The Forty-Fifth World War Deception
"The boy who came with this black horse?hissβno, no, no, this black horse came by himself, and when he first came, it really startled us, and the tail behind him was actually on fire! β
Looks like Albert isn't here...... Avino thought to himself, and at the same time found a contradiction.
"It's strange, you ...... Aren't you taking refuge?Why did you run out to help when there was movement outside the house?I didn't see you so enthusiastic when I first came to this town?" Averno's casual question made the old man stay for a moment.
"Ah, haha, that's right. Although we hide in the house, the window will still open a crack to observe the situation outside. We were afraid that the horse's burning tail would ignite something else in our village, and that there was nothing suspicious nearby, so we opened the door to help. β
"Really, but I don't think this house can fit the height of a horse, and where do you take care of Zemel?"
The old lady just now replied to him without hesitation: "In the stables at the back of this house, our house is a little special, the stables are indoors, and they are connected to this house. There was another door that could go out of the stable, and it was there that we examined the horse's wounds. If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself, the medicine is there. Draw the curtains and turn on the lights!"
The lights were turned on, and Avino looked into the back room, and easily saw the stable, where there were indeed rolls of bandages and disinfectant medicines neatly arranged, and the stables were neat, even the licorice was well placed.
"So it's called Zemel, what a nice name......" The old man rubbed his palms, looking nervous.
"Well, it was our Chief Diane Andorra who took it for him, meaning fearless warhorse. β
"Why did you just ask so many questions, don't trust us?"
"No, it's not, it's just...... You know, I'm a soldier, and as a soldier, you have to be vigilant all the time to make sure you're not a witch. If I find something suspicious, I will definitely question it. Besides, didn't you think I was sent by a witch or a spy or something?"
"Well......" the old lady did not know what to refute. At this time, Eva grabbed the corner of Avino's clothes.
"Brother......" Eva tugged lightly a few times and touched a water cup: "Please, please drink tea, if you don't dislike it......"
Avino immediately excused himself: "Ah, no need. That's-"
"You just accept it, it's too polite for you to come to us, obviously you came to help us, but you won't even ask for a cup of tea. The old man glanced at the old lady, "Do you want to speed up the sugar cubes in the tea?" Sorry, we only have black tea. β
Let's not take it lightly for now. Avino swallowed his sip and took the teacup with a smile: "No need, I'll just drink it like this." You don't have to bother with it. I lived in the same environment before I joined the army as you do now. β
"Yes......" The old man took a few steps back and stopped talking. Eva was biting her ears with the old woman. Avino's hearing was better since he was a child, so his ears were particularly pointed, and he heard sporadic words.
"Grandma...... I think this person is very reliable...... Maybe it can help us, what we do ......."
At this time, the old lady covered Eva's mouth and whispered in her ear: "If you dare to say more, I cut your tongue like I did with that guy!"
"Hmm......" Eva was obviously frightened and didn't dare to say anything more. As soon as the old lady looked up and met Avino's eyes, Avino was startled, and immediately buried his head in the glass as if he had done something wrong, but he did not drink it very interestingly.
Calm down!Aveno! Nothing to be afraid of! You haven't done anything wrong!Avino kept comforting himself, and suddenly, he felt the urge to flee the room and go back to the front line to slay the dragon with the others. At least he was there with the help of his friends, maybe Albert didn't go far? Maybe he just lost his horse and felt that it didn't matter if he continued to fight without hesitation? He's fine! Still here leisurely drinking tea and gossiping! A stream of red meat appeared on Avino's face, no! He was so ashamed! How could he be worthy of the Covey logo on his chest? Besides, Lovett just asked him to come here to see if there were any casualties, and then go back immediately!
"Nothing else, I'll go first. My companion is still waiting for me to get back. As soon as Avino got up, the little girl grabbed him: "Please, please wait a minute!"
"Huh?" Avino turned around, he was now disgusted with the room, mainly because it was full of lies against him, and it couldn't be more obvious. Can't these three people pretend to be better and have higher acting skills when they join forces to deceive him?
"What else?"
"I, I'm ......," said the little girl, closing her eyes, looking pained: "Well, Zemel brought back the man's stuff you just said during the treatment......!
"Don't lie anymore, do you?" Aveno couldn't help but expose the lies of the three men, he hated the people who deceived him the most: "I should have said it a long time ago! Why should you bother? Is it our Covey people who are stupid or what? When I first asked you, you said that the whole town had come to you for refuge, and Zemel's case was very suspicious, and you said that you were treating it in the house. Very well, then, I ask you, why are there so many footprints and marks of horses' hooves in the yard? Do you know how I can see that? Your potions are so neatly arranged that you don't spill much. Zemel was well-behaved and psychic, but that was only for acquaintances like us. It will become very nervous and sensitive to outsiders, and it will not obediently ask you to treat it! I think it is not a lie that you said that the whole town is in your house, but they are all in the basement now, right? What are you doing hiding them in that kind of place?"
"Hide from the witch!" the old man looked nervous and walked over quickly, "You, you can't go! If you leave, our town will be finished! They said they must hand over the demon hunters to them as hostages today, otherwise, they will kill everyone in this town! You can't go for the sake of our village!"
"A liar is not qualified to ask for help!" Avino unscrewed the doorknob as he said this, but he was greeted by a thud and darkness in front of him. He grunted and fell to the ground. Zinia chuckled and kicked him in the back with the tip of her boot: "Yo, I thought how strong I was, isn't that all I have to do?
"I'm so sorry, Witch-sama. β
As soon as Zinia saw the old man, she looked coldly. Everyone here is the same, and they all want to please the witch for their own benefit. I didn't expect that the mutual trust and integrity of human beings are so fragile, and Zinia snorted contemptuously, saying that she could betray her companions casually, assuming that if they joined forces against her, they would definitely be able to win. After all, he has been away from the Forbidden Forest for so long, and there should not be much magic left......
"I'll take the people first. Zenia carried Avino on her shoulders as if she didn't weigh much. When she was about to go out at the end, she didn't forget to remind the old man: "You know what to do and what not to do next, right?"
