A strange world

Chapter 1006 Chapter 237. Promotion, wealth and beauty

Inner city, Ebbett estate.

The housekeeper walked back and forth, waiting for good news from the person who took action.

It turned out that it was not the assassin who came back, but the person who stayed outside to tell the news.

"Caught on the spot, the assassination failed!?"

The butler screamed, as if the sky was falling, and knocked on the baron's study door in despair.

"What are you afraid of?" Baron Ebert noticed the butler's uneasiness.

"Master, they discovered us and the assassination failed..."

"Idiots, how could you do this?!" Baron Ebert sat up in shock.

The housekeeper said in astonishment: "Master, didn't you ask someone to assassinate you...?"

Baron Ebbett yelled: "I mean how could anyone find out!"

I thought it would be easy to teach a young guard captain a lesson, but I didn’t expect that a bunch of losers couldn’t even do this!

"Are they dead?"

"I'm afraid that guy is still alive..."

"I mean our people!"

The housekeeper's heart skipped a beat: "I don't know..."

Baron Ebbett walked around a few times, sat back at the desk and wrote a letter to the butler: "Send it to Sheriff Millburn and tell him it was a misunderstanding. Don't screw it up again!"

"Okay sir."

The housekeeper took the letter and hurriedly left the study.

Baron Ebbett felt tired. His noble Baron actually had to wipe the butt of his subordinates...

At this time, the butler who had just gone out came back again, and Baron Ebbett said impatiently: "What are you doing here again?"

"Because this road is blocked."

Annan followed the housekeeper into the study and said with a chuckle.

"Who are you?"

Baron Ebert looked at Annan and confirmed that he did not recognize him.

And because Annan had already changed into the uniform of a city guard, he failed to connect this young talent with the despicable captain who sabotaged and made money.

"Master Olme." Annan noticed that Baron Ebert was even unfamiliar with this name, and added: "This is the person you want to assassinate."

"So it's you...but your clothes..." Baron Ebbett was uncertain.

"I'm sorry, just before the assassination, I was promoted to city guard officer." Annan's men rushed into the study from behind, "So according to the laws of the kingdom, Baron Ebbett assassinated the kingdom officials and was suspected of having an affair with the Blade of Freedom. Please Follow us back to the city guard station to investigate."

The man who was promoted to captain grabbed Baron Ebert, but he broke away: "Let me go!"

"Master Olmei!" He glared at Annan, but when he saw Annan with a gentle smile and the city guards gathering in the corridor behind him, his tone softened slightly: "This is just a misunderstanding. I and your Milburn police The official relationship is good..."

Annan tilted his head: "Write down what he said, I suspect Sheriff Milburn is involved."

Baron Ebbett was surprised and the clerk hesitated: "Is this..."

"Sooner or later I will be promoted to Sheriff. How can they make room for me if they don't step down?"

Moreover, this guy is not on Renaldo's Free Blade list, so there is no need to be polite to him.

"Who are you!" Baron Ebbett had already regarded Annan as a certain Gray Glove.

"I told you, Master Olmei."

Annan waved his hand and signaled his men to take the people out, and he was going to start searching.

Baron Ebert's lips trembled slightly. Only then did he realize that he might be in trouble...

The baron, butler and servant guards of the manor were all taken to the city guard, and what followed was an exciting part of the search.

Annan first asked Maria to find the property hidden in the manor, and then summoned Ilimoyas after she couldn't find it at all.

"If we find the property in the manor, we'll give it a 30-70 score."

"Only seven copies?" Ilimoyas said.

"Seven shares are mine, and three shares are yours."

Relying on the dragon's talent for sensing treasures, Ilimoyas seemed to know it in advance and found belongings from everywhere: frescoes that looked worthless but were actually historic, silver coins hidden in armor sculptures, and even coins lost under the carpet. No exception.

Ilimoyas finally found property worth about 300 gold coins. After receiving her share of 100 gold coins, Ilimoyas said, "I won't leave."

"No, you're too obvious."

As soon as Ilimoyas makes a move, everyone will guess her identity - after all, Annan has a "Blue Dragon Knight" among his sadistic titles outside.

After sending away Ilimayas, Annan dared to dig out the spoils: Unexpectedly, a small baron actually had 400 kinnars, and the remaining property, land deeds, and artworks were worth 1,300 jinnars in total...

Annan pocketed the money, and when he needed to cash it in, he planned to hand it over to Sheafield.

Walking out of the Ebbett Manor... no, it was already the Olmey Manor. Annan led the city guards back to the station in a mighty manner.

Compared with the guard captain, the city guard officer can command from ten to a hundred soldiers, and also has a specific jurisdiction area. The most important thing is that the city guard has a certain degree of autonomy and no longer needs to be ordered by his superiors - although Annan does not need to obey in the first place.

Bureaucrats, or bureaucrats from the Ruikaner Kingdom, were destined not to allocate areas of jurisdiction to Annan so quickly, but also to grab the fat from other city guards. Annan was not in a hurry and interrogated Baron Ebert first.

It is irrefutable evidence that he colluded with the Freedom Blade, even if he said it was a lie...who would believe it? Who can believe it?

Everyone wants to get a share of the success of seizing the "Freedom Blade", even Renaldo doesn't mind.

In order to protect himself, Baron Ebert mentioned many names, but was warned by Annan: "Don't mention other people. Whoever you mention now is harming them."

Annan needed Baron Ebert to reveal more evidence of crimes, but he didn't need to bite more people - just confessions couldn't bring down a bunch of nobles. And Annan's move was regarded as a gesture of goodwill by Sheriff Milburn. At the meeting that afternoon, he took the initiative to give Annan three streets with good opportunities.

However, Annan declined the gesture and volunteered to change to the three most chaotic and crime-ridden streets.

Without crime, where would the merits come from?

Baron Ebert's matter was settled, and he was destined not to see the sun tomorrow. Colluding with the Free Blade, let alone the baron, even the earl would have to be skinned.

Annan, who personally participated in the capture of the Free Blade and the disposal of Baron Ebert, was immediately known to everyone in the city guards and was in the limelight.

In the evening, when Annan was about to go to Sheafield to deal with the property and then patrol the area, a fellow city guard officer came over.

"What's the matter?"

"Sheriff Milburn is going to hold a celebration banquet for you."

"No time."

Annan continued to walk forward. He didn't plan to get too close to Sheriff Milburn... He wouldn't have the heart to kill him after getting to know him.

"But many unmarried ladies have heard about your heroic deeds, and they know that you are young and handsome, so they will come to participate..."

Annan stopped.

"When?"
