Mage Joan

The dead or the murderer, who is more morally tenable?

Qiao An currently doesn't understand the inside story and dare not make a promise lightly.

Hailar saw that Qiao An was in an awkward situation, so he pulled his sleeve and motioned to find a quiet place to speak.

Qiao An finally got rid of Mrs. Anderson, and followed Hailar out of the house.

"Joan, I just asked my friends in the'Son of Freedom' association. The Asa horse bandits in the Vimur Valley are actually a militia armed under the orders of the Walsung family. The leader of this force is Your old acquaintances, Harkon Wallsunger and Thrud Wallsunger, can you take advantage of this relationship to ask their brothers and sisters about Captain Anderson's death, or give Mrs. Anderson an explanation. "

Qiao An thought that this was a good idea, and immediately took out the "communication stone" and sent a letter to Slude.

After waiting for two minutes, magical power waved in front of Qiao An, and a ball of red light emerged.

This made him deeply surprised.

The "Communication Stone" can establish a "higher mind connection" between himself and Slude. As long as Slude is willing, he can be telepathic with him. Isn't it more convenient to communicate with him by using "SMS"?

However, for some reason, Slude refused his request to initiate a telepathy, which made him faintly disturbed...

Putting aside the complicated thoughts in his mind for the time being, Qiao An raised his hand to hold the communication ball and read the information.

"What does the letter say?" Hailar couldn't wait to inquire.

"Slud said she regrets the death of Captain Anderson, but does not intend to apologize for it."

Joan looked weird, paused for a moment, and continued to relay Slude's letter.

"She also said that the internal details of this matter are more complicated. She can't explain it clearly in a few words. She also doesn't want to defend herself and her people. She invited me to take a look at the Asa settlement in the Vimur Valley. With my own eyes... ...To discover the truth."

...

On the first day of April 1624, an open carriage driven by three phantom colts was speeding west on the Wiglyd Plain in the splendid spring.

Qiao An, Hailar, Audrey and Holden sat on the carriage, looking far away, enjoying the scenery of the wilderness, and sometimes talking in a low voice.

They embarked on this trip to the west at the invitation of Sluder, to see this land where colonists competed with the aborigines. The main purpose was to investigate the truth about the death of Captain Bob Anderson and give them unbearable mourning. Mrs. Anderson of the pain of the son confessed.

Slud and Joan agreed to meet in "Grizzly Town", but Joan searched through the administrative map of Midgard's colony and couldn't find where "Grizzly Town" was located. Later, I checked on the "cloud network" and learned that this so-called Grizzly Town is located in the eastern part of the Vimur River Valley. It has been less than two years since the establishment of the town. It is the bridgehead of the "Westward Movement" nowadays.

Most of these land development hotspot towns in the west will not make a mark on the map. First, the update and printing of the map always lags behind the actual expansion of the territory, and the second is because of this newly built small The town has not really established itself in the Wild West. It seems to be quite prosperous today, but I can't guarantee that it will be destroyed by hordes of beasts or aborigines next week and turned into rubble.

Similar situations occur from time to time. For the sake of safety, these colonial settlements with uncertain futures are usually not marked on the officially published maps.

Qiao An couldn't find the specific location of "Grizzly Town", so he sent the spell directly to the eastern part of the Vimur Valley, and took three friends to settle in a pasture with cattle, horses and sheep.

The shepherd sniffed the smell of strangers and barked alertly. The local rancher, an old man with a red neck, came with two young cowboy flying horses, both carrying shotguns slanting behind him.

Seeing the family's intentions, Holden hurriedly waved his hand to greet him, explaining that he and his companions were not malicious, but just lost their way into the ranch, hoping that the host would help them to point out the direction to Grizzly Town.

The rancher saw that the four young men were very handsome and dressed like bull thief. He waved his two sons to put down their guns, rolled over and dismounted, and came to question the stranger.

Knowing that Qiao An and the others are college students in the city, the old man immediately put on an expression of awe, carefully observed Qiao An's robe, bowed and saluted, and asked his two sons to "please greet the Master Master." .

Holden smiled bitterly when he saw it, and laughed at himself and said: "We are all college students. Because of our different majors and different uniforms, our status in the eyes of the villagers is also different. No stranger has ever respected me so much... …"

"Brother, what major did you study in university?" The old man asked embarrassedly.

"Academy of Arts."

"Oh, your house must be rich!"

"I understand, what you mean is that our literary and artistic college graduates can't mix up with food!" Holden added unconvincingly, "Don't worry, I also majored in law! Double degree!"

"Oh! Mr. Lawyer, you must be able to make a fortune in the future!" The old man's face showed a pleasing smile.

"Huh! It turns out to be a lawsuit stick, a vampire who bullies honest people!" The old man's youngest son whispered, as if he had prejudice against the "lawyer" industry.

The old man was very embarrassed. He looked back and slapped his little son on the back of his head. He yelled at him to shut up and apologized to Holden again and again: "The **** is not sensible.

Holden rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly, shaking his head to show that he didn't mind. Audrey and Hailar wouldn't be polite to him, and laughed out gleefully.

According to the rancher owner’s instructions, Qiao An and the others learned that they were walking westward along the small river outside the ranch. Grizzly Bear Town is just 40 miles away by the forest, crossing the valley forest, opposite the "River Valley" where the indigenous Assa people live. Town", that is, the settlement created by the Logan family after they moved out of Shizhu Town.

Qiao An and the others plan to take a carriage to Grizzly Town for lunch, while waiting for the Walsung brothers and sisters to meet, and after meeting they continue westward together, crossing the river valley forest, to the destination of the trip, "River Valley Town", and inspect the local Asa The living conditions of the tribesmen-Qiao An doesn't quite understand how this is related to the death of Captain Anderson, but Slud's arrangement is based on her reason.

Qiao An cast a spell to summon a "phantom carriage", greeted three friends to get on the car, waved goodbye to the rancher's family, and urged the horse to gallop away.

The rancher watched the carriage drifting away, with envy in his eyes. He turned around and reprimanded his two sons: "Look at the master master, and look at the two of you who are unbelievable! Alas, if your brains are clever enough, willing Study hard, I will send you to college even if I am selling iron! What can I do to be a Wrangler for a lifetime? If our family trains a mage, even a lawyer, no one in the neighborhood should look at our family!"
