Chapter 432： frame

When passing Liszt, the carriage slowed down slowly, probably to rest in front.

Liszt glanced at the driver and couldn't help being very surprised.

The other party also saw him.

"Cable, I didn't expect to meet you here."

The stopped driver shouted to him from afar, "Mr. Liszt, I didn't expect to meet you on the road."

Liszt rode to the carriage.

"What's the matter, do you have something important to do? Are you in such a hurry?"

"I... uh, my mother and I are planning to visit relatives in the Horn Bay League."

Cable's eyes wandered as he said this, and there was panic on his face.

Liszt, who has experienced countless business negotiations, can tell at a glance that he is lying.

But he didn't intend to expose it, "Great, we happened to be on the way. So, your mother has returned home safely, congratulations."

"Yes, Thanks."

Only then did Cable think of his mother in the carriage, he opened the door and helped an elderly woman inside.

"Mom, let's take a rest here first. Let me introduce you. This is a friend I met not long ago—Mr. Friedrich Liszt. He is Aldo."

"Well, Cable, you're really turning my guts out. Hello, Mr. Aldo."

Liszt bowed to the other party, "Hi, ma'am, it's a pleasure to meet you, congratulations on clearing up your grievances."

The old woman waved her hand: "Oh, what a shame, I just got out of the lion's mouth and entered the hyena's den again."

"Mother!" Cable yelled to stop him.

The old woman seemed to realize her slip of the tongue, and immediately kept silent.

"What happened, can you tell me?"

Although he didn't want to expose that Cable was lying just now, but if he pretended he didn't hear what the old woman said, it would show that he didn't care about this new friend at all, so he still asked.

"Hey, what should I say about this matter... I, I can't say it now, can I talk about it after the Horn Bay Alliance?"

Liszt nodded, "Well, Cable, I won't force my friends to do things I don't want to do. However, although we haven't known each other for a long time, if you have any difficulties, you can speak up, and I will do it within my ability help you within."

Cable said gratefully, "Thank you, my friend."

In this way, Liszt, accompanied by Cable and his mother, went to the Horn Bay League.

…

Cable still remembered the sheriff's cold, repulsive expression.

The other party sat in front of the large desk, and replied to him with that formulaic tone and vocabulary expressionlessly.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Cable, you have lost a good teacher, and His Majesty the King has lost a good subject. However, this does not change the facts."

Cable suppressed the anger in his heart, "What are the facts? I don't admit the so-called 'facts' at all, that's you..." He paused, "That's a shameful rumor fabricated by some people with ulterior motives. "

The magistrate still had a poker face, not caring about Cable's anger, and said flatly, "The fact is that your teacher—Viscount Degu Braal—died from a ruptured bladder."

"I don't accept that..." Cable interrupted the sheriff.

"Do you want me to explain more clearly? He was suffocated to death by urine!" The sheriff suddenly raised his voice, and regained the dominance of the conversation in a tone almost growling.

Cable retorted excitedly: "It's impossible, how could a living person be suffocated to death by urine! My teacher was a nobleman, His Majesty's royal astrologer, he couldn't have died in such an infamous way. "

"That's the way it is, and even the royal family has embraced it."

The sheriff seemed to spread his hands "helplessly", this move changed his poker face a bit.

"There must be a conspiracy!"

Cable chased after him, "Everyone knows that my teacher is an anti-war, and he has been using his influence in front of His Majesty the King to prevent the country from slipping into the abyss, so he was hated by those lunatics aloft, They cannot be ruled out…”

The sheriff's eyelids twitched, he pointed a finger at Cable, and speaking slightly faster:

"You can speak responsibly. What do you mean by high-ranking lunatics? Don't blame me for not reminding you, Mr. Cable, please remember your identity, a trainee astrologer who came from a commoner and has not yet graduated. After studying with the Viscount for a few years, you will be able to mix into the high-level circle of the kingdom and participate in the games of the big shots? Can you talk about conspiracy and justice? But in the eyes of some people, you are still An ant that can be trampled to death at will."

This seemed to be a slap in the face for Cable.

He stood there in a daze, with ups and downs on his face, including fear, anger, and shame.

Finally, he took a deep breath.

"Even so, I still insist on re-investigating the cause of my teacher's death. I know several alchemists, and I would like to ask them to check whether the teacher's body contains any poisonous substances. Viscount Degu Blar has no relatives, as His only student, I think I have the power."

The teacher's body is still in the morgue of the city guards, perhaps because of the teacher's death

Dear, this chapter is not finished, there is another page^0^Because of the huge doubts, or maybe the sheriff's almost humiliating description of him, he still made up his mind.

"Okay! I agree to your request."

The sheriff sighed, "However, young man, don't blame me for not reminding you, a moment of anger and immature impulse will destroy you."

Afterwards, Cable went home to think hard about the alchemist who would help him launch an independent investigation.

After he made up his mind, he was about to go out again, but he found a small note falling out of the crack in the door.

There was only one short line on it, "Leave Collins at once!" written in red ink.

The few words poured over him like a basin of cold water, and a huge sense of crisis enveloped his whole body.

In fact, after leaving the sheriff's place, he regretted his impulse a little bit.

There is also an old mother who has just been released at home, so even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about her.

This time, Cable didn't hesitate at all, and immediately packed up the necessary luggage and belongings, and drove her out of the city in a carriage under the puzzled eyes of his mother.

Then there was the scene of meeting Liszt on the road.

…

After a long journey, Liszt and Cable finally arrived within the sphere of influence of the Horn Bay Alliance.

Liszt was visibly relieved when he sent Cable down.

"My friend, can you tell me now what happened?"

"Well, Mr. Lister, I confess to you."

Cable told his short-time friend what had happened in Collins.

He felt a little ashamedBecause before leaving Collins, he was really afraid that Liszt would go back to Collins immediately after hearing what had happened to him and reveal his whereabouts to someone.

After all, we have only known each other for a few days, who knows if he will do this?

"That's why, don't feel ashamed, my friend, if it were me, I would be so vigilant, even if not for myself, but also for the loved ones around me."

Liszt comforted him so much. "Once again, my sympathies go out to your mentor."

After entering the area controlled by the Horn Bay Alliance, the two hurried to Niceburg.

With Lister's help, Cable and his mother temporarily settled down.

Within a few days, their adventurers and merchants heard the news from Collins.

The court astrologer of Collins was murdered by his student, who had committed such a terrible crime by coveting his master's years of star-gazing records and failing to obtain them.

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
