After quickly wearing the second male lead who was rejected

Chapter 172 Rescued (9)

The flames touched the dry wood and ignited immediately.

The heat waves continued to hit Neve, and she could already feel her skin getting hot.

Is she going to die here today?

Niv thought desperately, she never thought she would die so hastily. She had originally planned to earn enough money in the royal city and then go home to take care of her parents.

Neve stared at the middle-aged man standing in front of her. If she died, she could go down to accompany Sidse. If she didn't die, she would definitely take revenge!

The fire grew bigger and bigger. The middle-aged man looked at the scene with satisfaction, and the smile on his face gradually widened.

Look at this wonderful flame, the damn witch should be burned to death!

Suddenly, screams were heard from the crowd. The middle-aged man frowned unhappily and turned back. "What happened? Don't you know that this is a serious occasion?"

But no one answered his question. A tall man in a black robe and a mask walked out from the panicked crowd, holding a scimitar.

"Who are you?" the middle-aged man asked coldly. He noticed that the masked man was also wearing gloves, and the machete in his hand was already covered in blood.

"Someone come, catch him!" The middle-aged man realized that something was wrong, and he shouted, asking others to come quickly and catch this mysterious man.

But no one dared to move, as they had all seen the masked man's ruthless killing methods.

Faced with life and death, they chose not to hear the middle-aged man's voice.

The fire was so intense that it stung her eyes, so she had to close them. But she heard the middle-aged man's screams, and then the ropes that bound her suddenly loosened.

When she opened her eyes, she saw herself being held in someone's arms, and the crowd in front of her was retreating. Niv realized that she had been rescued.

The crowd dispersed, and only the middle-aged man's men came over to help the middle-aged man who fell to the ground.

"Lord Vidian, what should we do now?" the subordinate asked cautiously.

Vid'an, the middle-aged man, covered his scratched right eye with a fierce expression. "You're a bunch of trash! Useless! I've raised you all in vain! Now! Immediately! Get out of here!"

Half an hour later, Zephir and his men hurried to Senluo Village.

His eyes were sharp, and he frowned as he grabbed a villager. "Where's Neve?! Where's the girl you captured?!"

The villagers trembled and said, "They were... taken away. Please, Sir Knight, let us go."

They hadn't cleaned up the central open space yet. If the knights went to search, their actions would be discovered. He could only pray that Zephir would not do that.

"Search." Zephir's voice was cold. He no longer believed what the villager said.

When Zephir led his men to the open space in the center of the village, he saw the pile of firewood that was still burning.

A bad thought came to Zephir's mind.

Soon, all the people in the village were caught together.

"Sir Knight, what have we done wrong to deserve being treated like this?" someone asked dissatisfiedly.

"What are you burning?" Yasuk asked coldly.

The villagers looked at each other, and no one was willing to speak first.

Zephir's expression grew even colder. "You kidnapped an innocent girl and even burned her at the stake without authorization. I will definitely report this to Her Majesty the Queen."

"Who said we kidnapped people? Are witches human? Everyone, do you think witches are human?" A tall and thin man stood up and asked loudly without any concern.

"Yes, yes." Several people hiding inside whispered to him.

"Okay, you are just looking for an excuse to avoid this punishment. The girl you tried to burn to death was his sister. You said his sister was a witch. Where is the evidence?" Gu Chang was tired of listening to it from behind. After Sidse rescued Neve, he had been standing behind the house watching these people discussing strategies.

Later, when they saw Vian trying to sneak away with his men, Gu Chang and Andrew caught him.

Gu Chang came over, dragging the tightly bound Vidrian by the collar, followed by Andrew, who was also holding a bound person.

When Vidian saw Zephir, he suddenly became excited.

"I said he is also a witch. He bewitched your hearts and made you mistakenly believe that an innocent girl is a witch. Tell me, is he a human being?" Gu Chang looked at the tall and thin man and said with a smile.

The tall and thin man said nervously, "How can they be the same? Witches are all female. How could he be a witch if he's a man? And we have evidence, that potion. Only witches can make potions."

"Where did you put the doctor? Have you ever been sick? Didn't you drink medicine when you were sick?" Gu Chang asked a series of questions, leaving the tall and thin man speechless for a while.

"I...we saw with our own eyes that the thief drank the witch's potion, and he died immediately after drinking the potion." Someone whispered to Gu Chang.

When the other villagers heard what this man said, they echoed and said that everyone had seen it.

"Is it him?" Gu Chang asked Andrew to drag the man he caught over.

When everyone saw the man's face, they realized it was the thief! And he was still alive. Everyone fell silent.

"Your Highness, why are you here?" Zefeier looked at Gu Chang and asked.

"I know your sister's employer. She told me that your sister didn't go to work, so she wanted me to ask you why your sister didn't come to work. Just when I went to find you, I heard passers-by say that Zephiel took people to Senluo Village." Gu Chang had arranged everything before coming. He had already greeted Kallisna, so even if Zephiel asked seriously, he would not be able to get anything out of it.

Zephir sighed, "Your Highness, leave the rest to me, you can go back first." Now that Your Highness is about to be conferred a title, at this critical juncture, we cannot allow others to seize the opportunity to deliberately discredit Your Highness.

Although the power of the Lund family and the Valenas family has been almost eliminated, there are still some that slip through the net.

"Okay, this man is the mastermind. I just interrogated him and he admitted that he bought your sister from Gray." Gu Chang nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Zephir said gratefully.

Next, Gu Chang rode back on horseback. Zephiel asked Yasuk to interrogate Vidian and other villagers, and he took people to the nearby woods to find Neve.

As time passed, Zephir felt more and more uneasy. He was not sure whether the person who took Neve away was a good person or a bad person. This feeling was very bad.

Neve's life or death is unknown, and it is his fault that he, as a brother, failed to protect his sister.

Zephir regretted letting Neve live with him. That way, he'd be the first to know if Neve was in danger. Zephir stood beside the tree, clenching his fist and pounding it hard against the trunk. His brow furrowed, and the regret in his heart grew.

"Zephir, your hand is bleeding." Yasuk came over and tried to comfort Zephir. "It's getting dark. Let's deal with these villagers and Vid'an first. I think your sister Neve should be fine. After all, who would come to save someone in flames? Unless that person really values ​​your sister Neve."

He learned from the villagers that a masked man rushed into the fire and took Neve away, and that the masked man also killed several villagers.

Seeing that Zephir didn't move, Yasuk stepped forward and patted Zephir on the shoulder. "Let's go, Zephir. Neve's encounter with this happened entirely because of Gray. You have to avenge your sister."
