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

In the backyard of the mansion, when she saw Riber appeared, Ewenna thought she had come from one hell to another.

But after actually staying in the mansion for a few days, although she was not very sure, she could feel that the actual situation was completely different from what she had imagined.

The earl actually lives in a mansion with a seemingly commoner family.

And in the mansion, except for the earl who didn't know what he was thinking, everyone else was a good person who could clearly feel his enthusiasm and sincerity.Without these people, Lysa might not have been rescued.

Reality is somewhat different from your own ideas, and there is no way to do it.

But the discrepancy was so large that it reached two extremes, which really made Ewenna very at a loss now.

Facing Ewenna's question, Riber didn't know how to answer it for a while.

Been chasing down Evanna...has he ever done something like this?

How did this misunderstanding and rumor come about?

Is it the exaggeration of the news media?Is it Chris with this big mouth?Or, even if he was hijacked for a while, even if he didn't do anything, people would think based on common sense that he would be attached to Iwenna who hijacked him.

At the beginning, it can be said that he was paddling until he almost forgot the existence of Ewenna.It wasn't until the appearance of the strange thief Lysa, and the subsequent cooperation that took advantage of the situation, that it seemed that he had made a lot of efforts to find Ewenna...

Also, how should he answer his purpose.

In terms of his original intention, he just wanted to stay far away from the plots of the original works that seemed troublesome and even dangerous.

It's not that he has made up his mind, he wants to live a so-called stable, peaceful and peaceful life like a salted fish or a hermit.

It's that he has only been in this world for more than a month, and he is still under surveillance.Therefore, he has not yet established his footing, and he still does not know what kind of life he wants to pursue in this strange world.There is no leisure to meddle in other things.

It's a pity that he tried to avoid the original plot, but the original plot and the main characters in the plot, as if they had grown legs, ran over to pester him one after another.

Therefore, in order to get rid of these, he took a slightly cooperative attitude and tried to end this plot as soon as possible.

However, his thoughts were not strong or urgent from beginning to end.

So, can these really be counted as his purpose?And if it really counted, how would he explain it to Ewenna?

After thinking for a long time, Riber didn't come up with a reason.So, he had no choice but to show his famous stunt, which is...

"if not?"

That is, let the heroine think for herself!

After hearing Riber's words, Ewenna pursed her lips, and then cast her gaze to the corner of the room,

"In the future, do I need to wear that dress and become your servant, or, 'collection'?"

Rebel, who felt that Ewenna's tone was a bit weird, followed her gaze.Then, in the next moment, even his expression hardly tensed up.

Because, on the wall in the corner of his room, there was a set of maid outfits.

...

(swearing), who did it!Who on earth hung that thing in his room!

Turning his gaze, he saw Yi Wenna, who had always had such a fierce expression, with a shaken look on her face, Riber knew that the other party must be thinking wrong.

Probably, in Ewenna's eyes, he has become the kind of old man with a bad personality who likes to hunt novelties because his daily life is too boring, so he broke away from low-level interests and specially collects famous criminals to serve as his maids. aristocratic...

In short, it is necessary to quickly change the subject.

"Hey, now, can you say that you imitated the 'dismemberer', the reason for dismembering the corpse?"

Facing Riber's question, Ewenna lowered her head and was silent for a moment.

During the period, I looked at Ewenna whose shoulders trembled occasionally.Suddenly, Ribel seemed to see the white-haired girl who appeared in the backyard of the mansion with Lysa in her arms, and brought him the inexplicable feeling that the person in front of him was actually a fragile item.

"actually..."

Evanna's voice was very soft,

"It's just a very simple reason. All my relatives died because of the 'dismemberer'. Therefore, I want to seek revenge from him. And the biggest premise of revenge..."

"To find him."

"right..."

Ewenna still nodded slightly with her head down.

At this time, Riber keenly discovered the abnormality,

"Didn't the 'Dismemberer' be active about 15 years ago? Why, you didn't take revenge until now? Rather, how old were you 15 years ago?"

Although Riber knows that he is now in the story line of "Sad Witch".But just like Melueita did not become a "Witch of Calamity", Ewenna is obviously not a witch yet, so there shouldn't be much difference in appearance and age.

Therefore, Ewenna, whose face still looks a little immature, probably won't be more than 20 years old.

"There are complex reasons for this, and it will take time for me to explain."

Ewenna said, seeming to hesitate for a while before continuing to speak,

"Can I go home and get some notebooks? Those notebooks are very important to me. And... to illustrate the entanglement between me and the 'Dismemberer', there are a few The content of the notebook is also easier to explain."

Evanna paused, then added,

"This time, I won't run away... Lysa stays here too..."

And Yiwenna herself may not have realized that when she uttered these begging words, the "confrontation" she had established with Riber by putting on a fierce face and attitude before was completely shattered .

At least, Riber had a sense of déjà vu at this time.

That's the kind, he imprisoned others, and the girl who fell into his hands, the life and death of the girl was controlled by him... or something.

What a strange thing, he never restricted Ewenna's freedom, nor asked her for a reward, or asked her to pay a price or something.

How did it turn into a situation where it seemed like he was the bad guy again?

"Okay. Just right, I think Chris must be there besides me when you tell all the facts. And, if Lysa wakes up anytime soon, I hope she also understands that you've suddenly come from 'Phantom Thieves' ' The reason for disappearing."

Listening to Riber's words, Ewenna raised her head, looked at him for a moment as if surprised, and then looked away again.

"thank you very much."

Finally, with Ewenna's light to almost inaudible voice of thanks, she left Riber's room.

...

...

the next day.

In the mansion, in Chris's room, Riber met the detective who fell ill at the same time as him.

At this time, Chris was wearing pajamas, with a thick coat over his shoulders, half of his body was buried in the quilt, and he was sitting on the bed leaning and flipping through the case files in his hand.

The symptoms of a bad cold are worse than Riber, and Chris, who has not recovered yet, wears a mask in order to prevent infecting other people.

If we say that the original Chris's appearance still has some masculine features.That is, his mouth is a relatively normal size, not the small cherry mouth that many beautiful girls have.

And now...

"Ah, Monsieur Riber. Good morning."

Chris, whose entire face looked red because he was still running a fever, greeted Riber with a smile between his brows when he saw Riber walking into the next room.

"Good morning."

"Speaking of it, it's really ironic. At that time, when I saw Mr. Riber, who had just told me not to catch a cold and get sick, and added patients to the mansion, and then fell ill, I wanted to say something complaining. Unexpectedly , and soon afterwards, I fell ill myself."

"That's no laughing matter."

Riber shook his head and said.

Now, his mansion is really full of patients.On an average day, one lucky patient falls to the ground.

It's also fortunate that there are no customers in the nameless restaurant, otherwise no one would be able to spare their hands to entertain.

However, until now, no one probably remembers that the nameless restaurant is still open...

"Since you're sick, it's better to take a good rest."

Riber gently took the document in Chris's hand, and then said.

Now Chris is not only sick, but also has an arm hanging, and he really can't handle the case.

"No way, even if I told the Knights that I'm going to take a vacation for a while, the detective agency will be closed for a while, and these documents will still be sent. The Knights... should be in a situation where there is really no way out. Let's go."

Riber roughly scanned the contents of the document, and the things written on it can only be described as shocking.

The knights' prison for felons was attacked, causing heavy casualties.At present, there are still ten fugitives, and only three of them have information such as eyewitness intelligence.

The special team of the Knights was almost wiped out when they captured the "Crimson Hunter". The "Crimson Hunter" disappeared without a trace.

In Nancheng District, a range of comatose events with unknown reasons occurred.The victims numbered in the hundreds.

The underground waterway around the Nancheng District collapsed and must be repaired urgently, otherwise the entire underground waterway will be paralyzed and the consequences will be disastrous...

All these things happened on the same night.

Just looking at the contents of the document, Riber doesn't even think that Greenwater City is a place where people can live.

While flipping through the documents, Riber said, seemingly casually but with firmness,

"That day, your question, now I have the answer."

"For me, Dirk is really just an unfamiliar knight. Therefore, my sadness may not be as deep-rooted and intense as yours."

"However, because I'm now in the second stage of grief, 'anger,' proving that I should feel the grief itself."

"So, I'm going to try to grab the murderer with all my might, catch the 'dismemberer'."

Whether it was caused by his personality in his previous life or his physical condition in this life, Riber could not say any impassioned words.

But even if the tone is a little flat, the determination in it cannot be faked.

Different from muddling along in this city before, he now has a clear goal.And, I have made up my mind to take active actions to achieve this goal, instead of passively waiting for the event to come and then resolve it.

However, Riber, who is well aware of his lack of ability, does not know whether he will help the case itself after he becomes "serious".

Perhaps, this is the reason why he said the words like a vow in front of Chris alone.

It is not only because Chris is the leading actor, but also because Chris probably solved the case in the original plot, and it is also because during the month of coming to Greenwater City, the relationship with Chris made Ribel Trust the other party's ability as a detective.

"If it is said that the 'Dismemberer' and the organization he belongs to made only one fatal mistake. That mistake definitely angered Mr. Riber."

Chris said with a smile.

And listening to the familiar fancy flattery from Chris, Riber shook his head with a wry smile.

After shaking it twice, he realized something was wrong.

What did Chris just say?

The Dismemberer, and the...organization he belongs to.

organize...

organize? !

Volume 98: Chapter [-], The City Shrouded in Witches (Daily Chapter)

The second week of September, the fourth day after the foggy night.

As the sky in Greenwater City finally cleared, Riber walked out of the mansion that day.

He said he was going, but in fact he rode in a carriage most of the time, and Riber was not the only one in the carriage.

By the way, since the carriage of the Campret family and the pegasus pulling the cart are too flamboyant, it is fine in normal times, but in the current special period of martial law in Greenwater City, it is somewhat uncomfortable. suitable.

Therefore, the almighty butler Sebastian got a brand new carriage and a few ordinary horses in time.

Speaking of the spacious carriage, Chris and Evanna were sitting on the opposite side of Riber, and Alice was sitting next to Riber.

To put it simply, the three most luminous people in the entire Greenwater City are in the same compartment as Riber at this time.

At a glance, Liber saw bright lights everywhere.His eyes were undoubtedly suffering from unbearable pain.

He tried his best to avoid these protagonists, but in the end he was surrounded by these protagonists and became the only one who didn't fit in.

This is probably the so-called talent...

Riber sighed inwardly.

The reason why the other three will travel together is because although they each have different purposes, they happen to be on the way.

Chris intends to go to the headquarters of the Knights Order to obtain the latest information about the case, and then move some of the materials collected in his detective agency to Riber's mansion.
