The Last Alchemist

Chapter 127 Let me send you on your way (44)

After nearly half a month of fermentation, the assassination of the Countess has reached the point where everyone in Nerogard is aware of it.

To ordinary people, this matter may just be a topic of discussion after dinner, but to the nobles and wealthy businessmen living in Nerogard City, this matter is related to their vital interests.

Nerogard has always been known for its safety and order. Now, a well-known countess has lost her life because of a small wand. What is even more annoying is that although the city hall has offered a reward of 5,000 gold dragon coins, it has not been revealed recently. Half a month has passed, and the case has still not been solved!

This means that Nerogard is no longer safe. Most of the nobles and wealthy businessmen in the city have quietly increased the number of guards in their mansions.

In this situation where everyone is in danger, the murderer of the Countess has become a thorn in the side of all the superiors, and everyone wants to get rid of him quickly.

It is precisely because of this that Master Petain became furious when he knew that Magician Brown might be the murderer. Because Brown's actions simply put the Pétain family on the fire.

Soon, the group of people arrived in front of the big bed in Magic Brown's bedroom again.

"Doctor Pasteur, where exactly is the moon wand?" asked Master Pétain.

Rosen pointed to the cabinet on the right side of the bed: "The cabinet is on the bottom floor. Open it. There is a secret compartment on the side. Just pull out the wooden board."

The guard captain Fellman immediately stepped forward and opened the cabinet according to Rosen's instructions. Half a minute later, he pushed open the hidden wooden board and heard a "clunk" sound, and a gorgeous wand fell into the drawer.

This wand is made of ebony, with intricate gold and silver lines engraved on its surface. The head of the wand is carved into a delicate receptacle, and on top of the receptacle is a milky white crystal.

The moment the wand appeared, everyone present gasped.

"Magic Brown, OK! OK! OK!" Master Petain gritted his teeth angrily. He never thought that the magician sent by his aunt to protect him would actually be a murderer!

The thought of living with a murderer all day long made him feel cold all over.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it." Fellman looked in disbelief. He had been patrolling around the city these days. Deep down, he also had the idea of ​​​​finding the murderer and getting a bounty, but he also knew that this chance was very slim. , almost impossible. Who would have thought that the murderer of this murder that shocked the whole city would be hidden in the Blackthorn Villa of Marquis Pétain.

"Why did this magician want to kill Miss Adele?"

"No matter what, this magician is finished."

The guards were also talking a lot.

Rosen stepped forward and took the wand from Fellman. He held the handle of the wand tightly and exerted a slight force, and the milky-white crystal on the head of the wand emitted a bright milky-white light.

He nodded and said to Petain: "This wand is indeed exactly the same as the legend. It should be the moon wand."

Pétain took a deep breath and said to Fellman: "Captain Fellman, I have no idea about this matter. In fact, I have been seriously ill recently and feel dizzy every day. I didn't expect at all that the people around me How could someone do such evil things behind my back?"

Rosen opened his mouth to testify for Petain: "Captain Fellman, Master Petain is telling the truth. In fact, I am the doctor who came here to treat him."

Fellman was born a commoner and had no background, so he naturally did not want to offend the Pétain family. Now that Master Pétain is clearly distancing himself from his relationship, and the wand was indeed found in the magician's room, he will naturally understand the situation.

"Master Petain, this is not your fault."

Master Petain had a look of hatred on his face and continued: "This magician's name is Brown. He has a very arrogant personality, even towards me. Normally, forget it, but this time, since he committed such a big crime, I also There is nothing to say. Captain Fellman, he is at your disposal. His life and death have nothing to do with my Pétain family!"

Fellman nodded quickly and was about to speak when suddenly a gloomy sneer came from outside the door: "Master Petain, it doesn't matter what you say!"

Everyone turned their heads together and saw a middle-aged man wearing a sky blue robe appearing at the door of the bedroom. He had a cold expression and gloomy eyes. There was a white airflow spinning rapidly around his body. When the airflow told to circulate, it roared like a hurricane. The sound is terrifying just listening to it.

"Ah, it's the magician!"

The expressions of the patrolling guards changed greatly, and the guard captain Fellman was not much better. Although he did not retreat, his face was pale. Although his hand was subconsciously holding the hilt of the sword, his arm could not help shaking.

Master Petain's face was also blue, partly because of anger, but the main reason was fear. He has never seen Brown like this before, let alone what this guy is planning to do?

Rosen took a step forward calmly, holding the handle of the meat grinder musket tightly with his right hand. His left hand quietly reached into his bag and held a metal plate in the bag.

Brown blocked the door of the bedroom and looked at Pétain coldly: "I wasted four months for you, a loser. Now that something small has happened, you have so decisively distanced yourself. It is really a noble thing to do." group."

Master Petain gritted his teeth and said: "A trivial matter? Assassinating the Countess is actually a trivial matter? Then tell me what is a big matter?"

Brown's expression became colder and colder: "With just a magic wand, you concluded that I killed the person? Why don't you suspect the monster hiding in my room? Couldn't it be that it framed me?"

"You" Petain was speechless. He subconsciously turned to look at Rosen.

Rosen took half a step forward, his face as indifferent as ever: "Judging from the traces I found, this monster hid in the Blackthorn Villa more than three months ago. And in these more than three months, this is not the first time it has arrived. Your room. As a magician, could you please explain why you haven’t noticed anything unusual for three months? Or have you always known about the existence of monsters?”

Brown looked at Rosen, narrowed his eyes, and asked without answering: "Doctor Pasteur, weren't you treating Master Pétain? How did you get to my room?"

Pétain took the initiative to explain to Rosen: "Because Dr. Pasteur felt that there was an evil force in the villa, he searched all the way, and unexpectedly found the terrible devil in your room. By the way, he also found this blood-stained rod." Magic wand!”

"Evil power? Devil? Haha, ridiculous." Brown stared at Rosen: "Ordinary people have no way to deal with the powerful shadow demon, and you not only defeated it, but also made it seriously injured and escaped Doctor Pasteur, you are afraid Not a doctor, but a monster hunter, right?"

Rosen's eyes were fixed on Brown's right hand. He noticed that the ruby ​​​​on the ring worn on the middle finger of his right hand had a faint light. He knew that this ring was Pasteur's magic weapon, and the glowing ruby ​​​​meant that this guy might release amazingly powerful attack magic at any time.

Brown continued to question.

"Doctor Pasteur, why don't you speak?"

"You guy, you use fake medicine to treat diseases, you defraud a huge amount of gold dragon coins from this idiot Pétain, and you even plan to offer a reward. You are really greedier than the devil!"

"And Master Pétain! I have never seen a fool like you. You were deceived and deceived. Not only did you spend all your money, but you also treated people as saviors. You may not know, this Pasteur has no idea at all. I can’t cure your disease!”

Brown became more and more excited as he spoke, but his face became more and more gloomy.

There was a trace of doubt in Petain's mind, and he looked at Rosen: "Doctor Pasteur, why did he say that?"

Rosen's face was expressionless, and his voice was hoarse and low as usual: "A person who is about to drown will always drag the people around him into the water at all costs."

Petain was infected by Rosen's calmness. He thought about how he had desperately protected himself behind him when he was dealing with the devil just now, and he strengthened his judgment in his heart: "Brown, no need to say more, just plead guilty!"

When speaking, Petain looked firm, without a trace of hesitation between his brows.

Brown was stunned for a moment and sighed: "I know that with the Moon Wand as evidence of guilt, no matter what I say today, you won't believe me, right?"

Fairman said cautiously: "Your Majesty the Magician, we are just guards and do not have the power to convict you. Only the judge in the city hall can convict you. However, we did find the wand from you, and you are indeed the most suspect. So we have to take you back for further investigation."

"Ha, I'm going back with you to investigate? You guys are so eager to close the case early. If I go back with you, I will definitely be the scapegoat!" Brown sneered repeatedly.

Fellman held on and said: "If you refuse to do this, you will indirectly admit that you killed Countess Adele. We will have to use force against you!"

"Force? Just a few of you losers?" Brown laughed.

Fellman's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and continued to hold on: "Even if we are not your opponent, you will be wanted by the city guard of Nilogard. With a huge reward of 5,000 gold dragon coins, there will be countless bounty hunters chasing you. Kill you until your head is brought back to Nerogard."

"Haha, really?" Brown said with a gloomy look on his face: "Soldier, you are right, but I have a better solution here."

"Brown, what do you want to do?!" Petain felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he smelled an ominous atmosphere.

There was a hideous smile on Brown's face: "I want to kill you all and then blame the monster. As for me, I went through all kinds of hardships, severely injured the monster, and even snatched the Moon Wand back from the monster. I thought, I will be Nerogard's hero."

Petain was horrified: "How dare you! My aunt won't believe you!"

"Your aunt? Your aunt has been on fire recently. She is busy putting out fires everywhere, but she has no time to pay attention to you, a dying waste. You die one day sooner or one day later. She doesn't care at all! Okay, let's not talk nonsense. , everyone, let me send you on your way."
