The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

Secondly, if there is no mist that may make the power of the gods invalid, Riber's ability can still play some role.But in the foggy night, he will be completely reduced to an ordinary person with a stronger body.

However, things like fog seem to be regarded as force majeure.After all, Riber is not the only one who becomes an ordinary person in the fog.

So, to sum it up, Riber thinks...

It's your own fault.

It's not the kind of simple and rude system that gives you a god costume when you sign in, or a novice gift package.

Bell's own combat power can't be counted on there, so what can he count on?

Because he is not only being examined by the Church of Scourge, but also being watched by his aunt.Therefore, he could neither raise [-] dead soldiers, nor use the financial resources of the Campret family to purchase some powerful magic tools and other equipment.

In addition, if it is simply to provide wisdom, Chris is actually enough.

Therefore, in the final analysis, Riber's advantage is only his status as an earl.

He speculated about the development model of the original plot.

It's nothing more than Chris and Evanna, or plus the phantom thief Lysa, these three lonely heroes investigate and destroy the mysterious organization alone.

The Knights may play a role in it, but overall it won't play much.

It is not the incompetence of the Knights of Greenwater, but the common fault of "detective" stories.

No one wants to see detectives hiding behind the police all the time and forming a formation, and finally watching a bunch of policemen swarm up and surround the criminals.

Everyone wants to see the direct confrontation between the detective and the villain.

But for Riber, he doesn't worry about storytelling or not.In reality, he just wanted to solve the problem in the safest way.

That's why he wanted to use his noble status as earl to cooperate with the Knights in the closest possible way.

Compared with that golden finger who can only play guessing games, his identity is actually his biggest reliance.

Shake people.

Not ashamed.

Wouldn't it be better to have a one-on-one fight between Chris and the "Dismemberer", drinking tea leisurely in the mansion, while a hundred members of the Knights at the other end set up a net to make the criminals have nowhere to hide?

...

...

Not long after, under the guidance of Sebastian, the head of the Knights, Erhard Green, walked into the restaurant.

Erhard is a very tall woman who was wearing what looked like a military uniform on this day.Of course, these military uniforms are not modern military uniforms, but a type similar to the jazz uniforms of nobles after several centuries.

A tight blue top and crisp white trousers.Most of the clothes are men's military uniforms, which are worn on Erhard's body, which perfectly sets off her graceful figure.

And the shocking scars on Erhard's face somewhat frightened Riber a bit.But it's only a little bit, and it won't change his expression.

Following Erhard was the secretary who called herself "Silver Wing Mask" and had a somewhat weird personality.

On this day, the purple-haired secretary was also wearing a black suit.

It wasn't until he observed Erhard, the leader of the Knights at close range, that Riber realized that she was actually shining.

However, this light is very faint, it is the kind of light that is dispensable.

This is the second time Riber sees such an indifferent light...

Huh?Who came first?

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

As for why the light of Erhard, the head of the group, is weaker than that of the secretary behind her, it is actually not difficult to guess.

After all, they are from the same camp, so Chris must have received help from the Knights during his investigation in the original plot.However, due to reasons such as identity and status, compared to Erhard, who is the leader, it is the secretary who actually participated in the original plot more.

Riber didn't stare impolitely at the two women who were full of capable atmosphere for too long.

After a simple nod, he stretched out his hand to signal the two "please sit down".

Erhard graciously sat on the opposite side of Riber.As for the secretary, she just stood behind Erhard's seat as a matter of course.

After the polite words of "meeting for the first time" and "admiring your name for a long time", Erhard and Riber reported their names to each other.

Erhard's full name is very long, about ten characters long.But obviously, it can't compare to Riber's full name.

Ever since, Riber felt for the first time that his long full name also had some uses.

It is really just a simple report of the name, you can have a feeling as if you are crushing the opposite side.

After another brief exchange of pleasantries, Erhard quickly brought the topic back to the main topic.

"Your Excellency Camprete, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to accept the visit from the Knights. This time, I am here on behalf of the Knights. In addition to expressing respect and gratitude for your past contributions to the Knights, to In addition to expressing apologies for the repeated gaffes, I also hope to get advice from you, the honorary advisor of the Knight Order."

Listening to Erhard's words, Riber remembered that he still has such an honorary consultant status.

"Perhaps, my next words will lower your evaluation of the Knights and me as the leader. But to be honest, I am really in a state of confusion now. I don't know, is it me? It was because I had been stationed around the maze outside the city for a while. When I returned to the city, I always felt that the city had become strange. If we say that Greenwater City and the Knights in the past were a crumbling high school The tower. The current situation is that the tower suddenly began to collapse in an all-round way, and I don't know the reason why the tower collapsed."

Erhard sighed lightly and said so.

Seriously, Riber can understand Erhard's mood.

All of these things really happened all of a sudden.

The Knights were attacked, a large number of criminals escaped from prison, the residents of Nancheng District fell asleep collectively, the underground waterway collapsed, and yesterday's big clock tower collapsed and the fire rain...

As just an ordinary resident who was deeply involved, Riber could feel that there was something dark and oppressive, which suddenly enveloped the city of Greenwater.

As the guardian of Greenwater City, Erhard, who needs to deal with a large number of things at the same time, is probably completely devastated.

It can only be said that thanks to Erhard, he can still sit opposite Riber with great energy.

Riber felt that if the two of them were swapped, he might have found a place to lie down and be ruined by now.

"In other words, Captain Green is asking me for advice on behalf of the Knights?"

"Yes."

Hearing Erhard's affirmative answer, Riber said "Oh?" in his heart.

This feeling is good, and it completely matches his purpose.

It's just that he couldn't be sure how sincere Erhard's so-called advice was.He really came up with a suggestion, and Erhard would take a few more points.

Rather, after just exchanging a few words, Riber felt that he didn't seem to be very good at dealing with this leader.

Because Erhard was completely different from the people he had seen before.

Sitting in front of him, a great nobleman, Erhard didn't flinch at all.Moreover, unlike the content of the words that have always been full of gentleness, Erhard has been staring at him closely with extremely fiery eyes.

Staring at him, I feel a little embarrassed.

"On my side, I actually want to start a comprehensive cooperation with the Knights. And, I am also confident that I can provide some information that the Knights have not yet obtained. However, instead of using this information as a bargaining chip, I think it should be more important. The sincerity I can show. Because, since our purpose is the same, the most important thing in our cooperation is honesty."

Listening to Riber's words, Erhard nodded slightly, then reached out to take the teacup and took a sip of tea gracefully.

However, when doing these actions, she didn't look at the tea set, she was still staring at Riber the whole time.

"Sebas, go and call Ewenna here."

Turning his head a little stiffly, Riber ordered.

But Sebastian took the order to leave, but unexpectedly took a long time.It was so long that Riber's teacup was refilled and then emptied again.

It's just to call someone, will it take so long?

You know, during the period when Ewenna was not here, he and Erhard had no conversation.

So this period of time is really difficult!

When the footsteps of Sebastian and Ivana's return sounded, Riber quickly turned his head to look, and then he was at a loss.

Evanna and Chris came out with Sebastian.

Of course, there is no problem with the personnel, the problem is that these two people wear almost the same style of clothing.

It is known that Chris is wearing a maid outfit.So... Ewenna is wearing a black and white maid outfit at this time.

Ewenna, who has white hair herself, is very suitable for solemn colors such as "black" and "white".Therefore, these two colors are embellished in various parts of her dress.

The maid's headband is black, the stockings are white, and the ball shoes are black again.

What's more, Yi Wenna's face is basically dark now, and her face is even more fierce than before.

If you don't want to, why would you wear it?

Riber had a headache.

Although, the maid outfit specially made by the Campret family is really good-looking, and the person wearing the maid outfit is also very nice.Moreover, the two people who were also emitting strong light, and even the same height, stood side by side very harmoniously, and even seemed to have an inexplicable bond.

but...

Sure enough, Riber still had a headache.

who did it!

As soon as this idea came up, Riber saw his butler Sebastian wink his right eye "playfully".

...

Sure enough, this guy.

Raising his hand and rubbing his temples, Riber calmed down.

Gee.

It's not a big deal when you think about it carefully, it's just that the heroine, who has a bad temper, is good at cutting people into pieces, and may become a witch in the future, just changed her clothes.

Compared to Sebas' previous backstabs, this time it was relatively light.

With a calm face, when Evanna and Chris came over, Riber introduced Erhard.

"The next words I say, I hope that Captain Green can listen to me with a calm mood first."

Riber let out a sigh of relief.

"This is the maid I hired recently, Ewenna. In addition to this layer of identity, she also has another identity, that is, the imitation of the 'Dismemberer' who has carried out two cases of dismembering and throwing corpses guilty."

After Riber's words fell, Erhard's expression did not change at all.It's just that the hotness in her eyes turned into coldness, which made the atmosphere in the venue seem to drop a lot.

...

...

Among the unnamed restaurants.

Erhard's gaze finally moved away from Riber's body, and looked at Ewenna.And Ewenna, who had always been dark-faced, frowned as always, and looked at Erhard not to be outdone.

The atmosphere is unavoidable and tense.

But in such an atmosphere, Chris pulled a chair and sat down at the table as if nothing had happened.

Seeing Chris leaning his arm on the table, resting his chin and looking at the crowd with interest, Riber admired him a little.

Chris, he's actually quite a gutsy guy, isn't he?

"So that's the case. Since this Miss Ivana has become the maidservant of the Earl of Campret, our Knights can't easily 'please leave' her. However, Your Excellency Campret, are you sure?" Do you want to do this? Even though the corpse used by this 'imitator' lady is basically confirmed to have died of illness, but the dismemberment and throwing of the corpse made her a real criminal. Why, Camprete Your Excellency wants to protect this criminal? Leaving aside the Knights, as an individual, I really respect you, Greenwater's 'hero'."

Erhard's words sounded sensible enough, and the accusations and disappointment expressed in the words were also very limited.

However, Riber still felt that the lady opposite her was a little scary.

Because, on the face that originally had a terrible scar, now there is still a bruised vein...

"It may not be an explanation, but I hope Captain Green can also listen to what happened to Ewenna."

Naturally, Riber, who would not shrink back because of this level of "intimidation", said so, and gestured to Chris with his eyes.

Now that Chris is here, let him show off his desire to show off.

...

In the following time, the snacks on the table and the tea in the teapot decreased rapidly.

Because, even though Chris tried to be as brief as possible, what happened to Evanna was too tortuous.The grievances between her and her two fathers and the "dismemberers" are also really complicated.

Starting from the small town of Aurette 15 years ago, Jack hanged himself a year and a half ago, and all the events after Ywenna sought help from the Knights to no avail.By the time Chris finished speaking, the sky was already approaching dusk.

With Chris's words, Erhard's coldness gradually faded, especially when Ewenna went to the Knights with the information she had collected so hard, but was rejected again and again. Erhard did not hide her annoyance towards the Knights at all.

Fifteen years ago, Erhard could ignore the incompetence of the Knights because she did not take office, but a year and a half ago, she could not find any reason.

Holding Evanna's two notebooks in his hand, looking at the words left by Jack, full of pain, despair and repeated words, Erhard even forgot to maintain his ladylike image, and roughly grabbed his head with his hands .
