She Is Not a Witch - Vol 3 Chapter 101
In the night, a figure was running fast in the streets.
In the wee hours of the night, this hasty and rapid footsteps were particularly noticeable. When some guards patrolling the intersection of the street heard them, they immediately shouted together.
“You! Stop, what are you doing, if you run again, you will kill it.” The voice was eager and fast.
Hearing the yelling sound behind him, the adventurer in hunting outfit stopped and ran faster instead.
He flexibly jumped up to the low wall on the side, and then approached the city wall, ready to find a gap and force a breakthrough.
Although Viscount Mo Ruo was a real noble, he did not raise too many guards. Although there are people on duty on the city walls, they are scattered around, with only two or three people per 100 meters.
“Grab him!” Seeing the figure leaping up the city wall, an anxious shout came from the street, and the people on duty on the city wall also reacted and began to gather here.
The iron lock jacket and the piece of armor rubbed against each other as they ran, and some guards began to take out their portable crossbows and aimed at the figure that was constantly jumping and running in the dark night.
Whoosh—
After a few bows, the arrow cut through the air and shot in the past. The tip of its arrow shone with a little blue light, like a reflective glass, which suddenly sank into the right chest of the adventurer, causing him to groan, and then his body Fell off.
“Chase!”
Several black-clothed sergeants speeded up again, leaped over the long arc, and rushed to the place where the figure fell.
“Yeah!” In the dark alley, the adventurer drew out the knife in his hand, and a bright and dangerous red light attached to it, and then he was in the shape of electricity, facing the black-clothed sergeants who were pursuing him. Demon sequences have always been so dangerous, both for people and for themselves.
Clang clang—
There was a fierce collision in the alley, sparks flashed in the dark, followed by a few hurtful grunts.
‘Cut and Kill Array! In the moment of a brief stalemate, another man in black rushed at the entrance of the alley, with epaulettes on his body, and he seemed to be an officer.
Under the command of this newly joined officer, several sergeants who were hunting down immediately changed their shapes, and the sabers of several people showed pale magic at the same time, twisting the space with threads, and then cut them down continuously in a very high-speed manner. The narrow space is divided into several areas.
The blood splashed abruptly, wet the walls and the ground, and the adventurer who had resisted fell down with a startled look. There were several open wounds on his body, sharp and neat.
A sergeant stepped forward and checked the body again before turning around.
“My lord, he is dead.” In fact, this sergeant is a bit confused. According to the form just now, it is obvious that he can catch alive, but why suddenly use the combined combat technique of’cutting and killing array’ to remove this A sinner was killed on the spot.
“Yeah.” The young officer looked at it before giving an explanation.
“We have already caught the other one, this one is unnecessary.”
Afterwards, the night in the small town became calm again, and the streets became quieter and quieter, and no one dared to show up and run around at will. Even those restless little **** know that now is a very time, if one can’t handle it, they will die.
Inside the castle, the lights were brightly lit. Viscount Moruo was sitting in the Lord’s Hall. There were two rows of fully armored guards standing around him. These people were direct family members of their family. Only under the protection of these sequence three guards, Viscount Moruo could get a little bit. sense of security.
Nowadays, besides Viscount Mo Ruo, there are several other people in the hall, one is Miss Charlene from the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce, one is an official of the Imperial Army, and there is Kevin who is kneeling in the middle of the hall.
The original captain of the guard was tied with a rope at this moment, and there were still traces of the whipping on his body. The red scars, some of them cracked directly, and the dark red scarred blood remained in them.
“Useless things!” Viscount Mo Ruo firmly gathered the wine glass in his hand with his hands, wishing to crush it.
After a while, he calmed down a bit and drank the dark red and transparent wine.
“Is this the way you give back? Captain Kevin Guard! With so many subordinates and such tight protection, people have stolen things. It is hard not to doubt whether you are colluding with outsiders?”
Viscount Mo Ruo sat on the high throne, looking down at the negligent captain of the guard Kevin.
“I… I’m sorry.” Kevin lowered his head and panted, replied hoarsely, and then lowered his head.
“Humph!”
Viscount Mo Ruo looked at this familiar face with a poisonous fire in his heart. Thanks to his trust in this subordinate, the thief stole such a crucial thing.
What made him even more anxious and uncomfortable was that the imperial army’s investigators were now in the city. These people directly took orders from the royal family and were not easy to get along with.
If one is not good, the existence of the ruins will be exposed, and then it will not be the ordinary nobleman like him can get involved.
Thinking of this, he felt
The fire in my heart has grown a lot.
“What’s the situation in the city? Have you found any suspicious people?” After a pause and calmed down his emotions, the viscount asked the housekeeper on the side.
“My lord, wait a minute, someone has already been contacted.” The butler stooped to answer.
“Well, I’ll wait for a while.” He closed his eyes and leaned on the throne behind him, and the hall fell silent.
A few minutes later, there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside, and then there was the sound of a little piece of armor colliding.
Viscount Mo Ruo opened his eyes, and a guard came in a hurry to report.
“I got it, sir.” He breathed and reported, and several investigators in black cloaks and black armor came behind him.
“Viscount Moruo, I found some traces.” The search officer then stepped aside and pushed an embarrassed adventurer forward. There were still traces of blood and tears on his clothes, which seemed to be an experience. There was a fight.
“What about things?” Viscount Mo Ruo didn’t care about people’s problems, he only had to take back that precious magical creation.
“He admitted that he stole the thing, but hid it elsewhere.” The investigator said the answer he had just received in the interrogation.
“Yes.” The adventurer spit, then raised his head to look at the little old man in front of him.
“You must guarantee my life before I will tell you where I am hiding.”
Hearing this answer, Mo Ruo’s face was cold, he didn’t speak, and stared coldly at the shabby-clothed adventurer.
“You are not an ordinary person.”
After a while, Viscount Mo Ruo said in a low voice.
“I am familiar with you guys. If you are an ordinary adventurer, you would never do this kind of extremely risky thing, and you would not know the situation in the castle.”
“You should be a thief or an assassin cultivated by a certain organization to have such courage.” Viscount Mo Ruo is not one of those pleasurable vase nobles, he knows the lower classes of these empires.
“Let me think about it, in Long Wing Province, there are not many organizations with such intelligence capabilities.”
“Except for some good and timid chambers of commerce, that is, you snakes in the woods can be so keen.”
Compared to before, Viscount Mo Ruo would calm down instead. He leaned on the back of his chair, crossed his hands in front of him, raised and pressed them from time to time, analyzing and thinking calmly.
“‘Poison lizard’,’blindfolded’ or’fire-eyed warbler’? Other small organizations can’t support a good hand like you.” He said a few names, and then asked him to check his weapons and belongings. .
Several guards held down the adventurer, and then searched and pulled them all the time. They placed everything neatly on the ground, including small hooks, ropes, flints, daggers in boots, small magic spars, and small alchemists that played sounds. Creations, whistles, coins, chalk, knives, wound medicine powder, mosquito repellent spices, clean gauze.
After searching for things, Viscount Mo Ruo’s gaze slowly swept over, and then he slowly spoke.
“It seems that you are not a ‘poison lizard’. You didn’t have poison on your body and you didn’t commit suicide. Although I can’t guess the remaining two, they are easy to deal with.”
“Come here, cut off his hands and give them to the two organizations separately, and ask them to come forward to clarify, otherwise, he will see his body hanging from the city gate in a week.” Viscount Mo Ruo’s face was covered. The shadow of the fingers obscured the part, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
In this era, although disability is not incurable, it is because people with Angel Sequence 7 and above are required to take action, and such noble people are basically not accessible to the underlying organizations. In this way, this person’s life is considered a waste, but compared to his dead companion, or a little luckier?
“Ah, no!” After hearing such an order, the held adventurer struggled violently, but the guards beside him held him firmly to prevent him from struggling.
Then, two axe sounds sounded, a hoarse scream sounded in the hall, and then it fell silent again.
Seeing the man who collapsed on the ground, Viscount Moruo asked him to take him down.
“Let the priest in the city give him a simple treatment, don’t die soon.”
“Yes, sir.” The guard replied with a fist, and then dragged the man down.
After the treatment, Viscount Mo Ruo’s mood eased a little, but he felt a little irritable when he thought that things had not yet returned to his hands.
“Any other findings? Investigator Pansy.” He looked at the experienced soldier in the lobby.
This capable soldier watched all this with cold eyes, and didn’t speak until then. “Not yet, but I want the lord to seal the city for a few more days, maybe I can get new clues.”
“Naturally, even if you don’t mention it, I will continue to seal the city.” Viscount Mo Ruo nodded and asked the steward on the side to order the matter.
Then he looked at the blood stains on the ground and stood up to go back to rest.
“Master Moruo.” The search officer called to the viscount.
“What’s up?”
“Can you briefly say, is there any key treasure lost?”
“This is the secret of our family, so please don’t inquire about it, Master Investigator. Perhaps you should focus your attention on another aspect, such as the bugs that set fire to the fire, or the descendants of the red dragon.”
After speaking, he turned and left, taking away a group of guards in the hall behind him.
“Don’t you want to say…” Seeing the figure gradually disappearing into the shadow, the investigator slowly tasted it, and it took him a long time to leave here.
As Viscount Moruo said, they should really focus on those bugs. Although the fly camp among the nobles looked unprofitable, compared with the rebellions that were set off, this kind of thing was nothing more than a trivial matter.
Not long after the beginning of the year, riots broke out in Zishan province, and there were uprisings in several surrounding provinces. The nobles of the local fiefs carried out difficult suppression, and they were able to suppress the flames of these uprisings. Soon afterwards, the descendants of the Red Dragon in the southern border also set off large and small rebellions. Among them, the so-called descendants of the Baska family were true and false, which made people annoyed.
For this reason, for the stability of the South, the Regent specifically asked the military to set up a search agency. Several powerful and professional search teams patrolled the empire to capture possible Mars, and they were one of them.
———
On the other side of the city, the storm of the search gradually calmed down, and the sky was bright again.
“Is Miss Messia here?” Lorrain Hill, who had just risen early in the morning. I heard Miss Charlene looking for her voice.
“Yes.” She bit her hair band, looked at the vanity mirror, and quickly tied the hair behind her head, then tied it, and then walked out the door.
Miss Charlene is still dressed as she used to be, with a knitted waistcoat on her shoulders and a dark dress. She is decent while keeping a low profile.
Miss Charlene looked at Lorrain Hill. The blond lady swordsman was still so cute. “Will you have a rest last night?”
“not bad.”
“That’s good.” Miss Charlene tapped her forehead with her finger.
“It is estimated that there will be a lot of things lately. How about going to breakfast together, I’ll talk to you.”
“Yeah.” Then the two walked downstairs.
When they came to a place in the yard, the members of the caravan were already ready earlier, and Charlene asked to bring two copies.
After eating bread briefly, Miss Charlene began to tell what she had learned last night.
“In the beginning, I was also called by Viscount Mo Ruo to check some conditions. After all, it is our Chamber of Commerce that has been in and out of the castle more recently.”
“But fortunately, Viscount Mo Ruo didn’t doubt us much, and soon paid attention to other things.”
“Kevin is miserable this time. It is estimated that he will be punished and shut down for a period of time. But in my opinion, there is no need to worry too much. After all, he is also an old man of the Mo Ruo family, and his grandfather has served the Mo Ruo family.”
“Although Viscount Mo Ruo is very angry now, he wouldn’t kill him for it.”
“But I’m afraid it’s not that simple for others. When I stayed there yesterday, I saw an adventurer who was arrested. He seemed to be from a certain organization…” The young lady talked about the situation last night with lingering fears.
“These nobles, don’t look at their usual pleasant looks, but if they really offend them, they will become savage and bloody.”
“The recent lockdown of the city has to continue for some time. If you can, Messia still don’t run around, just stay here to avoid causing concern.”
“Thank you Miss Charlene.” Lorraine Hill expressed his gratitude, and then hesitated for a while before asking.
“Why does Miss Charlene take care of me so much.” In fact, they didn’t know each other for a long time.
Miss Charlene blinked after listening, looked at Lorrain Hill and laughed again.
“Why? Because I am a businessman.”
“Messia is very unconscious about certain things. In the South, how many geniuses do you think can reach Sequence 5 before the age of 20.”
“A genius like you, in a few years, I am afraid that he will become a big figure that I can’t climb. And it’s so beautiful, maybe one day a prince will look at him and become the mistress of a certain family. ”
“So, naturally we have to make a good relationship now.” Miss Charlene smiled calmly. These days, she gradually understands the character of this Messia. If she uses other rhetoric to fool it, I am afraid it will only tarnish this one. Flawless gems.
“Maybe in the future, you will become my supporter for this weak woman.” After she finished speaking, Miss Charlene tapped her chest with her fingers, expressing her pity and weakness. But such behavior is really not convincing.
