Chapter 0436 - Interception of Mestalks
"Ah, here, I was really shot!" The person who spoke first had a bit of urgency in his tone: "Quick, quickly search him and find out the whereabouts of 'that thing'." ”
Guan Heng secretly observed on the tree, and found that these two people were big men, wearing half-new leather armor, hanging sharp blades from their waists, and holding longbows in their hands, and he pondered in his heart: "Looking at the dress of these two people, they don't look like killers, but like professional mercenaries......"
At this moment, the two big men had already searched the dead man's body, but found nothing, and one of them complained: "Damn, could it be that this kid accidentally dropped something somewhere when he fled for his life just now?" ”
His companion said: "I think it's better to forget it, anyway, the person is dead, let's go back and explain to the boss, and say that the secret letter has been burned, which can be regarded as death without proof." ”
The person who spoke first nodded: "Okay, hurry up and clean up the corpse, let's withdraw." ”
At this point, one of them took out the object of fire from his body, lit it with a bang, and threw it on the deceased, and the flames crackled, and the two turned away, and disappeared in a few seconds.
"Poof!" When it was too late, Guan Heng jumped down from the treetops, and the flames had been extinguished with a wave of his hand, and then he looked at the dead man, who had been burned black, but could barely make out that he was a young man with a beautiful face, and a pair of pointed ears.
"An elven?!"
Guan Heng was suddenly shocked in his heart, the people of the elf clan rarely move outside the elf forest, unless there are special circumstances, otherwise, this person is a half-elf, Guan Heng was a little curious in his heart, walked to the rock where this person was hiding something before he died, and reached out and took out the thing that was tucked under the stone.
"It turned out to be a letter wrapped in oiled paper......" Guan Heng unfolded the letter and looked at it carefully through the fire elements that had gathered.
There is not much content on the letter, but it is written that in a month and a half, the "Iron and Blood Mercenary Group" will carry out a major purge, and someone will secretly attack and kill the captain of the first detachment of the first detachment, Melti and her men, and set up an ambush on the road to the elven forest at that time......
"Melti?!" When Guan Heng saw this familiar name, his heart suddenly tightened, and he gritted his teeth and said to himself: "How can this be reasonable, these guys dare to plan to murder my sister, I will never let them go!" ”
Half-elf girl Melti, after Guan Heng came to the Ashton Continent, was rescued on the outskirts of Aromatic Town, when they were about to separate, they also became brothers and sisters, Melti in order to make herself stronger, so she went to the mercenary group alone, planning to use actual combat to constantly hone herself.
At this time, the little monkey jumped out of Guan Heng's arms and began to rummage around the deceased.
Guan Heng asked a little inexplicably: "Hey, little monkey, what are you doing?" ”
"Tsk!" At this moment, the little red monkey pulled a small leather bag from the waist of the deceased, and bit it with his teeth, "Click! Having bitten the rope on it, the little monkey then turned the pouch downward, only to see a fruit with a blue-gray glow and a strange fragrance rolling out of the bones.
"Huh?! This is ......" Guan Heng picked up the letter first, picked up the fruit casually and looked at it carefully, he then smiled and said: "Ah, I have seen this fruit in a precious plant illustrated book, its name seems to be 'Xiangsheng Fruit' or something, it is a rare fruit that grows on the giant tree of the Elven Forest. ”
"Twitter." At this moment, the little red monkey was a little dissatisfied with Guan Heng taking the fragrant holy fruit first, it screamed, jumped onto Guan Heng's arm, and stretched out its front paws to grab it.
Guan Heng said: "I think you must have smelled the scent of the fragrant holy fruit and came here, but the shell of this fruit is as hard as iron, can you bite it?" ”
Hearing Guan Heng's words, the little red monkey suddenly froze on the spot, it retracted its paws in embarrassment, and looked at Guan Heng with an expectant face, the latter smiled slightly: "Okay, when I return to the Keystone Town Hotel, I will find a way to smash it open for you and let you taste the flesh inside." ”
"Twitter......" The little red monkey smiled happily when he heard this, and shouted twice very proudly.
"But, after a month and a half, I have to find a way to inform or rescue Melti." Guan Heng touched the letter and secretly kept this matter in his heart: "My sister is in danger, but I can't ignore it." ”
"I'm sorry, I don't know what your name is." Guan Heng whispered to the deceased: "I will solve the matter of Melti, and Your Excellency will rest in peace." ”
After that, Guan Heng took out the tools from the space ring, dug a deep pit, and buried the deceased properly, in order not to attract the attention of the bad guys, Guan Heng did not set up a tombstone, but only made a mark nearby, so that Melti could come to worship in the future.
"Okay little monkey, let's go." Guan Heng led the little red monkey and hurried out of the forest and walked straight into the cornerstone town.
Moments later, on the second floor of the town inn.
"Aha, the stew made by the proprietress is really delicious." Guan Heng, who had a full meal, patted his belly with satisfaction, and then asked Dennis: "So, you have inquired about everything clearly?" ”
"Yes, it is well connected here, and people from other towns often come to stay at the hotel, so it is very convenient to inquire about all kinds of information."
Denis threw the bone in his hand to the little red monkey, who took it and gnawed it with great pleasure, and then said: "While you were away, I carefully asked someone, and I heard that many residents of nearby towns have been stricken with an inexplicable plague overnight. ”
"Overnight?" Guan Heng's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly felt that something was not quite right in his heart: "Are these people really sick at the same time?" ”
"That's right, it should have been just a month ago."
Denis then took out a topographical map of a nearby town, spread it out on the table, and pointed to a place above it and said, "First of all, from this little village of Malu, the villagers began to vomit and diarrhea overnight, and with high fever, the first person who fell ill would die of great pain within three days. ”
"Tsk, what a ferocious plague." Guan Heng couldn't help frowning and said, "Janis, you said that this plague spreading everywhere could be caused by man?" ”
"Guan Heng, you mean...... Did anyone poison it? Jennis only felt bitterness in his mouth, he could hardly believe his ears, and then he snorted and said: "Your inference is too sensational, if it is poisoned by man, what good is it for the murderer?" ”
"I don't know much about that." Guan Heng touched his chin and pondered: "Any abnormal man-made event must be accompanied by some interests, but we didn't expect it now." ”
