Liu Xing looked at Shen Dazhuang's corpse and said, "If nothing else, we should be sure that Shen Aotian is behind all this, after all, the NPCs related to these two incidents are only Shen Aotian who is still alive... Of course, Bell and Cai Gouzi are also suspicious, after all, they were with Shen Aotian at the beginning, so the possibility that they were Shen Aotian's accomplices cannot be ruled out. ”

Yin En nodded, sighed and said: "But it's still the same sentence, we don't have any evidence to prove that Shen Aotian is behind all this, after all, Shen Dazhuang's death doesn't prove anything, Shen Aotian can completely say that he committed suicide in fear of crime, or was murdered by a goblin." ”

Evidence.

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, and suddenly thought of a possibility, "We may be able to find evidence in the cave, or we can only go to the cave to find evidence now." ”

"That's right, if Shen Aotian wants Shen Dazhuang to take the blame for himself, he can completely disguise Shen Dazhuang in the cave as a suicide in fear of crime, so that we may not have suspicions, because all this seems reasonable, so I also think that there will be the evidence we want in the cave." Ding Kun said seriously.

Yin En touched his chin and said with a smile: "It seems that this is the so-called plan to kill two birds with one stone, one is to throw all the pots to Shen Dazhuang, and the other is to lure us away from the side of the cave, but what should we do with Shen Dazhuang's body, can we just leave it here?" ”

Liu Xing thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's right, we don't need to care about Shen Dazhuang's corpse now, because if we bring Shen Dazhuang's corpse back, we will definitely meet with Shen Aotian, and Shen Aotian will definitely do everything possible to prevent us from going to the cave to find evidence, so I think we should rush to the cave directly now!" ”

After thinking for a moment, Yin En and the others nodded in agreement.

So, Liu Xing and his party walked in the direction of the cave.

Soon Liu Xing and the others came to the entrance of the cave.

Although Liu Xing and the others did not prepare torches in advance, because the goblin clan could not move freely in the dark, torches were hung on both sides of the cave for lighting, and it was probably because those goblins were in a hurry, these torches were not extinguished.

After taking down a few torches, Liu Xing and the others marched towards the depths of the cave in a long snake formation.

I have to say that hundreds of goblins eat and drink in a cave with poor ventilation, and the smell is even stronger than that in the blacksmith village, if it weren't for the noon meal, Liu Xing would definitely vomit all over the ground now.

At this time, Zhang Wenbing couldn't help but say: "When I was a child, my family opened a pig farm of a large scale, and my family was also placed in the pig farm, so I always thought that my resistance to the smell was very strong, but I now know that I am still too young... ”

Liu Xing smiled and said: "It's actually okay now, after we solve the task of the blacksmith village, we will go to the Guangming Cathedral in the center of the continent, and the Guangming Cathedral is located in the largest city in the continent, Guangming City, and according to our module background this time for the Middle World Europe, the health situation of this Guangming City may be very worrying." ”

Ding Kun, who was in charge of the palace, also smiled and said seriously: "I used to have a very good relationship with a Frenchman, and I once talked to him about a certain point of crossing, and he told me that crossing is not popular in Europe, the reason is that the major cities in Europe in the Middle Ages are basically stinky, and there is no place to settle on the streets, and there will be a hill of excrement near the city that may be higher than the city wall, so in medieval Europe, there are often various plagues. As the protagonist of modern people, there is a chance that he will die on the spot, after all, all the doctors at that time were quacks. ”

The two most worthy of complaining about in medieval Europe are hygiene and medical treatment, and Liu Xing certainly knows very well how crazy his peers in the Middle Ages are...

Doctors in medieval Europe basically had only one treatment process - bloodletting to cure all diseases, and if bloodletting could not cure it, the limb was amputated.

So in the famous strategy game "Crusader King", there is a very famous meme - a trained doctor, a sick character will die 100%.

All in all, the princes and nobles who died at the hands of doctors were no less than those who died on the battlefield.

Hygiene and medical treatment were the main reasons for the occurrence of various large-scale plagues in medieval Europe.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing suddenly stopped, frowned, and said, "In this case, I suspect that the task we need to complete when we are in Guangming City is very likely to be related to the plague. ”

Yin En and the others were stunned.

"That's right, I just found a piece of information in my memory, which mentions that large-scale plagues often occur on this continent, and there have been more than a dozen plagues of varying scales in Guangming City alone." Zhang Wenbing opened his mouth and said: "If this is the case, then the difficulty of this task may surpass our phenomenon, because if we are also infected with the plague, it is very likely that there will be attrition, or even group annihilation, because Liu Xing, although your Holy Light Technique can restore HP, there is no way to cure all diseases, otherwise Guangming City, as a priest training center, will not be devastated by the plague." ”

Liu Xing nodded, although his holy light skill can restore HP and allow some skin injuries to heal as soon as possible, but the treatment effect of various diseases can only be described as treating the symptoms rather than curing the original, so although there is already a profession of priest on this continent, doctors can still be mixed.

But the doctors on this continent still only bled and amputated limbs...

Therefore, if his group is also infected with the plague, then there is really a possibility that there will be attrition or even group annihilation, after all, Liu Xing's Holy Light skill has a limit on the number of times it can be used.

Such speculation cast a shadow on the hearts of Liu Xing and others.

But at this moment, Liu Xing and the others had already come to a fork in the road.

"Shall we split up?" Yin Eun, who was walking in the front, asked.

At this time, Ding Kun stepped forward, squatted down to inspect it, and said, "Judging from the distribution of footprints on the ground, the hole on the left should lead to the residence of the group of goblins, while the hole on the right may be a forbidden place?" ”

Liu Xing also took a look at the ground and found that there were a lot of footprints in the hole on the left, and many of them looked very new; As for the footprints in the hole on the right, there are very few footprints, and those footprints seem to be about the same size, and it seems that only a few goblins will often enter and exit the hole on the right.

"In that case, let's go to the right first." Zhang Wenbing said.

So, Liu Xing and the others entered the hole on the right.

After walking for a minute, Liu Xing and the others suddenly heard a faint shout, but because the voice was so weak, Liu Xing and the others couldn't hear what he was saying, but Liu Xing and the others were sure that it should be a young man's voice.

For the sake of insurance, Liu Xing and the others made preparations for battle before slowly moving on.

Then, Liu Xing and the others saw a ragged and unkempt young man lying in a simple wooden prison.

The moment the young man saw Liu Xing and the others, he immediately crawled to the door of the wooden prison and said, "You have finally come to save me!" Let me out! ”

At this time, through the light of the torch, Liu Xing discovered that this young man actually looked exactly like Shen Aotian!

Wait a minute.

Liu Xing frowned, and subconsciously asked, "Are you Shen Aotian?" ”

The young man hurriedly nodded and said, "That's right, I am Shen Aotian, the next head of the Shen family in the blacksmith village, who was caught here by those bandits a few years ago." ”

Bandits from a few years ago?

Liu Xing and the others looked at each other, and they all thought of a possibility - the tanuki for the prince!

If the young man in front of him was really Shen Aotian, then this series of events would make sense.

It is very likely that the fake Shen Aotian is really a believer in Bahamut, and the reason why he is pretending to be Shen Aotian is likely to control the Shen family, and then control a blacksmith shop, and even control the blacksmith village, so that those Bahamut believers can quickly obtain a batch of high-quality weapons and equipment when necessary.

However, when Liu Xing and the others came to the blacksmith village, the fake Shen Aotian designed to steal the precious materials in order to delay his group's crusade against Bahamut.

As for why the fake Shen Aotian poisoned Shen Aolong and others again, and framed Shen Dazhuang, Liu Xing felt that he should want to take this opportunity to officially control the Shen family, after all, if Shen Aolong and Shen Dazhuang did not die, then he could only continue to play a younger brother who did not dare to fight for power with his eldest brother.

Therefore, the fake Shen Aotian first recruited the second butler of the Shen family, pretending to use Shen Aolong's name to prevent all the idle people of the Shen family from going to the living room, and then took the opportunity to poison Shen Aolong and others in the living room, and easily dealt with the second housekeeper who might become a hidden danger.

Then the fake Shen Aotian found an opportunity to ask Shen Dazhuang out of the blacksmith village, and Shen Dazhuang was not worried that his cowardly little brother would be unfavorable to him, so he came to the blacksmith village alone to make an appointment, but was solved by the goblins who had been ambushed for a long time, and finally those goblins used their own and Shen Dazhuang's bodies as bait to lure Liu Xing and the others away.

As for why those goblins didn't dispose of the real Shen Aotian before leaving, it was probably because this Shen Aotian still had a certain effect.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing stepped forward and asked, "Shen Aotian, do you know why you were caught here by those bandits?" ”

Shen Aotian was stunned for a moment, and then said with a vigilant face: "Could it be that you are the accomplices of that group of bandits?!" ”

Liu Xing shook his head and decided to tell Shen Aotian everything that had happened in the past two days.

Shen Aotian in the wooden prison collapsed in the wooden prison in despair after listening to Liu Xing's story.

At this time, Ding Kun on the side said in a low voice: "I think he should indeed be the real Shen Aotian, because I noticed that his facial expressions and body language are very real, not like acting." ”

When Yin En heard Ding Kun say this, he directly used the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand to cut off the iron lock of the wooden prison.

At this time, Shen Aotian also came back to his senses, and said in a sad tone: "I see, I just said why those bandits detained me for so long, it stands to reason that the reason why they arrested me was to ask for ransom, and my father would definitely take me back with ransom as soon as possible, so those bandits who got the ransom either chose to put me back or directly tore up the ticket, instead of continuing to lock me up here." ”

On the way out of the cave with Shen Aotian, Shen Aotian also told Liu Xing and others about what he had encountered in the past few years.

After Shen Aotian was caught by the bandits, he was directly knocked unconscious by those bandits, and when Shen Aotian woke up again, he found that he was locked in that wooden prison.

Then every day, a masked bandit would come to deliver food and water to Shen Aotian, and the masked bandit also gave Shen Aotian a small notebook, asking Shen Aotian to write down his various situations in this small book, in exchange for all kinds of better food, which is also the reason why the fake Shen Aotian was not discovered by Shen Aolong and others.

However, Shen Aotian has not said the last name in the Shen family's heirloom - "A Certain Point of the Protagonist List", because this is a code that the new head of the Shen family needs to use when he takes the throne, if the new head of the Shen family does not know this name, he will not be able to become the real head of the Shen family.

As for the reason why Shen Aotian didn't say this name, it was because Shen Aotian thought that those bandits wanted to pretend to be themselves to seize the position of the head of the Shen family, after all, there were many ways to change a person's appearance and voice on this continent.

Because of this, Shen Aotian has been imprisoned in that wooden prison.

In addition to this, Shen Aotian also mentioned one thing, that is, once he heard the masked bandit talking to another person in the passage, and seemed to mention Bahamut.

After listening to Shen Aotian's narration, Liu Xing and the others were even more sure that the fake Shen Aotian was a believer in Bahamut.

Fifteen minutes later, Liu Xing and the others took the weak Shen Aotian to find Zhang Jingxu and Rodriguez and others, who were resting by a stream.

Zhang Jingxu watched Liu Xing and the others walk over with Shen Aotian, and said with a look of surprise: "What's going on, how did Shen Aotian become like this?!" ”

Only then did Liu Xing realize that the fake Shen Aotian had disappeared.

It seemed that the fake Shen Aotian had noticed that something was wrong with the situation, so he ran away directly.

Liu Xing sighed and said, "This is the real Shen Aotian, the previous Shen Aotian is likely to be pretended to be a believer in Bahamut, so where is that Shen Aotian now?" ”
