Chapter 156: Secrecy

Garfield Tarrant looked at the man again, the strong warrior and fearless mercenary that Captain Ryan spoke of was the drunken and unsparkling adventurer, and the two figures had no resemblance, he shook his head and confirmed, "It's Adrian's captain, Garfield?"

Mark sighed regretfully, "That's right, it's him", he turned around and saw a strange girl at the table, "Hey, aren't you going to introduce me to this beautiful mage?" he smiled and said to Katrina, "It's a pity that you didn't come with him last time and missed the opportunity to visit their lair." 【Shrimp Literature Enxue.]"

"No......" Mark treats her as a ...... These things have passed, and Tarrant doesn't need to explain it, he introduced: "This is Katrina, the mage of the Academy, Captain Mark, and the sheriff of Watt Town. ”

"Nice to meet you," Mark said, squeezing his eyes, "if I had known that there was such a beautiful lady at the Institute, I would have studied magic." ”

"I'm honored too," Katrina said with a smile as she paused.

"Mark, what happened to Garfield?" Tarrant pulled the topic back, "How did he go missing, did Adrian find him?"

"That thing...... Mark thought down, his fingers tapping on the table, "there is some connection between this matter and your investigation." ”

"My Investigation?...... Spirit-sucking monsters?!"

Mark leaned in to Tarrant, "Yes, this matter is kept strictly confidential, and my boss forbids anyone to talk about it. ”

"That'...... None of the townspeople know?" Tarrant was a little strange, such a life-threatening matter should be known to the townspeople around him.

"Shhhh ”

"What?" Tarrant heard two pieces of information, first, that Garfield had indeed fallen into the hands of the psionic monster, and second, that his hand was gone. 【Shrimp Literature Enxue.】

Mark said in surprise, "Didn't you notice? His right hand was cut off." ”

Tarrant looked over, and Garfield sat sideways at the table blocking the position of his right hand, "Chopped?"

"The Psiva manipulates him, and we ...... No, that's all I can say, the order above is not a word, sorry", Mark smiled and said, "Katrina, your work at the institute must be interesting, right?"

"It's okay", Catrina cut out a small piece, "flip the book, dispense the medicine, and do the real yΓ n." ”

"Ah, that sounds ...... It's funny," Mark said, taking a small step toward the mage.

Tarrant cut the rest of the steak in half, and swallowed one of the pieces with the sauce, Garfield must have been kept as a puppet in the lair of Watt Town, the royal guards accidentally injured him when attacking the lair, according to Ryan's description, Garfield's speed and strength are very good, presumably his opponent is the royal elite, but why this matter has to be kept strictly secret, the nest of the Sucking Monster has been completely cleaned up, this is a great thing, the residents of Watt Town and Naian Town can get out of the shadow of the Sucking Monster, it is incomprehensible.

Mark pestered Catrina to talk about some research institute topics, boring content, and Tarrant interrupted: "Mark, I don't understand, why keep it strictly secret?"

The steak was served in front of Mark, and he picked up the knife and fork, "Because...... That's the order from above, is the lunch at the institute also a steak?"

The above should refer to the people at the top of the military's power, who have been keeping a low-key, fast, and closed approach since they took over the Psionic Monster incident, and the Light of Shelter is ignorant of their progress, at first Tarrant speculated that the military was taking over for the safety of the people, but the current silence proves that it is not the real reason, the whole thing is strange, Tarrant swallows the last tender piece of meat, "Garfield is not as good as an ordinary person now." ”

"Well," Mark replied, "he lost the courage to live, and it was completely understandable, his teammates died, he could no longer hold a sword, his experience became a story, he was completely retired, and even a maid looked down on him...... However, he was lucky to be alive. ”

"The Psicouck didn't make him an idiot. ”

"No," Mark stole a glance at Garfield, "the knife went down his left shoulder, and he used it to block it, and as a result, the knife cut off his sword and hand, leaving him with a scar on his chest that ran from shoulder to chest, and if it weren't for his strong physique, he would have died." ”

It was a frontal block with strong penetration, not only did it require a lot of strength from that person, but the weapon had to be of the highest level, and Tarrant could imagine a terrible battle in the lair, "His opponent was terrifying. ”

"Hehe", Mark smiled helplessly, "his opponent is my boss." ”

"Warren?!" Tarrant was surprised, the closest boss to Mark was the Sheriff of Nyan.

"You know him? Then you must have an impression of his katana? It's a fury from hell, no, the lord of hell is also afraid, I've never seen the earth spirits beaten so badly, they are like stakes, I have no doubt about the honor that his legendary warrior badge represents!"

Tarrant vaguely remembered that it seemed to be a six-star weapon, the night in Tinvort Mountain, Warren's bright flame in his hand broke into the army of dark elves alone, broke through layers of defenses and killed the master mother of the first family of dark elves, his abilities and equipment could not find a few opponents even if they were expanded to the range of red stone, poor Garfield, Tarrant asked again: "Is Warren personally leading the team?"

"Of course, his qualifications ......" Mark suddenly stopped, "I'm sorry, I can't say any more, the whole thing shouldn't be mentioned outside, I'm talking too much", he looked at Tarrant in embarrassment.

"Sorry, I'm asking too much, I won't leak half a sentence", Tarrant understands Warren's temper, which will make Mark miserable.

Katrina hurriedly followed: "I promise it too." ”

"Thank you", Mark, letting out a sigh of relief, motioned for the waitress to come over, "two glasses of Roundney, one cup of red leaves." ”

"No," Tarrant politely refused, "we'll have to go soon." ”

"What about a beer, are you always so busy?" said Mark, turning to Katrina, as if to ask Tarrant.

Tarrant pushed the plate away, "I heard you're busy this time too. ”

Mark came back to his senses, "...... are you talking about?"

"Homicide. ”

"Alas......" Mark sighed again, his haggard and depressed face was enough to see that this incident had broken his brain, "no clue." ”

"Have you looked for those boys?"

"They're just kids, and they're not even going to the farm, so they wouldn't do anything like that," Mark's eyebrows condensed, "The murderer was a very calm person, and no footprints or anything else were found at the scene, so maybe it had been planned for a long time." ”

"What about the investigation of people from other towns?"

"Didn't find anything suspicious, there were a few strangers in the town, but it was very regular. ”

It's a tricky case, Mark has to be busy for a while, Tarrant took out a gold coin and threw it in front of the waiter at the counter, "This one, the rest is reserved for the adventurer." ”

Katrina wiped her mouth, "It's time to go, right?"

Tarrant looked at Mark's glass, smiling.

"Alright, alright, no problem", Mark understood very wisely, and poured the whole glass of beer down with his neck back, "The warhorses of Watttown are as good as those of Nai'an Town, come with me", he got up and walked out, "Garfield, let's talk another day!"

The drunk man barely lifted his face, "Goodbye......" he stammered, saliva and wine foaming all over the place, "Goodbye...... Casper. ”
