Chapter 698: Frame-Up
It is not surprising that Inrodo sent an envoy.
This was within Hadi's expectations.
First, the previous envoy of Inrodo died in the prison of Louisian County.
Hadi even wrote a secret letter to the royal family of Inrodo to explain this.
As for whether the other party believed it or not, Hadi was not interested in knowing.
But based on his understanding of Inrodo, this country is very annoying, or very clingy.
People in Inrodo like to "talk". Once they determine that you have what they want, they will be around you tirelessly, buzzing like a fly.
If you don't respond to him, he will feel greatly insulted, not that you look down on him.
Once you respond to him, he will presumptuously think that you are very friendly to him and will pester you more frequently until he reaches his destination.
For this reason, he can promise many things, but whether he fulfills them is another matter.
"You stay at home, I'll take someone to check it out."
Petra kissed Hardy's face, then smiled and said, "Go ahead. Take Joanna and Scarlett with you."
When Hardy and several knights spent most of the day rushing to the crime scene, it was already evening.
The more than 20 bodies were moved to the side of the road and guarded by a group of guards.
Seeing Hardy, the captain of the guard came over, bowed and saluted, with a bit of admiration on his old face, and said, "Lord, I'm glad to see you here."
"I remember you..." Hardy looked at the other person's face, recalled, and said, "Mountain man Mbappe, is your right leg healed?"
This mountain man followed Hardy to fight north and south more than three years ago.
Later, because his right leg was cut off on the battlefield, he almost died.
Although he used the pension to go to the Temple of Light to heal his right leg, it seemed that he was not very flexible, so he received a "retirement fee" and became the captain of the guard.
By the way, Louisian County has 23 guard teams responsible for different areas of public security.
This is also one of the reasons why Louisian County has very good public security.
Those guard teams are regular troops who survived the battlefield and have very strong combat effectiveness.
They are very good at forming formations to fight the enemy. Ordinary professionals and players are really not their opponents.
Seeing that Hardy still remembered him, the captain of the guard was even more excited. His face was a little red with excitement, but he soon talked about business: "Lord, I checked the wounds on these people. They were all knife wounds, no sword wounds or arrow wounds."
For people with combat experience, it is easy to distinguish what weapon caused the wound.
"Then who do you think... did this?"
Mbappe shook his head awkwardly: "I don't know."
He is just a big soldier. It's okay for him to fight and kill the enemy, but it's too difficult for him to reason.
Hardy didn't care, just said: "You two come out and see."
Suddenly, two black shadows emerged from Hardy's shadow and turned into two beautiful snakes.
Mbappe's first reaction when he saw the snake tail was to stand in front of Hardy and draw his weapon.
Then he saw that it was two beauties, he smiled awkwardly and stepped aside.
There was no way... More than a year ago, he fought hard with the demons on the front line, and many brothers died in the battle. Seeing the characteristics of the demons, he would have some stress reactions.
The two beautiful snakes glanced at Mbappe, and then surrounded the more than 20 corpses to check.
Hardy sat on the grass next to him, watching the sunset in the sky like fire.
It's autumn now, and the sunset will look particularly beautiful.
The two beautiful snakes attracted the "attention" of the surrounding guard team members.
They glanced at them from time to time, and then pretended to look at the scenery and looked away.
There was no way, beautiful women, who wouldn't want to take a few more glances.
Now Scarlett has become Hardy's woman, and I don't know how Joanna persuaded him. Anyway, one night a few days ago, Joanna took Scarlett's hand and went to Hardy's room.
I have to say that beautiful snakes are very interesting.
Their upper bodies are warm, and their snake bodies are cold.
Very interesting.
And their organs are also different. Some Nagas have reproductive organs that are human.
Some Nagas have reproductive organs that are more like snakes.
Scarlett's are more like snakes.
It feels very unique.
The two checked for a long time, but they didn't finish checking the twenty bodies until dark.
The members of the guard team kindly lit three bonfires around to illuminate the two beautiful snakes.
After more than an hour, the two finally checked all the bodies.
"Hardy, they were killed by magic." Joanna coiled her snake tail into a ball and "sat" next to Hardy.
Scarlett nodded repeatedly to agree.
She looked at Hardy with eyes full of admiration.
Mbappe, who was standing next to him, was very surprised when he heard this: "But they were all knife wounds, and there was no trace of magic energy in the wounds."
"It was a very high-end wind blade technique." Joanna explained: "The wounds caused by this magic are almost exactly the same as knife wounds. The only difference is... knife wounds are slightly turned outward, while wind blade wounds are smooth, and even a little sunken."
Mbappe walked over and re-examined the wounds of several dead people, and found that it was indeed as Joanna said.
"It really is..."
Mbappe walked over and looked at Hardy with admiration.
Although this conclusion was drawn by Joanna's prosecutor, the problem is...she is Hardy's woman, so in the eyes of Mbappe, a mountain man, this is Hardy's ability and talent.
Hardy thought for a while and asked: "Which organization do you two think did it?"
They both shook their heads at the same time.
They have not been in the human world for a long time and do not understand the organization and construction of the human world.
"Could it be a spy sent by the demon world?"
Joanna thought for a moment and said: "Theoretically speaking, only the Evil Eye clan in the demon world can use magic so superbly that the wounds look like knife wounds. But the Evil Eye clan is now a vassal of the Elf clan, and there is no reason for them to do this. kind of thing.”
Now the Evil Eye clan is living very comfortably.
Staying in the New Elf Forest every day, eating well, sleeping well, and studying magic with peace of mind.
Even many new-born evil-eyed children no longer want to make their own outer bodies to protect themselves.
Because it's too safe.
"The enemy deliberately misled us into getting injured." Hardy stood up: "And around here, the best organization for using this kind of weapon is a certain guild of the undead."
In other words, someone is driving a wedge between Hardy and the players.
"Go to Kotama County, where Inrodo came ashore, we should be able to find some clues." Then Hardy looked at the mountain man Mbappe: "You have been working harder recently, patrolling the main roads more. Ensure the safety of caravans and travelers.”
"As you wish, lord."
Mbappe bowed and saluted. (End of chapter)
