Chapter 583 Unexpected Situations
Shitou didn't stay in the tavern for too long. After eating and drinking, he chatted with everyone for a while and then went home to rest.

Then Pauli said to him: "We will take you back."

Shitou smiled and said, "I'm not a child, are you afraid that I'll get lost?"

Someone in the pub called out, "Paul, do you want to learn how to take your nephew home?"

Ignoring the laughter of the crowd, Boli said seriously, "Don't forget who you offended. I'm worried that he will plot against you."

When the drinkers around heard this, they realized it was true. Even if Shi Tou didn't end up doing a handstand and having diarrhea in the arena, if he won the next game he would have to give three cans to everyone in the arena, which was a considerable sum of money.

Someone immediately said, "Yes, we must be careful now, for fear that person might plot something."

"I'll take you back too."

The other drinkers also nodded.

"Yes, yes, it would be terrible if we ambushed you and got you hurt."

"If we lose in the arena, that's fine, but if we lose in a conspiracy, that's not good."

"You have to be careful about what you eat starting tomorrow. Let Boli prepare it."

Everyone stood up and prepared to escort Shitou back.

Shitou was quite moved. He bowed to everyone and said, "Thank you for your concern."

The tavern soon became empty, with only a few strangers and regular customers with mobility problems remaining.

Writers are all emotional people. Ludovico sighed, "There are so many good people in this world," and suddenly a knot in his mind was untied.

At this moment he understood what Grand Duke Wessen meant by the brilliance of human nature.

Ludovico paid the bill and immediately walked out of the tavern quickly and caught up with the large group.

The security in the city at night has been poor recently, so additional city defense troops have been dispatched to patrol.

Suddenly, a large group of people were walking on the street in a noisy manner. Those who led the way were all strong and ferocious, with weapons in their hands. A team of city defense troops were scared and immediately formed a defensive formation.

Polly was worried about encountering a master, so he asked someone to go back to the butcher's shop and get their pipe hammers and knives.

These butchers have no shortage of meat to eat. They all have muscles on their bodies. After killing so many pigs, they become fierce and carry weapons. In the dark, they can scare children to tears.

Boli immediately went over to negotiate, and the city defense troops breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the city defense troops did not dare to let these people run around in the city, so they divided into two teams, one team leading the way in front and the other following behind.

This place was not far from Shitou's residence. After walking for more than ten minutes, the group was about to arrive at their destination safely when the city defense soldiers in front suddenly shouted and ran forward.

When Shitou noticed that they stopped in front of his house, he was startled and ran over immediately.

Boli also realized that the situation was not good, so he followed over. What he saw made him gnashed with anger.

Adly said that she would come to Shi Tou's house after get off work today to help this guy wash clothes. Now she was lying at the door of Shi Tou's house with a dagger stuck in her chest, and the blood had dyed the store uniform on her chest bright red.

The captain of the city defense army reached out and touched her neck, shouting, "She's still alive, send her to get treatment!"

Shitou had just lost his mind. When he heard the shout, he hurriedly said, "Let's go to the church next door. The bishop there can treat injuries well!"

There are many wounded in the arena, and the priests in the church next door have experience points every few days, and their levels are not low.

The soldiers of the city defense army immediately made a stretcher with their spears and clothes provided by others, lifted Adele and followed the stone to run towards the church.

The drinkers didn't expect such an accident to happen, so they all followed.

Ludovico was the last one to come, and when he saw the door of the Stone House was open, he shouted, "Leave a few people to watch the door!"

Boli was running in front. After hearing the shouting, he turned around and asked several butchers to stay.

Ludovico followed the large group to the church, where the bishop and the nuns were taking Adele into the side room for treatment.

He walked over, showed the bishop the family emblem on his ring, and said seriously: "Don't worry about spending money on the medicine, I'll guarantee it." The bishop nodded, then went over to treat the wounded.

Pauli went over and took Ludovico's hand, thanking him profusely.

Shitou threw all the money he had into the donation box, knelt on the mat in front of the altar, and began to pray.

There was a silly little monk in the church. When he saw someone donating money, he took a box and said to the stone, "Brother, take a ticket."

The box is filled with palm-sized packets made of thick white paper. Every believer who donates a certain amount of money can draw one.

Shi Tou was feeling upset at the moment, so he picked one at random, tore open the sturdy packaging, and took out a colorful card from it.

The color printing and cardboard cards of the Principality of Wessen can finally print beautiful color cards, which are protected by transparent thin hard plastic boards on the outside, making them look high-end and classy.

The cards sold in the church all represent saints in church history, including scholars, doctors, warriors, etc. It is said that whoever's card is drawn, the God of Light will send this saint to protect the drawer through difficulties.

The stone drawn was a knight from more than three hundred years ago.

This knight experienced countless hardships and difficulties in the war with pagans, but finally completed his mission and made immortal contributions, so he was canonized.

Shitou solemnly clasped the card in his palms and placed it against his forehead.

He felt as if he had received divine revelation, and the disaster before him was just a test from the gods.

The city defense forces reported the matter to higher authorities. They originally thought it was a common case of robbery and murder, but they did not expect that the response would be an order for a city-wide curfew and a large-scale manhunt.

Frederick did not learn the news until the next morning.

"Shi Tou's armor and sword were stolen?" Frederick frowned.

Aleppe said cautiously, "Yes, Shitou's house also has valuable magic crystal pots and other things that are easy to steal. There have been many cases of stealing magic crystal pots in the city recently, but the criminals didn't take anything, only armor and weapons."

"The neighbors on both sides and opposite the Shitou family are all from the arena. The families closest to them were invited by their head coach to drink last night and were not there when the crime happened."

He had to be careful about Frederick's reaction.

After the city defense army reported the case last night, the officer discovered that something happened at the home of a contestant in the real sword competition, so he informed the organizer.

After checking, the organizers found out that something had happened to the player on whom Grand Duke Wesson had placed a huge bet of 5,000 gold coins, so they immediately ran to report to the Grand Duke of Milan.

The Grand Duke of Milan was holding a small cocktail party with the theme of sharing a cake at the time. When he heard the news, he dropped the wine glass in his hand and ordered that the criminals must be arrested.

First, Grand Duke Wesson had a keen eye for talent and bet 5,000 gold coins on this player. Then, this player unexpectedly defeated the player with the highest chance of winning the championship in the competition. Now the player's weapons and equipment have been stolen. Will Grand Duke Wesson think that the Duchy of Milan is targeting him and preventing him from winning money?

If Grand Duke Wesson becomes dissatisfied with the Duchy of Milan because of this, and the clothing industry is not kept here, the golden goose that lays eggs will fly away.

The Grand Duke of Milan, who holds military power in Milan, and the businessmen of all sizes in the parliament who hold administrative power are discussing how to divide the cake. If Frederick were to walk away at this time, the Grand Duke of Milan might be so angry that his 80th birthday would turn into a funeral.

The head coach of the arena was the first to be arrested because he was the only one who had a huge conflict with Stone, and that alone was enough.

The second person to be arrested was the grandson of the Grand Duke of Milan. He was on duty at the city gate last night and let a carriage escape.

However, both of them were people of high status and could not be tortured. They insisted that they had nothing to do with the matter and the relevant departments could do nothing about it.

Frederick made no comment, but said, "Let's go to the arena."

Before he could leave, Kale came hurriedly over, presented him with a paper roll tied with a hemp rope, and said, "Sir, this was found in the food we purchased this morning. We can't undo the magic on it."

Frederick took the scroll and it said "it's for him" on it.

There was a powerful magical energy on the hemp rope. It looked like a slipknot, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't untie it.

Frederick smiled and took the hemp rope off the paper roll as if he was taking a ring off his finger.

Kale's face turned black.

Frederick glanced at the letter, turned around and handed it to Aleppo, saying, "Give it to the Grand Duke of Milan and go to Rey's house to arrest him."
