Therefore, they develop feelings of love for each other.

Well, that should be it.

This is something that Brother Meifei mentioned in a casual chat a long time ago. No one in the organization has ever heard of it, and even the master has never heard of it.

Although I don’t know how Brother Murphy knows all this strange knowledge, I feel that what he said makes sense.

And I should be in the effect now.

Therefore, I definitely have no feelings for Brother Murphy.

It was just that his heartbeat quickened because of the crisis, and he transferred this emotion to Mephigo.

Yes! That’s definitely the case! It’s the suspension bridge effect!

Before Murphy sensed something was wrong and asked, Sharon summarized the strange emotions in her heart.

Then she slowly nodded to Murphy and said.

"Then Brother Murphy, let's see you tomorrow."

She smiled at Murphy again.

"See you tomorrow."

Although Murphy felt puzzled by Sharon's alternating silence and laughter, she didn't say anything more.

After all, there is still a lot to do now.

I have to go find Old Jed tomorrow to report what happened today; and also the task that Riley assigned to Dickens.

And the new memory that suddenly awakened when he saw Dickens.

Murphy felt the heavy workload and couldn't help but sigh.

He didn't think any more and turned directly to walk towards the road on the left, which was the direction of his home.

And after he left, Sharon stood there for a while.

She just stood there, watching Murphy leave without saying a word, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Only after she could no longer see Murphy did she begin to move towards the road on the right.

That's the direction to the "tavern".

Because Holt works in the "tavern".

So Sharon and her family actually live nearby.

Chapter 38 The Fourth Memory

Early the next morning, Murphy came to Old Jed's alley. He planned to discuss what happened yesterday with Old Jed.

Also, about that memory.

At that time, the moment Murphy saw the fat pig lord, Dickens, some memories of the past came to his mind.

In the original world line, Old Jed would also receive a commission from Beshop and go to the maze.

But the difference from now is that he will die at the claws of the dragon for saving Murphy.

The "rats" in the city of Lars began to panic.

Because Old Jed, the leader they had always followed, died suddenly.

And his heirs, Murphy and Sharon, had not fully grown up at that time.

Fortunately, Murphy had already been selected into the team of brave men at that time.

Although he is still just a young boy, his identity is different from before. He can temporarily replace old Jed to deter other enemies who have ideas about the organization.

With the help of Murphy, Holt and some of the loyal elders who followed Old Jed from the beginning gradually controlled the deteriorating situation.

However, just when they thought the crisis had been completely resolved, they suffered a heavy blow.

First of all, the key to the problem is still Murphy.

Because he has joined the brave team, he can't stay in Lars forever.

When the brave man summons him, he must leave here and follow the brave man to gain experience.

Murphy herself also felt guilty and remorseful towards Old Jed, and did not dare to continue facing the people who stayed.

Because he knew that all the changes were caused by himself, after helping to control the situation, he directly gave up the inheritance left by old Jed and left everything to Holt and Sharon, father and daughter.

After he responded to the hero's call and headed for the royal capital, the city lord Dickens took action.

He has actually been waiting for this opportunity.

Old Jed, who was previously the boss of the organization, was the Viscount of the Kingdom of Leiden, making it difficult for him to take direct action.

Although old Jed gave up his title, the kingdom and Earl Patrick did not take back his title, so even if he himself did not want to accept it, he was still a nobleman.

Viscount, S-class adventurer, gangster, thief, villain, these titles that are almost impossible to appear at the same time were all given to Old Jed.

These titles also made Dickens always wary, so even if he suffered losses, he did not dare to take direct action against the "rats".

However, without old Jed, the organization was in disarray.

With just one word from Dickens, the "rats" would become a mob attempting to rebel and disrupt public order. After all, they were really a group of thieves and gangsters.

And he had reason to use the knights to eliminate them directly. Even if the "rats" exposed what he had done, it would be nothing more than the smear and rumors made up by the thugs before their death.

Moreover, because the leaders were no longer nobles or brave teammates, but a few ordinary thieves, the knights had to obey Dickens' orders.

In fact, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of the weirdo Murphy, Dickens would have taken action long ago.

But it doesn't matter, Murphy will leave here eventually, and this is the opportunity he has been waiting for.

After Murphy left, Dickens quickly organized knights and private soldiers, and united the nobles and wealthy businessmen who had been visited by the "rats".

Dickens and other nobles labeled the gangsters and thieves in the city, as well as some poor people, as rebels, and launched a plan to eliminate them. They would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go.

It's not that Sharon and the others didn't resist, but it was pointless.

How could a gang of thugs possibly defeat the knights who are part of the regular army?

Although Sharon had done a good job, and before that, Old Jed had never given up on training the "rats" and had never been stingy with arming them.

But they couldn't win because the gap in strength between the gangsters and the regular army was too big.

Not to mention that the nobles in the city were all on Dickens' side, working together to wipe them out.

This cleanup lasted for a long time.

But at that time, Murphy was still following the hero around and going to various academies for training.

However, transportation in this world is quite inconvenient, and information exchange has to rely on letters, which means he has no way of knowing what happened to Lars.

So, by the time he returned to Lars and learned about this matter, everything had already been settled.

Most people died in the massacre, and the few remaining survivors escaped from here with their lives barely alive.

The same goes for Sharon. No one knows whether she died or managed to escape.

In short, Murphy never saw Sharon again.

At that time, he could do nothing but tell the brave man about this matter, and then let the brave man report this matter to the organization in the royal capital that was somewhat similar to the Supervisory Commission.

And then... the matter was left unresolved, as if someone had helped Dickens suppress it.

Even the brave can't do anything about this.

After all, when it comes down to it, the hero is more inclined to the side of the church.

But in the Kingdom of Leiden, the power of the church is no match for the nobles, so although she wanted to help, she was helpless just like Murphy.

In short, Dickens was not punished in the end.

Even the royal capital believed that he had made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion, so he was transferred back to the royal capital and promoted.

He also achieved his ultimate goal, which was to make sure there were no more poor people in Lars.

After all, he almost killed all the poor people.

Such a person did not get the ending he deserved.

It’s not that Murphy hasn’t thought about revenge, nor has he thought about finding an opportunity to go to the capital and secretly get rid of Dickens.

But he couldn't.

When he returned to Lars for the second time, it was already the eve of the hero obtaining the holy sword and preparing to go to the demon territory.

Therefore, even if he wanted to go directly to the capital to seek revenge on Dickens, the people in the team would stop him.

Moreover, even if he really went to the royal capital, he would have successfully eliminated Dickens.

Well, if he was discovered to have killed a noble in the capital, he would not be able to escape punishment even if he was a teammate of the hero.

Not only that, he will also implicate others.

For example, Aunt Kelly, the nun who raised him, will definitely be punished.

Because she is the one who raised the sinner, if Murphy commits a crime, she also needs to bear the corresponding responsibility.

Murphy didn't dare to take the risk. He was not sure whether he would be discovered in the end, so he didn't dare to gamble.

Because he really doesn't want to lose someone close to him again.

So he didn't take action in the end, but just endured it silently.

These are the memories that Murphy awakened to last night, and they are also one of his past regrets.

Chapter 39: Stabbed eight times, committed suicide

In fact, if this incident happened in the Garcia Empire, it would be much easier to deal with.

Although Murphy does not like the church, the Garcia Empire is a theocracy where both the hero and Ella have extremely high status and say, and they will definitely help him get rid of Dickens.

Unfortunately, this is the Kingdom of Leiden, and the church's words don't work that well.

But fortunately, Murphy has the opportunity to change the future because he has started over.

And this time, old Jed did not die in the maze, so the tragedies that happened in the past should not happen again.

But I still have to say something to Old Jed.

Of course, Murphy couldn't tell him the contents of her memory directly, but she could give him some suggestions in other aspects.

For example, tell Old Jed that Dickens was discussing a plan to attack him with his men last night and suggested that he strike first.

Then ask him to think of a way to have Dickens, the "beloved" city lord, stabbed eight times in the back and eventually die of suicide.

Well...but I think I need to discuss this with Sharon, after all, she also heard the conversation between Dickens and Riley.

Although this was a white lie, and those suggestions were helpful suggestions for old Jed.

But to Sharon, who didn't know the truth, it was just a lie.

If she finds out later, it will be difficult to explain.

Although Murphy believed that Sharon would not expose her, it was better to be cautious.

Therefore, he decided to wait and see the specific situation before making a decision.

As for now, let’s find Old Jed first.

He was not in the alley, perhaps he was delayed by something.

But it's not difficult to guess. After all, there are not many places he often goes to. There are only this small alley and that cheap pub with a backyard.

Murphy sat in the alley and waited for a while. After making sure that the other party would not come here for the time being, he got up and went to the tavern again.

He walked along the streets of East City, imagining what it would look like after losing old Jed.

Will it become more prosperous, or more desolate?

It should be the latter. According to my memory, there were fewer people in Dongcheng District in the end.

Most of them were "rats" who were killed or escaped from Lars; the rest were ordinary people who could not stand Dickens' madness and were afraid that the butcher's knife would fall on their heads.

They were not the group of poor people who got drunk in the pub early in the morning that Murphy had seen before. They were ordinary people with slightly better conditions, and their income was probably similar to Murphy's.

In fact, in Dickens' eyes, they have just escaped the passing line of poverty, and the poor who are slightly less poor are not among the targets to be cleared out.

But they are still very scared. Who knows if the city lord will suddenly go crazy one day and kill them too.
