"Bernardo, what did you do? It's been several days and there's no clue or even any progress?"
In the tree house of the Captain of the 7th Brigade of the First Druid Legion, Bernardo's Captain was making a fuss. The Earth Druid, who seemed to have become quite haggard over the past few days, stood up anxiously.
, kept walking around the house.
"Did you know that Lord Malfurion, the president of the legion, has issued a death order and we must find the culprit! How can we explain to you if we continue like this?"
He looked at Bernardo and said sadly.
…
"Sir, there is really nothing we can do..."
Bernardo, who also looked extremely haggard, immediately raised his head: "We are not police officers after all, so we can still fight. Finding the murderer is unprofessional..."
"Your Excellency also ordered us not to leak the news. You know, the Ranger Legion almost couldn't suppress it because the news leaked. Not to mention, they attacked our camp several times. The Nature Goddess cultists even swarmed and almost turned into the Nature Goddess several times.
A large-scale brawl between the believers and our Goddess of Life Cult.”
"So, we can't even ask the police to assist in the investigation - we really have to dig up the ground in the next few days."
He said with full of grievance.
…
"Are you sure the news didn't leak?"
The captain's expression became increasingly angry.
"No, I ordered everyone not to leave the camp. How could the news leak out..."
Bernardo asked in confusion.
"But the High Priest of Life had already approached Lord Malfurion yesterday, asking about this matter. Lord Malfurion was made disgraced! Although the two brothers who died were our soldiers, they were also His Majesty Tyrande.
We are loyal believers, and we all believe in the great His Majesty Tyrande. Therefore, the High Priest of Life has enough reasons to question this matter - but how did he know?"
The captain said angrily.
…
"impossible……"
Bernardo was immediately speechless.
The captain sighed quietly: "Bernardo, I have always trusted your ability. In short, this leak of information may have nothing to do with you. After all, people talk a lot, and your squadron's actions plus our disappearance
Two people, if someone pays attention, they will understand, and I don't blame you for that."
"But it is really urgent to find the murderer - the high priest was furious yesterday and ordered Commander Malfurion to either prove that it was not the rangers who did it, or..."
…
"The Goddess of Nature has bullied us with that fictitious murder case. They obviously killed two people in retaliation this time, but they can only swallow their anger and find the murderer. Therefore, the high priest is already very dissatisfied. He
Order us to take decisive action to fight back against all this if we cannot find the real culprit within three days!"
"You know the situation in the country. The Goddess of Nature is becoming more and more aggressive. The barbarians are trying to take away our lives. The church is also struggling with these things. If we continue to be weak, the Goddess of Life will
I’m afraid the brilliance will no longer be able to bloom on this land of life, do you understand?”
He looked at Bernardo and warned him repeatedly. His expression was full of solemnity.
…
"But Captain, I always think it was not the rangers who did it - Lord Cenarius would be so stupid? Let the rangers carry out such bloody revenge for a murder not done by us? This is not in line with that lord's style, then
It is impossible for an adult to have such weak control over the rangers."
"This looks more like a conspiracy to prevent chaos in the world."
Bernardo bit his lower lip. He said.
"But we need evidence, and all the evidence now points to the Ranger!"
The captain said angrily.
…
"You have also examined the bodies of the two brothers. It is true that an arrow pierced the throat, and it is indeed an archery skill that can only be mastered by rangers - if it were anyone else, they would be able to target the target in the deep dark night and in a very far place.
An archdruid shoots an arrow through the throat? Such archery skills are unheard of!"
"Even if we point suspicion at everyone: humans use their weird magic firearms. They never use bows and arrows, and they are thousands of miles away from us. The barbarians only like to fight in close quarters, and there have never been any arrows.
It is impossible for a master of archery to have such a superb dark night archery. And in our country, only among the rangers can there be such an outstanding archery master!"
"And the arrowhead left at the scene is also the standard armor-piercing arrowhead of the rangers. It has just undergone a series of disguised changes - but this is even more obvious! We just can't find definite evidence, but this
Everything points suspicion to the Ranger Legion! Damn the Ranger Legion!"
He said with great anger.
…
"But I always feel... everything is too coincidental... You see, two of the rangers disappeared at first, and it looked very much like our people did it - we have searched the whole legion to make sure it was not us.
Then, two of us suddenly disappeared, and it looked like it was done by the rangers. What a coincidence..."
Bernardo murmured.
"It's a coincidence, but it's also logical! The rangers have enough motives to carry out this murder. Various phenomena show that only they have the corresponding ability to complete this shameless murder!"
"In short, Lord Malfurion has given permission. If no evidence can be found within three days - as long as no evidence can be found to prove that the rangers did not do it, then no matter what we get, we will launch a campaign against the despicable rangers.
Fight back! The upper echelons of the church are extremely angry. If we let the Natural God Sect continue to be so rampant and if we continue to swallow our anger, we will have no place to stand!"
The captain was categorical.
…
"But... this is very likely to cause our country's two major legions and two major sects to fall into crazy internal fighting. It will also cause our own people to fight our own people, and blood will flow -"
Bernardo was nagging, but was interrupted by the angry voice of the captain: "But we have been forced to retreat! Over the past few hundred years, the Goddess of Nature has been rapidly expanding with the support of the late king, and has oppressed us everywhere.
We don’t know why the late king did this, but out of respect for the royal power, we all swallowed it up!”
"But now we have discovered that blind tolerance can only encourage their arrogance - if they frame us and kill our people for no reason, we will still swallow it! What kind of believers in life are we?! Tai
His Majesty Rand’s glory has been trampled upon by them!”
Bernardo looked at the captain's furious expression and stopped talking.
"Ok, I see."
Finally, after mumbling a few times, he nodded with a heavy face.
~~~~~~~~~
In the dim dark room, the faint smell of blood lingered for a long time.
Bernardo stared blankly at the corpses of the two druids who had been kept in their dead state by the elves using the secret method of life.
They seemed to have encountered something unexpected at that time, with expressions of astonishment on their faces. A white-feathered sharp arrow was stuck deeply in their throats. They looked very young and in their prime, and they were devout believers of the goddess of life.
, the proud pillar of two happy families.
But they died in a despicable murder, and the murderer could not even be found.
Bernardo's expression trembled violently.
…
After a long while, he took a deep breath.
"He-Man, are you sure it was the Rangers who did it?"
He turned to a young druid who looked like a team leader and asked.
"Yes, my lord."
The green face of the young Druid known as Seaman was full of anger: "As you know, my family is a family of detectives, and they are especially good at tracking down the culprit through clues. I was fortunate enough to be selected by my great Druid Legion.
He is also my father's right-hand man.
"This is definitely the work of the ranger. Look at the strength and the angle at the throat. Except for armor-piercing arrows plus the ranger's archery skills, no one in this world can do this!"
The young druid pointed to the scars on the bodies of the two druids for Bernardo and said angrily.
…
"Maybe... is it framed by someone else?"
Bernardo's face trembled, and he took a deep breath again and asked.
"Sir, this is impossible!"
Seaman retorted angrily.
"Someone has to frame it? Let's start with the most outrageous thing."
"Barbarians regard strength as life. They never disdain to use weapons like bows and arrows that can hurt people in secret. You also know that for more than a thousand years, have we ever seen any barbarians use bows and arrows? They have no tradition of using bows and arrows at all.
Anyone who uses a bow and arrow will be despised by others - under such circumstances, it is impossible for anyone to have such superb archery skills."
…
"And the more outrageous humans? Huh, although they also have power, they rely more on those mysterious magic guns. Otherwise, one of us can beat ten of them. We have to admit that although their magic guns are not as powerful as ours,
The bow and arrow are powerful but easy to master. But because of this, neither the weak nor the strong humans have the habit of using bows and arrows."
"So, this can only be done by people of our own clan - but in our clan, except for the advanced military magic archery of the Ranger Legion, which has extremely high magic energy infusion techniques and speed skills, who else can do it?"
To kill two of our warriors with an arrow through their throats before they even let out a scream?"
Seaman said angrily, but then he hesitated: "But, sir, I just found something suspicious..."
he hesitated.
…
"What?"
Bernardo looked over immediately.
"This is not like the power of a star. You know, arrows have a flight process and will fly slower and slower. But you see, these two arrows are straight at the cervical spine - this is at least the power of the earth."
"What's even more suspicious is that the expressions of the two brothers before they were killed also prove this - they only had time to make expressions of shock. From this look, this is simply a speed that can only be caused by the magic power above the earth."
"But the rangers...arranged for Daichi to come up and snipe two little druids - Daichi is already a captain-level figure. It is easy to expose him, and it seems superfluous...even if they want bloody revenge.
, wouldn’t choosing a star rating be both hidden and difficult to trace, but also more than enough?”
Seaman pointed to the arrows that penetrated the necks of the two druids' bodies and said hesitantly.
…
"Then did you find anything else?"
Bernardo suddenly asked with surprise on his face.
"No, after all, this is just a wound. The fact that I can see so much is due to my deep family background. Sir, I just guessed the identity of the murderer and the circumstances based on the wound. It is impossible to see it in person."
"So, I just feel a little suspicious - but at least all the clues we have found so far do point to the rangers."
Seaman shook his head and said helplessly.
…
"Guessing based on the wound... is like seeing it with your own eyes..."
Bernardo murmured inexplicably.
He suddenly looked down at his arms.
Where his eyes focused, several circles of white gauze were surrounding his arms. (To be continued...)
