Alien world

Chapter 71. 70. Who is the murderer
"what--!!!"

There was a scream coming from nowhere.

Like a horn blowing, the formerly polite and reserved guests fled like timid goblins.They panicked, circled around the living room, blocked each other's way, bumped into each other and huddled together, smashed the window and turned out, inexplicably grabbed the maid's wine glass and poured it out——

Augusta Olmedo stared at the chaos in front of him, exuding a tranquility opposite to the chaos: "Look, the crowd gathered for the benefit is like a fragile sand pile."

"They seem to be afraid of you."

Annan's attention was on the old man who called himself "Augusta Olmedo".

He was somewhat contradictory - the part about being attacked made Annan wary of the old man, and the part of the happy conversation made Annan feel that the old man didn't look like a bad person.

Augusta Olmedo simply said: "People who hold together because of fear, also flee because of fear."

"One more person."

Annan's eyes fell on the silhouette sitting on the sofa, and he lowered his head calmly, like a real big man who looked at everything in front of him indifferently.

Ida Holloway - Annan remembered the name.Even Annan admired his calmness, which relieved the tension of knowing the truth.

Augusta Olmedo glanced over. "He just fainted."

Ida Holloway, head bowed, was motionless.

"Have you always been like this?" Annan turned his attention away wordlessly, "What you say is always full of philosophy."

It was difficult for Annan to distinguish the wise, philosophical, gray-haired, beautiful light blue eyes from the murderer.The "Augusta Olmedo" he imagined was a hook-nosed, deep-socketed, cold, ruthless conspirator who spread conspiracy, fear, and death.

"Appearance can't describe a person. Similarly, rumors can't describe a person." Augusta Olme looked at Annan with appreciation: "You are better than I imagined, like a mage rather than a warlock. So I am very happy strangeness……"

"Why do you want to impersonate Levi's?"

Annan subconsciously wanted to deny it, but he thought that Augusta Olmedo would not be indiscriminate, and he really didn't want to pretend to be another person: "You know?"

"I met Levi's when he was a kid. He was a lively boy who could play with anyone. He didn't look like an aristocrat at all."

Augusta Olmedo's kindness gave Annan the opportunity to question: "But he died because he blocked the way of your son."

"Son, don't you realize? That's not me..."

Annan didn't believe much, but he did begin to wonder if there was another murderer in the attack on Levi's.

Because the countdown seen in the "Apocalypse Forecast" is not today.If the evil spirit game is correct, today is not a major event for Annan.

Or is the countdown to the "Apocalypse Forecast" dynamic?It is annihilated and reborn every moment by the ever-changing future.

"If you want to convince me, I need a reason."

Augusta Olmedo, the epic mage, talked to himself calmly, which showed that he didn't want to do anything yet.

Of course, it may also be the play of the beast before eating its prey.

"Who do you think the murderer is?"

"I don't know." Annan shook his head.

"Hmm..." Ida Holloway raised her head in confusion amidst a low moan.

"I will provide some clues, you can guess." Augusta Olmedo is like an elder imparting knowledge: "Whoever wants to test the twelve kings of the northern border, I hope there will be turmoil in Breeze City, and support belongs to Your own power?"

Annan replied after deliberation and careful deduction: "You."

"Gah-"

Ida Holloway, who had just woken up, passed out again.

"It's the Rat Man."

Augusta Olmedo corrected.

"A Ratman clan was driven out of the south. They have been trying to corrupt the North over the years. They have taken down Kenedin County in the south. Now, these rodent monsters are wandering around Plumbow County, ready to get their hands on it every city in the world, including Breeze."

About the Ratman, Annan knew part of it from the bard's stories and books.

For example, they have a terrifying ability to reproduce.

But what really scares other races is that the rat people don't follow the law of "the stronger they are, the harder it is to give birth", at least not completely, so the rat people kidnap professionals everywhere and give birth to blood.

And the Ratmen can manipulate the rats, which are part of the town.A town without rats is a terrible thing, and a town full of rats is a very terrible thing.That means the town has no secrets.

This is far more terrifying than a frenzy or greenskins - as rat swarms often take cities from the inside.

So almost every town has scavengers trying to keep the rat population under control.

And the Ratmen almost never fight among themselves.

The elves are divided into night elves, high elves, wood elves, underground elves, and city elves.Human beings were divided into countless countries to fight. This is true of dwarves and orcs, but it is rare to hear that one group of ratmen wiped out another group of ratmen.

"Chaos is their breeding ground. So, don't create chaos..."

"If you're not the murderer, why didn't you explain to the Reeves family?" Annan asked.

"That's too late."

"Okay, what do you want to do?"

"Propagate your reputation, we will dig out the ratmen hiding in the city. Half a month later, you announce the truth and smooth the chaos."

And Annan will also get rid of the troublesome identity of the king of the north.

"I need time to think."

"Remember children, those who seem to be helping you may be conspiring, and those who are about to kill you may be helping you."

……

"and then?"

"Ida Holloway woke up, and he was so frightened that he lost that memory. I had to tell him that a lunatic broke in and smashed it, and he was accidentally knocked out."

Annan got himself a glass of water. "Should I trust him?"

Michael looked at Annan: "Are you really not Levi's?"

Annan said frankly: "No. Although it is too coincidental, there is this mage's robe, but I really have nothing to do with the Twelve Kings of the North."

"What do you think?"

Annan thought for a while: "Augusta Olmedo has a magical power that convinces me...not magic, but his wisdom."

"But I only saw that those who wanted to join you were scared away by him, and no one would want to join you in the future, destroying your plan to win allies." Michael sighed: "Annan, a person said It doesn't matter what he does, what matters is what he did."

"You have to prepare for the worst. Get rid of you as a fake after you use it."

Annan fell into silence and thought.

"But at least one suggestion is correct." Michael suddenly said seriously: "You really need fame, you need to be known by more people."
