The Sage of Einar

Eskol, who was at the crime scene, started looking for strange things that could be used to find the killer.

The first thing he noticed in the snow was that there was a piece of linen cloth that was yellowish and looked quite old.

The piece of cloth appeared to belong to a pair of pants that had been caught in a piece of rubble in the alley.

Another thing that he noticed was that in the alley there were two completely abandoned houses because they were planning to demolish them because a street would be built there.

To interconnect the main avenue with the secondary access street, so that the person who did the murder or who left the body in the alley knew that it was a place without people.

Another of the things that are not is that the body was left in the alley at approximately 10 at night because the rounds of warriors that guard the streets have an exact time at which they have to make rounds.

In the case of that area, the patrol took place at 9 o'clock at night and I do not know it would make another one until 11 o'clock, taking into account that the body was found at approximately 10:45.

Well, it took a while for the drunk to arrive at the guard checkpoints; the body was left between 10:30 and 10:40.

Although it could have been more before, however at that time there were still people outside so it would have been impossible not to notice someone who is carrying something strange to them.

The first action Eskol took was to check the two abandoned houses to look for signs of what had taken something macabre in there.

Because there was also the option of which inside the abandoned houses the crime would have been taken.

First start with the house on the left, which was a typical Nordic house built by the first inhabitants of the city of Asgard when they were still a tribe.

Upon entering, they did not find anything strange, only accumulated dust and some snow that had seeped through the roof that was in bad condition.

So they closed the door of that house again and went to the other one, which had been built for some original slaves of the tribe.

So its construction was much simpler, but it could perfectly cover the place from any kind of inclement weather.

When they opened the door, they found a completely ruined place in which there was a horrible stench of blood.

Not only that, but you could also smell the excrement that had already been in that place for days.

Using a whale-oil lamp, they illuminated that building and realized that some people had been living in it.

They found remains of food as well as some completely dirty dishes.

"What kind of place is this? I can't believe we allowed something like this to happen under our noses.

We have to report this incident quickly to Herald Einar; it was if they could be doing actions like it is in an abandoned house.

The rest of the houses are possibly meeting places for criminal groups like the one that murdered Minerva, although it can also be the act of a single person.

Whatever the result, we have to find the guilty or guilty of such a heinous crime.

I want you to ask all the people who live in the vicinity if you have not seen people approach these houses.

Meanwhile, I will go to check the condition of the little girl because I am worried that if they did that to her mother that they will not do to her. "

After those words, Eskol left that place and went to Minerva's house.

To do this, enter the group of houses that had begun to be built a few months ago, the houses differing from the old archaic style.

They were built in an orderly way in which the space will be better used and all the houses have their own heating system as well as a drainage system and a water transport system from the nearby rivers.

After walking through that area of ​​houses for some time, the house with number 623 arrived, which belonged to Minerva.

Since her daughter was a minor, she had received nationality and with it a completely free house, in the case of slaves without children, they received an equal house.

But they would have to pay for it during their working lives, but unlike the traps of the raiders, the Nordic government did not charge interest or increase the debt.

When Eskol knocked on the door, he waited for a few minutes until a girl came out. The little girl was barely six years old, but she looked at Eskol with a smile as she stretched out her little hands.

"Good evening sir, my mom is not at home ..."

The girl yawned and used her little hand to wipe her eyes because they were lazy.

Eskol clenched his fist, as the little girl would be an orphan. "We did not come looking for your mother. We came looking for you. I am Eskol, the leader of the nation's warriors.

We have found your mother, but I think it is better to let Herald Einar tell you about it, because I do not have that capacity. "

The girl opened her small eyes and looked at Eskol in surprise. "I will be able to see Herald Einar."

Eskol, who was an experienced warrior, wanted to shed some tears because the girl was so innocent.

"If you will see the herald Einar, while it seems to you if you tell me more about your mother, while I carry you in my arms.

Snow is very uncomfortable to walk in the early morning. "

Eskol then carried the little girl and placed a blanket over her. The girl snuggled into Eskol's arms and began to speak.

"Mom worked a lot. She said she had found a way to get Nordic citizenship for her.

In the beginning, he worked his normal hours, but later he began to work later and later.

Yesterday, when it was my day off from school, I didn't arrive, but she told me that like a good girl she had to take care of the house.

She also warned me not to open up to anyone ... "

The girl was scared for a moment because she realized that she had opened the door. Eskol just laughed. "Don't worry, little one, I am an authority in this place, no one bad will dare to touch you."

The girl relaxed and smiled, showing her teeth, which were missing some teeth.

"Luckily you are a person who works with the warriors who take care of us. Mom would give me a gift for having left with a stranger."

Eskol could not contain her tears and shed some on the girl's face, who only looked at her with some curiosity.

Because she couldn't understand why the man who seemed to be strong was crying.

Einar, who was in his office in the imperial palace, watched as the door opened and Eskol entered, carrying a girl in his hands.

"This is Minerva's little daughter. I thought about going with Aila first, but I would like you to talk to her.

Me…

I cannot give you her information about her mother, as she is too innocent for me. "

Einar was surprised but understood what Eskol meant. "May her house be taken care of, because when she grows up, she will have the right to regain her home.

But leave her on the couch. When she wakes up, I'll talk to her and Eskol don't worry she'll be fine, I have experience giving bad news. "

Einar sighed as he remembered how he had told his daughter Erika that his mother had died of cancer.

Eskol, seeing Einar's face, knew that the girl was in good hands, so he closed the door and left.

When the little girl opened her eyes, she looked at the person in front of her. At first, she did not recognize him but after a few seconds.

She realized that it was Herald Einar, so she was excited and screamed with joy.

Einar just smiled and handed the girl some warm milk. The little girl accepted the glass of milk and began to drink it with gusto.

"I really like milk, but mom says she can hurt me. Usually I have to give my milk to my classmates because mom says I have something called diabetes."

Einar was surprised and at the same time felt like an idiot because the feeding of the children had been designed for the maximum development of her.

But he never took into account chronic diseases, allergies or children's intolerance to certain substances like gluten or lactose.

"Do not worry little one, I will take care of finding a way to treat your diabetes. It is a somewhat dangerous disease but you can live a long life with it with the appropriate measures that I can promise you"

The little girl smiled as she could feel the security in those words.
