My summons are weird

"name."

"Lu Yu, next to me is my servant Sigrid."

"What about the black mist and white mist?"

"Oh, this is our traveling companion, the Mist Demon. The one on my shoulder is a summoned object."

"Summon, then you are a magician, right?"

Halfway through the recording, the guard raised his head and looked at Lu Yu for a long time, then asked, "What do you do in the capital?"

Lu Yu told the truth: "During the trip, I took a short rest and prepared to collect some materials here."

The guard continued to record, and nodded to Lu Yu after checking with his companions.

"Seeing that you are an outsider, let me remind you that there have been murderers committing crimes in the capital recently, and it is not peaceful, so try not to run out of the city at night. It is not a big problem if you are misunderstood by us, but it is a big trouble for you to be targeted by murderers." gone."

The same scene also happened in the tavern where Lu Yu stayed. I don't know how many people got quarreled after washing up and lying down to rest.

After the guards left, the owner of the tavern sent fruit plates to the annoying passengers who were inspected three times a day.

Many guests arrived at the capital of the Grand Empire after a long day of exhaustion. Everyone wanted to take a good rest, but three waves of surprise inspections made everyone sleepless.

The guests eating the fruit plate simply sat in the tavern and complained about the bad things they encountered today.

"The details of the registration in the city gave me a headache. I'm just a small businessman. They insisted on telling me about my recent actions, and asked me if I could prove it... How can I prove it?"

"It's the same with me. At first I thought these guards wanted to take advantage of me, but they didn't accept them at all. They also invited the magician who was sitting in the town to question me for a while... Fortunately, the magician let me go, otherwise I would I'm going to sleep in jail tonight."

"I heard that there are knights stationed in the south city and the east city, so the guards will not move around in a mess. It seems that you are all unlucky ones who left the two gates."

"Okay, so what if you come in. After three consecutive rounds of inspections in the evening, you will be pulled out to answer questions after taking a shower... Aren't they doing useless work by screening like this?"

Lu Yu and Sigrid ate the fruit plate and looked at the two notices in their hands.

One of them is the murderer that Lu Yu had heard about in Kais City. The Imperial Knights, one of the three major knight orders of the Grand Empire, offered a reward for clues about the murderer. According to the authenticity of the clues, they will provide generous rewards. .

Through the information collection after arriving in the capital, Lu Yu also had a basic understanding of this murderer.

The murderer committed the crime for the first time in the spring of last year. People don't know much about the first victim. They only know that it was a young man. His death was extremely tragic. When the body was found, a village woman was frightened.

Because this young man was homeless and his identity information was unknown, the relevant personnel of the Grand Empire who handled the case simply reported him as a gangster vendetta to fool him.

Perhaps those who handled the case at that time would not have thought that this was just the beginning.

After the first victim, the killer killed sixteen people in a row after that, and some details that were concealed by the authorities finally leaked out.

Every victim's body was mutilated, and the missing parts could not be found from the scene, and it was suspected that they were taken away by the murderer.

According to reports, the only thing the victims have in common is that they are all under the age of twenty.

The ethnicity of the victims varied and no one group was targeted for killing.

Putting down the reward notice for the murderer, the other notice in Lu Yu's hand should be the reason why King Ge Lang is so heavily guarded.

The Kingdom of the Elf and the Kingdom of Grand will stop the state of war that has lasted for nearly twenty years. In order to show their sincerity, the kings of both sides will visit each other's capital.

The Elven King will arrive at the Grand Capital in a few days, and the last time the murderer committed a crime in the Royal Capital was half a month ago. , that loses the face of the country.

Lulutis could figure out the logic of what they did, but the problem is... the story of the murderer is rumored all over the street, wouldn't people from the Elf Kingdom know about it after a little inquiring here?

Lu Yu didn't want to explain too much, he had seen this kind of operation a lot.

People from the Elven Country probably won't see a few normal people when they travel. The streets are full of peace and tranquility, so they will naturally have face.

Whether it is the murderer or the restoration of normal relations between the two countries and the opening of the border, it has nothing to do with Lu Yu, a passer-by.

After eating the fruit plate, Lu Yu stretched his waist, yawned and was about to go back to his room to sleep, but there was another commotion outside the tavern door.

The guard who had just left for a short time came to the tavern again, and the guest who hadn't gone back to sleep sighed, ready to be questioned again.

Unexpectedly, this time the guard did not ask questions, but took out a crystal ball and waved it around in front of every guest and even the alcoholics who came to consume.

When it came to Lu Yu, the crystal ball flickered a few times.

Seeing the condition of the crystal ball, the captain of the guard stepped forward and said to Lu Yu, "Magician, right? Come with us."

Lu Yu was puzzled, the opponent's posture was obviously aimed at the identity of a magician.

But the guard who came just now registered his identity as a magician and didn't say much. What's the trouble?

"This white mist and black mist are both your summons, right? Dispel them quickly, and don't bring them with you."

Faced with the other party's request, Lu Yu was not so stubborn as to directly resist it. After all, it seemed that the other party was also doing routine work now, and there was nothing wrong with it except that the tone of the law enforcement was not very good.

Give all the luggage to Sigrid, and tell them to eat and drink.

"You can spend whatever you want while I'm not around. It's a rare opportunity!"

Lu Yu's words made Sigrid dumbfounded.

Seeing that Lulutis wanted to follow him quietly, Lu Yu quickly gestured to her.

Following the rules can at least ensure that the other party will not have unnecessary misunderstandings. If it is clearly stated that the summoned objects are not allowed to accompany, but Lulutis still follows, then the other party will be able to take advantage of the trend, and things will change.

Being led out of the east gate by the guards, Lu Yu found that there were quite a few magicians like himself who were led out of the city by the guards, and many of them were just like him, with an unidentified appearance.

A camp appeared in the distance, with flags fluttering.

A pair of wings grew out of a sword. This pattern is the logo of the Wind Feather Knights, one of the three major knight orders in the empire.

In the camp, Lu Yu looked left and right, and found that the people in the camp of the Wind Feather Knights were in a hurry, and most of the knights had anxious expressions on their faces.

More and more magicians were gathered together, and the number was close to thirty.

And they have been left hanging, no one has come to explain why they were brought here.

After staying like this until the middle of the night, Lu Yu, who was extremely sleepy, was already a little annoyed by waiting.

In this situation, no one dared to sleep, for fear that something might happen and it would be too late to react.

Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore.

A female magician wearing a pointed hat angrily approached a knight and yelled: "We waited from the first half of the night to the second half of the night, and then it's almost dawn. What are you trying to do? What are you asking us to do here! "

Sleepy, waiting for several hours in a row, no matter how good-tempered people are, they are on the verge of breaking out.

With someone taking the lead, more than 30 magicians stepped forward one after another, asking for an explanation.

Soldiers and knights drew their weapons one after another, archers on the tower prepared, and even magicians came out of the camp.

Just when the magician's sanity collapsed, more than a dozen people came to the camp on horseback.

A scar on the face of the first middle-aged man almost slanted across his entire face. As soon as he arrived at the scene with his falcon-like eyes, the soldiers present put away their weapons one after another, and the members of the knight order stood at attention one after another.

"Captain Nalin, these are the people."

"Have you confirmed everything?"

"I've confirmed that they are all magicians, and they are all near the area where the incident occurred."

The head of the group, Nalin, walked in front of the magicians, and his sharp eyes extinguished the rising anger of the magicians present.

"Not long ago, the murderer committed crimes again, within the capital."

Narin didn't talk nonsense, walking between the magicians.

"Different from before, this time the murderer targeted a baron's daughter. She was suddenly attacked by the murderer and resisted desperately, but at the same time she was seriously injured. Although she did not see the appearance of the murderer clearly, she But the call for help was successful."

"According to the modus operandi of previous murderers, this lunatic is a magician. Because the baron's daughter called for help in time this time, the soldiers in the capital quickly blocked the surrounding area, and it is impossible for anyone to escape from the DC area."

Narin's tone became even colder: "And now...all the magicians near the crime scene are here."

While speaking, Radna, the head of the Imperial Knights, also led his team to the base of the Wind Feather Knights.

The blond-haired and monocle-wearing Radna asked the team members to move a chair for him as soon as he arrived at the scene, while he himself sat upright behind Nalin, without saying a word, scanning the magicians present with a livid face.

With this posture, the two knights have already determined that the crazy murderer is among the people present.

Lu Yu was so sleepy that his eyelids were clenched, even after hearing such explosive news, he couldn't stop yawning.

Compared with the heads of the two knight orders, he should be the one who most hopes to catch the murderer.

It's been a whole night of tossing, the murderer is obsessed with magic, and he goes back to sleep by himself. Is there anything better than this?

With a clear conscience, Lu Yu sat on the ground and watched the situation quietly.

It is impossible for the murderer to stand up and turn himself in. The two major knight groups also know this, so they began to question the magicians one by one, what they were doing when the incident happened, and who can prove it.

Lu Yu looked at this group of people doing useless work here, and it was really a head and two big.

He didn't want to stand out among this group of people, but he could see clearly that if he didn't say something, maybe he would spend tomorrow night in the Knights' garrison.

Lu Yu raised his hand.

The management staff of the Knights in the front row saw it and motioned for a person to go over and ask what happened.

A knight came to the two captains with Lu Yu's words.

"Head, this magician said that he has something to say to you quietly."

Narin and Ladd looked at each other, and Narin nodded slightly to his subordinates.

Lu Yu, who was led in front of the two captains, had not had time to say anything before the high-ranking knights of the Imperial Knights asked, "Are you going to surrender?"

Lu Yu snorted, cleared his throat, and asked, "Are you two trying to arrest a copycat of a murderer, or a murderer?"

"What do you mean?"

"I just heard that the baron's daughter seems to be a high-level magician, right?" Lu Yu said, "A perverted murderer who killed seventeen people in a row would not know the strength of the target he was attacking, so he couldn't attack himself rashly. Is the object shot?"

"A murderer with strong anti-reconnaissance ability, every time he kills, he kidnaps and kills first, and then dumps the body. Why did the eighteenth crime give up the original plan and choose to do it on the spot?"

In fact, there is still one thing that Lu Yu didn't say.

None of the magicians present had aristocratic status.

Is it because the nobles in Dongcheng do not have magician blood, or did they do so deliberately?

Narin and Radna stared at Lu Yu.

"Magician, I admit that what you said is a bit interesting. There is indeed the possibility of imitation crimes, but how can you be sure that this is not a murderer's mistake?"

Captain Nalin's face was sullen, making the scar even more ugly, he slowly approached Lu Yu and said.

"Among the people killed by the killer before, there was only one first-level magician. It is completely understandable that he missed the second-level magician because he couldn't satisfy his hunting pleasure and planned to challenge the difficulty."

"It's reasonable, but if you catch it like this, even if there is a murderer here, so what, do you have evidence?"

Lardner, the head of the Imperial Knights who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"Magician, your tone makes me feel that you are the murderer."

"Killed people, escaped sanctions many times, and was even captured by the Knights, but still managed to get away with the lack of evidence. He talked with us about details and flaws with a smile, and showed off his shrewdness..."

"Do you know, in my opinion, there is only one person who can quickly judge others as imitators... and that is the murderer himself."

The members of the Imperial Knights who heard Radna's voice came forward to surround Lu Yu.

Narin, who was rubbing his chin in thought, dissuaded him, "Commander Radna, the incident happened suddenly. I really didn't think too much about it. There is indeed the possibility of imitators. We should be cautious."

Lardner stood up with a sneer: "Careful?"

"The Imperial Knights are an extension of His Majesty's power. We represent His Majesty's will, which is different from Feng Yu and the stars."

"Your Majesty is busy with the meeting with the Elf King. The nobles are planning how to welcome the Elf family. We should do our best to share their worries."

"In special times, we don't have so much time for us to confirm repeatedly. I don't say he is a criminal, I just say that he has serious suspicions. I will lock him up for a while. When the Elf King leaves, his suspicions can be cleared and then released. No problem?"

"Even if he is not a murderer, we caught the wrong one, and the news is released. Both the original and the copycats want to prove that they have not been caught and commit crimes again. If they slap us in the face, we will naturally have a chance to catch him again."

Lu Yu barely understood Radner's logic in shock.

It means that he thinks that he suspects that there are imitators, which means that he is the murderer himself.

Although he has no evidence, but because of time sensitivity, it doesn't matter if there is no evidence. If he is wronged, he will be wronged. If he happens to lock up the real killer, he will win glory for the country.

It doesn't matter if you catch the wrong one, if you wronged Lu Yu, maybe you caught the real killer, and it would be considered fair to him.

This logic comes from the head of a knight order directly related to the empire... It's really not too surprising.
