Chapter 79 Skeleton Carriage and Hog Town
The next day, Herot brought the carriage given to him by Dorothea from the game world into the manor, and replaced the ghost horse with a skeleton horse.
Halot asked Kurt to find a skeleton to serve as the coachman. Helot put on a formal suit and took Bresini, Firollo and Kurt to Hog Town in a carriage.
Different from the low profile last time he went to Hog Town, this time he wanted all the residents of Hog Town to have a good look at what the Claulund family is and what the undead of the Claulund family are.
In the carriage, Firollo, sitting opposite Helot, kept fiddling with his new clothes. This is a dress sewn by the maids for her. The style is based on the student uniforms in the town's schools. A small lady's suit is paired with an over-the-knee skirt, white stockings, and a pair of small round-toed leather shoes.
After Firoluo put on this outfit...he had dark circles under his eyes, looking like a primary school student who had poor grades and stayed up all night doing homework.
Breshini sat next to Herot. She put on the dress and high-heeled leather shoes. Sitting there dignifiedly, like a lady from a big family.
Mainur's training for her was very effective.
But, I still can’t see where she hid the sword.
Kurt sat with Filolo. The aura exuding from the little girl made him very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but feel terrified. He knew that the girl next to him seemed to be a dull human girl, but she was definitely a very terrifying undead spirit.
The Claurend family has grown again, which is a good thing!
The soul fire in Kurt's eye sockets was beating, showing that he was in a very good mood.
The skeleton carriage left the woods and arrived at Hog Town.
Children who were playing outside the town saw a skeleton carriage driven by a skeleton driving towards them. They all screamed in fear and ran home. The townspeople they met were also frightened. avoid. Soon there were no people on the lively street. People hid in the houses on both sides, looking at the carriage made entirely of bones through the cracks in the doors and windows.
The wheels rolled over the road paved with bluestones and drove smoothly to the door of the town hall.
After receiving the news, Detective Morpheus arrived with a team of armed police officers, protecting the town hall behind him. At this time, some bold townspeople gradually gathered together, and the chatter was mixed together, making the central square of the town very noisy.
After getting Helot's permission, Kurt opened the car door and walked out.
After getting out of the car, Kurt straightened the wrinkles on his tuxedo and raised his chin slightly. This action did not look arrogant, but rather graceful.
“Dear Inspector Morpheus! My master, the current head of the Claude family, Mr. Helot Claude, came to attend the town council at the invitation of the mayor of Rhineham. Hearing. Please go and report, don’t keep my master waiting.”
Morpheus did not move, he looked at the skeleton carriage with the door closed, and did not speak.
At this time, someone in the crowd of onlookers shouted: "Get out of Hog Town! You murderers and undead souls who steal children, you are not welcome in Hog Town!"
However, before the onlookers could be heard, the townspeople were With agitation, a flying knife shot out from the carriage. The flying knife didn't fly very fast, and it even circled in the air above the crowd before stabbing it down. Some of the townspeople let out a scream and fell to the ground.
Then a shadow shook, and Bressini was already standing outside the skeleton carriage, holding a long sword in her hand, her blood-red eyes glowing red. She walked toward the townspeople with her sword in hand. The violent aura emanating from her body scared the townspeople back, and the injured person who fell to the ground was revealed.
The man was stabbed in the thigh by the flying knife thrown by Bresini, and the toxin on the flying knife completely paralyzed his entire leg.
Breshini walked over, stretched out her hand...the flying knife withdrew from the wound and flew back to her hand. Bresini was condescending and said contemptuously: "If it weren't for my master's kindness, you would be a dead man!"
After saying that, Bresini grabbed the man's leg, dragged him back to the carriage with one hand, and then threw him in front of Morpheus.
Helot said in the car: "Inspector Morpheus! This man accused me and my undead servants of 'killing people' and 'stealing children'. According to imperial law, the minimum crime of false accusation is three years' imprisonment. The maximum punishment is to be sent to Northern Xinjiang to be a slave.
Ask him if there is any evidence to support his accusations against me!"
The man was lying on the ground and dragged along. There were blood marks on his body and face. When he heard that the maximum penalty for false accusation was to be sent to Northern Xinjiang, the man looked at Morpheus in panic. Although he didn't say anything, he looked like he was asking for help.
Morpheus's expression couldn't help but change. He didn't expect that Helot would move so quickly and accurately find the person he arranged to mingle with the townspeople.
The entire central square became quiet, and the townspeople's attention was focused on this accusation. Their intention to sway public opinion...failed!
Morpheus showed a smile and said to Herot in the carriage: "Mr. Claude! This is not the place to hear the case. Please hand him over to our police station, and I will definitely give it to you. A satisfactory answer. "
The two magistrates stepped forward to lift the man on the ground, but Bresini swung his sword casually and made a deep sword mark on the bluestone ground.
The Sheriff stopped.
Helot said: "Inspector Morpheus, I just want to ask, it won't take too long. Hey, friend on the ground, do you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, I can treat you as nonsense. No more pursuit. If you say you have evidence, then I will formally prosecute you for my reputation."
The man on the ground quickly said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Claude. ! I’m talking nonsense, I have no evidence.”
Helot laughed and said: “Inspector Morpheus, this is just a small role, you shouldn’t mind. Let's do it."
Morpheus heard Helot's pun and said with a smile: "If Mr. Claurund doesn't pursue it, of course our police station will not file a case, but it will definitely be nonsense without evidence. If it’s not right, I will take him to the police station for a good education and let him know what a decent person should do.”
The two police officers stepped forward again, but this time Bresini did not. Stop him and let them carry the man on the ground away.
At this time, a staff member from the town government office ran out: "The mayor, please ask Mr. Claude to attend the town council hearing."
Morpheus led the sheriffs back and let the door open. out.
Butler Kurt opened the car door and Helot walked out of the car.
While passing in front of Morpheus, Herot said with a smile: "Inspector, you know the truth better than anyone else. I advise you to stop in time, before things are irreversible... ..."
Morpheus said: "Mr. Claude, the undead do not belong to this era, the Claude family should have bowed out long ago"
