"Rosen, wake up!" A heavy palm patted Rosen's cheek again and again. Even if the opponent's strength slowed down, Rosen's face was still hot from being slapped frequently.
He only remembered that he successfully poisoned the Minotaur before he fell into coma. It seemed that he and Johnson should have been sent back safely. When he opened his eyes, as he thought, he saw the familiar ceiling of the room on the second floor, in twos and threes.
Broken thatch would occasionally fall from above, and you could hear some raging cold wind outside the roof.
Fortunately, he was found and sent back, otherwise he would have been freezing overnight in the dangerous and forbidden black forest, and would have faced the risk of being eaten by monsters. He glanced outside the window and saw that it was pitch black and it was already nighttime.
Rosen's dazed eyes slowly returned to normal. For the first time, the massive loss of blood put a heavy burden on his body. Then he noticed the person beside the bed. The one who slapped his face just now was Johnson. Seeing him wake up now,
Smile at him.
There was a family standing next to Johnson, and Uncle Zeno from next door was also here. In addition, there was a strange man in armor.
Rosen actually knew this man, but he rarely saw him in the village. He was the leader of the village guard, and Rosen had guessed that he would appear here.
"Rosen, how do you feel?" Aunt Eileen rushed to Johnson's side, asked for greetings and then looked at Rosen: "Are you injured anywhere? Does it hurt? If you can't hold on any longer, let's go to the town medical hospital?"
"I'm fine." Rosen was just a little tired and shook his head.
"I'm just saying, our second brother is definitely fine. He is a master of concealment. Even I can't tell. How can something go wrong with such a master? Maybe the coma is all fake?" Ada said inappropriately behind Irene.
.
Then there was only a sound, and Irene squeezed Ada silently to stop him from talking.
The man in armor behind everyone also took two steps forward, his eyes lingering on Rosen even more unscrupulously.
Feeling that the person behind them was approaching, Erin and the children remained silent. In the village, the strength of the guards was equal to their full strength. The more real power they had, the more say they had. And the leader of the guards was the most powerful person in the village.
exist.
"Did you bite the Minotaur to death?" the man asked in as soothing a voice as possible.
This question was obviously about Rosen.
But Rosen noticed that the opponent's right hand silently touched the hilt of the sword at his waist.
The sword at his waist is definitely of extraordinary value, as can be seen from the gems inlaid on the scabbard and handle. Even if one of the gems is picked out, it can cover the expenses of Eileen's family for several years. But Luo Luo
What Sen was more concerned about was his small and subtle movements, which revealed vigilance. Maybe it was what Ada had just said that reminded him of something.
What Rosen says next may very well serve as testimony to clear himself from suspicion.
A cold sweat broke out on Rosen's forehead. He did not raise his hand to wipe it. He kept his face calm and then shook his head.
"Didn't you bite him to death?" The man looked at Rosen with a gloomy expression, and the sword he held in his right hand was slightly unsheathed.
Hearing the sound of the sword briefly rubbing against the scabbard from behind, Irene's delicate body visibly trembled. Jenny next to Irene stared intently at the cold light, while Rosen remained calm.
"There is no definite evidence to prove that I am not human, so he cannot kill me on the spot." Rosen was very sure that he was safe. As long as he kept his mouth shut, he would be safe at least until he left the house.
The man looked at Johnson with cold eyes and said coldly: "I asked you just now, didn't you say you saw him kill the Minotaur with your own eyes?"
Johnson frowned, obviously aware that the situation was unusual, and even smelled a hint of murderous intent. He knew exactly what to say now: "I was fainted and confused at the time, and I only saw a black shadow biting the Minotaur to death.
, I cannot guarantee whether it is Rosen or not."
"Does that mean he can't rule out the possibility of being a demon?" The sword in the man's hand was pulled out another ten centimeters, and the bright reflection shone on everyone's faces.
The atmosphere suddenly became very depressing. Irene and Zeno swallowed at the same time. Only then did the children confirm that the captain of the escort they had invited to rescue seemed to be full of hostility towards Rosen.
"There must be something wrong. This child has always been timid. It is impossible to have anything to do with those monsters." Erin's voice was a little nervous. She wanted to say something on behalf of Rosen to ease some of the bad chilling atmosphere.
Zeno grabbed her hand and gave Irene a "believe me" look.
Zeno put his other hand on the man's hand that was about to pull out the sword. Zeno's hand was not completely attached to it. You could see that there was a certain space between them, and there seemed to be something in the palm of his hand.
Zeno, who was smiling apologetically, used his somewhat vulgar tone and spoke in a humane way: "You don't want others to know that you are embarrassing a child, right? I have watched this child grow up, and there is absolutely no problem. If something happens, I will
Fully responsible.”
The sword that the man was about to draw stopped moving.
The atmosphere of silence lasted for a minute.
The man's contemptuous gaze swept across Zeno's face, the sword was put back into its sheath, and the thing in Zeno's hand fell to the ground. It was a gold coin!
Not only was Zeno a bit wretched, in Rosen's memory, he was even stingier than Irene, but this time, he actually took out a gold coin to settle the matter. A gold coin can be used by an ordinary family for several months. And this kind of
Bribery can be counterproductive if done wrong.
Watching the gold coin fall to the ground, Zeno's heart felt as if the gold coin had crashed to the ground and found its place. Not accepting bribes shows that he is a person who cherishes his wings. This kind of person is unlikely to be shameless and bully a small person.
Zeno's lewd eyes looked at the man who was sheathing himself again.
A look of helplessness flashed across the man's face.
The action of half-drawing the sword just now was just to test Rosen. If Rosen was a child disguised as a demon, his actions were enough to reveal his true face. But the child remained calm, and the people around him reacted to his behavior.
Too vigilant.
He could only withdraw his sword angrily, unable to continue testing and suppress his doubts again.
"I want to see his teeth." The man made a request. He didn't want to give up just like that. As the leader of the escort, he had the right to ensure that no demon would be mixed into the village.
Moreover, when he found the two children, Rosen was lying on the Minotaur. He checked the tooth marks on the Minotaur's body and found that they were wounds caused by a poisonous beast. At that time, he also checked Rosen's teeth.
, no doubt like normal people, there is no clue.
When the energy of the demon is low, the physical signs of the demon may be weakened, and they look no different from ordinary people. Once they wake up and regain their strength, the corresponding characteristics will slowly recover. He only needs to re-check the condition of Rosen's teeth to confirm that he killed the Minotaur.
Is it him.
The man squeezed into the crowd, and Eileen and the children backed away one after another, not daring to stop him. Eileen had already ducked her head and did not dare to look at the results of the man's examination of Rosen's teeth. They all knew that Rosen had a pair of sharp tiger teeth.
, maybe outsiders don’t know it clearly, but they know it when they are in the same room as Rosen.
Johnson took a step forward to stop him, but was pulled back by Zeno, who shook his head at him. It is the duty and power of the guard to check and eliminate all negative factors for the village. Anyone who interferes will be the same as the devil.
Treat it like a family.
In an instant, the man arrived in front of Rosen in one or two steps. He stared closely at Rosen's closed mouth, stretched out his right hand, clasped Rosen's cheek with his index finger and thumb, and squeezed slightly, Rosen's mouth was moved.
Opened, revealing two rows of white and neat teeth in the mouth.
"There are no long, narrow and sharp tiger teeth?" The man confirmed again and saw clearly that Rosen's tiger teeth were no different from those of ordinary people: "Am I being careless? Could it be that there was another monster that killed the Minotaur?"
After checking it again with his own hands, the man felt a little embarrassed and said coldly, "If it's okay, I won't bother you. Say goodbye." He quickly left the house.
Seeing the guard captain carrying the murderous magnetic field leave, everyone in the room who was close to Rosen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh my god, I really doubted that he would kill Rosen with one knife!" Ada said fearfully.
Irene turned around and gave Ada a roll of her eyes: "It's just you who talks nonsense!"
Ada sneered and shrank her head.
At the same time, the man who had just left everyone had a gloomy look on his face and quickly returned to where the escort team lived.
He felt something strange tonight. Even if Rosen's child was not the culprit who killed the Minotaur, assuming there was a second monster, wouldn't it eat people? Why did it only kill the Minotaur?
Doesn't this mean that those two children are related to the monster that killed the Minotaur?
