The night was even thicker and foggy, and darkness completely covered the entire land, but the Golden Tooth City, which was surrounded by high walls and thick walls, was full of fire, flickering brightly in the night.

A large werewolf scurried down a secluded alley, her right arm sprouting new flesh to stop the loss of blood, but it was completely useless. Instead of escaping from the city in the dark, she chose to hide inside.

In the bedroom of the Earl of Merlin, Gavin Islam was lying beside his father's bedside and weeping bitterly, he had never hated himself so much as he did now. He didn't expect that the bewitching woman he had brought back from the brothel would be a disguised assassin, a wolf-headed monster. Gavin despised and hated and ridiculed himself for killing his father and nearly losing his life for it. If it weren't for his cousin Brandt showing up in time to save himself...... He didn't dare to think about it.

"Gavin," Brandt comforted in a deep voice beside him, "don't be too sad, Uncle has already gone." He was also very sad in his heart, if he could have arrived a little earlier, maybe his uncle would not have died. Although Uncle Merlin was not particularly fond of him, at least they had lived together for two years, and Brant had a deep affection for his uncle and cousin.

After a long time, Gavin stopped crying and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. "Put my father's body in place and put him in clean clothes. ”

The soldiers followed Gavin's instructions to carry away the body of the Earl of Merlin. Outside the door, several knights in full armor hurriedly walked in behind a brightly dressed middle-aged man. They are all the right-hand men of Earl Merlin, and they are the most powerful people in Golden Tooth City.

"How can there be a werewolf in a well-guarded castle?" asked Sir Leon Belmont with a deep face, "Why would the soldiers in charge of the night watch be killed without resistance?" He was not tall and slightly fat, and his round face was narrowed into a slit with two thin eyes, and a bald head on top of it, giving him a sense of obscene mediocrity. But Sir Lyon was the closest confidant of the Count of Merlin, the brother of the long-deceased Madame Merlin, and the uncle of Gavin. He also has another identity, the commander of the garrison of Golden Tooth City, commanding the three thousand guards in the city.

"It's me, it's all my fault. Gavin replied, clutching his blonde hair.

"Sue me, for what reason?" asked Sir Leon, sharply. He looked at his nephew with a look of disgust. In his eyes, his nephew was a lazy, lascivious prodigal.

"That monster, a prostitute I brought back from the brothel," Gavin's voice began to tremble, and he said in a trembling voice, "I... I didn't expect her to be, to be an assassin, and I didn't expect ......"

Sir Leon was stunned for a moment, and roared, "Shut up. At this moment, he was furious to the extreme, and suddenly he stretched out a thick slap and slapped it on his nephew's cheek. "Unproductive thing, how could my sister give birth to such a nasty embryo as you, you don't deserve to be named by the surname of the Islamic family at all. "How would Duke Philip feel if he knew that his son's death was due to the absurd folly of his grandson?

Brandt stood by and stopped, not knowing what to say to his cousin. But he could not bear to see his cousin, who was grieving his father's death, continue to be angrily reprimanded by Sir Lyon.

"Uncle, I was wrong," Gavin roared in pain, "I killed my father, and the damned one is me, it's me." ”

Sir Leon tried his best to hide his anger, and said in a calm tone, "Which brothel is it?" At this point, no matter how much he blamed his own nephew, he could not save the life of the Count of Merlin. The delay is to find clues about the murderer.

"The red-lipped brothel. Gavin replied in a trembling voice.

"Sir Randy," commanded Sir Leon, "you yourself will lead a squad of soldiers to arrest and interrogate all the prostitutes of the red-lipped brothel, including those who have a relationship with the brothel. ”

"Yes, sir. Sir Randy agreed, and then turned and walked away alone.

"Sir Bob, put the whole city under martial law, and forbid anyone to enter or leave," Sir Leon then ordered, "send soldiers to search all the houses in the city, and arrest all women who find themselves missing their right hands, and put to death if they resist." ”

"Yes, Lord Leon. ”

"Lord Leon," Brandt noted, "I'm afraid she'll have fled out of the city." "Werewolves' razor-sharp claws can easily penetrate any hard wall, let alone climb over a wall nearly a hundred and ten feet high, and she wouldn't choose to take a great risk to hide in Golden Tooth City.

Sir Bob retorted, "It's just your guess. ”

Brant did guess wrong, he didn't know the ability of the assassination organization, and he didn't know that after the werewolf appeared in Golden Tooth City, she had other missions besides assassinating targets.

Sir Leon suddenly reacted, looked at the black-haired boy in front of him and asked, "Brandt, why are you here?"

"I hurried here when I knew that my uncle and Gavin were in danger. Brandt replied.

"How do you know? and didn't you go to Rock Harbor?" said Sir Leon, asking a few questions.

In order to dispel Sir Leon's doubts, Brandt had to explain the whole thing to the other party in detail, including how he appeared here.

Gavin and Sir Leon's faces changed dramatically, and a look of shock and horror filled their cheeks.

"I must rush back to Boulder City now," Brandt said, "and tell my grandfather all this qiē." ”

Gavin worried, "Grandpa is old, he won't be able to withstand this blow." ”

"Uncle Merlin's death must be reported to Grandpa Sù. Brandt claimed. This qiē could not be changed, and he could not imagine how sad his grandfather would be when he learned of Uncle Merlin's death.

"And what about Jensen?" asked Gavin again, "is he in danger?"

"He's far away on Shago Island, and the assassination team shouldn't be there so soon," Brandt said, "and when I get back to Boulder, there will be a message from the crow to tell him." "The fastest crow can fly to the island of Xiaguo in just a few days, and Jensen has the strength to get close to the great knight.

"Brant, take me back to Boulder City. ”

"No, you can't go back. "Your father is dead, and the title of Golden Tooth must be inherited by you, and you need to stay and rule the city." ”

"What we have to do now is to immediately recruit troops and store food in the territory. He declared.

"Uncle, why do you want to recruit soldiers and store food?" Gavin was a little confused, "The garrison of Golden Tooth City has 3,000 soldiers, which is enough to maintain law and order in the city. ”

"You don't understand it in preparation for war," Sir Leon reminded his nephew with a frown, "you don't have to worry about that, you only need to issue conscription documents in your realm as a count." He didn't expect anything from this good-for-nothing nephew.

"I see. "Gavin's blunt interface. He knew that his uncle didn't like him, or could say he hated him. Even if he was about to become the Lord of Golden Tooth City, the lord he had to be loyal to, his attitude towards himself would not change.

Sir Leon said sharply, "Don't leave the castle if you don't have anything to do, I will send additional guards in the castle." With that, Sir Leon left the room alone, and there were only Gavin and Brandt.

"Brant, I will remember this kindness of yours in my heart. ”

"We are brothers," Brandt emphasized, "and you are too angry to say that. ”

"Brandt," Gavin said hesitantly, "you won't ...... me," he was a little embarrassed.

Knowing what his cousin was trying to say, Brant interrupted, "I'll hide it for you." "Even if Gavin doesn't say it, he won't sue Grandpa, if Grandpa knows that his uncle's death is because of Gavin's guidance, Grandpa won't spare Gavin.

Gavin said firmly, "Sue Grandpa, I won't let him down again." "As a member of the Islamic family, he has to pull himself together. He wants to find out the murderer behind the scenes and avenge his father.

"I will. Brandt pulled out his magic book and turned the pages to pull out the pink candle. He lit the candle, and a white light appeared, and Brant's figure flew into the sky in the blink of an eye.
