Creating a Different World - Chapter 2605

[Chapter 2605 Inquiry]

Magic Academy.

Julian arrived smoothly and was not late.

Jia Zhengjin, who sent her here, left directly without stopping.

Unlike in the past, Julian was a little absent-minded in class today.

At lunch time, several female students who usually care about good friends gathered around.

“Julian, what’s wrong with you today? Are you worried?”

“Yes! Julian, I feel like I haven’t been in the mood since this morning!”

“Is it because of the homicide last night? It doesn’t matter!”

“Why don’t you apply to live in the college?”

“Yes! The college is absolutely safe. Although your home is close, it’s quite troublesome to go back and forth every day.”

“Your family runs a grocery store, so this little money is definitely not a problem.”

“That’s right!”

Faced with the girls’ caring words, Julian felt warm in her heart: “Thank you everyone! Actually, I am planning to apply to live on campus. There have been a series of homicides recently, and I always feel unsafe.”

“That’s great! We will live together then.”

“Yeah! So Julian, you don’t have to worry too much!”

“Thank you!”

“Why are you still depressed?”

“Yes! Julian, you are usually very cheerful, aren’t you?”

“You can tell us anything, and everyone will help you.”

“That’s right!”

“Are you worried about anything?”

Faced with the girls’ chattering questions, Julian hesitated and whispered: “Actually, it’s because of my playmates!”

“Oh? That’s Cohen who sent you to school every day and borrowed you home?”

“Yeah!”

“What happened to him?”

“Actually, this is it.” Julian told her friends everything.

After listening, the girls talked in a low voice, and one of them said, “There’s nothing to worry about this matter! Julian, it’s normal for Cohen to do this after something like that happened. After all, he was almost killed by Martin. If he was unlucky and was eaten by the monster, it would be even worse! Let me ask you a question first, for Cohen, besides treating him as a playmate, do you really treat him as the opposite sex?”

“How is it possible?” Julian shook her head without thinking, “Him? The opposite sex? We are good friends who have played together since childhood.”

“Then have you ever thought about dating or getting married with anyone else?”

“This”

“Tell the truth! There’s nothing to be shy about.”

“That’s right!”

Facing her friends’ questions, Julian nodded hesitantly.

“Isn’t that the end? You didn’t see Cohen as a member of the opposite sex, but the boys pursuing you would mistake him for a rival. And the boy you like might not want to get close to you because of him! So there’s nothing wrong with what Cohen did!”

“But…”

“But he and you have been playing together since childhood, and suddenly there is such a clear distinction between you, which makes you very uncomfortable and awkward?”

“Yeah!”

“Julian, everyone has grown up and will take different paths. So don’t think too much, for his sake and for your own sake, try to change! Friends don’t have to be together like children every day. Don’t think too much, who is the boy you like?”

“That’s right, Julian, who do you like?”

“Tell us?”

“Oh, don’t be like this~” When mentioning this topic, Julian blushed immediately.

“Tell us! Who do you like?”

“Tell us! Maybe we can help you?”

“I don’t know~”

“Hey, don’t run!”

On the other side, after Jia Zhengjin sent Julian to the academy, he turned around and went directly to the Adventurer’s Guild.

Entering the guild, I found that the eyes from all directions were different.

This is understandable. After all, the Adventurer’s Guild must have been the first to get the news of the case that happened last night.

In fact, it was the adventurers who found the body and informed the guards. Someone returned from the mission and found the body at night. After calling the guards, he also reported the matter to the Adventurer’s Guild.

No one here believes that Cohen can kill the six people, but they are 100% sure that the death of the six people is related to him, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence that he appeared on the way home.

“Cohen!” When he appeared, Molly shouted directly at him, “Come here, I want to know about the case last night, tell me everything you know!”

The guards must have entrusted the Adventurer’s Guild to inquire about this matter. It’s not that they will definitely investigate, but at least they have to find out the truth.

This time, it is clear that it was Harvey and the other six who were greedy for money. For this situation, the Adventurer’s Guild has the priority to deal with it. After all, it is a grudge between adventurers. Unless the Guild does not, then the guards will intervene.

When Jia Zhengjin arrived at the counter, the adventurers sitting there pricked up their ears, and many even stood up and walked behind him.

“Cohen, the bodies of Harvey’s team were found on the way to Hawke Village last night.” Molly looked up and asked, “Based on the information we have at the scene, we preliminarily determined that they had the intention of robbing people on the road. And you got a windfall yesterday, which happened to be the best target. Combined with the location of the crime, I believe they were targeting you! Of course, you don’t have to be afraid, the guild will definitely handle it impartially. As long as you didn’t take the initiative to commit the crime, it is a normal defensive state. You just need to explain the cause and effect clearly!”

“Molly, how could he kill Harvey and his team with such a cowardly look?” Someone shouted from the back, “Just ask him to explain who helped and saved his life last night!”

“That’s right!

Without the help of masters, ten Cohens would not be Harvey’s opponent.”

“Who killed Harvey? Or which team did it? Did Cohen get help from someone? Or was it just a kind passerby who helped?” “Speak up! Speak quickly!”

No one believed that Cohen killed Harvey and his companions himself. It was too unconvincing!

All adventurers were curious about who killed Harvey’s team.

Molly had the same opinion and stared at Jia Zhengjin expectantly.

Jia Zhengjin knew that no one would believe him if he told the truth. Even if he didn’t have the so-called helpers, he could only make up stories. So he said loudly, “That’s right! Yesterday, on my way home, I was suddenly surrounded by Harvey’s team. They wanted me to hand over everything and go home naked. At this time, an armored knight suddenly came and rushed over without saying a word. He killed six people alone and made Harvey’s team unable to resist. Later, he chased an archer for a long distance and never came back. I was scared and ran back home to save myself. I don’t know who the armored knight was, and he never appeared again!”

“According to the on-site investigation data, it is consistent with what you said.” Molly said, “The traces of the battle show that Harvey’s team did suffer an unimaginable impact, and one person was indeed killed after being chased a long distance. It’s just that there were too many horse hoof prints on the road, and I don’t know where the armored knight you mentioned went!”

“I don’t know either!” Jia Zhengjin said quickly, “I was too scared at the time, so I ran away in advance.”
