"Who set the fire? Who set the fire?!"

Bregle, like the others, hung his head and let the butler scream angrily.

The faint smell of burnt smell mixed with the fragrance left behind by the burning resin lingered on the tip of the nose, making people feel very unhappy, and the deafening roar of the butler made people even more irritable.

"I've been checking for two days! I haven't found out who set the fire, if the lord wants to be held accountable for this, how do you want me to answer?!"

The more the butler talked, the more angry he became, and remembering his master's irritable and irritable character, he couldn't help but walk over and kick them, but instead of kicking them down, he fell to the ground.

"Ahh......h

When he raised his hand, he found a piece of ash in his hand, and when he looked down in amazement, he saw that his pants had been dyed with black and ash.

"Poof!"

I don't know who laughed, the housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then glared angrily, his embarrassed eyes swept over everyone's faces, and screamed and scolded: "Who laughed? Who laughed just now? Stand up for me, if you don't stand up, you will prepare for me to pack up and go home after I go back!"

"Me!"

As soon as the butler's words fell, someone stood up, and everyone turned their heads in surprise.

Bregel, who had just been kicked by the butler, lowered his head, and his contemptuous gaze seemed to scrape over the butler's bones, making him shiver.

Bregel unsheathed his sword, threw it in front of the butler, and snorted coldly: "Mr. Butler Gredol, please forgive me for not being able to dedicate my loyalty and life to the lord anymore!"

Of course, he knew that if he did this, he would definitely be harassed by the butler - the noble lord would not know that he was a soldier out of the ranks, but the butler knew that as long as the butler said a few words in the noble lord's ear, he would suffer the thunderous wrath of the noble lord.

But they had said many times before that it was a monster that came out of nowhere and burned the old man's forest, but the housekeeper didn't believe it, and kept asking them to find a 'real criminal', to put it bluntly, to find a scapegoat, the purpose was to prove that there were no monsters, and it was 'people' who burned the forest.

In this way, the lord does not need to send troops to encircle and suppress monsters, and naturally his reputation will not be damaged because he does not send troops to encircle and suppress monsters that may cause danger to the people.

But the monster is there, and everyone here knows that the monster is in their territory, and it is still wandering, and if everyone pretends to be deaf and dumb, then it will not only be this forest that will be damaged, but their families!

Everyone knows it, so they don't want to grab a scapegoat to top the bag, everyone is selfish, so everyone wants to protect themselves and their families.

"You...... You idiot!" the butler got up from the ground, tilted his head back, and stared at Bregel with resentful eyes.

Bregel also stared at a pair of eyes as big as copper bells, and did not flinch.

He had already explained the matter to the others, telling them not to do that kind of thing, otherwise it would be their families and their fields that would be affected.

So at this time, no one would speak for the butler at all, but instead cast mockery, resentment, and anger on the butler.

At this moment, the butler panicked, his panicked eyes swirled on those soldiers, he didn't understand why these soldiers suddenly became like this—he, they obviously wouldn't have resisted before!

Little people also have the dignity of small people, although they themselves also regard themselves as quite humble, but as long as they are still a self-conscious person, they will not easily give up their lives and property and those of their families.

As long as the relationship is explained, they will soon understand what they need to do.

This is the philosophy of the little people!

A person like a butler, who was born in a wealthy family and was educated how to serve the nobility since childhood, would never understand this kind of thing.

Because they don't understand, they plan to find a scapegoat to 'solve' this matter, otherwise the butler wouldn't have given them just two days.

It is estimated that there is still their 'master' standing behind this incident, otherwise, how dare this guy who is fierce and inward-looking, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, do something to deceive the master?

It is very likely that this matter was instructed by the noble lord to do it, anyway, no matter how the monster flowed, it would not hurt their high-ranking nobles, and it was better to have more than less.

What's more, some time ago, Bregel personally caught an adventurer who spread the message of 'the arrival of the demon tide', and he knew this kind of thing best!

He is not a fool who only listens to others, since he was a child, he likes to observe things and think about problems, after discovering this matter, he originally wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but now it seems that he can't do it anymore.

If he doesn't do something, he probably doesn't have to do it, and the housekeeper will find a scapegoat himself.

He had to stop, he had to resist!

"Mr. Gredol, I'm not an idiot, wandering monsters can hurt my family, so I can't choose to be silent anymore!"

The local Radiant Church teaches for free on Saturdays and Sundays, and if he has free time, Bregel goes to 'listen to lectures' – where he learns and learns a lot.

Bregle pointed to the butler's nose and said, "One more thing, Mr. Gredol, now that I am no longer my lord's loyal soldier, please stop verbally insulting me, or I may strike at you!"

The butler was so frightened that he took two steps back, his face turned pale with fright, and his eyes straightened.

Bregle wasn't thin, not as athletic as he was, thanks to his Uncle Orion, and now he was really angry.

The butler and the noble lord were hurting his family, and he couldn't sit idly by anymore - even if he didn't think he was a good person, he still wanted to protect his family.

"You, you......" The butler trembled and pointed at the sturdy soldier in front of him, but when the cruel words came to his lips, he couldn't speak.

Angry, his lips trembled, and he stared at Bregel for a long time, but he could not say anything, so he stomped his feet in anger, turned away, and screamed: "Bring me his sword, and protect me back!"

Bregel breathed a sigh of relief, if he could, he really didn't want to beat the butler, otherwise he might really suffer.

"Good job, Bregel!" said the soldiers who passed by him smiled and patted him on the shoulder, or gave him a thumbs up.

They had wanted to do that for a long time, but no one had the guts, let alone ...... The sneer was not from Bregel.

"I'm sorry, I'm bothering you......" A voice floated past him, and Bregle was slightly stunned, looking at the thin figure who walked away quickly with his head down, and sighed silently.

Everyone is gone, and he is the only one left here.

Bregel looked up at the blue sky and thought about the future.

"I remember, Mr. Priest seems to have said that our territory is in the south of the Eagle Plateau, far away from the Black Forest, where monsters are infested, but even here there are monsters, so there should be more in the future......"

Standing in place and muttering under his breath, Bregel frowned and walked in the direction of the town.

"I don't know if Greidor will trouble me in the future, let's go to the church and ask Mr. Pastor to help, maybe he will have a solution......"

Bregel knew that if he did, it would be much harder to come.

But he also knew he had to do it!
