Chapter 121 I can tell at a glance that you are not human!
"stop!"
Looking at the people who were gradually approaching, Ren roared, drew out his sword, and said:
"What happened? What happened to Tarquin?"
"You almost killed the hotel owner, and you're still pretending to be innocent here?"
A voice sounded from the crowd.
"I?"
Ren pointed to his nose and asked:
"You said I killed Tarquin? I'm just an adventurer who took the path of Suleimand, and I have no grudge against the owner of the Twisted Annex. Why should I attack him?"
"We are not you, who knows why you committed the murder!"
One of the tenants said impatiently.
"Everyone present could see clearly that it was you who came down from upstairs, stabbed the weapon into Tarquin's chest, and then ran up the stairs again."
Another tenant said next.
"As for your question about why you didn't sneak out through the front door and chose to go upstairs instead, let the security team be responsible for this kind of thing. We are just ordinary tenants, not professional torturers. We just need to block you here and wait.
Just wait until the security team arrives."
"Ren killed someone? How is this possible?"
Hearing the noise from the corridor outside, Angelica and Leonina opened the door. They happened to hear the words of the tenants and were surprised for a moment.
"Everyone, if my companion is really the murderer, then we will not protect him."
The female mage rolled her eyes, walked out of the room, and said to the tenants blocking Ren's door.
"Suleimand is protected by gold, and no evil can escape. But before that, do we have to take a look at Tarquin's condition first. I am a mage, and I have a spell scroll to heal fatal injuries.
Maybe we can heal some of this poor old man's injuries."
Leolina's words made the angry tenants realize that the seriously injured hotel owner was still down there.
"Mage..."
After hearing Leolina's words, everyone looked at her with a hint of fear in their eyes.
"You can launch a few people to monitor my companion and take him to the first floor to prevent him from escaping before the security team arrives. However, I think the most important thing is to treat Tarquin's injury as soon as possible.
Then let Tarquin identify the murderer."
The female mage's handling method quickly won everyone's approval. If Tarquin wakes up and insists that it was this young man who hurt him, then everything will be settled.
After the tenants whispered among themselves for a while, they selected four strong men, surrounded Ren, and led him downstairs with a helpless look on his face.
"Leo, do you really think it was Ren who killed someone? He was..."
Miss Ranger quietly approached the female mage and bit her ear.
"Shh, don't let those people know about Ren's profession." The female mage bit back, "If my guess is correct, this is the trouble the little girl mentioned. Moreover, most of these tenants were instigated.
, the murderer is among this group of people. It is safest to be cautious and wait until the security team arrives."
The group of people were waiting for the security team to arrive and capture Ren, while the female mage was also waiting for the security team to arrive, revealing the opponent's true face in one fell swoop and completing the counterattack.
"Okay, Leo, you are smarter than me, I will listen to you."
Seeing her teammates so determined, Angelica's anxious heart was relieved and she stopped talking.
While going downstairs, the female mage also used the communication technique to quietly inform Renn, asking him not to reveal his occupation before the arrival of the security team, so as not to alert the enemy.
Renn nodded slightly to express his understanding.
To be honest, he also wanted to see who was directing this drama.
Arriving on the first floor of the hotel, the poor hotel owner Tarquin was lying unconscious on the bar with a pale face. The chest of his shirt had been completely stained red with blood. The dripping blood formed a pool on the ground below.
A small pool of blood.
"Rescuing people is the most important thing. We can wait until he wakes up to do the rest."
After saying something to the tenants, Leolina walked to the bar in a few steps, took out the honorary citizen badge, and activated the spell attached to it.
——Cure fatal wounds!
It has to be said that in this fantasy world of Erathia, the power of magic can always do things that the technology on Blue Star cannot, such as these magical healing spells that can instantly heal injuries.
The first-circle magic [Cure Minor Injuries] can heal minor injuries and pains such as bruises and bruises in an instant;
The second-ring divine skill [Cure Moderate Injuries] can instantly heal those injuries on Blue Star that require minor surgery, such as broken heads and bleeding;
The three-ring magic [treating serious injuries] can handle any major wounds, massive bleeding, internal bleeding, severe fractures, etc., it can handle them all and return you to a jumping-on-your-feet within a few minutes;
The four-ring magic [Cure Fatal Wounds] is like living bones and the living dead. As long as your soul has not entered the River Styx and still has a breath left, it can bring you back;
The five-ring magic [Resurrection of the Dead], as long as the body is intact and the gods are willing, the dead can be brought back to you;
The Seven-ring Magic [Resurrection] can bring you back even if you are burned to ashes!
Wrapped in the rich positive energy, the weapon wound on Tarquin's chest healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was completely healed in less than two minutes, and his complexion changed from pale to rosy.
"My lord is on high!"
Seeing this scene, some tenants who believed in gods couldn't help but pray softly.
Intermediate priests who can release [Cure Fatal Wounds] are too far apart from ordinary people, and the price of such a scroll in the church has reached 1,000 Golden Eagle Coins per copy.
This price is beyond the reach of ordinary people, even some businessmen with a small amount of money.
Therefore, for ordinary people, it is not an exaggeration to say that the scene before them is a miracle.
"Well."
With a groan, Tarquin woke up from his coma.
"Boss, you wake up!"
"Very good!"
There were sounds of surprise from the crowd.
However, Trankin's mood sank slightly among the crowd, but he did not become panicked, because he used the young man's appearance to attack the hotel owner. Even the young man's companion used his magic power to attack the hotel owner.
The magic brought Tarquin back from the brink of death, but it could not change the fact that "Ryan" was the perpetrator.
When the security team arrives, that Ren will definitely be sent to Suleymand's prison.
Once you enter there, it's not up to him to have the final say.
The nobles of Suleimand had many means to slowly manipulate this young man.
And he and his tribe could also use this incident to get in touch with the Hosto family.
Although the plan had a few twists and turns, it was still perfect!
Trankin said to himself in his heart.
"You, you murderer!"
Sure enough, the moment Tarquin saw Ren after waking up, he shouted to him emotionally.
"Are you planning to strike my chest again?"
After experiencing the ups and downs just now, the old man who walked around the line of death was a little out of control.
As soon as Tarquin said these words, almost everyone present turned their attention to the young man who was being watched by several strong men again.
The victims have already said that you are the murderer, let’s see how you can still make excuses!
"But boss, it was me who saved you."
The female mage on the side said with a smile.
"You? I remember you are not that bastard's companion?" As soon as the words came out, Tarquin suddenly froze on the spot.
Her companion almost killed him, but she pulled herself back from the brink of death...
Why is this relationship so complicated?!
What are these young people trying to do to an old man like this?
After realizing this, Tarquin felt that his clever mind seemed to be insufficient.
"Yes, apart from torturing an old man like me, what good will this do to them?"
"Who knows what conspiracy you have, but this bastard is the murderer who almost killed Tarquin. He must pay the price for his actions!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded from the crowd.
"We received a notification from the Golden Guardian that an accident occurred here. Can anyone tell me what happened here?"
At this moment, a well-equipped security team opened the hotel door and walked in. The leader of the paladin asked.
"Sir, that's it!"
A tenant quickly recounted what happened to the paladin who arrived.
"Is that so, young man? If you have nothing to say, then come with us to the police station."
The leading paladin looked at Ren and said in a deep voice.
However, he felt a sense of déjà vu from the other person.
"Sir, I am sure that my companion has been wrongly accused!"
At this moment, Leolina took the lead and said to the other party.
"Hey, miss, don't think that just because you saved Tarquin's life, you can tell lies!"
An inappropriate voice sounded from the crowd again.
It's him again!
The Meiyan mage, who had already been on guard for a long time, instantly recognized that the tone and timbre of this voice could not be said to be exactly the same as the one that had just been spoken. It could only be said that it was exactly the same.
At this time, if you still dare to take the risk, I can only say that you bastards are really brave...
The female mage sneered in her heart.
"Everyone, I have enough evidence!"
Before the Gonghuo guy could speak again, Leolina quickly said: "Ren, let everyone see your profession!"
What does career have to do with this case?
No one reacted subconsciously, but Trankin's heart sank slightly.
The development of things seemed to gradually deviate from his preset track.
"I am a true paladin."
Under the instruction of the female mage, Renn began to reveal his trump card, and a sacred but not dazzling light bloomed from his body.
Paladin?
The people in the hotel let out a muffled exclamation.
Feeling the genuine positive energy, the captain of the security team, Paladin Kane, nodded slightly.
He began to believe that his junior was wrongly accused.
How could he be a paladin?!
The moment he felt the positive energy radiating from the other party, Trankin began to curse madly in his heart. He realized that the most important part of the information he had received was completely wrong.
If he had known that the other party was a paladin, how could he have come up with such a stupid plan?
In everyone's impression, the vast majority (nearly 99%) of paladins would not commit such indiscriminate acts of killing innocent people.
"This is my honorary citizen badge."
Then, he showed his badge.
"I think the people in power in Lahar City would not be stupid enough to issue such a badge to an evil murderer, right?"
Finally, there is the celestial blade that shines with light.
"Very good, I already believe that this young man is not the murderer."
The moment Kane saw the celestial blade, he came to a conclusion.
"The weapons of the Seraph Angel cannot be lifted by evil people."
"Thank you for your trust in me."
Ren gave a slight salute to the other party, held the sacred weapon in one hand, and turned to look at the crowd.
"Next, I want to see who is playing tricks behind the scenes?"
"To be honest, I'm also curious, who gave them the courage to frame the paladin? I advise you to stand up, otherwise it will be too late by then."
Kane said while standing side by side with Ren.
While he drew his weapon, he whispered a reminder to his juniors.
"Young man, be careful of that bastard jumping over the wall and taking these civilians as hostages."
Seeing this, other members of the security team also drew their weapons.
The atmosphere of the entire twisted annex instantly solidified.
Looking at these nervous tenants, Leolina said softly: "Mr. Tarquin, please read the names of the visitors registered in the store's registration book. Those tenants who are read out please stand behind the guard. I
I think the murderer who created this conspiracy should still be among everyone."
good idea!
Renn couldn't help but praise in his heart.
It hadn't been more than ten minutes since the incident happened. Those bastards had no time to leave the hotel, and they obviously hadn't registered at the hotel.
Damn mage!
Trankin now hated the female mage not far away.
The opponent's move simply forced them into a blind corner.
Never let the hotel owner read the damn register!
This thought not only flashed through Trankin's mind, but his men also thought and acted in this way.
I saw a figure leaping up from the crowd and heading towards the hotel owner who was standing at the bar. But in the next moment, he was overwhelmed by sword lights and spells.
Yelank!
Looking at his men who fell heavily to the ground, Trankin felt that it was impossible not to feel sad.
But now, he is increasingly afraid to act rashly.
As Yelank was killed, his appearance gradually changed, from a businessman with the appearance of a middle-aged man to a humanoid monster.
A slender body, slender limbs, pale skin without a trace of hair, a featureless face, and a pair of large, swollen yellow eyes with long pupils in the eyes.
All of these are completely different from human appearance.
"Shapeshifter?"
The guard captain and Renn couldn't help but exclaimed.
Shapeshifters, aberrant creatures, as the name suggests, they have the innate ability to transform and can transform into any creature they have seen at will, even if they have only seen it from a drawing book, the entire Erathian world
A rare master of disguise.
Because of their supernatural ability to detect thoughts and change shape, shapeshifters prefer to slowly invade a community by infiltrating it. This is when one of their number takes the place of a murdered merchant or noble through the power of shapeshifting.
, other shapeshifters will disguise themselves as different identities depending on the situation, such as family members or servants, and then live off the victims' wealth together.
Although shapeshifters are not generally evil in nature, they usually keep to themselves and treat other creatures as objects of deception and fooling.
Huh, that's true.
Leonina raised her neck as graceful as a swan, sneering in her heart.
I can tell at a glance that you are not human!
Although some accidents occurred, Tarquin gradually stabilized his emotions, opened the register, and read each one.
As the tenants walked behind the security team one by one, the atmosphere in the hotel became more solemn.
Everyone knows that the most dangerous moment is coming.
