This isn't a souls-like game at all.

Including Virgil and these three people, plus the tied-up 16-year-old boy Brenda, there were four people in total.

Taking them back to the pioneer town immediately caused an uproar.

Soon, an Eagle Claw Knight who claimed to be the town steward arrived.

This was a middle-aged man with a square face and a beard. He looked at Ye Yiyi who was carrying two giants on his back, and then looked at the dejected and disabled guys behind him, with a somewhat puzzling expression.

"Where did you catch them?" the square-faced knight asked in a not very polite tone.

"You can ask them." Ye Yiyi answered calmly.

He had already emptied out the upper-level workshop of Wang Jiang, so it didn't matter even if it was exposed.

As for the lower level, it’s not that he looks down on these Eagle Knights, but with those remaining Emperor Scorpions there, they simply can’t go down.

Hearing Ye Yiyi's answer, the square-faced knight immediately looked at Alan.

"Are you the horse thieves?"

"Master Knight! We didn't steal horses! We are honest citizens!"

Under Ye Yiyi's strange gaze, Alan covered his left hand with blood flowing out of the gauze and cried out with tears in his eyes.

"We are civilians from Huayuan Village. We were sleeping peacefully at home, but who knew that this guy in black would sneak into the village with his men, claiming he had caught a thief. He then kidnapped us and brought us here!

"We tried to resist, but he cut off our fingers and shot us with a crossbow. We really don't know what horse is. Sir Knight, please help us!"

The square-faced knight frowned and nodded thoughtfully, then looked at the others.

"what about you?"

"My Lord Knight, what Alan said is true!" The guy whose arm was broken by him sobbed and complained bitterly.

"Look at my arms! I just put up a little resistance and he beat me like this! I won't be able to even lift a shovel anymore. How am I going to support my family?"

Then Alan pulled the 16-year-old boy Brenda over and said tearfully:

"Look, sir, even this young boy who is less than 20 years old was tied up by him.

"He's so skinny, he can't even breathe after running a few steps. How could he possibly have the strength to steal a horse?!"

Brenda, a 16-year-old boy, was so frightened that he didn't know what to say. After being pinched several times by Alan, he finally came to his senses and begged with tears in his eyes.

"Yes, yes, Sir Knight, you must make the decision for the people of Garden Village!"

Ye Yiyi looked at this scene, completely stunned.

How dare these guys?

Whether this is true or not, I will take this group of knights to the ancient ruins to see for ourselves. By then, the evidence will be conclusive and the crime will be even more serious. Do you still dare to lie to my face?

But who knew that the square-faced knight said nothing. After checking the injuries of everyone, he gave orders to the soldiers around him who looked skeptical with a gloomy face.

"Capture this mercenary who is taking credit for his crimes!!"

“???” Ye Yiyi’s eyes widened.

No, you really believe it?!

Seeing the knight's order, the Duchy soldiers immediately approached with guns, trying to capture Ye Yiyi.

"Wait a minute!!"

Ye Yiyi took out two giant swords and stood in front of him, driving the soldiers away!

Then he frowned and looked at the Eagle Claw Knight and said:

"You believed their lies based on just one side of the story? What if I had evidence to prove they stole the horse?"

"Evidence?" The square-faced Eagle Claw Knight frowned and said with a gloomy expression.

"What more evidence do you need? You are a strong and well-equipped mercenary, and they are just a group of civilians. How could they possibly break through the defenses of the Duchy soldiers and penetrate into the barracks to steal horses?"

"I have evidence that they stole the horses!" Ye Yiyi argued. "If you don't believe me, just come with me and see for yourself!"

"You can't go! Sir Knight!!"

Alan suddenly pleaded, "Sir, this guy has accomplices outside of town, all riding fine horses. You can't go!"

"Does everyone ride a good horse?"

The Eagle Claw Knight reacted and quickly asked, "Is that horse covered in a black cloth with an eagle painted on it?"

"How did you know that, sir?" Alan asked in surprise. "Not only that, I even saw feathers stuck in the horses' heads!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers became excited.

"That's right! That's the horse of the Eagle Claw Knights!"

"Why are they riding our horses?! Maybe these mercenaries are part of a group of horse thieves!"

"Damn it! You stole our horse! And now you dare to come back! You are such a damn thief!"

The Eagle Claw Knight stretched out his hand to calm the angry soldiers, then looked at Ye Yiyi who remained silent, and said righteously:

"What else do you have to say now! Even if they are really horse thieves and are making up lies, first of all, please lay down your weapons and surrender!

"Once we find out the truth, we will naturally give you justice!"

"Drop your weapons!" the soldiers roared in unison.

Not far away, people who came out of the tavern after hearing the noise gathered together to watch, and then talked about Ye Yiyi.

“I didn’t realize he was the horse thief?!”

“It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance!”

"I knew he was something special, but I didn't know it was this special!"

The boss who had once hosted Ye Yiyi was also among them.

"He's the horse thief?" The boss looked over, his face extremely confused. "How could it be? From my ability to judge people, it doesn't look like him."

“Drop your weapons!!!”

Seeing Ye Yiyi remained silent, the soldiers roared again!

"Hmph! You're so stubborn!" The square-faced Eagle Claw Knight raised his hand.

"Federico is dead."

Ye Yiyi suddenly raised his head and looked straight into the eyes of the square-faced Eagle Claw Knight and said.

"Federico, he's dead!"

"what?"

The Eagle Claw Knight's eyes narrowed and his expression changed. Then he seemed to react and quickly showed a confused look.

"Federico? What is Federico? Who is he?"

Ye Yiyi, who was staring at the Eagle Claw Knight's expression, finally smiled at this moment.

"I think I understand."

Ye Yiyi said softly with a smile.

"I was wondering how Federico could have stolen so many horses at once, twice in a row... He gave you some of that white liquid, right?"

Alan's originally proud and relieved expression suddenly froze.

Except for the 16-year-old boy who looked confused, all the people captured by Ye Yiyi were in the same situation.

The Eagle Claw Knight's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"I don't understand! I have no idea what you're talking about!

"You are such an audacious thief! Not only did you steal our horses, but you even dared to talk nonsense here! I think you really don't want to live anymore!!"

"Why, you just said you wanted to give me justice, but now you've already determined that I'm the thief?"

Ye Yiyi raised his eyebrows and looked at the knight, then looked at the soldiers.

"It's such a simple matter, I can figure it out with just a little thought. I left the capital this morning and arrived here in the evening. How could I possibly be a horse thief?

"Besides, my horse was stolen, and I went to catch the thief voluntarily. I didn't ask you for any reward. Now I'm staging this to deceive you. What's the purpose?"

"This... seems to make some sense."

"It seems so. Did we ask him to catch a thief?"

"Besides, he's such a conspicuous person. I stand guard every day, and it seems like this is the first time I've seen him."

The soldiers discussed the matter, their anger gradually subsided, and their intelligence regained the high ground.

At the same time, another Eagle Claw Knight showed a look of sudden realization, and came up to the square-faced knight and said something.

"That seems to be the reason. Wouldn't it be a bit arbitrary to just arrest him?"

The square-faced knight had a gloomy expression. He didn't answer but glanced at Alan.

Alan frowned, as if he didn't know how to frame someone. He looked down at his left hand wrapped in gauze, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Sir Knight! Sir Knight! I suddenly remembered something!"

He spoke quickly, attracting everyone's attention.

"You say." said the square-faced knight.

"I accidentally noticed on the way here that this person's face seemed to change suddenly, as if he had transformed from one person into another!"

"You mean disguise?" The square-faced knight looked puzzled.

"I don't know, but I saw his ring light up at that moment."

"Could it be a magic item that can change one's appearance?" an Eagle Claw Knight asked thoughtfully.

"I don't know, but I'll know once I verify it."

The square-faced man said, then looked at Ye Yiyi's left hand, where she was wearing several rings.

"Don't you want to prove your innocence? It's simple. Hand over the ring on your hand and let us examine it on the spot!

"If it's true as he said, that you have a magic ring that can change your appearance, then everything you said before was nothing but a lie!

"Hand over the ring!"

The square-faced knight shouted,

"If you don't dare, then you have something to hide! If you have something to hide, then you are a horse thief!!"

"Hehehe..."

Ye Yiyi looked down at the mask magic ring between his fingers and suddenly smiled.

"I made a mistake..." he said.

"What! You're going to admit your guilt!!" The square-faced knight sneered, "Then surrender!"

"My mistake was that I shouldn't have reasoned with you from the beginning."

He slowly raised the two giants in his hands and gave Alan a bloody smile, whose face showed a hint of fear.

"I'm going to chop off your head and feed it to the scorpions!"

Chapter 139 The truth is not important, what matters is to get rid of anger

Not to mention the terrified Alan and his accomplices, the square-faced knight was extremely furious when he saw this scene.

"How dare you go against the Principality of Rit?!"

He drew his long sword from his waist, swung it forward heavily, and shouted angrily:

"Go! Capture this thief!"

Seeing that the soldiers no longer hesitated and came forward with guns raised, Ye Yiyi's eyes turned cold and he raised the two giants in his hands to the sky.

Combat Skill: Wind Wing Protection!

The huge wings suddenly opened, and a violent whirlwind blew around, forcing the soldiers to retreat.

"What? What kind of fighting technique is this?!"

The square-faced Eagle Claw Knight widened his eyes with a look of shock.

"How can a mere mercenary possess such powerful fighting skills!"
