Chapter 24, The Sofa Tibetan Case!

In this world, equipment is divided into five levels, namely Common, Rare, Epic, Dynasty Saint Artifact, Void Realm Divine Item.

Among them, the first three levels can be made by mortals, the dynasty Saint Artifact must rely on the power of the gods, and the Void Realm Divine Item is the most special, this kind of equipment has only three sources, one is the Void Realm ruins. The major discovery, the second is the very rare reward after triggering the task of Void Realm True God, the third is casting by a Holy Throne Supreme, a Holy Throne Supreme can only cast one Void Realm Divine Item in his life, and only if he wants to. There is excess strength and energy.

Rizlan is a famous producer of rare equipment, the Dwarf Grinham Mountains and the Light Elf Magic Forge are both famous Epic Grade equipment producers.

Sid’s previous equipment was all rare equipment, made by Old Ma’s blacksmith workshop. Apart from this, Sid has only seen Epic Grade equipment at aristocratic banquets. Epic Grade equipment often already means Crafted by treasure-making masters, they are usually unique and unmatched, made by wealthy clients, not only for their magic power, but also for their beauty.

His current problem is that he has temporarily obtained a Void Realm Divine Item. Sid, who has never been in contact with this item before, has no idea what taboos he has on how to use it.

Lifting the chalice of sinister nightmares, lightly shaking the thick, cloudy, bubbling slurry inside the cup, Sid tried to pour out a bit of it, but stopped immediately.

Don’t try it now, try it later when you get a chance.

Out of the study, Sid saw the elder sister who was dozing on the sofa. Even if she fell asleep, the elder sister still showed her amazing charm. The picturesque atmosphere made the original simple and unpretentious. The living room has become like a palace, the slender and well-proportioned calves under the hip-covered uniform skirt are wrapped in as thin as cicada wing stockings, and the fleshy silk feet in the brown velvet pantyhose are slightly curled up. The pointed, reinforced style covers the elder sister’s unpainted toes in a haze.

Sid couldn’t help staring at the place for more than ten seconds before turning his gaze to the elder sister’s white and tender face.

Elustias has the habit of taking naps and is usually defenseless against Sid. She slept soundly.

The white-haired beauty subconsciously wanted to move towards elder sister extend the hand, but yanked back before touching her.

He understands the elder sister’s thoughts. Elustias has always wanted to take care of her younger brother. If she is made aware of the danger she is about to face, the elder sister will definitely let him hide. Do not go out of the shelter.

However, after hearing the elder sister’s reply, Sid has made up his mind that he will not be able to drag down the elder sister no matter what.

Three days, three days at most, he had to leave after three days here, before the Raven Knights could react.

The tangled and complicated things made Sid’s head a little confused. It happened that he needed to find someone to repair the equipment and purchase fresh ingredients, so the white-haired young man put on a little make-up and put on two pieces of beard. Putting on his cape and hood, Sid walked quietly out of 12 Crum Street.

It’s been a quiet day for now.

Sid looked up at the sky, although the howling wind and torrential rain lurked beneath the tranquility, this may be the last time she and her elder sister have spent together recently.

Okay, I’ve decided to make beef stew with potatoes tonight!

Before stepping out of the doorsteps protected by the guardian magic, a newsboy was running down the stone pavement on the street, shouting today’s headlines.

“Outside the account! Outside the account! Front page headlines, the most bizarre murder in history! The Sofa Tibetan Case!”

“Holy Empire dispatch officer Sir Hoffman was discovered yesterday afternoon Dead at home! Patron Knight discovered that the killer had been hiding in a sofa chair in Sir Hoffman’s house!”

“Rizlan’s most bizarre murder ever! “

“?”

“???”

“??????”

White who is still going down the stairs The hairy boy stood still, his mouth opened wide.

Hoffman, dead?

What did I do?

And how did this get in the newspapers on the second day?

In the Holy Empire, the literacy rate of the common people is not high, and the literate people are mostly concentrated in the first three classes, especially the Nobili and Iquis classes, while the Sivis class is literate but not literate, among which The literate level of the urban emerging citizens will be relatively high, while the rural homesteaders will have a lower level of education. As for the fourth rank Seus, the overwhelming majority are illiterate.

In this world, printing has been invented for a long time, but it was once considered a “devil’s creation” and was strictly prohibited. The Holy Empire court and the Church of the Gods in Heaven suppressed this technology, only A small number of religious publications and official propaganda artifacts were released.

Strict to harsh regulation is also an important reason why this world is always progressing slowly.

Until the 4th Griffon Dynasty was destroyed, the Holy Empire court and the Church of the Gods of Heaven were greatly weakened, and the control of the people was weakened. Strict, this was approved by Lord Holy Throne Supreme, who guarded the Holy Empire court at that time, and the private press was gradually released. Even so, the restrictions on the press within the Holy Empire’s control were still very large, Rizlan here will be better.

“Outside the number! Outside the number!” The little newsboy was running on the street, waving the newspaper, brow beaded with sweat, and shouted vigorously.

“Get me one.” A hooded man stopped him.

“Okay, sir, two…” Before the fairy tale of the tabloid could finish, two Copper Coins had already landed in his hands. He wanted to say thank you, but the person who came had disappeared.

The little newsboy thought he was dazzled, he rubbed his eyes, and he really disappeared, only two Copper Coins remained.

He didn’t think much about it. Anyway, the money was in his pocket. The little newsboy continued to wave the newspaper: “Outside the account, outside the account, the case of Tibetan people on the sofa!”

The newsboy’s voice changed from From near to far, the coldness in Sid’s heart is from far to near. He calmed down and opened the newspaper with only two pages. Most of the newspapers were printed with some unnutritious things. Sid quickly found what he wanted to read.

The Sofa Tibetan Case!

“Yesterday afternoon, Sir Hoffman, a dispatch officer from the Empire, was found killed in his home by a dagger from behind. His body was found by his family at night.”

“Officer Knight received a report from Mrs Hoffman and immediately rushed to the scene to investigate. According to Officer Knight’s investigation, everyone present made a shocking discovery that Sir Hoffman not only died in a murder, but also in a far-reaching conspiracy. Murder! Someone was hiding in a plush sofa chair in Sir Hoffman’s home and attacked from inside the sofa chair when Sir Hoffman was not prepared.”

“Sir Horton, the tribune knight, interviewed. , according to the dry food in the sofa chair, the murderer not only carried out the assassination by hiding in the sofa chair, but also lived in the sofa chair for a period of time. The court of the Kingdom of Helvetia solemnly announces that the murderer must be found and a fair case for Sir Hoffman.”

“Sir Hoffman was born in a fishing village in the Principality of Raven, and as a Sivis, he has always adhered to ‘loyalty’ two. The words, the actual actions practice the general requirements of “loyalty, service, justice, and strictness”, and use life to interpret the original mission of the first Holy Falcon Emperor Romani for mankind. Sir Hoffman’s life is unremitting for the Holy Empire and the cause of mankind A life of struggle is a life of loyalty, diligence and dedication, honesty, honesty, hardship and simplicity. I hope that the people of the Empire and Rizlan Kingdom will continue to work with one heart and one mind, be dedicated, work diligently, and maintain social harmony and stability, just like Sir Hoffman. , to make an important contribution to the restoration of the glory of the Empire!”

“Sir Hoffman’s farewell ceremony will be held in 3 days.”

The more Sid looked down, the expression on his face more tangled.

The report is not long, and many details are not disclosed, but this is normal, after all, the case must be solved.

As for calling on everyone to learn the Hoffman spirit? This is another matter. If the Imperials are like Hoffman, it is estimated that they are all over.

Sid is most confused about whether Hoffman killed himself.

If Hoffman killed himself, how did he get out again that afternoon like nothing else?

If Hoffman didn’t kill himself, then what’s the explanation for being stabbed with a dagger from behind and Tibetans on the sofa?

Sid was bewildered by what happened. He didn’t tell anyone about his assassination plan, including his good friends and elder sister. From start to finish, only he knew about it. Under such circumstances, how could someone perfectly replicate their own plan?

And it can be known from the limited information in the report that the murderer, like Sid, moved his hands on the sofa.

This is really weird, my wife is too weird, Sid originally wanted to go out to collect information, but now he can’t even be sure whether Hoffman died by his own hands.

Thinking about it, everything Sid has been through since he started doing it on Hoffman has a strange smell, it looks like a coincidence, but it doesn’t look like a coincidence, one thing is closely linked with one another, Sid is now more convinced that he has been caught in a huge conspiracy, which may have started from the appearance of Sameer, it may have started with Hoffman, and it may even have started… since his birth.

Now must be careful, Sid pulls on his hood to hide his overly conspicuous features.

He used to be able to complain, but now he knows he’s different.

Fortunately, Rizlan is not as strict as Holy Empire, and most of the mercenaries pay attention to personal privacy, so Rizlan mercenaries like to wear hoods as standard.

Geneva Street, Old Mark’s Blacksmith’s Guild.

As usual, the diligent Old Ma got up before dawn to let the apprentices go to work, and he personally monitored the efforts of the apprentices.

“How can you fall asleep at your age and stage? Is there any promise?”

These are Old Ma’s original words, and I am the boss. Work hard, why don’t you apprentices work hard?

Caught out of the warm bed by Old Ma, the miserable blacksmith apprentices could only drag their heavy bodies and start preparing early.

This is generally the daily life of the overwhelming majority of apprentices in the entire Holy Empire. If they want to learn technology, they have to boil. Many blacksmith apprentices have been learning for more than ten years because they are “easy to use”. Helping for a lifetime.

However, even if it is a helper, it is much better than farming and grazing. The minimum annual income of a blacksmith helper is 15 gold ecubits, which is the lowest blacksmith helper issued by the great priest Cecilia. fee standard.

As soon as this decree came out, I don’t know how many helpers were deeply grateful to the high priest, and they almost worshipped her as a god.

And Sid also believes that as a blacksmith apprentice doing more work at least can at least learn more skills, it is better than selling coolies into an electronics factory to stick labels.

Sid became alert shortly after entering the smithy.

The Blacksmith’s Guild has guests!

In Old Ma’s parlour sat a solemnly dressed Knight.

This man Sid recognizes as Sir Horton, the tribune of Baden Street!

How did he get to Old Ma’s Blacksmith’s Guild?

Sid felt bad in his heart. He walked to the corner and secretly listened to the conversation in the house.

“It’s really a big case of heaven shaking, earth shattering.” Old Ma’s voice came from the house: “Since the news came out yesterday, it is said that many nobles in the city have taken apart their sofa chairs to see See if there is anyone inside, hey, there is no one in the sofa chair, but a few cuckold (imperial sayings, referring to green hats) found men under their beds and in the cupboards, guess which famous person was found?”

The other voice, Sid, was also familiar, apparently Sir Horton, the tribune Knight: “Is it Whitney? He’s the only one.”

“Ha, you guessed it right. , Holden brother, he hid naked behind a flowerpot on the balcony of a lord’s house for more than two hours, hahaha, I’m dying of laughter!” Old Ma impudent laughed, looking particularly happy.

“That guy Whitney, what if he gets caught?” Sir Houghton’s voice was rather helpless: “He is a noble Light Elf, or the most Legendary Silver Hand family, so what? But Silver Hand! Silver Hand, Silver Hand, it’s not a particularly serious crime, who dares to attack him? At most, send it to the elf embassy to criticize and educate him, at most.”

“Harm, light elf It’s also divided into three, six, nine, etc., how dare those people in the light elf embassy criticize the silver hand of education?” Old Ma was also helpless when he talked about this matter: “speaking of which, the group of nobles in Sole owed me a lot of money. Hundreds of gold ecubits, but they were dragged on for various reasons and not returned. I went to ask for it a few times and even sat at the gate of their castle for a long time before returning one third to me. As a result, after Whitney listened to it, I went with me. Grandpa Knight was so frightened that he chipped in to pay me back on the spot.”

“No way, who made him the silver hand?”

“Yes, he is the silver hand, don’t say Those of us, even the Black Eagle Imperial Family, have to give the Silver Hand face.”

Sir Houghton was silent for a few seconds, his voice muffled: “Old Mark, tell me the truth. , the case of Sir Hoffman, do you know anything about it? This is very important to us, and if you can provide valuable clues, the Helvetia Kingdom Council will definitely thank you!”

“I am a stinker. Blacksmith, how can you possibly know the inside story of this case?” Old Ma seemed to be particularly afraid of getting involved in this matter, and Sid heard a commotion: “I can tell you, Holden brother, our Schmidt family has been from 200 years. Never committed a single case, never had anyone in the game, you can’t wrong me!”

“I have not wronged you.” Sir Houghton said immediately: “But this time Hoffman In one case, the Kingdom Council has a two-week deadline for us to solve the case, but we really can’t find any other clues. At present, there is only one key suspect.”

“Who?”

“ The mercenary middleman, Sid!”
