Volume 1 The Winter of Halmar Chapter 134 His Choice
"Captain?" Andu looked back at O'Connor in surprise.
The captain's face didn't seem to look good...... Looking at O'Connor, whose face was gloomy, Andu's heart welled up with a little unease.
"I heard you went to the Southside yesterday?" O'Connor cut straight to the point, his eyes looking straight at Andu, his eyes full of questions.
"That's right. Andu nodded and made a reminiscence: "I went to the church in the southern district yesterday and heard that there was an accident in an abandoned housing area, so I went to see it. ”
O'Connor let out an "oh" and asked with a hint of questioning, "So you easily solved a second-order demon, is that what you mean?"
Andu, who has always been calm and composed, immediately looked at his captain with resentment, and said with grievances,
"How can it be easy? I almost died there, Captain!"
O'Connor's expression stiffened for a moment, and he said sternly,
"Brewster and Chad both told me, do you still want to defend yourself?"
O'Connor remembered the incredible expression on his face when he recounted what had happened to him yesterday, and his usually soft gaze became gradually gloomy,
"You just took two bodyguards, and you eliminated a second-order Cres-level demon soldier, or a mutant!
Andu spread his hands with an innocent face: "Captain, you didn't let me explain, and said that I was justifying~"
O'Connor said angrily, "Are you playing word games with me now??"
!!!
The sudden roar frightened him subconsciously and quickly shrunk his neck, but most of the worry in his heart disappeared invisibly.
It seems that the captain is not so angry either...... I'm going to listen to my explanation!
With a flattering smile on his face, Andu smiled and said, "This is all a misunderstanding, in fact, it was very dangerous at the time!"
"You don't know, my two bodyguards are very strong! one is a seasoned thief who has been in the underground world all year round, and the other is a champion gladiator who has fought in the gladiatorial arena!!"
"The main thing is that the two of them consumed most of the demon's strength, and I used the hole cards left by the teacher to destroy the other party!"
Saying this, the smile on Andu's face gradually faded, and turned into loneliness.
"But Amelia, he still died in battle, it was my fault, if I had warned him earlier, maybe he wouldn't have died......"
When he said this, he felt regret from the bottom of his heart, because he was negligent at that time and failed to remind the other party earlier, which led to the later events.
In everyone's deep-rooted concepts, how could anyone imagine that a second-order demon would be able to use a fifth-order talent??
Looking at O'Connor in front of him, he even had some suspicions that there might not be many people in Halmar's city who knew what the talent of the fifth-order demon was.
So, it's actually all your own fault......
O'Connor stared at Andu, and after a few seconds he softened,
"Really?"
"That's right. Andu nodded earnestly, his face full of sincerity.
I don't know if I was moved by his loneliness, or if I really believed his words, but the end result was that O'Connor didn't choose to continue to ask.
"I'm going to report yesterday's incident to the Bishop in a moment, and I will report it yesterday, so I'll wait for you to confirm the situation when you come. O'Connor said suddenly, but his eyes remained fixed on him.
"Captain, is there anything else you want to say?"
Looking at the captain's straight eyes, Andu's heart couldn't help but panic.
"You can grasp the relationship between you and Chade yourself. O'Connor let out a long sigh, then dropped a file.
"I see. ”
After taking the document and seeing O'Connor's back disappear from sight, Andu's heart suddenly relaxed!
"Fortunately, the captain believes me, if it is the same as the investigation, it will be really troublesome!"
Andu opened the Chinese piece in his hand with a sigh, and before he had time to relax a little, his expression was completely solidified.
"Case: Suicide of a young girl, the case of depravity. ”
"Name of the deceased: Miranda...... Age: 16 years old...... Occupation: Part-time church volunteer ......"
The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and Andu sorted out the documents as if nothing had happened, put them back in the folder, and walked to the sanctuary without saying a word.
Without even thinking about it, he guessed why it was this case!
"Ruskin!!"
Gently muttering the other party's name in his mouth, Andu did not have any emotional fluctuations.
"It seems that sooner or later it will collide, I don't know if I can last until next month to graduate from the academy. Silently calculating the time in his heart, he realized that it was only more than half a month.
But why do you think half a month is so long...... Am I being too impatient lately...... The corners of Andu's mouth rose slightly, and he laughed at himself.
In the church, almost all of Halma's judges and purifiers gathered, who made Halma have this position only in the episcopal church.
Monday is the only day when everyone will almost arrive, because in the following week, everyone may not have time to meet again because of their busy work, so Monday is the only day of the week when everyone can gather.
This is especially true for Andu's team.
Andu, who was still thinking about completing attendance as much as possible, has given up his plan to report every morning after several cases in a row.
Although this will affect his attendance and weekly salary, it is no longer a problem for him.
"I don't think any judge will be more terrifying than me...... Anyway, I might be leaving next month, so let's just get by. Andu thought tiredly.
As soon as he entered the sanctuary, a familiar voice rang out.
"Andu!
Locke sat up from his position and shouted at Andu with a wave of his arms.
"You're so early!" Andu smiled as he walked over to his three teammates.
Looking at Colin, who was haggard, he took two steps forward and said, "How is it? I heard that you were sick last week?"
Colin nodded, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and his voice was a little hoarse,
"It's okay, it's almost all right!"
"You're so big, I can't believe you're sick too!" Andu's eyes widened, pretending to exaggerate.
"Hey, don't you know that Colin is notoriously strong on the outside and weak on the inside?"
Locke immediately interjected, causing several people to laugh for a while.
......
In the bishop's office, Ruskin sat quietly and listened intently to O'Connor's report.
“...... That's how my team members, Andu's narrative, I think it's believable. ”
O'Connor said in a calm tone, and although the narrative process was extremely ordinary, he deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "credible" at the end.
A hint of surprise flashed on Raskin's face, and a smile appeared on his slightly chubby face, as honest as a friendly uncle next door.
"But what Chade said seems to be a bit of a beginner. ”
Ruskin said with a puzzled face, and at the same time took out a brocade box from the drawer on the table.
"This was found from the corpse of that second-order demon after his death. ”
Ruskin took a strange, half-white, half-black stone out of the box and looked at O'Connor with a puzzled, inquiring look.
"After the death of the demon, the surrounding land was not polluted, and the dead girl, the corpse after the mutation did not cause any effect, these are very weird, and this demon core is the key part of it. ”
The demon core is the product of the soul crystallization of the demon in general, and after the death of the demon above the second order, the existence of the demon core will appear in the corpse.
And what is produced after the death of the monster is the magic crystal, which is two completely different items from the magic core.
However, the magic core that Ruskin took out of the brocade box was completely different from ordinary magic cores, because its color was extremely impure.
O'Connor's eyes glanced at the magic core that Ruskin had placed on the table, and then said,
"There is a big problem with this magic core, that second-order Cress demon soldier has obviously changed. ”
He paused, sorted out his words, and continued: "One of the talents he released was that he could kill a low-level purifier in one hit, and Amelia died under this kind of attack. ”
Ruskin agreed, "I think so too, but even if the second-order demon soldier mutates, Amelia is still an out-and-out berserker professional, even if his weight is far from the standard. ”
The bishop, whose expression was gradually serious, said in an unquestionable tone: "That's why I think that there are some problems in Andu's report, how could a demon who was enough to kill a first-order berserker in one blow be so easily eliminated by him and his two bodyguards?"
O'Connor kept his head down slightly, and only then did he finally lift it up slightly and talk about something else.
"Lord Bishop, aren't you curious about what the talent that the demon unleashed is?"
Ruskin's expression froze, and his brows furrowed slightly: "What is it?"
O'Connor said calmly: "That's the fifth-order talent of the demon race, the Demon Phases!"
Raskin's body trembled violently, and his protruding belly contracted for a while, and after a long time, he took a deep breath and said,
"How is that possible!"
O'Connor buried his head again: "After I went back yesterday, I consulted a lot of classics, and finally found this talent. ”
After Raskin was shocked, a trace of dissatisfaction finally appeared on his face,
"Does this have anything to do with Andu's concealment?"
O'Connor still lowered his head and said slowly: "It doesn't matter, but after encountering such an enemy, he still chose to defend Halma and did not flee the scene." ”
His tone grew firmer, even with an impassioned tone: "But Lord Bishop, he is only a judge, and he has not been in the slums for less than a month since he received the ring, and he was still living in the slums a month ago. ”
Something seemed to stir in the air, and the office became a little quiet for a while, and Ruskin looked at O'Connor calmly, not knowing what to think.
But O'Connor chose to break the silence.
"He didn't run away, he chose to fight. ”
