Chapter 9: Malice

Today's weather is exceptionally gloomy, with thick dark clouds covering the entire village of Leo, as if night has fallen again.

"Da-da. ”

The downpour of rain on the eaves, on the stone pavement, and on the glass windows, this kind of bad weather is rare and very annoying.

Although there was already a concept of umbrellas in this era, there were no raincoats, and most umbrellas were made of animal skins or special oil-based materials, and for remote villages like Leo, which were not wealthy, umbrellas were a shelter from the rain that only the aristocracy and wealthy had.

As you can imagine, today's weather will cause most people to either hide at home or get drenched in the rain.

Dai stood in front of the window, a kerosene lamp was placed on the window railing, and the yellowish light shone on her face, very quiet.

She looked at the deserted streets, looked at the gloomy weather, listened to the sound of raindrops beating against the glass windows, and spoke quietly.

"The weather was so nice. ”

Old Thiel smiled slightly, he knew that there were only two things that his young lady loved, one was to lie down in an easy chair after afternoon tea and sleep quietly, and the other was to stand quietly by the window with a kerosene lamp lit on a rainy day.

"yes, the weather is nice, but watch out for a cold. Old Tyre replied as he took a blanket and handed it to Dai with both hands.

Dai took advantage of the situation, pressed the two corners of the blanket on her chest, pulled it with her fingertips, and pulled it slightly to make the blanket wrap tighter.

The atmosphere was quiet but not dignified, Dai seemed to be enjoying something, and Mr. Housekeeper kept watching her back, and after a long time, Dai said softly:

"How did your last acolyte die?"

Mr. Butler was slightly stunned, he didn't expect such a question at all, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while.

"I didn't mean anything else. Dai picked up the kerosene lamp, turned to the desk, spread out the paper she had translated, and sat down quietly.

"I wish Miss had a more relaxed life. Mr. Butler replied heartily.

Dai hummed softly, and continued to look at the paper, which was densely filled with notes, and the paper already looked a little rough, and the corners were already wrinkled, and it was only one night, which showed that Dai had been keeping it within reach, flipping through it casually, and looking at it frequently.

The atmosphere was quiet again, except for the faint sound of rubbing, until Dai spoke again.

"Did you find anything about Roddy?"

"There are no reliable leads. "I investigated his father and his mother, who until twenty years ago had contracted a leg ailment, and Roddy himself seemed to have no idea about it, and Roddy's father had been a carpenter for a living and had never left Kotar City, and Roddy's mother was an innocent woman who now worked as an hourly wage worker in a lime factory in the lower part of Kotar City, and had no other relatives. ”

"What's his father's full name?" said Dai, frowning slightly.

"Pais, no surname. ”

Dai actually knows much more about this point, most ordinary people have names and no surnames, and they have no family inheritance, so they naturally don't stick to whether they have a surname or not.

However, this still disappointed Dai, because Roddy could see the fallen god and attract His attention, which is not something that an ordinary person can do.

Only by entering and understanding this incredible realm can we understand that we cannot look directly at God, whether it is a true God or a fallen God.

"I'm sure you can investigate something I need. ”

"Do as you are told, miss. ”

......

"Snap"

A faint sound caught Roddy's attention, but he glanced over to see that there was nothing to remove a lone, dead black tree, and that no one said anything but himself.

"Could it be that I'm hallucinating...", Roddy thought for a moment and then was relieved, following the team closely, and soon they would be reaching the area they had explored yesterday.

After the scavenging team walked away, Liang Feifei quietly stuck out his head behind the trunk of the tree, and muttered to himself:

"This guy is really different. ”

In order not to cause Roddy to panic, he continued to hide behind a tree.

After two enhancements, he could feel that the duration of his state had improved considerably, so this time he planned to take a good look at the humans.

After Liang Feifei gathered his mind, he saw that they had gone away, so he sneakily kept his distance and touched it.

Gusfu took out the thick rope, fastened it, and repeated yesterday's action, and when everyone was ready, he said in a deep voice:

"Code. ”

The team members skillfully laid out the three rules one by one, and then began the formal exploration.

Because a relatively safe route had been explored yesterday, and Roddy had found an abandoned object along it, Gusv decided to continue to expand on this route today, which was much safer than rediscovering a new route, and the probability of the same harvest would naturally decrease, but the team members did not complain at all.

Perhaps because of the heavy rain, the weather at this time is particularly gloomy, but it is also due to the special nature of the Forsaken Land, although it is already pouring rain outside the Forsaken Land, and not to mention the heavy rain here, even the humidity of the air has not increased.

Of course, Gusfu and the others didn't know that it was raining heavily, but they just thought that this area might be very dangerous, so the light was unusually dim.

This also kept everyone's spirits tense, and in addition to concentrating on discovering the ruins, they also had to be on the lookout for possible deadly dangers.

After the scavenging team continued to advance for a while, it suddenly stopped, Liang Feifei was a little far away, so he couldn't hear anything, so he sneaked closer and didn't stop until he heard Luo Di's voice.

"Captain, I seem to hear something strange, it's like... Someone was talking in my ear, but I couldn't hear clearly. ”

It wasn't just Luo Di who felt the abnormality, but Liang Feifei, who was hiding not far away, was even more deeply touched, his brows gradually furrowed, and he noticed that a thick malice suddenly spread, and it became clearer and clearer, making his hair stand on end.

The sound of babbling was like an annoying fly, which made Liang Feifei instinctively feel bored, and there was no discomfort other than that, but the people in the scavenging team felt something completely different.

Roddy first squatted down with his head in his hands, and the sound of his voice was like a hissing kettle, and it was like a whistle straight to his ears!

"Captain! My head hurts!"

The others were more or less the same, but Gusfu and Etro were going to be calmer, both of them holding a yellow-brown beast-like bladder in their hands and bringing it under their noses, their facial expressions suddenly becoming hideous.

"Get the dung bag out!!"

Gusfu roared and stepped forward to help his teammates who couldn't move freely to remove the dung bags and put them under their noses.

Roddy felt that his head was about to explode, and Gusfu's voice was completely muffled, but this did not affect him to see Gusfu's movements, and after some hard work, he finally took out the dung bag tremblingly and took a deep breath, and suddenly felt a headache, and the babbling was nothing.
