I'm also trying to survive today [Western Fantasy]

Not long after leaving the city, Parry felt uncomfortable in his stomach. He suspected that he might have eaten something bad. He wanted to endure it, but it was really uncomfortable. In the end, he had to say hello to Julian under Roger's mocking eyes. Got into the woods.

Julian let go of the rein and let the horse trot forward slowly, not fast, and when Parry came back, he would catch up with them in no time.

Not long after, Parry came back, and Julian noticed that his expression was a bit tangled, as if he hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?" Julian asked casually.

Parry scratched his head and wanted to say something, but couldn't help but suspect that he might have read it wrong.

Roger couldn't stand watching, and sneered: "I said, what are you doing? You have something to say, what's the matter with being so hesitant?"

Parry hesitated for a moment: "I just found a dead body in the woods when I went there for convenience."

"That's it?" Roger looked like you were fussing over a molehill. In fact, it was true. Corpses are too common in this era. Poor people who starved to death, poor people who died in the mouth of wild animals, gangsters who died in battle , There are so many things, not to mention the woods in the wild, even in Monk City, how many people disappear quietly in those remote alleys a year.

"If it was an ordinary corpse, how could I be so embarrassed, it was a female corpse, I think... a bit like that Sissy." Parry wondered.

"What Sissy?" Roger didn't respond.

On the contrary, Julian was tortured by Bill just now, and the cause was Sissy.

He paused slightly, and pulled the rein: "Did you read that right?"

Wasn't Sissy sent to the capital by Anthony?How can you die here?

Parry nodded and shook his head, Roger said impatiently, "Yes or no, what do you mean by nodding and shaking your head again?"

"I'm not sure, that corpse... well, it looks a bit ugly, but I once saw a cloud-shaped birthmark on Miss Sissy's arm, and that lady... also has it."

"Go back and have a look." Julian turned around and walked back.

Parry and Roger looked at each other, and quickly followed.

Bill Natong yelled loudly this morning, and both of them could hear it clearly. It was clearly Sissi who was going to the capital, but she turned into a corpse, and appeared in the opposite direction from the capital. No matter how you think about it, something feels wrong.

Ben didn't go far, and Parry easily found the place where the corpse was abandoned. Julian took a look and realized that Parry's saying that the corpse was ugly was a euphemism, but in fact the corpse looked quite terrifying.

The bright red flesh and white fat are tangled together, densely packed with small wounds all over the whole corpse, the head of the corpse was smashed by something, and there is no visible appearance at all. If Parry hadn't discovered the birthmark, no one would have known about it. Miss Sissy, who was rumored to have married into a noble family, died here without a sound.

"Ugh..." Roger didn't expect the corpse to look so ugly, he was shocked and couldn't help retching twice.

"This corpse is like this... How did you recognize that she belonged to Sissy?" Roger covered his mouth and looked at Parry in disbelief.

Parry motioned them to look at the wrist of the female corpse. I wondered if the skinner was not skilled enough. There were indeed a few pieces of skin left on the limbs of the corpse, and there was also a piece of skin left on the arm. There happened to be a cloud-shaped birthmark on it.

Julian didn't have a good impression of Sissy, and he didn't have much contact with it before, so he didn't have much impression of this birthmark, but he believed that Parry was right, so there was a high possibility that this lady was Sissy.

Julian's face darkened, and his fingers moved unconsciously. He had taken forensic science courses when he was in college. Although he didn't enter that system later, it was no problem to do a simple autopsy.

Judging from what he observed, Sissy suffered a lot before she died. He turned the corpse and found that there were many shallow knife wounds on the corpse. These wounds are not fatal, but the pain caused It was enough to make a spoiled young lady collapse.

Julian couldn't help frowning, that Anthony had a good plan, and Miss Sissy was also well-known in Monk City. If she disappeared suddenly, it would be hard for others to say, but Bill would definitely track it down. There are still a few of her little nobles. If they join forces to investigate, maybe they can really find out something.

But if Miss Sissy decides to get married and leaves here, such a reason is enough to deal with those men who love her. After all, Sissy has always been indifferent to men in the past. If she really decides to marry someone else, they may be sad , but it is acceptable, just like Bill.

At that time, it would be better if no one is investigating. In case someone asks Anthony, he can also make up a story that Miss Sissy died at the hands of thieves. If there is no proof of death, no one will doubt him.

"Go back to Monk City." Julian frowned, put Sissy's body into the space package, and got on the horse.

Parry and Roger hurriedly followed, and the group returned to Monk City not long after leaving the city.

Julian didn't intend to tell Bill about it. He had already grieved for Sissy once, and there was no need to do it again.

There was no one in Qianqian's house anymore, except for a few old servants, she didn't have any relatives.

Since the old servant said that Sissy was married, it was obviously bought by Anthony, and there was no point in going to him again.

Julian came to the church and walked directly through the church into the backyard. The priests he met on the way greeted him kindly. As a close friend of the great knight Owen, he didn't need to inform him when he came to Owen.

"Why are you back?" Owen knew that Julian would return to the territory today, and was a little surprised to see him come back.

Julian got Sissy's body out, and when he told the story, Owen couldn't help frowning.

"What do you want?" Owen didn't say anything about redressing Sissy's grievances, but just asked Julian what he meant.

Julian also thought carefully about what he could do, and finally came to the conclusion that there was nothing he could do.

After all, everyone knew that Sissy and Anthony were very close, but now that Sissy died, he had no direct evidence to prove that it was related to Anthony.

Moreover, given his relationship with Sissy, it was not his turn to seek justice for her.

Therefore, he came back this time mainly to remind Owen to pay attention to this Anthony. He has an intuition that this matter will not end like this.

The two exchanged, and the matter was temporarily put aside. When Julian went out, Owen sent him to the door of the church. When passing by the church, he happened to see a few civilian women crying silently. Kneeling piously in front of the goddess statue, chanting words, Julian listened to it when passing by, and then couldn't help but stop.

"What's wrong?" Owen asked.

Julian's brows were almost knotted. He walked up to the women and asked softly, "Excuse me, is anyone in your family missing?"

The women obviously didn't know them, but they could tell from their clothes that these two people were definitely not something they could offend, and they were a little panicked.

"Don't be nervous..." Julian persuaded softly: "I just passed by and heard you praying to the goddess, hoping that she can help you find your child. Is that so?"

Julian's deliberately soft voice comforted these frightened women very well. In addition, he looked like a delicate young man at this time, about the same age as the children of these women, which made them unknowingly Then he relaxed.

The leading woman looked about 50 to [-] years old, and the wrinkles on her face were filled with the vicissitudes of life. Julian knew that her actual age must not be so old, but the life of the common people was too difficult, and the years of hard work made their appearance Much older than actual age.

"My lord..." The woman grabbed her apron nervously, and said in a sad tone: "Yes, my lord, our child is missing..." She couldn't help covering her mouth and crying up.

The other women were affected by her, and they also thought of their missing children, and they all couldn't help crying.

Julian was at a loss for a moment, and looked at Owen nervously.

It was also the first time for Owen to see Julian showing such a helpless expression. He was amused in his heart, but he didn't miss anything on his face.

He looked at these women with sharp eyes, and said lightly: "Don't cry now, you are all believers of the goddess, and the glory of the goddess will protect you. I can't guarantee that you will find your children, but I promise , will definitely let you get a result."

The promise made by a holy knight was obviously very powerful to these civilians. They all wiped away their tears and looked at Owen quietly.

Owen did not say that he would help them find their children, because everyone knows that in this day and age, disappearance basically means death. return.

A result that Owen promised means that he will deal with this matter, no matter whether people can come back or not, they will not let them live or die without seeing their dead bodies.

These women are obviously also mentally prepared. After all, such things happen from time to time in the lives of civilians. It's just that they are unlucky, and this time it happened to them.

"Okay, tell me, how did your children disappear? Is there any connection between them?" Julian clapped his hands, attracting the attention of these women.

With Owen's endorsement, these women also trusted Julian, and slowly recounted everything they had experienced.

Julian noticed that the missing children were both boys and girls, and their ages were concentrated around the age of 12, and each of them had an above-standard appearance.

The earliest of them disappeared about half a month ago, and the latest one was four days ago.

The son of the woman who just spoke was the first one to go missing, and she first came to church to pray, and then slowly met several other praying mothers, and learned that many good-looking children were missing.

Julian narrowed his eyes slightly. If he remembered correctly, that Anthony seemed to have come here more than half a month ago. If these things are related to him, then...

Startled, he whispered to Owen, "I need to go out of town."

Owen looked at him puzzled.

Julian explained in a low voice: "I suspect that the place where I was afraid to find the corpse might be someone's abandoned corpse. I will go back and look for it, maybe there will be other discoveries."

Owen nodded, indicating that he could just leave it to himself, then stopped Julian who was about to leave, and asked Kay and Evans to take a few knights with him.

"Be safe," he said to Julian.

Owen Diary:

I really don't understand what that Anthony is thinking, isn't it good to live?Why do you want to make trouble on my site?

Yes, I have no evidence, but the question is...does such an obvious thing need evidence?

Julian looked a little angry, although I don't think he should be angry about some irrelevant people, but I know he is kind, and it is because of his kindness that I like him so much.

Since Julian intends to deliver justice, I am his most solid backing.

I don't care about justice, but I care about Julian...
