Chapter 408 407. Gathering in a Tavern
Three days later in the afternoon, Karl and Suldak sat obediently on chairs in the office of Captain Sauron of the Guard Battalion.
The room was very warm. Captain Sauron was wearing a thin cotton shirt. The collar of the shirt was open, revealing solid bronze-colored muscles. He was practicing slashing against a wooden dummy. Constant muffled sound.
It wasn't until this group of slashing was done that Captain Sauron handed the iron-wood sword to the assistant beside him, took the towel and wiped the sweat off his face, and then smiled at Suldak who was sitting honestly on the chair. Said: "I regret it a little now. I sent you to the barren land so easily as a sheriff there. If you can stay in Hailansa City, maybe it will better reflect your value."
Suldak smiled, but did not speak.
He knew that Isaac finally woke up this morning, and the investigation task of this matter has been officially handed over from the Fifth Squadron to the support team outside the city. Baron Miller was rather reluctant about this, but Captain Sauron overcame all objections and asked Karl to be in charge of the follow-up investigation of the Fornak Manor.
For a long time, Suldak has been mainly studying at the Knight Academy, and basically does not participate in the daily affairs of the guard camp, but this time Captain Sauron asked Karl to find Suldak from the Knight Academy. There is a task.
Captain Sauron sat on a chair, took a sip of the lemon tea handed over by his assistant, and then said to Karl and Suldak: "I called you this time to deal with the Fornak Manor. The thing is, the manor is almost deserted now, and you should have heard about Isaac’s injury, and yesterday I went to the Fornaker manor to investigate again, but unfortunately nothing was found.”
Captain Sauron rubbed his forehead in distress, and said: "Although the death of Earl Fonak was closed at the beginning, the evil spirit that stabbed Isaac this time looks a lot like Earl Fonak. I’m afraid we need to investigate more carefully.”
"It may be that the coercion and breath on my body frighten the evil spirits, so this time I need you to lure the evil spirits out. I will lurk outside the manor. If you lure out the evil spirits, send me a signal. I will This time, we are going to completely eliminate this hidden danger!"
"Yes, Captain!" Karl and Suldak stood up straight, and said to Sir Saul.
…
The proprietress of the tavern saw Carl and Suldak walking in side by side, so she prepared golden cider and craft ale for them respectively. Suldak had drunk in this tavern twice, and she had already remembered Suldak Dak liked it, and pushed over a plate of salted nuts. Suldak sat on the high stool and was not in a hurry to drink. He directly pulled out the peeling knife from his lap and began to peel the nuts on the plate one by one. Arrange on a plate.
The proprietress of the tavern has a very attractive and beautiful face, elegant and generous, but always maintains a silent distance. Suldak has been here several times, and the conversation between the two did not exceed three sentences, and Karl was the only one. When he was there, the proprietress would come across to Karl to have a chat with him, and as long as there were other people around, she would avoid to the other side of the bar.
Karl told Suldak about the process of the Fornak Manor from prosperity to decline. About a year ago, the old Earl Fornak died in an accident. Various situations happened one after another in this manor, and he inherited all the property The little Viscount Funak believed that there were undead monsters hidden in this house, and moved to live in a house in the city, and the Funak Manor was completely abandoned. During this year, the Funak Manor was continuously sent to auctions. But I don't know why it has not been sold.
"I heard that in the summer, the Fornac Manor was haunted, but it was said that it was cleaned up by a magician at that time." Carl raised his glass, toasted a glass of wine with an acquaintance in the distance, and took a sip of the wine , Then he said to Suldak: "Is it possible that the necromancer's servant sneaked into the Funak manor and turned into the old Earl Funak to harm people?"
He asked casually: "The little Viscount Fornak has been living in the city of Hailansa?"
Karl also made some detailed investigations on little Furnak. He took out a stack of documents from his arms, pulled out a piece of paper, looked at the densely packed text on it, and said to Suldak: "Little Fu Nak, that guy is a coward!"
"When old Furnak died, Captain Saul told him that the cause of old Furnak's death was suspicious, but he was probably afraid that those people would retaliate against him, so he didn't follow up on the suspicious points, and he usually lived in seclusion. , has been living in the residence in Hailansa City and rarely goes out, and there is no social interaction, and even the property outside the city is taken care of by a housekeeper." Carl sneered, and continued: "But it is said that he is Bena The swordsmen who graduated from the Advanced Swordsman Academy have superb swordsmanship, but they rarely show it in front of outsiders."
Surdak did not expect to be another swordsman who graduated from the Bena Province Advanced Swordsman Academy. It is said that this is a gold-lettered signboard of the Bena Province Advanced Swordsman Academy. Unfortunately, Suldak did not see the Outstanding people coming out of the academy.
Suldak smiled and said: "The graduates of Benar Advanced Swordsman Academy, who inherited all the family property of the old Earl Funak, did not have the slightest merit, so that the title was lowered by one level, which is really unreasonable! "
Ms. Christie and Miss Brenda walked in from the outside, and when they saw Carl and Suldak chatting in whispers, they squeezed and sat down between them, and said to Carl with a smile, "What are you two talking about?"
"Business, I will go out of town with Duck tomorrow to investigate the incident." Karl unceremoniously refused Mrs. Christie's question.
At this time, the lady proprietress of the tavern pushed over two glasses of wine. Mrs. Christie picked up the glass and took a sip with Miss Brenda. Having been freed from the grief of Baron Llewellyn's death, seeing Suldak alone, he asked him, "Knight Suldak, why isn't your wife here?"
Suldak said: "She is not very good at drinking."
Seeing that Suldak didn't intend to continue the conversation, Miss Brenda could only sigh softly in her heart. If you miss it, it may be difficult to catch it back.
Mrs. Christie next to her also gave her a helpless look, and when she thought that her niece, Miss Darcy, also had some ambiguous relationship with this Suldak knight, Mrs. Christie felt a headache. In fact, from her From the point of view of her heart, Mrs. Christie prefers that Miss Brenda can maintain a lover relationship with Suldak, while it is better for Darcy to withdraw.
Daxi's life should have a better and broader future, but what can Suldak give her.
Mrs. Christie and the tavern proprietress looked at each other. The tavern proprietress just pushed over two glasses of wine, and then put herself out of the way and didn't participate. Carl asked: "How many days are you going to go out this time? In such a cold day, you must bring more fire-type magic scrolls that can keep you warm."
Carl smiled slightly, and said: "I don't know yet, I might be able to come back overnight. If it doesn't go well, I might stay there for three or two days, but it definitely won't be too long."
Mrs. Christie whispered next to Carl's ear, "Then I'll go back to the castle for two days."
