She Is Not a Witch Chapter 100: Imperial Inquisitor

Are you calling me, Lorraine Hill quickly realized.

Under the staring gaze of the man pointing his fingers, the people around him unknowingly spread out, revealing the two young girls behind them.

Seeing this lady swordsman wearing exquisite silver armor, the eyes of the other guards also brightened, but because of the expensive armor at first glance, they became a little slow. People who can use such armor are not mediocre. If they resist, they may lose their lives.

Most of these soldiers are ordinary people, but with complete armor and weapons, they can crush ordinary people.

"Excuse me, what's the matter?" Lorraine Hill stood in front of Lottie, took a few steps forward, and walked out of the crowd.

"Hmph, where did you come from? What's the purpose of coming here." He began to think of an excuse to take down this girl.

This is the territory of Viscount Mo Ruo, with his uncle as a big backer, what can he not do?

"I received a mission to **** the Roentgen caravan here." The girl simply explained that her attention was not on the greedy captain of the guard at the moment, but on the soldiers in black behind him, which are worth noting .

The strength of these soldiers wearing capes is between Sequence 3-4, they are rare elites, and judging from their calm appearance, they are not the dandies of ordinary nobles.

"Oh, is that what you said? Come with me to the prison." He said triumphantly, as if everything was under control.

He has used this kind of words many times on weekdays. Anyway, those adventurers dare not offend Viscount Moruo, and they always get him some benefits in the end.

Although in Lorraine Hill's view, such an order is simply unreasonable and completely unfair, but seeing the anxious looks of the people around them, it seems that they have nothing to do.

"My lord, this...can you accommodate me. The leader of our caravan, Miss Charlene, is a friend of Lord Moruo, and they have a good relationship with each other, and this Miss Mesia is also escorting us to the destination. The hero here..." The temporary head of the caravan had no choice but to stand up, saying that he waved to the people beside him, asking them to bring a small bag of gold coins.

Looking at the gold coin handed over, the guard captain's eyes were full of greed, but since there were so many people around, it was difficult to accept it directly.

"Do you want to bribe and confuse me just because of this? I am Lord Moruo's loyal guard." He snatched the bag of gold coins and held it up high, as if disdainful.

"Of course I'm not bribing you. It's just that you and your brothers came out to search in the middle of the night. You really did your duty. We just want to give you some money for dinner. We also want to thank you and the many loyal guards for taking care of the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce. "The interim person in charge quickly turned his head.

"Huh."

The captain of the guard seemed quite satisfied with this, but looking at Lorraine Hill's beautiful face, he still couldn't move forward. Fortunately, a black-clothed sergeant stepped forward and whispered something in his ear. Then he nodded reluctantly, handed the gold coin to the younger brother beside him, and led them away.

"For the sake of the Roentgen caravan being a good friend of Mr. Mo Ruo, I won't pursue some of your details this time." Go to the next goal.

Phew, the people in the Roentgen caravan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving, when entering the next house to search, the captain of the guard asked the sergeant a little puzzled.

"Why did you dissuade me just now? Although you are under the command of Lord Investigator, I still want to know the reason."

"My lord, that girl is not simple. She has at least the strength of Sequence 5. If conflicts are really aroused, it will only kill you and me in an instant." The sergeant answered concisely.

"How is it possible? Didn't you say that the girl only has Sequence 4?" It seems that he is not ignorant, but has heard about the girl Mesia before.

"Maybe it's advanced recently. You should have heard of it. Some geniuses can always gain a lot after going through hardships and defeating powerful enemies."

"Before, when she was in Sequence 4, she defeated the black bear in Sequence 5. This is not something ordinary people can do."

"Uh..." Regarding this, the captain could only remain silent, thinking to himself.

Why such a beautiful girl is so powerful, what a pity, these things flashed through my mind, and then I came back to my senses in the report of my subordinates.

"My lord, this house has been checked, and nothing special has been found." The guards searched for some oil and water, and then came back to report with satisfaction.

"Well, let's go to the next one." He took the bag containing the coins and shook it slightly. Hearing this pleasant voice, he felt a little happier again.

After that, these guards searched from house to house, saying that they were looking for things and suspicious people, but they also used this to extort money and gained a lot of benefits. Perhaps this is why they took it so seriously.

"My lord, is this kind of behavior inappropriate?"

On the bell tower of the small town, two officers dressed in black stood, one of them was obviously older and had a higher position.

"It's nothing. You just graduated from the Royal Academy. You are not familiar with these things now, but you will gradually get used to them in the future." The experienced officer moved his eyes slightly and replied slowly.

"Soldiers are not saints. If you want them to be obedient, you have to give them some benefits, no matter where the benefits come from."

"However, we are the investigators of the empire, yes..." The young officer beside him was a little shaken.

"Yes, that's right, we are the eyes and sharp sword of the emperor, specializing in eliminating pests in the empire." Facing the puzzlement of the newcomer beside him, the old man smiled and waved his hands.

"This is what you want to say."

"Yes, my lord."

"However, have you ever thought about what a pest is. Or, which people are the pests of the empire, and those are the ones we want to protect?" The old man spoke again.

"Don't tell me that it's those who are paying the money." He pointed to the ordinary people who were knocked on the door in the night and asked the soldiers to check.

"Uh, isn't it? These are the people of the empire, and they didn't do anything wrong." The young officer looked at a mother who had just walked out of the courtyard, and she was still holding a child in her hands.

"No no no." The old man shook his head.

"They are just crops, or wheat in the field."

"Do you know what wheat is? Yes, they are food, firewood, and important things."

"And these guards are the people who help us harvest the wheat. They are our allies and our own people. You need to understand the difference."

"When the emperor has an order, who will lead the order to carry it out? Punishment for respected people?"

"It is these nobles who are finally royal, these families who made oaths and covenants in ancient times. And they are the backbone and support of the empire."

"The people are ignorant, greedy, and ruthless. Don't look at their obedient cooperation now. If you don't have a long sword and armor in your hand, they won't give you a penny."

"If there are no guards guarding them, they will break into your house and steal your things. If they are not punished and taught, these people dare to disobey any order."

"Do you think that if you treat them well, they will remember you and thank you? No, they will complain even more. Why don't you give more. Everyone has given, but why don't you give it to me? .”

"They will betray for a little profit, do not keep their oaths and agreements, and hide everywhere, just because he once asked you to borrow money."

"If one day he repays the money, he will be laughed at by the people around him, isn't he a fool?"

"So I said that these civilians are crops in the field. You have to take good care of them and trim them frequently so that they will remain normal. Otherwise, they will be messy."

"As for those pests, they just don't grow good crops. Not only do they have different intentions, but they also encourage other people to be like them. If these people are allowed to expand, it will be like locusts passing through the border, leaving you with no harvest." A seasoned investigator appraised those revolutionaries.

"Although it was Viscount Moruo who lost important things this time, we just took this opportunity to search from house to house to clean up those hidden pests."

"Now, do you understand?"

"Yes, my lord, the subordinate understands." Regarding this, the confusion in the young officer's eyes dissipated, and turned into firmness and indifference.

They are soldiers loyal to the Emperor and will surely maintain the unity and greatness of the Empire.

————————

In the search at night, after the noise and surprise at the beginning, everything gradually calmed down. Although the people murmured and complained about the harshness and knocking of the guards, they still restrained rationally and did not resist when faced with the shining spears and swords.

"Search!"

The door of another small house was pushed open, and several soldiers poured into it.

"You look unfamiliar, where did you come from?" These guards are all locals, so they are naturally familiar with the local situation.

In the small courtyard, besides the head of the household and his wife, there are also two young men. They don't look like farmers working in the fields.

"We are adventurers from Iron Hill City. I recently heard that there are many monsters here that need to be dealt with, so we came here." The two explained reasonably.

"Is that so?" Several soldiers looked at the two briefly, and asked them to take out the adventurer's badge to have a look.

"Here." The two obediently took out the badge inside the collar, and shrugged again, expressing their innocence.

Looking at the two badges in the palm of his hand against the torch, there are a little stains on the copper-colored metal, reflecting a faint light.

"It's true." The guard checked and threw back the two badges, which were carefully caught by the two.

Not long after, several soldiers who were inspecting the room also came out and reported to the team leader who led the team.

"Boss, it's normal inside." As he spoke, he held a few sausages in his hand, and he took a bite out of them, and his mouth was a little greasy.

"It's quite normal." The team leader looked at the sausages, smiled, and nodded slowly.

"Let's go."

After speaking, these soldiers greeted and started to go to the next house, and behind them, an accompanying sergeant in black took a meaningful look at the yard, and then quickly followed.

The search is still going on, and the night is slowly getting deeper, and it is the most exhausting time in the early morning.

The two investigators walked down the town's clock tower, and several black-clothed sergeants stepped forward and began to report the situation one by one.

....

"Above, the most noteworthy ones are these." As he spoke, the sergeant pressed a rough yellowed map on the wall of the clock tower, and then raised a torch to illuminate it.

The map roughly depicts the outline of the small town and the distribution of streets, among which there are four circles drawn with red pens, which are eye-catching.

"This house on North Street near the city wall has an old knight who is said to be a distant relative of this family. He came to visit."

"There is a guest from the East in the 'Barrel Bar' near the market in the middle. He has certificates and documents on him, but our soldiers don't know how to verify the authenticity."

"In the courtyard where the Central Chamber of Commerce gathers, there are two girls with exceptionally good looks. One of them is the swordsman who escorted the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce. Too normal."

"In the remote eastern corner of the city, there are two adventurers staying at a commoner's house. Although they claim to be adventurers to deal with monsters, they are practicing the devil sequence, and the imprint on the badge is several years ago. , the mission records during the period are quite small, which is a bit strange."

As an adventurer, every time a mission is completed, the corresponding mark will be engraved on it in the Adventurer Hall, which is a symbol of strength and honor.

"Most of the other foreign adventurers are weak, some are still injured, and there is no abnormality."

"According to our previous inspection, the person who stole Viscount Moruo's treasure must have at least Sequence 4 in order to avoid the guards and unlock the protective device." The sergeant analyzed calmly.

"Yes, this operation is much stricter than in the past."

"Then let's start the action now." The seasoned investigator covered the brim of his hat, then walked forward slowly, picked up the handle of the knife at his waist, and pointed to a corner of the map.

"First of all, these two people."

The handle of the saber has long been polished, and it is on the right side of the map, which is the eastern corner of the city.

"Other targets have special features, and it is unlikely to carry out such a covert action, so these two seemingly normal adventurers are even more suspicious."

"Even if they're not thieves, I think we'll get something out of it."

"Yes, my lord!"

These sergeants from the center of the empire immediately stood at attention, and then, led by one of them, they hurried towards the east of the small town.

They moved swiftly, and the cloak wrapped in armor fluttered in the night, like bats, quickly approaching the intended target, but when they were not far away, their speed suddenly slowed down, becoming stealthy and silent.

Bang!

The dilapidated wooden door was kicked open directly, and the sawdust flew in the sound~IndoMTL.com~The sound of the explosion suddenly awakened the surroundings. Immediately, soldiers in black with sabers rushed into the small courtyard.

"You——" the head of the household was in the yard at the moment, looking at the men in black in surprise, before he could ask any questions, he felt a chill in his chest, and a sharp long knife pierced his chest directly.

"Ah, ah..." He opened his eyes wide, and made an inexplicable creaking sound with his long mouth. He felt that all the warmth ran out of his chest, and everything became cold quickly.

The homeowner slowly knelt on the ground, and then fell heavily, everything in his vision began to blur, only the black military boots slowly enlarged in his pupils.

There was a sound of weapons clashing in the backyard, and then it quickly returned to silence.

"Damn, let them get away with one."

"Don't worry, hehe, as long as the target is determined, they can't escape."

Hearing the low voice coming from in front of him, the house owner's consciousness slowly fell into darkness until everything was silent.
