When the first ray of sunlight hit Graycastle in the morning, the fire in Colin's bedroom had been extinguished.
Fortunately, most of the building materials in Greycastle are non-flammable rocks, otherwise the fire would not only burn this room.
In a messy room, Yimeng, the butler, stood with his hand in his hand, staring at the scorched corpse in front of him in a daze.
咚咚咚...
Amid the heavy footsteps, a tall figure appeared in the room.
"Imon, I have blocked the castle, and all entrances and exits in Graycastle have also been guarded, huh, I don't believe I can let the murderer run away this time!"
The man is three meters tall and strong like a black bear.
His whole body was wrapped in heavy armor, but he did not wear a helmet, revealing a big round bald head, with a face full of flesh, a vicious expression, and a huge battle ax with mottled blood in his hand, enough to hold Graycastle All the children in the town cried in fright.
"Thanks for your hard work, Knight Rego." Yimon didn't turn his head, his eyes still fixed on the charred corpse, but the focus was a little loose, as if he was thinking about something.
Lei Ge saw this, thinking that the old housekeeper was sad for the young master's death, and sighed: "Hey, let's arrange the young master's body and bury it when the master comes back."
Yimon did not respond.
Rego touched his big bald head, thinking that the old butler was blaming himself, he approached Yimen a few steps, and whispered: "Yimon, I didn't see the Carter Knight today, I doubt..."
Hearing Carter's name, Yimen's loose eyes condensed in an instant, and then turned to the servants who were still tidying up the house and said: "There is no need to clean up here, you go down."
"Yes."
After the servants left one after another, Yimon looked up at the tall Rego slightly and asked, "I remember, three years ago, you and Carter competed in the Cavaliers Championship held by the Earl of Uman three years ago?"
Rego was a little puzzled. He didn't understand why Yimon suddenly mentioned the previous Cavaliers Championship, but he still replied: "Is that three years ago? It seems to be. Hey, I beat him so badly that time!"
Yimeng smiled: "Yes, he was shot at the horse by you, broke his arm, and lost two teeth."
"Hey." Rego was a little embarrassed when he mentioned his brilliant record, but at the same time, he was also very confused, "What are you talking about now?"
Yimeng did not answer, but continued to ask: "Do you remember that the two teeth Carter lost were on the left or right?"
"How would I know this!" Rego was a little anxious, and Yimen's reaction made him very confused and dissatisfied.
Yimenn didn't care about Rego's attitude, but showed a mysterious smile, and pointed to the charred corpse on the ground: "If you can't remember, you can go and take a look for yourself now."
Lei Ge frowned, staring at Yimeng with Tongling's big eyes for a while, seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, finally squatted down and stretched out his hand to break the corpse's mouth.
"Crack!"
Yimeng watched the rugged Rego pull the corpse's chin completely off, and the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched.
Rego was also taken aback, and then hurriedly tried to reattach the fallen chin...
"Okay, don't do it, take a closer look at his teeth." Yimon looked at the clumsy Rego, really speechless.
"Oh, okay...hey! There really are two gaps in his lower left gum!" Rego turned his head back with glowing eyes and asked eagerly, "Did Carter lose the left tooth?"
Obviously, this reckless man also realized that there was something wrong with the corpse.
Unfortunately, Yimeng shook his head: "I don't know which two teeth Carter lost back then."
Lei Ge frowned, and as soon as he was about to speak, he heard Yimen slowly say: "However, I know Master Colin has never lost his teeth."
"That's right!" Lei Ge stood up abruptly and exclaimed excitedly.
But then, he seemed to realize that his voice was too loud, and quickly lowered the volume: "So, this corpse is not Master Colin at all, but the **** Carter!"
"No." Yimon smiled and shook his head, "Master has been killed by Carter. You must now take someone to catch this evil traitor."
"What?" Rego's eyes widened again, "Are you stupid?"
Yimeng sighed and explained patiently: "Think about it, why did the young master set the fire? Why didn't you say goodbye?"
Lei Ge touched his big round bald head and seemed to understand: "You mean, the young master deliberately scorched this corpse, just to make others think he is dead?"
"Yes."
"Why did the young master do this?"
"Maybe I want to see who is behind Carter? What is the purpose? It may also be to hide himself... In short, since the young master has his own plan, then what we can do is to cooperate with him and make this game. Go down."
"Okay, I see." Rego walked out with a sullen head, "I'm going to order that **** Carter to be arrested."
Yimeng watched Lei Ge's tall figure disappear outside the door, and silently added another sentence in his heart: "It may also be that the young master doesn't dare to trust us anymore..."

"Why would I not trust you?" Colin smiled and said to the old mercenary in front of him, "I mean, I will pay you half of the commission first, and the remaining half, and wait for you to introduce me to a trip to sink. I'll give it to you after the caravan in Eagle City."
"What if you refuse to pay the remaining money when I introduce you to the caravan?" The old mercenary is obviously not satisfied with this payment method of paying the deposit first and then the final payment.
"Do you think I am someone who lacks that little money?" Colin took out a gold coin and threw it up and down in his hand.
The old mercenary's eyes straightened instantly, his gaze closely following the gold coin moving up and down.
No way. For the bottom of society like him, copper coins are the daily currency, and silver coins are rare. As for gold coins, they are something that nobles and big merchants have.
"Then I want thirty copper coins!" The old mercenary realized that there was a fat sheep in front of him, and immediately began to increase the price.
"Twenty. I'll find someone else if I have more."
"Deal!" The old mercenary happily caught the ten copper coins thrown by Colin, UU reading www. uukanshu.com began to lead the way.
After a while, the two came to the west side of Graycastle Town and walked into an old tavern.
"The Beard Tavern."
After entering the door, Colin found that the name of this pub was indeed worthy of its name. The people drinking in it were almost all bearded at first glance.
The old mercenary is obviously very familiar with this place, and while greeting everyone, he walks in with Colin.
The two came to a long table in the corner of the tavern. The old mercenary bowed his waist and muttered in the ear of a bearded man sitting on the main seat.
The big beard glanced at Colin along the direction of the old mercenary's fingers, then waved his hand and motioned for Colin to pass.
"This is the commander of the Firefox Mercenary Corps-Lord Saru. Lord Saru is a Tier 2 fighter, who happens to be heading to Fallen Eagle City. You must follow their team without fail!" The old mercenary first talked to Colin. Introduce the big beard.
Then he turned to the beard again, his attitude was obviously more attentive: "Master Saru, this is my nephew, don't you think he is not strong, but his martial arts are quite good..."
"Is he your nephew?" Saru snorted and interrupted the old mercenary.
"Yes...Yes!" The old mercenary suffocated slightly, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
Then he quickly explained: "Don't look at him who doesn't look like me. The main reason is that this kid's appearance follows my brother-in-law, and after all these years, I've been running around outside. This old face is long gone. You know, when I was young, I was also handsome and good-natured..."
Saru sneered and interrupted the old mercenary again: "Your nephew is a knight?"
Hearing the word knight, the old mercenary seemed to be pinched by someone suddenly, and the bragging words immediately choked in his throat.
Colin's pupils shrank instantly.
