"Let's go out and eat again. Kenda had never seen a Diarlandor like this, and he amusedly soothed the unfinished prince.

"It's not a desire to eat, it's a manifestation of Riceth's inner craving. Dearlando threw the used napkin on the plate and replied deflated.

Kenda was ten years older than Dearland, and he also took care of Dearlando at the Knight Academy, and was both a brother and a friend to Dearlandor. In front of Kenda, Dearlando rarely revealed a little emotion in his heart: "No matter how much you eat, it's useless...... It can only be alleviated, not eradicated!"

"Your Highness......" Kenda frowned, his worry overflowing.

But Diarrando didn't let the frustration stay for too long, and after a while, he changed to a cheering expression and said: "Let's go~ The problems that can't be solved will be put aside first, and we will do what we can!"

Kenda silently loaded the gun magazine and supported Diarrando with his actions, which was the only thing he could do.

As soon as the two of them walked out the door, the servant at the end of the corridor came over and asked what service was needed. Before Kenda could say a word, the Knight of Angsai rushed to hear the news.

As soon as the bearded knight heard that Kenda was going to start an investigation, he immediately began to arrange for people to provide Kenda with a drive. Kenda politely declined, asking only for horses and maps.

The Zuihou Knight insisted on accompanying Kenda to check, saying that someone should be the guide anyway, and at this point, Kenda couldn't bring it with him.

The knights of Angsai were very efficient, and by the time they reached the platform at the entrance of the castle, the horses were ready, and the cow that Dierlandor rode was not taken away by Zoya and the others, and was brought along with them.

"Lord Kenda, where should we go first?" Knight Angsai took out his map and asked Kenda's opinion before leaving.

"The most recent one, most likely there are still residual clues. Kenda succinctly pointed out the goal. The knight nodded, rolled up the map and inserted it into the bag next to the saddle, mounted his horse and set off.

Along the way, Diarrando kept a low profile and followed the two knights, only to be spotted by the guards guarding the gate when he was out of the city, triggering a new round of whispering. The knight glared at the soldiers, and the soldiers were immediately silent, but they couldn't help but sneak a glance at Diarlando.

"Why?, why are the people here so curious about me, my new squire? I think I've heard the Demon Eye, the Witch, or something......" Kenda waited for a while out of the city, and asked the Knight of Angsai. I plan to take a look from the side to see how the number two real power person in this black lead city views what the city lord has done.

The knight of Angsai was a little embarrassed, laughed a little, and then said, "People of the countryside, it is inevitable that some gossip from foolish village women will make Lord Kenda laugh. ”

"Oh, what kind of gossip, does it have anything to do with that beautiful young lady just now? To tell you the truth, I would hardly have imagined Count Grude having such a tender side if I had not seen it with my own eyes to-day. Kenda deliberately pretended to be gossipy, to see what Angsai would answer.

"Don't say it's you, I've been following the city lord for more than thirty years, and I didn't expect the city lord to fall in love so much. Actually, I think it's a good thing for the lord of the city, but Master Holm can't accept it emotionally......"

"So these rumors are ...... the young city lord?" Kenda raised his eyebrows, and stopped talking.

"No, no, Young Master Holm is an upright and kind young man at heart, how could he do such a boring and despicable thing. It is probably a rumor spread privately by some businessmen whose business has been affected, and these profiteers can do anything for the sake of profit. The knight of Angsai immediately defended the young master's reputation and turned his attention to the caravan.

"Why is business affected? I just saw in the castle that there were only a few ships in the harbor, and all the way from the castle I also noticed that there were very few merchants here. It seems strange to be an important trading city on the Southwind Road, is it because of the impact of the attack on the caravans?"

"In the matter of trade, the highest price wins, and some people can't afford the price, and they are naturally resentful when they are squeezed out of the market. The knight of Angsai said calmly, and it seemed that the price offered by the caravan of Pith was quite satisfactory, at least as the interests of the upper nobles of the city were not affected.

"Although there have been many attacks on the caravan, they have just happened in the past three months. Although we had no clue about the investigation, we knew that the country was now facing an external enemy, so we did not report it. I didn't expect King Bixia to care so much, and I was really flattered that he sent you, my lord, to assist us in our investigation. The Knight of Angsai changed the subject and threw the question back to Kenda.

Kenda made a little nerve-wracking look, and said dissatisfiedly: "You also know, I traveled all over the Western Front, and it was rare to go back to Donseneldburg for vacation, so I was sent here, and I also have a headache." It seems that it was reported by some veteran families, and I don't know which one it is. But there are not many people who can speak in front of the king......"

The knight of Angsai showed a "I understand" expression and fell into deep thought. As he pondered which senator's interests he had affected, Kenda glanced back at Dearlandor. Dearlando listened to their conversation with one ear, but kept an eye on the terrain around him.

It's an offshore area, and there are no particularly tall mountains, but there are rolling hills on either side of the Southwind Road. The roadside canal can not dry up in all seasons, and it should also be supplied by the spring water on the mountain.

Although it is easy to have an illusion about the direction when walking on the road with little curvature under the cover of the trees, the direction they are in at this moment is actually right on the back of the black lead city. If you traverse these hills, you should be able to reach the back of the castle of Ebony City.

That said, while it takes about an hour to ride a horse on land, it can take less than ten minutes in a straight line from the air.

Although there may not be the means and necessity to observe and draw a map from the air like a national capital or a large city, Diarlando compared the map he just glanced at with the terrain he explored last night, and it is obvious that the relative positions of the cities and roads on the map are wrong, and the deviation is not small.

As a result, all the murders that seem to occur far away from the city actually take place within the immediate vicinity of the city. Thinking of this, Dearlando looked at Kenda and nodded slightly, indicating that he had made a discovery.

After a gallop, the three of them soon arrived at the place where the caravan had been attacked yesterday. The body has been pulled away and buried, and the blood on the ground has been washed and buried, and there is no sign that there has been a murder.

The hottest hours of the afternoon had just passed, and even under the dense shade of the trees, the power of the sun could be felt, and near the water's edge there was another caravan camping and resting. There were about a dozen people, mules and horses who were good at carrying heavy loads, and they were piled up full of goods, and at this moment the merchants were regrouping and planning to set off.

Seeing the three people with weapons who suddenly came, they all showed nervousness. Several young and strong caravan men immediately drew their weapons and stood in the front row, fully guarded.

The knight of Angsai showed the crest of the city on his chest to identify himself, and then told the merchants to leave quickly and not linger. The caravan was then back on its way, leaving the camp to Kenda and his party.

Kenda frowned and looked around, if there were any clues left here, there were not many left, not to mention that there were so many caravans coming and going.

No wonder it became a headless unsolved case...... However, in front of Kenda, whose sense of smell is far superior to that of ordinary people, the murder scene can still be clearly reproduced in his mind.

The knight of Angsai watched Kenda jump off his horse and walk directly to the place where the body fell yesterday, as if he had already known the situation, and felt a little strange in his heart. But when I thought about it, Diarrando was also at the scene of the murder yesterday, and probably had already explained it to Kenda, so I was relieved again.

"Where's the corpse?" Kenda asked the question of his greatest concern bluntly, as Deirrando had mentioned that there was something suspected of being a parasite in a certain corpse when he told him how he would run to the city of Dark Lead, and that the shape was somewhat similar to that of the flying monster that was later discovered.

So the first thing Kenda wants to check is this scene, and now Kenda can smell the traces of the smell left by everyone, but the location of the body still makes Angsai lead the way and will not arouse suspicion.

"It was hot, and we buried the bodies on the spot nearby. Please come with me, but I guess the body has begun to decompose at this moment, and if you want to check it again, the scene may be very filthy and messy. We've sent a doctor to examine the wound and take notes, and I've brought it here, or ......," said Knight Angsay, pulling out a few volumes of records from his bag beside the saddle and handing them to Kenda.

Kenda waved his hand: "I'm on the battlefield, what kind of corpse has I never seen, since I was sent to investigate, naturally I must personally check everything to rest assured." ”

The knight of Angsai had no choice but to lead the two of them into a fork in the road, advanced dozens of feet through the woods, pointed to a piece of land that had just been turned over and said, "The corpse is here." ”

"Squire, you can start digging. The knight of Angsai gave the order to Diarlando, who had followed him. Dearlando's pony "Pito" had just been placed with some tools by the castle's servants before setting off, and sure enough, there was a shovel inside.

In front of him are two "knight masters", and he is a penniless "little mercenary"! Faced with the cruel reality in front of him, Diarlando can only resigned himself to his fate, carrying a shovel and digging a grave in the hot afternoon.
