Chapter 1105 Attendants

Winter night.

The piercing cold wind made the cemetery empty and silent, even chilling.

Inside the gravekeeper's hut.

Aaron, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes and pressed one hand on the hilt of the sword under the bed.

After a while, the sound of heavy footsteps came.

He looked at the torches outside, got up, dressed, and then opened the door as if nothing had happened: "Misters, what happened?"

"Zorro, the tombkeeper?"

A soldier held a torch and looked at Aaron. After confirming that it was himself, he immediately asked, "Did you find anyone else at night?"

"There are a lot of people lying in the tomb, but not a single living person."

Aaron feigned panic: "What happened?"

"you do not need to know!"

The expression of the soldier leader was very cold, even if he knew Aaron, he still waved his hand: "Search!"

The soldiers poured into the hut and searched all the places where people could hide, but of course they found nothing.

Even more people set torches and searched the entire cemetery.

"No!"

"Neither here!"

"Continue to search elsewhere!"

The group of soldiers came and went quickly.

Aaron looked at the back of the other party's departure, thoughtful.

...

the next day.

early morning.

Ivey came over in a hurry, with an expression on his face that he didn't know what to say.

In the end, he took a few deep breaths and then said, "Zorro, come and live..."

"Oh? Which big man died?"

Aaron pretended to be surprised.

"It's the old Baron Lancaster!" Ivey's voice was heavy, with a little bit of secret joy in sharing the secret.

"It doesn't look like he died of illness or accident..." Aaron said thoughtfully, "The soldier last night?"

"Shhhh!"

Ivey made a gesture of silence, looked around again, and lowered his voice: "Yes... the old baron was assassinated to death! Just last night, it was the body that I sewed by myself... The head is separated from the body. now..."

"The assassin escaped?"

Aaron was even more surprised by this.

"Yeah... It is said that the assassin is quite skilled in martial arts, able to fly over walls like a cat..."

Evie was clearly speaking as a joke.

After he finished speaking, he counted out a few silver coins and handed them to Aaron: "This is what the housekeeper asked me to give to you. The baron's funeral is not ordinary..."

"So I just need to choose the cemetery, and other things will naturally be done by distinguished people..."

Aaron shrugged and smiled happily.

"By the way, this is the attitude, we can just do our own thing."

Ivey also laughed.

Aaron thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "So... the new Lord Baron, is that Miss Catherine?"

"I don't know... I feel like it's unlikely. When I went to the castle, the person in charge had already become Mrs. Lilith."

Evie sighed.

...

Yanan Town.

When Aaron came to town, it was obvious that the atmosphere had changed a lot.

There was martial law everywhere, and the sheriff took the soldiers and searched from house to house.

Aunt Sophia from the grocery store was cursing because the soldiers smashed a lot of her goods.

Aaron went up with a smile, helped Aunt Sophia clean up the sundries, and then came to the pub.

At this time, the pub was naturally closed long ago.

He looked disappointed and turned to leave.

No one noticed that Aaron, who was walking on the road, had a smile on the corner of his mouth.

'Did you not leave? Must be injured! ’

Aaron has gained a lot of useful information through this seemingly fruitless wandering.

In his experience, if you start from the castle, you may find useful clues!

Then, find that assassin!

Aaron didn't believe that he could do such a thing and retreated completely, saying that the assassin had no extraordinary power.

‘But what happens when you find it? Taking in the other party...the other party repays the kindness and imparts the skills...Am I thinking too well? ’

'The whole barony is looking for him at this time, no... assassinating the nobles is an enemy of the entire noble class. Even the previous enemy, Baron Roland, will issue a wanted notice...'

'And... the other party should be involved in a conspiracy. ’

'It would be very troublesome to intervene rashly... and I don't have the strength to enter the vortex and escape! ’

"Power..."

Aaron sighed and went back to continue preparing for the Baron's funeral.

...

The funeral of Baron Lancaster was very grand and crowded.

But there are very few people who are truly sad.

As if it was a routine, after the baron was sent to the tomb, they began to sneer and sneer about various things... Finally, these self-proclaimed high-class guys still remember to maintain their identity in front of the commoners, and will not act like this Vixen scolding street-like things come.

If you want to scold... Probably go back and close the door and then scold.

Aaron watched from the sidelines, feeling as if he had watched a big play, which was very interesting.

It seemed that the only one who was saddened by the death of the Baron was Miss Catherine.

It's a pity that three years later, the other party is still a little girl less than fourteen years old. She is a little soft-spoken and can't do anything, even if she is made the heir!

'I don't think the old baron is stupid... He should have a series of plans for the establishment of an heir, at least to avoid chaos and loss of power... However, he was suddenly assassinated, and he didn't have time to display it. ’

Aaron thought for a while, then decided to go back to sleep.

It's none of his business anyway!

And he has always believed that time is the greatest director and will always give him a chance to perform.

Even if not now!

Even if it wasn't on that assassin!

...

The Baron's death was noisy for a while, and finally returned to a peaceful state of life.

In fact, no matter what, the flash is accidental, and the ordinary is the mainstream.

Aaron also continued to resume his two-point-one-line life.

Except for a little surprise in the change of power in the baronies, everything else is good.

According to Mrs. Lilith's consultation with the knights, Catherine was too young and needed a guardian, her sister, before she could become a lord.

Currently, the Barony is administered by guardians.

And after Ivey got drunk, he told Aaron that everyone was betting to see when Miss Catherine would die suddenly, or be forced into a husband who came out of nowhere.

It is the best ending to be sent away to marry.

The power struggle between nobles is so cruel.

Before you know it, months have passed.

Aaron returns from his herb garden with a bucket in hand.

Thanks to his previous experience, he plans to plant some herbal seeds that will take a long time to grow, and then slowly wait for the harvest.

The light of dusk is like gilding, sprinkled on the bluestone road of the cemetery.

In front of a luxurious tombstone, there was a small figure, sobbing in a low voice.

Aaron immediately bowed and saluted: "Miss Catherine!"

The crying little girl raised her head: "I know you...you are the grave keeper here...my father...is he doing well?"

Aaron has always been tolerant of children's nonsense.

He kept smiling and replied: "The baron has obtained eternal peace..."

Anyway, there is no cheating.

"very good……"

Catherine stood up and seemed to want to take out a little reward, but couldn't find anything suitable, and looked a little embarrassed.

At this time, a young attendant trotted over: "Miss, Mammy Leilis is looking for you everywhere, we're running out of time..."

He looks only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his body is thin, but his eyes are piercing, and he looks at Catherine, which makes Aaron feel a little wrong: "This old...little pervert! No...Catherine Not yet grown up!"

"Thank you for letting me know, Carlin, I'm going back now!"

Catherine carried her skirt and walked out of the cemetery with three steps.

At this moment, a snake came out of the grass.

choke!

Kalin's expression remained unchanged, the long sword in his hand was unsheathed, and the little snake was split into two sections.

He followed suit and left behind Catherine, like the most loyal guard.

Aaron, on the other hand, looked at Kalin's back and narrowed his eyes slightly: "This person...isn't right..."

...

three days later.

Evie's house.

Tracey was breastfeeding a baby, and saw Aaron come in and smiled at him without avoiding suspicion.

In fact, everyone is familiar with...

Aaron didn't feel embarrassed, and asked, "Is Ivey there?"

"exist."

Ivey walked out of the room. He seemed to be doing carpentry work. A wooden sword was half-formed.

"Is this a toy for Thor?"

Aaron looked at the baby in Tracy's arms.

"Yes, I hope he can become a powerful warrior in the future, it would be best if he can obtain the title of knight."

Ivey laughed and said, "Did you ask me to go to the pub? Sorry... I have quit drinking."

Glancing at Tracy, who was a little nervous, in the eyes of the other party, Aaron was probably the kind of friend who ruined her husband.

"This is a married man..."

Aaron sighed in his heart and smiled, "It's not this... I have other things for you."

"Oh? Let's go."

Ivey put down the wooden sword toy and walked with Aaron along a stream in front of the house.

"A few days ago, Catherine went to the cemetery and mourned the old baron... The castle won't blame me, right?"

Aaron looked worried and complained, "The people above are always throwing trouble on us, really..."

"This matter... You don't have to worry, Mrs. Lilith is not going to blame a grave keeper..."

Ivey thought about it for a while and comforted: "As for Catherine...she sneaked out, her attendant is that Carlin, I really didn't expect that the son of the cattle herder could do this, it is said that he beat him. After turning over the knight attendants who were in charge of guarding Catherine, I ran out with Catherine..."

The cattle herder is the person in charge of herding cattle in the village.

Because he has the right to use the cattle, he has a great position in the village, but in the eyes of the townspeople, that's the same thing...

"It's really amazing to overturn the knight attendant. Was he that amazing before?" Aaron made a look of admiration.

In fact, that's what he wanted to know.

That little guy from Carlin is quite interesting.

"I don't know... He used to be a villager, but there doesn't seem to be any rumors that the fight was particularly severe... This time, Mrs. Lilith didn't deal with him severely, and might even want to win him over to become a knight servant or even a future knight. I don't know why, he actually refused!"

When Ivey said this, he obviously felt incredible.

Knights are the number one thugs of nobles, and they are also equivalent to half of nobles. Once they become knights, the class is completely different.

Many free people have worked hard for hundreds of years for this purpose.

Although Ivey said that he hoped Thor would become a knight in the future, this was just a casual remark, and he didn't think there was much hope.

But Kalin actually refused the olive branch of the acting lord.

This is shocking!

"Young man... Maybe it's because of love." Aaron sighed with emotion.

He felt more and more that he seemed to have encountered the plot in the third-rate knight novel.

It is probably the story of a broken boy who picked up an injured expert, and then obtained a peerless inheritance, pretending to slap his face along the way, and by the way, he brought the beauty back.

As long as the skin is replaced, it can even be used for everything!

"However, it still needs to be verified."

Thinking of this, Aaron returned to the town and bought some supplies.

And, as if chatting casually, I chatted with Aunt Sophia a few words, and after confirming the batch of items that Kalin purchased, I became more certain.

The other party is very smart, of course, he did not buy some eye-catching items such as wound medicine through the grocery store.

But the consumption of one person is different from the consumption of two people.

As long as the suspect is identified, it is normal to follow the clues and find clues, and even feel suspicious no matter how you look at it!

'Time is indeed the greatest director...a savage boy is much easier to deal with than a murderous assassin. ’

'Or... I'll hold my hand again and wait until Kalin is about to die of old age? ’

On the way back, Aaron kept thinking about something.

Then, he encountered a surprise!

At the entrance of the cemetery, Kalin dressed as a servant is waiting for him!

"Lord Carlin, what's the matter?"

Aaron almost thought his plan that only existed in his heart was exposed, but his expression remained calm and he asked.

"Zorro, the tombkeeper... I heard that you have been selling potions in a small area?"

Carlin got to the point as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Yes...you need?"

Aaron looked down unconsciously.

"no!"

Kalin was a little annoyed and said: "I need specific herbs... I know that the medicines you sell are in them. I will buy them for a long time, and the price will make you satisfied."

As he spoke, he threw a purse over.

Aaron opened it, and a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Okay, okay, no problem..."

"I need sun-dried long leaves, mandala petals, and venom grass... I will pick up the goods once a week, remember to keep it secret, otherwise..."

When Kalin left, he deliberately stroked the hilt of the sword as a threat.

After all, that's enough for this kind of inferior.
