Not a Witch

"Everyone! From now on, you are not allowed to leave the city." The powerful reading broke the silence of the night.
The residents of countless towns woke up from their sleep, and then opened the windows and doors in a daze to learn about the sudden outbreak.
Soldiers were already standing on the originally loose city gates and walls. Under the leadership of the captains, they blocked the external exits of the small town, and then searched from house to house.
"What happened?" A resident who got up from bed in the middle of the night opened the door and asked the guard anxiously.
"Lord Mo Ruo has lost something, and now we need to investigate the outsiders in the city." These casual guards looked cold and entered the house one by one to search.
"My lord, our house is so small, how could we hide people." The resident begged, seeing the guards violently turning over the haystacks and overturning the bed, his heart ached.
"Hmph." After checking, the guard turned his head and led the man out of the house.
"The next one."
Although there were not many guards under Viscount Morrow, only about 500 people, but in the face of these guards, the local residents did not dare to resist at all, so they could only open the doors from house to house and let them be searched.
Lorraine Hill was puzzled, put on his clothes, took the sword and Lottie walked out the door, and came to the yard.Now many members of the caravan have gathered here, and everyone is discussing in a low voice.
"I heard from Miss Charlene that Viscount Moruo seems to have lost something important, and now he is searching all over the city."
"What kind of treasure is this, so important?" Others were puzzled.
"I don't know, but I heard that Viscount Moruo was very angry and ordered the guards to die. The results must be found out."
"This is a little troublesome, and I feel that many things will happen." Although the caravan had nothing to do with this matter, they couldn't guarantee whether the angry nobleman would transfer his anger to them.
"We can only wait for news from Miss Charlene. She is currently negotiating with Captain Kevin."
After listening, the others sighed, then turned their heads and found Lorraine Hill who was walking downstairs.
"Is Miss Messia awake too? It's not a peaceful night."
"Well, I'm also coming down to understand the situation." Lorraine Hill nodded and asked about the current situation by the way.
bang bang bang-
Just as everyone was talking in the yard, the door suddenly knocked.
"coming."
The caravan members opened the door suspiciously, and a group of heavily armed guards stood outside the door.They wore blue checked smocks and chain mail, and held halberds in their hands, and there were several soldiers in black beside them.
"My lords, we belong to the Roentgen caravan, and we are old friends of Lord Mo Ruo, ha ha..." The caravan member said with a dry accent, and the volume became smaller and smaller.
"Yes, of course I know your origins, so you are also the main suspects." The captain of the guard is not Kevin, but a man with a vulture. He is a distant relative of Viscount Moruo, and he is naturally trusted by Mo Ruo.
"Let all the members of your caravan gather in the courtyard. If you hide other outsiders, you will know the result." When he said the last few words, his words suddenly turned cold, making others shiver.
"I know, I know..." The young man was obviously a little scared, and quickly responded, and then ran back, beckoning everyone to take his companion out of the room.
Looking at the scene in front of him, the captain of the guard was not satisfied. He waved his hand, and a group of soldiers behind him rushed into the yard like wolves and tigers, quickly climbed the stairs, and pushed open the door in a burst of exclamation. Quickly inspected each hiding place.
Hearing the sound from upstairs, the captain of the guard showed a satisfied smile, and then looked at the people in the yard one by one with his hands behind his back.
"You, and you, come out to me." Soon, he turned his attention to the two beautiful girls.
In the night illuminated by the torch, the beautiful faces and figures of these two girls are so conspicuous and dazzling in the crowd, especially the blonde girl, whose hair is like a golden thread under the reflection of the flame , supple and moving.

Text Volume Chapter 100 Imperial Investigator
Are you calling me, Lorraine Hill quickly realized.
Under the staring gaze of the man's fingers, the surrounding people unknowingly spread out, revealing the two young girls behind them.
Seeing this lady swordsman wearing exquisite silver armor, the eyes of the other guards also brightened, but because of the expensive armor at first glance, they became a little sluggish.People who can use such armor are not mediocre. If they resist, they may lose their lives.
Most of these soldiers are ordinary people, but with complete armor and weapons, they can crush ordinary people.
"Excuse me, what's the matter?" Lorraine Hill stood in front of Lottie, took a few steps forward, and walked out of the crowd.
"Hmph, where are you from? What's the purpose of coming here." He began to think of an excuse to take down this girl.
This is the territory of Viscount Mo Ruo, with his uncle as a big backer, what can he not do?
"I received a mission to escort the Roentgen caravan here." The girl simply explained that her attention was not on the greedy captain of the guard at the moment, but on the soldiers in black behind him, which were worth noting.
These soldiers wearing capes are all between Sequence 3-4 in strength, they are rare elites, and judging from their calm and calm appearance, they are not the dandies of ordinary nobles.
"Oh, do you think so? Follow me to the prison." He said triumphantly, as if everything was under control.
He has used this kind of words many times on weekdays. Anyway, those adventurers who dare not offend Viscount Mo Ruo always get him some benefits in the end.
Although in Lorraine Hill's view, such an order is simply unreasonable and completely unfair, but seeing the anxious looks of the people around them, it seems that they have no good way to do it.
"My lord, this...can you accommodate me. The leader of our caravan, Miss Charlene, is a friend of Lord Moruo, and they have a very good relationship with each other, and this Miss Mesia is also the hero who escorted us to get here. ..." The temporary person in charge of the caravan had no choice but to stand up and wave to the people beside him as he spoke, asking them to fetch a small bag of gold coins.
Looking at the gold coin handed over, the guard captain's eyes were full of greed, but it was difficult to accept it directly due to the presence of so many people around.
"Do you want to bribe and confuse me just because of this? I am Lord Mo Ruo's loyal guard." He snatched the bag of gold coins and held it up high, as if disdainful.
"Of course it's not a bribe. It's just that you and your brothers came out to search in the middle of the night. You really did your duty. We just want to give you some money for dinner. We also want to thank you and the many loyal guards for taking care of the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce." The temporary person in charge quickly turned his head.
"Humph."
For this, the captain of the guard seemed quite satisfied, but looking at Lorraine Hill's beautiful face, he still couldn't move forward.Fortunately, a black-clothed sergeant stepped forward and whispered something in his ear. Then he nodded reluctantly, handed the gold coin to the younger brother beside him, and led them away.
"For the sake of the Roentgen caravans being friends of Mr. Mo Ruo, I won't pursue some of your details this time." After speaking, the captain of the guard led a group of people out of the yard and continued to the next street on the street. Target walks.
Phew, the people in the Roentgen caravan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After leaving, when entering the next house to search, the captain of the guard asked the sergeant a little puzzled.
"Why did you dissuade me just now? Although you are under the command of Lord Investigator, I still want to know the reason."
"My lord, that girl is not simple. She has at least the strength of Sequence 5. If conflicts are really aroused, it will only kill you and me in an instant." The sergeant answered concisely.
"How is it possible? Didn't you say that the girl only has Sequence 4?" It seems that he is not ignorant, but has heard about the girl Mesia before.
"Maybe it's advanced recently. You should have heard of it. Some geniuses can always gain a lot after going through hardships and defeating powerful enemies."
"Before, when she was in Sequence 4, she defeated the black bear in Sequence 5. This is not something ordinary people can do."
"Uh..." Regarding this, the captain could only remain silent, thinking to himself.
Why such a beautiful girl is so powerful, what a pity, these things flashed through my mind, and then I came back to my senses in the report of my subordinates.
"My lord, this house has been checked, and nothing special has been found." The guards searched for some oil and water, and then came back to report with satisfaction.
"Well, let's go to the next one." After taking the bag containing the coins, he shook it slightly. Hearing this pleasant voice, he felt a little happier again.
After that, these guards searched from house to house, saying that they were looking for things and suspicious people, but they also used this to extort money and gained a lot of benefits. Perhaps this is why they took it so seriously.
"My lord, isn't this kind of behavior a bit inappropriate?"
On the bell tower of the small town, two officers dressed in black stood, one of them was obviously older and had a higher position.
"It's nothing. You just graduated from the Royal Academy. You are not familiar with these things now, but you will gradually get used to them in the future." The experienced officer moved his eyes slightly and replied slowly.
"Soldiers are not saints. If you want them to be obedient, you have to give them some benefits, no matter where the benefits come from."
"However, we are the investigators of the empire, yes..." The young officer beside him was a little shaken.
"Yes, that's right, we are the eyes and sharp sword of the emperor, and we specialize in eliminating pests in the empire." The old man smiled at the puzzlement of the newcomer beside him, and then waved his hands.
"This is what you want to say."
"Yes, my lord."
"But, have you ever thought about what a pest is. Or, who are the pests of the empire, and who are the ones we want to protect?" The old man spoke again.
"Don't tell me that it's those who are paying the money." He pointed to the ordinary people who were knocked on the door in the night and asked the soldiers to check.
"Uh, isn't it? These are the people of the empire, and they didn't do anything wrong." The young officer looked at a mother who had just walked out of the courtyard, and she was still holding the child in her hands.
"No no no." The old man shook his head.
"They're just crops, or wheat in the field."
"Do you know what wheat is? Yes, they are food, firewood, and important things."
"And these guards are the people who help us harvest the wheat. They are our allies and our own people. You have to understand the difference."
"When the emperor has an order, who will lead the order to carry it out; ?”
"It is these nobles who are finally royal, these families who made oaths and covenants in ancient times. And they are the backbone and support of the empire."
"The people are ignorant, greedy, and ruthless. Don't look at their obedient cooperation now. If you don't have a long sword and armor in your hand, they won't give you a penny."
"If there are no guards guarding them, they will break into your house and steal your things. If you don't give them punishment and a lesson, these people dare to disobey any order."
"Do you think that if you treat them well, they will remember you and thank you? No, they will complain even more. Why don't you give more. Everyone has given, but why don't you give me here."
"They will betray for a little profit, break their oaths and agreements, and hide everywhere, just because he once asked you to borrow money."
"If one day he pays back the money, he will be laughed at by the people around him, isn't he a fool?"
"So I said, these civilians are crops in the field. You have to take good care of them and trim them frequently so that they will remain normal. Otherwise, they will be messy."
"As for those pests, they just don't grow good crops. Not only do they have different intentions, but they also encourage other people to be like them. If these people are allowed to expand, it will be like locusts crossing the border, and you will have no harvest." This experienced manager The investigators judged those revolutionaries.
"Although Viscount Moruo lost important things this time, we just took this opportunity to search from house to house to clean up those hidden pests."
"Now, do you understand?"
"Yes, my lord, the subordinate understands." Regarding this, the confusion in the young officer's eyes dissipated, and turned into firmness and indifference.
They are soldiers loyal to the Emperor and will surely maintain the unity and greatness of the Empire.
