    The place of conversation was placed in the tavern next to the hotel. Erwin entertained Rex here just last night, but this morning he had to sit with this group of people who had problems with Rex. The wonder and helplessness of life  It was revealed at this moment.  In fact, if Rex hadn't behaved in such a strange way last night that people had to worry about, with a pale face and a tired look, then Erwin probably wouldn't have said much to Lydia, a lady in her early thirties, today.  One sentence.  After all, the absurdity of a demon-hunting knight from the Punishment Institute, a subsidiary of the Titan Holy See, turning out to be a murderer. Although it is not as ridiculous as Erwin's time traveling into this world, it is still close.  Even Susan, who had a bad impression of Rex, understood that as a demon hunting knight, he would never become a murderer.  So the two of them planned to talk to Lydia, initially thinking that there must be some misunderstanding.  The two parties sat down in the tavern. The young waiter had already seen the tense scene between the two parties outside, but now he didn't even dare to come up and ask. He hid behind the counter and stuck out half of his head to peek.  Naturally, it was impossible for more than twenty people to come in. In addition to herself, Delia was followed by two subordinates, a man and a woman, looking at Erwin and Susan with awe but unkind eyes.  Seeing that Erwin frowned and had no intention of speaking, Susan took the initiative to take up the task of negotiation. In the past, she was often the one to receive various clients in the Gray Dove Mercenary Group, so she was not unfamiliar with negotiation methods.  "Before we talk, I hope to get to know the identities of both parties again" Susan's expression was serious and she looked directly at Lydia. Although she was shorter than her, her aura was not weak at all, "I am Su  Shan, this is Erwin. We are mercenaries just like you, and we belong to a group called the Divine Fire Mercenary Group. Although we both come from different places, we at least have some common language and do not need to use force.  "Get to know each other." Lydia looked stern. She could tell that this beautiful girl named Susan was accusing them of their plan to do something. If she had heard someone much younger than herself and from an unknown person before today,  If the little girl from the mercenary group dared to accuse herself like this, Lydia would definitely laugh out loud. Not to mention the reputation of their Thorn Flower mercenary group in several big cities in the hinterland of Turbo, just her  The name Iron Flower Lydia has the confidence not to allow other mercenaries to dictate.  It's a pity that Erwin's sword just now completely destroyed Lydia's confidence. Yu Jingjing, a strong man from the rank gate that large mercenary groups may not have, forced Lydia to kill Susan's  Accept the blame in full.  The famous female mercenary leader glanced at Erwin, who was silent, and then nodded with a worried expression: "I admit that we were indeed a little impulsive, but what the murderer did in Turbo cannot be forgiven.  Calm down, at least thousands of people died under his hands, including many innocent civilians, businessmen, and even nobles. You cannot protect him. "Turbo is the name of this hinterland in Louren?o, and it is also known by others.  It is called the hinterland of Turbo, located in the northwest area of ??the Kingdom of Louren?o. It is also the most economically concentrated place in half of Louren?o. Dozens of prosperous cities are connected in this area to form a transportation network.  Like the internal organs and blood vessels that supply the kingdom's movement.  Turbo means wealth in Portland, which shows how important this hinterland is to Lourenco, and the murderous maniac has had such a great impact here that it has made many people nervous. This is indeed  Not two young people can protect him, not even a powerful person.  "And if the murderer is allowed to continue on his rampage, sooner or later the upper-class nobles will be alarmed, and the dispatch of the army will be inevitable. After all, the number of thousands of victims is already close to a small military conflict.  Susan glanced at Erwin. The two of them had heard from Rex last night about what this murderer had done recently. It was hard to believe that there could be such a rampant person, but if this murderer was  Rex, who sat in front of them and talked quietly last night, was probably even harder to believe.  "We don't mean to cover up the murderer, but the person you are talking about may not be the same person we know" Susan shook her head and said, but one of the two women following Lydia  He interrupted her excitedly: "Why not? We came after him. Apart from him, you were the only ones in the town of Massawa last night. If it wasn't him, couldn't it be you?" Erwin glanced at  When she glanced at it, the female mercenary, who was about to say something with her mouth wide open, seemed to be strangled by the neck. The words that were held in her throat stopped abruptly, and she could only close her mouth with a hateful expression.  "Please forgive me, but many of our friends and partners have died at the hands of that demon. This is a blood revenge that must be avenged." Lydia said with a cold face. Although she was dissatisfied with ElTo scare his men, in the past this would even trigger a fight, but now he had to explain it with frustration, "So our emotions will inevitably be a little excited." "So you have already fought against a murderer?  Susan heard the key from Lydia's words and immediately asked, "Can you describe his appearance first?" "This" Lydia looked a little hesitant, but finally she saw them.  Describe the appearance of the murderer.  Wearing a black cloak, gray armor, and riding a blood-striped war horse, he wore an evil ghost mask on his face, so no one could clearly see what the murderer looked like.  "Oh? Since you can't even see the face, how are you sure that the person we know is a murderer?" Although Susan's face had no expression, her eyes showed clear questions, piercing Liddy like a sharp knife.  Ya: "The cloak, armor, mask, and even the blood-striped war horse are not the only ones. It would be okay if we caught people at the scene, but based on these alone, we would assume that all people dressed like this are murderers. It would not be too reckless.  "A little bit?" "Lidya didn't expect Susan's question to be able to grasp the key point. Indeed, no matter it is a cloak, armor or mask, these things cannot be used as the only evidence, because there are people dressed in strange clothes everywhere. Black cloaks  There are also many people dressed in gray armor, and even extremely expensive blood-patterned war horses, and many nobles specially buy them from the Black Eagle Grassland thousands of miles away as collections.  The reason why Lydia believed that Rex was a murderer was because they had united many mercenary groups and had fought against the murderer not long ago. Although they lost a lot of lives, the other party also suffered some minor injuries.  He came south alone, with the fastest Thorn Flower Mercenary Group chasing after him, and the gap was only one night's journey.  "And the timing and direction of Rex's appearance are consistent with the murderer they are tracking, so the Thorn Flower Mercenary Group will naturally identify him.  Although Lydia's momentum dropped under Susan's questioning, she immediately retorted with her own reasons. However, her reasons also had many loopholes, and Susan easily caught them in two or three sentences.  He retorted until Lydia turned pale and became speechless. The man and woman following behind wanted to interrupt several times, but they endured it because of Erwin's gaze just now.  Erwin has been listening silently, and at the same time he is also thinking about more things in his mind. Although Lidia's reason has many loopholes, it is not untenable, and it is even the most likely one. It is no wonder that  They, because no matter how you look at it, Rex is the biggest suspect.  Erwin and Susan both knew Rex's identity, and also understood that the possibility of this guy being a murderer was very small. They both believed that there must be some misunderstanding, but Rex's strange behavior last night made it even more difficult.  The misunderstanding became complicated and confusing.  What's even more uncomfortable is that neither Erwin nor Susan can tell Rex's true identity. Not to mention whether Lydia and the others will believe it, once Rex's identity is exposed,  , there will be greater resistance and trouble for him to investigate the final believers.  Now Rex has undoubtedly fallen into the limelight, whether it is the rumors about the murderer or the pursuit of these mercenaries. With Rex's appearance, once he appears, it will attract sharks to swarm like blood.  "You are covering up. If your friend is not a murderer, why don't you dare to reveal his whereabouts?" If it were a few days ago, Lidya would not be as insistent as she is now, but since then  After the town of Sava, the place going south will become connected in all directions and lead to various places. Lidia will no longer be able to accurately grasp the movements of the murderer as before, unless he can commit murder again, but that is not what Lidia wants to see.  of.  Moreover, this time the Thorn Flower came out to chase the murderer. There were originally more than 70 people. After two separate pursuits, more than 20 people were left. If they continue to pursue separately, if they really catch up with the murderer, it is not a pursuit.  , but simply gave away his head.  Therefore, after Lydia knew that the two young men in front of her might know the murderer's movements, she couldn't wait to know where he had gone, even if it meant arresting him and interrogating him.  Susan did not answer Lidia's words, but turned to look at Erwin. She had done everything she had to do, and it was up to Erwin to decide what to do next. Erwin sighed slightly, and then  He looked up at Lidya, whose face was flushed with excitement, and said: "We don't know his whereabouts. We just met by chance last night. In addition, as far as I know, he is also chasing the murderer." Lidya  The two mercenaries behind her were stunned for a moment, and then there was a look of disbelief on their faces.  Erwin did not lie when he said this, but since he waited until now to say it, Lydia would naturally think that he was looking for an excuse to protect Rex, and evenIt was said above that Rex was chasing a murderer, which was also seen as casual nonsense intended to deny Lydia's judgment.  Erwin was not surprised that Lydia would think so.  "I know you won't believe what we are saying now, but at the same time, I don't believe your judgment either." Erwin smiled faintly, "It's just that I don't need to prove anything. Is the person I know the same person?"  The murderer actually has little impact on me. If he is not, then I don't need to worry about it, because the truth of the matter will be clear when you catch him. If he is indeed a murderer, then I don't mind at all.  "Kill him." "Then you should cooperate with us and stop covering up his whereabouts." Lidia glared at Erwin, "Do you want to continue to watch him kill innocent civilians and let more people know his whereabouts?"  "I don't want to, but I don't have this responsibility or obligation. We are not from Louren?o, not even from the northern continent. What does the life and death of Louren?o's civilians have to do with me?"  ? Besides, I have already said that we don¡¯t know his whereabouts, it¡¯s just that you don¡¯t believe it.¡± Erwin felt that he was a model of ruthlessness at this moment, because Lidia¡¯s eyes were already red when he looked at him, and he believed it.  If she hadn't shown her [Claw Wind Swordsmanship] outside just now, this woman would definitely have been unable to restrain herself and pounced on her and killed her.  The cold and ruthless words were like a sharp knife. While inciting Lidia's anger, they also chopped her momentum into pieces.  And Erwin's words have made it very clear. He does not need to prove anything, and he has no obligation or responsibility to deal with any murderer. Regardless of whether Lidia believes it or not, and with the current strength of both parties, Lidia is completely unable to take it.  How about Erwin and the others?  "So, what do you want to do now? Continue to arrest us?" Erwin sneered, "Don't forget, you have wasted a lot of time here. I remember that Massawa leads to many places south.  If you don't continue to pursue me, the murderer will completely escape. " "You" Lidia almost couldn't breathe. She didn't expect Erwin to dare to be sarcastic at this time.  The most irritating thing is that she can't do anything, let alone capture Erwin. If they all go together, they probably won't be able to hurt this young man even a hair. Instead, they have to pray that the other party won't cause trouble for them.  As for continuing the pursuit, more than 20 people can no longer cope with the ensuing pursuit. If they want to stop and wait for the people behind to catch up, then as Erwin said, the small town of Massawa leads south to  In many places, the murderer would have already escaped by then.  Seeing that Lidia was so angry that she could not speak, Erwin stopped provoking her nerves. As for why he wanted to make this royal sister angry, Erwin was not seeking revenge because of what happened at the door just now.  The reason why he did this was because Lydia always had an attitude of disbelief towards him and Susan. No matter what Erwin said, this woman would probably have a lot of doubts, and then think that they were still covering up Lake.  Sri Lanka.  That's why Erwin wanted to show an attitude of being indifferent to the matter, and make clear the relationship between the two of them with Rex and Lorenzo, and then use two or three words to provoke her anger and turn the distrust into  Let¡¯s talk about hatred.  It's not that hatred is better than distrust, but in this situation, Erwin only needs to change her attitude to resolve Lydia's hatred for him and Susan, but distrust is like a thorn.  , it is difficult for both parties to cooperate smoothly.  Yes, Erwin does want to cooperate with Lydia, because he also wants to find out whether Rex is a murderer.  After today, no matter what the outcome is, Erwin will go to Rex to confirm.  It would be better to go with this group of mercenaries. If Rex is not, then the misunderstanding between the two parties can be resolved by the way. If Rex really becomes a murderer.  Although the possibility is very low, Erwin couldn't help but reach out and touch the Zantetsu Sword at his waist when he thought of Rex's abnormality last night.  "How's it going? Have you figured out what to do?" Erwin asked calmly.  "This has nothing to do with you. Go back to your hometown and don't set foot in our country." Lydia continued to glare at Erwin, like an angry female leopard. She wanted to tear the cold-blooded man in front of her into pieces.  Erwin didn't feel dissatisfied. He smiled faintly and stopped talking. He just squeezed Susan's palm with his hand under the table. The expression on Susan's face did not change, but Erwin stepped on him angrily under the table.  foot.  She already knew what this secretive guy wanted.  After clearing her emotions, Susan looked at the angry Lidia and said to her, "Maybe we can cooperate." "Wha, what?" Lidia and the mercenary behind her were completely stunned.    "Although we are not Lourenco's people, as we just said, we are mercenaries. Although we have no obligation or responsibility to help you, in turn, you can hire us to help." Looking at Lidia  With a surprised look, Susan continued to say with a serious expression: "Since you don't believe us, then come and talk to us in another identity, as an employer." It took Lidya a long time to digest it.  Susan's suggestion, her eyes flashed across their faces, and she couldn't help but ask: "What exactly do you want to do?" Seeing that the distrust and hatred in Lidia's heart had been suppressed by doubts, Erwin vomited  He took a breath, and then changed to a serious attitude: "We also want to know the true identity of the murderer, whether he is our friend or not, but we have no reason to do this, so you can hire us to find the person together.  " Erwin grinned, showing his white teeth: "If you agree, then this is the first commission of our Divine Fire Mercenary Group, and I can give you a 20% discount.  "Susan kicked Erwin again." Lidia fell silent. At this moment, she was struggling in her heart and didn't know how to answer Erwin.
