Digital Alien

Chapter 63 Knights, new mission

Open the door and enter the house. The room is spacious and bright. Facing the door are two large windows facing south, and the sunlight shines on the ground from the outside.

On the right wall is a painting of a flying dragon, signed "Jiang Shouyi", the mayor of Hutao, Jiang Xiaoying's father.

Fang Yu felt that it was not as good as the one he drew casually, lacking momentum, and didn't feel much oppression.

Looking down, there is an ordinary table, and a middle-aged man wearing armor and having a physique similar to Shi Zifeng is sitting on a chair behind the table.

With a full beard, sharp eyebrows and tiger eyes, he has a strong temper from his appearance, which matches the name Qiu Lie very well.

Qiu Lie raised his head, saw a young man came in, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency is the vice president of the Magician's Union?"

The voice is also very rough and thick, which invisibly gives people a sense of pressure.

"I'm Fang Yu, the newly appointed vice president of the Magician's Union. It's the first time we meet, please give me your advice." Fang Yu saluted, came to Qiu Lie's desk, and extended his right hand.

Try to keep your face as gentle as possible to conceal the urgency of your mood.

Qiu Lie looked at Fang Yu carefully, then stood up, reached out to shake Fang Yu, grinned and said:

"I didn't expect President Mo to stay in the position for such a long time, but a young man finally took office, haha."

"My name is Qiu Lie, the head of the Knights." Qiu Lie let go of his hand and said seriously, "The vice president is here today, what's the matter?"

Fang Yu took a deep breath, and said as calmly as possible: "I came today to find out about the assassination of Vice President Ren Lao yesterday, and the murderers arrested by the leader yesterday."

Hearing Fang Yu mentioning this matter, Qiu Lie squinted his eyes immediately, sat back on the chair and said, "It doesn't seem to have any direct connection with the Magician's Union, does it?"

"To be honest, the violators you arrested are my friends."

boom!
Qiu Lie stood up abruptly, and the magic power in his body started to run. He said in a deep voice, "What do you mean? You want me to be selfish and release the violators?"

"Hmph, if that's the case, then please go back, I, Qiu Lie, never do such careless things."

Qiu Lie restrained his aura, walked to the window and turned his back to Fang Yu.

The knight leader's temper is too impatient... Fang Yu had no choice but to continue to calmly say: "I didn't mean that."

"Then what do you mean?" Qiu Lie turned his head.

"I think you have arrested the wrong person, leader. Those violators—let's just put it this way, from my understanding, it is absolutely impossible to be the murderer."

Fang Yu walked up to Qiu Lie, looking distressed, raised his hand and rubbed his temple.

In fact, he turned on the system and checked Qiu Lie's data:

Status: good
Blood value: 4760
Level: 3 cores 4 star

……

It is indeed very strong, but the blood value is lower than that of Lan Qingyou of the same level, which should be due to her talent.

"Impossible." Qiu Lie categorically vetoed, "We have solid evidence, that's why we carried out the arrest."

"What is the evidence?" Fang Yu asked with a frown.

He had to understand this before he could think of a way to help everyone in Qiyao get out of trouble.

Qiu Lie snorted, and began to count the evidence that he had obtained: "The scene where Ren Lao was assassinated was by Tianxin Lake, and the time was yesterday afternoon. The murderer must have been there yesterday afternoon. This is one of them."

"Ren Lao is a three-core one-star magician. Although his physique is not as good as that of a swordsman, those who are capable of killing Ren Lao must be cultivators with three cores or above. This is the second."

"Ren Lao was pierced through the heart and killed with one blow. The weapon that caused the wound was a sword, and the murderer must be a swordsman with a sword, and the quality will not be lower than that of Lan Pin, this is the third."

"The magic power of the wind attribute remains on the wound. The murderer's magic power must have wind. This is the fourth."

"Ren Lao's assistant was with Ren Lao at the time, and saw that the back of the murderer was a woman, tall and tall with long hair, and reconfirmed that it was very consistent with the back of the violator. This is the fifth."

"Sixth point, I picked up this thing at the position where I worked hard."

Qiu Lie turned around and took out a metal mercenary name tag, and handed it to Fang Yu.

Fang Yu's eyes froze. This is indeed Jin Yao's mercenary name tag. I still remember that she once said that the name tag was lost somewhere while playing.

Qiu Lie took back the name tag, and said in a cold voice: "All the evidence points to this violator named Jin Yao, and she also personally admitted that the owner of the name tag is her, so what else can I say?"

Fang and the person being said were speechless.

In the last battle with Lan Qingyou, Fang Yu did see that Jin Yao's attribute is wind.

If Jinyao wanted to kill a three-core one-star mage with one blow, he would at least have a blue-pin weapon when mages usually had weak defenses.

And Jinyao's long sword is indeed blue grade.

Other evidences are also surprisingly consistent with Jin Yao, so it's no wonder Qiu Lie is so sure.

But Fang Yu knew that everyone in Jinyao was with him all day yesterday, and he had never even seen Ren Lao's face, so it was impossible for him to be the murderer.

But I can't say it directly.

"What about the verdict against Jinyao and the others? What's the result?" Fang Yu asked.

Qiu Lie returned to the chair, sat down and said expressionlessly: "According to the precepts, violators and their accomplices will be sentenced to death at six o'clock this afternoon."

"Can you give me some time, I will re-investigate the assassination incident." Fang Yu walked to the table and put his hands on the table with an eager expression.

"Only based on these evidences, it cannot be determined that Jin Yao is the murderer."

"The mercenary nameplate may have been accidentally dropped when passing there, and Jinyao is not the only female three-core strong in Hutao Town, and the wind attribute is not exclusive to Jinyao."

"These evidences can't determine who the murderer is. Maybe the real murderer is someone else. As a knight guarding Walnut Town, you can't wrong a good person!"

"Please go back." Qiu Lie was obviously losing his temper, his chest began to heave, and he said in a deep voice, "I only told you so much because of my identity as the vice president of the Magicians Union. Don’t blame me for being impolite if you interfere with the work of the Knights.”

Fang Yu fell silent, staring at Qiu Lie, even ready to take out the slow card.

But after thinking about it for a while, he could only sigh, turned around and walked towards the door.

With more than five hours remaining, force cannot be used unless absolutely necessary.

Otherwise, not only himself would be affected, but the entire Qiyao mercenary group would be wanted by the Dongling Kingdom.

"Ding!"

A notification sound suddenly sounded in his mind, and Fang Yu turned on the system before going out, only to see a red dot on the task button.

Main task: Convince Qiu Lie and postpone the deadline.

Reward: +1 lottery chance, +1 usage times of the active skill [Substitute].

……

The main quest was triggered, but it was extremely difficult to convince Qiu Lie.

Fang Yu no longer expected to complete this task, and did not care about the reward, so he directly exited the system.

Jiang Xiaoying has been eavesdropping at the door, and when she saw Fang and Xiang going out, she quickly retracted her head and began to think about the purpose of Fang and seniors doing this:
Huh, what Fang and senior said, the murderer of the assassination must be an evil organization that distorts the world, that's why senior is so concerned.

The senior knew that the people captured by the knights did not belong to evil forces, and he didn't want innocent people to be implicated, so he stepped forward and negotiated with the powerful "evil adjudicator".

Investigate it yourself, presumably to find the real evil force, fight against it, and protect the world that is about to be distorted!

"Phew, it is indeed Fang and senior who stepped forward for the safety of the world at the first time." Jiang Xiaoying felt that she had been able to "communicate" with Fang and senior, and she couldn't help secretly delighting.

"The Fierce Judge" is Jiang Xiaoying's name for Qiu Lie, because Qiu Lie is too fierce, and always looks down on her, like a fierce spirit.

Fang Yu walked out the door, glanced at Jiang Xiaoying, and suddenly thought that Jiang Xiaoying was the mayor's daughter, if the mayor could come forward...

After a while, Fang Yu shook his head again.

Jiang Xiaoying was still too young, and the mayor Jiang Shouyi managed Hutao Town so prosperously, so she definitely could not be a good-for-nothing villain like Yang Yan, the mayor of Ningxin Town.

Jiang Xiaoying has a second-rate personality and is playful. In Jiang Shouyi's heart, her credibility is estimated to be zero.

Jiang Shouyi would definitely not help out just because of his daughter's one-sidedness.

All the way out of the gate of the Knights, Fang Yu came to the street, looking at the wanted notice posted on the lamppost, he couldn't help feeling a little irritable.

It's really too difficult, the head of the regiment is too stubborn, if the mayor is not allowed to come forward, it is almost impossible to get him to compromise.

But there was no proper reason for the mayor to come forward either.

"If it doesn't work, I can only use the concealment card and go to the prison outside the city to find the group leader and the others." Fang Yu thought to himself.

In order to avoid accidents, the prison was set up outside the city wall of Ximen, and Fang Yu had asked Wang Xumei in advance.

This is designed to avoid harm to residents should violators escape.

It seems that this is the only way now. If the situation is urgent, he will directly rob the prison, or use the flying card to take refuge in other kingdoms.

I also said before that I would go to the Ten-Nation Alliance when I was strong enough, so I just went ahead of schedule.

After making up his mind, Fang Yu walked directly towards the west gate, walked through the streets, and came to the place where he entered the city yesterday.

The flow of people is still bustling, but not as much as yesterday, which seems to be the reason for the end of "Magic Cloud".

Jiang Xiaoying followed Fang Yu all the time, Fang Yu didn't speak, and she couldn't guess what Fang Yu was thinking, so she couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

Suddenly, she looked towards the gate of the city, and her eyes lit up.

She got it.

"Huh, as expected of Senior Fang Yu, who can come up with such a method." Jiang Xiaoying felt that she could understand Fang Yu's mind again, and couldn't help being a little excited.

Only then did Fang Yu remember that there was a little follower behind him.

I was so busy thinking just now that I forgot about her.

But... how amazing is he? Fang Yu's flattery was inexplicable.

"What solution did I come up with?" Fang Yu asked suspiciously.

Didn't she just want to rob a prison? Could this be considered something serious by her?
When Jiang Xiaoying heard Fang Yu asking her, she suddenly understood again.

Huh, this must be Fang and Senior testing her, to see if she can tell what Senior thinks!
As expected of Fang and seniors, they could make their expressions so realistic even when testing the juniors. If she hadn't known in advance, they would have thought that Fang and seniors hadn't figured out a way at all.
