Annan stood in front of the steps of the courtroom, his eyes narrowed in the harsh sunlight.

Companions stood in front of the steps in the sun.

"Welcome back."

Francois squeezed to the front and gave Annan an ancient and unique courtesy. Then it was ignored by Annan, who did not know him.

"I'm sorry I had to arrest you in a hurry, they had already moved when I received the information, so I had to get ahead of them." Footsteps sounded behind him, and Olmedo walked out with a warm smile, "Thank you for your trust." ”

"Who are they?"

"Let's go back to your manor first."

Olmedo sat in a carriage bearing the common emblem of the lord's palace and the Olmedo family, while Annam sat in a chariot belonging to the twelve kings of the north.

Two carriages drove away from the courtroom steps.

"We did misunderstand Olmedo ......"

Michael who followed Annan first told Annan what had happened these days.

Not long after Olmedo ordered Annan's arrest, Viscount Breo Reagan jumped out and claimed that the real Levi was dead and that Annan was an impostor. Fortunately, at that time, Olmedo had already asked his subordinates to arrest Annan in advance and settle him in the dungeon.

As a result, they realized that Olmedo had another reason for arresting Annan, and began to cooperate with Olmedo's arrangement.

And the Countess was also working around, trying to find a way to get in touch with them. However, considering that a woman whose husband had just died was not fit to appear, the Countess did not wait for him outside the courtroom.

"Viscount Breo Reagan......"

Annan knew this man, and he had passed by his viscount when he first came to Breeze.

"He has a conflict with me?" Annan guessed and asked, "For example, the territory business is mainly spinning. ”

Francois shook his head: "Not at all. He has no grudge against you, and he has no grudge against the Levi family. The lord of the castle said uh...... The usurper said......"

"You can call him Olmedo."

“…… Olmedo said Viscount Reagan was simply pushed out to stand in front of the stage. ”

"So did you find the murderer?"

"No, but let a viscount be a pawn of temptation......" Francois said again.

Annan didn't know whether to sigh at the depth of this whirlpool: "I didn't see this viscount in the court. ”

"Because before the trial, Olmedo arrested Bleo Reagan on charges of tax fraud."

"Protection?"

"I guess so. Breo Reagan is most likely to know the truth. ”

Annan thought of the female prisoner he met when he came out of the dungeon: "That Breo Reagan can't be a woman...... right?"

"Of course not." Francois wondered why Annan said this.

"And a woman dressed as a man?"

"It's not ...... either"

"He has a female stand-in?"

"Blaio Reagan is an old aristocrat who is almost fifty years old."

This dispelled Annan's suspicions.

In any case, this trip to the dungeon not only freed Annan from his identity as an "imposter" and made it impossible for the enemy to attack and slander Annan, but also recovered two of the half-blood giants and ogres, two of his subordinates who were not lower than the elite level, and squeezed out 5,000 gold coins by the way.

The latter is just a coincidence, but the former may have been intentional by Olmedo.

Annan's attention was on the way, as he saw many scavengers appearing on the streets, disposing of the corpses of the rat-men covered in stiff hairs, while many houses showed signs of burning and vandalism.

"I was about to say. A group of rat people who roamed the vicinity of Breezy City attacked this place last night by burrowing out of the sewers......"

Annan saw no wounded, but the number of scavengers, the covered bodies of the ratmen, and the burned houses spoke silently of the scale and destruction.

"That's not a good sign, is it?"

"Yes......"

Francois worries about his hometown.

"Nezumi have never been seen in northern towns...... Never had ......"

And there is no conspiracy in this sabotage, just pure catharsis.

Although there were not many casualties among the residents, it still cast a shadow over the people of Breeze. The streets are much sparsely populated and many shops are closed......

It was only after staying away from the attack area that the surrounding area became prosperous.

Dozens of minutes later, two carriages turned into Annan's manor.

Annan rushed into the study first after getting out of the car, and after a while, nervous screams were heard.

"Where's my little spider!"

"It's in your bedroom." Ai appeared outside the door like Dela, "I've been feeding it these days." ”

Annan breathed a sigh of relief.

Abby hadn't left yet, and asked hesitantly, "Young Master Annan, is there anything special about this spider?" ”

The answer is none other than to make Annan have strange dreams, but Annan certainly wouldn't say that:

"Do you know the Mother Spider? All spiders are the children of the Mother Spider Goddess. ”

"Spider ...... Mother Goddess ......"

Abby showed disgust and fear.

"Alright, don't scare the servants."

Olmedo and Francois followed.

"What about Michael and Copperbeard?"

"I'll go back after picking you up."

Annan asked Abby, who had her mouth open, to prepare three cups of coffee and a glass of juice and sit down on the couch.

Olmedo sat opposite: "Those who falsely accuse you will be punished." ”

"More than that, I care more about when Kadalina and my new recruits will come out?"

"It won't be long." Olmedo sighed, "Breez is in turmoil, and you need enough guards. ”

Annan remembered something: "By the way, that guy named Black Tierrez betrayed me. ”

Francois faithfully played the thug: "Do you need to make him disappear silently into the dungeon?" ”

"No, I promised to take him out of the dungeon." It's not a good thing to break your word, so Annan said, "Let him change his cell." ”

"One more thing, Annan."

The maid Abby walked into the study with coffee and juice, and Olmedo waited for her to close the door and leave, and looked at Annan solemnly: "My father didn't mean to target you. ”

Annan didn't say anything, but looked at him quietly.

"I know there's a misunderstanding between you...... Luckily, it was just a misunderstanding. He used to think that you were behind the nezumi who brought chaos, but now it has been proven that you have nothing to do with nezumi. ”

"It's his apology."

Olmedo placed a dragon skin scroll in front of Annan.

Eight-Ring Spell Scroll, Omledo Ray.

Annan did suspect Augusta Olmedo because there weren't many people in Breezy City who could make a viscount a pawn.

But the value of the eight-ring spell scroll is much more than the IOU of 5,000 gold coins.

At all costs...... The viscount and his viscount will have the answer.

At this time, Annan suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something.

"Where's Martin?"

"We were about to talk to you. Martin...... Martin ...... he said: "Francois was speechless.

"Where was he when the nezumi attacked?" Annan's heart rose rich and ominous.

"Not really." Olmedo reluctantly took over the topic, "Martin just ran to my father again." ”
