Who told you I am an NPC

Chapter : 26

"Ka-Kalenna..."

Big Nose stuttered as he spoke.

After Yan Yunqing narrowed his eyes and gave a dangerous look, his stutter was immediately cured, and he cruelly revealed the information he knew.

"I don't know Kalenna, I've just heard this name.

It-it was Dean who, once when he was drunk, mumbled this name!"

Big Nose was a little hesitant at first, but under Yan Yunqing's threatening gaze, he spoke the truth, and the more he spoke, the smoother it became.

"I'm not sure about the specifics, I just heard him say something about Kalenna not knowing what's good for her back then, that he taught her a lesson, and if Kalenna had been more sensible, she wouldn't have had to die or something like that..."

Big Nose swallowed nervously: "I didn't take it seriously at first, but later I heard the name Kalenna from a senior.

I asked about it, and the senior said Kalenna was a commoner genius from the magic academy six years ago.

It's just a pity that she encountered a demonic beast while she was out and died accidentally."

"That senior also regretted Kalenna's death very much and said a lot... mostly about how talented Kalenna was, how a commoner won the academy's grade-level competition, and how her teacher was so happy that he gave her several precious magic stones and scrolls... hmm, it seems many people liked Kalenna back then."

Big Nose showed a slightly guilty expression, "Because I had heard the name Kalenna from Dean before, I-I was just curious... I went to check, and well, according to the academy's records, Kalenna applied for an experiential training trip six years ago, but she encountered a high-level demonic beast in the wild, couldn't escape, and died."

"So I guess what Dean meant by teaching Kalenna a lesson was probably luring her into a demonic beast's territory or something..."

Big Nose observed Yan Yunqing's expression.

Although half of his face was covered by the mask, the exposed scarlet eyes clearly showed that their owner was in a very bad mood right now.

"Luring her into a demonic beast's territory?

Why would you guess that?

Do you have any evidence?"

Yan Yunqing asked.

"I'm really just guessing! I don't have any evidence!"

Big Nose hurriedly explained, "Th-those young noble masters all like to play like this.

Although Kalenna was a rare magical genius, she was a commoner after all, and the young noble masters love to play pranks on commoners..."

Calling the death of a person a prank, tsk.

Yan Yunqing was a little annoyed.

He continued to ask, "What is that Dean's status?

Which noble family is he from?"

Big Nose was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Dean... you don't know Dean?

He-he's the son of the Castellan of Seta City."

The son of the Castellan of Seta City?

Yan Yunqing felt as if a white light had flashed behind him, just like in Detective Conan, and all the known clues had connected.

Why was it that when Sunset Village was attacked, the villagers asked Seta City for help but received no rescue?

Because the attack itself was orchestrated by Dean, the son of the Castellan of Seta City.

Even the demonic beast was very likely brought there by Dean, just to teach Kalenna a 'lesson'.

So the questions now were, why was Kalenna targeted by Dean, and how did Dean manage to make the demonic beast attack the village.

Demonic beasts were simple monster units.

According to game records, demonic beasts had no intelligence and were absolutely hostile units that could never be tamed.

How did Dean manage to make the demonic beast attack the village?

"Do you know what grudge there was between Kalenna and Dean?" Yan Yunqing continued to ask.

Big Nose felt the displeasure emanating from Yan Yunqing and shrank his neck, "I don't know... Dean was drunk that time and just mumbled a bunch of things.

The academy wouldn't record this kind of thing!"

Even if it was recorded, it could have been altered.

Just like when Kalenna applied to leave six years ago, it was definitely not for experiential training, but because she had passed the junior mage test and was taking leave to go back to Sunset Village to share the good news.

But in the academy's records, it was written that Kalenna had applied for an experiential training trip and had died after encountering a demonic beast and being unable to defeat it.

"So you don't know any other news?"

Yan Yunqing rotated his wrist, "Alright then, let's first—" let you take a nap.

Before Yan Yunqing could finish his sentence, Big Nose interrupted in terror, "Wait, wait, wait—don't kill me, let me think, let me think, I must know some other information! I used to be Dean's lackey!"

Yan Yunqing: .

No wonder this guy even knew what Dean said when he was drunk. So he was Dean's lackey.

But to sell out his former boss so readily, was that really okay?

Yan Yunqing relaxed his clenched fist as requested, "Speak. If the information is useful, I won't kill you."

He hadn't planned to kill anyone in the first place.

Why did this Big Nose always think he was going to kill him?

Did he really look that ferocious? He was clearly very gentle, okay!

If the four who were knocked out had heard Yan Yunqing's inner thoughts, they would definitely have 'come back from the dead' on the spot and jumped up to accuse Yan Yunqing.

He didn't hesitate at all when he struck! With the fragile bodies of mages, a chop from Yan Yunqing's hand would leave them half-dead if not dead!

"Let me think, let me think... right, I remember!"

Big Nose suddenly said, "I heard from a senior that Kalenna was very popular because she was very beautiful, had strong magical talent, and was very kind.

Many people in the school confessed to her back then, and even His Highness the Prince expressed his fondness for her."

"But Kalenna never accepted anyone.

She always said she already had someone she liked very much, but there were never any males around her at that time, so everyone thought it was just an excuse."

"Back then, some people even said Kalenna was the unattainable flower among commoners...

could it be that Dean liked her and wanted to make Kalenna his woman, but Kalenna didn't agree, so Dean got angry out of shame or something..."

Big Nose carefully looked at Yan Yunqing, "And I remember, the day Dean got drunk, they had just been talking about partners...

The Castellan seemed to want Dean to marry a noble lady, but the other party said she already had someone she liked and was unwilling to marry.

Dean got very angry, feeling that he was being looked down upon, and after getting drunk, he mentioned Kalenna's matter."

Yan Yunqing frowned. Now that he mentioned it, the two matters could indeed be connected.

However, just because he was rejected, he almost slaughtered the entire Sunset Village with a demonic beast...

Could the status of the son of the Castellan of Seta City alone be enough to completely cover up such a big incident?

If he remembered correctly, Kalenna's teacher had involved the royal army of Bartovita in the rescue at that time.

How could the Castellan of Seta City have so much power to hide this matter?

Furthermore, the curse of Sunset Village...

Yan Yunqing wouldn't be surprised if people were killed to silence them, but that didn't make sense either.

They only killed the villagers who moved out of Sunset Village but turned a blind eye to the villagers who still lived in Sunset Village.

Even Kalenna's brother, Lawson, was still alive and well.

Wasn't this silencing a bit too crude?

Could it be that there really was some curse in Sunset Village?

Was the answer hidden under the fog Dean?

It seemed he had to pay a visit to the home of the Castellan of Seta City and visit that young master Dean.

Thinking of this, Yan Yunqing raised a smile and gave a gentlemanly bow to Big Nose.

Considering that the other was a bit dirty now, Yan Yunqing didn't straighten his robe for him again.

"Thank you for your answers tonight, sir."

Seeing Yan Yunqing like this, Big Nose finally breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his suspended heart.

Just as he was about to ask if his ropes could be untied, he heard Yan Yunqing continue.

"Then, please sleep quietly for a while."

Big Nose: ???

Sleep? Sleep what? He didn't want to sleep!

Then, another sharp pain came from the back of his neck.

His vision went black, and he fell forward.

The moment before he lost consciousness, Big Nose was still wailing in his heart: You'd better mean just sleep!

Dead people also sleep for a long time! QAQ

Yan Yunqing watched another person fall, clapped his hands, and took out his magic staff from his backpack to cast a Cleaning Spell on himself.

Yan Yunqing had no intention of returning the magic staves he had borrowed from the five people lying on the ground.

It would serve as a lesson for these guys, to remember that even five people walking at night could be robbed.

After admiring the magic stones embedded in the five magic staves and looking at the panel data revealed by the system's inspection, Yan Yunqing was very satisfied.

Even if he couldn't use them, he could keep them to sell for money.

Indeed, zero-cost acquisitions were the happiest thing for a player.

If it weren't for the fact that these few people were dirty, and Yan Yunqing couldn't get over it in his heart, he would definitely have searched each of them all over.

Seeing that all five people were down, Lilian came over and added a sleep spell, then fell silent as she looked at Yan Yunqing.

"What's wrong?"

Yan Yunqing put away the magic staves, tidied his messed-up clothes, and reconfirmed that there was no problem with the mask on his face.

He was about to pack up and go find the Castellan's house when he noticed Lilian staring at him without speaking.

"I really didn't expect you to be this kind of kitten at first." Lilian had a complicated expression, "I thought you were the super-enthusiastic, good-person type."

But today had been an eye-opener for her. So this was Yan Yunqing's personality?

What was the difference between this and a ruthless bandit?

Tying people up and beating them before asking for information, and then taking their magic staves after getting a satisfactory answer.

Yan Yunqing shrugged his shoulders, "Are you surprised?

I just have different ways of dealing with different people."

If the person in front of him was like Old Jason or little Yuli, he would still show a bright smile and make himself more friendly and kind.

But the five people in front of him now, he could tell from their idle chatter that they were no good.

This Big Nose who gave him information was even worse.

As a lackey, he was snooping around about Kalenna's affairs everywhere, probably wanting to use it as leverage against Dean, right?

It was just that when he discovered that Kalenna's matter also involved a demonic beast, something he couldn't afford to provoke, Big Nose gave up the idea of using it as leverage, and even left Dean's side, afraid that his probing into the other's secret would be discovered.

Tsk tsk.

He could be considered a person who knew how to judge the situation.

"Hmm... I am a little surprised."

Lilian sat on Yan Yunqing's shoulder, "But in a way, I'm actually a little relieved."

"Hmm?"

"People who are too kind don't live long."

Lilian said, "You being like this, on the contrary, is closer to the 'Descender' in the prophecy."

"Smart, rational, decisive... woah, you're a very capable kitten!"

"Thanks?... So about that 'kitten' nickname, why are you calling me that again?"
