A terrible scream rang through the garden.

More than a dozen people nearby were attracted by the movement, and people took a look into the house, and it exploded.

"Dead!"

"Miss Adel has been killed!"

"O Celestial, the Moon Wand is gone!"

The sound rang out, and the whole garden became chaotic. Some people ran to the small house to check the situation, while others realized that something was wrong and left the scene as soon as possible.

Hill sat on the floor by the door, his mind racing. In a trance, she saw many figures dangling around her, and she heard screams and shouts in her ears.

I don't know how long it took, but she suddenly heard a familiar voice in her ears: "Don't be in a daze, follow me!" ”

Hill felt someone grab her wrist, and a force came that pulled her up from the ground and dragged her towards the gates of the Earl's Court.

It took a moment for Ciel to come back to her senses, and she looked back to see that it was none other than Vincent who was pulling her.

"Where are you taking me?" Hill exclaimed.

Vincent spoke quickly: "The guards of the town hall will be here soon. Things will be very troublesome then. Let's get out of here first! ”

Hill's mind was in a mess, he couldn't think of anything, he couldn't do anything, so he could only passively follow Vincent towards the gate of the Earl's Palace.

They are not the only ones doing so. In fact, most of the banquet guests fled the Earl's Court desperately after coming to their senses.

In the midst of the confusion, Hill passed through the gates of the Earl's Court, went out into the street, and in a trance, was put into the carriage by Vincentra.

"Go to the Prancing Horse Mansion! Be fast! She heard Vincent say that.

The carriage started, and the sound of the horse's hooves reached her ears, and the carriage galloped down the street, and after about twenty minutes, the carriage stopped.

Vincent opened the carriage door, jumped down first, and then turned around and urged: "Quick, come down!" ”

Hill got out of the carriage in a daze, and when she looked up, she saw in front of her a richly decorated iron fence gate, with two columns standing on the left and right of the gate, and on the pillars were stone carvings of two galloping horses.

"Prancing Horse Mansion? Vincent, haven't you already sold it? Ciel's mind recovered a lot from the chaos, but it was even more confused.

Vincent walked to the iron door, picked up a small hammer and began to ring the doorbell, explaining as he knocked: "It's sold." The buyer is the master alchemist you've always wanted to meet. That's how we met. ”

"Master Alchemist?" Hill was stunned for a moment, and became more and more puzzled: "But now that something like this has happened, Adele has been killed, why did you bring me here?" ”

Vincent said in a low voice: "I have seen Adele's corpse, the chest and abdomen have been completely cut open, and the wound is very horrible, this is not something ordinary people can do. Nine times out of ten, monsters did it. The only person I know who can help with this is this master alchemist. ”

As he spoke, a servant appeared at the gate, for it was night, and the servant took a picture of the faces of the two men with an oil lamp in his hand, and then recognized Vincent: "Sir, is there anything wrong with you at such a late hour?" ”

Vincent nodded, "I came to visit Mr. Rosen, is he sleeping now?" ”

"Of course not. You wait a minute, I'll report now. The servant turned and departed.

Hill asked in a low voice, "Is this Mr. Lawson a master alchemist?" ”

Vincent shook his head: "No, he is a disciple of the alchemy master. In fact, I have never met the alchemy master himself, who stays in the alchemy room all day long, never showing his face. ”

"Oh." Hill was slightly disappointed.

After a while, the servant returned, and he opened the door: "Mr. Vincent, and this lady, please come in." Mr. Rosen is waiting for you in the study. ”

The two followed the servants through the garden, into the mansion, and up the stairs to the second floor, and finally stopped at the door of a room.

The servant knocked on the door, "Mr. Rosen, they have arrived. ”

"Come in." There was a response from the study.

The servant pushed the door open and gestured to Vincent in an inviting gesture.

Vincent was the first to enter the room. Ciel took a deep breath and followed nervously.

The study was very warm and very brightly lit.

Hill could clearly see that in the center of the room was a large square table, and behind the table sat a young man who had gone too far, and in front of him lay an inkwell, a quill, and a messy pile of parchment.

Hill heard Vincent's voice, "Mr. Rosen, I'm sorry to bother me so late. ”

Hill was stunned when he heard this, and his heart was disappointed: "The proud disciple of the alchemy master, why is he so young? ’

Being young is not a problem, but being too young means that the study time is very short and you can't learn any great skills.

At this time, Hill saw that the man smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to invite: "Sit down, my friend." ”

Then, Hill looked at her and asked, "So, is this Miss Hill, the Academy's apprentice magician?" ”

Hill hurriedly stepped forward: "Yes, Mr. Rosen. ”

"Well, you have beautiful eyes. Sit down, too. Rosen said.

"Thank you very much for the compliment." Hill was a little happy in his heart, she was not very good-looking, but her eyes were very bright, and she was praised by many people, and this young man saw her merits at a glance, and her eyes were good.

She found a chair and sat down.

After the three of them sat down, Rosen asked, "Mr. Vincent, you came here at night, did you bring great business to my mentor?" ”

Vincent shook his head and turned to look at Ciel, "You were the first to discover the scene, you can tell me." ”

By this time, Hill had basically regained his composure: "Mr. Rosen, we are here to ask for help. ”

"Oh?" Rosen raised an eyebrow.

"Just now, Miss Adele was killed in her own home, and died in a terrible state, her stomach was dissected, her intestines flowed all over the ground, and her new wand was missing."

Rosen was a little confused when he heard this: "Miss Adele is dead?" ”

Wasn't it okay a few days ago, why was he suddenly killed? Adele is not an ordinary person, she is a countess, there are guards in the palace, who is so bold that she dares to torture and kill her master in the Earl's Palace?

Vincent added, "Tonight, Miss Adele celebrated her wand and feasted 400 guests. When Miss Adar was killed, the situation in the Earl's Court was very complicated. I've also seen the scene, and judging by the injuries, it doesn't look like an ordinary person did it. ”

Rosen heard the implication: "You mean, it's the monster's hand?" ”

Vincent nodded: "That's what I guessed, but there's no evidence. ”

Rosen fell silent.

In the game, he experienced a number of well-known monster murders in Nilogaard City. At that time, as a famous monster hunting master, he was commissioned by the city hall to hunt down the murderer.

But what these cases have in common is that the victims in these cases are usually ordinary people, small traders, craftsmen, etc., and none of them are powerful and rich.

The reason is not because of the luck of the rich and powerful, but because they have received special protection from the Nilogaard Academy.

Thinking of this, Rosen was puzzled and asked, "Is this monster crazy?" Dare to attack the countess, it is not afraid that the magicians of the academy will come to find trouble? ”

One of the biggest reasons why Nilogaard City is loved by those nobles and rich people is safety. Once a powerful person is killed, the magicians of the academy will do everything in their power to punish the murderer, even if the murderer is a monster, they will not escape punishment.

What this monster is doing now really makes people suspect that there is something wrong with his brain.

After speaking, he noticed that Ciel's expression moved, and he stopped talking.

He immediately asked, "Miss Hill, do you have anything to say?" ”

Ciel was silent, and finally spoke: "The mages of the academy have been busy lately, and I'm afraid they won't be able to deal with monsters. ”

"Busy?"

"Yes. My mentor, Kantor, for example, has recently been investigating a van robbery outside of town. In addition to this, I have heard that Berkeley, the Free City, has seized the Academy's cargo ship. A large number of ghouls appeared on the trade routes outside the city. There are vampire demons in the city's sewers, and everything needs to be solved urgently. In addition to this, in order to deal with the power of the Thor of the Flame God Cult, many mages worked day and night to find a weapon that could deal with the power of the Thor. Therefore, Adele's matter is likely to be handed over to the city hall for investigation. ”

Vincent frowned when he heard this: "City Hall? The town hall is full of ordinary people, how can they possibly find monsters? ”

Hill looked helpless: "Everyone understands the truth, but it's not that you can't pull out people." Besides, the city hall can't find the murderer, but they can issue a bounty. ”

Hearing this, Rosen nodded approvingly, "What Miss Hill said makes a lot of sense. ”

He turned to look at Vincent, "My friend, what do you think?" ”

Vincent sighed, "Mr. Rosen, Adele is my friend. When I had an accident on my merchant ship, when I was down, she took the initiative to help many times. Now, she died so inexplicably, I am both sorry and angry, and I want to do what I can. Mr. Rosen, I know that your friend, Lady Anne, is a monster stalker, so I want her help...... Of course, I can't get much for the time being, but I can serve you for free for a year. ”

Hill hesitated, and also spoke: "Adele is also my friend. As long as I can find the murderer, I am willing to do my best to repay him. ”

Rosen was silent, and after a few minutes, he suddenly clapped his hands a few times, and after a while, a servant walked in: "Sir, what are your orders?" ”

"Go and get Miss Anne, and say I have something to discuss with her."

"Yes, sir."

The servant stepped back, and after a few minutes, Anne walked in, "Rosen, what's wrong?" ”

Rosen pointed at Vincent, "It's him." ”

Vincent immediately stood up and told Adele in detail. Finally, he added, "If things are as Miss Hill says, then the town hall should issue a bounty tomorrow for the murderer." Miss Adele has a large family, but she has no heirs, and according to Nilogaard's decree, her family property will be recovered by the town hall. In return, the bounty offered by the town hall is sure to be very generous. ”

Anne was very moved in her heart, these days, she has been training in the training hall to better use the musket, and her ability has improved greatly, but the training time is really boring, and she has long wanted to go out to loosen her muscles.

"What do you think, Rosen?"

Rosen smiled slightly: "I have no opinion. In fact, we can investigate together. ”

Although he accidentally has a body similar to that of the undead, this ability can only be used as a support, alchemy is his foundation, and the fastest way to improve alchemy is to hunt monsters.

Now, he can hunt monsters and get bounties at the same time, how could he miss such a good thing?

Anne said, "Okay, I'll take this order." ”
