Woodrow was taken away, along with all of the disarmed guards. Soon, more people from the Gray Temple arrived, and began to record the names of the families of the deceased miners.
Not long after that, people from the city lord's castle also arrived, but they didn't participate in the investigation. Instead, they delivered food and clothing to the families of the deceased miners.
As they munched on their bread, a hint of life finally returned to their faces, and the pain that had been building up in their hearts for many years finally had a place to vent.
"Mr. Mak, there are a few details about that duel that I have to ask you about. How did you kill that 2nd-tier knight? Of course, he was already disqualified as a knight last year. " Brandli turned to Meg with a question. If it really was as everyone had said, then Meg had killed Warrick with a peach tree branch, then he was at least a 3rd-tier knight.
"It was actually Amy who did it; I was only putting on an act." Meg looked at Amy, who was eating bread with Jessica, and smiled. At a time like this, he naturally had to shift the blame to Amy first.
"So that's how it is. Little Boss is really a little hero who gets rid of evil and brings peace to the good." An enlightened expression appeared on Brandli's face. If it really was Amy who did it, then everything made sense. Meg really didn't look like a 3rd-tier knight.
Brandli turned to Mag with a sincere expression, and said, "I would like to express my gratitude to all of you on behalf of the Gray Temple. Last time, you helped to subdue a serial killer, and this time, you've done a great service to Chaos City."
"You're welcome." Meg nodded with a grave expression as he looked at the people who were stuffing bread into their mouths, and said, "I'm a little curious; just how many cases like this are taking place in Chaos City? This is a city of laws that promotes equality and freedom. If the laws have become a tool for some people, then won't the city become the cruelest prison? "
Brandli nodded with a serious expression, and said, "The laws give everyone more freedom, and that's what the Gray Temple and the city lord's castle have always been doing. However, just as you said, this incident has also served as a wake-up call for us. Some people are using the laws to do things that go against the original intent of the city. I'll report this matter to the higher-ups, and I'm sure the lord will make a wise decision."
"Alright, I hope to see a more beautiful Chaos City. I'll be taking my leave now." Mag nodded before pushing his bicycle toward Amy and the others.
"Amy's, thank you so much for saving us today." Rebecca had just received a few loaves of bread from a worker at the city lord's castle, and she was just about to kneel down when she saw Mag making his way over to her.
Jessica is Amy's friends, "Meg said with a smile,," Amy, Amy, can with us, with with you, with us with us with us with you? "
"Of course, please come in." Rebecca hurriedly nodded before holding Jessica's hand and entering through the door.
Meg took a glance at the workers who were disposing of the corpses nearby before entering Jessica's house with Amy's hand in his. The room was a little dim, and there was only one room. There was a bed in the room, and a very small window from which light shone in.
There was a small wooden table beside the bed, on which there was some cloth, needles, and thread. There was also a shabby little bamboo chair next to the table, and a small stove in the corner. There was a pot of porridge in the pot, and a small bag of rice beside it.
Aside from that, there was nothing else in the room.
"Amy's father, please sit here." Jessica dragged the bamboo chair over with some difficulty. She looked up at Mag with her clear black eyes, and there was a hint of gratitude in her eyes.
"Alright, thank you." Meg nodded with a smile before sitting down on the only chair in the room. The bamboo chair, which had been repaired many times with broken wooden planks, creaked, and he couldn't help but sit up straight. It would be awkward if the chair collapsed.
"Please have some water. We don't have anything to serve you at home. I'm really sorry. Also, the dragon coin you left on the lunch box last time saved my life. I really don't know how to thank you." Rebecca filled a chipped bowl with water and handed it to Meg as she looked at Meg gratefully.
Although the bowl was chipped, it was very clean. The water rippled slightly, and it was clear and transparent. Meg picked up the bowl and took a big gulp before looking at Rebecca with a smile. "You're too kind. Are you feeling better?"
Rebecca, who was about 30 years old, already had many fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She looked a little older than her actual age, and her face was a little sickly pale. However, compared to the people outside who were as hard as stone, her expression was much more lively. Especially her pair of black eyes, which were as clear and bright as Jessica's. Her face was also very gentle, and it could be seen that she was a delicate and pretty girl when she was young.
Although she lived in a place like this, Jessica was still lively and cute. Meg had already found the reason — she had a good mother.
"After eating the chicken soup you made, I felt a lot better. After that, I went to the clinic to get some medicine, and I'm more or less better now." Rebecca nodded gratefully and extended her hand. There was a gold coin in it. She said in a somewhat uneasy manner, "When they were fighting over it, I only found one gold coin. I'll return your dragon coin to you. I've already taken on some sewing jobs. Although the money isn't much, I can save a little every day. In two months, I'll be able to return all the money to you."
"Take this money. Just treat it as a gift from me to Jessica. You can buy some good food for the child to eat." Meg shook his head and pushed Rebecca's hand back. It seemed that she thought they were here to ask for money.
"No, I have to return this money to you." Rebecca didn't withdraw her hand. She looked at Meg with a determined gaze.
"Yes, Amy's father. My father said that if you borrow something from someone, you have to return it. So, we'll definitely return the money to you. I can also help my mother with things." Jessica nodded with a serious expression on her little face.
