Chapter 273: This Butler, There's a Problem

After speaking, without waiting for the other players to answer, Xiao Xianmeow said it herself:

"Do you remember the human butler we caught when we were on a mission with the Crocodile Mercenary Regiment?"

"That butler is also in this town?"

Li Mu was slightly stunned.

He was the one who asked, so he was still quite impressed by this death-scared butler.

"Yes, but ...... The way he is now, it feels like you might not be able to recognize him. ”

Xiao Xianmeow said, throwing a screenshot into the chat group when she had just peeped in the dark.

It was the picture of the Skinny Guard talking to Anders.

The thin guard's face was flattering, while Anders's expression was unsightly.

However, the expression is secondary, and what attracts players is the current appearance of Anders.

The old butler was not at all as rich as he had seen at first, but thin as skinny, with a sallow face and dull hair, as if he had escaped from the desert for months.

The clothes on his body were far from the original housekeeper's clothes, but he was changed into a winter coat of a villager who didn't fit well.

"I'll go, why did this guy lose so much weight? I remember when I first saw him at the crocodile mercenary camp, he was as fat as a ball. ”

"He's really him...... Almost unrecognizable. ”

"How is he in this town?"

Looking at the surprised expressions of the other players, Xiao Xianmeow smiled and continued to send a message in the chat channel:

"I inquired, and it seems that he was lost outside for almost two months, and finally rushed back, so he tossed like this. Well, according to the villagers, he came to town a little earlier than us. ”

"Poof...... Get lost? ”

"That's too showy, isn't it?"

And Li Mu raised his eyebrows slightly:

"Did he go with a lot of villagers and some of the villagers?"

"I knocked on the side, and the others didn't come back, and the dozen or so people we let go that day came back alone."

Little Meow replied.

And after reading the message she sent, the coo-cru bird frowned:

"Someone else? Other words...... Myrell robbed the village in the first place? ”

"Ahem, ahem...... Is it to buy, hmm...... Forced to buy, but it seems that it was not the villagers who were forced to buy, the villagers were just arrested as coolies, and Merrell directly forcibly bought a nearby property of the human earl......"

"In its words, trading with nobles makes a lot of money, and trading with those poor ghosts can't make a lot of money......

Little Salty Meow explained a little strangely.

Cooing Bird: ......

"I just thought, aren't we going to Maple Leaf City? This guy who is afraid of death is the earl butler of Maple Leaf City, just by the way! And...... The reason why the guard who received us was going to the city tomorrow seemed to be to escort him back. ”

"So...... I think we can take a break and see if we can follow the line of this butler to catch up with the nobles of Maple Leaf City or the Chamber of Commerce of the auction......"

Xiao Xianmeow said.

Listening to her words, the players were moved:

"That's a good idea!"

"Yes! I remember when I first interrogated this guy, he seemed to know a lot, and he would definitely be able to do it! ”

However, there are also players who are a little hesitant:

"But here's the thing...... How to gain his trust, and ...... Will he recognize us as we are? ”

"He didn't recognize us."

Xiao Xianmeow shook her head and continued:

"He seems to be asking the guards about where we came from! I just don't know why I didn't come and ask us in person......"

"I think it should be that day when we raided before dawn, and when we finally won the mercenary group, everyone was bloodied again, and they couldn't see clearly, but now they have changed their appearance slightly, so he hasn't recognized us all along......"

"By the way, he didn't recognize our carriage either, which shows that our transformation is still very effective."

Xiao Xianmeow spoke her judgment.

And after listening to Xiao Xianmeow's words, the players also nodded their heads.

It makes sense.

However, after listening to Xiao Xianmeow's words, the brows of the lunch box furrowed slightly.

He groaned for a moment, and suddenly asked:

"He's inquiring about us?"

"Uh-huh, I saw it with my own eyes."

Xiao Xianmeow nodded.

Ben's brow furrowed even deeper.

Seeing him like this, Li Mu's heart moved slightly:

"What's the matter, lunch brother, there's a problem?"

The lunch box nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"Feeling...... He's hiding. ”

"Hide?"

The other players looked confused.

Li Mu opened his mouth and was about to ask something, but he saw the lunch box suddenly look at Demacia:

"Clothes, take them out."

"What clothes?"

Demacia was slightly stunned.

"You picked it up."

Said the lunch box.

Demacia was stunned.

He patted his head, then pulled out a worn bloodstained garment from the car that accompanied him, and muttered as he pulled it out:

"I almost forgot about it...... I thought it wasn't some plot item, but it turned out that they all entered the village, and there was nothing, and I was about to throw it......"

But as he spoke, he stopped talking.

Because he suddenly saw the boxed lunch and Li Mu's expressions gradually becoming serious.

Even the fried tomatoes with tomatoes squinted slightly.

They all stared thoughtfully at the clothes in Demacia's hands.

"How...... What's wrong? ”

Demacia's heart suddenly felt a little empty:

"I didn't steal the treasure this time, really, I don't believe you, I haven't turned over this dress yet...... And it's not a mercenary's clothes, and there's nothing to ......."

Li Mu: ......

Little Salty Meow: ......

Cooing Bird: ......

Sautéed tomatoes with tomatoes: ......

"What kind of mess?"

Li Mu couldn't laugh or cry.

He examined the clothes in Demacia's hand for a moment, and sighed slightly:

"Demacia, don't you think this dress looks familiar on closer inspection?"

"Familiar?"

Demacia was slightly stunned.

He carefully picked up his clothes and looked at them, and suddenly became a little surprised:

"This ...... It's a bit like the clothes of those humans who were captured by the black dragon. ”

With a look in his eyes, he snatched the clothes from Demacia's hands and unfolded them......

It was a rather shabby garment, with a bloodstain in the center.

And after unfolding the clothes, the expression of the lunch box became more serious.

Pointing to the blood stains on his clothes, he said:

"The wound is in the back."

"It's a knife in the back."

Hearing his words, Li Mu's expression moved slightly:

"What do you mean...... The housekeeper did it? ”

The lunch box glanced at him:

"Very probability."

The cooing bird also changed its expression.

She frowned and thought about it, and suddenly suddenly realized:

"Quite possibly...... Along the way, he was the only one who walked in this direction with us. ”

"But if it was really him, why did he kill those who fled with him? And it's no good......"

There's something strange about Demacia.

"It's probably related to the battle of the crocodile mercenary group, he's afraid that he's killing his mouth, and he's afraid that he has something in mind...... Maybe it has something to do with us. ”

Li Mu said.

After finishing speaking, Li Mu's eyes flashed:

"I heard from the returning elven NPCs that the border lords of the Holy Mania Empire, like the orcs, also made their fortune from elves."

"Not only that, but his strength is strong, and the high-end combat power below the legendary level is even more powerful than that of the half-orcs...... If the orcs were not blessed by the true gods, maybe he alone would have wiped out tens of thousands of troops of the orcs. ”

"The size of the 1,000 people when we raided the crocodile mercenary group, and the black dragon Merrell, may be a threat or a prey in his eyes......"

Hearing his words, Demacia had a strange expression:

"Brother Mu, do you mean that the housekeeper is extinguishing his mouth, and then he plans to take credit for our news?"

"Quite possibly."

"But if he did it, what is he doing with it? Didn't you expose yourself and kill someone? ”

Demacia was still a little confused.

However, he soon ushered in the white eyes of Gugu Bird and Li Muqi:

"What season is it?"

"Winter?"

Demacia was stunned.

His eyes widened and he slapped his thigh:

"I see! His housekeeper clothes are so thin, it doesn't look like they are warm, and he brought these clothes to keep warm, and when he came back soon, he threw the clothes away, but he didn't expect to be picked up by me! ”

Li Mu nodded slightly, and said at the same time:

"Those dozen people, but none of them came back."

Demacia frowned:

"Brother Mu, do you mean that the butler killed everyone else? Just him? That cowardly person was so scared of us that he peed his pants at the beginning! ”

"Is that because I'm afraid that we will be overwhelmed and replaced by a dozen ordinary NPCs who are not even professionals?"

Xiao Xianmeow asked rhetorically.

Demacia was momentarily speechless.

Li Mu pondered for a while and said:

"This housekeeper...... There is a problem. ”

"Let's be careful with him, we can consider going along, but we have to be cautious."

"No...... This time, it's best to walk with him, and maybe find out what he's up to......"

"If you can't get it right, it's a hidden plot for sure."
