Everyone's become an adventurer, so who's going to put in the effort themselves?

"He killed his own sister's son, why would he care about disgracing his sister?"

"What did you say?" Cohen turned around abruptly to look at Lynn, his face full of astonishment.

Ruth, who was being escorted nearby, immediately lowered her head upon hearing this, trembling and trembling, not daring to utter a sound for fear of being noticed by others.

Jacken, who was an accomplice, also changed his expression drastically.

He never expected that Lynn would reveal such a thing at this time, in front of the official members of the Knightworth family.

Upon realizing this, Jacken hurriedly explained:

"You're lying! I didn't kill Lynn at all!!"

After saying that, Jacken suddenly realized that what he said was inappropriate and quickly added:

"Lynn, how vicious you are! You actually tried to frame me for murder just to harm your uncle?"

Cohen, who had been taken aback, turned sharply to look at Lynn upon hearing this:

"Are you Lynn Knightworth?"

"How did you get so fat?"

Lynn, who was about to refute Jeken and give this guy a boost, was suddenly interrupted by Cohen's question.

What do you mean, "How did I get so fat?"

Am I overweight at 80 kilograms and 1.8 meters tall?

Lynn stared at Cohen speechlessly, her sullen little eyes making Cohen's expression strange.

"Ahem!" Cohen coughed, trying to justify himself, "The last time I saw you was five years ago. I was the one who assessed your bloodline concentration back then, do you remember?"

At this point, Lynn emphasized again, "Sorry, I'm not Lynn Knightworth, he's been killed by his uncle!"

Upon hearing this, Cohen couldn't help but take another look at Lynn's face. Although it had become much rounder, he could still see the shadow of Lynn Knightworth when he was thin.

But Lynn himself actually said that he had been killed by Jacken?

Thinking of this, Cohen couldn't help but turn his head and look at Jacken suspiciously, wondering what this guy had done to push Lynn to this point.

At that moment, noticing Cohen's suspicious gaze, Jacken's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly explained:

"You bullshit!"

"You're perfectly fine and alive here!!"

"Then prove it!"

Lynn then looked at Jacken with a smile, a smile like that of a cunning fox:

"Prove that I am Lynn Knightworth!"

Upon hearing this, Jacken's expression froze.

Chapter 18 Sir, you don't want your wife to suffer, do you?

At this moment, seeing Jacken's expression freeze, Lynn blurted out:

"You know, the Knightworth family members are all of red dragon blood. Do you think I have red dragon blood in me?"

Jacken did not answer; he simply remained silent.

Seeing his expression, Lynn frowned, but continued:

"Don't I know my own background?"

“I am just a refugee from outside Mona City. After I could no longer make a living, I came to the city to find work. Then, because I look like Lynn Knightworth, your family tricked me into coming here under the guise of hiring me, and I pretended to be your nephew to cover up the fact that you killed the real Lynn.”

Lynn recounted the experiences he had fabricated for himself, trying to make them conform to common sense.

For Lynn, as long as his identity as a person from another world was not exposed, everything else was a minor matter.

Lynn's argument had precedents in the various laws of Mona City that he had seen before.

Many noble territories not far from Mona City lack a household registration system, and due to chaotic management, people often smuggle themselves into Mona City to join the ranks of adventurers and earn a living.

While the city of Mona officially refuses to accept these refugees, they secretly condone such behavior.

After all, the residents of these villages are close to Mona City. Although they are governed by nobles, their living conditions are not bad. Backed by a big city and with the opportunity to make money through dungeon adventures, many families in these villages are actually quite wealthy, and have raised a number of powerful adventurers.

Faced with this group that possessed military power, the nobles dared not oppress them at will and could only acquiesce to the existence of this situation.

Given this premise, as long as Lynn verbally admits that he is just an ordinary villager who came to Mona City to make a fortune and aspires to become an adventurer, the risk is actually very small, as long as the authorities don't investigate too thoroughly.

At the very least, it's not more dangerous than being murdered by Jacken.

Therefore, after studying the various regulations of Mona City, Lynn decided to take advantage of the power of the Mona City government to deal with Jeken, or at least force him to reveal his weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

So Lynn decided to directly accuse Jacken of murder, using the simplest form of verbal abuse to force Jacken to reveal his true colors.

However, Lynn's words made Cohen Knightworth, who was standing next to him, frown.

In fact, Cohen could only say that he believed Lynn's account to a certain extent.

While the Knightworth family has its share of internal strife, it has never before escalated to the point of murder, let alone an uncle killing his nephew.

What's more, the uncle actually found someone to impersonate his nephew, creating the illusion that his nephew was still alive?

If Lynn is lying, then his fabrication is quite interesting. If the story didn't take place at the Knightworth family home, Cohen would be happy to watch the spectacle.

But given the current situation, Cohen is far from happy.

Meanwhile, Lynn continued speaking:

"Therefore, I am not Lynn Knightworth himself, and therefore I do not have the blood of the red dragon."

"I don't think this is difficult to find out?"

Upon hearing Lynn's words, Jack, who had been quite nervous, seemed to be reminded and gradually calmed down.

Lynn, who was standing very close to Jack and had been staring at him, was startled.

Does Jacken actually have a way to prove he is Lynn Knightworth?

This old man really had a backup plan?

Lynn was startled, but not too panicked. Instead, he waited for the next key figure he had prepared to arrive.

He refused to believe that Jacken could really keep the whole truth hidden.

If he could actually do that, Lynn would immediately run away, hide in the Adventurers' Guild, and avoid Jeken whenever he saw him in the future.

After all, it's better to live a miserable life than to die, and Lynn was quite willing to back down when faced with mortal danger.

“Cohen, since Lynn is so shameless, even abandoning his family name, to falsely accuse me here, then you should test his bloodline concentration.”

Jacken took a deep breath, as if trying to calm himself and hide the sadness of being falsely accused by his nephew:

"The Red Dragon bloodline will prove who is the liar!"

Upon hearing this, Lynn's eyelids twitched. Could it be that he possessed the red dragon bloodline of the Knightworth family?

But that's impossible!

He was clearly transported to another world in his true form!!

At this moment, seeing the two tribesmen quarrel to this extent, Cohen also began to have doubts:

"Since you emphasize it so much, let's test it out."

To be honest, Cohen also wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

It's truly shameful for the Knightworth family to have such a scandal—a nephew accusing his uncle of murder—at the very gate of the military police headquarters.

Even if it was too late and few citizens saw it, he didn't need to think that this kind of news would definitely spread like wildfire in the military police headquarters.

At that time, the Knightworth family will probably have a good showing in the military police!

How can these two fellow clansmen not care about the family's reputation at all?

"I have the equipment for testing blood vessels in my office."

"But before that, I must remind you that if it's just a misunderstanding, you'd better stop here."

"Otherwise, once the bloodline testing begins, the City Lord's Mansion will definitely intervene, and then an apology won't be of any use."

As Cohen said this, he looked at Lynn and Jacken with a warning in his eyes.

Lynn, in particular, received a fierce glare from Cohen.

Cohen still doesn't believe that Lynn Knightworth was murdered.

The main problem is that this matter is too absurd; there is absolutely no precedent in the Knightworth family for an uncle killing his nephew.

Therefore, Cohen is inclined to believe that Lynn is indeed Lynn Knightworth, but due to some conflicts with Jacken, things have turned out the way they are now.

However, considering that Lynn's parents died young while exploring dungeons, and that he himself resisted dungeon adventures and gave up becoming an adventurer, living alone in the city, Cohen didn't blame him too much for bringing shame to the family. He simply reminded him:

"The use of the bloodline instrument requires an application to the City Lord's Mansion. I will definitely report your matter to the City Lord's Mansion at that time."

"If it turns out to be a misunderstanding, then it will be Mona's family who will give you a good talking-to!"

Upon hearing that Cohen was going to ask the Mona family for help, Ruth, who had been burying her head in the sand like an ostrich, dared not utter a sound.

When Jacken heard the name of the Mona family, his face turned ugly, and he looked very frustrated.

Lynn, on the other hand, seemed completely indifferent to it.

"You mean to notify Mona's family?"

"There's no need for that. I already notified them!"

Cohen, who had only intended to scare Lynn and make him stop, was immediately taken aback and stared at Lynn in disbelief.

"What did you say?"

Jacken, standing to the side, also stared wide-eyed.

At this moment, Cohen rushed to Lynn, grabbed his shoulder, and pressed him for an answer:

"What do you mean you've already notified the Mona family?"

"How did you get in touch with the Mona family?"

"Of course, through the adventurer advisor!"

Lynn's smile at this moment was full of malice:

"The murder of a member of the Nightworka family should of course be investigated by the Mona family, who symbolize justice."

“Perfect timing. My adventurer advisor happens to be a member of the Franger family and has the ability to contact a member of the Mona family.”

"In that case, it shouldn't be hard to understand why I'm asking her for help, right?"

"Adventurer's advisor? The Franger family?"

Upon hearing so much information, what did Cohen immediately connect it to?

"Is that Mira the Shining One? That hero-level adventurer who just retired?"

Cohen immediately realized who Lynn had reported the matter to, and his expression went blank on the spot, as if he had stepped on an electric shock. He said with a twisted face:

"That Mona family member that Mira can contact..."

"broken!!"

"It's that witch!!"

Just as Cohen blurted out the words, a girl's soft laughter rang out:

"Although it's not the first time I've heard it."

"But isn't it a bit too rude to call someone a witch behind their back?"

Hearing the sound, Lynn turned his head and immediately saw a figure stepping off the carriage at the bottom of the steps.

She was a girl adorned with pink and black.

She had short, pink, ear-length hair with inward curls, but her face was covered by a thin black veil, revealing only a pair of bright pink eyes that resembled the starry sky.

She wore a long black dress with intricate patterns, and with her small hands holding up the hem, she stepped down from the carriage with Mira's gentlemanly assistance from the steps that had been laid out.

After landing, the girl smiled at the group on the steps:
