Griffith and the others waited for a long time before they were freed from the shackles of the solidified mucus. If Griffith hadn't stopped him, Lana and Murat, who were so ashamed and angry, would have chopped up Jaros, whose mouth was full of broken teeth.
Turn into meat paste.
"We need to find out what he knows," Griffith said, "and how our whereabouts could be known to a street gangster."
"This is not an ordinary street gangster," Sonia watched as the white solidified material turned into powder in front of her eyes, "This should be a concrete extraordinary ability unique to the 9 and a half people in the monster pathway sequence. The abilities of each pathway and sequence
There is a big difference. You will also have the opportunity to master other powers after your promotion."
"This kind of ability should be rare on the battlefield," Fiona patted Lana on the shoulder, "It is said that it is not uncommon in cities. It is a quick ability that is very suitable for small-scale battles and will not be interfered with like magic.
"
"The types of extraordinary abilities vary widely. The number of abilities that each extraordinary person can master is limited. Unlike magic, which can be learned and trained in a standardized way, it is also uncontrollable." Isius had already woken up from his coma, "In fact, it is not
No big deal."
"Have you got your memories back?" Sonia asked curiously.
"Yeah, memories, yeah," Isius nodded,
"certainly."
…
"So, a gangster named Jaros knew the whereabouts of the Viscount and the ladies from some channel, and where did he attack you? Three armored cavalry, but they couldn't beat an unofficial Beyonder?" The investigator dressed in black
Sitting in front of Griffith, he said sternly, "Do you think we will believe it?"
The Beyeland police came several times in the past two days, asked about the attack, and assured the Earl's Palace that the Cook gang would be raided immediately. Professional police stations have been set up in cities and most towns in the kingdom.
, replacing the city defense army and security army in combating crime. In addition, the royal family also established the Central Bureau of Investigation to detect and combat crimes across regions and within the royal territory.
The Central Bureau of Investigation and the police department have large funds. Although they are not as powerful as the army system, they also have huge manpower, equipment and intelligence support, as well as exclusive extraordinary people. With their intervention, Griffith is
There is no need and no involvement in the Cook Gang case.
Not only did they not have to intervene, but they also had to undergo rigorous questioning and investigation. After the investigators and the police learned about the case, the first thing they suspected was the three of them, Shutoral, who suspected that some of them were in contact with the gang.
"Jeros' ability is very unique. Although he is not very strong, he can materialize extraordinary characteristics," Griffith said honestly. "It is very unexpected."
The investigator looked at him with an indescribable look for a few seconds before saying: "You can leave now. If you have anything to report before the next investigation, please contact us through the Earl's Palace messenger."
…
My experience in the past two months has been really wonderful~
First, the daughter of the elf archon was attacked. Now that I think about it, although the attack was not very powerful, Isis, a weak mage apprentice, was able to circumvent the elf's prophecies and divination, and used goblins and living corpses to set up traps to let Jia La
Dia and her family were not prepared at all in advance. What good could Isis gain from hunting Galadia? Did Rudias, who he once followed, be accomplices to him?
Then the private outing plan of the count's daughter and her friends was leaked. Except for the six people present, no one else should have known about the outing plan in advance. Who leaked the secret? I am not a traitor, are Lannes and Murat traitors? Unexpectedly
You two with thick eyebrows and big eyes...
The most unreasonable thing is, why am I involved? I am just an ordinary person!
It can be said that I cannot avoid the attack on Sonia, so what happened when Galadia and I met?
Griffith used charcoal pen to list out the thoughts he thought about on paper, trying to find the relationships and connections. However, these fragmentary facts and clues could not be connected in series.
I can't explain why I was involved in these events and conspiracies... It's too coincidental, it smells like a conspiracy.
Griffith is becoming more and more confused. The missing information and obscure clues are like a spider web wrapping him, and he cannot escape no matter which direction he goes.
Wait a minute! Is it because?
No, no, is this possible?
However, it seems that this is the only way to explain it!
A lightning-quick thought appeared in Griffith's mind, sending shivers down his spine.
…
Two years after leaving the NCO Academy, Griffith's studies continued on the front line, but they were still incomparable to formal education. After the attack, he spent most of his day studying in the library of the Larmore family.
, prepare for your studies in the near future.
After the investigators left, not long after Griffith returned to the library and sat down, Captain Heinz sent someone to summon him to his office and asked him to give a detailed explanation of the events of the past few days.
As soon as Griffi finished his report, a sergeant knocked on the door and said to Director Heinz, "Your Excellency, Flag Captain, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Capital Region has summoned you to Tasok Street in Lower City."
"Oh? What else did you say?" The armored cavalry director stood up strangely, picked up his hat and coat and walked outside.
"The deputy commander ordered the nearby mobilization of the Sciutral team to go together," the sergeant replied, "The gang gang that attacked the Viscount, Miss Lamore, and Miss Charon has been found and is being surrounded by the police and city defense troops in Tasso.
Gram Street.”
Found it! Griffith was refreshed.
Director Heinz turned his head, looked at the trainee knight who was only wearing a regular coat and said:
"Go to the armory and borrow a set of armor and weapons. Follow me."
…
When Griffith and the others arrived at the scene, Tasok Street was already surrounded by people on three levels inside and three outside.
Armed carriages guarded various intersections, with prostrate Royal Capital policemen armed with crossbows on top. At the entrance of the sewer manhole in the distance, the police officers had already lifted the iron cover and sent people to block it.
A city defense officer wearing yellow armor was pointing at the map next to the carriage and allocating the reinforcements to various locations. When he saw Captain Heinz coming with Griffith, he immediately stood at attention and saluted.
"I am District Commander Cody. The gangsters are stationed in this sewer. We have blocked the sewer exits in nearby neighborhoods, but we are not sure how long we can trap them," said the officer in charge of the scene command. "The gangsters don't know
A fallen mage was hired from somewhere and kidnapped a passing baron and his wife, who were newly married. Their families had already arrived at the scene and were very dissatisfied with our slow progress.
"The situation at the scene is very complicated. Our soldiers were ambushed from all directions in the dark sewers and were unable to fight back. So we asked our superiors for instructions, hoping to get reinforcements from the knights."
The reporting commander looked around and saw that five Shutoral were arranging their equipment and weapons.
"If it's a knight or a great knight..." Commander Cody thought for a moment, then mustered up the courage to speak out his thoughts, "I noticed that the people present were all trainee knights from various families. They faced the fallen mage.
It may be too much.”
"I understand, Commander Cody," Armored Cavalry Director Heinz Wilhelm was already fully clothed. "If these young people cannot fight against the rats in the sewers, it proves that they are not qualified to be further cultivated by the kingdom. When they fail,
You will see the knights appear."
…
Griffith quickly joined the other four members of his temporary team. The leader was a tall blonde girl with a gorgeous and distinctive appearance.
Wearing a fine silver armor, she can still show her seductive curves. Her pupils are azure blue and bright red, which are so gorgeous that it makes people look at her.
"Hello, I am Ophelia von Ishtar, the second-level squad leader of the 501st Assault Cavalry Regiment. I specialize in reconnaissance, shooting and melee combat," Ishtoral, who had different eyes, waved his hand to the side.
, pointed at a blond man with a calm temperament and said, "This is Wolfgang Medienmeier, heavy infantry."
The other two people were Murat and Lana, whom Griffith already knew. They saw their companions announcing their specializations, and they both spoke.
"Heavy Infantry Murat."
"Fat Cavalry Rana, hand-to-hand assault."
Griffith hit his breastplate with his right hand and said to his companions in the temporary team:
"Griffith Blanton, second-level squad leader of the 502nd Wing, Lancer."
"Well, we are neighbors on the Eastern battlefield~" Ophelia nodded, "Lancer, will you be the first one later?"
"No, I will be the first, and Griffith will follow me." Murat clapped the shield in his hand, "The attacks on the city defense troops that went down before were all from the shadows. I will resist them.
"
"Then behind Griffith are Lana and I," Ophelia nodded, "Finally, Midian, bring your shovel. If the sewer collapses, I hope to escape as soon as possible."
The five Shutorals were fully armed and stepped into the dark and damp sewer.
Murat at the front held up a large rectangular infantry shield, and the whole person was hiding behind the shield. The second and fourth warriors following him were on guard on the left and right respectively, and Ophelia was in the center holding a strong bow. In the small group
At the end, Medianmaia, who is fully armored, is holding a steel ax and carrying a shovel and shovel on his back.
This is a standard Shutoral tactical team. When they engage in jungle combat or street fighting at the border of the kingdom, they use this configuration. Even if they are suddenly attacked and ambushed by enemies several times their size, they can persist until reinforcements arrive.
Griffith held a short gun and followed Murat lightly. In a narrow area like the sewer, although the short gun was inconvenient to wield, it was still very effective.
Faint rays of light passed through the gaps or small holes above the head and fell on the silver armor. The Shutorals held two torches and moved forward carefully in the darkness, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
"Cang!" A feather arrow shot from the darkness toward the torch, smashing into pieces on Murat's shield.
"careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another feather arrow flew over, passed over Murat's helmet and passed by the side of Griffith's head with a "swish" sound.
The Scitorals rushed towards the direction from which the arrows flew. Ophelia drew the bowstring and shot an arrow into the shadow.
Her arrow turned out to have a silvery white light, illuminating the slippery wall of the sewer. Griffith looked along the light and saw two men with frightened expressions loading the crossbows in their hands.
The silvery white light disappeared in an instant. With quick hands and eyes, Lana pulled out a throwing knife and threw it at it. The enemy at the front screamed and fell to the ground. His companions dropped the crossbow in panic and ran away.
Ophelia opened her bow and shot an arrow, and there was a thumping sound in the darkness, followed by painful wails and the sound of paddling.
Griffith rushed up, holding a spear and stepping on the back of the enemy who was shot, "Surrender or die."
"Ugh," the caught gangster shouted twice with his mouth full of sewage before he was pulled up.
"Don't kill me, I'm just a handyman!" The gangster shouted regardless of the pain, "Boss Cook said that as long as we delay here for three hours, we can break through the wall and escape."
"How many of you are there?" Griffith asked. "Do you have any armor?"
"There are less than 50 people, and most of them are digging into the wall," the gangster said reluctantly, "Boss Cook has a suit of mail."
"what else?"
"No, no more!"
In the dim light, the gangster stared at the trainee knights in armor under the firelight with wide eyes. The air suddenly became silent.
Griffith took out the dagger from his waist, inserted it into the gangster's right hand, and slashed upward.
"Ahhh!" The gangster screamed immediately. But the other Shutorals were indifferent, either looking at him silently, or being on guard as if it had nothing to do with them.
"Continue." Griffith spat out two emotionless words from behind his strong visor.
"Mage, we have a mage who can freeze water like a spear," the gangster roared, "I don't know much! Really! He always wears a mask and doesn't speak."
"Is there a trap?"
"There were groups of men with bows and arrows and spears!"
"What else do you know?"
"No, I really don't know anything else!"
"Well, he didn't tell lies," Ophelia said softly, "it seems like he doesn't know any more information."
"Oh, how did you know?" Griffith looked at his companion who also wore a mask, and easily broke the gangster's neck, "That's it for now, let's move on."
"Hey! Aren't you taking prisoners?" Ophelia complained.
"He was trying to conceal his intelligence."
"Then there's no need to be so straightforward. We've already returned to Beyeland. If we still treat people like dogs and kill them like before, what will the kind-hearted citizens of Beyeland think of us!" Ophelia waved her hand, "Forget it.
, there is no manpower to escort him back now. But you must tell us next time you kill prisoners."
"Well, no problem." Griffith wiped the blood of the dagger on the gangster's clothes and put it back into the sheath on his waist. "You are right, but I didn't think carefully."
After solving this trouble, the Shutorals continued to move forward as if nothing had happened. Not only was the light in the sewer dim, but the road was also winding and it was difficult to tell the direction.
