"A person came to the village in the morning and left at noon, who was that person?" I asked Edwin at dinner that day.

"You see?"

"I met him at the entrance of the village." I say.

"From Stormwind." Edwin said it casually.

"Stormwind? Is it your eyeliner? ”

"No, it's Katrana's people." Edwin broke the bread in his hand and handed it to me.

"What is she looking for you for?"

"She said she was still willing to help us." Edwin said.

"Still...... Heh, how did you get back to her? ”

"I refused." Edwin tossed the bread piece by piece into the soup.

"What good things do they offer us?" I asked curiously. "Is it money or food? Or is it a drug? ”

"Hmph." Edwin snorted.

"What did you talk about?"

"Lady Katrana says that the king is still grieving, and that there has always been an attempt to show the Brotherhood to the king."

"Who is it?"

"You ......" Edwin stopped as soon as he opened his mouth, he glanced at Vanessa next to him, and then glanced at Vanessa's mother, Elizabeth, who lowered her eyes, and there was no expression on her face. You know for yourself what you did in that guy's house. ”

"Tsk......" I pouted, "Hmm...... I'm curious about this guy, where did you provoke him? ”

"I didn't even know him." Edwin said.

"But this family has been eyeing the two of us for a long time, am I right?"

"It should be you!" Edwin snorted.

"Targeting me is targeting you, it makes no difference." I said, "But the problem is that I haven't been able to find the reason why this family is holding us back." ”

"You investigated him?"

"Well, I found this surname when I checked the information before, and the family was still a minister by the king's side when the king had not changed his name, and I remember that it seemed to be a general of the Knights. But ever since the throne had been seated by the Wryons, the family rolled out of Stormwind to the west...... Oh, survive in the wilderness. With that, I glanced at Elizabeth.

Edwin glanced at me and his wife, "Elizabeth is also a Westerner. ”

"So is Queen Tiffany." I say. "Although the environment in the west is not good, there are always beautiful women."

Elizabeth should have heard me, but her face was still expressionless.

"I guess the Alexton family just wants to take the opportunity to return to Stormwind." I say.

"It's not impossible." "Perhaps......," said Edwin, "maybe," he said, gently pressing the bread into the soup with his fork. "Perhaps...... There are other reasons. ”

"You know so much more than you should know."

"I don't really know much about him, and I wouldn't even know about this man if it weren't for the riots in Stormwind." Edwin said.

"What?" I looked at him in surprise, "And someone else you didn't follow?" He's the Minister of Architecture! When Stormwind was rebuilt...... What level is he? ”

"I didn't even notice this person."

"It wasn't long before he officially became Minister of Architecture...... Hum...... This guy started out as a technician, but I remember all the times I've ever shown his face in engineering meetings, especially when it was about spending money. He's the kind of stuffy guy who's just like me when I first came to Stormwind. Hum...... And you ......."

I looked at him with some anticipation, some embarrassment and some puzzlement.

"It's the same hard work." Edwin's tone didn't seem to want to praise me with that word.

"I'm also working hard." I snorted.

"I didn't suspect him at all." Edwin said. "I really didn't expect him to be behind the scenes."

"What the hell?"

Edwin glanced at me, "What the hell?" What the hell could there be! It's you hapless man! Edwin's words were not harsh, which made Vanessa on the side laugh, her eyes were so beautiful to smile.

I laughed awkwardly, "Me? ”

"That guy has been investigating you, don't you understand?" Edwin glared at me.

"Huh?"

"Didn't you tell me? Investigating you is the same thing as investigating me, what are you pretending to be confused with me? "Edwin came back at me.

"I ...... Thought there was another reason. "I quibble.

"You have done too many sins before, and it is not without reason that he investigated you."

"This guy is in his early forties this year, and his father and grandfather started investigating us back then." I stuck out my fingers, "I started investigating more than twenty years ago." ”

"If it weren't for you, maybe none of this would have happened." Edwin pouted.

"What did he say in front of the king again?"

"It's still a potential danger to say we." Edwin glanced at Vanessa next to her.

"And what's going on with Leskova?" I asked.

"Hmph...... Now he is avoiding suspicion and is constantly throwing the pot, this is his trick. We'll be ...... for a while It's hard to get help from him. But in Leskova's case, I feel like it's just the man's words. ”

"You haven't been in touch with Leskova lately?"

"Now there are as many spies around Leskova's house as there are cockroaches in the sewers. Even if a bird flew into his house, Leskova would have been scared. ”

"Can it be that serious?"

Edwin snorted and didn't respond to me.

"This guy named Barons...... Maybe it's better to die. ”

"Shut up!" Edwin gave me a look, not heavy but stern. "How could you be so stupid?" He shook his head and looked at Vanessa.

"Barons can't have an accident just yet, and I won't send someone to do anything harmful to him." Edwin said. "His safety is in some ways a matter of where we are now and what we will do in the future. So you can't do that either. ”

I nodded. "Then you rejected Katrana's request, and what was that guy's reaction?"

"There's no reaction, he's just a messenger."

"No way, this kind of person is not just a messenger, he also has to try to make sure that you can agree to his request so that he can go back on an errand."

Edwin didn't answer the question, just drank the soup to himself.

"And what are you going to do next?"

"Hurry up and eat, there will be a lot of things to be busy, and tonight will be very busy."

I had just finished my mouth and before I could wipe Tim in from outside the house, "Chief, when are we leaving?" ”

I looked at Tim in surprise and then at Edwin.

Edwin looked out the window, "Let's go now." ”

"What are you going to do?" I stood up all at once.

"You'll find out in a moment." Edwin didn't say it straight, "Don't worry, honey. Yes...... Baby...... Eat well, I'll pick you up later! "It's the only moment I've ever seen Edwin show tenderness.

The sun has set, and night has shrouded the river, enveloping the small village by the river. There were not many lights in the village as usual, everyone was hurrying but no one spoke.

Soon the sides of the street were filled with people. Everyone was carrying something in their hands. "Is this a relocation?" I asked Edwin.

"Yes."

"In such a hurry?"

"We still have a lot of work to do." Edwin said, "You follow me." ”

I followed Edwin, and the seven big men followed us. The people on the side of the road saluted Edwin when they saw him.

"Are you all ready?" Edwin asked Tim, who was running from afar.

"Ready."

"No one can be lost." Edwin said solemnly.

"Yes." Tim turned and walked away.

There were a lot of rafts and sampans on the docks, and Tim beckoned everyone to board. It seems that they are going to move to the other side. As soon as I thought of the gloomy environment on the other side, I wondered if this group of people could stand it after two days.

The people on the dock kept repeating that the people who boarded the boat were careful, and that there were crocodiles in the water, and they said that it was the time for the crocodiles to come out to feed, and that if they fell into the water, they would be afraid of their lives. He also kept emphasizing that it was not allowed to move without permission when crossing the river and gathering on the riverbank, and if one person was lost, the whole team would be killed.

Hearing this, I glanced at Edwin beside me, who just frowned and stared at the people on board. He seemed to sense me looking at him, and he turned his face, "What are you doing?" ”

"What does it mean to lose one person and kill the whole team?"

"A team of eight, a captain. If one person goes missing for no reason, the remaining seven will also be put to death. Tim explained.

I looked at him in some amazement, and Tim saw my confusion. "There are ghosts in the village." He lowered his voice.
