"You are not allowed to sabotage!"

The four reserve demon hunter apprentices headed by Monty rushed up immediately, their thin and small bodies blocked the mountain-like tall and majestic demon hunter.

When Karl saw this, he immediately broke free from the priestess' hand, joined his little companion, glared, and grinned with fine white teeth, like an angry lion cub.

But no deterrent.

Then other boys, girls.

Twenty children from the orphanage rushed forward one by one.

Little hands holding hands to form a human wall.

A dam that is not as high as the chest of an ordinary person, is too fragile, and is made of flesh and blood.

Surrounded by their teachers.

Facing tall adults.

Heavily armed and armored sheriff, and behind him densely packed with hundreds of temple guards and a turbulent crowd.

The innocent and childish little faces are as tight as steel.

They shouted resolutely!

"Go away!"

"Don't destroy my home!"

"Don't hurt my family!"

"I don't want to wander anymore!"

At this moment, there were only children's voices one after another in the courtyard.

At this moment, twenty hearts were beating violently like never before.

The sheriff stood there with a stiff face.

All adults were speechless.

After a long silent confrontation.

Vesemir sighed suddenly, turned his face away, and rubbed the corners of his eyes.

Aiden opened his mouth slightly, took a few breaths, and his heart was ups and downs.

He never thought that there would be such a day when he would be protected by a group of children who looked like carrots...

It's an amazing feeling.

Is this the Witcher Brotherhood?

Even the children raised are so different.

"Boys, is your butt itchy again! Hide behind, the teacher doesn't need your protection!" Lambert's eyes flashed a touch of emotion, but his face was fierce and his mouth was merciless, trying to hug the child behind him.

But he didn't dare to exert himself.

"Don't even think about it!" the orphans retorted him with unprecedented firmness.

The three of the Snake School exchanged glances and were just about to speak.

"Quiet!" Chapelle yelled suddenly, and the temple guard behind him pulled out his sword with a "swish".

The sharp steel sword reflected the sunlight, dazzled the eyes.

The dwarf held down the hammer with both hands.

The witcher put his ring around the child.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the field was tense.

"Put the sword away, bastard!" Chapelle suddenly gave the guard behind him a hard look, "The Eternal Flame gave you weapons, not for you to deal with innocent people and vulnerable groups!"

His shiny metallic eyes slowly swept across the five demon hunters, the collector, and the child in front of them who was trembling with fear in his eyes, but still stubbornly opened his hands and stood in front of them.

"Masters, I know that you hold a seal that can manipulate people's hearts—"

He changed the topic, wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face was full of emotion,

"But this time, I believe you are innocent!"

"Demons and brutes could never have raised such brave and loyal children."

"It's even harder to get their true love."

"Your Excellency the wise magistrate, you have finally come to your senses!" The butcher said loudly and firmly at this time, with blood vessels in his neck protruding and spittle flying, "We have said long ago that that letter is a slander, pouring dirt on the witcher's head!" water!"

"Someone wants to provoke the relationship between us, so that the demon hunter will be accused by thousands of people, and everyone will betray their relatives!"

"Who then?" Chapelle asked.

"I think you should meet a fat man."

Chapter 26 From Redania

Gawain House under heavy guard.

Within a day, the strongest forces in Nuocheng were gathered.

The Witcher, the Big Three, and the Eternal Flame.

Nine people surrounded the bounty hunter and city councilor Sebastian who was tied up in the center.

Twenty daring children were driven into the classroom by Vesemir again, and the old man was going to give them an ideological education class.

……

"The day after Senator Sebastian was arrested, someone dropped a letter into the donation box of the temple..."

Chapelle pondered, "This is no coincidence."

"Your Excellency the Sheriff," Leto touched his bald head, "I guess you are as unlucky as Cliff and Francis, and failed to find the person who sent the letter?"

"Master, I think it is necessary to educate you. Novigrad is a city with a population of tens of thousands. There are at least a thousand believers passing through the donation box on Temple Island every day. How can I find a way?"

"Okay, but obviously, Sebastian and the person who sent the letter are in the same group!" Serrit analyzed word by word,

"I even have a strong premonition that the sender is his heir."

Several pairs of amber vertical pupils locked on the bloated face, capturing any change in expression,

"This fat man had expected it a long time ago and left instructions for his accomplices. If he is accidentally caught by a demon hunter, his accomplices will immediately send this report letter and let the temple guards surround Gawain's House!"

"Arrest the witcher for child abuse! And he got away!"

Under such a direct and strong questioning, the fat man's face was only blank, and he didn't even blink his eyes.

As if they didn't know anything about it.

"But you are doomed to be disappointed!" Lambert pointed at the fat man's nose and spit.

"You can only bind yourself in a cocoon!"

"Masters, this is all speculation and there is no conclusive evidence yet." Chapelle shook his head, and gently pressed the top of the fat man's head with his cold palms in leather gloves, as if examining a dead body, "But so many eyes in the orphanage see Seeing his crime, hiring someone to kidnap a girl, the crime of smuggling people cannot be escaped, and the hemp rope on the gallows has been tied, waiting for him to come! Of course, this lawless Jurgen also Don't get away with it."

"When I go back and look up the arrest warrant, there might be a portrait of him in it!"

"Hmm..." Fatty and the bounty hunter looked terrified, and two fleshy worms rolled on the ground.

"Member Sebastian, recruit now! What is the reason for framing the demon hunter?!" Chapelle asked, "Where did they offend you?!"

"To be honest, you can die faster and suffer less torture!"

"Even death sentence commuted to exile!"

The fat man shook his head frantically, with snot and tears running down his bloated face, his expression was full of pleading.

"It's useless, Mr. Chapelle, this guy doesn't take hard things." Oakes shook his head, "We have used both magic methods and conventional torture, but it's a pity that he always put forward that set of excuses—a girl in an orphanage looks like her dead daughter!"

"What if what he said is true?"

"No..." Lei Suo shook his head, "My intuition tells me that he is lying and hiding."

"That intuition has saved my life countless times."

"Then why don't I try it?" Chapelle stroked the Lamia whip on his waist, his eyes narrowed, like a poisonous snake staring at its prey.

"I have been a sheriff for ten years, and I have encountered many diehards, but no one can persist under my command for half an hour."

"I'm quite disappointed." He showed a cruel smile at the fat man, "Maybe Sir Sebastian can break the record and surprise me?"

Lambert opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Collector took his hand.

"I fully believe in His Excellency Chapelle's means, and I think things will definitely turn around if he tortures him!"

All the demon hunters present who knew the real identity of Collector looked at him in surprise.

What the hell?

The doppelganger actually praised the culprit who had hunted him down for most of his life, the commander of the Eternal Flame.

However, what surprised them even more was that Magistrate Chapelle and the collector looked at each other and nodded at each other in unison.

There seemed to be some kind of unspoken tacit understanding between the two.

"Then it's a deal!" The collector said, "Let Mr. Chapelle torture Sebastian!"

"I need a quiet environment..." The sheriff said with a smile, "A closed room with no one, just me and him."

……

Chapelle's torture was faster than everyone expected.

Results were available in half an hour.He pulled the unconscious fat man out of the toilet, whispered something to the priestess under him, and the latter immediately left Gawain's House with a few temple guards and went into the alder bushes.

"Your Majesty the Sheriff, did you ask anything?"

The butcher rubbed his hands together and asked impatiently,

"Finally lived up to expectations," Chapelle heaved a sigh of relief, showing a slight smile, "This guy has explained everything he can."

The demon hunters were even more surprised. How could the Sheriff, a mere mortal, tell him to be honest when even their Axii sign was helpless?

"I have to thank the masters for catching this guy." He said sincerely, "Sebastian is a tailor shop owner on the surface, a city councilor who has a dead daughter in his heart."

"His actual identity is not simple, and even threatens the entire honor system of Novigrad!"

What is the honor system of Nuocheng?

Everyone present was either a person over half a hundred years old, or a party's overlord, and they quickly got the answer after thinking about it.

Novigrad is located in Redania, but it is equivalent to a country within a country. It is not controlled by Redania. It relies on the natural giant port to conduct freight business with all countries in the north and even the Skellige Islands. .

Relying on free and prosperous trade, the entire city can become the wealthiest place in the north.

There is no doubt that the four most powerful countries in the north, Redania, Kaedwen, Temeria, and Aedirn, all covet the amazing wealth contained in Nor City.

However, the four kings were worried that the city's administrators would come and destroy the port, burn the fleet, and rob the treasury, so they did not dare to take tough measures to attack the city recklessly.

Let it be a free city.

Leto exchanged glances with several companions, recalling the process of torturing Sebastian back then.

Fatty's willpower and endurance are beyond the scope of ordinary people, making the seal invalid.

"Could he be a staff member of a certain national intelligence agency?"

Chapelle smiled without saying a word.

"Be patient, everyone, within an hour, Kai'Sa will bring back the evidence, and the truth will be revealed by then. Besides—" The sheriff suddenly smiled apologetically at several people,

"Your Excellency Collector, Master Demon Hunter, I deeply apologize for the stupid behavior of believing in slander before."

"We accept your apology." Leto said, "I hope there will be no next time. It is rash to lead so many soldiers to surround Gawain House to scare our children."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid it will lead to irreparable bitter fruit."

"I was reckless. In fact, the main purpose of my trip is to find out what kind of person the master witcher is."

His eyes slowly swept across the crowd, his originally cold and scary face became full of life,

"The executioner who is ruthless and murders people everywhere, and the pervert who uses orphans to carry out cruel experiments.
