But Fresius did not dare to have any thoughts about this. He led his men over and saluted him respectfully.
"Knight Red, you are here too."
Fabra-Red, this name may be unfamiliar to ordinary people, but anyone with a bit of class will find it well-known.
There is no reason, just because the leader of the Flintstone Knights of the Central Diocese is also called this name.
"Are you here to see her too?" asked Fresius after a brief greeting.
"This is a serious matter, you know." Red nodded to him, and the circle of golden beard wrapped around his lips and his rugged face made him look like an anthropomorphic lion.
"Then who is he?"
Flesius turned his gaze and looked at a cloaked man behind Red.
Is it really necessary to hide the head and show the tail?
"The refugees he rescued." Red explained briefly, "He witnessed the entire disaster, so he brought it with him for reference."
"Let's go."
Then he turned around.
"Don't keep Miss Detective waiting too long."
Chapter 58 Reasons
When Fabula-Reid and Fritius went upstairs, Xia Yibing had just pushed the girl into bed.
Although Hitzfeld repeatedly stated that she was fine and that the civilians were the ones who really needed to lie here, no one knew how she felt after all. Everyone thought that she must have been injured after being blown away by the explosion and falling to the ground.
Hitzfeld had nothing to say. After all, if it weren't for the feedback from reality proving that she was really fine, even she herself would have doubted whether this body could hold on.
After all, she is delicate and frail—it’s almost a character character.
They didn't care if she got back to normal or not.
After a commotion, the door curtain was pushed open. Hitzfeld turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a lion-like face and a handsome young man with short brown-red hair walking in.
There were many people following behind them, and all of them, including themselves, were fully armed.
The lion man was wearing a dark gold full body armor, which was definitely not just for show. Every time he took a step on the ground, the wooden floor would make a painful groan.
The brown-haired young man was a little more gentle, wearing only a black military uniform. However, he still wore armor on his shoulders and elbows. Just from the way he walked, one could tell that he was a soldier.
The only exception was that there was a cloaked man following behind them. Hitzfeld couldn't help but look at him a few more times, somewhat confused about what was going on with this person.
"Red...Sir!" Seeing the lion man, the group of people who were originally gathered around the bed were almost dumbfounded at the same time.
Xia Yibing, Zafira, Pippen, Grim... Ethan with a bandage, and even the sloppy Darent stood at attention and saluted the man somewhat stiffly.
"Fabula Red is the leader of the Flint Knights of the Central Parish." Xia Yibing then stepped back from the crowd and whispered to the girl, "He commands all the Flint Knights in the capital, and even the Golden Knights have to obey his orders!"
so smart.
Hitzfeld raised his eyebrows.
It is usually impossible for such a person to leave the parish easily and move around outside. The town of Elnak is not within the scope of the central parish anyway. She could not see him when the disaster happened before, but he is here now. She could only guess that Captain Red had received orders from someone.
"The guy next to him, Jean Flesius, is from the Second Division. He is Eugli-Souls' most trusted deputy and staff officer. Don't be fooled by his appearance."
"Everyone should know why we are here." At the same time, Fresius had already finished a brief exchange with Zafira.
"We need to have a thorough investigation into what happened in Elnak Town. I can represent the Second Division, and Knight Red can represent the will of the diocese. This is an appointment from the White Shadow Palace, please understand."
Even without the last emphasis, no one could say anything based on Red's identity.
Because he is the only one who is different.
The leader of the Flintstone Knights is only the most fanatical and powerful Golden Knight in each generation. The name of Guangfabra-Red is synonymous with loyalty. People may suspect the prince of betrayal, but no one will doubt him.
"Don't be nervous. After all, we have a common enemy."
Reid said, his voice deep and heavy, which matched the impression he gave to the outside world.
More importantly, he was obviously not a rough warrior. With just one simple sentence, he found the right entry point. Hitzfeld noticed that many people's tense nerves relaxed.
sense of security.
They felt an unparalleled sense of security from this man.
It seemed that as long as he was here nothing would go wrong and any problem would no longer be a problem.
"Ethan Doyle, right?" He first looked at the reserved Ethan, "According to the information I got from Vesta, you have the blood of a sinner in your body. Logically, you are not qualified to become a Shadow Lion. Villefort's behavior is cheating..."
Zafira couldn't bear to see this and wanted to interrupt, but Xia Yibing pushed him on the back, so he had to shut up.
"I admit all the charges regarding this matter." Ethan had bandages on his forehead and arms. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at anyone. "But there is one thing Mr. Vista may have made a mistake. I destroyed the files myself. This has nothing to do with Batty Villefort."
What stupid shit is he saying?
Zafira felt like she could no longer bear it.
It's fine to say this to other people, but why say this to Fabula-Reid?
You might as well just say to him loudly, "I'm just trying to fool you!"
"Really?" Red nodded. "I believe it for now."
This guy… ?
Even Hitzfeld's eyes lit up. It seemed that the general leader was a little biased towards them...
"Esun-Hitzfeld!"
Then, before she could be happy, the old man like a mad lion suddenly stared at her, especially at her exposed left eye.
"Tell me! Why did you stop Ethan Doyle at that time?"
A huge pressure is coming towards me.
In a trance, she seemed to see a setting sun, which looked particularly tall against the dim sky.
"Because I suspect he is part of the Seed of Destruction."
she said softly.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Not only were the people surrounding her stunned, but even Fresius was shocked and looked at her with incredible eyes.
"Do you know what you are talking about?" he said, "regardless of whether the operation is legal or not, Isendol has worked and lived in this system for more than forty years... and you suspect that he is..."
"Because of this, I am not asking for him to be locked up or put in quarantine."
Hitzfeld responded sharply.
She didn't back down, and her eyes met Reid's at the same time.
"This may be a conspiracy that has been planted forty years or even longer. This is not his intention. I know he doesn't want to do it, so even though I doubt him—"
She spoke to these people word by word.
"I believe him too!"
Hitzfeld...
Ethan looked at her profile, and a faint warmth welled up in his heart.
It turns out that she is not...
She is willing to trust me...
"make it clear."
Red brought out an old wicker chair and sat on it.
The wicker chair and the floor groaned in pain together.
"They all knew it, especially Asfen... He saw me coming into contact with that thing..."
Hitzfeld began to explain.
"I originally - I think you already know my ability. I can see illusions, about evil spirits. I also sensed that dream, and saw the scene of Eric Heidegger facing destruction more than 40 years ago."
"It was very unclear at the time, I mean... the second half of it was very blurry, with so many random fragments in it that I couldn't see clearly or understand how the disaster came."
"...Do you understand what I mean?"
Pippen, Zafira, and Grimm all shook their heads.
WTF?
What do you mean you don’t know how the disaster came about… Hasn’t it been figured out that the disaster was caused by the Death Tree?
She has described the miserable situation after the Death Tree successfully descended, so why can't she explain clearly how it descended?
"You mean, you only know that it is the Death Tree, but you don't know how the Death Tree managed to grow?"
Flesius interrupted.
"Yes."
The girl nodded.
"Take today's disaster for example. Some of you were not there at the time, but you must have known what happened here."
Everyone nodded.
"Then you should wonder: why does it grow so slowly?"
"If that thing is the prototype of the Death Tree, that means as long as it is given time to slowly devour and grow, it can become a real Death Tree. Don't you think this is too inefficient?"
She's right.
Xia Yibing frowned deeply.
At first glance, the tree demon is a very scary and troublesome monster, but if the prelude to the disaster more than 40 years ago was the same, it is impossible for the Security Bureau to be unable to respond at all.
In Hitzfeld's description, she saw "Amiron was almost destroyed instantly."
The monster couldn't do that.
This is very strange.
"That thing once transformed into a human form, and that form, based on the information I have, is likely related to Ethan's biological mother."
Hitzfeld continued.
She could feel the burning gaze coming from the side after she said this.
But she had to say it.
Whatever the outcome is.
She felt that Ethan was qualified to know the truth.
Chapter 59: Professional
After some explanation, the group finally understood what Hitzfeld meant.
The whole thing is actually very simple - the disaster that occurred in the town of Elnak was very different from what was expected.
The disaster forty years ago involved the Death Tree, and today's disaster also involved it. But compared to the terrifying giant tree that destroyed three cities almost instantly forty years ago according to the girl's description, the tree demon seemed too weak.
Maybe they are both related to the Death Tree and the Dead Woodland, but at least from the performance point of view, they are not the same thing.
"Maybe this is because, during 1941, the seeds had enough time to spread throughout the city?" Pippen suggested a possibility.
"By the time the Shadow Lion discovered the problem, the spread had already spread to a very wide area and was difficult to stop. Was that the effect of the sudden explosion?"
He did not question Hitzfeld's description. Not only him, but everyone present did not question it.
Because although they all lacked the girl's abilities and could not see the "illusion story of Lijia and Heidegger", they had all vaguely heard about Amiron being hit by a natural disaster.
It was indeed a very swift and terrible natural disaster... This can be directly seen from the number of casualties and the methods of some related records.
If the records are very detailed, the cause and effect are clear, and it clearly states who did it and whether the other party was brought to justice, then it means that Shadow Lion has a high level of control over the case.
