Chapter 527: Magic Blast: Acquaintances
Rogette: "How did he die?" Where was his body found? ”
Damien: "The environment in which his corpse was displayed was unusual. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He went to a dinner party that night, and the other guests suddenly noticed that he was missing. The Town Watch found him an hour later, lying on all fours, leaning on the gallows, sword hanging around his neck. The wound that killed him was inflicted by a claw, not a weapon. The force of the attack is quite large. ”
Rogert: "So he died suddenly, but the body was on his knees. This means that someone is deliberately posing this pose. ”
Damien: "It looks like so. ”
Rogert: "Give me the information on the second deceased." ”
Damien: "There are some dark corners of the city, and anyone with a head doesn't go after dark. Ramon. Dulac is in such a place.
Since the first homicide, the whole city has been plunged into fear. The inhabitants of the city are cautious and afraid to stay in a safe place. As a result, the news of the second deceased was told to us by a group of villains. ”
Rogette: "Criminals are afraid of beasts, too?" It's funny. I'm guessing you've ruled out the possibility that Ramon died at the hands of those robbers? ”
Damien: "Do you think I'm an amateur?" Ramon. Dulac was killed not by the hand, but by the claw. His wounds were deep and sharp. ”
Duchess: "He was lying in the ditch, wearing pajamas and pajamas, a pillow under his head, and a quilt for his sword." He's Ramon. Dulac! Ten years ago, I was my father's teacher. ”
Rogette: "Looks like someone went to great lengths to make his death look funny. Maybe the motive is revenge? ”
Damien: "It's possible. Dulac has made a lot of despicable deals with the underworld, but no one has ever come up with any actual evidence. ”
Rogert: "So the first two dead were knights, and they both lived their own glorious years. ”
Damien: "The same is true of the third deceased. Sir Rakot spoke arrogantly, declaring that the challenges faced by modern knights are very different, and that the sixth virtue of knighthood is enterprise. ”
Duchess: "He made a lot of money by buying and selling grain. Pelmelyn even called him Sir Iron Rooster. ”
Rogert: "I found a bag of money on his corpse, containing Flon coins from different ages and from different provinces of the Empire. ”
Damien: "Rakosi does love gold, but he doesn't have the patience to collect them slowly. ”
Rogette: "The dead have a lot in common. All of them were in strange places, and the corpses were in very unusual condition. It seems that no matter who the murderer is or what he is, he wants to try to convey some meaning. ”
Duchess: "They are all noble gentlemen. We are horrified by this disgrace and the disrespect they receive. They are the knights of Touscent. It's so damning! ”
Rogette: "Maybe that's the point. As you can tell from your words, none of them are exemplary. Have you ever considered that this is the point that the beast wants to emphasize? ”
Duchess: "All the dead were knights who had sworn to observe the five virtues of knighthood. ”
Rogette: "What qualities do the knights of Towson swear allegiance to?" ”
Duchess: "Honor, wisdom, generosity, valor and mercy." ”
Rogert: "Why are these five virtues so important to your knights?" ”
Duchess: "That's a strange question. ”
Rogette: "Your Excellency, please forgive me. I'm just an outsider who wants to learn about the customs of a foreign country. ”
Duchess: "You're a foreigner. According to legend, the virtues we cultivate are given to us by the goddess of the lake. As for why we started to worship these five virtues, no one can remember. We at Towson believe that people of low birth are simple-minded and should be obedient. However, we have higher requirements for our riders. They were future soldiers and courtiers, lords and guards. So we need very clear moral guidance. When knights are ordained, they must swear with their lives to show honor, wisdom, generosity, valor and mercy. ”
Rogette: "The beast seems to want to say that morality is falling, and it's condemning it. The dead were all humiliated. They may have been killed to underscore their lack of specific chivalric qualities. ”
Damien: "Gallows takes the place of glory, burlesque mocks wisdom, and the purse in the throat is the opposite of generosity... It seems to make sense, but it's not 100% consistent. ”
Rogert: "If everybody in town says that, then we'd better not rule it out." Assuming our reasoning is correct, the next homicide will be quite high-profile and will condemn the victim for lacking the fourth virtue, 'bravery.'" We can also assume that the victim would be an old knight. ”
Duchess: "Let's think about it, all the knights are either in the tournament or in the palace garden. Our annual hare hunt will soon take place in the garden. Have you ever heard of this custom? ”
Rogette: "Nilton mentioned it. He seemed looking forward to jumping around in a bunny costume, but I didn't understand it. Wait a minute... Strange old corpse situation, old knight, rabbit is notoriously cowardly..."
Duchess: Is it possible that simple? Nilton. Is Perapelin the next target? ”
Rogette: "Nilton also knew Lakoth, and he told me by the river. ”
Duchess: "Damine! You didn't even think of this obvious clue! Perapelin, Cresp, Rakofour, and Dulac have formed a Cavaliers team before! That was years ago. ”
Rogette: "They've made the Cavaliers?" ”
Duchess: "They are old friends, quite acquainted. They gained my father's trust because of this. We used to ask them some tricky things. But soon after, they parted ways. ”
Rogette: "It's unlikely to be a coincidence. The beast must know this, and I'm sure it's a clue. ”
Rogette: "Your Excellency, we need to go to Nilton right now. ”
Duchess: "I'm afraid that's unlikely. The amusement in the garden was about to begin, and he disguised himself as a hare and hid himself, waiting for some of the drunken courtiers to find him. The hare's hiding place is an elaborate secret. ”
Damien: "We've got to cancel the game right now!" ”
Duchess: "The most important thing is to stay calm. She pondered for a moment and then said, "Damien, order a search of the garden, swiftly, but with great caution. We must not interrupt the festivities. Panic will only make the beast strike early. ”
Damine nodded and walked away.
The Duchess said to Rogette, "And you, Demon Hunter, come with me!" My garden, my knights, I must go out myself. Don't try to kill under my nose, I won't allow it! Not allowed near my palace! Come! Lead our horses here! ”
The Duchess and Rogette rode in front. Tang Tu and the other players were working hard behind them, and it seemed that the figure in front of them would disappear if they slackened slightly.
Duchess: "Quick! Move! Get out of the way! ”
Rogette: "Your Excellency is at home in the saddle! ”
Duchess: "It's here, just around the corner!" ”
Rogert: "Quick! ”
Duchess: "We must go to the place where the game is playing!" Participants must find the horns of a unicorn, a goldfish and a phoenix egg. With these things, they were able to deduce where Nilton's hare was hiding. ”
Rogette: "Meaning we have to find these things too?" ”
Duchess: "We have no choice. Every second counts, so we have to break the rules. ”
The Duchess and Rogette came into the crowd, and the Duchess pulled Rogette to another path: "Let's go through here." I'll take you to the location of the hunting game, and then we'll split up. You're in charge of finding unicorns and goldfish, and I'm looking for phoenix eggs. It's faster this way. ”
Rogert: "Unicorn... How can you catch it? ”
Duchess: "It's terrified of humans, but I'm sure you'll have a way of winning its trust." It's going to run around there, you see. ”
Rogette: "And what about the goldfish?" Do I need a rod or a net? ”
Duchess: "Please, Rogette. That's not really a fish. Do you look at the water's edge, do you see the light? The hunters wanted to get the fish out of the boat. You just need to dive in and find it. Goldfish and gladiatorial will contain things or clues that will help us find Nilton. Once you've found the fish and horns, go find me where everyone is looking for phoenix eggs. Clear? Let's get started. ”
The duchess is gone.
Rogette said to the players, "Did you hear what the Duchess said just now? Unicorns, I'll deal with it. You go get goldfish. ”
So, a group of players hula down the mountain into the water to catch goldfish. The large number of players quickly took over the goldfish. Rogette also moves fast. Then everyone went to the duchess together.
The duchess is the most domineering. She found another group of players who had already found the phoenix eggs and directly asked them to hand over the phoenix eggs.
Gamer A: "... But this is not in accordance with the rules. ”
Duchess: "I set the rules!" ”
The young lady with the phoenix egg reluctantly gave it to the duchess.
The Duchess looked at Rogert: "Rogert, you're finally here!" ”
Rogert: "Found the key and the clue." ”
Duchess: "I've found another one, too!" Show me yours! ”
Rogette took out the clue: "Who made these things?" "There is no grass or thread in the hiding place, but there is a little more water", "Leeches are not insects, they have a treasure on their heads".
Let me think about it. 'Yun' is without grass and thread, and water is 'warm', right? Isn't the 'leech' of the worm holding the treasure? ”
Tang Tu: "It's a greenhouse!" ”
Rogert: "That's right! ”
Duchess: "There are indeed several greenhouses in the garden!" But only one room can be locked! The key to the greenhouse looks exactly like the one we just found! ”
Rogert: "That's the greenhouse. Let's go! ”
A group of players follow Rogette and the Duchess towards the greenhouse. Everyone soon came to the door of the greenhouse. Rogette tells the Duchess to wait outside, only taking the player inside.
However, they seem to be late. A dark shadow bursts through the window and runs out, and Rogette and the players follow.
The shadow looked like a human being, but its hands were indeed claws. He seems to be able to turn into black mist and run. But Rogette's sword is also fast. In quick motion, Rogette chops off one of his opponent's hands.
Finally, the black shadow stops on the roof of the moving house. Rogette and the players watched him below.
Rogette held the hand: "Is this yours?" ”
Black Shadow: "That's right. But it's okay if you keep it, I already have a new one. I don't know you, and I have no grievances with you. But you first killed the vampire girl I knew, and now you're chasing after me. Why? ”
Rogert: "You've killed four innocent people, probably more than that." ”
Dark Shadow: "What about you?" How many innocent people have you killed? ”
Rogette: "I don't kill innocent people. But the murderer, of course, must be killed. ”
Dark Shadow: "I'll stop soon, there's only one left." If you continue to stand in the way, I'll kill you. ”
Rogert: "Are you going to leave here and kill people somewhere else?" ”
Dark Shadow: "No. I intend to live my own life. Have a happy ending. ”
Rogert: "I'm not going to let you kill again." ”
So, the fight began. There is still no suspense, and the dark shadow can't beat Rogert. But he was so fast that he was gone before the final blow.
Rogette and the players didn't dare to take it lightly and looked around. Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed out, but another figure also flashed out.
The shadow's claws pierced through the figure's body. The figure grabbed the shadow by the head.
The Black Shadow said viciously, "You should stay where you are and continue to be reborn." ”
Figure: "I know you're in trouble. I can help. ”
Black Shadow: "I don't need help. ”
Figure: "Stop, he's my friend." ”
The shadow made a hole in the figure's chest, then vanished in a dance of blood.
The figure turned to Rogette and said, "That's right, Rogette, it's me." ”
Rogert: "Regis? I... You okay? ”
Vampire Regis: "It's business as usual, nothing out of the ordinary. These injuries take only a little time for the vampire to recover. But we haven't seen each other for years, friend. Although this is only a blink of an eye for vampires. ”
Rogert: "How is that possible?" The last time I saw you..."
Regis: "I'm hot bubbling out of a human form, and I'm being melted into the pillars of a castle somewhere. I'm much better now, as you can see. I'm not fully recovered, but if I were a human being, I dare say people would worship me as a god. ”
Rogette and Regis hug. It really looks like a pair of good friends. This made the jaws drop of the players.
Rogette: "I'm sorry, that's my fault. I never had a chance to apologize to you. ”
Regis: "There's no need for that, Rogette. It's all gone. I chose to go on an adventure with you, and no one forced me. ”
