Chapter 45 (1/2)

”Lyle's owner is dead?!”

Rao is that Loren is calm enough to get such a news in the morning, but he was shocked for a moment.

Standing in the alley outside the Lyle family house, hiding in the corner, he carefully looked at the house that was no different from the past. He couldn't see that there had been a murder the night before. Even the quiet was terrible, not even a little movement.

According to common sense, the death of such a rich businessman will certainly make a storm in the city, but now it seems that nothing has happened. Even when he got the news, he got it from the boy named ”hat” in front of him.

”I didn't lie!” probably aware of a trace of distrust in Lauren's expression, the hat quickly said, ”it was last night that I heard screams from the house when I was sheltering from the rain at the back door of their house. In the morning, the rich Lord Lyle was seriously ill, and the head of the family was replaced by the young master green Lyle!”

”Is there any other information?” Lauren continued. ”Is there anything unusual about their servants - something different from usual?”

”Abnormal?” the hat was stunned for a long time: ”it's hard to say abnormal. The old housekeeper who usually likes to go out in the morning hasn't seen anyone yet. Is it abnormal?”

There have been such great changes at home. It is not incomprehensible that this kind of personal servant has been subject to some small changes... Of course, it is also possible that he is no longer in the world.

Either way, the other party is obviously hiding. Whoever killed father Anthony now seems to have something to do with the second son of the Lyle family.

They may have to sneak in once to find enough evidence - before they destroy all the evidence.

But before that... Loren's eyes fell on the boy again, made the hat shrink his head in fear, and carefully looked at the wizard who was not much bigger than himself.

”Can you tell me a reason why you are willing to help me? Sorry, I don't like to owe people.”

”I, I just think you may need this news.” the boy quickly looked away and swallowed his saliva: ”I can't go back to the barn, so...”

”Although I'm not a rich man, but...” Lauren smiled, took out a small bag of silver coins from his pocket and handed it to the boy: ”I know how to be grateful.”

Then he stood up and turned away. The hat quickly put away the money bag and followed Lauren's back: ”you can still use me in the future, master Wizard - there's nothing I don't know in Gumu town. Besides, I'm small and no one will care about me. I can help you a lot!”

Looking at the boy's expectant eyes, Lauren hesitated for a moment... Indeed, if there were more such local snakes, it would save him a lot of trouble, and a pair of eyes could also help him find the blind spot - just like this time.

”That's it, hat. Help me keep an eye on the church.” Loren patted the boy's hat on his head. ”If you find any strangers, especially those who are obviously not locals, wandering around, tell me immediately.”

”Don't worry, wizard master!” patted the small pocket full of silver coins, swore the hat, said confidently, and then disappeared down the alley like a wild cat.

”I hope it won't be a wrong decision.” talking to himself, Loren turned and left the alley, and walked towards the Lyle's house next to the corner of the wall.

This is a very exquisite house, with high walls and three attics. It can even be regarded as half a castle in the countryside of Gumu town. It is impossible to build such a mansion just because of money. More importantly, the Lyle family is also a branch of an aristocrat, so they are allowed to own such a mansion.

Blood and status are the same thing in this world - people who don't even have a trace of noble blood in their body are destined to be poor forever, and the poor should always be poor. This is why Isaac's qualifications broke through the sky in vimpal, but it is still impossible to be accommodated by those apprentices who came from the youngest son of the noble and rich.

They can never accept the cruel reality that a guy who was born as a farmer and could not be more humble has more talent and wisdom than all of them combined multiplied by two.

Lauren, with a sneer on his mouth, looked carefully at the house - this kind of house with walls often gives people the illusion of safety. Most people can't turn in the nearly three meter high wall, and it's easy to be found if they want to use any props. It can be said to be a simple and crude means of anti-theft.
