Not a Witch

"It's just a few words every time they come and go, it's really boring to communicate with them."

Rachel began to complain that everyone around her had little literary literacy, and she was not interested in anything other than calculating accounts and making money all day long.

Then Rachel started talking about various literatures, novels, and plays. Although Loren Hill had basically never heard of it, she just nodded in agreement occasionally, and she was very happy.It can be seen that she is a girl who likes that kind of romantic story very much, and there is no one around her to communicate with for a long time.

"Do you know, Lacey, my favorite is the legendary Knights of Lightning, and the leader Aell is so handsome."

The Knights of Lightning is a legend that appeared in the third era. Its leader, Aell, and the founding monarch of the West Wind Kingdom are close friends. The two families have been married many times, and now the Knights of Lightning is also a royal family directly belonging to the West Wind Royal Family. The Knights have left many glorious achievements and legends in history.

The story of the head of the group, Aell, is also very exciting. After continuous beautification by later generations, and through opera performances, he is a household name on the mainland.Although he is a person from hundreds of years ago, he is still regarded as a hero in the hearts of countless young people and a perfect object in the hearts of thousands of girls.

The happy time always passed quickly, and the banquet was gradually coming to an end, when a young butler came over.

"Hello, Miss Lacey. I'm Owen, the housekeeper of the Agartyling family. I'm sorry to disturb you. Our master, Lord Jerinker, invites you to sit in the study next to you, and I want to get to know your father, Lord Angus. thing."

"Okay, I'll go later." Roland Hill stood up, motioned to the butler and the head maid in the distance, and then followed the young butler out of the hall and approached the corridor next to him.

Seeing that her new friend of the same age was invited by her father to leave, Rachel was a little puzzled.

"When did my father become so serious?"

As the girl left the hall, subtle footsteps could be heard from many corners of Agatilin's dark place, and the sound of armor colliding occasionally could be heard.

Chapter 42 Jelinek's Inquiry

The hallway of Yagtilin's house passed through the garden in the courtyard. The stone pillars along the corridor were carved with patterns of shells and mermaids, which were clearly visible in the bright moonlight.

After leaving the party hall with the butler, the surrounding environment became quiet, and only the noise and music of the banquet in the distance could be heard occasionally.

The young housekeeper walked in front, holding a black iron lantern in his hand. The orange light reflected the road under his feet. Under the shadow of the light, his face was uncertain.

"Miss Lacey is coming to Agtilin's house for the first time. In fact, Lord Angus used to come here often, so you don't have to be too restrained."

"Well, it's my first time here, so I should be familiar with it in the future."

The girl looked at the bright full moon in the sky, and occasionally swept across the gradually quiet and dark courtyard, and asked.

"Is the study of the Jelinkards far from here?"

"It's just around the corner from the front. Master likes to work in a quiet place. I'm sorry to invite you so late."

He explained naturally, but his footsteps did not stop.

Roland Hill looked at the butler's back, sighed softly, and continued to follow.

dong dong——

The door of the dark red lacquered wood was knocked on, and the lights scattered in the room could be seen from the crack of the door.

"Please come in."

squeak-

As the door opened, a middle-aged man could be seen sitting at the desk. A small table and sofa were temporarily placed indoors. On the small table was a small night light, as well as snacks and fruits.There are also several candle lamps on the indoor walls, which illuminate the room.

"Miss Lacey, please take a seat."

Jelink stood up from his seat, invited Roland Hill to sit on the sofa by the small table, and then sat himself on the opposite sofa.

Afterwards, the housekeeper Owen brought two more drinks on the small table, then backed out of the room and closed the door.

"Miss Lacey, maybe it's a bit unfamiliar to call it this way. I prefer to call it Lacey's niece, because Angus and I have been good friends for many years, just like brothers."

"It doesn't matter, you are a friend of Father Father, so it doesn't matter if you call me that." Loren Hill, who is also Lacey, answered with the drink in his hand.

"I am very saddened and have many questions about your father's sudden death."

"I know it's very rude, but as a friend of his life, I really want to understand the process of the attack at that time."

"You don't mind asking."

"Where was Lacey's niece attacked?"

"It was on the west wind's road to Verga..." Then Roland Hill restored the attack based on what he saw at the time.

"So, did your father transfer all his property to you before he died?"

"Yes."

"Was anyone else present at the time?"

"The housekeeper Ceres and the head maid Chelsea are also present." The girl looked at the reddish fruit wine in her hand and replied unhurriedly.

"So, Chelsea is also there..." The middle-aged man seemed to sigh and sigh.

"Uncle Jelink, you seem to have a lot of confusion."

Jelink picked up the fruit wine in front of him, took a sip, and said.

"Yeah, I don't understand, Chelsea actually betrayed Angus." After speaking, the glass in his hand fell, smashed and shattered.

The door of the room was slammed open, and more than a dozen guards wearing burqa and chainmail rushed in. They held long spears and crossbows and surrounded Roland Hill.

More than a dozen sharp spears were aimed at the girl in the blue dress. The blade of the gun reflected cold light in the candlelight, while the six crossbowmen stood behind Jelink and raised their crossbow bows at the girl with a dreamy face. The black matte crossbow has a faint magic power that emerges but does not trigger.

These spearmen are all Sequence 2 stab gun guards, and those crossbowmen are also Sequence 2 black crossbow guards. It seems that the Yagtilin family has a lot of power, and they can summon more than a dozen Sequence 2 guards at once.

Roland Hill did not panic, but raised his head and looked at the titular uncle in front of him, as if asking, why?

"I advise you not to resist, this will save your life, and don't expect the riders outside the courtyard gate to rush in to save you, and there are people over there to deal with it."

Jelink put his hands on the armrests and stared at the girl with blonde hair and blue dress in front of him.

Seeing that Roland Hill was silent, he continued to speak.

"Angus and I have known each other for more than ten years. We went to the South China Sea Islands to take an adventure. We escaped death several times. He saved me many times. We regard each other as brothers."

"I can't stand that someone murdered him and usurped his family property for many years under the name of his daughter," he said word by word.

"Why do you think I'm not his daughter?"

"Indeed, Angus has protected his daughter very well and has been living in the West Wind. No one in Verga has seen her."

"But unfortunately, I am an exception. When I went to Xifeng to do business many years ago, I was fortunate to be invited by him to his home and met her daughter."

"Maybe not as beautiful as yours, but she's also a cute little girl. She doesn't look the same as you."

"And Angus called her, Elaine, not Lacey." There was some indignation in Jelink's voice.

"Mr. Jelink, you and Angus are really good friends."

"You should know very well that many guests have seen me tonight. If I am imprisoned here, it will not take three days for this matter to spread to Verga."

"The Agatilin family betrayed their friends for many years and murdered the orphaned daughter of the Karites family. This matter will soon spread to all the towns, chambers of commerce and people in Verga."

"Yes, so what. I will report this matter to the court of the Verga Union and charge you with the crime."

Roland Hill drank the fruit wine in small sips, his cheeks flushed slightly red, and he was not frightened by Jelink.

"Mr. Jelink is right, I am indeed not Angus' daughter." As the words fell, the surrounding guards began to clench their spears.

The girl sighed in her heart, she really wasn't fit to lie, and it was revealed in just a few days.

"However, Angus' transfer of the Chamber of Commerce to me is not a deception." Roland Hill put the empty wine glass on the table and made a slight noise.

"How is that possible?" Jelink's eyes were full of disbelief.

"Why is it impossible?" the girl asked back.

At this time, there were bursts of fighting outside the door, and the metal trembling of swords clashing sounded from time to time.

"Jelink, you idiot, open the door quickly!" Chelsea shouted eagerly from outside the door.

Jelink stared at the girl, still unmoved.

"Jelink, you slept with Millie and Kerna in the bar back then, and you didn't have a penny on them, so you still borrowed money from me. If you don't open the door, I'll reveal what happened to you and Tess."

The expression of the guards in the room became a little subtle, while Jelink's face turned black. What an old thing, she remembered it so clearly.

A guard next to him asked with a wink. "Sir, why don't we open the door and see what's going on."

Jelink waved his hand and reluctantly signaled to open the door.

The door was opened again, and Chelsea, Ceres, and several riders from the Karites family were fighting fiercely with the guards of the Agatilin family. Fortunately, both sides were restrained and there were no casualties.

"The door is finally open, Jelink, I didn't expect that after so many years, you are still so timid, you have to call so many people to deal with a girl."

Chelsea put away the rapier in his hand, pushed aside the spear beside him, and stood beside Roland Hill.

"Sorry, miss, I'm late."

Chapter 43 The Ship on Ebb Tide

Lorraine Hill previously signaled the two of them, originally just wanting to be on the safe side, but he never thought that Jelink would dare to take the plunge and take action at home that night.

Whether it is in Zephyr or Verga, it is very taboo to invite others to be a killer nowadays. This is extremely shameful. What I did not expect is that the relationship between Jelink and Angus is really extraordinary, even Regardless of his reputation, he has to investigate thoroughly.

"Mr. Jelink, I think there is some misunderstanding between us, can we talk about it individually?" Roland Hill suggested looking at the many guards inside and outside the door.

Jelink remained unmoved, and the scene fell into a stalemate.But Lorraine Hill was not surprised. The homeowner would not make a move because it was so easy to make concessions. She motioned Chelsea to take out a small box that she was carrying, and took out Angus' suicide note from the box.

Then the suicide note was slowly opened, revealing the first two lines and showing it in front of Jelink.

Jelink looked at the familiar handwriting, his pupils narrowed slightly, and then he waved slowly.

"You guys step back first." Jelink motioned for the people next to him to leave first, and then Roland Hill also asked Serres to take the Karites family out of the door. Only the girl, Chelsea and Jay were left in the room. Link's three.

"Chelsea, can you explain first?"

Jelink looked at the head maid behind the girl, it seemed that the two had known each other for a long time.

"Jelink, you are still so impulsive." Chelsea pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

Chelsea is completely true to the identity of the head of the Jalink Yagtilin family. Perhaps in her eyes, the man in front of her is the same as the memory of that year. He is still the young man who fooled around with Angus in the bar when he was young, full of flowers, and showing mercy.

Chelsea then took out a copy of Angus' autographed suicide note and handed it to Jelink.

There are two suicide notes from Angus, one is an open declaration that he will transfer all his property to his daughter, Lacey.The other is to inform his former friends and subordinates that he and Elaine have actually been murdered, and that the Chamber of Commerce is fully managed by another girl.

Jelink picked up the suicide note and read it carefully for a long time before slowly putting it down.

"Is that so..." His face was a little sighed, his former friend passed away like this, and he actually handed over all his property to a stranger.

"It's really Angus' note, but it doesn't fully prove what you said. I know that many extraordinary sequences can be manipulated to confuse others." Jelink still doesn't believe it. After all, this matter is too bizarre for him to accept.
