Ruda was born in Rudaburg, and that land bears his family's surname. After the Nords seized the land, Ruda's family was dismembered and fled to all corners of Svadia. After Ruda was the patriarch, he moved with his family to Dehrim. There, the Ruda family's centuries-old experience in catching thieves was prized by the sheriff. Rudaburg is a town located at the confluence of the North Sea Plain and the richest plain of Swadia, where a diverse floating population lives; A wide variety of goods are distributed here; Of course, the most bizarre cases also happen here. The nobles of Fort Rudaburg have accumulated a lot of criminal material over the years, and this training has given Ruda great enthusiasm for solving cases and catching thieves since he was a child. However, Ruda was the son of a nobleman, and he was destined to receive a territory, the famous town of Rudabao within a radius of 100 miles. This disliked Ruda very much, and he had to study accounting, etiquette, philosophy, literature, and other things that he felt were useless under the pressure of his family. So, when the Nords finally drove his family away, almost everyone was grieving the loss of their territory, but Ruda was relieved that he was finally able to put all his energy into what he loved. His dedication to catching cunning robbers is almost to the point of insane paranoia.

After Ruda settled in Dehrim with his wife and children, he approached the sheriff and asked to be appointed as a nobleman. The sheriff, who was very uninterested in the ability of the aristocracy, had a sympathetic attitude and gave Ruda a patrol official position. Surprisingly, within three months of Dehrem's various gangs were swept down and wiped out by Ruda, from the mountains to the streams, from the royal palace to the ghetto, all kinds of emergencies were given to Ruda in order of priority, and Ruda was like a machine, fanatically chasing every thief or robber, whether he stole a box of silver coins from the exchange or kidnapped one of the mayor's nephews. Ruda can always find out the truth in the non-stop pursuit. Since his shot, the capture of thieves has never failed.

Ruda has been idle since he was a child, and he is only interested in solving cases and chasing people. His father scolded him: "You can never earn 500 dinars!" ”

This made Ruda always think about it for many years and couldn't let go of it, and he couldn't free himself after his father's death. So he made a strange rule, no matter how big or small the case, as long as he was allowed to go out, 500 dinars, never two prices.

These two points made Ruda the most talked about figure among the sheriffs. In view of the deteriorating public security situation in the Suno region, the sheriff of Suno wrote a long letter to the sheriff of Deherim, asking him to help him train his security inspectors. While proud, Dehrim's sheriff sent his most capable officer, Ruda, to Suno.

When the sheriff of Suno received Ruda in the mansion, the tax collector's messenger arrived, and the sheriff had seen the tax collector's servant, and he knew that the tax collector would appoint this servant only when he was delivering the most important invitations. After reading a letter from the tax collector about the kidnapping of his family member, the sheriff saw an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, on the one hand, to sell the tax collector a favor on the one hand, and on the other hand, to examine the famous inspection in Decherim.

So he took Ruda to the tax collector's residence in the Golden Rose district that same night. There he saw that in addition to the tax officer, there was also a businessman with a gloomy face, and he took care of this businessman without any flawlessness, but smiled and watched at the invitation of the tax officer, Ruda confidently took the case.

Ruda couldn't help but be upset.

Rueda had taken over the case for a few days, and he was looking through the case of the kidnapper, Kazak. Kazak's romantic style makes Ruda very excited, and catching this man is undoubtedly something that Ruda is very proud of. Ruda is now like a wolf that smells tender beef. But after a few days, the spies he sent out had not heard from him, and he had to wait for Kazak to make contact without further information. This kind of waiting is necessary, but it makes Ruda like a bear in a cage, trying to seek a breakthrough but can't.

In the morning, the staff of the Suno Inspectorate listened to the roar coming from Ruda's office, and listened to Ruda throw ink bottles everywhere and crumple up papers everywhere.

At this time, a clerk knocked on Ruda's door, "Mr. Ruda of De Cherem." ”

"What's the matter!" Ruda's eyes were red and he roared at the staffer.

"Huh?? So, a civilian wants to meet our guy here who is responsible for the kidnapping. Said he had something he wanted to explain. I remember that you were in charge of a kidnapping case, so I came over to ask for your opinion. ”

"Let him come."

Half an hour later, Ruda carefully confirmed his hearing, and it felt like a miracle. A robber traitor with a letter of commission from Kazak asks him to find a way to rescue a young man named Arcadio II. Ruda almost wanted to laugh, he was so lucky that he now had the timing and place of Kazak; mastered Kazak's judgment of the future situation; Got his hands on almost everything he wanted to know about Kazak. It's so lucky, it's almost like a scam.

"So, civilian, why are you handing over this letter?"

"For one promise I made back then, sir. I'm old, and if I can't seize this opportunity again, I'm afraid I won't be able to seize it. Thanks to the god of the sea, he allowed me to fulfill my destiny. ”

Ruda was curious about the way this commoner swore an oath: "Sir, I lived in Fort Ruda when I was young, and I met many Nords there, and it seems that you swear in the same way as them. Of course, I'm not saying you're a Nord, but I think your habits are similar, for example, swearing to the god of the sea. ”

"Sir, I'm a Norder. I betrayed my employer, which is unforgivable among the Nords, and when this is over, I will seek my own death. ”

“??? Why? Why should I trust you? You're most likely sent by Kazak to confuse me, aren't you? ”

yes, why would this Nord betray his employer in order to save a young man? Why did he even pay the price with his life?

Why?

Because many years ago, the Nord had been captured in a war, and he had fallen into utter despair. But a Svadia lord redeemed him in those dark days and saved him from the slave market in Suno. He didn't want to think about those nightmarish days. He had always regretted the stupidity he had done because of a lame horse. After so many years, he watched life under the stimulation of alcohol. He has seen almost everything in the world, but he has no wish. When he was beaten and abandoned by a group of his compatriots, he felt that he owed nothing. The deception of the lords, the horror of war, the loss of love, the betrayal of his compatriots already made him feel that nothing mattered.

But he remembered the Svadia lord. The lord treated him like a brother to himself, and together they pulled the plough and herded the cattle together, and together they created a new life in a certain valley. He had been regretting it all the time, regretting how he had abandoned it all because of his impulses.

But there was one thing he had never forgotten, and he remembered his oath to the god of the sea.

He once said that he owed no one in his life, only his grandfather and grandmother. In the future, as long as he lives, he will repay this debt.

Now, he's here to pay off his debts.
