The fire in Colin's bedroom was already extinguished by the time the first ray of sunlight reached Graycastle.

Fortunately, non-flammable rocks make up the majority of the structures in Graycastle; otherwise, the fire might have destroyed more than just this one room.

The housekeeper Aemon stood in a disorganised room, hands concealed, gazing blankly at the burned corpse in front of him.

"Dong, dong, dong"

There were loud footsteps, and then a towering figure entered the space.

"Aemon, I've had the castle sealed, and I've increased security at all of Graycastle Town's entrances and exits. I don't think we can let the murderer get away this time, hmm."

The visitor was three metres tall and had a black bear's strength.

Although his entire body was covered in heavy armour, he lacked a helmet, exposing a large, spherical head that was hairless. It was sufficient to destroy Graycastle since he had a face full of flesh, a vicious expression, and a large combat axe in his hand covered in blood. The town's children were terrified and sobbed together.

Knight Rego, you are appreciated for your hard work. Aemon did not turn around; instead, he continued to stare at the scorched body, albeit the focus in his eyes was a little hazy, as if he were contemplating something.

Lei Ge observed this and groaned, "Hey, let's arrange the young master's body and bury it after the master comes back." Lei Ge assumed the elderly butler was upset at the young master's passing.

Aemon remained silent.

Rego leaned down close to Eamonn and whispered: "Eamonn, I didn't see Knight Carter today. Rego patted his bald head, assuming the elderly butler was blaming himself. I believe..."

There is no need to tidy up here, Aemon told the servants who were still cleaning up the debris in the house after hearing Carter's name caused his drowsy eyes to sharply condense. You may descend.

"yes."

I remember that three years ago, you and Carter once participated in the knight competition sponsored by Count Uman? Aemon questioned the towering Rego as the servants departed.

Rego was somewhat perplexed. Even though he couldn't figure out why Aemon had just brought up the last knight championship, he nonetheless said, "Was that three years ago? It appears to be. Hehe, that time I really defeated him.

Yes, you shot him off his horse, fractured his arm, and caused him to lose two teeth, Aemon grinned.

"Hehe." When Rego spoke of his stellar record, he felt a little humiliated, but he was also very perplexed. "Why are you talking about this right now?"

Do you still recall which of Carter's two missing teeth was on the left or the right? Eamonn persisted in his questioning while waiting for a response.

How could I possibly know this? Rego was a little nervous, and he was very bewildered and disappointed with Aemon's response.

Rego's attitude was ignored by Eamonn, who instead flashed a sinister grin and said, "If you can't remember clearly, you can go and take a look for yourself right now."

Rego scowled and fixed his copper bell-sized eyes on Aemon for a considerable amount of time. He finally bent down and reached out to open the corpse's mouth after realising that he wasn't joking.

"Crack!"

Aemon's mouth twitched as he observed Rego, who had uncoordinated hands and feet, snap the corpse's entire jaw off.

Rego was startled as well, and he quickly attempted to put his broken jaw back together.

Okay, stop it, and examine his teeth more closely. Aemon was completely flabbergasted as he observed Rego's clumsiness.

"Oh, right, hey! Indeed, his lower left gum has two gaps in it. Does Carter still have his left tooth?, Rego enthusiastically turned around and inquired while his eyes were beaming.

Evidently, this careless man was also aware that there was a problem with this corpse.

Eamonn sadly shook his head and said, "I don't know which two teeth Carter lost back then."

Rego scowled and was ready to respond when he heard Aemon add, "However, I know that Master Colin has never lost any teeth." slowly again.

"That's right!" I said. Rego abruptly sprang to his feet and yelled.

Then, it appeared as though he realised his voice was too loud and hurriedly lowered it: "So, this corpse is not Master Colin at all, but that bastard Carter!"

"No." Carter has slain the young master, Aemon grinned and shook his head. You must now organise the populace to detain this terrible traitor.

"What?" Rego once more asked, "Are you stupid?"

Think about it. Why did the young master start this fire? Aemon sighed and carefully explained. And why did he depart without bidding me farewell?

Are you suggesting that the young master purposefully torched this body to make people believe he is dead? Rego stroked the young master's round bald head and appeared to comprehend.

"Yes."

"Why did the young master do this?" you ask.

"Perhaps he wants to see Carter's back? What does he intend? Or perhaps he wishes to remain anonymous. In short, we can work with the young master to resolve this dilemma because he has a strategy of his own. Continue to do it.

"Okay, I get it." "I'm going to order the arrest of that bastard Carter," Rego declared as he walked outside.

Rego's tall back vanished from view beyond the door, and Eamonn thought to himself, "It's possible the young master has lost faith in us."

"Why am I not trusting you?" "What I mean by that is that I will pay you half of the commission first, and the remaining half will be waiting for you to introduce me to a man who is going to fall," Colin remarked with a smile to the elderly mercenary in front of him. You'll get it after the caravan in Eagle City, I promise.

When I show you to the caravan, what happens if you refuse to pay the remaining balance? It is clear that the old mercenary was dissatisfied with this manner of payment, which involved paying the deposit first and the balance later.

Do you believe I need that little cash? A gold coin was removed by Colin, who then juggled it in his hand.

Instantly widening, the old mercenary's eyes followed the gold coin up and down.

There is no way that those at the bottom of society, like him, could use copper coins, which are the norm, silver coins, which are uncommon, and gold coins, which are only accessible to aristocrats and wealthy individuals.

I would like thirty copper coins, then. As soon as the old mercenary realised he was dealing with a fat sheep, he started to raise the price.

Twenty fragments. I'll find someone else if it's more.

"Deal!" Colin threw ten copper pieces, which the elderly mercenary joyfully caught before taking the lead.

After some time, the two entered an old bar in Graycastle Town's west section.

called "The Bearded Tavern."

Colin entered and found that this tavern was, in fact, deserving of its name. At first sight, it appeared that practically everyone who was drinking inside had beards.

Evidently, the elderly mercenary knew this location well. He walked Colin inside and greeted everyone.

The two walked over to a large table in the tavern's corner. A bearded man seated at the head table was the target of the old mercenary's brief mutterings while he was hunched over.

The beard man gave Colin a couple quick glances in the direction of the veteran mercenary's finger before waving for Colin to approach.

"This is Lord Saru, the Fire Fox Mercenary Group's leader. Second-level fighter Lord Saru is on his way to Falling Eagle City. With their staff, you'll be secure without a doubt. The bearded man was originally presented to Ke Lin by the veteran mercenary.

Then, with a clearly more alert attitude, he turned to face the bearded guy and said, "Lord Salu, this is my nephew. Don't think he's weak; his martial arts talents are actually extremely good.

He's your nephew, right? The aged mercenary was interrupted by Saru, who grinned.

"Yes...yes!" The elderly mercenary coughed a little.

Don't stare at him, he doesn't resemble me, he swiftly said. The key justification is that this boy looks a lot like my brother-in-law. Additionally, I've been running around outside for a very long time, and my old face has lost most of its attractiveness. You see, when I was younger, I was attractive and had a remarkable temperament.

Is your nephew a knight? Saru scoffed and interrupted the old mercenary once more.

The old mercenary looked to be instantly choked by the neck when he heard the word knight, and his boastful words choked in his throat.

Colin's pupils immediately shrank.
