The grand festival is over, and the city of Zhenbei is once again busy, and Suren follows Chrissy to the underworld.

He was going to try his hand at breeding spiders underground, it was not easy to weave stockings using the silk of underground spiders, and alchemy was also used, and each pair of silk stockings sold from the dark regions cost more than fifty jinnars. Even so, it is still in short supply, mainly because the quality of this thing is not good, and it is basically a one-off.

Suren intends to carve out an area of the underworld dedicated to the breeding of underground spiders, and the silk produced is used to weave stockings. The drow elves are very experienced in the breeding of spiders, although the drow elves in Zhenbei City have been away from the underground world for a long time, and have even mixed with humans, but the method of breeding spiders has been handed down.

The underground spider is a large spider, it looks a little hideous on the outside, it has eight arthropods, the legs are about one meter long, the middle body is almost larger than a dog, the abdomen is fat, the body is covered with dense black and gray short hair, the appearance looks hideous and terrifying, this spider has eight eyes, a pair of hideous fangs on the mouth, belongs to the kind of monster that can leave a psychological shadow in the face.

Although this underground spider may look fierce on the outside, this spider is a vegetarian and likes to eat mushrooms and various fungi. Although it is poisonous, but this is their weapon of self-defense, there is a silk sac in the abdomen of the underground spider, and some spider silk will be produced every day, but this kind of spider silk cannot be used directly, they are too sticky, and they need to be treated.

After learning about the spider's habits, Suren built a large breeding farm outside the city of Crete. At the same time, some drow elves were assigned to take charge of production, and there are currently more than 100 underground spiders in this spider farm, and the production capacity is about 300 pairs of stockings per month.

In fact, the raw materials for the production of stockings are easy to solve, but the production is difficult, and Hathaway could not have spent a lot of time and energy processing these spider silks with alchemy. Fortunately, the part that uses alchemy is not a very difficult spell, the main thing is to eliminate the stickiness of the spider silk, and it took two days to make a rune array, and you only need to activate the rune array to deal with these spider silks.

This kind of work can be done by wizard apprentices, and as for weaving stockings, are the half-elf weavers? Although the weaving bureau in the north of the town is not famous? However, silk, fine linen, cotton cloth, etc. can be produced here, but the production is not high due to the lack of manpower.

The delicate work of knitting stockings is currently only possible with a few master weavers of half-elves? Suren could only ask them to try to train some apprentice weavers.

Just when Suren was preparing to build the interior of the Wizarding Tower with Hathaway and the others? A guard hurried over.

"My lord, the vigilantes have found some bodies in the city. ”

"Have you caught the murderer?" said Su Lun without raising his head? It's not much for a city of more than 100,000 people to have one or two homicides once and twice, although the laws in Zhenbei City are strict? But there are still unbelievers who want to try.

"Excuse me? We didn't find the murderer, and the number of deaths was a bit high. ”

"How many? Do you have any clues?"

"Twenty-four! No clues have been found. ”

Hearing this number, Su Lun suddenly raised his head, "Twenty-four people killed?" You don't have any clues. ”

"Excuse me, sir? You've been disappointed. ”

"Where is the body? Take me there. ”

Under the leadership of the guards, Su Lun soon came to the scene of the crime, at this time the place of the crime had been isolated by the people of the security team, as soon as he entered here, Su Lun smelled a strong smell of blood, and then looked at the corpse clearly? The face was even more gloomy and terrifying.

"All of your body's bodies were killed in one blow, and all of them had their hearts dug out. Harrison stepped forward and said.

Suren came to the front to observe? These corpses were both male and female, about thirty years old? It's the prime of life, and they have traces of fighting on their bodies? Visible from the signs of struggle in some places? There are some people who even had their hearts gouged out while they were alive? As a result, there was a lot of blood at the scene.

"Who found the body first?" asked Suren.

"It's Bobby. Harrison beckoned to a middle-aged man next to him, who looked a little reserved, and asked him to come over.

"Your Excellency, you are looking for me. Poppy nodded.

"Say what you know about these corpses again. ”

"Okay sir...."Poppy soon recounted the story from beginning to end, and Suren didn't find any clues in it.

"These people are just ordinary outcasts, who will come and kill them and gouge out their hearts?" said Su Lun, frowning.

"My lord, I know some clues. At this moment, outside the quarantine circle, an adventurer-looking man waved his arms and shouted, but the soldier in front of him did not allow him to approach the isolation circle.

"Let him in!" Suren said to the soldier after a moment's thought, and the soldier moved out of the way.

"Hello Lord, I'm Luen, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm a wanderer...", the adventurer said respectfully.

Su Lun waved his hand: "I'm not interested in these, you said you have clues, tell me now." ”

"Well, my lord, I do have some clues about those murderers, but—" Lu En said, making a general gesture.

"As long as the clues you said are true and can help us find the murderer, I can call the shots and give you a thousand gold narls as a reward, how about it?"

"Deal!" said Lu En with a quick nod. "I don't know if you've heard some rumors?"

"What rumors?" asked Su Lun, raising an eyebrow.

Lu En cautiously looked around, and then whispered, "Heartless!"

Su Lun was a little dazed, he hadn't heard the name. Seeing Su Lun's expression, Lu En continued: "It's not surprising that you don't know, my lord, this Heartless is actually an evil god church, they were often active on the southern coast before, but later they did some things, causing a large number of civilian casualties, and were jointly hunted down by the forces on the southern coast. ”

They often gouge out the hearts of living people and use them to sacrifice to the evil god, hence the name Heartless. According to Luen's explanation, Suren finally figured out who this so-called Heartless Man was.

These people believe in an evil god, and the favorite sacrifice of this evil god is the heart, so after defeating the enemy, these people will dig out their hearts, or sacrifice their evil gods with a killing, and finally they will dig out the heart as a sacrifice.

There are many types of gods in this world, even among the orthodox gods, there are many combinations, good, evil, neutral, orderly, chaotic, etc., and in addition to these gods, there are also some evil gods that have not been recognized, these evil gods have the power of some gods, like blood sacrifices, orthodox gods have godheads, priesthoods, and divine powers, while evil gods only have a part.

Although the evil god will respond to the believers and give them strength, in the end, he will swallow the power along with the believers, and the evil god will eventually take his soul even if the person who uses the power of the evil god is not killed by others.

"Are you saying that those Heartless Cultists have come to Zhenbei City?" Su Lun said.

"It seems that this is indeed the case!" said with a nod from Luen, "I suggest you seek the help of the Divine Temple, those who have no heart are not weak. ”

"You're a wanderer, you should be proficient in tracking, and your strength is not bad, help me find the traces of those evil god believers. Su Lun looked at the wanderer in front of him and said, this wanderer is a third-level transcendent professional, and he is familiar with the style of the Heartless, so it is very suitable for him to come and find it, as for seeking help from the church, Su Lun did not consider it for the time being.

The church is indeed very willing to help Su Lun solve these evil god churches, but in this way, the church will have the opportunity to meddle in the affairs of Zhenbei City, which Su Lun cannot accept.

"Okay, but there is also a reward for tracking, and this task is dangerous, I want two thousand gold nars!" Lu En hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Yes. Su Lun nodded in agreement.

Next, after Suren paid a commission of one thousand kinnars, Luen began to work officially.

As a wanderer who is proficient in tracking, Lu En is still very reliable, and it didn't take long to find some clues, and then began to follow the clues left behind, Suren with a barbarian guard only following behind.

Following the remaining traces, the group soon came to the outside of the city, and after arriving outside the city, the traces of tracking became more and more obvious, and it was clear that after leaving the city, these people no longer hid their tracks.

After a while, Su Lun suddenly found that they had come to a cemetery, which was used to bury the dead in Zhenbei City, and there were also cemeteries in Zhenbei City, but those who wanted to be buried in those cemeteries could only be soldiers who died in battle or citizens who paid a large sum of money, and ordinary homeless people, including serfs and monster slaves, were buried outside the city.

Although Zhenbei City has only been established for less than two years, many people have been buried in this cemetery. Because it is a cemetery, it is indeed hidden and inaccessible.

The wanderer who was walking in the front suddenly stopped, and then walked quickly to a cemetery and said in a deep voice: "Look at these graves! The tombstones have been around for a long time, but the earth under this ground has been turned up recently!"

Hearing his voice, everyone stepped forward one after another, making sure that something was wrong with the dirt here.

"It should have been the last two days!"

Luen crouched down, picked up some dirt with his hands, and asked, then cleared the weeds in front of the tombstone, and there were obvious signs of movement under the tombstone.

"At most, someone opened this grave three days ago. ”
