"What happened?" Gus jumped down from the roof and faced the guard captain seriously. As for Eve and Eisenna, they didn't even look at them, as if they were ignoring them. In fact, Gus was thinking It's painful, and I'm frightened, because I'm afraid that Aisena from behind will resort to witchcraft at all costs.

He had never thought that Aisena was changing clothes in the room. If he knew that he would be beaten to death, he would not go there. This was a completely unreasonable disaster, and the position of "villain" was firmly established in Aisena's heart. , there is no possibility of overturning it.

Ice particles floated in the air, and the guard's head lowered lower, and his peripheral vision did not dare to drift forward. He could only focus on his toes, but his body was shaking more and more, and there was ice on his armor. The grains were rolling. If they hadn't just withdrawn from the northern Xinjiang and had been battle-tested, the iron spears in their hands would have been thrown away.

Gus coughed, but his expression didn't change at all. He turned to Eve and said, "It's cold, you two go back first."

"Hey." Eve agreed hurriedly, knowing that if she continued like this, someone might actually be killed. Freezing the guards to death in the city was a big crime, even if they were apprentices at Dolan Academy of Literature. After all, After all, this is also within the Massa Empire.

Eve tried her best to drag Aisena into the tavern.

When the door of the tavern closed, Gus finally breathed a sigh of relief. The terrifying look in Esenna's eyes just now, if it could turn into a knife, Gus would have been exposed.

When the guard captain saw the two people leaving, he also wiped his cold sweat. If he stayed like this, not only the guards, but also himself might make a fool of himself in public. He had already felt the smell of blood in his nose, and now he could only pretend that it was cold. Put your hands on your mouth and nose to breathe out to block the bloodshot eyes under your nose.

The captain lowered his head, unfolded the portrait in his hand, and while he was unfolding the scroll, he wiped his nose with his fingers, removing all the bloodshot eyes, and then said: "Huh, Lord Wizard, have you ever seen this person?"

The portrait was very delicate, and every wrinkle on the skinny cheeks was drawn very carefully. The look was very unfamiliar, but when Gus looked at the eyes of the portrait, he felt familiar. The shrewd and dry eyes were painted so vividly by the painter, which made Gus Gus suddenly remembered the man who had come to the store early in the morning to collect his winnings.

"He was yesterday's winner."

"That's it. His body was found just now. However, he had been dead for a long time and his body was frozen. We speculate that he was killed in the early morning." The captain put away the scroll, paused, and continued with some hesitation: "Master Wizard, there is no trace of the suspect so far. I wonder if there is any way to find him."

The captain's voice was very low. After all, as a city guard, an ordinary robbery case could not be solved. This would make the citizens of Jebeldan panic. Of course, the result of causing panic among the citizens would be to be transferred to Northern Xinjiang again. This This is the easiest way to eliminate the panic among the citizens. As long as their bosses get results, they don't care what happens to Northern Xinjiang.

As for the kind of place where people can freeze to death in winter, the captain can't even think about it. After finally coming down from northern Xinjiang, he naturally doesn't want to go to that place where birds don't poop. Oh, by the way, there's not even a shadow of a bird there. .

In fact, we can't blame them entirely for not being able to solve the case. They were just troops who came down to repair and had no experience in solving crimes. But if they encountered this kind of thing, they could only admit that they were unlucky, but the captain still had to take a chance. After all, this relationship How to spend the next three months.

So they found Gus, and looked at the guard captain's expectant eyes. Gus smiled and said nothing. He would not be involved in this matter, nor should he be involved. Although the man left the tavern, he had already handed over the money. After paying the ticket, as soon as you leave the tavern, all ties with you will be severed.

Seeing that Gus was silent, the captain gritted his teeth and continued: "Sir, I heard that someone is going to deal with you. As long as you help me this time. How about I help you find out the rest?"

Someone is dealing with him? Gus looked at him suspiciously. He had only been in Jebeldan for a few days, not to mention he had never stepped out of the tavern. He just made a drawing ticket. Although some people might hate him, they didn't have the courage to take revenge. , the power of the three wizards is not something that their adventurers can contend with.

But the captain's tone didn't sound like he was lying to himself. His mind was racing, but his heart suddenly sank. He thought of the cavalry chasing him outside the Apocalypse Army. Could it be that they were chasing him again?

The more Gus thought about it, the more likely he felt that they were the most likely. However, Sawyer City was not even close to here. Calculating the days, it would still take half a month with the speed of their cavalry.

In this case, it seems that the forces he offended before he lost his memory are quite powerful. They also have minions in Jebeldan. Gus glanced at the captain and asked tentatively: "How did you know that someone was going to deal with me?"

"Ahem..." The captain looked around, pulled Gus a few steps forward, and said mysteriously: "That's it, the city lord held a banquet last night, and I will guard it after getting the news. After drinking for three rounds, those The door on people's mouths was loosened, and the young one overheard it at that time."

"Haha, that's it. My brother is very righteous and I can't thank him enough. I'm just trying to track down the murderer. In this case, you go find a man named Phil Dan and the case will come to light." Gus didn't resist at all and said directly in exchange. Names came out. Last night, the three of them were chatting and arguing here for a long time. Coincidentally, Gus behind the door could hear every word of it.

"Oh, I can't repay you for your kindness, but it's getting late now. I'll wait for my brother to solve the case. On a good day, brothers, I'll treat you to a good drink." After receiving the news, the captain didn't dare to stay any longer. This case The delay has been very long. If the case is not closed, I believe many people will be happy to see themselves sent to Northern Xinjiang again. "Sir, I would like to remind you that it is better to leave here as soon as possible. I don't know your background, but here, the city lord It’s just God, I’m afraid that you are too weak..."

"I will think about it."

The guard left, running away, disappearing around the corner in the blink of an eye. The smile on Gus's face gradually disappeared, and he thought for a moment before opening the door of the tavern.

Eavesdropping? What a joke. The city lord would naturally have his own guards to host a banquet, but he needed protection from a soldier who had withdrawn from Northern Xinjiang?

The lord of such a big city must definitely have a title above earl, and the power behind him is even greater. Otherwise, the imperial clan would not hand over such a huge city to him. There will be no shortage of guards around him. How many more of them will be needed to hold a banquet? A small patrol of city guards to help? Besides, if the city lord is hosting a banquet, there must be some private matters involved in the transaction, so ordinary people would hear such news? If it were that easy, he wouldn't become the city lord.

There should be someone behind this group of people, otherwise they wouldn't dare to tell themselves such a big thing. If they can't solve the case, the worst they can do is go to northern Xinjiang to freeze for three months. It's not a big deal, but leaking the secret privately is a fatal matter. As long as a normal person has some brains, he will know the important order.

After opening the door, Gus was still thinking, but the cold air that hit his face suddenly woke Gus up. Eisenna sat in the middle, looking at Gus with cold eyes, and the tears in the corners of her eyes showed that she had just cried. Eve was helpless Standing beside her, but still anxious, Gus nodded towards Eisenna, turned and walked towards the attic.

"You just left?"

His voice was full of grievance. Gus turned his back to the two of them and sighed. It was his fault, but he didn't take it seriously. Was he just looking at his back? I heard that there were often dances held among the nobles, and the backs were exposed in all kinds of dresses. I didn’t hear that any noble lady committed suicide by jumping off a building!

"Gus, the Irvine family has family rules. Before getting married, you can't let anyone see your body. Otherwise, this will be the biggest insult to their future husband." Eve's voice was very weak, without any confidence at all, and she felt worried in her heart. I was even more upset. I shouldn't have gone to Gus to show off, otherwise these troubles wouldn't have happened.

For a long time, Gus scratched his head in distress, and the witch staff hit the ground with a bang. The witch robe fell down, and his strong back was exposed in the air. In an instant, he put on the witch robe and picked up the witch robe on the ground. The stick went to the attic.

Apart from "reciprocity" in this matter, Gus really can't think of any other ideas to deal with this girl. Besides, he has also suffered a lot, okay? No one has seen your body, and neither has mine. It just so happens that If you exchange one code for another, no one will lose.

Thinking of this, Gus felt a lot more at ease. Now he had no time to argue with Aisena. If that person wanted to take action through the city master, the situation would not have any advantage for him, so he had to leave as soon as possible.

Eve's face was red from suppressing it, and she was obviously trying not to laugh. Esenna's shoulders were also shaking, but this was obviously because of anger.
