Chapter Twenty-Three: Blurred Faces

"I'm not a thief!

Misha kicked the ground hard, trying to get rid of the fate of being dragged to the wooden flail, her hands were clutched in desperate struggle, the backs of the hands of the two guards and even the face left the "crazy woman" with ugly red marks, and the completely annoyed guards responded to her with more fierce and savage movements, and blurted out all kinds of unbearable curses. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis indecent scene stopped the few pedestrians in the square, and it also made Ekko's face very ugly.

Misha can't be flailed in the square!, Ekor thought. But what should he do?

Echo looked around and saw the sheriff she was looking for stepping out of a carriage, and the man, apparently noticing the small chaos in the square, was shaking his head towards his office, when Echo stopped him from the side.

"Please stay, sir. ”

The gray-haired sheriff stopped when he heard something familiar. He recognized Eko, but couldn't remember for a moment how he had become acquainted with the commoner.

"Are you?" he asked, waving the bodyguard off slightly.

"You are such a noble person that I once sent you a letter. ”

"Oh! I remember, you're a white sparrow. How's that case going?"

"The murderer was a mage, and he was killed by the Assassins outside the city. Eko obscured the true cause of the mage's death.

"Is this evidence conclusive?"

"There was no evidence left at the scene, but I vouch for the homonym that the whole thing was as I saw it with my own eyes. By the way, don't you guess what I brought with me?"

Seeing Icko's gentle smile, the sheriff couldn't help but smile knowingly, "Did my dear Rose ask you to bring me a letter again?"

Eko took the letter from his arms, but instead of delivering it to the other party, he turned his gaze to Misha......

By this time, Misha's hands had been locked, and just as the two guards grabbed Misha's hair and pressed her head desperately into the wooden flail, a low cough made them stop moving. The guards looked up, and they were a little surprised to find that it was the commander they could never afford to provoke who interrupted them.

"What's wrong with this girl, why are you shackling her?" asked the sheriff in a flat tone.

Behind him, Ekko, who was standing with the bodyguards, raised her hand and pressed the brim of her hat, but Misha didn't react as if she didn't know him.

"Sir, she's a thief!"

"Did she steal anything?"

"We found her sneaking around the Sheriff's Office......"

"I didn't steal!" shouted Misha.

The sheriff frowned.

"Did she steal anything?" ”

The two guards looked at the frightened Misha in disbelief, and replied with some hesitation, "No, no." ”

"Alright, you can count on your duty and let her go, and then it's none of your business. The sheriff commanded.

The two guards breathed a sigh of relief from the chief's words, and they released Misha without hesitation, and then hurriedly took their leave without waiting a moment.

Watching the two fierce guards completely disappear from her vision, Misha suddenly broke down, she wanted to show a grateful smile, but at the same time she couldn't control the tears, this expression made Eko feel very guilty, he approached Misha, and couldn't help but want to wipe the tears from her face for this innocent girl, but Misha suddenly pushed Eko away.

"Misha?" Eko whispered in surprise.

This soft call made the girl in front of her let go of her defensive expression, she looked at Ekor for a long time, and then looked at the sheriff who had helped her a lot, and her face suddenly turned a little pale.

"I'm sorry...... I didn't recognize you for a moment......" Misha said in a dejected state.

Eko was stunned, and at such a close distance, Misha still didn't recognize herself.

Over the next period of time, Eko got her hands on Laureate-related information, and the sheriff gave them a short time to look through the files, but with Misha there, none of this was a problem, all the names listed in the files, The time and place were all remembered by this girl one by one, and they also checked the details of the relevant personnel by the way, and found that Laureate's career was simply unbelievable, and all the people who hindered him either encountered accidents or were involved in various cases, such as the great evil deeds of seven years ago. It seems that the sentence that Akaqi casually revealed, "His Excellency the Governor was supported by the Quenching Dagger", was definitely not a joke.

Sadly, these things were still not enough for Ekor to piece together the real reason why Akachi hated the Doge. He rubbed his forehead, put down another piece of paper that Mishamer had written to himself, and said, "Thank you." ”

"Ikko, remember the time you asked me why I didn't talk about other people's looks?"

Misha, who had been silent for a long time, looked at the wind chimes hanging outside the hotel lobby and suddenly asked.

"I thought you didn't want to talk about this. ”

Eco smiled, "If you want to speak, I'd love to be a listener." ”

"Actually, I can't tell people what they look like. ”

Misha shrugged her shoulders......

On the way back to the library from the Cat's Ear Hotel, Ekor was feeling a little heavy, but he soon ran out of guilt, and Lusman complained to him, telling him that Akachi had attacked Ola again, and the guide angrily said that he should starve the Assassin properly. Ekor sighed, and walked into Akachi's room with his plate, only to see his fellow elf looking out the window as if nothing had happened.

"Can you sit here for a while?" said Ekor as she put down her food.

"Do you want to talk to me, do you want to say hello to the owner of this house?" said Akachi sarcastically.

"I hadn't thought about it, it seemed like I hadn't thought it through. ”

Ekor smiled wryly and dragged the chair next to the coffee table and sat down, watching with some helplessness as Akachi put the food into his mouth spoonful by spoonful, and then slowly spoke his mind.

"Tell me about you, about the Governor you want to deal with. ”

Akaki stared noncommittally at the plate in front of him, his hand scooping food slowing down imperceptibly as Ekor had to say something.

"I'm going to look into the Governor you care about. You're right! There was the shadow of a quenching dagger behind him...... Climbing fast on others along the way, if it is purely from the perspective of justice, Lauride really deserves to die. But ......"

Eko sighed in an inaudible voice.

"This man is not a threat to Elada, and if we attack him rashly, it may bring untold consequences to the white sparrows here and even to Elada in the distance. ”

Listening to Ekko's explanation, Akachi smiled silently. He didn't expect anyone to avenge him, and the reason why he made a condition to a few white sparrows was just to tease them.

"So, if anyone threatens Elada, you're going to kill him?" asked Akachi on a whim.

An irresponsible smile hung on his face, and Ekko's expression became serious.

"It's possible, but destroying others is always our last option, otherwise we'll be no different from the Demon Hardener!"

This answer made Akachi sneer twice. He pushed the plate open, then looked out the window again.

"Akaci, Lauried's opportunity to squeeze out the former governor is directly related to the great evil, did you really murder several pregnant women and young children for the selfish desires of some powerful people?"

"Seven pregnant women and ten young children. Yes, I have killed young children. Akachi replied without thinking.

"Akachi, can you look at me and say that? You didn't kill so many innocent people, did you, and someone else should be held accountable for that?" Ekor asked.

"You're not trying to say that some kind of evil is going to change because of numbers, are you?"

Akachi suddenly sneered. The real number in his mind was one, and the killing was the only evil act he had ever done with good intentions, and it was chilling to remember the child's weak and begging look.

"I want to clarify for you those evil deeds that do not belong to you, in lieu of the conditions you have prescribed. If it were possible, you could also blow the governor in honor and force him to step down, what do you think?"
