Chapter 525: Magic Blast: Investigation
Rogert: "Then why did he come down the mountain?" ”
Knight B: "Several times a year he goes down the mountain out of hunger. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Fruit has swallowed many shepherds. The motive for the hunting operation of the rice is right. ”
Knight A: "Anyway, let's find a place where the story fits." ”
Rogert: "I've taken the loot, thank you." Maybe someone is willing to pay for it. Rogette asked Gaogotmy again, "You're pretty good at fighting that giant." Do you have experience fighting monsters? ”
Gaogot: "No. In Towcente, we are fighting bandits most of the time. But I swear I'll bring the head of a savage monster to my sweetheart. Just like the famous giant hunter, Gothfid. ”
Knight B: "You're not going to hunt beasts, are you?" That is best left to Rogette. ”
Gaogot: "There's another challenge ahead of me. If Roger had come to hunt the beast, he had better know that the beast had struck again. A corpse sprang out of the river. The body washed ashore in a riverbend next to the Petrified Chicken Snake Hotel. Demien. The guards in Figure 2 are already searching there. ”
Rogert: "Search? It's best to hurry over there, lest they trample on the footprints and destroy all the evidence. ”
Knight A: "Let's go, then." I will ride into the city and inform the Duchess that Rogette has arrived. We'll meet later near the tent at the tournament venue, Gay Rice. I will take you to your Excellency. ”
Rogette chops off the head of the monster Fruit. Then everyone followed Gay Mi to the riverbank where the accident occurred. And the knight returned to the city alone.
"I can't stand the way you knights speak," said Rogette. Especially since you're constantly switching between subtlety and general conversation. ”
Knight B: "Because we are wandering knights serving Her Excellency the Duchess." When appearing in her name or delivering her message, we must follow tradition. ”
The people reached the river, but there was nothing left.
Knight B: "There's no one here, they must have removed the body." ”
Rogert: "Let's look around and make sure they're missing something." So, everyone scattered to look for clues.
Tang Tu opened his eagle eye and found many footprints: "Rogert, there are many footprints here." ”
Rogette stared at the footprints and analyzed: "Flat-headed nail boots, the footprints of many people, must be the Principality Guard." Let's see where they're going. Walk along the riverbank... Maybe the body was on the bank of the river. There are uninvited guests, be careful! ”
Several monsters suddenly appeared, and the players swarmed up and clicked them like vegetables.
Rogert: "It must have been attracted by the smell of blood, keep looking." ”
Knight B: "Anything that is reasonable when swept into the current will eventually be washed up in this shoal." ”
Rogert: "That's right, it stinks. Only blood-stained fragments of the deceased's clothes were found. And the quality of this fabric is still very good. ”
Knight B: "Looks like the deceased was rich, right?" ”
Rogert: "Seems so. There are traces of blood here... The guards dragged the net out of the water, then cut it open and dismantled the body. Dive in and take a look to make sure they're not missing anything. ”
Rogette went into the water, and some players also went into the water with him, but Tang Tu didn't move and stayed on the shore to wait. After a while, Rogette came out of the water with something: "Silk handkerchief." The initials D.L.C. are embroidered on it. Certainly an accessory for the nobility. ”
Everyone continued to search along the riverbank.
Rogert: "Look here, there's a ship departing from here, and the guards must have loaded the body parts onto the ship and transported them somewhere else. Gotta find out where it went. I wish I could take a look at the corpse before it starts to decompose. ”
Knight B looked at a house not far from the river, "The guests of the inn must have seen where the guards were going. We should go there and ask. ”
Rogette looked over there as well. The inn was built on the edge of the bridge not far away, and many people were standing there looking at it. A man dressed in black was passing by.
Rogette: "Looks like we have an audience. ”
Knight B: "What's there to be surprised about. Locals are sure to pass down the story of the body pieces being scooped up in the river from generation to generation. ”
Rogette: "One more thing, I found a handkerchief in the water. It says the abbreviation 'DLC', do you know what it means? ”
Knight B frowned: "Pull the four? Impossible, he was the one who was killed by the beast? ”
Rogert: "Looks like so. Are you familiar with him? ”
Knight B nodded, "That was a long time ago. We used to be acquaintances, but then we drifted apart. He's an extreme guy who'll stand with his buddies no matter what, and fight the enemy to the death. ”
Rogette: "Does he have a lot of enemies?" ”
Knight B: "Yes. But I don't know what this has to do with the beasts. Ah, Rogette, you've touched my sore spot. I don't want to talk about these memories of the past right now. ”
Rogette: "I understand. We'll talk later, let's go to the tavern first. ”
Knight B: "I'll have to leave you later, I'll have to go back to the court." ”
Rogette: "We've just returned to Towcente. ”
Knight B: "Your Excellency the Duchess's knight has no time to spare. Actually, I'm afraid I'll come back too late, and a bunch of responsibilities are waiting for me. But it seems that I came back at the right time. After examining the body, remember to report back to Anriya. ”
Rogette: "Anriyeh? ”
Knight B: "Your Excellency the Duchess." Sometimes even I forget. We all call each other by name in private. But he wouldn't call it that in front of Pelmelin, he thought it was too rude to be so intimate. ”
As the group entered the city, Knight B introduced Rogette: "The place is a tavern for merchants, smugglers, and boatmen. The crayfish chowder soup there is unrivalled in Towcente. ”
Knight B led everyone to the inn, and as soon as he stepped into the inn, he shrugged his nose and said, "Oh my God, is that the rich smell of fresh liver sauce?" ”
Guest A: "Yes, Sir Perapran. Looks like your senses haven't deteriorated. ”
Guest B: "If you don't mind sir, we'll be honored to enjoy it with us." Your partner is also very welcome. ”
Knight B: "But why don't I smell the crawn choda soup?" ”
Fisherman A: "There is no soup today, because there are no shrimp to cook." I guess you haven't heard of it yet, but all I caught today was corpse parts! As always, I woke up as soon as the day came out, but when I looked up, I saw a blood-red sky. ”
Knight B: "The corpse you're talking about is why we're here." The gentleman you have just invited has been summoned from a distant land by Her Excellency the Duchess, who has taken on the task of hunting the beast. ”
Guest A: "We have invited two gentlemen to join us, but since Sir Perapelan is mild-mannered, I suspect that the other is the Hunter." Who are you? ”
Rogette said coolly, "Nilton said that I came from the north to deal with the beast on the orders of the Duchess. ”
Guest B: "Yes, yes, but who are you?" Knight? Mercenary? Soldier? ”
Knight B: "Rogette is a demon hunter, or the best of the best. He has a question for you about the latest deceased of the beast. ”
Fisherman A: "I was the one who found the body. I woke up just after the sun had risen, I sat up from my bed, looked out the window, and saw the blood-red sky. ”
Knight B: "Rogette, ask." Otherwise, we'll have to stay here until winter. ”
Rogette asked Angler A, "It must have been very early." You go to inspect the fishing nets, and then what? ”
Fisherman A: "I walked out of the house, and I saw... Blood-red sky. ”
Knight B: "Oh my God, to the point, sir. You found a corpse in your prawn net, we already know it. What happened next? Do you see anyone nearby? Anything noteworthy? What did you find? ”
Fisherman A: "There's no one around, just me." As for the noteworthy things... Hmm..."
Knight B: "What do you see?" I warn you, if you say the blood-red sky again, I'll wake you up. ”
Fisherman A: "I saw a head floating on the water, its eyes bulging out, and its tongue blue spitting out. There is a hand floating on the water next to it. ”
Rogette: "Do you see the corpse clearly?" ”
Fisherman A: "I was scared and ran away, but then I came back with the guards, and they told me not to get in the way." It took a lot of effort for them to pull up the net. The corpse pieces were wrapped in the net, but the ground was so tightly wrapped that the net had to be cut. ”
Rogert: "I have to investigate the body, do you know where they took it?" ”
Guest A: "They carried the body to the other side of the river, and then they loaded it into a cart and took it to the white crow's cellar. It should be to keep the temperature low. ”
Knight B: "What? The White Crow Vineyard is the property of Baron Russell! If he had learned that his cellar was being used as a morgue, it would be strange that he would not close the door and let the dogs go! ”
Another guest said: "When you went on a mission to the north, his vineyard was sold. ”
Rogette turned his head to look outside the inn and saw a woman dressed in black flash by.
Rogette asked, "Who is that woman who just left?" I didn't see her before, and I didn't notice her walking in. ”
Knight B: "That must be Linness, the daughter of the innkeeper." Wait, Rogette, it's shocking. Russell's vineyard sold? What a surprise! ”
Another guest said: "It is no secret that the baron's gambling debts have accumulated to a high level. When the time finally came to collect the debt, his creditors auctioned off his land. It was the Principality's embassy that was bought, and now Russell has gone to Vicvaro to borrow his brother's place. ”
Knight B: "I told Russell that sooner or later he was going to be in trouble. How long can you survive by boasting about the heroic deeds of the past? His creditors must have expected his promises to be untrustworthy. ”
Guest A: "This is the age. Today's knights are the shadows of the heroes of the past. ”
Fisherman A: "Everyone is right, the gods have sent demons to punish us for going off the rails!" ”
Rogert: "That's why people think that the beast is a punishment from heaven. ”
Fisherman: "The knight has deviated from the old customs. They used to be the protectors of the principality, but now they are willing to take care of their own lives. ”
Knight B: "You impudent fellow! ”
Rogette: "Let him finish." ”
Fisherman A: "The Duchess trades titles and bestows glory on those who do bad things." We have strayed from the right track and been spurned by the gods, so there will be a damnation. ”
Knight B: "Don't listen to this nonsense, Rogette. The preacher on the street talked nonsense. ”
Guest B: "yes, there's been a bunch of pastors stirring up crowds lately, and everyone is talking about the same thing. ”
Rogette: "Did you say anything about the beast?" Except that it was said that it was a messenger sent by the gods. ”
Guest A: "The Towcents are not stupid. They could tell at a glance that the beast would kill the patriot on the day of commemoration of the patriotic saint. ”
Rogette: "This monster is really picky. Thank you for your hospitality, it's time for me to go and examine the body. ”
Knight B: "The White Crow is not far from here, near the tournament venue. Just walk along the road and get it. ”
Rogert: "Aren't you coming along?" By the way, what responsibility do you have? ”
Knight B: "What responsibility?" Ha, Your Excellency the Duchess gave me a great honor before we set out for Weilun. I'm going to play as a hare in this year's court garden. When you see my costume, you're going to laugh and cry! ”
Rogert: "I'd love to ask questions, but it sounds like a long, complicated story that touches on local history and traditions... So we'll see you later, Nilton. Good luck. ”
So, Rogette left with the players. Everyone ran towards the vineyard together. When they arrived at the place, everyone was taken aback. Because the vineyard is full of corpses.
It's a beautiful vineyard, if it weren't for the corpses on the ground and a mess.
Rogette observed the corpse on the ground: "The throat was torn open by human-like claws, and it looked like a human except for the fangs. His ribs were broken, his ears were bleeding, and he received a heavy blow. Brutally murdered by vampires. It's not the hand of the Blood Devil, and it's not the Batwing Demon. It's definitely a vampire girl... The body also had a body temperature. The killer must not have left. Be careful, everyone! ”
Tang Tu turned on his eagle eye and kept an eye on the movements around him.
Rogette said to the players, "Do you have black blood and moon dust with you?" Maybe it will save your life. ”
Black Blood and Moon Dust can be picked up when killing monsters, or they can be purchased from merchants and can be used to deal with demons. At the beginning of the mission, the system gives one to each player.
Rogette looked at the blood on the ground: "It must be in the cellar." ”
Rogette crouched down to observe the overturned car on the side of the road for a while: "The car is covered with mud from the river." The car was used to carry corpses. The attacker easily overturned the car. Then he looked at the corpse next to him: "It's a claw mark." It's a scar made by five different claws, like a small human hand..."
