บท 150: Military Officer

The sound of owls hooting echoed in the eerie night, and as the moon rose higher in the sky, most of the beastmen returned to their homes. 

"What did you say?" A man holding a wine glass raised his head and looked at his aide. "You mean to say that someone saved a beastman who was already dead? Have you drank too much, Colton?"

"Lord Julian, I am not joking," his aide released a helpless sigh before saying, "More than fifty people witnessed that man saving the life of the beastman whose heart stopped beating. My brother was among these people as well." 

"Even if it's just a rumour, as long as there is the slightest bit of possibility, I believe we should give it a try, my lord."
