Indescribable tarot cards

Aaron saw several flashes of fire not far away, and then several figures ran towards him quickly. The leader was wearing a silver-white half-armor and holding a one-handed shield half a man's height.

However, to Aaron's surprise, this group of reinforcements immediately surrounded him after they arrived, and one or two of them with evil looks had even drawn out their bright weapons.

What's going on?

The look in these guys' eyes doesn't seem like they're looking at hostages...

Brother, believe me, I am a very good citizen!

Aaron looked around, scanning everyone's expressions one by one, looking at the murderous looks on their faces, and finally realized something was wrong.

The shield-wielding warrior wearing silver-white half-armor slowly took off her helmet, revealing an alluring face, with a high nose and slightly pursed pale red lips.

Her fair skin seemed to glow against the firelight and silver armor.

At this time, Aaron saw her slightly narrow eyes looking up and down at him.

Aaron seemed to have never seen this female warrior in his memory, but the female warrior actually asked in a strange tone: "...is it you?"

Female warrior?

Wait, she knows me?

Aaron's somewhat flustered heart suddenly calmed down a bit.

It's easier if you have acquaintances.

"Yes, yes, it's me, it's me." He nodded hastily.

Although I only know that I am a down-and-out noble, and I don’t know who you are, but now that you know me, wouldn’t it be easier~

However, upon hearing Aaron's response, the female warrior's expression became even more disgusting.

"Little...Miss Alice, the investigation has been completed." A middle-aged man came forward and said. He did not lower his voice deliberately, and Aaron heard it clearly.

"What did you find?"

"A heretical ceremony has just been held here, and the remaining aura is very strong. Judging from the traces of ashes, it should be an advent ceremony..."

Aaron clearly felt that when he heard the word "Advent Ceremony", the atmosphere suddenly became much more tense, and several people couldn't help but take a few steps closer.

"However, it seems that the materials prepared for the ceremony are not complete." The middle-aged man said again at this time,

Bastard, don't breathe loudly when you talk!

He pointed at the soulless grass lying quietly on the ground not far away, "The soulless grass should be the main material that must be prepared for all advent rituals, but this one does not seem to be the soulless grass, but rather it seems to have been dyed by someone. Sleepless grass.”

"so?"

The female warrior Alice glanced at Aaron coldly and looked at the intact blade of grass.

Hearing this, Aaron didn't know whether to be speechless or grateful. Who would have thought that there are people selling fake and shoddy products in other worlds?

"So, we can't be sure whether this ritual has been completed." The middle-aged man continued, "But what can be confirmed is that the deceased old man should be a cultist and had a very strong aura on his body."

"In other words, he is the sacrifice of this ritual?" Alice looked at Aaron thoughtfully, "Can you know the person you believe in?"

"Judging from the traces at the scene, it should be a human-faced rat."

"Are those damn underground rats?" After hearing this, Alice's eyes towards Aaron did not soften in any way, but became a little sharper, and the hostility in her eyes was even more obvious.

I didn't say anything. Why are you looking at me like that?

He tried hard to search for information about the "Human-Faced Rat" in his mind, but found nothing.

The original owner was a idiot who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and knew nothing about this knowledge that was obviously divorced from daily life.

"Ed, is there any other information?"

"If judged from this aspect alone, the advent ceremony failed because the main materials did not match, and this gentleman should be innocent."

As soon as he heard the word "if", Aaron's heart sank.

"However, there is something wrong with the old man's cause of death." The middle-aged man Ed took a deep look at Aaron and added: "The old man was scared to death, or in other words, he saw something... beyond his knowledge. external things.”

"I think it would be more appropriate to ask those who witnessed it." Alice turned to look at Aaron and said coldly: "Tell me, how did he die?"

Aaron was startled and subconsciously looked at the old man's body lying not far away.

How do I know!

All I know is that he wanted to hit me to death with a stick, but it somehow got sideways, and then... he died?

I said this may have been done by my system, do you believe it?

Aaron didn't know what reason to find to excuse him, and he hesitated for a long time, unable to come up with a reason.

Ed glanced at Aaron and said with some hesitation: "Judging from the information currently available, the advent ceremony is likely to cause the sacrifice itself to become confused. I think he may have temporarily lost his memory..."

Aaron interrupted Ed unceremoniously, "Sir, I am sure that I have not lost my memory."

"Then sir, tell me, what is your name?" Alice said.

"Aaron...ah..."

Aaron was about to say his last name, but was interrupted by Alice, "I just need to know your first name."

"Shouldn't we know each other?" Aaron said tentatively.

Judging from the performance of the female warrior just now, they should know each other.

Since we know each other, how come we don't know his name?

Vaguely, Aaron had an ominous premonition.

"Yes, of course I know him. A few days ago, a certain gentleman drank several bottles of 'Flaming Red Lips' in the Rose Tavern. Can you guess what he did?"

Aaron was speechless. In fact, he really didn't know what he did after he was drunk that day.

Alice looked at Aaron's appearance and said with a smile: "That bold man tried to tease me, the kite of the Kingdom of Algrant..." She realized something and stopped talking.

Although she was smiling, the killing intent in her eyes was extremely clear.

At this time, there were a few light coughs coming from the side.

A middle-aged man about forty or fifty years old walked out of the crowd with a bulging belly. He glanced at Alice and Aaron and said, "Miss Alice, since we can confirm that he is not a cultist, shall we?"

"Don't worry, Captain Colin. A real noble will not be carried away by anger, but he is a sacrifice for the advent ceremony. We need to ask an astrologer to divine it."

"Of course it's no problem." Captain Colin said with a smile while touching his round belly.

Alice glanced at Aaron again, "Also, Master Colin, although I only came to Layden City temporarily, monsters like the Earth Demon Spider actually appeared in the sewers of Layden City. I will inform the Lord of the City truthfully. of."

Colin wiped away the non-existent sweat and said with a sneer: "That was indeed my mistake. I should report it truthfully. I will also explain the situation to the Lord of the City."

Alice snorted coldly, turned around and left with Ed.

Aaron also wisely allowed the guards to tie him with a rope.

"Where are we going?"

Colin looked at Aaron with a smile and said, "Of course I'm going to prison, my lord."

Well, sir...?
