Solving the trouble of the magician, Lawson did not stop for a moment, and walked out of the Black Thorn Villa quickly.

Outside the gate of the villa, he walked briskly to the corner, and then began to speed up until he ran through a street, and he rushed into a secluded alley. After running dozens of meters in the alley, I arrived at the back of the bell tower in the north of the city.

There was a thick rope hanging from the bell tower, and Rosen grabbed the rope and climbed all the way up, and soon reached the window at the top of the bell tower, where he reached out and jumped into the room where the bell was placed.

As soon as his feet landed, Annie's voice sounded in his ears: "How is it, it's not hurt, right?" ”

Rosen smiled, "I'm fine." As for you, do you see which way the Shadow Demon is running? ”

Anne was standing by the other window of the room, holding a high-powered telescope in her hand and looking into the distance: "I went to the west of the city, there are few people in the west of the city, there are many big trees, many of them still do not fall leaves, and the light changes a lot, which is very suitable for shadow demons to hide." The last time I saw the Shadow Demon was near the Blue River. ”

"By the river? Why did it run so far? ”

Lawson walked up to Anne, pulled out a small monocular from his pocket, and looked towards the riverside area west of the city.

The distance between the clock tower and the clock tower is about 1,000 meters, and you can see the city through a telescope.

It was winter, and although it was only five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky had begun to darken, perhaps because of the cold air near the river, and there were very few people on the streets, not as many as the carriages on the road.

After looking at it for a while, Rosen's gaze shifted from the street to the houses, especially those mansions with large yards.

"Are there any big people in the city who live in the west of the city near the river?" Rosen asked.

These days, he is busy preparing to infiltrate the Black Thorn Villa, and Anne is not idle, she is secretly visiting the city to learn all kinds of information about the city.

Now, in terms of the level of knowledge of Nilogaard City, Rosen is not as good as Anne, and he can guarantee that the vast majority of Nilogaard natives are not as good as Annie.

Anne really knew, she said: "The Bishui River floods several times a year, and the temperature in the north is cold in winter, and the area of Nilogaard is in the plain, and the wind is very strong, so although the scenery by the river is good, it is not a good place to live." As far as I know, there are only three mansions in the Linjiang area, which are Linjiang Pavilion, Yueshui Villa, and Shuangyue Residence. ”

"Bimoon?" Rosen sounded familiar: "In which direction?" ”

Anne pointed to a location: "The one on the far edge has a beautiful wooden water pavilion inside, half built on the river, see?" ”

Lawson adjusted the lens barrel to look for it, and soon, he nodded: "See, it's a nice place." ”

Anne shrugged: "It's good to live in the summer, but in the winter, it can freeze people enough." By the way, when we rented the Prancing Horse Mansion at the exchange that day, the second thing we saw was the Double Moon Residence. ”

Lawson also remembered that he was still yearning for the beautiful scenery described in the house introduction, he looked at the Double Moon House through the binoculars, and said, "In other words, the residents of the Double Moon House have only recently moved in, right?" ”

From the mirror tube, he could see clearly that there were not many people in the courtyard of the Double Moon Residence, there were 3 servants busy, 1 was watering the flowers, 1 was repairing the lawn, and 1 was just passing by. In addition to the servants, there were two maidens in tight leather armor in the garden.

The two girls have the same body shape, the same clothes, and even the movements are almost identical, looking like a pair of twins, each holding a wooden sword in their hands, and a training wooden stake that is incompatible with the environment is placed in front of them, and they are seriously training their sword skills against the wooden stake.

"Interesting."

After looking at it for a while, Rosen turned his gaze and continued to look elsewhere, but when he looked at it, he didn't find anything special: "I can't see anything from the telescope, so I can only go over to investigate." ”

Anne nodded, "That's true." However, judging by the Shadow Fiend's movements, I'm sure it's badly injured, and we're chasing it now, and with the blood in the air, it's easy to find it. The only thing to consider is to prevent it from breaking out and harming innocents. ”

"Understood. While the Shadow Demon is seriously injured, let's go now, lest anything happen. ”

"I think so too." Anne nodded.

The two of them walked to the window, slid down the thick hemp rope down the bell tower, and then hurried all the way to the west of the city.

Anne trotted all the way, and if Rosson had barely caught up with her, he would have been too exhausted to continue the fight by the time he reached the ground, but now he could easily keep up.

About a quarter of an hour later, the two reached the streets along the river.

"I ended up seeing Shadow Fiend in this area. I can already smell the Shadow Fiend, and you follow me. Anne whispered.

"Okay."

Anne strode forward, her nose twitching from time to time, and walked along the street for about fifty or sixty meters, she turned right into an alley, and after walking more than 30 meters in the alley, she pointed to the muddy ground by the wall and said, "Look here, it's the hoof prints of the Shadow Demon." And this, the soil was moist and had a strong sulfurous smell, which was the blood stains left by the Shadow Fiend. ”

Lawson squatted down to take a closer look, these hoof prints were a finger deep, and the distance between the two sets of hoof prints in the front and back was more than 30 meters, showing that the explosive power of the shadow demon was far beyond ordinary people.

You know, this is physical strength in a state of serious injury, and if it is at its peak, that Shadow Fiend is simply a humanoid tank.

After checking for a while, Anne stood up, looked at the dark alley, and looked solemn: "Follow me." I have a feeling that we're not far from Shadow Fiend. ”

Rosen took a deep breath: "I'm fully ready, as long as it dares to appear, I can kill it!" ”

After that, Anne was in charge of tracking, and Rosen stood by Anne's side with a meat grinder and musket. The two tacitly cooperated and tracked all the way through the alley.

When the sky became overcast, the two chased into a narrow cul-de-sac, at the end of which was a 4-meter-high wall, with high walls on both sides of the alley, and the light in the alley was so dim that they could barely see their fingers.

Anne sniffed lightly and whispered, "I'm sure the shadow demon entered this alley. You see, there's still a hoof print on the front. ”

Rosen also smelled a distinctive smell of sulphur blood, and his judgment was in line with Anne's.

Now the problem is, the alley in front of it is less than 1 meter wide, there is hardly any light, and it is surrounded by high, smooth stone walls on three sides, if the shadow demon and his companions, the two of them venture into it, and the way out is blocked, it will be really dangerous.

"Annie, what's around here?" Lawson looked left and right at his surroundings.

"The high wall in front should be the courtyard wall on the north side of the Double Moon Residence."

"Bimoon?" Rosen frowned slightly, and the pair of twin girls practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard came to his mind: "You say, will that shadow demon hide in the Double Moon Residence?" ”

"You'll have to go into the alley and take a closer look to find out."

Rosen nodded: "That's all." ”

He reached into his pocket, took out a small 'wooden stick', and pressed a button on the 'wooden stick' with his fingers, and the lens in front of the wooden stick suddenly emitted a bright white and yellow light, illuminating the dark alley.

This 'stick' is the flashlight that Lawson made for himself, and Anne also has one in his hand.

"You investigate, I'm on alert!"

The two entered the alley and walked cautiously for about ten meters, Anne squatted down, pointed to a hoof print on the ground and said: "Look at this hoof print, it is twice as deep as what we saw before, and there is a lot more blood next to the hoof print than before." ”

As she spoke, she stood up and continued to walk forward until she reached the stone wall at the end of the alley, she looked up at the wall carefully, and after more than ten seconds, she suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed to a small brown stain on the wall and said: "Look, blood spot, judging from the shape of the blood spot, it must have hit it at a certain speed." ”

Hearing this, Rosen already knew what Annie meant: "You mean, that Shadow Fiend jumped from there, jumped directly over the 4-meter-high stone wall, and entered the Double Moon Residence?" ”

Anne nodded: "Judging from the traces left on the scene, this is the only possibility!" It's just that the person who can buy the double moon house must be a rich and powerful guy. This shadow demon is hiding in the Twin Moon Residence, and it's really inconvenient for us to do it! ”

The Shadow Demon can hide in it, and of course they can chase it in, but I'm afraid that if they do so, they will force the Shadow Demon Dog to jump over the wall and threaten the life of the owner of the Double Moon Residence, and then the matter will be troublesome.

Rosen also felt that things were tricky, and he frowned and thought about what to do.

As he was thinking about it, he faintly heard a strange scream in his ears, and the sound came from the Double Moon Residence.

"Anne, did you hear that?"

Anne nodded slightly: "It's the scream of the Shadow Demon, it should be a scream, I can feel the pain in the voice." ”

Rosen suddenly couldn't figure it out: "That voice just now was not small. The Shadow Fiend should have sneaked into the Double Moon Residence to take refuge, how dare it scream so loudly? Could it be that people have discovered it and are attacking it? ”

Strangely, another scream came from the center of the double moon, louder than before, containing pain, but also a sense of relief.

Anne was slightly stunned when she heard this, as if she had thought of something, but she didn't understand it, and she wanted to stop talking.

"What did you find?" Lawson asked busily.

"How do I feel, as if someone is treating Shadow Fiend's injuries?" Anne's tone was uncertain.

As soon as she said this, Rosen also came back to his senses.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and suddenly, a terrifying possibility occurred to him.

"Anne, you say...... Will there be a problem with the owner of this bilunar home? Could he be in league with the Shadow Fiend? Rosen said softly.

Anne obviously had similar suspicions, she bit her lip lightly, muttered for a few seconds, and finally made up her mind: "Let's go, let's sneak in and find out!" ”
