Chapter 10: The Calamity

(After reading the book review, a friend said that the name should not be changed back and forth, and I think it makes sense, so I will use 'Raphael' from now on.) )

Because his confidence had been hit, Raphael, who was a little depressed, lowered his head and walked in the direction of the hotel, at this time he did not want to talk to anyone, but only concentrated on something.

Raphael was too involved to see an oncoming carriage, but fortunately Moshinko alerted Raphael by shouting from behind, and the driver turned to the side in time to avoid an accident.

"I'm sorry. Raphael said apologetically.

The coachman didn't pay any attention to him, and drove the carriage farther and farther.

"Raphael, what do you want?" Moshinko rushed over and patted Raphael on the shoulder.

"Nothing. Raphael said listlessly.

Seeing that Raphael was in a bad mood, Moxinke didn't ask, and the three of them walked forward silently, until they reached the door of the hotel, Raphael suddenly stopped and whispered: "It's not right!!"

"What's wrong?"

"The carriage ......"

"What's wrong with that carriage?"

Raphael frowned, although being a detective was just a side hustle to support his family, he was used to looking for clues that everything was abnormal, just now because he was too involved, so he didn't notice it, and only now did he react.

Under normal circumstances, the driver of the car will shout when he sees someone hitting the car, at least it is much easier than turning the carriage to the side, and after he apologized, the coachman did not respond, in fact, it is normal to scold a few words, but as if nothing had happened, then something is wrong, does the other party know himself?

"Moshinko, do you think Miss Kiri will be in that carriage?" said Raphael, who was not sure of his speculation, otherwise he would not have used a question.

"The carriage? No, didn't Miss Qili leave a long time ago?"

"It's hard to say. Raphael paused: "If Miss Qili pretends to be clever and wants to lure the pursuers away before leaving the town...... Then they will be unlucky, those knights are well-trained at first glance, and they are not easy to deceive. ”

Moshinke was stunned for a moment, looked at Raphael, and Raphael was also looking at Moshinko, the eyes of the two collided together, but they avoided each other, and they thought of a question at the same time, should they chase the carriage?

"Let's go, let's go back. Rafael made the decision.

"Also...... Good. Moshinke's answer was a little reluctant, not that his moral character was lower than Raphael's, the key is that he was born and grew up in this world, and the bloody facts that he heard and saw told him that being a good person and doing good deeds usually does not last long! And Raphael is a modern man, although he has heard people describe the chaos of the outside world, but hearing is not as good as seeing it, and his perception of reality is far less than that of Moshinke.

Unfortunately, the two of them were not destined to be good people, and when they rushed back to their original place, the carriage was long gone, and they chased them all the way out of the town, and there was no trace of the carriage.

"What to do?" Moshinko asked.

"What else can I do, go back. Raphael shrugged his shoulders, he couldn't help it when it came to this, if Miss Qili was really in the carriage, she would definitely have to rush to run away when she got outside the town, God knows how far they had run now.

As if to test Raphael's suspicions, the three of them returned to the hotel and chatted for only a while, when the calm of the town was broken by the sound of horses' hooves, and Raphael hurried to the window to look out, and saw the knights jumping off their horses and stopping the passers-by for questioning.

During this time, there were very few people or carts leaving the town, and more than one person saw the carriage, not to mention that the knights were very generous, and after a while, the knights had found the answer they wanted, and they jumped on their horses and chased after the town.

"It's over......" Raphael sighed lightly, he said to Moshinko, violence can't solve all problems, in fact, the so-called mind is the same, no matter how smart he is, he can't do anything about this kind of thing, the speed of change is too fast, unless he has the power to leave all those knights behind, he can only watch. He had thought about helping Miss Kiri, but that was before the crisis erupted, and now that it has erupted, what else can he do?

"Do you want to ...... Shall I go outside and have a look?" said Moshinko slowly.

"It's useless. Raphael shook his head, reached out and grabbed the bread that had been placed on the table, which he had prepared for himself, and lay down lazily on the bed. Absorbing the energy of food for a long time has made him develop a habit of wanting to eat when he is in a bad mood and wanting to eat when he is in a good mood, just like an alcoholic or a smoker.

"Then stay here, Stillberg, let's go out and take a look. With that, Moshinko pushed open the door and walked out.

"Alas...... The young master must be sad to death now. Outside, Stillberg couldn't hide his emotions anymore, and showed a sad face.

"What did you say?" asked Moshinko, surprised.

"Can't you see? The young master likes Miss Qili very much. ”

"Really?" Moshinko's eyes widened, he had teased Raphael on the subject before, but it was just a joke.

"Why am I lying to you!"

"Raphael......" Mosin Cotton paused for a moment: "If this matter passes like this, there will be only good and no harm to Raphael." ”

"What do you mean, you!" said Stillberg angrily.

"Huh...... Don't be angry. Moshinko laughed, although Stillberg had little ability and low status, he never looked down on Stillberg: "Think for yourself, Raphael and Miss Grace...... Is it possible?"

Stillberg was stunned for a long time and shook his head in frustration: "But...... But the young master will be unhappy!"

"It's better to be unhappy than to be miserable for the rest of your life. Moshin said with a grin, followed by what Raphael used to say to Stillberg: "You are still young, so there are some things that you do not understand." ”

Stillberg pursed his lips, everyone has been familiar with each other these days, don't look at Moshinke's tall and unshaven beard, but his actual age is only twenty-one, only four years older than him, if Moshinko is not a high-level swordsman, he must have jumped up and retorted.

Raphael had already eliminated several pieces of bread one after another, and the whole person became motionless, and even the rise and fall of his chest became slower and slighter.

I don't know how long it took, but Raphael was awakened from his concentration by the sound of hurried footsteps, Raphael had just opened his eyes, the door had been pushed open, and Moshinko walked in with a smile, followed by a happy Stillberg.

"Haha...... Raphael, don't pretend to be a prophet in front of me in the future!" Moshinko laughed.

"What?" Raphael rolled over and sat up.

"The knights are back. Moshinko pointed to the window: "I don't believe you can see for yourself." ”

Raphael went to the window again and looked out, and sure enough, he saw several knights, but their number was much smaller, only four.

"They came back empty-handed?" said Raphael, surprised.

"Young master, they brought that carriage back, but there was no one in the carriage. ”

"Where's the coachman?"

"How do we know that?" asked Moshinko rhetorically.

"What about the other knights?"

"Also...... I don't know. ”

"It seems that I underestimated Miss Qili or someone pointed her out, otherwise ......"

"Hah, my prophet, you're using your astrology again?" Moshinko shook his head and sneered, "I don't believe anything you say. ”

"Whatever you want. Raphael didn't bother to argue: "Don't talk about this, no matter what Miss Qili looks like in the future, it has nothing to do with us." ”

"I just don't believe it......" Moxinke was still shaking his head, and the guy who liked to raise the bar didn't wait to finish his words before expressing his objections.

As it turned out, Moshinko's astrology was far superior to Raphael's, and at noon hundreds of sudden knights broke into the town and drove all the townspeople to the square in the center of the town, and even the few girls in the town were dragged out in their sleep.

Raphael and Moshinko were naturally no exception, but the knights who drove them were originally very arrogant, but after recognizing Moshinko's identity, their attitude eased a lot, and obviously they didn't want to have senseless bloodshed.

Not only was there more than twenty times the number of knights, but the commander had also changed, and the leader in the red robe was also there in the early morning, and he and several officers who looked to be of similar status stood in the lower shouri, and on the steps was a young man in a white robe.

The young man's appearance and figure were not outstanding, but the white robe on his body was very eye-catching, especially the white robe was inlaid with a lot of golden streamlines, shining in the direct sunlight. Moreover, the young man seemed very excited, and walked back and forth from time to time, or shouted a few words loudly, and constantly pointed fingers, and the anger and corruption he showed were obviously at odds with the grace and luxury symbolized by the white robe.

Mehana, the mayor of Ladong Town, appeared, and he mustered up the courage to lean over to say a few words to the other man, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the young man slapped him in the face, and then the two knights carried Mehana down the steps and unceremoniously threw him into the crowd.
