"Fenr, what do you want from me?"
"Sir, please save us."
Fen'er suddenly knelt down and asked Fei Xin for help.
Fei Xin didn't understand what was going on and wanted to help Fen'er up.
Fen'er took advantage of the situation and grabbed Feixin's arm, holding on tightly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Don't be anxious. Take your time and explain the situation first. If I can help, I will."
"it is good……"
Only then did Fenr tell the reason why he came here.
"Bandits are plundering Shihuo Town again. This time, they are different from those bandits who only steal money and food. They stayed in the town and asked us about the whereabouts of our adventurer, but we really don't know where she is."
Fen'er said desperately: "I ran out quietly and found this place according to the clues you left. I hope you can help us get through this difficult time."
Several months have passed since Shihuo Town resolved the bandit crisis. Although many young and middle-aged people in the town have been killed, other towns dare not rob the mines because of the reputation of "Luo Xiweiya".
There were some tentative moves at first, but after the people sent by Roshivia took over the share of the ore and solved some of their problems, these attempts disappeared without a trace.
Afterwards, Fei Xin found a suitable job for Noita and planned to share it with Noita when the ore was handed over in Shihuo Town. However, it was not Noita who came, and she learned from them that Noita had outsourced the protection and takeover of the ore to them.
This left Fei Xin speechless for a long time.
Although she didn't meet Noita, Fei Xin still left her contact information, saying that if she met Noita, she would tell her about her arrival, and if she was interested in the guard job at Serkar, she could introduce her.
This is how Fenr was able to find Silver Peak's lair.
Fei Xin asked, "Where are the people that Wei Ya outsourced to protect you?"
"They're dead."
"All dead?"
Fei Xin was shocked.
"Yes, yes. The bandits used the way we communicated with them to lure people over here, and they only sent one person to kill them all."
trap.
Fei Xin immediately realized that this was unusual.
This protection team consisted of over a dozen people, including two first-tier professionals who had fought in less intense battles and possessed combat experience. To be able to kill them all by himself meant he must have been immersed in the first tier for a long time, perhaps even a second-tier professional.
After a brief thought, Fei Xin's gaze towards Fen'er became sharp.
"How did you get out? How many bandits are there?"
Fen'er was stung by the gaze and shrank his neck. "I found a gap in the guards and slipped out. It was night time, so they didn't notice me. As for the number of bandits, there were probably dozens of them."
Fen'er said it simply, but Fei Xin pondered for a long time.
To be on the safe side, she asked Fenr to stay at the base and prepared to go find Noita.
She had just talked to Weiya. It would be dangerous if a tail followed Fenel.
Fei Xin moved quickly, but it was still too late.
Before she could leave, a patrol of the Zealous Guards escorted a girl with blood-stained robes into the house. Even though the girl had rune stone shackles on her hands and her power was sealed, the patrol still looked nervous, fearing that the girl would suddenly attack and hurt others.
There were team members behind carrying several bodies.
"Viya?"
Fei Xin slapped her head and felt that something was wrong. Judging from the time her colleagues came back, they would be back around the same time.
What can happen in such a short time?
There was still a little blood on Noita's face. When she heard Fei Xin calling, she smiled brightly.
"Ah, I'm in trouble again."
Chapter 274 Hot Potato
"Name?"
"Loshivia."
"age?"
"21."
In the interrogation room, Noita curiously touched the stone table and stone chairs that had a suppressive effect on magic, and answered the guards' questions nonchalantly. When they arrived at the camp before, the Zealous Guards did not bring out these limiters, but unfortunately, their restrictive effect on her was almost nonexistent.
Although a transcendental psychic avatar resembled a real person, it was essentially a composite of psychic energy and magic. If it encountered a sufficiently strong suppressive force, it would be affected, causing abnormalities like frame skipping and flickering. Now that she felt no discomfort at all, it meant that she could break free from the rune shackles at any time and regain her freedom.
Compared to the tables and chairs in the interrogation room, it was the assassins' ability to offset psychic skills that really interested Noita.
The two interrogators were annoyed by Noita's leisurely look as if she had returned home. Since Fei Xin was watching through a one-way glass, they had to suppress their boredom and continue questioning without preparing the usual prison gift package for Noita.
"Luo Xiweiya, on February 11, 1505, within the safe zone designated by the Silver Peak Nest, you clashed with the deceased and brutally murdered them. Do you plead guilty?"
"It's true."
Noita snapped out of her distraction and defended herself, "But the professionals present can all attest that the deceased was the first to attack. I was only defending myself."
"What grudge do you have against the deceased?"
"I do not know."
The interrogator slammed the table. "Huh? I'm warning you, don't try to hide any clues. Only by confessing early can you be treated leniently!"
The harsh words were quite intimidating, and there was a special aura in the voice that could shake the prisoner's will. If the prisoner's will was weak, he would confess everything after being frightened. However, its actual deterrent was not as effective as the elderberry's blood-eating technique.
Noita said calmly, "I truly don't know who they are. Before the attack, I was traveling with Madam Feixin, and everything went smoothly. Madam Feixin can attest to that. Besides, if I wanted to escape, would I have come to you? This should be considered surrendering myself."
The interrogation came to a standstill for a while.
Outside, the camp director watched the interrogation through the one-way glass with an unhappy expression.
He was nearing middle age, his rough fingers groping for the edges of his armor, and there were a few dark red burn marks hidden in the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. At first glance, he looked like a serious and experienced man.
If the situation of Noita killing several people in public was not too serious, he would not be willing to appear here.
When the person in charge heard Noita say that Feixin was traveling with others, he asked Feixin, "Is this suspect your friend?"
Fei Xin was pondering the cause and effect of Noita's sudden mishap when she was suddenly questioned. She immediately replied, "Yes, she's roughly right. We walked around the commercial street for a long time before and didn't encounter any unusual incidents along the way."
"What is her identity?"
"Originally from Twin Lions Mountain, she fled to Dark Moon Land after offending a noble. She was the one who led the beheading of the small battle outside of Shihuo Town involving Hongrong."
The person in charge narrowed his eyes and said in surprise, "He's a volunteer. I heard that you were in charge of this matter before. Given your personality, you should have interrogated him at the time. Do you have any doubts?"
"Edmund let her go before she could be interrogated much."
"Edmund from the Wise Guard?"
"Who else but him?" Fei Xin said indignantly. If Edmund had not let Noita go on his own initiative, she should have been able to ask for more information, restore the cause of Hongrong's death and put it into the file.
Edmund was a close confidant of Elder Hengfeng, and this prisoner was connected to him, making it difficult to deal with. Overall, this was a hot potato. If, as she claimed, she was being assassinated and forced to retaliate, it wasn't impossible to show mercy.
The person in charge calmly thought about the intricacies of the situation and asked the people behind him, "Have the forensic findings come out? Did the "Talk with the Dead" spell reveal anything?"
One of them stepped forward and answered, "They refused to answer questions, and we didn't find any identifying documents on them. After contacting the association, we discovered they entered the Silver Peak Lair as temporarily registered adventurers. Furthermore, their class is strange, like a variant of the Wanderer, optimized for assassins."
"It's really troublesome, but the facts are clear now." The person in charge stared at Noita in distress. He seemed to be open and honest, as if he didn't feel he had committed any crime. Then he looked at Fei Xin and said, "Do you want to interrogate this friend? If you can find out something, that would be great. If not, we can detain him for a few days and then release him. Based on the testimony of other witnesses, it could be that someone else attacked first, and this was self-defense."
"Don't you want to avoid suspicion?"
"Your character is obvious to all, and I've noticed you've been distracted since just now. You must have been thinking about something related. I'll let you ask about it. Perhaps you can find a breakthrough."
So, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open, Fei Xin whispered a few words to the interrogator, and took his place.
Sitting in the interrogation seat, Fei Xin sighed: "Luo Xiweiya, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."
It had been less than half an hour since they last met.
Noita smiled brightly: "This is all because of these assassins. They attacked me for no apparent reason. If I didn't have some skills, I would have died on the spot."
Fei Xin nodded silently and said, "Next, I'll ask you questions and you'll answer them."
Noita vowed: "I will tell you everything I know."
"First question, do you still remember Shihuo Town?"
"That's where I met Hongrong. I can't forget her."
"The situation in Shihuo Town is very bad right now. It has been attacked by bandits again. Do you know about this?"
Noita's smile gradually disappeared, replaced by an almost peaceful and thoughtful look.
"I don't know, can you elaborate?"
"Just now, a young man from Shihuo Town came to me and said that a group of bandits had occupied the town. The most important thing is that they were aggressively demanding information about you. These bandits came prepared, just to force you to reveal your information." Fei Xin speculated, "You were attacked after the messenger from Shihuo Town arrived. There must be a connection between the two."
There is indeed a connection.
Through investigating Serkar's archives, Renahu learned that Noita had appeared in Shihuo Town, so he sent people to look for clues about her. He then deliberately released a person who had come to ask for help before. Renahu's killer followed this person to find him.
The clues formed a logical chain in Noita's mind, but she still had one question: "How did the people from Shihuo Town find this place?"
"I once wanted to see you for something, but you weren't here at the time, so I left them my contact address."
Oh it's you.
Noita's gaze suddenly became subtle.
This assassination would not have happened so early, but Fei Xin's presence accelerated the process.
But it doesn't matter. I will face Lena Hu sooner or later. It's just a matter of time. It's not a bad thing to let him lock on to my position now.
Everything is going as planned.
It was one thing to just do what she wanted, but she still had to pretend that Fei Xin had caused her trouble.
Thinking of this, Noita immediately stared at Fei Xin with a complaining look, causing her to purse her lips.
"Feixin, you've caused me quite a bit of trouble." Noita said helplessly, "Can you please let me see the messenger so I can confirm the situation?"
Fei Xin hesitated. Logically, Noita was not allowed to enter and leave the interrogation room at will.
Suddenly, her ears moved and the voice of the person in charge came into her ears.
"Yes."
There is a reason to throw this hot potato away.
Chapter 275 Sad
With permission, Noita left the interrogation room and came to Fenr who was still in the office.
The sleepy young man was exhausted after the sleepless long journey. When Noita arrived, he was drowsy, but was startled by Noita's arrival and woke up from all sleepiness. He had no idea why she was there.
"you……"
"I'm here to ask about Shihuo Town. Tell me everything that happened to you and how you want me to help you." Noita sat opposite him, his eyes scanning the young man's body, trying to read his thoughts.
Fenr told him the whole story of the crisis, and then he remembered more details.
For example, the enemy was equipped with sophisticated bows and crossbows, and their armor was very sophisticated, with even two or three knights in plate armor.
Upon hearing about the destruction of the protection team, Noita's eyelids twitched slightly. It seemed that this was the team arranged by Luo Xiweiya. And Fen'er's emotions and body language showed no sign of lying. He understood and perceived the situation as true.
Fenr pleaded, "I hope you can save Stonefire Town and save Uncle Chir."
"Don't worry. Since they came here because of me, I will rescue you. But are you sure there's nothing you've missed?"
Fenr thought carefully and finally said firmly: "No, sir."
Noita nodded, and psychic hormones were released from her fingertips, soothing Fen'er's tense mind and allowing him to fall into a peaceful dream.
Later, Noita got up and left, reuniting with Fei Xin who was waiting at the door.
Fei Xin asked, "Are you going?"
Noita opened her hands toward Jade Heart, and the runestone shackles that could suppress power rattled.
"I'm currently a suspect, and I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the camp." She looked at Fei Xin with dignity, "Why don't you go to Shihuo Town on my behalf? With your strength, you should be able to subdue the bandits. It's a pity that the guards won't make a big fuss over a small incident like a bandit attacking a town. Otherwise, I could have just written a letter asking for help, and the Wind Crow Guard would have dispatched."
The key points on the back should all be opened. If a divine weapon descends from the sky, it will be no more than this.
