Mysterious Catastrophe

Page 832

Aaron thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "Then... the new Baron, is Miss Catherine?"

"I don't know...I feel like it's impossible. When I went to the castle, Mrs. Lilith was already in charge."

Evie sighed.

……

Yanan Town.

When Aaron came to town, it was obvious that the atmosphere was very different.

Martial law was everywhere, and the sheriff led the soldiers to search house to house.

Aunt Sofia at the grocer was cursing because the soldiers had messed up a lot of her stuff.

Aaron went up with a smile, helped Aunt Sofia clean up the debris, and then came to the tavern.

The tavern was naturally closed at this time.

He showed disappointment, turned and left.

No one noticed that Aaron, who was walking on the road, had a smile on his lips.

'Didn't you leave?He must have been injured! '

Aaron gained a lot of useful information through this seemingly empty wandering.

Based on his experience, if he started from the castle, he might find useful clues!

Then, find that assassin!

Aaron didn't believe that the assassin didn't have superpowers if he could do this kind of thing and get away with it.

'But what happens when you find it?Taking in the other party... The other party repays the favor and imparts skills... Am I thinking too much? '

"At this moment, the entire barony is looking for him, no... the assassination of nobles is an enemy of the entire noble class. Even the previous enemy, Baron Roland, will issue a warrant..."

'And...the other party should be involved in a conspiracy. '

'It will be very troublesome to intervene rashly...and I don't have the strength to get into the whirlpool and get out! '

"Power..."

Aaron sighed faintly, and went back to continue preparing for the baron's funeral.

……

Baron Lancaster's funeral was a grand one and well attended.

But there are very few people who are really sad.

As if it was a routine, after the baron was sent to the grave, everyone began to sneer and sneer at each other because of various things... Finally, these self-proclaimed superiors still remember to maintain their status in front of the subordinates, and will not do such a thing. It's like a shrew swearing at the street.

To scold... probably go back and close the door before scolding.

Aaron watched with cold eyes, feeling as if he was watching a big scene, which was very interesting.

It seemed that the only one who was saddened by the Baron's death was Miss Catherine.

It's a pity that after three years, the other party is still a little girl under 14 years old. She is soft-spoken and can't do anything, even if she is made the heir!

'I don't think the old baron is stupid...he should have a series of plans for the establishment of an heir, at least to avoid chaos and loss of power...but, being assassinated suddenly, he didn't have time to implement it at all. '

Aaron thought about it, and then decided to go back to sleep.

It's none of his business anyway!

And he always believes that time is the greatest director, and he will always be given a chance to perform.

Even if not now!

Even if it wasn't on that assassin!

……

The baron's death was noisy for a while, and finally returned to a peaceful life.

In fact, no matter anything, the flash is accidental, and the ordinary is the mainstream.

Aaron also went on to resume his two-point and one-line life.

Except for the unexpected change of power in the barony, everything else is fine.

According to Mrs. Lilith's discussions with the knights, Catherine is too young, and before becoming a lord, she needs a guardian, that is, her sister.

Currently, baronies are managed by guardians.

And after Ivy got drunk, he told Aaron that everyone was betting on when Miss Catherine would die suddenly, or be forced into a husband who came out of nowhere.

Being sent away to marry far away is the best ending.

The power struggle among nobles is so cruel.

Before I knew it, several months had passed.

Aaron returned from his herb garden with a bucket in his hand.

Thanks to his previous experience, he is going to plant some herbal seeds that need a long year to grow, and then slowly wait for the harvest.

The light at dusk is like gold-plated, sprinkled on the bluestone road of the cemetery.

In front of a luxurious tombstone, there is a small figure, sobbing softly.

Aaron immediately bowed and saluted: "Miss Catherine!"

The little girl who was crying raised her head: "I recognize you...you are the gravekeeper here...my father...how is he doing?"

Aaron has always been tolerant of children's nonsense.

He replied with a smile: "The baron has obtained eternal peace..."

Anyway, I haven't cheated on the corpse.

"very good……"

Catherine stood up, as if she wanted to take out some rewards, but couldn't find something suitable, with a slightly embarrassed expression.

At this time, a young waiter ran over: "Miss, Sister Lei Lisi is looking for you everywhere, we don't have much time..."

He looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a thin body, but his eyes were piercing, looking at Catherine, which made Aaron feel a little strange: "This old... little pervert! No... Catherine Not yet of age!"

"Thank you for letting me know, Karin, I'm going back now!"

Catherine walked out of the cemetery with her skirt in her hands.

And at this moment, a snake jumped out of the grass.

choke!

Carlin's expression remained unchanged, and he drew the long sword out of its sheath in his hand, and split the little snake into two pieces.

He followed suit and left behind Catherine, like the most loyal guard.

Aaron, on the other hand, looked at Karin's back and narrowed his eyes slightly: "This person...isn't right..."

……

three days later.

Evie's house.

Tracy was breastfeeding a baby, and when Aaron came in and smiled at him, she didn't avoid suspicion.

In fact, everyone is familiar with...

Aaron didn't feel embarrassed either, and asked, "Is Evie there?"

"exist."

Ivan walked out of the room, seeming to be doing carpentry work in his hands, and a wooden sword was half-formed.

"Is this a toy for Thor?"

Aaron looked at the baby in Trish's arms.

"Yes, I hope he can become a powerful fighter in the future, and it would be best if he can get the canonization of a knight."

Ivy laughed and said, "Did you ask me to go to the tavern? I'm sorry...I've given up drinking."

Glancing at Tracy who was a little nervous, in the eyes of the other party, Aaron was probably the kind of cronies who led her husband into trouble.

'This is a married man...'

Aaron sighed in his heart, smiled and said, "It's not this...I have other things to ask you."

"Oh? Let's go."

Evie put down the wooden sword toy, and walked with Aaron along a stream in front of the house.

"A few days ago, Catherine went to the cemetery to pay tribute to the old baron... The castle won't blame me, will it?"

Aaron made a worried look and complained: "The people above always throw us troubles, it's really..."

"This matter...you don't have to worry, Mrs. Lilith is not going to blame a gravekeeper..."

Ivey thought for a while, and comforted: "As for Catherine...she ran out secretly, and her attendant is that Karin. I really didn't expect that the son of the cowherd could do this. It is said that he beat I turned over the knight attendant who was in charge of guarding Catherine, and ran out with Catherine..."

The cowherd is the person in charge of herding cattle in the village.

Because he has the right to use the cattle, he has a lot of status in the village, but in the eyes of the townspeople, that's all...

"He even knocked over the knight attendant, that's really amazing. Was he as powerful as before?" Aaron exclaimed.

In fact, that was what he wanted to inquire about.

That little guy from Carlin, it's kind of funny.

"I don't know...he used to be a villager, but there doesn't seem to be any rumors of a particularly serious fight...this time, Mrs. Lilith didn't deal with him severely, and might even try to win him over to become a knight squire, or even a knight in the future. …I don’t know why, but he actually refused!”

When Ivan said this, he obviously felt incredible.

A knight is the number one thug of the nobles, and is equivalent to half of the nobles. Once you become a knight, your class is completely different.

Many generations of free people have struggled for hundreds of years for this.

Although Ivey said that he hoped that Thor would become a knight in the future, it was just a casual remark, and he didn't think there was much hope.

But Karin actually rejected the olive branch of the acting lord.

This is shocking!

"Young man... Maybe it's because of love." Aaron sighed with emotion.

He felt more and more that he seemed to have encountered a plot in a third-rate knight novel.

It's probably the story of a shabby boy who picked up an injured tall man, then obtained a peerless inheritance, pretended to slap his face all the way, and hugged the beautiful woman back by the way.

As long as the skin is changed, it can even be used for both things!

"However, verification is still required."

Thinking of this, Aaron went back to the town and bought some supplies.

And, as if chatting casually, I chatted with Aunt Sophia for a few words, and after confirming the batch of items that Karin had bought, I felt more certain in my heart.

The other party was very smart, so of course he didn't buy some eye-catching items such as wound medicine through the grocery store.

But the consumption of one person is somewhat different from the consumption of two people.

As long as the suspect is identified, it is normal to find clues, and it is even suspicious no matter how you look at it!

'Time is indeed the greatest director... A brat is much easier to deal with than a murderous assassin. '

'Or... I'll play it safe and wait until Karin is about to die of old age? '

On the way back, Aaron kept thinking about something.

Then, he encountered a surprise!

At the gate of the cemetery, Karin, dressed as a servant, was waiting for him!

"Your Excellency Karin, what's the matter?"

Aaron almost thought that his plan that only existed in his heart was exposed, but his expression was still calm, and he asked.

"Gravekeeper Zorro...I heard that you have been selling potions on a small scale?"

Karin got to the point as soon as he opened his mouth.
