Verse 234: Everyone is a bridge to happiness (3)
"By the way, Zhao Konghe." Cohen, who was walking in front of Marin, asked as he looked at his friends in the passageway.
"Konghe's father was killed by a guy who didn't know where he came from, and he can't come over today." When Ingmar Robben said this, she also mysteriously lowered her voice: "I went to see it, and it was indeed his father who was burned with oil. ”
"It's really terrible, I don't know where the murderer came from, someone was killed at the train station yesterday, but considering that the other party has been burned to ashes by the holy flame, the church took over directly**, Ingmar, your source in the police station doesn't seem to know." Liukin said, shaking his head.
"Of course I know, but people have been burned to ashes by the Holy Flame, this is definitely not a good bird, and if it dies, it will die." Inge raised her eyebrows, ignoring Liukin's provocative statement.
"That's right, it's just that how could Konghe's father be killed, although his father was not treated by the old duke, but it can't be said that he was killed so casually." The group began to dive, and Marin put on a mask and followed them and listened to them talk about what had happened last night.
First of all, Zhao Konghe, who was originally a group of five, couldn't come because his father was killed, and the murderer heard that it was extremely cruel and used a heavy crossbow to shoot the old father.
In this era, because of the appearance of muskets, crossbows have gradually withdrawn from the military field, and ordinary light crossbows are no longer in the control list, and only guys like heavy crossbows who pose a major threat to mortals and even low-level transcendents will be counted in the controlled products, and the fact is that the heavy crossbow that killed the old father of the Zhao family is said to be a heavy military crossbow, a giant - deduced from the crossbow left behind the chest of the corpse.
Therefore, the police station is currently in a state of chicken and dog jumping, because the victim is not an extraordinary person, and this matter is handled by the police department, and if it is confirmed that it is an extraordinary person, it will be transferred to the investigation department and other extraordinary departments.
And the one who died in the bathroom of the train station was burned to ashes by the Holy Flame, and this kind of unlucky bastard who looked like he was burned by a priest who passed by somewhere, and the police and the investigation department directly transferred the matter to the church and asked them to investigate the matter.
I heard that the team in charge of criminal cases on the church's side took a look, and without saying a word, they closed the case on the grounds that the chaos believers were shooting dead on the spot by the clergy who were unhappy with the road.
There is no need to find the murderer, nor the victim, or even a reason - people are burned to ashes with the Holy Flame anyway, and only the Chaos Cultists can be burned to ashes by the Holy Flame, and even the spirits cannot be burned to ashes.
Not only the foursome, but even Marin, who was listening, couldn't stop laughing—these church guys were so funny.
"I used to think that they were jealous of saying that the Church Investigation Department was a place for the elderly, but now that I look at it, it is indeed a place for the elderly, but they are not wrong." Ingmar smiled a little breathlessly, and he turned his head to look at Marin: "Mr. Marin, you are also a member of the church, do you think?" ”
"I won't agree with your statement, but I don't think the conclusion of their investigation department is wrong, if it were me, I would say the same, why should I spend a month trying to find the clergy who has seen the grievances, if he has the heart, wouldn't it be better to take the bounty with his head, so I think this Shiyou仈Jiǔ is a member of the just church, because most of them regard money as dung." Marin's words were well received by the four.
"Indeed, just as Mr. Marin said, I also feel that I am a high-ranking transcendent of the Church of Justice." Liukin said as he took out his cigarette case, he lit one for himself, and then looked at Xiang Marin: "Mr. Marin, do you want one?" ”
"No, thanks, I don't smoke." Marin smiled and waved his hand: "By the way, what is our goal for today." ”
"The guy we pursued yesterday was killed, and there was a guy named Ayers who took its head to receive the reward, so today we are going to chase a lich according to his tip, and his intelligence is matched with the recent adventurers, they all said that a lich was found on the fifth underground floor, according to their intelligence and the identity of the wizard, it should be Swinton Rohm, who was wanted by the Eastern Kingdoms before, this guy has lived for at least three hundred years, and is a very powerful lich, But I don't think we'll have a problem with you, after all, I've heard Logan say that you can kill the Black Bride and the Ghost Banshee as well as kill a mouse. Cohen looked at Marlin as he spoke, as if waiting for Marlin's answer.
So Marin smiled, a little shy: "There, it's just a professional counterpart." ”
"Mr. Marin is really modest, this professional counterpart, I can brag with my friends for a year." Cassie walked ahead, and then he stopped: "There are a few giant rats. ”
"Why are there giant rats here? Let me. Cohen pulled out a repeating crossbow—a stringless crossbow that had an internal spring as its propulsion. It is possible to fire three small crossbow arrows in a row at a time, and then you need to tighten the spring.
Although it is troublesome to operate, it is better to be simple and not wasteful, and it is very useful to fight those small animal spirits.
He hit three shots, three of the giant rats died, and the rest ran away.
"Looks like they've learned what to fear."
"Yes, there are people coming and going here every day, these giant rats have long learned to run away when they see people, this time it was just a first move by us, speaking of which, if we kill a few more here, they will appear less on the ground, and the children will be safer." At this point, Cohen picked up the rats and pulled the bolts out of their bodies: "My cousin, when he was a child, he was bitten off two toes by these fellows, and the unlucky fellow is still unable to walk. ”
"The guy who takes care of him must be out of luck." Marin asked.
Cohen shook his head a little embarrassed: "No, that day his mother and father wanted to take care of their children on a whim, but the two of them forgot about their children when they had afternoon tea, my cousin walked out of the iron gate in the back garden, and then walked two streets all the way, through the city gate and into the civilian area, that day happened to be the day of his blood awakening, and the awakening happened to be a kind of extraordinary ability to hide the aura, but humans can't notice it, but the giant rat can smell it, So I caught up with him. ”
Speaking of this, he spread his hands to Marin: "As soon as he cried after being bitten, he was immediately discovered by the civilian children, who helped him drive away the giant rat, but his toes could not be recovered." ”
"It's bad luck."
"Isn't it, but he's fine, anyway, he's working in the Investigation Section, and it's in the internal medicine department." Cohen said as he put away his crossbow arrows, and Cassie beckoned in front.
So the team moved on.
"When I was a kid, I explored the outside world like this, and then I almost got beaten to death." Ingmar sighed.
"I was the same, except that the door was a trap made for me by my father and mother, and I didn't listen to them, and I was beaten." Liukin said she had been subject to fishing enforcement.
Then Marlin found out that all four guys had had had such an experience.
I have to admit that curiosity has always been the biggest enemy of human life expectancy, and it is not without reason that there are fewer foreigners.
"By the way, can you introduce me to this dungeon?" As they prepared to descend to the second floor, Marlin adjusted the mask's filter and asked them about the dungeon.
"This has to be done by Ingmar, he knows best, after all, he is the only one of us who is studying history at the First Academy of the Royal Capital." Cohen said as he threw a filter module to Marlin: "This is a backup, give it to you first." ”
"Thank you." Marlin caught it, then nodded.
"You're welcome." Marin said.
"Ha, when it comes to this ghost place, of course I'm the most familiar with it, speaking of which, this dungeon was discovered when the Thor Dynasty was in the past, but at that time, we humans were still in a period of decline, it was almost four hundred years ago, at that time, a layer was full of poisonous fog, and humans couldn't get down at all, so they could only close this place in the end." Ingmar took over the topic and walked with the past of the basement of Marinmop.
In Ingmar's introduction, it was not developed until a hundred years ago, at first it was a technique to carry the poisonous fog, and the next second floor was even more thrilling to play with a large turntable with a six-nest revolver loaded with five bullets, and later it was discovered that the poisonous fog could be pumped away by opening the generator on the first floor, and the first floor began to settle down, after which people had the opportunity to start exploring the second and third floors below.
Tech hunters have spent decades confirming the situation on the first to fourth floors, and found that there are five and six layers, but because the ecology of the fifth and sixth floors is too dangerous, they do not recommend adventurers to enter the fifth and lower layers - because it is too dangerous, not much different from the second layer under the poisonous fog back then.
"By the way, the fifth and sixth floors are so dangerous, why don't these things come up." Marlin was a little curious.
"This, according to the inference of the Mage Tower, should have something to do with the generator we opened, and their spirits will instinctively stay away from that thing, and the fourth and fifth floors are right at the junction of it."
Ingmar's answer made Marin very curious, but once the thing was wrapped in stone and metal, Marin thought that he couldn't see it.
But looking at it this way, according to the information that Marin has now, before the era of great destruction, this world had an extremely high level of science and technology.
Whether it is the sleeping pod that was used as a coffin I saw before, or the lightsaber of Faye, or the dungeon of the all-metal corridor I see now, they are all using ** to tell Marin how prosperous this world used to be.
"I sometimes wonder what my family would be like if the destruction hadn't happened, and if all these ten thousand years had not been experienced...... Ingmar sighed as she said this, "It's unimaginable, Marin, have you thought about it?" ”
"No, I've never thought of it that way." Marin shook his head.
"It's incredible, I've heard that you're a writer who wrote Sherlock Holmes, haven't you even thought about that?" Cassie, who was walking in front, turned his head and asked.
"Yes, because I don't know how to imagine a story from 10,000 years ago." Marin spread his hands - not really, for you, this is history.
And for me...... This is simply a science fiction story of the future.
Because in my memory, 10,000 years ago it was the Neolithic Age.
