Chapter 100: Acquaintances
Roswell?Why is this name so familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere?
Yes, it was Mino's mention, the knight who was recuperating from his wounds in his house and dying in battle for the poor.
The knight who influenced Mino, it turned out to be such a great guy. I don't know why, hearing the story behind this knight, Donner is even a little proud of Mino.
Well, the next time I meet Mino, I'm going to tell him this story.
In this way, it makes sense that Ceoseius, the Rose Knight, became a pirate in Middle-earth. He's doing what his brother would do, and he's going to apologize to him. Becoming a pirate probably also wanted to travel around Middle-earth to find his brother's whereabouts.
The next time you meet him, you should also tell him his brother's whereabouts.
For some reason, Donner suddenly thought of his younger brother, Richard.
If Kelly falls in love with Richard and runs away from home, will Richard also kill Kelly to find himself...... What a mess.
Donner hurried to stop his thoughts.
This month, Gernada gave Donner a simulated assassination of a middle-aged woman, plus a long-term mission to find the man who had secretly killed Gresham.
For the role of a middle-aged woman, Countess Pellinan is just right, and it is not very difficult to assassinate her. Donner will keep the main focus of his stay at the prom on finding the lurking killer.
Gernada had casually said that it was a colleague, but Downer was skeptical.
Gresham's disappearance and Laetitia's death were too close in time. Judging from this, someone should have been unaccustomed to his approach and removed him. Killers, on the other hand, are usually very planned and do not act arbitrarily because of their likes and dislikes.
With so many people on board, the only thing that could see through Gresham's actions was the small group of Hulse-speaking people at the ball.
In addition to the two deceased, there were nearly thirty Huls-speaking regulars at the ball.
There are too many people, so try to narrow down the suspicions first.
Women are more likely to sympathize with Laetitia, while young people are more likely to have a sense of justice, and the killer is not supposed to be an ordinary person, either a knight or a magician.
Which of these people are not ordinary people?
Thinking of this, Donner suddenly recalled the crowd that had gathered on the deck in the morning.
When pirates attacked, ordinary people would definitely stay in the cabin and not dare to come out, so the people on the deck at that time were dressed as knights and magicians.
But neither the knight nor the magician ever came to the ball......
Miss Theresa and Countess Perlinan were both in the morning!
At that time, I still laughed at the woman's curiosity, but I didn't think of a possibility, why couldn't these two ladies be knights or magicians?
Miss Theresa asked about knights, and perhaps it was because she was a knight herself that she had more in common with them. Or, she's a magician looking for a knight lover?
I have been blinded by her childish performance. But who says knights and magicians can't be naïve?
Moreover, she also fits the characteristics of a woman and a young man.
Not to mention the countess, she has suffered Gresham's losses and has more motives to commit crimes. And, if she was the murderer, didn't she choose to do it after Laetitia committed suicide precisely to get rid of suspicion?
If Gresham had just gone missing from the Countess when she had deceived her, everyone would point the finger at her.
In this case, it is difficult to say even the cause of Laetitia's death, and the Countess may have killed her out of jealousy, pretending to be a suicide, and then killing Gresham at the same time. Yes, Gresham hasn't been seen since Laetitia's body was discovered. It's also too coincidental.
After some speculation, Donner decided to make Countess Perlinan the biggest suspect and Miss Theresa second.
Just now, I thought that assassinating the countess was an easy thing to do, but in retrospect, I didn't even know anything about the strength of the other party, which was really ridiculous. Donner shook his head and smiled bitterly, now it seems that the task assigned to her by Gernarda is really useful.
So let's start with the Countess, first find out the details of her strength, Donner plans to do this, so that the task of formulating the assassination plan and finding the murderer is equivalent to being carried out at the same time.
"How do I know the strength of the target of the assassination?"
After doing a thousand sword swing exercises, Donner asked Gernada.
Since he was promoted to a low-level reserve knight, sword practice has not been as laborious for him as before.
"I didn't think about it. Gurnada replied crisply.
"But that's an important question. ”
"Yes, it's important, but I'm not a killer, I've just studied their fighting styles and habits, and I don't know how to scout targets and make plans. Gernada shrugged and spread his hands as if innocent.
"And what plans are you going to let me make......" Donner grumbled.
"It's self-study, and I didn't say I'd read the plans you wrote me. ”
Donner had nothing to say, so he rolled his eyes.
......
On the night of the pirate encounter, there were many more people at the ball, and the passengers, who should not have seen the situation at that time, came out to inquire about the news.
People from different circles gathered around each other and talked about the long and the short. The dance floor was empty, and after the band continued to play for a while, they simply stopped when they saw that there was no one dancing.
In Donner's Hulse-speaking circle, an elderly knight was talking. By the way, the so-called Hulse language is just the customary name of Donner, and some people call this language Dorlon, Salk and the like according to custom. Because the dozen or so continents where this language is spoken are small and none of them occupy a central position, in the heart of Middle-earth, it is called Western.
"At that time, I thought that the name Ceoses was so familiar, and when I got back to the room, I remembered that it was not the Rose Knight. "The old knight also knows the name of the Rose Knight.
"What's the matter with the Rose Knight? How can a pirate be called that?" Miss Theresa was concerned about any rumors about knights, but it was somewhat strange that she, who longed for knights so much, had never heard of this story.
"Speaking of him, there are endless stories to tell......"
The old knight was very good at arousing the curiosity of the listener, and everyone held their breath and waited for his next words.
Donner didn't care at all what he was going to say, because he saw an unexpected acquaintance in the crowd.
The second prince of the Thorn Empire, Jeffrey.
He was sitting with the Countess of Pellinan.
