Marquis' Express Butler

It is said that the Red Velvet branch is nearby. The headquarters is a little far away, so it's difficult to bring in the tallest person right away.

But it doesn't matter. If only someone with the authority of the branch commander could come, the story would be easily solved.

I wasn't going to leave anything out.

After he was captured, I put my arm around his shoulder and pretended to be close to him.

“Listen up. He's a little busy, so he can't take much time. If there's anything you know, you need to tell me. I'm not very compassionate. ”

“Yep!"

He's frozen solid, and Chris and Arthurs, who are watching, grin. You've got a great view.

“There were signs of camp around here. That's quite a trail, don't you think? ”

“I think someone camped because of the camp trail... Ugh! ”

His answer is poor and he squeezes his shoulders. It's going to hurt a lot to spill Mana.

“Ugh... ”

“Answer correctly. Do you think I'm asking you because I'm curious about the camp? Have you seen the campers? Looks like this is your turf. ”

“Well, I didn't see it myself.... ”

Oh, there's something here.

He hesitates for a moment. I shook my shoulder once with a smile.

“I heard some people in black robes went camping a while back. I think it's them. ”

“Black Robe? Tell me more.”

“I didn't hear much. Those who saw it all died... Ugh! ”

“Are you saying it's my fault? You want to follow your friend? ”

“Help me! Please!”

I don't think that's a good idea. We need to impress the reality a little more.

“You attacked the Adeline people. You know what that means, don't you? He's messing with a reputable prince of the realm. I could have gotten rid of them if I wanted to. But why do I show such mercy? ”

“Let me tell you more! ”

“Yes, you should. ”

It'll still be a little unfair. We were the ones who attacked first. Honestly, these guys wouldn't even be able to confirm our identities or anything like that.

I loosened my shoulder a little. Then sighed, and the bandit man spoke.

“I've been watching them closely to see if they'd like to put up a fight, but they don't seem very interested in our side. Strange, isn't it? Ordinary people can't stay that quiet. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“Usually I talk about the bitches I fucked yesterday, or I talk about what the next ones are going to be. while drinking. ”

I took a quick look around. It's a good thing Eluna isn't around.

“So, you didn't say anything? ”

“Yes, he said he didn't talk about it strangely enough. So I remember the guy who told me. ”

It's definitely weird. Quiet camping as a group means training is good enough.

It looks suspicious.

Looks like Eluna has the right evidence.

Then Chris next to me asked.

“How was he armed? ”

“Well…… I don't know yet. I just heard he's got a black robe all over him. Hiic! It's true! That's all I really heard! ”

My head was itchy for a while, so I raised my arm to scratch it, but it seems true enough to make the match.

“There should be some alive in here. See if there are any witnesses. ”

“Yes!”

“Don't run away. It's not hard to put a vent in a man's head, but it's annoying. ”

A man calls upon my threats, swarming through the survivors.

After a while, he picked up a man. He was shot in the shoulder, but not badly wounded enough to speak.

Chris repeated the same question, and he answered.

“He was wearing a sword. There was a blackout outside the robe! And he had something on his back. Robe has popped out! It's obvious!”

“Don't get too excited. Talk calmly. ”

“Yes…. ”

“How can you be so sure? ”

“I was a scout then. Checking for armed status is standard! ”

“Crossbow.”

“I think that's what it looks like from the look of it. ”

Crossbow is not a common weapon to be hit by a foot. Prices are off quite well. Chris swipes his chin and thinks and asks again.

“How long ago, exactly? ”

“Maybe five days ago. ”

“How long have you been here? ”

“I'm good at that. ”

Chris nods, looking at me. I suddenly have a question. I tapped the arrow in his arm and asked.

“Then why didn't you attack them? Weren't you supposed to be ripping and stabbing innocent people to death? ”

“That……. ”

He carefully grips the place where the arrow hit him.

“You looked too strong. I had a feeling we'd be attacked. ”

“You're pretty famous bandits, aren't you? And you freaked out so easily? Must be hard to live on. ”

“No, I happened to see them practicing, but the blue light on the sword... is right." There was definitely blue light. ”

“Blue light? ”

“Yes. I... must have... taken off thinking they were coming. ”

The eyes of me and Chris flashed.

They are suspicious enough to cover themselves with black robes, but the fact that they used the sword to come is that they are incredibly skilled. The puzzles were being solved one by one in a surprising place.

“Anything else? ”

“Yes…… other than that……. ”

After the interrogation, I tied up all the prisoners alive with Arthurs and put them all on one side. I tied him tightly to the stump so he couldn't escape. I didn't leave Chris to do what he was trying to do, if he could. You're a soldier.

Arthur finishes his work and mutters as he plucks his hands.

“The word" error user "is tempting, but it does not specify a target. It could be group training, right? ”

But Chris thought differently. He tilts his head.

“Wouldn't it be a lot of information just to know that strange people were lurking around here? Covering yourself with black robes means you don't want to reveal who you are. If it was a drill, there's no reason to hide who you are. It's inefficient. There's a good chance they're after us. It's suspicious.”

“Well, maybe. ”

I intervened.

“Then if we follow the trail from the camp, we can figure out where they went. ”

“That's right."

As I look at Eluna, she notices her intentions and joins Arthurs and begins her search where there are traces of camp.

We talked about this forest and the Redvelvetan and waited for them to return.

After a while, she comes back with good news.

“I don't think he was trying to cover his tracks. The hoof prints were clear. Apparently, he left a day or two ago. ”

“Which way?"

“This is Silvershire. The trail was all the way out into the woods. ”

“Silvershire……. ”

A town I've seen on the map. And because it was our next destination, Silvershire was not an exotic name.

I feel like I've earned a crucial piece to complete the puzzle.

I nodded.

“Then at least this forest won't be a big deal. Track the trail to Silvershire. ”

“I understand.”

“By the way, didn't you call their station chief? ”

Chris asked, and I smiled and answered.

“We can't miss out on a good opportunity. Until then, you guys get some rest. Don't light a campfire. I'll be on my way to Silvershire in no time. ”

* * *

After waiting for a long time, you hear a loud thumping sound on one side.

“Finally. ”

I was already pulling Mana up and activating my heat sensing skills, so I could tell where they were coming from.

Numbers are good. About fifty?

My colleagues seem nervous. I stepped out.

“There's no need to draw your weapon. They won't touch any of our fur. ”

“What if I try the Sheep's Helmet Award? ”

“I'm going to blow a hole in your breath. Why would I? ”

I'm telling you, Chris takes his hands off the sword. I watched Arthurs and Elonado come running out of the weapon with their hands tied in red hoods.

“Halt!”

The Redvelvet discovered us and stopped whimpering. At the same time, the waves split like a split sea, and a hot bearded man walked out.

I clasp my hands as he approaches and is cautious.

“What are you doing? You'd better run and kneel when you say something nice. Can't you see the situation? All anyone can do is put a branch chief on his neck? Tsk.”

The commander knelt on his knees before the slightest notices. All the Redvelvet members then knelt down.

“Sorry! Please take a look! I don't know what's going on, but my men are in trouble. My life is just... ”

“Hahaha. You know you're sorry. ”

I smirked and laughed. In fact, if you think about the relationship before and after the war, I'm the one who gets in trouble first.

But it's a crime to be a thief.

They run away from powerful people, take money from powerless people, right? So I don't care if I get beat up. Rather, I should be praised.

I walked slowly towards him. I picked up my sword from my waist to unsheath it.

“I am Dylan, a member of the Adeline family, a member of the Medici family. Now that you've dared to harm me and my precious colleagues, how can I ask for your sins? ”

“That's a misunderstanding! We were just patrolling the perimeter……. ”

“You sound like you're on patrol. If we were merchants or civilians, we'd raid them. ”

“ ……. ”

I could not argue because it was true.

“Your men attacked us. Is there a grudge against the Adeline family? ”

“Well, that can't be right! You're mistaken! We never, ever! ”

“Really? I took care of your kids all at once. No complaints? ”

“Of course!”

“Branch Head.”

I slap the shoulder of the man on the ground.

“I'd like to turn all of you over to the Bureau, but I can't because I'm a little busy. So how should we address this situation? ”

“I'll give you as much as you want! ”

I didn't ask him to, but he offered me a bag of Doubloons at his waist. After checking the contents, I threw them into Arthur's pocket.

“Don't you think this is a little too much? This is the only cost of your life? ”

“Oh, that's what I thought! Hahaha, then what else...? ”

“The elders of the Adeline family will pass through here shortly. Don't get into any trouble. Take care of the dangerous things around you. Things like bandits and monsters. Do you understand?”

“I will take my orders! ”

“Take the men tied behind you. Come on!"

He jumps up and takes his men and hides their tracks as if they were on fire.

“Let's get going, too. To Silvershire.”

We jumped on the horse again.
