My Summons Are Weird

Chapter 99: the weight of peace

Lu Yu is not interested in the factional struggle on the elves' side, and just wants to explore the Silent Mountains as soon as possible and find the secrets left by the ninth-order magician Sayer.

But looking at the current situation, there is a high probability that the elf king will not return to Soresan until he can get a word to appease the hearts of the people.

In order to go to Soresen as soon as possible, Lu Yu took Heather and Aesop aside alone and told them his thoughts.

Heather was nothing, Aesop's eyes trembled.

Lu Yu yawned, waved to them, and went back to rest.

Whoever benefits from continuing the war will be the murderer.

It seems to be a very simple idea, but there are not a few elves in Soresan who want to suppress Grande through war, and there are several factions.

After Aesop reported Lu Yu's thoughts to the Elf King, for two consecutive days, they waited for the malicious incitement from the elves.

However, no one has expressed dissatisfaction, and no one has opposed the peace talks. Most people believe that the Grand Empire can properly resolve the death of their companions and bring this indiscriminate murderer to justice.

The domestic information channels also informed the Elf King that everything was normal, and there was no commotion about the matter.

Assuming that Lu Yu's guess is correct, it can only be said that the imitator in this elf is very cautious and resolutely does not reveal his faults.

Because of the death of Thoresen's elves, the Knights of the Wind Feather and the Imperial Guards have stepped up patrols near Soaresson's station. Even on daily trips, guards will be escorted to crowded places from a distance to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy. .

Heather took the detailed report of the previous murderer's crime and read it carefully for a long time, but still could not judge whether it was from the same murderer.

The common denominator of the previous victims was their youth, but this time it was an elves who died, and their lifespans were different from those of most races. Murderers can’t be killed by converting their age first, right?

Just when Radna and the Imperial Knights were all over the city to investigate suspicious magicians, an unsigned letter was sent to the Star Knights and asked Heather to unpack it in person.

The strange letter made Heather suspicious, and she opened the letter after multiple tests to confirm that there was nothing unusual.

"There are too many imitators. I'm not very satisfied with their poor performance. I only recognize seven of the seventeen lives."

There was thunder in Heather's head.

The text on the letter is crooked, obviously not written with his dominant hand.

This tone seems to be a genuine killer who the Imperial Knights have been tracking for a year but found nothing.

Heather quickly asked the companion who was in charge of receiving the letter, and learned that the letter was sent here by a child running errands for others.

Just when Heather started the people of the stars to look for the child, the child who delivered the letter came to the door with the letter again.

The unkempt boy was obviously a beggar in the city, but in his left hand he was carrying a paper bag from a famous deli shop in the city, and the aroma wafting from it was mouthwatering.

"When I dozed off, a piece of paper fell from the top of my head, and I asked me to take the letter that was under the stone not far away and bring it here. The reward is to eat in this bag..."

Surrounded by a crowd of mighty knights, the boy's voice became smaller and smaller.

Although he was young, his poverty made him more sensible than his peers. When he saw this battle, he didn't know that he was involved in trouble.

The boy hurriedly knelt to the ground, trembling and begging for mercy: "I don't know anything, I'm really just here to deliver things, please forgive me, gentlemen."

He is so skilled that people like Xingchen who have been promoted from the bottom are distressed.

A big man picked up the boy and patiently asked some details. He heard the boy's stomach growling and asked with a smile, "Why, he gave you something to eat, didn't you eat it?"

"He entrusted me with errands. I haven't done it yet, how can I eat."

"Then you can eat it now, we'll take it." Heather asked the logistics partner to give the child a few copper coins while opening the letter.

Unexpectedly, the boy shook his head quickly.

"I don't want copper coins, and I can't spend the money when I have it. Can you guys let me do things for you... I have good legs and I can do the handyman work!"

"Thinking beautifully, we have nothing you can do. Xingchen will not enslave children. This is the rule set by the head of the regiment."

"Since he's homeless, let him go to my place. I still have some space in my house, so it's okay to share his meals."

After a few words, everyone helped the boy find a place to stay, and then raised their heads to look at Heather, hoping to know what the killer said in this letter.

Heather showed them the letter in her hand.

A blank sheet of paper.

"Are you sure this is what the other party asked you to send?"

The boy was immersed in the excitement of not having to sleep on the street and meeting good people. Hearing Heather's question, he nodded hastily.

"This letter is under the stone nearby. There is nothing else. I will not take it wrong."

Heather swept across the paper with magic power in confusion, reconfirming that it was a blank piece of paper, with no information at all.

I really couldn't understand the meaning of the blank paper sent by the other party. Heather waited for a day without waiting for a new letter.

Just when she was about to inform Feng Yu and the Imperial Knights of the existence of this letter, a bouquet of flowers was sent to the Star Knights.

Heather quickly found a letter among the flowers.

"Okay, I am very satisfied with the reputation of the stars. Archmage Heather, I heard that you are hunting me around because I killed the elves of Soresan. For this accusation, I can only express regret, because you found the wrong murderer. "

"I have no reason to speak. I want to meet Heather alone. Of course, because Miss Heather is too famous, even if I believe in your character, I have to make some preparations."

"The eldest daughter of Viscount Wentu in Dongcheng District has been invited to my side. If the conversation is not interrupted, she will go home intact."

"Meanwhile I hope that you will invite another distinguished guest for me, Sir Lu Yu, who is about to travel to Soresan."

The address given on the back of the letter was on the edge of a pasture west of the capital.

Heather frowned, then suddenly realized.

This murderer was actually paying attention to the whereabouts of the little boy, and he had sent a blank letter just to see their reaction.

But at random, Heather was a little puzzled.

Even if the murderer finds himself, why should Lu Yu be involved? He doesn't seem to know Lu Yu and has no way to contact him.

It's really weird.

However, since he has some features and can directly judge that the murderer is not the same person, Heather must take action.

Lu Yu heard that the murderer named him by name, even more inexplicable than Heather.

What's wrong with this?

However, I heard that the other party has already tied a meat ticket, and may also involve some information related to the murder of the elves, Lu Yu did not say much, and cooperated decisively.

The agreed time to meet was late that night, and Heather dutifully did not inform anyone other than Lu Yu. In order to ensure the emotional stability of the authentic murderer, Lu Yu did not call Sigrid and Wu Yao, and only brought Lulutis.

It's normal for a summoner to carry a summoned item with you, and you didn't say you couldn't bring it.

In the bright moonlight, three torches were lit on a small hay-stacked house on the edge of the ranch, exactly what the killer had said on the back of the letter.

Heather pushed open the wooden door of the grass barn and stepped forward on the scattered hay. After a while, she glanced at the person lying on the second floor, looking down at her.

The light in the house was very dim, and the moonlight from the roof of the grass barn barely illuminated the outline of the murderer.

Murderer wears a furry black cat hood with only bright eyes.

His body is well-proportioned, and his stature is neither tall nor short in the Grand Empire. He belongs to the kind of person who cannot be found if he is thrown into the sea of ​​people. He has no characteristics and is very ordinary.

Heather raised her head and said to the murderer: "I came as promised, and I also brought Sir Lu Yu, but I didn't bring anyone at the same time, completely meeting the conditions you mentioned, I need to know the eldest daughter of the Viscount family. How is it now?"

After receiving the letter, Heather secretly confirmed the situation near Viscount Vento's house. The eldest daughter did not return after going out for work, but because the eldest daughter of the Vento family communicated too frequently, the family really didn't take it to heart. go.

"Don't worry, although I have been assigned the title of murderer by you, I never kill people indiscriminately."

If the Murderer didn't disguise his voice, then he should be a man, because the voice is thick and powerful.

"Don't kill people, all the seventeen innocent victims committed suicide!" Heather asked sharply.

The Murderer didn't answer Heather immediately, but turned his head to look at Lu Yu, his eyes stayed on Lulutis behind Lu Yu for a few seconds.

"Thank you Sir Lu Yu from a foreign country for being here. I know you must be wondering why I asked you to go with Miss Heather. You will get the answer you want later."

"Now, let me answer Miss Heather's question just now." The murderer declared in a serious tone, "I only killed seven people, and all of them deserve to die.

"It's pretty fair."

Knowing that Heather didn't believe it, the murderer tapped the wooden guardrail with his finger and chuckled, "Does Miss Heather know about the blood bank?"

Heather, who had ridiculed the murderer for whitewashing herself just now, was stunned, the smile on her face disappeared little by little, and she stared at the murderer.

"It seems that you know, then do you know that not only the blood bank, but also the heart bank, and even, they like to refer to those people as 'exhibition cabinets'."

"you…"

"You are also a magician. You should know that some people in this group will take some crooked ways that ordinary people can't think of in order to pursue more powerful magic and more powerful medicine."

"The materials for goblins, slimes, tree spirits, etc. are not new, so... demihumans, people, have become objects."

"A homeless child can be deceived with a few moldy biscuits and an unpalatable mouthful of bran. The people who deceive them know exactly what will happen to them, but they don't care. ."

"In the eyes of these liars, what these 'exhibition cabinets' become has nothing to do with them, they only care about how long they can spend the money they get, and if they spend it fast, they expect the next business to come to the door as soon as possible. "

"Probably doing too many bad things, these people actually chose to repent to the gods. The way of repentance is to get the money to pay tribute to the gods, and then keep praying... By the way, their general self-comfort is 'who told them stupid'."

Every word of the murderer is full of chills. At first, Lu Yu, who didn't know the slang, was still in a fog. After hearing it, he was cold all over, but a nameless evil fire kept rising from the bottom of his heart. He clenched his fists.

Lulutis even took a deep breath in the chat room. Although she didn't say a word, Lu Yu could still feel her anger.

"The first one I killed was in order to survive, and I said a lot. When I heard that a child followed him and had enough to eat, and when he got home, he washed and cooked for him, hoping to have a place in his new home... "

The murderer took out a dagger and slapped it on the guardrail.

"He thought that as long as he said everything, even if it was a confession, I would accept his confession, but unfortunately, I didn't plan to let him go. In my opinion, he is not a human being, just a beast in human skin. ."

Heather recalled the deceased in the first murder case and suddenly understood why his body was so mutilated.

Immediately afterwards, the cat-faced killer started talking about the second, the third...it wasn't over until the seventh.

Every one he kills is related to this chain of sin.

"Why don't you tell the people of the Tribunal about these matters, even the Knights."

Lu Yu replied on behalf of the murderer: "Maybe it's a lawsuit, but no one cares at all, let me guess... These people are just scumbags, and the real master is something you can't deal with at all."

"Sir Lu Yu is really wise." The murderer bowed slightly to Lu Yu to show respect, "I'm just a small person, far less powerful than you think."

"During this period, because of me, many vicious crimes were detained under my banner. It is my masterpiece... Smart and wise Archmage Heather, do you think... Is this imitation or intentional behavior?"

Heather murmured: "They know you exist, so they put all the blame on you, the murderer..."

Heather was cold.

Lu Yu asked curiously, "But you still didn't tell me, why did you invite me here, we don't know each other?"

"Yes, I just heard people talk about you, and I know that you are a good-tempered seventh-order magician, and you have been invited by the Kingdom of Sorecen to go to Soresen."

"Two days ago, Sorecen's elves were killed. There are rumors that I did it, and some people have said that this will make the relationship between the two countries tense again."

"So I need to come out and clarify, but I can't swagger into the Knights and tell you that I am a murderer, so I can only use this method to invite the two of you to listen to me and prove my innocence."

"One of you is a genius girl from the past in the empire, and the other is a seventh-order magician from a foreign country. At the same time, you can talk to the elf king of Soresen, which is my best choice."

Self-certified innocence, these words from the mouth of the cat-faced murderer are extraordinarily funny, and even make Lu Yu feel absurd.

"Have you never thought that it's impossible to escape if you show up?"

The cat-faced killer laughed.

"Sir Lu Yu may not believe it, but I actually love Grande very much. There are my relatives and friends in this land. Since I was a child, my neighbors often shared delicious food with me, and the extra fabrics would also be Stay for me and make scarves and hats for me."

"But one day, there was only crying left in the house of the neighbor who often brought me food. All three children died because their family went to the front line."

"One day, the uncle who always gave me clothes said goodbye to me because he didn't want his child to be sent to the front line, so he took up arms in his place...and he never came back."

"I don't know when it started. Those neighbors who like to laugh don't like to laugh anymore. They just sit under the tree and look into the distance, waiting for people who can't come back. They keep talking all day long."

"Twenty years...two generations, really enough."

The Murderer's voice was a little choked: "Two generations of people filled in, for this country, for this land that nurtured us, we shed our blood, and finally waited for peace."

"This peace is due to my favorite group of people, but they have disappeared."

"I'm a coward. I've avoided it time and time again. Even doing things is sneaky, but this time I don't want to hide anymore."

"If you take me to see the Elf King, you can explain everything clearly..." The cat-faced killer raised his hands, "Then I'll stand here, please do."
