"Marshal …" All the soldiers went back to rest in disappointment. Although everyone was unhappy, it was a punishment after all, so they still accepted it. Legg also found Li Huailin. "Marshal, what's going on with the First Legion? I can't lead such a team at all."
"Calm down, Legg. I believe in you." Li Huailin patted Legg's shoulder. "Isn't the problem solved now?"
"But Marshal, that's not the problem. Why are these people …"
Before Legg could finish, he was interrupted by Li Huailin. "Legg, just lead the team normally. If there's really a problem, just tell me."
"Yes, Marshal." Legg still didn't understand what was going on, but since Li Huailin had said so, he could only follow the order.
"How's it going on here?" Li Huailin asked. "Is there a problem with the team's coordination?"
"Dramo and the others are doing fine," Legg said. Legg said, "When they saw how desperate their soldiers were, they said that as commander-in-chief, they couldn't lose to them, so they went to train with them. Now … They're still lying in bed, and they can't even get up."
Li Huailin nodded. No wonder they hadn't appeared yet. So it was because of this.
"But it seems that the soldiers are quite respectful of them." Legg continued, "But I, the deputy marshal, don't seem to be convinced by the soldiers. To be honest, I really can't take 23 hours of training a day."
"I know, I know. I can't take it either. Didn't I say that I wanted to be special? It's fine, it's fine." Li Huailin waved his hand.
"Marshal, can I really do this job well? I'm just afraid of delaying the marshal's plan. "Legg thought for a moment and asked again.
"No problem, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen you. Do you think there's a problem with my judgment?" Li Huailin said.
"Of course there's no problem." Legg immediately said, "It's just …"
"Alright, just continue doing that. There won't be any problems with me around." Li Huailin said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. What about that Guitalera? Is he still locked up in the First Legion?"
"Of course, Lord Marshal," Legg immediately replied. "I'm watching carefully according to Marshal's instructions."
Of course, the prison guards did not need to train with the prisoners, so there would not be a situation where there was no one to guard the prisoners, so Gittallera would not run away.
"Okay, take me to see him." Li Huailin nodded.
"Yes, Lord Marshal." Legg nodded, then led Li Huailin to the camp's prison.
The prison in the barracks was not as good as the prison in the main city. After all, the prison in the barracks was temporary, and the situation was a little bad. As soon as Li Huailin walked in, he felt a musty smell coming from inside. Of course, because it was a virtual environment, the stench could not be very strong. It basically told him that it was very smelly here.
"Lord Marshal, Lord Deputy Marshal." The two soldiers at the door saw Li Huailin and Legg and quickly saluted them.
"How is he?" Legg went up and asked. Right now, Earl Guitalera was the only one in the barracks prison. The others had already been killed by Li Huailin, so of course, the soldiers knew who Legg was asking about.
"We delivered food on time, but he doesn't look like he wants to eat. We definitely didn't mistreat him," the soldier said immediately.
"Okay." Legg nodded, and then said to Li Huailin, "This Chittallera looks quite desperate. He hasn't eaten anything yet, and has only drunk some water. It's been three days."
"Okay." Li Huailin nodded casually and walked in. In the prison, Li Huailin saw Earl Chittallera. Chittallera's current appearance was indeed a bit bad. His hair was messy and his clothes were dirty. It seemed like he had suffered a lot. Li Huailin nodded and gestured for Legg to leave first so that they could talk alone.
"Hey, wake up." After Legg left, Li Huailin kicked the cell door and woke Count Guitalera up.
"Huh? Your Excellency. " Count Guitalera also woke up in a daze. When he saw Li Huailin, he immediately leaned over. "Your Excellency, I …"
"You're not wrongly accused, are you?" Li Huailin said.
"This …" Count Guitalera was really speechless. He really wasn't wrongly accused. "But Your Excellency, think about it …"
"Okay, I don't have time to talk about this. Let me ask you something first." Li Huailin said as he took out a notebook. Of course, it was the notebook that recorded the secret treasures. Then, he showed it to Count Guitalera. "I heard that this notebook is yours. Take a look."
"Huh?" Count Guitalera looked at the thing in Li Huailin's hand and thought for a while. "Your Excellency, can you let me see it myself?"
"Sure." Li Huailin handed the notebook over because he wasn't worried about what Count Guitalera would do. Count Guitalera's impression of him was still very high.
Count Guitalera also looked at the notebook very seriously. But when he reached the end, he frowned. "Your Excellency, this notebook was written by me."
"Huh?" Li Huailin was a little stunned. This was a little different from Marina's testimony.
"But it's a little strange." Count Guitalera said. "In fact, this notebook was written by me when I was collecting the secret treasures. You see, it recorded a lot of information about the secret treasures and my research. But the problem is that I never found the last secret treasure. But the information of the last secret treasure is actually recorded at the end. This doesn't make sense."
"In other words, the information of the last secret treasure wasn't written by you, but the rest was written by you?" Li Huailin asked.
"This … I can't remember," Guitalera said. But looking at this handwriting, it seems to be written by me … Where did you find this notebook? "Count Chittallera said.
"Your butler gave it to me," Li Huailin said.
"Butler?" Count Guitalera was a little stunned. "Uh … Which butler are you talking about, Your Excellency?"
"The former butler of your family. I think his name is Karl …" Li Huailin said.
"Huh?" Guitalera was a little stunned. "Huh? I've never known that butler with the same name as me, and what you said is impossible. "
"Oh?" Li Huailin was a little stunned. "Why is it impossible?"
"Your Excellency, you should already know that I changed my identity after I went missing. Of course, I don't want my previous identity to be discovered. Although I'm about to join the First Legion and go to the legion's encampment, I'm still worried that I'll be in trouble if someone recognizes me when I return to the main city," Guitalera said. "Since I'm a scholar, I rarely interact with people, so there aren't many people who know me. In addition, my appearance has changed slightly, so people who are familiar with me shouldn't be able to recognize me. However, it's different for people who are close to me, such as the servants in my house. So, I discussed with Anthony and the others and used some means to get rid of the servants in my house …"
"Get rid of them?" Li Huailin was a little stunned. "In other words, your butler has actually been killed by you?"
"Yes, my butler is called Bafica. He's an old man in his sixties. In fact, Your Excellency, even if I didn't do anything, I don't think he would still be alive now. After all, he's so old," Guitalera said.
"Hmm …" Li Huailin nodded. The person that Guitalera described was completely different from the person that Li Huailin saw who claimed to be Guitalera's butler. In fact, Li Huailin was more inclined to believe Guitalera. Previously, Li Huailin had also noticed something strange. After completing the previous mission, Li Huailin didn't receive any notification about the change in this wealthy NPC's favorability. In theory, he had completed the mission, which was to help him retrieve the stone that his master had lost. No matter what, his favorability should have decreased a little, but it didn't.
In this way, there were only two possibilities. One was that the mission to retrieve the stone actually had nothing to do with him because Guitalera wasn't his master. Of course, the favorability didn't change. The other was that he knew … this stone was just a carrier, and the secret treasure was actually not the stone itself, so the favorability didn't change.
"Then he disappeared in the same way that Guitalera disappeared?" Li Huailin nodded slightly and muttered to himself. This person who claimed to be a wealthy merchant was really a little suspicious. However, the strange thing was that this wealthy merchant had family members. This didn't make sense.
Yes, when Li Huailin went there to investigate the disappearance last time, the wealthy merchant's family members were still there. His wife was still looking for him, and the guards at home were also looking for him. In other words, this person didn't appear out of thin air. If he was a fake, where did these family members come from? It was really strange how this situation could happen.
"Your Excellency?" Guitalera asked as he looked at the distracted Li Huailin.
"Looks like I have to make another trip to Sardinla City." Li Huailin nodded, then directly shouted outside, "Legg, Legg."
"Yes, Your Excellency," Legg immediately replied when he heard the shout.
"Bring a few people with you. We're going out for a while," Li Huailin said.
"Yes, Your Excellency," Legg immediately replied.
