My nemesis tempts me every day

Chapter 57 Investigating Witnesses

The leader of the rebel army, Laird, has worked on this floating island for more than ten years. Before today's bad news came, he always thought that this job was much easier and simpler than he imagined.

Their army was originally organized by the people spontaneously, and then it gradually expanded and became more and more wings. They made some deals with the Duke's Mansion of Amphelos, who governed the floating island, and replaced the Duke's mansion to guard a part of the floating island. In this way, you can deal with the nobles to broaden your communication, and you can also receive a generous salary from the Duke.

For the past ten years, what Laird had to do every day was to set off from the rising sun with his fully armed army, and then follow the winding road around the floating island to inspect the large and small houses and shops on the island one by one. If criminals are found, they will be caught and sent to the headquarters for reform. If not, they can finish their work before sunset, and then go to a hotel or bar to ask for a barrel of wine to spend the time that belongs to adults.

Yes, until today, their lives are still the same as before, sloppy and ordinary...

If the blade is not sharpened, it will be eroded by wine and meat. This is exactly the case with the rebel army led by Laird. The too long peace and stability made them forget their original duties. Just the night before the incident, they were still holding wine bottles Drunk with girls in a small shop shrouded in night.

If the routine of more than ten years is not broken, Laird has no doubt that his fat job can continue until he retires.

However, his beautiful daily life has ceased to exist since today.

——The Duke's Mansion of Amphelos will not need waste like them.

Thinking of this, Laird also became terrified when he looked at the two young masters Amphelos.

He doesn't want to lose his knighthood yet!I don't want to lose such a leisurely job!

With endless fear and remorse, this 1.9-meter-tall man walked up to Golando and Ronoye with a dejected face. He lowered his head heavily and blamed himself in a heartbroken tone: "It's me. Negligence of duty, our people failed to notice the infiltrating monster last night, so that it caused such disastrous consequences, I am willing to bear the responsibility with all my strength, and... I hope the two young masters will be lightly punished."

Behind Ronoye, Golando sneered at the hypocrisy of the rebel leader in front of him with his mouth slanted.

The other party was obviously not sincerely apologizing. Just looking at his bloated appearance and cloudy eyes, Gorlando dared to conclude that this so-called rebel army was absolutely not worthy of its name.

What he said was to bear it with all his strength, most of it was to show pity to the two noble young masters, and the last sentence of "sent down lightly" in the speech was his real purpose.

But neither of the two main audiences was making sense of the army captain's words.

Ronoye's attention was still on the corpses on the ground. He waved his hands in a daze to let the other rebels clean up the scene. Gustav's eyes were even more blurred. See any image, as if still immersed in deep thoughts.

Glando glanced at the two young masters each, walked up to the rebel leader Laird with his hands in his hands, and asked, "Didn't your people witness anything strange before the incident? Listen to your tone... You should have been guarding near the hotel last night, right?"

Laird was waiting with his head bowed. When he saw an extra pair of feet in front of him, he immediately instinctively judged from the high-quality material of the upper and the exquisite pattern on the bottom of the trousers that this person was also a nobleman, but this was the only problem...

Laird's back felt chilly, and beads of sweat from nervousness leaked from the top of his head.

The young masters from the Duke's Mansion arrived. Since the rebels had collected the money, they should have been guarding the hotel to protect the safety of the two distinguished guests, but...but they were careless last night!Except for the new recruit who was waiting at the end, everyone else spent the night in the store, how can they answer the question of this strange nobleman?

Laird's tongue was numb, and he stammered: "Last night...we were indeed patrolling outside the hotel...but, but it is possible that the person who saw that monster has not come with us now."

As he spoke, the sweat was dripping down continuously.

Glando watched closely the rebel leader's expression in silence, and after hearing the flawed statement, he sneered contemptuously.

Laird trembled guiltily.

"Where's the witness?" Golando asked.

He behaved very kindly, but the tall and mighty leader of the rebel army was so frightened that he couldn't stand on his feet.

Gorlando couldn't help but despise him even more.

"He's still in the recruit dormitory at the headquarters...I'll send someone to call him right away." Laird hesitated.

"no need."

Gustav spoke suddenly.

Laird almost raised his head in doubt, but Golando and Ronoye turned their gazes to Gustav.

"I want to meet him in person, you lead the way."

After Gustav finished speaking, he walked forward with his hands behind his back.

Laird was stunned for half a second before he came to his senses. He seemed to have caught a chance, his eyes shone brightly, and he hurriedly followed Gustav's pace.

"Shall we go too?" Ronoye asked Golando.

Gorlando couldn't help but grab the young master's hand: "Of course."

The moment the skins of the two touched, Gorlando felt that Ronoye shrank his wrist.

He pretended to ignore this detail, pulled the young master down the steps outside the hotel, and walked through the corpses.

"I think your second brother wants to know more about that fallen angel." Golando said as he walked.

If the eyewitnesses' information matched Ronoye's conjecture, then the bloodbath of the hotel must have been the "masterpiece" of the Inquisitor.

If it is really confirmed in this way, they may have to speed up their journey, and infinite changes may occur every minute and every second.

He couldn't put Ronoye in danger.

—not for Fergar, but for himself.

On the way, Gorlando also imagined the scene where the recruit had been silenced after arriving at the dormitory. Fortunately, the flag he set up did not come true. When everyone arrived, the recruit was soundly asleep on the bed.

After breaking into the dormitory and finding the recruits sleeping, Laird felt a bit embarrassed, and the three nobles next to him were still silent and silent, which made Laird even more embarrassed.The result of being at a loss was to rage, Laird angrily walked towards the sleeping recruit, slipped the collar of the recruit with one hand, and shouted at the highest decibel he could: "Stinky boy, look who is here!"

The poor recruit suddenly woke up from Laird's roar, unexpectedly when he opened his eyes, he saw the big face of the rebel captain, so frightened that he turned over and fell under the bed.

"Team, Captain!"

The recruit hurriedly got up, and after seeing the three people behind Laird clearly, he stood there dumbfounded.

This kind of dress and temperament must be noble!

The recruit was on patrol last night with the strength of alcohol, and he came back to sleep in a daze after finishing his work, so he didn't know the tragedy that happened in the hotel. He couldn't figure out the reason why several nobles came to him right now. All I could do was wait for the roll call with my hands folded and trembling.

At this moment, Gustav made a move. He rudely pushed Laird away, and asked the trembling recruit, "Did you see anything strange during your patrol last night?"

The recruit's heart skipped a beat, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"I……"

His voice was painful, and the arc of his body shaking became wider.

Gorlando was thoughtful upon seeing this.

The recruit didn't look like he wanted to recall what he had seen last night.

Laird kicked the recruit anxiously and scolded: "Is this hard to say! Master Amphelos, you can answer whatever you ask, and you are moaning because you don't want to do it here!"

The actions of the leader of the rebel army made Ronoye show a disgusted expression.

He gave Laird a hard look and said, "Shut up."

Laird moved his lips in surprise, and wanted to say something else. Gorlando had already stretched out his foot as he did to the recruits just now, and the toe hadn't touched Laird's leg. The latter exclaimed and took the initiative to avoid the corner, and kept begging for mercy from the three of them.

Ronoye pursed his lips, and the disgust on his face became even worse.

He tried his best to ignore the ugly humanoid dregs in the corner, and said soothingly to the recruits, "Think slowly, we'll wait for your answer."

The recruit's complexion improved a bit, he organized his words, and said in a trembling voice: "Last night... I vaguely saw a... very scary monster."

"Oh?" Gorlando raised his eyebrows, "Describe the characteristics."

The recruit unconsciously took a step back: "It's too dark, I couldn't see clearly... Plus I drank some wine..."

Gustav let out a "huh": "Wine?"

Gorland then squinted at the captain of the rebel army.

The recruit didn't realize it, and explained: "Ah, it's like this, we follow the captain every night..."

"Cough cough cough-"

Laird coughed nervously and interrupted the recruit.

Gorlando ignored him and said, "Don't pay attention to him, just keep talking."

However, the recruits understood Laird's hint, and instead focused on the sighting information: "I only saw that monster in the moonlight, which was stronger than an adult man, with very long nails growing on its two hands. , and he has three wings on his back."

With three nobles suppressing the captain, the recruit felt less afraid, and the narrative became much smoother.

"Three Wings..." Ronoye gasped, "Is there anything else?"

"No more." The recruit replied firmly.

Gustav closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then turned and walked towards the door.

"Second brother?" Ronoye was taken aback for a moment, and Gustav had "floated" outside the door in just a moment.

Gorlando leaned over and hugged the young master's shoulders and said in a low voice, "Let's go too, your second brother should have gotten what he wanted."

Ronoye and Golando looked at each other for a while, then nodded hesitantly.
