Chapter 15: Chaos
When Aldrich walked out of the dark alley with the suspected thief in his hand, it may have been a terrible scar on his half of his armor, which made the well-wishers who were originally watching the excitement rush to dodge, and several elderly middle-aged people stumbled and even stumbled to the ground, and then fled with rolling and crawling.
The blood stains left at the corners of his mouth emitted a strong fishy smell, and Shadow Hand Musk's consciousness quietly woke up, but his body was sore, soft and weak, and he couldn't move at all, his feet dragged on the ground, making a very rhythmic sound of "hiss, hiss, and hiss", and then this veteran thief with a thin reputation in the dark world was thrown to the ground heavily, and his chest hit the stone and he couldn't breathe.
"Haven't the people from the infirmary arrived yet? Spraying powder on this damn wound won't work, sooner or later the wounded will bleed to death. Captain Rufer Vest pressed his hands on the victim's wound, but red blood continued to ooze from between his fingers.
"Many people on the road have blocked their carriages two blocks away, and now the people from the medical center are running to get there. "The Night Watchmen of the same squad are also veteran Nightwatchmen and know what to do in this situation.
"When did Lord Sir, who gave up his carriage and came to save people, became so compassionate?" Sean, are you sure you read that right?"
"I told them that the injured were senior members of the Merchants' Federation, and their slow hands and feet immediately became swift. Hehe! He has a higher status than them, and he is a rich man, and he is not afraid that the people in the hospital will not do their best. ”
"What? You lie in front of these Lord Jazzes, and if the lie is exposed, if it is not you, even our Night Watchmen will be planted in it, and they will definitely stab us in the town hall. It's over, and next month's budget will be cut again. What are you laughing at, but you do something bad and pretend that you have nothing to do with you, how can it be reasonable. Rufu West was a little annoyed, and his senior Night Watchman didn't take him as a captain at all, not once or twice.
"Dear Captain West, if my memory is not in trouble, the identity of the wounded man lying on the ground is really a member of the Merchants' Federation, and it is said that he took the position of a certain high-ranking person not long ago, and now he is a big man. ”
"Hey! This kind of person should travel with an escort, and there are even high-ranking mercenaries hired by the Merchants' Federation to hide in the shadows to guard, how can this happen, it's ridiculous. "Rufer West suddenly remembered something about the possibility that the merchants' association, which is said to be in charge of the Workshop District, is a harmonious mess on the surface, but there is a lot of strife on the inside, and yesterday you took someone's place, and the assassin who may be revenge has been waiting for a long time.
Sein was reminded, and thought to the worst: "Captain, we'd better not get involved, the water is too deep." Mixing in it will not do us any good, only harm. ”
"But this man is still saved, and his duty is to do his best to get this salary. ”
At this time, Aldrich arrived at the scene and just threw the murderer on the ground, and was touched by these words: "Let me try, after all, I have practiced the knightly technique of the moonlight body system." ”
Captain West was alerted by Trys's words, and he immediately leaned sideways to give up his position, and Aldrich's real vision saw the scarlet aura of the victim's wound, which, although only a thin layer, continued to prevent the blood from clotting, like being bitten by a leech and injecting toxins, causing the bleeding to continue to flow.
Reaching out and pressing it on the wound, Aldrich suddenly noticed something strange, Aldrich suddenly remembered something: "Wear scaly soft armor, take it off as soon as possible." ”
Captain West was obviously stunned, but he quickly reacted and scolded himself, "No wonder you can't stop the bleeding, it turns out that there is a layer of soft armor." ’
Aldrich and Rufer worked together to untie the inner armor of the victim's coat, and when they saw the shocking wound, Knight Tris stretched out his fingers and tapped them to contract the muscles near the wound with a squeeze of force, pressing down on the blood vessels and reducing blood loss. He then pulled out the short knife pinned to Captain West's belt, and sliced off the blood-soaked powder along with the carrion that had been eroded by the evil bloodthirsty force, and then covered it with the effective hemostatic powder.
The blood finally stopped flowing out, and the two looked at each other and smiled, feeling like they were letting go of the burden on their shoulders.
After a while, the people from the infirmary arrived with soft rope stretchers, and the human wall surrounded by dozens of night watchmen deliberately opened a passage, but when they arrived at the scene, they found that there was no longer their business.
The leading Sir Vidocq first pushed Aldrich and Rufer away, and pretended to take out the high-grade bandages with a smoky smell from the medicine box he carried with him, wrapped the high-ranking members of the respected merchants' association, and then beckoned two attendants to carefully carry him to the soft rope stretcher, and slowly transferred him to the white carriage of the infirmary that broke through the crowd and the human wall, fearing that the slight bump would affect the wound or even the injured person, all the movements were so light and gentle in the process.
"Do you need my help? In order to stop the bleeding, the muscles near the wound are stiffened by my knight's skills, and it will be difficult to heal without unraveling them. ”
Captain West regretted that he should have dragged this newly recruited knight with the sword away as soon as possible, and now he has caused trouble again.
However, the leading Ser Vidocq scoffed at this, sneered and ignored the Night Watchman's kindness, and ordered the coachman to return to the infirmary immediately.
Seeing the white carriage leaving, Rufer West breathed a sigh of relief: "Tris, don't make any trouble, it's enough for the injured to be handed over to the infirmary, whether it is life or death, it has nothing to do with us, in short, we can spend the night peacefully and usher in the morning light tomorrow, and we can fall asleep." ”
"I still remember the original knightly oath, it is our vocation to help the needy and help those in need, and it is not my creed to say that it is not my creed to die or not to save them. Human beings are actually very fragile, and if the blooming flower of life withers in front of my eyes, I cannot ignore it. ”
"Compassion is a virtue! But is your compassion overflowing? "Did you know that the members of the Merchants' Federation are all big businessmen of the Workshop and Guilds, and every gold oma in their purse is stained with the blood and sweat of poor employees? ”
Aldrich Triss thought carefully and shook his head slightly: "That's not a reason! If I don't save him, my conscience will be troubled. You say that he is a merchant who exploits the blood and sweat of the employed, is it because of this status that saving him would be contrary to chivalric virtue?"
West's face was expressionless, but there was a little joy in his heart, "I finally got a glimpse of your temper and personality, it seems that you are really a traditional knight, and you don't know how to change if you stick to old-fashioned virtues." ’
The accident was very rewarding, and he immediately changed the subject, and his eyes moved to the thin man who had fallen to the ground, and his hands were tightly wrapped in his cloak.
"He's the thief who stole the wallet? If it hadn't been for the soft armor, the knife would have sent the victim back to his ancestral home. ”
Aldrich nodded lightly: "That's right, it's this person, it's not simple, it must be a big deal." The beast that walks in the dark world has the power to damage and even knock down my minions, and if he hadn't been careless, he might have killed me. ”
"What, just a thief!
Knight Tris unfastened his half-armor, revealing the scars left by the shadow power on his chest and back: "He is no ordinary thief, but an assassin who uses his identity to disguise his identity. Ahem!"
Aldrich felt a fishy sweetness in his throat, and quickly reached out to cover his mouth, but the purple blood still spilled down his fingers.
"Wounds of this color...... Damn, the Shattered Mask is moving again. It's only been ten years, and they're back in the dust, and this kind of thing must be reported to the Dark Police Department immediately, and the Night Knights should be dispatched. Captain West looked at the rookie who covered his mouth and didn't speak, "I'm so badly injured and still trying to save people, this hopeless fool." ’
However, his opinion of Aldrich has completely changed, and he no longer treats him with the attitude of greeting newcomers, and has put him in a position of leveling, "Maybe he is really a good deputy!" ’
The Merchants' Federation, the Broken Mask, the Dark Police Department, the Infirmary, the City Hall, the Merchants, the Assassins, the Night Knights, the Jazz, the Guiqus, a case involves all kinds of forces, intricately and entangled with each other, it is simply a mess.
With Rufer West's cautious personality, he didn't want to pay much attention to this kind of, and just threw people to the Secret Police Department, and it was the best choice to clap his hands and leave.
The injured left the scene, and the people who watched the excitement in the vicinity gradually dispersed, except for a few young people who had been bumped into each other, or who pushed each other to maintain order while building a human wall to maintain order, and they roamed the streets with nothing to do.
Rufu West was very dissatisfied, there were still people in the vicinity who had not dispersed, waiting to see the jokes of the Night Watchman, and he immediately put down his face: "The victim is the top of the Merchants' Federation, you obstruct the carriage of the medical center, if you delay the time for treatment, you will have to go to court and stand in the dock." Weigh it, don't talk about yourself, even the family behind you can't support this responsibility, so don't leave quickly. ”
Those young people are not stupid, they can hear the taste inside, their thin arms and short legs, they really can't bear the heavy responsibility, and they suddenly feel like they are gone, just for the sake of face, scolding and scolding in their mouths, they really don't even look back and run away, and their steps are hurried and a little embarrassed.
"From now on, you are the wounded who have just left the front line to hunt down the murderer, lying down and waiting for the people from the Dark Police Department to come and deal with the people, and then it will be none of our night patrol knights. As soon as Captain West spoke, Aldridge squatted on the ground as if he was exhausted, "It's really like acting! ’
"Ahem...... Ahem!" Knight Tris found that the shadow power in his body was like maggots attached to his bones, and he couldn't cope with it at all.
'Breathe!' I have to breathe rhythmically. ’
