Chapter 71: Shared roots

After receiving the news, everyone rushed to the medical center as quickly as possible.

In the room was a young man, quietly looking out the window.

The breeze blew through his hair, exposing his slightly pale face to reflect the soft light in the sun. The deep-set eyes above the high bridge of his nose gave his face a three-dimensional look.

After seeing his unusually handsome face, the priest who treated him at the medical center couldn't help but think,

"If he had a better background, he would be able to gain some fame among the upper class just with his face."

Before he could continue thinking, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside, and the moment the door was opened, a group of people filed in.

The lineup was so large that the pastor had never seen it before.

He didn't even know how he left the room in the end. He just felt that he had one more thing to brag about with his friends while drinking.

The visitors were none other than the Lord of Leeds City and his party, and they couldn't wait to ask more information about Eddie from the surviving man.

In the room, Locke entered the room and spoke first.

"Yogel, I am City Lord Locke Carr. I am here to learn about Eddie."

The young man named Yogel nodded. He was not too surprised. He only heard Locke continue to speak,

"Tell us more about it."

Yoger looked out the window again, thinking of some past events.

Having grown up in the same neighborhood, Eddie was more than ten years older. Although they interacted too much, Eddie's life improved a lot after entering the Maister Manor, and occasionally he would have spare money to take care of the same poor people like them.

Especially for Yoger, maybe because the two people had similar experiences, Eddie introduced him into the Maister Manor, which he would never have entered, and served Maister as a member of the private army.

Yoger didn’t know where to start for a while, so he asked,

"What do you want to know?"

"Anything goes, and we'll make our own judgment about whether your story is of value to us."

"Okay, then I'll just say what comes to mind."

In the room, the voice of Yoger's narration slowly sounded. Everyone's expressions changed again and again during Yoger's narration, and they didn't know what he actually said.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Yoger could no longer think of any other details, so everyone thanked them and left in a hurry.

Only Tan Xiao and Barbatos were sitting opposite each other in the tavern outside the medical clinic.

"Do you think what he said is true?"

Barbatos asked, he really couldn't hold himself any longer.

"How can the character settings in this game be like this? Can this pass the review?"

Barbatos picked up the water glass and poured a sip of wine into his mouth. The expression on his face was complicated. He had too many things to say, but he didn't know how to speak for a while.

"It should be true, but I think he must be hiding part of it. He doesn't want us to find Eddie."

Tan Xiao also took a sip of the frothy beer. He frowned and recalled everything Yoger said.

"The description of Eddie's life experience should be true. Although it sounds a bit unrealistic, reality is always more absurd than the story."

Tan Xiao paused and continued,

"However, Yoger's attitude behind him made me feel that something was wrong with him. He seemed to be thinking about helping Eddie hide something."

"Really? Why did he hide it for Eddie? If I remember correctly, he was injured by Eddie, right?" Hearing Tan Xiao's judgment, Barbatos asked in surprise, but Tan Xiao continued But Barbatos couldn't refute his words.

"Then you must also remember that Yoger is the only survivor of Meister Manor. Remember, he is the only one!"

Tan Xiao took another sip of wine.

"If my guess is correct, Yoger's survival must be Eddie's deliberate action, and Yoger may have thought of this situation. Therefore, out of years of friendship as colleagues and the grace of not killing, Yoger I chose to conceal some of the facts."

"Ah? Brother, are you from the South? There are so many tricks and twists and turns. If you leave us there, there are so many troubles!"

Faced with Barbatos' sudden regional cannon, Tan Xiao choked for a moment. Before he could think of a reply, he heard Barbatos speak again,

"Then what should we do? Should we notify the city lord and ask him to torture him severely?"

"Facing someone like Yoger, torture is useless for what he believes in. We have to find other ways."

In the medical room, in the room where Yoger was, he was still sitting on the bed, looking at the scenery outside the window, motionless.

The image of Eddie looking back at him on the day he broke his ribs kept appearing in his mind.

At first he didn't understand why he spoke for Eddie, but he was hit and seriously injured by Eddie.

It wasn't until he woke up that he learned about the tragedy at Maister Manor from the mouths of the priests around him.

Everyone in the manor, including Mister, died, and the culprit was the wanted Eddie, his former boss.

He became the only survivor, and at that moment, he truly understood Eddie's look when he left. That look was not disdain but gratitude. It was a warning, telling him not to get close to the Maister Manor again.

This also allowed him to make a decision. Even if the other party became undead, he would not betray Eddie and provide the city lord with clues to find Eddie, even if he really knew that there was such a place where Eddie might be hiding. .

"Boss Eddie"

Yogel didn't care whether Eddie was an undead or a human being, after all, he was the lowest level of the people in Leeds City.

They have never enjoyed a good life, and more often than not they are oppressed and abused by their own people.

Yogel doesn't have any big hatred between races. The objects of his hatred are all humans of the same race.

"If possible, it would be great if I could follow Boss Eddie again."

After everyone represented by the city lord left, Yoger even had such an idea, and he got out of hand.

Once the seeds are planted, germination becomes a matter of time.

Everything seems to be just right. The human race that brought Yogurt endless pain in the first half of his life and the undead Eddie who protected Yogurt from death, superimposed on each other, became the best soil for the seeds of evil.

Evil thoughts kept growing in Yoger's heart. He had never wanted to destroy Leitz City, his hometown, so much.

In the City Lord's conference room, Locke was pacing in the office, seemingly cornered by the current situation.

He and Tan Xiao had the same judgment. As a city lord with keen observation, he also noticed Yogel's abnormality, but he had no reasonable means to get him to reveal more information, so he had no choice but to return.

"Are you going to use some means?"

Just when he was about to use gray means for the sake of the overall situation, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in."

The visitors were Tan Xiao and Barbatos. Tan Xiao bowed and said bluntly,

"Lord City Lord, I have a plan that may change the current situation."

 As the New Year is approaching, I would like to send you some small benefits to my book friends and wish you all the best in the upcoming new year.
