Roland sat at the desk in a daze. He didn't expect that someone would dare to come to the castle. If Nightingale hadn't discovered it in time, he would have been murdered.

Who is this time? Sister San Wang or other brothers and sisters? Do you want to be so anxious? Five years of fighting for the king's order, and it has only been a few months since Roland slapped the table irritably. It's simply outrageous. Can you still make yourself have a good winter?

The sound of footsteps sounded outside the door, and Chief Knight Carter Lannis pushed the door in, "Your Highness, the identity of the deceased has been found. Seven of the eight corpses were members of the former patrol team, one of whom was unknown. The other two were still alive, one was a witch... No, after being treated by Miss Pine, he still did not wake up. The other had been taken to the dungeon and was being closely guarded."

Patrol team? I knew that this team raised by the former lord was unreliable. Roland gritted his teeth and thought that there were actually eight of the ten people, and not allowing this group of people to join the militia was indeed the right choice.

"That person is locked up, please remind your subordinates to keep a close eye on it and don't let others commit suicide by taking poison like last time!"

"Last time... that?"

"Ahem, nothing," Roland shook his head. It seemed that he was called out by the nightingale in the early morning, and even his head was confused. "Anyway, I want to know everything from him, who commands, who contacts, who buys, and who will leave these to you to investigate."

"Yes, Your Highness," Carter did not leave immediately after saying that, but instead knelt on one knee. "This time I asked the assassin to sneak into the castle is my negligence. I hope your Highness will punish you."

"Enough, you were not in the castle at the time, it had nothing to do with you."

"Then..." Carter hesitated, "Can you tell me who stopped the assassination at that time? I saw from the scene, they..." The Knight swallowed, "They seemed to be killed by the same person, and they had no power to fight back."

"You can tell all this?" Roland said curiously.

"If the situation is evenly matched, the scene will not be so clean, and the wounds will be all kinds," Carter whispered. "Everyone fell in a small warehouse. Apart from blood and corpses, there was almost no place to be destroyed. The big boxes that store cured meat did not even leave any sword marks on it. In other words, the man wandered in a small open space without any cover. I am bluntly, your Highness, this is simply incredible."

"So that's it," Roland nodded. He understood what the other party meant. In theory, no matter how strong a person is, he will fall into an extremely unfavorable situation after being surrounded. In actual combat, it will not seem to be surrounded as in the movie, and people are still on the ground one by one. Attacks in blind spots in vision will be particularly fatal. Therefore, the correct countermeasure is to rely on the terrain and environment to always face the enemy head-on.

However, the Nightingale is not an ordinary person.

"No matter what, you should do what you should do first. This person cannot show up yet. I will tell you when the time is right."

Although the Chief Knight was loyal and reliable to her and knew that Anna and Nanava were witches, Roland still chose to hide the existence of the Nightingale. Because she was different from the other two witches, she did not belong to her. The reason for staying in the town was only for Anna. Behind her is the witches' co-sponsorship association, and she will leave here one day.

Carter took his back with a look of loss.

Yes, Roland thought, but the point was not whether he was a friend or an enemy, but what Nightingale said.
