Wren pulled a wad of paper out of a drawer under the desk, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of me.

I picked up one of them, and with the help of fluorescence, carefully read the neat text on it: On May 2, 4114, I spent 500 gold coins to create a pure gold rappier and gave it to the captain of the Elven Palace Guard......

At the back of the account, Wren indicated the reason for giving them the item, and the information he had obtained as a result.

After carefully reading them one by one, I had an estimate in my heart that there were more than 20,000 gold coins in total, but almost every gold coin had its use value.

I pushed the wad back to Wren and said, "I'll reimburse you for all this money tomorrow morning, what else do you need?" ”

The corners of Wren's mouth twitched, and he said, "Get me a few more cases of good wine, and it should be of the same grade as before." ”

"That's fine, but," I leaned back on the sofa and clasped my hands in my arms, "aren't you afraid that drinking too much will slow down your reactions?" ”

Wren said: "I have my own measure, so I don't bother you." ”

......

......

After that, there were no waves, reimbursing Wren for gold coins, buying wine, farming monsters with Phoenix, learning from Emily, occasionally going to Elder Sonoda's house to make trouble, and letting Princess Anareta come to my house to eat.

This time is simply the perfect life I have dreamed of, quiet, plain, and without waves.

However, isn't there a famous person who once said that life is always full of all kinds of surprises.

But at this moment, I would like to change this sentence a little: life is always full of all kinds of surprises, and it may also be fright.

The person who was frightened was not me, nor my family, but my family's friend, the little princess of Moonlight City, Anareta.

Here's the thing.

The little princess who was playing in the Elven Forest was suddenly attacked and almost died, but fortunately, her original strength was not weak, coupled with a strong desire to survive, she broke through the encirclement and ran to my house with only her strength.

Fortunately, Old Man Taylor didn't get drunk that day, and saved Princess Anareta, and finally saved her life.

When we got home, we saw Princess Anarita, trembling with anger, holding her sleeping sister in tears.

I asked her what was going on, and Princess Anarita only knew that her sister must have been attacked, and as for the murderer who attacked the little princess and the origin of the murderer, Princess Anarita knew nothing about it.

She tried to rush out to find the murderer several times, but we stopped her, and after stopping her, she struggled desperately like a madman, and bit me, uh, the bite was on the back of the hand, a row of small tooth marks, a lot of blood beads seeped out of the tooth marks, and I hissed and inhaled cold air in pain.

But I didn't blame her in the slightest, I could understand her feelings, after all, although Princess Anareta usually looks very unreliable, eager to grab meat to eat, and likes to play a little temper, she is one of Princess Anaryta's only relatives after all.

In the face of a close loved one hurting a loved one, impulsiveness and irrationality are understandable.

It's just that we can't bite someone, you know, the pain of being bitten is several times greater than the pain of being injured by a sharp weapon!

Cagalli grabbed Princess Anarita's arms with both arms, making her unable to move, and I comforted and lectured Princess Anarita: "I said, Princess, can you stop causing trouble, I know that you love your sister very much and are eager to avenge your sister, but have you thought about it, even if we let you out, where will you find the murderer?" When there is no clue at all, aren't you blind? ”

"Then what do you say I should do!" Princess Anaryta's beautiful eyes were round, and she looked a little scary.

I let out a long sigh: "It is imperative not to take revenge, we should wait for Princess Anareta to come to her senses, ask her what happened, do you remember how many people attacked her, what kind of weapons these people are, etc., etc., only after we have clarified these issues, we can formulate a policy and start the next plan step by step." ”

Princess Anarita listened to me gasping for breath, and after a few seconds of silence, her expression became depressed and her body became weak, Cagalli put her on the sofa, and Princess Anarita sat on the sofa like this, motionless, like a deflated doll.

I sighed and pushed the people in Princess Anarita's room to see the little princess lying on the bed with a pale face, and although the wounds on her body had been healed by Taylor, she had not woken up due to blood loss and mental trauma.

Taylor sat on the chair beside the bed, leaning on the back of the chair, his expression indifferent, but there was a lingering anger in his old eyes.

The old man seemed to be a little angry this time, but fortunately, his old man was extremely calm, and his demeanor and words and emotions did not show any abnormality.

I walked to the little princess's bed, looked at her little pale face, her thin lips without blood, her eyes that trembled slightly but never opened, and felt her steady but very weak breathing, I exhaled heavily: "Old man, how is she?" ”

Taylor's eyes moved, and the old body slowly sat up, and sighed deeply: "There are eleven sharp blade wounds all over the body, and there are two penetrating wounds under the ribs, if it is delayed for more than ten minutes, it will be difficult to say." ”

I sat on the edge of the little princess's bed and gently touched her forehead with the back of my hand, and the cold touch came instantly, and I couldn't help frowning again: "Old man, can you tell what weapon is hurting those scars?" ”

Taylor shook his head: "I can only tell if it was a sharp weapon, as for whether it was a knife or a sword, I can't tell." ”

"That's right......" I sighed.

After a long silence in the room with Taylor, he suddenly raised his head and said with a serious expression: "Bastard, she is Beatrice's little granddaughter......"

Beatrice, the former lord of Moonlight City and the grandmother of the Elven Empress, is the same woman as the elven patriarch, and the most important woman for Taylor.

I understood the relationship between this, and naturally knew the meaning of Taylor's half-cut words, I nodded solemnly at him, and said solemnly: "I understand, old man, I will investigate this matter thoroughly, and those murderers who hurt Princess Anareta, I will let them all be punished as they deserve." ”

Taylor listened, nodded slightly, put his hands on his legs, and slowly stood up from the chair, I wanted to help him, but he refused.

Then, with heavy steps, he slowly walked out of the room.

I stared at his back, and suddenly my heart turned desolate.
