In the alley where the homicide took place.

Shortly after Green and his party killed the cursed puppet and left, a group of militiamen arrived at the scene of the crime belatedly.

In the middle of an alley, on the ground was a broken corpse, and the corpse looked as if it had been dead for a long time, and the murderer had long since left.

Leading the team was a heroic female knight, with short and capable ear-length hair and bright eyes.

The militiamen cordoned off the scene, their expressions did not look good, and unease spread through the ranks.

The female knight crouched down next to the corpse, examining the corpse's wounds with a focused expression.

"The wounds are broken, some are corrupt...... That's right, the murderer and the previous case were committed by the same person. ”

Looking at the female knight examining the corpse, the expressions of the surrounding militiamen were a little stiff.

After squatting on the ground and inspecting for a while, the female knight suddenly raised her eyebrows: "Do you think that the corpse is too complete this time?" ”

Complete?

The militiamen looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, as well as the intestines that fell on the ground, and the whole person was not good. Some militiamen couldn't resist even running out of the alleys and gulping in the fresh air outside.

"Captain Alicia, this isn't complete." A middle-aged militiaman couldn't help but complain.

"I mean, compared to the previous corpses, this one is complete!" The female knight stood up and looked at her surroundings and the distribution of the corpses, "The corpses we encountered before had their intestines cut into several pieces, and they were barely humanoid, but this one was only divided into several pieces. ”

The middle-aged militiaman's expression was a little stiff. Although the militia was older, they were not as brave as the young looking female knight.

The female knight ignored it, squinted her eyes and thought for a while: "When the murderer divided the body, he was disturbed, so the body was so large...... Someone else is showing up here! The killer left in order to hunt down the others! ”

The middle-aged militiaman was stunned for a moment: "You mean ......"

"Find! See if there are other corpses around! The knight shouted angrily.

"Yes!" The militiamen sprang into action immediately. As an all-local force, the militia took the recent killings very seriously, and had far more connections on the ground than outsiders like Green.

Soon, with the help of other residents, the militia was able to investigate the surrounding intelligence.

"No other dead were found." The middle-aged militiaman, who looked like the squad leader, gathered the information and reported it to the female knight who led the team.

"It can't be!" The female knight disputed this.

The middle-aged militiaman frowned slightly: "Captain Alicia, you have just been transferred, and you may not know much about the situation here." We are all locals, so if there is a body nearby, it is impossible not to find it. ”

"Hmm......" the female knight frowned and looked down at the corpse on the ground, "That is, there are survivors?" ”

"Oh?" The middle-aged militiaman's eyes lit up, "Maybe he has seen the appearance of a 'puppet master'!" ”

"Rather than the murderer being a 'puppeteer', I prefer that the murderer is an out-of-control cursed puppet." The female knight said seriously, "If the murderer has reason, he can hide the corpse." ”

The middle-aged militia was silent for a while: "The target is elusive, and he always looks for a lone person to attack." It can't be done without a certain amount of wisdom. ”

The militia's investigation is clearly not the first day. The vigilante team of militia members apparently knew from some of the survivors that the killer was actually a "doll", but they had a headache about how to find and solve the case - the target was elusive, and they always looked for the lone person to attack. And judging from the fact that it was able to kill the previous sheriff, the target's combat effectiveness is definitely not weak!

Understaffed......

The female knight glanced at her men and sighed secretly.

After all, the security team is just a militia organization, although there are many people, but the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is very limited, and it is enough to maintain local law and order, but once it encounters this kind of monster with extraordinary strength, it is a little stretched.

It would be nice to be able to recruit one or two strong people with extraordinary strength. However, the female knight understands that this is just a thought, after all, a strong man with extraordinary strength can already become a knight, and the meager salary of the militia team is difficult for a strong person of that strength to stay, so there is only a female knight in the entire security team.

As always, the investigation ended without a hitch, and the only thing the vigilantes could do was collect the victim's body and then instruct the family to collect the body.

This result made the militia very frustrated. Except for the female knights who were sent directly from above, the rest of the militia were local residents, so the importance of "killers" was much higher than that of the kingdom's dispatch troops who drank and paddled in taverns all day.

But it's useless to just pay attention. The militia was not able to disperse the ranks at will, which made the militia bloated and ineffective. For such a situation, the female knight, who is a sheriff, is a little anxious.

Unlike the sheriff's anxieties, a few muscular men from the garrison still spend their days in the tavern, seemingly unmotivated to investigate the case. And the sheriff does not appear to have any intention of requesting manpower or cooperation from the military.

At the same time, Green is also secretly investigating the case.

Green was also interested in the cursed doll that could use clones. According to a muscular man, strange things have often happened in the port of Ancona since the "demons" appeared and occupied the vast area south of the Great Wall.

"According to the priest, this is because the magic of the north has become very strong, which makes living things and matter more likely to mutate. If you want to describe it, since the accident in the north, the concentration of magic in the port of Ancona has been as strong as a magical night, even on an ordinary night. Because of the high concentration of magic, many magicians have recently moved to this port, and even our church has set up a branch here. Although the tavernkeeper is a muscular female, she also has a certain understanding of magic, "A high-magic environment is very helpful for exercising yourself." Interested in joining our church? Your body is too thin, join our church to exercise your body and help improve your ability in bed. "The female boss (?) At the two maids behind Green, he winked his eyebrows, as if to imply something.

Green simply ignored the topic of co-optation and recruitment.

"The usual concentration of magic is already about the same as that of the demonic night?" The content related to magic power attracted the attention of the two forests, "Can a high-magic environment speed up your cultivation speed?" ”

"Of course!" Female boss (?) He raised his arm and puffed up the muscles in his arm, "See my muscles?" As long as you do a few months of intensive training locally, you can also have such beautiful muscles! If it were a church elsewhere, without a few years of training, it would be impossible! ”

"Hmm......" Green touched his chin and frowned slightly. Isn't that good news......

Mana is as important to monsters as oxygen is to humans, and the "Mana Node" is a large "oxygen generator". In Green's opinion, the concentration of mana in the port of Ancona is excessive precisely because there are a large number of mana nodes in the north.

The increase in the concentration of mana has made the range of activities of the monsters more and more extensive, but at the same time, it has also had a certain impact on human beings - the environment of high magic seems to be able to make human cultivation faster? That's not good news for Green.

The environment of the High Devil is easy for humans to cultivate, but this rule also applies to other "things". According to the tavernkeeper, there have been more and more strange things in the city lately.

"Recently, there have been more and more supernatural powerhouses like you in the city, which has further exacerbated the changes in the city. It's not for nothing that the security team suspects that this case was caused by cursed items, but in our opinion, there must be other supernatural powerhouses hidden behind this incident! The tavernkeeper glanced at the muscular men lying in the tavern and sighed, "So everyone has little motivation for this." ”

"In other words, although the city hall wants to deal with this murder incident as soon as possible, the people below are unwilling to work?"

"It's almost, after all, it's life-threatening, and there's no oil or water." The tavernkeeper nodded, looking at Green, "But why are you so interested in this case all of a sudden?" ”

"Hmm...... It's a little curious. Green shrugged, "Although I am a little curious about this case, I don't want to get into unnecessary trouble because of my curiosity. ”

"Hmm." The tavernkeeper looked at the two maids beside Green, "Indeed. No one knows what kind of existence will be provoked until there is a conflict. ”

"So that means that even if I kill the murderer behind it, I won't be troubled by the authorities?"

"Of course." The tavern owner nodded, "This case is already a bit beyond the capacity of the security team, if you can solve this case, it is too late for the security team to thank you, naturally it is impossible to find you trouble." ”

"And what about the military?" Green gestured to the group of drunkards behind him.

"I don't know what to think about it, but they should be happy." The tavern keeper smiled, "After all, you are from our tavern. Of course, it would be better if you were willing to join our church! As long as you join our church, no matter what happens, we will help you! ”

Green looked at the woman in front of him (?) The rock-like muscles on his body are a little heartbeat.
