"If you want to talk to a colonel's wife like this, then this conversation is over. I have nothing to say. If you want to arrest me, I will provide evidence."
After saying that, he walked out of the room, and the young maid who left just now appeared at the door, waiting to send the two of them out.
Flora looked at Shade, who stood up without regret at all:
"What a pity. Let's go then."
The witch was a little confused but still followed Shade and left here. After the fence door closed behind them and the maid returned to the house, she asked doubtfully:
"What did you see? I always feel that what you are talking about is different from what I am listening to."
Shade nodded:
"I'm afraid the results of this investigation will be out soon, can you tell? The colonel's wife doesn't look like she has been neglected by her husband for many years."
As he spoke, he motioned for Flora to follow him along the street and leave here first. When talking about this topic, the artist lady immediately became energetic. She could even be said to be "ecstatic":
"Of course I can tell. She doesn't look like a forty-year-old woman. The earrings on her ears are the latest styles this year, and I can smell the lavender scent. It's hard for me to imagine a woman being ignored by her husband.
A woman who stays at home all day would dress like this.
Although Charlotte's investigation said that she always stayed at home alone and did not participate in many social activities, I bet that she was still nourished by sweet love. A woman with a desperate heart would not be like this.
She had an affair in marriage! And I still bet that before or after our visit, she planned to meet her lover."
Shade basically agreed with her reasoning:
"My guess is that after our visit today, she already wants to pack her things and run away."
"Isn't that true? It's just an affair after being ignored by your husband. Although this is immoral, isn't it very common among nobles?"
Flora curiously guessed again:
"Could it be that the identity of her affair partner is unusual?"
Shade smiled and shook his head:
"We have arranged for people to monitor this house, and I just confirmed that there is no secret passage in the house. Let's go back first. Once we confirm that the colonel's wife has packed her things and left, we will go to the woods or the train to intercept her. Some things
It’s not easy to do in the city.”
"All right."
The witch then put her arm on Shade's arm:
"But if she wants to leave the local area, is it possible to go to the woods? Walking out of the Vista Woodland is not something an ordinary woman can do, you mean."
That Anne Dupont moved faster than Shade thought. When Shade was having lunch with the ladies on the boat at noon that day, the girls responsible for monitoring there hurriedly sent news that the target had already boarded the ship.
The taxi headed west of the city.
The local train station was not in the west of the city, so it was basically concluded that she did not intend to take the train, but went directly into the woods. So Shade, who was halfway through the meal, urgently took Flora and chased after her.
At about one o'clock in the afternoon, based on the marks left by the girls who had been following the colonel's wife, they finally found the target in the woods.
Anne Dupont and the handsome maid whom she had seen in the morning each carried a large suitcase and walked quickly through the forest. The physical strength of the two seemed
It's quite good. Wearing flat shoes to walk in the roadless forest, the speed is even faster than that of an experienced hunter.
But they didn't notice the three witch followers following behind them. After Shade, Flora and the three girls met, they walked directly towards the ladies carrying the suitcases without hiding their footsteps.
The wind was blowing all the time in the forest, so it was not very quiet. But after Shade and Flora approached, the colonel's wife noticed them immediately.
She turned around suddenly, and when she saw the two people from the morning, she had a desperate and miserable expression on her face, which even made Shade think that he was the villain.
"You really don't want to let us go, right? Jessica, you go first, I will always love you!"
She threw away the luggage in her hand and rushed towards Shade as she spoke. Although her steps were messy, at least the expression on her face was very powerful.
But what was even more impressive was that as she rushed forward, traces of scales quickly appeared on her face, and even a black tail appeared behind her. Her height suddenly jumped upwards, and she felt more and more powerful as she ran.
It got heavier and heavier, until it finally hit Shade sideways like a cannonball.
But nothing happened. Shade just stretched out a hand and grabbed her arm to stop her. The sleeves of the white dress seemed to be scales, because Shade felt a hard touch.
So the expression of grief, anger and despair on Anne Dupont's face had reached the extreme, but at this time her entire head had transformed into the appearance of a dragon, but there were no wings on her back and no dragon horns on her head.
Coupled with the black tail behind her, she didn't look like a dragonborn, but like a so-called "lizard man".
"Let her go!"
The young maid Jessica did not leave as instructed. She didn't even hesitate for a second. The maid who also had traces of dragon transformation came out from behind under the cover of the colonel's wife. The traces of dragon origin on the maid's body
Not so much. Although a black tail also appeared, the head still looked like a human being, except that the skin on the face was covered with black scales.
She also waved her fist and tried to attack Shade, and then her fist was pinched by Shade's other hand.
Both wanted to resist, but found that the young man's power was as unshakable as a mountain. So under the grief, anger and fear, the colonel's wife actually took a breath, and then cried softly. She waved her other hand and clenched her fist.
The fist hit Shade on the shoulder, and this time even Flora couldn't stand it:
"Let them go, I feel like we have become bad people."
Shade threw his hands, and the master and servant who collided fell to the ground, and then they hugged each other and cried.
Shade did not use the "Ring of Imprisonment" or the "Chain of Sin". After all, they did not look strong. The dragonborn's bloodline was very weak, and they had not even undergone formal fighting training.
"It's really the Dragonborn. You saw it this morning, right?"
Flora couldn't bear to look at the two women who were crying out of fear. Shade had no expression. In this situation, one wanted to be the good guy and the other the bad guy:
"After the incident in the summer, I was able to vaguely distinguish the dragonborn's bloodline. Their bloodline is very weak. It took me several minutes to confirm this in the morning. However, I did not expect that the two of them were
This relationship."
"What's wrong? He can like men in the military camp, but can't I like Jessica at home?"
The crying colonel's wife sat on the dead leaves in the forest and shouted to Shade. This even more shocking news made Shade really not know what to say. Flora comforted them and said:
"Of course, we are very open-minded."
As a witch, she is qualified to say this, but Shade reminded:
"But this is still an affair within marriage. Although your marriage life is unhappy, and according to you, your husband has also cheated on you, but before the marriage officially ends, your cheating behavior is still."
"No one can be a morally perfect person. This is all the fault of Colonel Dupont. Besides, people always think that it is normal for the male master to have an affair with the maid at home. Why is it that the female master is not allowed to have an affair with the maid?"
So Flora "accused", as for the two crying ladies on the ground, their tails were entangled with each other, which made it easy for Shade to distinguish the similarities between their scales. In other words
, their dragonborn bloodline should have the same origin.
The suitcase the two of them were carrying just now had been scattered aside. The impact when it landed caused the lock of the suitcase to pop open, exposing the hastily packed clothes inside. In addition, they were crying so hard at this time.
It really seems like Shade is a bad guy.
With Flora's comfort again and the promise of "we will not tear you apart", the crying master and servant finally stabilized their minds, but they still seemed to be very afraid of Shade. So Shade set up a campfire on the spot.
, let everyone sit down and talk.
The colonel's wife and the beautiful young maid still hugged each other, as if they had made up their minds never to separate.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
This was the first sentence the noble lady said to Shade while sobbing after she settled down. Flora then looked at Shade with a "ferocious" look and told him not to speak, and then explained:
"We explained our purpose in the morning. We are here for the Jindel family. As for you and your maid, we have no intention of disturbing your lives. After answering our questions, you can go back."
"But this morning you said that the Kant family was solved by you."
The maid holding the noble lady was shivering, so Flora smiled again:
"He is trying to scare you. It was the church that took care of the Kant family. Besides, the police chief really has dealings with demons. It seems to me that apart from your special bloodline, you are not a serial warlock."
"What is a Ringmancer?"
The maid asked embarrassedly, so Shade thought that the two of them were no threat.
【Isn’t this your favorite dragon maid? 】
"She" suddenly smiled and asked in Shade's ear, and Shade corrected him seriously in his heart:
"First of all, dragon maids refer to beautiful girls with dragon-like characteristics. They look like lizard girls; secondly, dragon maids refer to maids who care about themselves, not other people's maids."
