I was expelled from the team and was recruited by the demons?

Branch of the Order.

Eli sat alone behind a desk in the interrogation room

, quietly waiting for someone to come and question him.

Just now, the reaction between Anna and him was fully seen by Christine on the stage.

So, he was brought here by the Knights, and became a suspect in planning yesterday's attack.

At this time, Christine and Anna were standing outside the door of the interrogation room.

To be exact, it was Christine who was one-sidedly questioned.

"Mistress Christine."

Anna respectfully knelt on one knee and saluted, her family was also an earl, but it was the glory of the family, not hers.

Moreover, today's Christine, but with her own military exploits, she has won the same title as her family.

Therefore, the status gap between the two is self-evident.

"I don't like the red tape, just tell me everything you know."

Christine frowned, she has been in the military all the year round, so she naturally can't get used to these cumbersome aristocratic etiquette.

"Yes."

Anna stood up and told her all she knew.

And Christine's eyes gradually became a little weird with her statement.

That thing is a gift to be given, the key is that the person who received the gift also gave it and sold it?

The person who gave the gift was miserable.

And Anna wasn't lying, she just cut some parts.

Like what...... She didn't say anything about how the necklace was sold, and who it ended up with.

And there is no doubt that all the spearheads are concentrated on Eli.

When Christine knew that the person who gave the gift was the young man who was in the interrogation room at this time, her brows suddenly furrowed tightly.

"I see, thank you Miss Anna, please go back."

Christine raised her hand, clearly indicating that she had no intention of sending off the guests.

“...... Can I ask what you would do with Eli if the person who attacked him that day was really Eli?

Anna hesitated for a moment, but asked the question anyway.

"It's not a death sentence, after all, he just broke in, and he didn't cause any substantial damage."

Christine raised her eyebrows, she didn't know why, she always felt that the woman in front of her was a little conflicted.

Judging from the words she had just confessed, she should not have protected the young man named "Eli", but now she seems to be very concerned about whether Eli will really be executed.

"So... If you have any questions in the future, please feel free to contact me. With that

, Anna slowly left the place.

Christine turned around, pushed open the door to the interrogation room, and then ordered the others not to disturb, and sat down across from Eli.

"Tea?"

Christine raised her head and looked at the teenager in front of her and asked.

"No need."

Eli shook his head, even now, he still couldn't come back to his senses.

He had a vague idea of a possibility in his mind, but he wasn't sure.

"I've gotten a general idea about the necklace, and I've learned a little about you from your past companions."

Christine placed her fingers staggered on the table and calmly stared at the teenager in front of her.

She was observing, observing whether the person in front of her showed signs of weakness.

The reason why she still treats Eli with courtesy is because she doesn't feel any timidity from the young man.

No...... Rather than being timid, it's better to say that what she feels the most is...

Disappointment, and bitterness.

"Former companion, did she tell you that?"

Eli tugged at the corners of her mouth, but didn't say much.

"You used to belong to the same guild, so I used this title, is there anything wrong with that?"

Christine asked.

"No, it's okay, you can continue."

Eli shook his head, he didn't want to waste any more time on the subject.

"Then I'll make it clear, I've seen your profession, and it says forger, but according to my subordinates, the person who attacked us that day was definitely a combat type profession, so I won't doubt you."

Christine cocked her legs, her fingertips tapping lightly on the tabletop.

"I just want to ask you one question, who did you sell the necklace to?"

“...... Black market.

Eli replied lightly.

"Black market?"

Christine frowned, clearly not satisfied with the answer.

"As far as I know, the Adventurers' Guild has a special agency for recycling equipment, so there's no need to take this risk and sell things on the black market."

"That's right, but the black market is more expensive, as long as it's negotiated."

This is true.

Even though Cynthia broke Eli's heart at the time, Eli decided to fight for the best of the guild.

He went to great lengths to negotiate a price with the black marketeers, and eventually brought a huge amount of money to the guild.

"You... It's more powerful than I thought.

Christine exclaimed heartily.

After all, how insidious the gang on the black market was, as a member of the Knights, she knew all too well.

Eli didn't reply, just silently raised his head and stared at the girl in front of him.

When she was stared at by Eli, Christine was surprised to find that she had a slight idea of retreating subconsciously.

The young man in front of her gave her a feeling of extreme danger for no reason just now.

How could it be, he's just a forger!

"During this time, you may have to stay in the Order for the time being, we will not detain you, and we will take care of your food and living until the prisoner is caught."

Christine forcibly suppressed her mind and expressed her meaning to Eli.

"House arrest?"

Eli smiled and didn't hesitate to puncture the other party's approach.

“...... Not a house arrest, but you're the only one with the clue now, and we have to keep you.

Christine replied with some displeasure, it was clear that she didn't like Eli's way of speaking.

"I can't say yes to this, I still have companions, and I need to be with them."

Eli shook her head faintly and rejected Christine.

"I'm not talking to you, I'm just informing you."

Christine's eyes froze, and she planned to suppress Eli in her aura.

Although she didn't want to do this, but in this situation, she could only use Eli as a breakthrough.

If nothing else, Eli will need to identify the black market merchants at least later.

"I'm not talking to you, I'm just making my opinion clear."

Eli's hand quietly touched the dagger at his waist, and if necessary, he was afraid that he would inevitably have to do it.

"Lord Christine, someone wants to see you."

Just as the two of them were tense, a knight's voice came from outside the door.

Christine snorted, then stood up and walked out the door, turning back to Eli to say the last words as she left the interrogation room.

"I advise you not to hold that knife anymore, or things will get ugly."

With that, she walked straight in the direction of the council hall.

Eli didn't speak, he just quietly put the dagger away, then felt in his clothes, and took out a small hammer for forging.

He knew that he really couldn't beat Christine with his rank alone.

But don't forget, sometimes, he also has a one-off skill that can make it a hit.

Christine came to the council chamber, and when she saw the two figures sitting in the hall, she couldn't help but exclaim:

"Teacher?!"
