Chapter 2062 Finding the Truth

Who is more morally tenable, the dead or the murderer?

Qiao An didn't know the inside story yet, so he didn't dare to promise lightly.

Hailaer saw that Joan was in an awkward situation, so he tugged on his sleeves, motioning to find a quiet place to talk.

Joan finally got rid of Mrs. Anderson and followed Hailar out of the house.

"Joan, just now I asked friends from the 'Sons of Liberty' association that the Asa horse bandits in the Vimul Valley are actually a militia armed under the orders of the Volsung family. The leader of this force is Your old acquaintances, Haakon Volsunger and Sluder Volsunger, can you use this relationship to ask them about the inside story of Captain Anderson's sacrifice, so as to give Mrs. Anderson an explanation. "

Joan thought the idea was good, and immediately took out the "communication stone" and sent a letter to Slude.

After waiting for two minutes, there was a wave of magic power in front of Joan, and a ball of red light emerged.

This surprised him deeply.

The "communication stone" can establish an "advanced spiritual connection" between himself and Slude. As long as Slude is willing, he can have telepathy with him. Isn't it more convenient than exchanging letters with "short message technique"?

However, for some reason, Slude rejected his request to initiate a telepathic connection, which made him a little uneasy...

Putting aside the complicated thoughts in his mind for the time being, Joan raised his hand to hold the communication light ball and read the information.

"What did the letter say?" Hailaer couldn't wait to inquire.

"Slood said she regrets the death of Capt. Anderson but does not intend to apologize for it."

Joan looked strange, paused, and continued to relay Slude's letter.

"She also said that the inside story of this matter is more complicated, and she can't explain it clearly in a few words, and she doesn't want to defend herself and the tribe, and invited me to go to the Asa settlement in the Vymur Valley to see it with my own eyes... ...to discover the truth."

...

On the first day of April 1624, on the great plain of Vigrid in bright spring, an open carriage pulled by three phantom horses was speeding westward.

Joan, Hyrule, Audrey, and Holden sat in the carriage, looking far into the distance, admiring the scenery of the wilderness, and talking in a low voice from time to time.

They embarked on this trip to the west at the invitation of Slude to see with their own eyes the hot land that the colonists and the aborigines competed for, and the main purpose was to investigate the truth about the death of Captain Bob Anderson. Mrs. Anderson explained the pain of her son.

Slude and Joan agreed to meet in "Grizzly Town", but Joan searched the administrative map of the Midgard colony, but couldn't find where "Grizzly Town" was located. Later, I searched on "Cloud Network", and I learned that this so-called Grizzly Town is located in the east of the Vimur Valley. The town has been established for less than two years, and it is the bridgehead of the current "Westward Movement".

Like this kind of land development hotspot towns in the west, most of them will not be marked on the map. Firstly, the updating and printing of the map always lags behind the actual land expansion. Town has yet to really take hold in Westfall. It looks quite prosperous today, but it might be destroyed by hordes of wild beasts or aborigines next week and turned into ruins.

Similar situations happened from time to time, and for the sake of safety, these colonial settlements with an uncertain future are usually not marked on official published maps.

Joan couldn't find the exact location of "Grizzly Town", so he directly cast a spell to teleport to the eastern part of the Vimul Valley, and brought three friends to a pasture with herds of cows, horses and sheep.

The shepherd dog smelled the smell of strangers, and barked vigilantly. The local ranch owner, an old man with a red neck, came with two young cowboys on Pegasus, both with shotguns slung behind them.

Seeing that the family came with bad intentions, Holden hurriedly waved to greet him, explaining that he and his companions did not have any malicious intentions, but just got lost and strayed into the ranch by mistake, and hoped that the owner could help them point out the direction to Grizzly Town.

The ranch owner saw that the four young men were very handsome and did not look like cattle thieves. He waved his hands to signal his two sons to put down their guns, get off their horses, and come over to question the stranger.

Knowing that Joan and the others were college students in the city, the old man immediately put on a respectful expression, carefully observed Joan's robe, bowed quickly, and asked his two sons to "greetings to Master Master" .

Holden smiled wryly when he saw this, and said with self-deprecation: "We are all college students. Because of our different majors and uniforms, we have different status in the eyes of the villagers. No stranger has ever respected me so much... ..."

"My little brother, what major did you study in university?" the old man asked a little embarrassedly.

"Academy of Arts."

"Oh, then your family must be rich!"

"I understand. What you mean is that the graduates of our Academy of Arts and Arts can't earn a living!" Holden added unconvinced, "Don't worry, I also majored in law! Double degree!"

"Oh! Mr. Lawyer, you will definitely make a fortune in the future!" A flattering smile appeared on the old man's face.

"Hmph! So it's a litigator, a vampire who bullies honest people!" The old man's youngest son muttered in a low voice, as if he had a prejudice against the profession of "lawyer".

The old man was very embarrassed, turned around and slapped his youngest son on the back of the head, told him to shut up, and apologized repeatedly to Holden: "You bastard is ignorant, don't be as sensible as a country bumpkin."

Holden rubbed his nose and smiled wryly, shaking his head to show that he didn't mind. Audrey and Hyrule would not be polite to him, and laughed gloatingly.

According to the owner of the ranch, Joan and the others learned that walking westward along the small river outside the ranch, Grizzly Town is just 40 miles away from the forest, across the valley forest, and on the opposite side is the "river valley" where the Asa aborigines live. Town", that is, the settlement established after the Logan family moved out of Shizhu Town.

Joan and the others plan to take a carriage to Grizzly Town for lunch, while waiting for the Walsunger brothers and sisters to come to meet, and then continue westward together, through the valley forest, to the destination of the trip, "River Valley Town", to inspect the local Asa The living conditions of the clansman——Joan doesn't quite understand how this has anything to do with the death of Captain Anderson, but Slude thinks there is a reason for her arrangement in this way.

Joan cast a spell to summon a "Phantom Carriage", greeted three friends to get into the car, waved goodbye to the ranch owner's family, and urged the horse to gallop away.

The owner of the ranch saw the carriage drifting away, his eyes were full of envy, and he turned his head and scolded his two sons: "Look at the master mage, and then look at you two unsatisfactory things! Alas, if your brains are smart enough, if you are willing Study hard, I will send you to college even if I sell all the iron! What is the future of being a horse herdsman for a lifetime? If our family cultivates a mage, even a lawyer, no one in the neighborhood should look up to our family!"
