The red sun is setting in the west, the sunset has dyed half of the sky on the horizon red, the glow of dusk is shining on the winding river, the gentle wind is blowing through the fields, the wheat waves are surging like the tide, and the villagers who have been busy all day are singing
Singing songs and carrying farm tools back home.
The fields were covered with green grass and dotted with flowers. Farmers drove their cattle, sheep and horses into the pastures, closed the fence gates, and the howling of the shepherd dogs was very loud on the open plains.
This is Laceyland on the plains north of the Wall of Sheena. It is an idyllic scene where people live and work in peace and contentment. Two days ago, several visitors came quietly, claiming that they wanted to buy some cattle and sheep.
In a simple and plain cabin, four people were having dinner around an old camphor wood table.
Renn took a bite of the bread, picked up the glass with fresh milk, and took a sip of it for himself: "At first glance, this is really an ordinary countryside, with a stable and peaceful environment. Everyone works at sunrise and rests at sunset.
It’s just that some naughty kids are not lovable.
After staying for a long time, I became lazy and made me want to retire here."
Feili pursed her lips and smiled: "The Reis family has a good reputation, especially the eldest daughter Frieda, who has shiny black hair, is warm, kind, gentle and sincere.
Even though five years have passed, the villagers are still full of praise and regret when mentioning it."
Ren curled his lips, raised his glass and drank fresh milk: "Yes, many young people look like pig brothers when they mention it. I guess they have a lot of lust in their hearts. I am also very curious about what the goddess sister looks like.
By the way, what do you think of that incident five years ago?"
Videk touched the mustache on his chin with his hand: "Everything is weird. It is said that some group of bandits sneaked in and killed all the members of the Lacey family who were praying in the church. Only the head of the family, Rod Lacey,
Escaped.
But here comes the problem. No one has noticed any sign of the robbers at all. Moreover, what kind of robbers are so powerful that they destroyed most of the entire church? It was a wall made of bricks and stones! Even if they let go
It wouldn’t have collapsed like that even if it was caught in a fire!”
Renn sneered: "Yes, even if I come to demolish it, I will have to work until dawn, and it may not be possible to demolish it. Did that group of bandits bring cannons to rob it?
This incident was all Lord Rhodes's words, and it happened to happen on the night when Wall Maria was breached. One night not long after, Rhodes went to see his illegitimate daughter Historia for the first time.
.
How do you think the church was destroyed?"
Ymir and Fili frowned and said nothing. Videk thought thoughtfully: "Could it be a giant who demolished the church?"
"What? It shouldn't be. Reiner, Ani and the others don't seem to know much about the situation inside the wall. It was unlikely that they would have gone straight to Lacey five years ago." Feili was surprised.
Ren nodded: "I think we have overlooked an important person, Allen's father - Grisha Yeager. It just so happens that he disappeared in those few days. The doctor also knows the secrets of this world,
Put it in the basement."
"This connection is too far-fetched." Ymir interrupted.
Ren asked calmly: "Ymir, you are very concerned about Historia. Have you been here before?"
Ymir was stunned: "No, this is my first time coming to the place where she lives."
With a flash of light in his eyes, he was sure that the other party was not lying, and he had a vague answer in his mind.
Regarding Allen's father, Renn ignored the character of Dr. Grisha for a long time, until more than a month ago, when the basement of Allen's home became the target of the Survey Corps.
At present, his mental state is relatively stable. After sorting out the memories in his mind, he recalled a small detail.
"Dad became so weird after mom died!"
In the picture, Dr. Grisha is holding a syringe and seems to want to inject something into Allen...
There are a lot of doubts about the doctor, and his way of raising children is also very strange. According to Allen, when he was fighting outside, his mother would nag him very annoyingly, but his father almost never paid attention to him, and did not stop him from joining the Survey Corps.
Even took out the key to encourage...
This can also prove that the doctor met Allen once again after his disappearance and gave him the key to the basement, but Allen had no memory at all.
This man was so strange that Ren decided to find someone to verify. He didn't understand the doctor. Allen actually didn't know much about it, but someone did.
Detective Ren took out a pen and wrote down on the paper, "Doctor, basement, Titan's power, 5 years ago, the church was destroyed, Rhodes went to see Historia, the Central Military Police looked for Allen and..."
Wait for the key information.
Of course, there is a more pressing matter at the moment - getting the winner of this coup. If the leader's guess is true, this will be a game-changer.
For this reason, some people might die and shed some blood.
"Let's do it tonight. I've been following the central military police in town for several days. It's time to close the net." Ren's voice was cold, and he either didn't do something or never did it.
Videk sighed: "Unfortunately, Rod Reis has not shown up at all recently. There is only a military policeman in civilian clothes patrolling in front of the renovated church every day."
"That church is not that simple. It is probably very important. The door is locked, so we can't violently break in for the time being." Renn kept an eye on it and decided to ask the group leader to send someone to stay here after returning.
After finishing dinner early, Renn packed up a small backpack and prepared to surprise someone.
"Don't you need our help?" Ymir asked.
With a slight snort, Ren showed a calm smile: "No need, I'm a good fighter. I specialize in dealing with all kinds of dissatisfaction. I won't give the opponent a chance to draw a gun."
As the sun sets and night falls, a new moon hangs high in the sky, the stars are dotted in the sky, echoing the fireflies on the grass, and the chirping of insects is clear and sweet.
Not far outside the church, a plainly dressed middle-aged man was smoking on the grass. Ward Keel was 46 years old and a very senior Central Military Police officer. His father, Old Keele, was also a Central Military Policeman.
As a descendant of his ancestors, Mr. Ward joined the Central Military Police at a young age. He has served the True King for more than 20 years and is loyal and loyal. He has served Uli Reis, Frieda Reis, and currently Rod Ray.
Efficiency.
Mr. Ward hates Kenny Ackerman very much. That man killed more than a hundred of them back then. That's all. When Uli was king, the other party was considered hardworking and uncomplaining. But now, he is completely arrogant and treats Rhodes
Your Majesty has no fear.
Since the death of King Uri, Kanei has become very dishonest and ambitious. He has set up a force to suppress others and has his own way of doing things.
Mr. Ward also admitted that compared to Her Majesty Uli's extraordinary bearing and Her Majesty Frieda's infinite charm, Her Majesty Rhodes seems mediocre. However, he is still a noble and supreme king.
The Reis family is the bloodline of the King of the World. They have ruled the world since before humans entered the wall. They have been passed down for about 2,000 years. I would like to ask, is there any more glorious career in the world than serving the King?
It can only be said that there is a reason why Kenny did not take Ward with him. Even including Sanes, Kenny just pushed him out to attract the firepower of the Survey Corps and act as cannon fodder.
Under the moonlight, Mr. Ward smoked a cigarette and patrolled back and forth tirelessly. Although he knew that the church door was locked and it was difficult to enter by other means, his work was of little significance.
But Ward still worked hard and never rowed. For the king, whether he was suppressing dissidents, his hands were stained with blood, or he was doing boring patrols, he was content with it and had no regrets.
What he hates the most are those guys who are smart and opportunistic, as well as those who are whimsical and restless. He also doesn't like those idiots in the Survey Corps, who know how to die outside the wall every day and waste tax money.
Mr. Ward felt that if it weren't for people like them who worked hard, did the dirty work, cleaned up those restless people, banned those weird and dangerous inventions, and nipped them in the bud, how could that group of ignorant people have survived?
Enjoy a century of stable life?
Hearing that Kenny was going to deal with the Survey Corps, Ward threw away the cigarette butts and stamped out the sparks with a look of disdain, hmph, dog eats dog, it's best for them all to die.
As the night got darker and sleepiness set in, he took out his pocket watch and checked the time in the moonlight. It was ten o'clock in the evening. Today's patrol was over and the shift replacement came. He walked towards a nearby town.
My wife and children must have been waiting for a long time. He is not a good father. He actually got married late because he was very busy.
Going to the town requires walking through a small forest. Mr. Ward hummed a tune and walked leisurely along the country tree-lined path. He did not realize that an evil star from the Survey Corps was following him...
