After listening to it, Hephaestus immediately responded——
"Do you think I would believe it?"
How could someone take the initiative to join her family and come in with such a sum of money? Who could be that stupid?
"But that's the truth."
Hestia is telling the truth, the difference is that she is hiding something.
For example, the other party needs her blood to deal with a curse. As for the information about ability values, of course they didn't say anything.
"Really?"
"Really! Look at my eyes, am I particularly serious?"
"It's so fake. I said, Hestia, you can't be..."
"What can't it be?"
Hestia tilted his head, and gradually he could see the meaning in Hephaestus's eyes.
"I won't be so depressed that I sell my body or something~!"
"Okay, just kidding."
"Hmph! I'm not happy!"
"Then I will help you find the most cost-effective place to live."
"That's about it, it's best to get a 10% discount."
"Hestia, go to sleep, you can have anything in your dreams, it's free."
As soon as the words of complaint were finished, Familia member of Hephaestus hurriedly came in and told one thing, which made Hestia's face stiffen.
Her new member Familia member seems to have killed someone in the street.
The most popular guild member Eina is really having a headache right now.
What happened yesterday was classified as an accident, and what happened early this morning resulted in four deaths again.
Therefore, Eina has to come over to deal with this matter now.
Not that the guild is also the law enforcement officer of city of Orario, responsible for all legal issues of Orario.
law?
Orario is a very special city. Unlike other city-states outside, it does not really have such complete customization of laws and regulations that must be followed.
This is a city with a very high concentration of gods. It mainly relies on self-awareness. It is usually not too excessive. It has not offended any dependents and few people will go into it.
If it goes too far, the guild will also issue Bounty Request.
Of course, if you fail to meet such standards, you may be disliked by the guild and have your adventurer status revoked.
Then, it will be troublesome to survive in city of Orario, because you cannot trade from the guild, and it will be difficult to get money to survive.
After all, most people get money here by trading magic stones or some materials from monsters defeated in dungeons to the guild.
For the rest of the shops, few people will accept it.
And now, the person she received yesterday, Mr. Bai Yue, who had just registered as an adventurer, was about to meet the other four friends who died unexpectedly yesterday night on the street, and the other party died unexpectedly again.
Then, she must determine whether it is really related to Mr. Bai Yue.
If so, the guild will record his bad behavior and even revoke his status as an adventurer.
As a result of the current investigation, there is no actual evidence that the deaths of four people today are related to him, and it seems to be an accident.
Of course, Mr. Bai Yue has something to do with it. If he hadn't thrown away the peels, there wouldn't have been such an accident.
As for the few words he said, Mr. Bai Yue also said that they were just a kind of theater talk for people who took pleasure in others' misfortune.
As a result, it seems that Mr. Bai Yue can only be exonerated.
There are several reasons, because the accident happened in front of Loki Familia member, one of the two major forces of Orario.
According to its members, Mr. Bai Yue has not been seen to actively or maliciously launch provocations, nor has any secret means or curse magic been found.
The deceased persons were also examined to ensure that they were not exposed to any hallucinogenic drugs or magic.
In addition, many other viewers also believed that Mr. Bai Yue was innocent and had such a bad experience for no reason.
However, Eina knew that the deaths of these people were absolutely inseparable from Mr. Bai Yue.
She suspected that it might be related to the skill she saw yesterday night - Fate Execution.
So, is it time to speak out?
In the end, Eina chose to remain silent because these people who died actually had a very bad reputation.
If there was a healthy country outside, these people would definitely be criminals of the country.
However, this is city of Orario, which is actually a city where strength is paramount.
If there is no clear evidence and the behavior is too bad and leads to anger and resentment, the guild can only turn a blind eye and be unable to deal with it.
"I said, you did it on purpose, right? You did this kind of thing in front of us Loki Familia, and yet you couldn't find any evidence, and instead made us your witnesses of innocence?" The person with a very unkind tone was Bortroc, because in his opinion, the group of people had been used, and they became the witnesses to clear this guy's suspicion.
Doesn't this guy know how important Loki Familia is in this city? Taking advantage of them like this?
"What are you talking about? If you really have evidence, please bring it out? What? The famous Loki Familia can't find the evidence? Or are you planning to use force to suppress people and force them to be charged?"
This unhurried and relaxed tone made Bortroc's face look even worse.
"You..."
The next moment, Bortroc stiffened up because the gaze cast by the person in front of him suddenly had the weight of a mass.
At this moment, he was like a rabbit being stared at by a brutal beast, so scared that he remained motionless.
The other party just took out the sword in his hand and waved it over.
Then he felt death coming..
Chapter 1058: The urge to kill is a stress response caused by being scared
That sight that seemed to have quality made him feel like he was being killed for a moment.
For a moment, Bortroc's back felt like it was being brushed gently by Finger of Death, and it was bone-chillingly cold.
So, when he saw the opponent's hand grabbing the hilt of the sword, he pulled it out and swung it towards his neck.
If he does nothing, the separation of the bodies is certain.
The other party obviously wanted to kill him.
Therefore, Bortroc, who is sure that death is coming, will certainly not sit still and wait.
Most people dodge and escape.
What Bortroc did was to counterattack before the opponent made the first move. He immediately drew out his swords and slashed across them, as if a pair of big scissors were about to cut off the opponent's neck.
Clang——!
There was a sound of metal clashing. It was a slender sword blocking his weapon, and this sword was also very familiar.
But before he could tell—
Touch——!
He was punched hard in the abdomen, almost knocking out all the air in his lungs, and causing gastric juice to surge into his throat, making him feel painful and heavy. Then his body felt weightless and fell heavily to the ground.
"Bell, are you crazy?"
"What on earth are you doing? You suddenly went on a killing spree!"
Amazon sisters's curses were immediately heard in his ears, and he saw that the two people had already come to him, looking at him with evil expressions, as if he had to fix him properly if he was messing around.
"Damn it, are you blind? That guy did it first!"
Bell made an angry voice and looked away from the two sisters to look at the other two.
One is the person who stopped his swords, the master holding the slender sword, the girl Bell likes, and his companion - Ais.
The other one is Finn Dagan, the leader of the small human race who is so tall that others may misunderstand him as a child.
It was the group leader who punched him in the abdomen.
He couldn't understand that it was obviously the other party who made a malicious move to kill him, but his counterattack was not only stopped, but also punched him.
"What?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Are you blind? That guy's knife was slashing at my neck. If I don't fight back, will I wait to be beheaded by him?"
Bell became even more angry and glared at Amazon sisters again. These two people usually opposed him, but now they acted like it was all his fault. I really couldn't bear it.
However, after he said this, the eyes of the two people became a little strange.
Not only them, but also Ais, the group leader, Riveria and other people around looked at him strangely.
"What is this guy talking about?"
"How dare you tell such a lame lie?"
"He was obviously the one who wanted to kill people first."
"Just because you are Loki Familia, are you so arrogant?"
"You are unhappy with someone, there is no evidence, and if you are provoked, you will kill someone in the street. Are the family members so arrogant?"
"Shh, keep your voice down, you'll be in trouble if you hear it"
"You people are all..."
"Shut up, Bell!"
The unusually cold words from the group leader made Bell, whose anger threatened to burn away his reason, instantly cooled down by a basin of ice water.
After cooling down, he realized the problem.
No one really saw the opponent's move. At most, they saw the opponent touch the sword. In other words, they were hallucinating.
Damn it, did the other party use illusions on me?
"I'm really sorry. My team members behaved very badly. If..."
"It's okay, Captain Finn, no need to apologize. After all, you helped me get rid of suspicion, so they cancel each other out."
"Thank you"
Finn thanked him again, but he had once again raised the level of danger to the person in front of him.
As for why Bell suddenly acted like that and wanted to kill someone, he probably had a guess.
In the blink of an eye——
"How's it going? Riveria, have you found any traces of that guy's insidiousness?"
In an open area outside a weapons store, werewolf Bell said with gritted teeth to Riveria, the strongest mage in the team.
Of course, this gnashing of teeth is not against one of his own people, but in the hope that once traces are discovered, he will have evidence to demand justice from that guy.
"Sorry, no problem was found. Your mental state is not contaminated."
"That means that the other party may have secretly used some drug that can cause me to hallucinate?"
The medicine does not have to be taken, it can be caused by the gas floating around and being inhaled.
"I don't know this"
In fact, Riveria doesn't think it's medication, because every move of the other party is in everyone's sight, and you can't see any small tricks to use medication.
"I said, Bell, aren't you a dog? Your nose is so sharp, but you didn't smell it?"
"Asshole, who are you saying is a dog and I am a wolf?"
Bell looked angrily at Tiona Hiryute who said he was a dog.
"Aren't dogs and wolves similar? They are both..."
"You're looking for death, right?"
"Okay, don't argue. Bell, please tell me carefully how you felt when you got close to the other person."
