Chapter XXXIX: Testimony
"You don't want to hunt them, do you?" After listening to this, he looked at Little Red Riding Hood and the murder weapon in his basket from top to bottom.
"Giggles~ I'm here this time, not hunting." Little Red Riding Hood raised her chin and said, "I was also scaring the witch at the door, and you didn't see her scared, it's funny." ”
"She's scared because of the end of the treatment of witches in this era, it's not just a knife on the head." He shook his head slightly, and then said, "There are indeed a lot of stories here in the Great Wasteland, but I haven't been here for long, so I'll pick a few for you to tell." ”
So he explained what happened during this time, such as the leader of the Dark Noble Alliance, the leader of the Eternal Spear, the Blood Dove, who is good at using the Longinus spear, the Dark Four warriors under his seat, the ability to fight the Templars sent by the Holy See for two hours, the druid mages of the Starfall with magical powers, the mysterious poison expert Forest Witch, and so on.
Little Red Riding Hood heard from beginning to end, and until she finished speaking, she felt that she had not heard the one she wanted to hear the most, but she understood how the previous count died, and it was indeed these heretics who did it.
"Were the vampires who killed the Earl sent by Baron Nofifi?" Little Red Riding Hood asked.
"No, but the vampires inside did work with the Baron before." Teaser said.
"Then how did I hear that the baron colluded with heresy and mutilated the bishop and the earl? All this is a conspiracy of the new earl, right, in order to annex the baron's domain, just as others have swallowed the widow's property! Little Red Riding Hood stood up and said, "Will you testify in court, Teaser?" ”
"What?" Wondering.
"It's the new Earl framing Baron Nofifi!" Little Red Riding Hood snorted, "My mission this time is to investigate the unjust case of Baron Nofifi, since you are an insider, then you should go back with me to clarify the matter, then I will give you a bounty of a layer, how about it?"
"Not good." "I'm still working for the Earl, and it's a bit of a shame to do that." ”
"Huh?" Little Red Riding Hood was immediately unhappy when she heard this, she pinched her waist and pointed to the crossbow in the basket and said, "See, that armor-piercing crossbow can even penetrate the inner armor of the witcher, if you dare to succumb to the darkness and don't testify, I will shoot you into a porcupine!" ”
"You're still eating our barbecue one second, and you're going to do it the next, do you want to change your face so quickly?" Mu Er on the side said with a bitter face when he heard this.
"Shut up! Grill your meat! Little Red Riding Hood snorted, "A bounty, a hundred thalers, how much can you give you for working for the Count?" Is there a three-thaler? ”
"Nope." "I haven't gotten a thaler yet. ”
"That's it, he's so mean, and you're still protecting him?" Little Red Riding Hood asked.
"The main thing is that it has something to do with the baron." "If the baron didn't let me go, I wouldn't have been able to rescue the heretics who were imprisoned in the church, and the heretics wouldn't have had a chance to take revenge, and the count wouldn't have died." ”
"Wouldn't that be too far-fetched?" Little Red Riding Hood asked, "Said after turning several corners." ”
"But that's exactly why." "You're investigating the whole story anyway, as long as it's true, as for the rest of the matter... That's the heir's business. ”
"Oh." Little Red Riding Hood's face was full of loss.
"You're still not satisfied?" Seeing her like this, he snorted, "I didn't even know that you were investigating this matter, otherwise I wouldn't have told you so much, and the Earl would have been betrayed by me, and you tell the person who offered the bounty that if he accuses the Earl with my information, I will kill him." ”
"Do you know who sent the bounty?" Little Red Riding Hood was surprised.
"Whoever accuses is whoever accuses." Masturbation.
"Then why is the Baron holding you? And then let you go?" Little Red Riding Hood asked again.
"I was framed as a heretic before, before the hunting sport." "At that time, you could be released from prison by confiscation of property and exile, and I came out after the property was transferred. ”
"Because of hatred, heresy is unleashed, and the reason is yours." Little Red Riding Hood pondered, "But your hatred still comes from the Baron, and that's his reason, and it can be understood if you don't want to testify." ”
Little Red Riding Riding Hood walked towards the basket as she spoke, and Mul, who was roasting meat, put his hand on his waist and shook his head slightly, and saw Little Red Riding Hood turn around and take out a parchment roll.
"What is this?" Masturbation asked.
"Testimony book, you wrote down the whole story, it is indeed the baron's reason, so that I will not be talking nonsense and cheating the bounty when I take it back." Little Red Riding Hood said.
"Oh." He nodded, the words here were the same as Old English, he could still write, so he wrote the baron's fault reasonably, and finally wrote that this testimony was limited to the description of the scene, and the consequences and losses caused by other uses would be the responsibility of the parties.
After writing it, Little Red Riding Hood took it and looked at it, and then handed it back, "Your name, occupation and address are not written, and the testimony should be comprehensive." ”
"Then I still need to press my handprint?" Masturbation asked.
"It's best if you have a seal." Little Red Riding Hood said.
"Bring me the thing the savage made for me." Said the thing, which was finally in use.
Slipper signed his full name on the parchment roll, Pusher. Neil, a bankrupt grocery merchant, on the outskirts of the Barony of Widdy, then wrote another identity in Chinese, and finally stamped the seal ring that Muer retrieved.
"Lizards? Are your ancestors still noble?" Little Red Riding Hood took back the parchment scroll, looked at the badge she had never heard of, and then looked at the words of the Prince, "What a failed name, bankrupt merchant, suburb... You are so pitiful that you can only live in the wilderness like a wild man. ”
"It will be fine later." He smiled and said, "Everything is reincarnated, some are divided into days, some are divided into years, and some are turned in twelve years, bad things will not always be there, as long as you are on the right path, then there will be a new beginning." ”
"If you're so poor, don't talk to me about philosophy." Little Red Riding Hood snorted, "Don't worry, I'll give you that hundred thalers." ”
"Thank you so much." He laughed, he didn't seem to have touched much money.
"What's the square you're drawing? Spells? Drying the parchment rolls, Little Red Riding Hood, who was about to roll it up, casually saw the Chinese characters on it and asked.
"It's also words, another way of writing my name and identity." Teaser said.
"Oh, then you can help me translate, and I'll talk to my employer when I get back." Little Red Riding Hood asked.
"This is Ye Xiao, my name."
"Night stalkers?"
"No, it's Ye Xiao." "The two words are taken apart, the leaf is the meaning of the leaf, and the meaning of Xiao is more, and in my current situation, it is the meaning of depression." ”
"Sounds so much better than masturbating." Little Red Riding Hood nodded, then pointed, "What about the four squares?" ”
"Dark Sage." "I gave myself a professional identity. ”
"It seems that not only the down-and-out knights fantasize about princesses, but also commoners fantasize about being saints, you really dare to think about it." Little Red Riding Hood pouted, "If you don't call Samael, are you afraid of going out and being killed?" ”
"Low-key, low-key." He coughed a little, and he choked on the mushrooms.
"Giggles~ And what about this one?" Little Red Riding Hood smiled like a duck trampled by the neck, and then asked.
"The land where the stars have fallen, where I live, is where I am now." Teaser introduced.
"Oh." Little Red Riding Hood nodded with satisfaction, rolled up the parchment and put it in the basket, she looked up casually, and in the moonlight, the black castle in the distance was painted with a simple pattern, it was a red dragon.
