It is necessary for Annan to reorganize his cognition.

After a day together, he got a new understanding of the team:

Michael seems to be a mage tower mage, but he is cunning as a mouse, and likes to make enemies think he is a weak mage, and then wields an oak staff with nearly 10 pounds of ramming horns when he approaches.

Francois, a baron with a disdainful past. His desire to curry favor with Annan was undisguised, and he did possess excellent archery skills and battlefield instincts, but secretly seemed to have a unique, slightly strange, and unspeakable hobby.

Kadalina, a fanatical believer known as the "King of Men", has not yet been consumed by fanaticism. Her sect unexpectedly holds a certain truth that Annan knows, but behind the truth there seems to be unspeakable terror.

Klein, the man in full armor who never took off his helmet, whose identity is a mystery, whose gender is mysterious, who adheres to a certain chivalric creed but never rigid, and whose frank attitude towards Annan can tell us a little bit.

Dela...... Dela!?

Annan suddenly remembered that the elven guards arranged by the wine lady had been following him all along...... Whether the attackers said the killer was a lady of wine or they followed the clues to investigate...... didn't shy away from her.

Annan even remembered the strange way Michael looked when they talked about the wine lady.

"Dela?"

As the call sounded, the elven guards appeared as if they had quietly arrived, but the truth was that she had been here all along.

"What's the matter?" She asked.

“…… What is this ability to hide in the shadows? ”

"The Night Elves' Craft."

They returned to the carriage, narrated by Francois:

A story that is not too complicated. The attacker's name was Hanna, and Joyna was the wife of his brother Hamad. Hamad and Joyner were just ordinary civilians, while Halla was a mercenary with a higher status. In order for his younger brother to take care of the family, Hamad shared his wife with Hannah, but vented his anger on his wife -

Francois and Klein were staring at the spot, and Annan and Michael went back with Kadalina to release the loot.

Kadarina's abode was ordinary, neither like the dwelling of a fierce woman, nor like the dwelling of a fanatics.

"I'll be waiting for you in the car."

Michael said that Annan followed Kadalina out of the car and into the room.

Before Annan entered the house, he saw countless loot heads displayed on the display shelves of the house.

Annan immediately stopped and returned to the carriage in silence.

"You did it on purpose?"

"We've all been brought by Kadalina." Michael laughed, "Welcome to the squad." ”

By the time he returned to Joyna, Hamad had been successfully knocked unconscious.

"The scene may be a little uncomfortable...... Why don't you wait for me to tell you the results after I finish the interrogation? ”

"Hmmm......"

Annan groaned and waited with Michael as they went back to the carriage first.

Klein didn't want to get involved, and Kadalina also went home recuperating from her injuries, leaving only Annan and McKell alone.

A few dozen minutes later, Francois, who had his collar straightened, walked out of the house.

Annan pointed to his neck.

Francois touched the scratches and said apologetically, "Sorry for making you laugh." ”

The shameless Baron recounted the results of his "interrogation": Hamad said that he had seen Hannah come into contact this morning with a man who claimed to be a wine lady, and that man gave Hana sum of money.

"If I were a lady of fine wine, I wouldn't leave such a clear clue." Michael said. "And if I were the murderer of Annan, I would not use this lame conspiracy to slander the wine lady."

"I have a conjecture ......"

"Let's say it's not the lady of wine who did it, it's not the murderer, but that there is a third party who wants to muddy the water......s," Francois said.

"Who could it be?"

"Except for the Mage Tower, any force wants a piece of the pie."

……

A carriage pulls into the gloomy manor and stops along the road in front of the bright gates.

Annan returned to his bedroom and sat at the table, pondering what Francois had said at the time of their parting.

"It's offensive to say that, but don't you think it's strange? The young king of the north arrived in his faithful Breeze City, and these noble and rich men have not moved until now. Regardless of the Mage Tower...... Don't look at me like that, I know you're neutral...... Or are the City Lord's Mansion, the Council Elders, and those who lean towards the Reeves family and those who don't lean towards the Reeves family quiet? ”

"They don't think I'm from the Reeves family?"

"How is this possible, only fools looking for death, stupid pigs dare to do this."

At that time, Annan changed the subject with a weak heart: "I have been staying at the manor and not knowing what is happening outside. ”

"Because nothing happened. It's business as usual in Breezy City, the moon sets into the earth, and the sun rises as usual. Francois said solemnly: "This is dangerous, Your Excellency the King of the North, this is dangerous. ”

"Where's the danger?"

Annan thought he would say it was the calm before the storm, but the situation went the other way: "The ...... The usurper has taken control of Breeze City, and no nobleman dares to jump out and disturb the situation at this time. This is how the usurper tells you that he is the ruler of Breeze. Your ...... There is no offense here, just speculation from the point of view of a usurper...... All the struggles were useless, he didn't even have to do anything! ”

"And this kind of good thing?"

"Uh...... What do you say? ”

"I mean, now that another group of forces have stepped in, this city lord should be more anxious than us."

"That's true, but it makes you more passive...... Order stands for solidity, and only chaos can change this solidity, allowing you to take the opportunity to reclaim your status as the lord of the city......"

Annan came back to his senses from his thoughts: "Dela, are you there?" ”

The tall elf appeared in front of him, and Annan continued to ask, "Do you know about the current city lord Olmedo?" ”

He didn't care about the city lord, nor did he care about the Reeves family, but he couldn't care less about the people around him.

Compared to Breeze City and the Murderer...... They were tiny with a single foot—and Mr. Fast was just a slightly stiffer beetle that could step on a click.

Della's response was to suddenly push Annan onto the bed. Before he could react, he stepped up and lifted his hood, revealing the unusually beautiful elven face that was close to a human.

"You want to say that he plays with women like this?"

Annan today has experienced battles and deaths, politics and intrigue, and his groggy head is not very smart.

"I'm just thankful." Deira leaned over, her supple pale yellow hair spilling, "When that fireball bursts...... You saved me. ”

"What do you want to do?"

Annan said as he struggled to take off his magic robe.

Della on Annan's body asked rhetorically, "What do you want to do?" ”

Annan replied seriously: "The magic robe is engraved with defensive magic, and I am afraid that it will hurt you. ”
