The streets were silent, lit up by sporadic street lamps, and while Fraser didn't need the lights to find the right way, there were some lights that always made people feel better. As the cold wind blew, Fraser tightened his collar, his thick leather coat and flannel lining were not enough to protect against the night's cold wind, but more and thicker clothing only made it difficult to move.

Fraser stopped in front of the gate of the mayor's house, it was pitch black all around, the first and second floors of the house were brightly lit, and every light was still not enough, on the contrary, from the third floor to the fifth floor, not a single light was turned on, and from a distance it seemed that the house was only two floors. The whole house looked very strange like a bright beacon in the surrounding darkness.

"Are you the mercenary during the day?" a voice broke the silence, and the sudden appearance of a voice in the middle of the night was too much of a test of courage.

However, Fraser's mood did not fluctuate, and he looked at Bagley, who was peering out from the iron door. "You're still here at night, and there's no one to change shifts?"

"Shift change, don't be kidding, you can find someone to guard with me, even if you're very good. Bagley pretended to be relaxed, but his hand never left his weapon.

Fraser laughed. "You are so bold, different from ordinary people, do you have any unique skills?"

"I don't have any special skills, it's just that the mayor of the town has a lot of money, and people die for money, you should understand. Bargre laughed.

"What's the use of more money if your life is gone, aren't you afraid of something terrible in the dark?" Frazier inquired.

Bargre looked at Fraser with a puzzled expression. "Erica is locked in a cage on the fifth floor, what else is there to be horrible?"

"How could a little girl mutate on her own to turn Erica into something like that?" Fraser shrugged.

"Don't scare me, I still want to make more money so I can go home and marry a wife. Bagley whispered.

Fraser waved his hand. "Okay, let's not talk about that, how can you solve the problem of staying here to eat all the time? In the afternoon, I heard Tarridge say that someone will bring you food, what is her name?"

"Jona, she's a good girl, and of course she's a bold girl, and now she's the only maid left here, and she's taking care of the cooking, laundry, and everything. ”

"It's rare for a girl to be as bold as her, how old is she, and her parents wouldn't stop her from coming to such a dangerous place to work as a servant?" asked Fraser, seemingly casually.

Bagley stuttered a little. "Oh...... I don't know her age, but I've never heard her talk about her parents, probably both of them died, you know, so many people died in the Darktide War, and it was very likely that her parents died at that time. ”

"Well, you have a point. Fraser saw Bargre exhale. "Well, you don't forget your own age, and I'm curious that you look young, but you have unusual guts. ”

"I ...... I'm twenty-one. Bagley replied hesitantly, and then quickly diverted the subject. "I said you wouldn't be going to talk until dawn, that would be fine, and I wouldn't be too scared to have someone with me. ”

"I have to go. Fraser turned and walked away. "Be careful yourself. ”

"Hey, why did you just leave, you're a ...... man," Bargre looked at Fraser's back, his eyes sharpened.

Fraser walked past a row of abandoned houses, walked into a small path, went around to the back door of the mayor's house, and after observing for a few seconds, looked at a window in the leftmost corner of the first floor, the corners of his mouth slightly curled. "It's really a day off, and the perseverance is commendable. ”

Early the next morning, Fraser came to the gate again, patted on the iron door, and waited for several minutes before Bargre came sleepily. "Hell, I didn't sleep long. ”

"The early bird gets the worm. Fraser didn't say much, but when Bargret opened the door and went inside, he noticed a tent set up in the corner against the wall, where Bagre must have slept.

"Go in on your own, they all know you anyway. Bagley said, walking toward his tent with a yawn.

In Ander's room, Fraser made a slight correction of what he had heard. "Is there anything else you are hiding? Mr. Mayor, I have reason to believe that the deaths of the mercenaries and witchers had something to do with your concealment. ”

"It's gone, it's really gone, you know what I didn't say. Andel was busy wiping his sweat. "I swear I really have nothing to hide. ”

"Very well, then let me ask you two more questions. Fraser leaned against the window and clasped his hands together. "How old is Jona, and which room does she live in?"

Ander was stunned, obviously puzzled by Fraser's question. "You're not interested in her, she's just a servant, if you're interested, I'll give her to you right away, as long as you help me solve this trouble, turn Erica back, just a servant, whatever you want, you want ten. ”

"Don't talk about this uselessness, answer my question!" Frazier was unhappy with Ander's answer.

Andel shuddered at the tone in Fraser's eyes. "I don't know about that, so I'd like to ask Tarridge to answer you. ”

Tarridge stood silent before replying. "I think she was sixteen, and her room was on the far left on the first floor. ”

Fraser nodded. "When did she come, and that Bagley at the door, they still have a lot of guts, the servants here are all gone, and they dare to stay here. ”

Tarrich thought for a moment before replying, "Bagley came first, probably a year and a half ago, and Joanna was two or three months behind him, and I can't remember how many nights it was. They really helped us a lot and have persevered until now. ”

"I understand. Fraser glanced out the window and turned to walk towards the door. "I have one more thing to confirm, I'll come back tomorrow this time. ”

Andel was annoyed by Fraser's way of talking, but because of his strength and not being able to get angry with him, he shouted at him, "I said, can you tell me everything you have heard now, so that I can understand what is going on?"

"Do you understand how you feel about others now? Enjoy it, and if you're lucky, you'll find out tomorrow. Fraser didn't stop, and the bodyguards at the door didn't dare to stop him, so he walked out, so angry that Andel stomped his feet.
