Chapter Seventy-Seven: Marta's Choice
"Excuse me. ”
Aisha raised her head, stared at the oncoming black-haired knight, let go of the daughter in her arms, and said calmly: "As long as I find Charles's murderer and avenge him, I will do anything." ”
"I want to know the details of the killer's killing of Charles, and whether the killer said or did anything before killing him?"
Yalei didn't want to get involved in this troubled water, but he was going to take a civilian airship, and if the case did not progress, I am afraid it would have to be delayed for a longer time.
"He calls himself a crocodile man. She struggled to recall the scene: "He claimed that someone had sent him something to deliver to Charles, and he seemed to just raise his hand, and then Marta noticed that Charles's wrist had been cut. ”
"It's a throwing knife!"
Marta turned around, her delicate face was full of hatred, and she gritted her silver teeth and said: "He pulled out a throwing knife from his sleeve and scratched Uncle Charles's wrist, I have long thought that person is very annoying, but I didn't expect that guy to be a murderer." ”
"You didn't see what he was doing. The black-haired knight glanced at Miss Dryad, then turned his gaze to her daughter, "But you see clearly, is that so?"
"That's right!" the Tree Elf Girl nodded hatefully, and added:
Then he slipped into the crowd and disappeared. ”
"Marta is much better at hunting than I am. Aisha echoed with some inferiority.
"Have you heard of this crocodile man?" he turned to look at the guards who had followed him.
"I've heard of it!"
Several guards answered at the same time, glancing at each other, and one of them stood up and said:
"This guy is a skilled professional killer who has assassinated officials in Gaul, is good at using throwing knives and poisons, and has been wanted for twelve years. But it is still at large. ”
"It seems that a year ago, he also killed the widow of a wealthy businessman. Another guard followed.
"Professional Killer ......"
Yalei silently recited this combination, but there was a sneer in his heart, he had not been caught for so many years, and he dared to kill people repeatedly, almost 100% of which were eagle dogs raised by some big people.
"I've been saddled with so many criminal records. There is still unimpeded passage in the waiting hall, which must involve a lot, and I can't control this matter. Yalei decisively gave up his intervention and said almost explicitly.
His main task now is to raise money, and then train the legions to resist the onslaught of the Highland Kingdom, no matter how dissatisfied he is, he can only turn a blind eye to these ugly political struggles in the country.
After hearing the black-haired knight's words, Aisha immediately felt that the world was spinning. But as if the last trace of anger had been taken away, he asked in a tone that bordered on despair:
"My lord, are you going to stand idly by in the face of such a despicable crime?"
Looking at Miss Dryad, who was quickly withering and crumbling like a flower, a hint of gloom flashed in the black-haired knight's eyes: "My ability is limited, as introduced by Governor Andman, I am only a temporary governor. ”
"So Uncle Charles died in vain?"
Marta rushed to him angrily, her eyes blazing and shouting, "Even people like you don't care. The executives must have been even more ambiguous. ”
"As things stand, I'm afraid so. ”
Yare stared into her eyes. bluntly said: "In any case, Charles's death must have some purpose, maybe it was a political need, or maybe it was a division of wealth. In short, if you don't want to be affected, you might as well leave Gaul as soon as possible. ”
"No way. ”
Aisha staggered back to the wall. In a trance, he muttered, "Charles gave us all his possessions, and Marta and I can't escape." ”
"Over to you?"
The black-haired knight looked at the second daughter in surprise, and calmly analyzed: "That killer didn't kill you, obviously knowing that there is no point in killing you, as long as you hand over this property." It should be fine. ”
"Hand over your property?" Aisha was stunned, her eyes gradually regained their brightness, and she said hopefully: "My lord, as long as you can avenge Charles, I am willing to give you all his property." ”
"What do you think of me?"
A trace of anger appeared on Yalei's face, and he subconsciously clenched his fists behind him, suppressed his anger and said, "I'm not interested in Charles's property, and I can't help you guys." ”
"But ......"
Miss Dryad's expression was stunned, and then she became extremely pale, her arms hugged her body tightly, and she said in a trembling voice: "The property that Charles left me can't keep, and I can't avenge Charles's revenge, why is this ......happening?"
"Mom!
Marta quickly ran to her mother's side and said through gritted teeth, "Give me a little time, I will become strong and avenge Uncle Charles." ”
"Marta ......" Aisha stroked her daughter's smooth hair, and tears welled up in her eyes, "I only have you now." ”
"Let's go to Celtic. ”
Yalei couldn't help but close his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Transfer the property left by Charles to Celtic, then as the highest local governor, I will protect you." ”
After all, I relented.
“......”
Miss Dryad's eyes lit up with hope, and she looked at the black-haired knight without saying a word, as if she couldn't believe what he was saying.
After a long time, she lowered her gaze:
"What do we have to give?"
"Taxes, and a certain amount of risk. ”
Aisha pursed her lips, held her hands in front of her chest, the knuckles of her fingers turned pale with force, and asked:
"What do we get?"
"Peace, and all that Charles has left you. ”
Miss Dryad was silent, her expression looked a little excited, more of a struggle, and before she could speak, Marta stood up first, and asked coldly:
"And what about Uncle Charles's feud?"
"This matter has nothing to do with me. The black-haired knight looked at her calmly, and said without any warmth: "But there is hope in life, and if you inherit his property, you will have the power to find out the truth." ”
"I'm not going. Marta shook her head slowly but firmly, and retreated to the wall step by step: "It is a sin to have no strength, and I will use my own strength to avenge Uncle Charles." ”
"Ambitious. ”
Instead of continuing to talk to the Tree Elf Maiden, Are's gaze turned to her mother:
"What about you, what do you think?"
"Sorry...... I can't trust a man other than Charles. Aisha lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye.
"It's your choice. ”
The black-haired knight then turned to leave, and at the same time said to the guards beside him, "Tell your superiors that I need to leave as soon as possible, otherwise there will inevitably be an unpleasant situation for him." ”
"Yes. The other party quickly ran out as fast as he could. (To be continued......)
