Release that Witch - Chapter 31

[Chapter 31 “Our” Friends]

Roland sat at his desk in a daze. He didn’t expect that someone would actually dare to kill him in the castle. If Nightingale hadn’t discovered it in time, he might have been murdered.

Who is it this time?

Third sister, or other brothers and sisters?

Do you want to be in such a hurry? It’s only been a few months since the five-year King’s Edict. Roland patted the table irritably. It’s unreasonable. Can he let himself survive the winter?

Footsteps sounded outside the door, and the chief knight, Carter Lannis, pushed the door open and entered, “Your Highness, the identities of the deceased have been ascertained. Among the eight corpses, seven were members of the original patrol team, and one was unidentified. The other two who are still alive People, one was treated by the witch… no, after being treated by Miss Pine, he still hasn’t woken up. One has been taken into the dungeon and is under strict guard.”

Patrol?

Knowing that this team raised by the former lord was unreliable, Roland gritted his teeth and thought, eight out of ten people turned traitor, and it was indeed the right choice not to let this group of people join the militia.

“The one locked up, you remind your subordinates to keep an eye on it, don’t let him commit suicide by taking poison again like last time!”

“Last time… like that?”

“Cough, it’s nothing.” Roland shook his head. It seems that he was called up by Nightingale in the early morning, and his head was confused. “In short, I want to know everything from him, who is the mastermind, who is contacted, who is bribed, all these are left to you. Go check.”

“Yes, Your Highness,” Carter did not leave immediately after finishing speaking, but knelt down on one knee, “It was my negligence to allow the assassin to sneak into the castle this time, and I hope His Highness will punish you.”

“Enough, you were not in the castle at the time, it has nothing to do with you.”

“Then…” Carter hesitated, “Can you tell me who stopped the assassination at that time? I saw from the scene that they…” The knight swallowed, “They seem to be killed by the same person Kill, and there is no way to fight back.”

“You can see this?” Roland asked curiously.

“If the forces were evenly matched, the scene would not be so clean, and the wounds would be various,” Carter said in a low voice. “Everyone fell in a small warehouse. Except for blood and corpses on the ground, there was almost no damage. The items placed there, those big boxes for storing bacon, did not leave even a single sword mark on them. That is to say, the man wandered in a small open space without any cover. With all due respect, Your Highness, It’s just unbelievable.”

“I see,” Roland nodded, and he understood what the other party meant.

No matter how strong people are in theory, they will fall into an extremely unfavorable situation after being surrounded. In actual combat, it will not be like in the movie. It seems to be surrounded, and people are still on the ground one by one.

Attacks in blind spots are especially deadly.

Therefore, with one-to-many, the correct countermeasure is to rely on the terrain and environment, so that you can always face the enemy head-on.

But Nightingale is no ordinary person.

“No matter what, you should do what you should do first. This person can’t show up for the time being, and I will tell you when the time is right.”

Although the chief knight was loyal to him and knew that Anna and Nana were witches, Roland still chose to conceal the existence of Nightingale.

Because she is different from the other two witches, she does not belong to her side, and the reason for staying in the town is only for Anna.

Behind her is the Witch Aid Society, and sooner or later she will leave here.

Carter resigned with a look of disappointment.

Roland could understand his thoughts. As a sword holder, he kept practicing the sword skills summed up and accumulated over hundreds of years, and took it as the truth.

But when he sees an incomprehensible scene, he will inevitably doubt himself – if the swordsmanship can be so exquisite, what is it that he is usually proud of?

“I thought you would ask me to come out,” Nightingale said, showing her figure. She was still sitting at the corner of the desk, crossing her legs.

“I think so too. Why don’t you just settle down here and serve as my hidden guard. The salary of two golden dragons per month is double that of Anna. Do you want to think about it?” Roland began to ask again, ” The house has a garden, two days off a week, and paid leave every year—er, it means getting paid while resting.”

To his surprise, this time the other party did not refuse outright, but smiled and said irrefutably, “I can’t leave my partner alone.”

“Then call everyone over. After the winter is over, Border Town will be under construction, and as many people as possible will be able to accommodate it. And…witches can also walk on the streets without discrimination, and no one will regard you as evil.” By.”

“Let’s wait until you have achieved that,” Nightingale said with a shrug.

Well, Amway still has to look at the product, and this kind of thing can only be done slowly.

Roland changed the subject, “Has Nana been sent back safely?”

“Hmm, she was quite frightened.”

The prince sighed, it was midnight when he was woken up by the nightingale, and he almost vomited after seeing the scene.

She briefly explained what happened, and Roland ordered her to smuggle Nana out.

The little girl who usually only healed chickens fainted immediately when she saw a living person covered in blood.

All in all, she healed the patrol captain with tears all over her face.

In order not to let his family find out, Nightingale was also responsible for taking her back.

It was almost dawn when everything was done.

“What do you think of this matter? Can you guess which of my good brothers or sisters did it?”

Nightingale shook her head, “They are all members of the patrol team, and the only exception is that they didn’t carry any evidence related to their identity. If it’s a bribe, anyone can do it… But I think, this matter Perhaps it has nothing to do with your siblings.”

“why?”

“Because it was too imprecise. A multi-person operation, but internal strife broke out in the team. After the failure, they did not commit suicide immediately, and at least two people were left alive. And at that time, their performance was unprofessional, just like street gangsters. This It’s not like your brother and sister’s style, but more like a layman’s plan. I think even if I’m not here, there is no possibility of this assassination being successful… Don’t forget that Anna is sleeping downstairs.”

Nightingale picked up Roland’s cup, took a sip of water indifferently, and continued, “Anyway, your knight has already gone to the dungeon to ask for a statement, and I bet he will get the truth soon—compared to the chess pieces laid by your sister, That guy is too inferior, he knelt and begged me not to kill him before.”

“The seriously injured patrol leader… I seem to have summoned him.”

“Really?” Nightingale turned her head, “I think you should thank him, if he hadn’t entangled the other guys by himself, I wouldn’t have found out that the mouse had slipped into the basement so quickly. Although I don’t know why he Do it, but the enemy of our enemy is our friend, right?”

That’s right, Roland thought, but the point is not whether he is a friend or an enemy, but what Nightingale said.

–“our friends.
