idea what to do, and in their eyes, the scene in front of them was inevitably too soft, completely different from the hideous-looking murderer they imagined.

"Fence it off!"

The city lord shouted loudly from behind, and the sheriffs finally woke up as if they had just woken up from a dream, and they all drew their long swords one after another, and quickly formed an encirclement in front of the two girls.

The young knight, who had been watching from behind, suddenly couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth when he saw such a scene. Regardless of whether they killed them or not, it was too ridiculous for so many sheriffs to put on such a big position in front of two weak and defenseless girls.

And when he looked at Anne's face, he couldn't help but feel slightly surprised by such a beautiful face.

"Arrest them and take them back to the City Lord's Mansion for interrogation!"

When the people heard this command, they immediately rushed forward like wolves seeing meat. They have done a lot of this kind of thing, but this is the first time that a female murderer has encountered it. Besides, the two of them didn't look like a threat, and one was pretty good-looking, and these male sheriffs were certainly happy to take the lead.

"Whew!"

Before they could touch the fingers of the two men, a deafening roar suddenly came from the shadows behind.
