Chapter 7: Just a Coincidence! (Ask for collection ~ ask for support ~)
Dokule was knocked away by a galloping carriage.
The reporter's body spun three or four times in mid-air before he fell heavily to the ground a few meters away, his chest had a noticeable depression, and his mouth, nose and ears began to bleed uncontrollably.
This scene frightened Scott and the two onlookers into frightening in place.
They could hear Arthur's curse on Dokule just now.
Just now, they thought it was just a curse under anger.
Can now?
Curse!
A real curse!
Scott gasped as he looked at Arthur.
Curse, he knows!
His Excellency Charles told him that a curse can only be formed when a person dies with great grievances.
And it is basically impossible for a living person to curse others, even His Excellency Charlie, who is a master, needs to be arranged for a long time to do it, but what is in front of him has really happened!
Then there's only one possibility-
"Arthur has not only inherited the blood of His Excellency Charlie, but transcended!"
"Arthur is......
A true master! ”
The moment the thought came to him, Scott looked at Arthur differently.
Scott, who loves and pursues mystery from the bottom of his heart, is not only surprised, but also respectful!
Isn't a true master worthy of respect?
Compared with Scott's surprise and respect, the hired Vontel and Wiggins were only frightened.
Dokule died.
Died under a curse.
So, what about the two of them who were hired by Scott?
"Lord Credos, we have no ill will towards you!"
"We're just blinded by this guy!"
"Forgive us for our ignorance!"
Whether it was the well-dressed young man or the young man who didn't care about himself, he said it again and again at this moment.
In the face of death, even heroes cannot be calm.
Not to mention two young people who are essentially having fun?
Arthur ignored the two.
He swore that he really didn't want to kill Dokule just now, he originally wanted to scare and scare the other party first, and then find the other party in the evening, causing an accident like carbon monoxide poisoning.
Who knows. Remnant. Snake Eye] is so easy to use!
Who knew that the carriage came from here so coincidentally!
Unconsciously, Arthur's gaze turned to the carriage.
This carriage is not a coachman's rear station, a cheap two-wheeled Hansen carriage, but a four-wheeled pull-lane carriage, not only the two horses pull, faster and more stable, the carriage is completely made of century-old oak, painted with dark matte paint, the canopy is made of soft canopy with an inner cushion of velvet covered with buffalo leather, which can be closed at the owner's will, but also opened, without fear of wind and rain, very convenient.
Oak, in South Los stands for glory, strength and indomitability.
Velvet is notoriously expensive.
Therefore, the cost of pulling the roadway carriage is naturally extremely high.
At least, the average middle-class, wealthy person can't afford it.
Of course, in order to distinguish it from public carriages, the average middle-class and wealthy would choose the Bloom carriage, a single-seater enclosed carriage drawn by a single horse, but most of the time, this single-seater carriage would be converted into a face-to-face two-seater carriage, which was convenient for family use and for formal occasions.
With the memories of his predecessor in his mind, Arthur knew very well that the identity of the owner of the carriage in front of him was either rich or expensive.
And the coachman proved it.
It is different from the general driver who panics after hitting someone.
When the coachman realized that he had hit someone, he immediately grabbed the reins, jumped out of the carriage and went to check on Dokule's injuries.
When he found that Dokule's chest was sunken and bleeding, most likely he was not saved, he immediately walked briskly towards the street - this was not an escape, but a call to the police.
Because of its proximity to West Merk Avenue, at the entrance of Kirk Street, there is not only a patrol policeman, but also a sentry box.
After the driver brought back the policeman in the sentry box, he walked to Kirk 2.
"I'm sorry that this happened.
Mr. Police will take care of this matter.
Please let us know if you have any needs. ”
The coachman bowed very politely, and spoke even more politely, but the content of his words was not simple.
As soon as he came up, he admitted his mistake, but did not immediately offer compensation, but said that the police would deal with it, obviously having absolute confidence that he would be able to be 'treated fairly', eliminating the possibility of sitting on the ground and being blackmailed, plus the carriage on the road, anyone knows what to do.
"You misunderstood, it's not your fault, it was Dokule who rushed out and caused the tragedy."
Scott stepped forward to communicate on behalf of the group.
The young reporter didn't hide too much about what had just happened, and said truthfully, and the two young men hired by Dokule, although still frightened at this time, nodded and agreed.
As for Arthur?
He stood silently, but quietly glanced at Wiggins, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, and when the police appeared, the young man pulled the brim of his hat and covered his face.
Afraid of the police?
Born on the street again, gang members? Or Goldfinger (thief)?
Arthur pondered with great interest, while looking at the coachman who walked in front of him, and looked carefully - the seemingly loose linen shirt under the bib pants immediately tightened as the coachman bowed, the shoulders were even more bulging, and the sleeves were rolled up to reveal a thick forearm, coupled with the thick knuckle knuckles and calluses outside the knuckles, Arthur decided at the first time that if there was a conflict with the other party, he would never melee combat.
"The coachman worked as a bodyguard, and he had a dagger in his boots, and the driver's seat was covered by felt, and there should be 1-2 firecrackers underneath, and the wheels were not stained with mud, indicating that they were only driving near the Shire district in the middle of the city, and that the speed was so fast, that they were in a hurry......
Wrong! Wrong!
The direction of the other party's coming is Shidal Lane, where there are some civilians who live better, although at this point in time, the peak of work has ended, but the busiest time period is not, those wives and second sons who subsidize the family will go out at this time!
Under such a premise, the carriage entering Dahl Lane was extremely time-consuming. ”
With the blessing of [Eyes Like a Torch], Arthur quickly gathered all the information, but soon he found the contradictions.
Involuntarily, Arthur's gaze turned to the coachman again.
It just so happened that at this time, the coachman listened to Scott's explanation and also cast his eyes on Arthur.
The other party's eyebrows were raised, his mouth was slightly open, even if it returned to normal immediately, it was still difficult to hide his surprise, but what really mattered was that the muscles around the other party's eyes changed significantly, and the faint crow's feet became clear.
The other party is very happy, is this holding back a smile?
Arthur immediately understood what was going on.
He sighed inwardly.
Dokule, you're damned!
It is clear that the coachman in front of him is here for Dokule.
No!
To be exact: the people in the car are here for Dokule!
Even if he hadn't made a move, the people in the car would have killed Dokule.
Even, the other party was afraid that when he saw Dokule rushing out, he instantly changed his original plan and directly let the carriage accelerate and hit Dokule.
Arthur didn't care at all about what the other party's original plan was.
He was now thinking about what the situation in front of him would give him.
Dokule, who the other party really wanted to kill, had already been 'killed in advance' by him, so as long as the other party was not a fool, then it was an accident.
The other party will definitely hide itself and start hyping up the so-called 'psychic curse'.
Expand your influence and gain more XP!
This is what Arthur wants.
As for more?
If you don't have enough strength, you can be greedy, and Dokuleko, who is lying in a pool of blood next to you, is the best example.
Judging from the other party's style of acting, the other party is not easy to get along with.
So, Arthur looked at each other, showed a smile, and said.
"A tragedy like this is something we don't want to see, do we?"
"Of course!"
"It's just a coincidence, a tragedy under a coincidence!"
The coachman emphasized, and then, continuing—
"After all, we're here to visit you today!"
Visit me?
Immediately, Arthur's eyes narrowed.
