Chapter 65 Interrogation
The camp of the guards was built near the city gate.

The guards are responsible for two things on weekdays. One is the daily inspection of the streets of Border City. There are six patrol teams, who take turns on duty in a certain order. Ensuring the safety of the streets is their main responsibility.Another duty is to guard the city gate, because the border city is not a big town, and the number of soldiers guarding the city wall is relatively small. In order to simplify the responsibility, the city lord merged the original city defense force with the patrol force.

However, many monsters have emerged from outside the city recently, and the city is also in riots due to the endless occurrence of monster incidents. The guard camp, which was originally understaffed, is now even more stretched.

When Ais followed the soldiers to the camp, the general in charge of the camp didn't look good.

"What is it this time? How did you catch the little devil's head back?"

General Luke is a middle-aged man in his 40s. His slovenly face looks a little weathered, and his eyelids droop weakly, as if he is bored with everything around him. At this time, Luke holds his chin with one hand and crosses his legs to look at the soldiers. The young man brought back seemed very dissatisfied with the results of these soldiers' work.

"Boss, when we arrived at the scene, the monsters had been eliminated."

"Oh? How did it get wiped out?"

"That's the kid."

The captain of the defending team pushed Ays to Luke. Ays shrank and lowered his head. Those who knew knew that he was the hero who defeated the monsters. Those who didn’t know thought he was caught by the guards. fugitive.

"Haha, don't be ridiculous, that's a B-level monster. Even if you want to subdue it, it will take a lot of effort. How can this kid destroy the monster?"

"But Boss, the residents around are saying this, saying that this kid is a magician who used magic to destroy monsters."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Luke finally lifted his spirits. He raised his head and took a closer look at Ayes. The boy in front of him was carrying chickens and ducks in his hands and carried a pile of ingredients on his back. No matter how he looked, he looked like he was going out to buy vegetables on the street. servant.

"The style of that dress is..."

The experienced Luke found some clues from Ayes.

He grabbed Ayes in front of him, his expression became sharp.

"Boy, with these clothes on you, are you a servant of the Lord of the City?"

"Yes, my name is Ayes, and I am a servant of Lord Cador's family."

"I don't remember that Lord Kador's servant can use magic. Hey, boy, tell me the truth, who defeated that monster."

"It's really me."

"It's really you? Haha." Luke suddenly laughed, "You underestimate me too much. I was also a quasi-A-level adventurer back then. Do you think I can't see through such a simple lie?"

"I am not lying..."

"Boss, I heard from the nearby residents that he used a magic book as a medium to cast magic. Could it be that he got some treasure so he didn't want to say it?" The soldier on the side said what he had learned.

When Ayes heard what the soldier said, he immediately covered his pocket in fright.

--empty!
Ayes's heart tightened, and he clearly put the magic book master in his clothes, but now that place is empty.

Looking back now, I didn't hear the voice of Master Spellbook on this journey. Ayes thought it was Lord Spellbook who was afraid of exposing himself, but he was not by his side at all.

That is to say, Master Magic Book temporarily left Ays in order not to reveal his identity?Ayes had mixed feelings, now that so many soldiers surrounded him, his heart was already in his throat.

"Is there anything in your pocket? Search it for me."

The sharp-eyed Luke immediately understood what Ays was doing. He gave the soldier next to him a look, and the soldier nodded and quickly went forward to search Ayes' pocket.

"Nothing, boss."

Ais breathed a sigh of relief, Master Grimoire saved his life instead of following him.

"No? Look for another place."

The general refused to give up and continued to order the search, but the result was very disappointing. Even after searching all over Ayes' body and the ingredients he carried, he still couldn't find the so-called magic book used to release the magic.

"Tsk, brat." Luke was very annoyed at nothing, he stared at Ayes and asked sternly: "Since you defeated the monster, how about showing your magic in front of us now?"

"me……"

Unexpectedly, there is such a trick, and now Ayes is completely panicked, he can't release magic at all without the magic guide book.

"Oh, it really is a liar, drag him down for interrogation!"

"Please wait."

Just when the soldiers were about to take Ays away, an uninvited guest broke into the guard barracks. It was a deacon. He stood straight in front of the door, and then saluted respectfully to everyone in the house.

"Leo?!"

When Ayes saw the person in front of the door, he immediately recognized Leo.

Leo gave Ayes a bitter look, and Ayes was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak immediately. He knew that he had caused trouble, no, he obviously did something good, but he aroused the general's suspicion and made him I fell into a dilemma.

He didn't know how Leo knew he was here, but if it was that Leo.

Thinking of this, Ayes' eyes were full of hope again.

"I'm very sorry to disturb you all. I am the deacon of Mr. Kador's family. I heard that the servant who went out to purchase ingredients was brought here because the family is still short of manpower. I wonder if I can take him back?"

"Brother Leo! You really came to save me!"

Ays was about to burst into tears when he heard Leo's words, he hurriedly broke away from the soldiers who wanted to catch him and ran to Leo's side.

At this time, he couldn't control the resentment between him and Leo, Ays held Leo's arm tightly, unwilling to let go at all.

"Phew." Leo sighed, "If Miss Rezeta hadn't been worried about you, I wouldn't have come out to look for you."

"It really is Rezeta!"

"It's just a deacon. If you say anything stupid here, unless the Lord of the City comes here in person, you can't expect me to let him go."

Leo's expression changed when he heard the general's answer.

"I don't know what mistake Ais made. I heard that he helped to deal with the monsters in the city."

"Yes, it's this boy. Now I suspect that he is the murderer who helped the monster sneak into the city."

"No, no, absolutely not!"

Ayes shook his head anxiously, but he couldn't prove his innocence.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just when Leo wanted to continue defending Ayes, there was a burst of bangs not far away.

"It's not good, it's not good, boss! There are monsters coming over the city wall!" A soldier who summoned the messenger broke into the door.

"Why panic?! The sky will collapse with me in it."

Luke angrily rebuked, but before he could finish his words, a big green mouth came from far away, and in the flash of lightning, the messenger soldier who was still at the door was swallowed up by the big mouth.

The faces of the soldiers in the room turned pale instantly.

"It's so fragrant... so fragrant, is it you? The one who aroused the old man's appetite?"

——It was a giant blue snake more than ten meters long.

Now the giant snake muttered to itself, stretched its body, penetrated into the camp, and rushed straight towards Ayes.
