Chapter 627: The Undead Behind

Captain Lades had not come to town on leave today, but had been sent to find someone to help repair a broken steam engine at Red Water Camp.

Upon hearing that Captain Lades was also from Red Water Camp, Shard inquired about Lieutenant Houghton of the first company, whom Lecia had asked Shard to investigate.

Captain Lades was not particularly wary of Shard and directly told him that recently Lieutenant Houghton had won a large sum of Gold Pounds playing cards in town and that he had even been seen smoking a cigar outside the camp during his night duty rests.

"Was it an expensive cigar?"

Shard asked.

"Are there any cheap cigars?"

Captain Lades curiously counter-asked.

Thus, the investigation Lecia asked Shard to conduct was simply completed.
