"I really...... Do you have to go along? ”

Stepan, who was sitting in the corner, rubbed his thighs uneasily, not knowing whether it was because of the vibration of the carriage or out of fear, but something made him shiver all the time.

"The four of us are wearing armor, what is there to worry about? Every knight has a duty, and you are no exception. The captain said to Stepan angrily, "If you are afraid of death, you can go back to the guild and stay, or just change jobs and go to the registration office to become a training officer, if you are not afraid of being ridiculed as a coward......"

"That's not a good idea... Well, I got it. Stepan rested his elbows on his sword, as if that would bring him some courage.

In fact, even Draenor was a little worried, in order to start an investigation as soon as possible, he, Dino and Jett didn't have time to change into armor, but at least he and Jett still had swords and the captain's trusty fists......

"But then again, you were quite like it just now, I thought we were still colleagues on an equal footing!" Jett turned to Draenor.

"Actually, it's no different, promotion doesn't mean you're superior, it's that tomorrow's tasks will be more onerous." Draenor shrugged in reply.

Indeed, if it weren't for Jett's reminder, he might have forgotten that he was already a second-order knight. However, this is because the promotion ceremony is too plain, not as grand as he imagined, and even in addition to the boiled water monologue of the head of the regiment, there is only the diamond-shaped badge on his chest.

The work will definitely get heavier and heavier in the future, not because he is worried about the reward, the reason why Draenor became a knight is purely to use the power of the Knights to defeat the Yazra who have pursued them all the way from Vlaktu. And now they have been completely driven out, and their work in the Order has become meaningless.

He looked at the silver badge on his chest, and when he was done with these things, he had to think about leaving Nagasus......

Dino poked his head out of the window and looked out for a while, and commanded the crowd:

"Check the gear."

"There are three more tranquilizers, four kerosene lamps, and no firearms ......," Jett reported to the captain as he placed the items on the side of his seat one by one.

"Only the parts that are used are enough." As soon as the words fell, the carriage drove through the corner of Narcissus Street and stopped at the intersection, the captain pushed the car door, raised the kerosene lamp in front of him and checked it for a while, and waved his hand at the three people in the car, "Start an investigation." ”

Following the captain towards the open space on the east side of Narcissus Street, Draenor remembered his previous monologue in the conference room, and it seemed necessary to replace the word "square", the slum clearing was like an eerie cemetery, and the dilapidated, ungoverned marble buildings were the tombstones.

"The 'Shedilando Square' in the Tello district is actually a wasteland, and it was originally intended to be built into a real square, but neither the money, nor the manpower, nor the income level of the surrounding residents could help Kerton realize this unrealistic dream. But at least it has the greatest use......" Dino walked to the door of the square and stopped, looking at the white pavilion in the distance, which had not yet been fully built.

"What is it for?" Draenor asked, his eyes still fixed on the ground, trying to find the blood left behind by the monster.

"Unlike the abandoned barns, it has an underground structure, but it's not a shelter." The captain paused for a moment, hiding the kerosene lamp behind him to deliberately create an atmosphere, "It's a catacomb. ”

A real cemetery...... Draenor was surprised that his idea had been confirmed, but it also made it clear that the area they were investigating was likely to be the catacombs of the Captain's mouth, which was undoubtedly the perfect hiding place for the bestiac.

"Are you sure that thing's trail is heading here, though?" The captain who walked in front then asked.

"You can't be wrong, I've confirmed it twice, just like Drano did." Jett said before Draenor could speak.

"Hmm...... That's the only possibility at the moment, isn't it? Draenor added.

In fact, the bloodstain had completely disappeared ten meters away from the room, and the reason why he dared to make a conclusion was because considering the environment around Lily of the Valley Road, if the killing beast was seen by more people, it would have caused panic a long time ago, and it would only flee to a place where no one had set foot foot.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not questioning what you mean...... I just want to be mentally prepared in advance, if that monster is really hiding somewhere in this square, it can only be in the juice of the catacombs..."The captain said, leading everyone along the only stone path to a ruined pavilion.

Draenor held the kerosene lamp in front of him, which was actually a canopy, with a stone tablet carved with Liccosven in the middle.

"This is it," Dino pointed to the plank in front of the stele, "the catacombs." ”

It was like a door...... Draenor stepped up the steps to the plank, and it was indeed an upwardly sloping wooden door, with broken chains hanging from the left and right sides, as if something had broken into it.

"This is it......" Stepan took a few steps back, repeating Dino's words, "yes, I can smell the thing, rotten, filthy flesh!" ”

Dino reached out and pulled Stepan back, pulling him up the steps, pushing the door open and stepping inside.

"Then we're on the right track, Draenor, you take care of Jett in the back, and we'll go down and explore the way first."

"Wait a minute, don't you think it's a little wrong to rush in with your current weapons?" Jett stood behind him and asked the knights.

"Weapons? These things are just decorations, and I don't think I'm trying to solve the problem with them. Dino's voice came through the door.

"Don't sell it, what can you rely on to deal with that monster?" Draenor beckoned to Jett and walked down against the cold wall.

Dino smiled back, lifted his right arm carrying the kerosene lamp and made a curl motion, patting the biceps that had swelled into an oval shape in the sleeve.

"Divine, of course, my brother. Debt collection inevitably involves violence, and divinity happens to be the most convenient and reliable kind. ”

"......" Draenor didn't know what to do for a while, the casual and naïve method made him feel a little afraid, but after getting along for so long, he knew that Dino was not a brave and reckless man.

The death of Instructor Reiner also made the captain feel guilty, this nearly two-meter-tall strong man was unusually delicate, but he was not good at expressing it. In fact, from the moment he wore the badge, Dino also felt the burden on his shoulders, avenged the dead, and fought side by side with the living...... But all of this is overshadowed by his peculiar, contradictory black humor.

Perhaps, he just wanted to do his duty as a captain to protect his teammates, so he used this way to comfort everyone.

The corridor leading to the catacombs was unusually cold, and Draenor pressed his other hand against the glass cover of the kerosene lamp, keeping warm while trying not to obscure the precious light source.

"Where does this tunnel lead?" He asked the captain.

"Nowhere to go, these are all dead ends, and the door behind you is the only exit." The captain pushed Stepan, who was cowering behind him, to the side, "It's like a miniature Kerton, but the roads are much more complicated, they weren't designed to be passageways, but to make room for the dead. ”

It seems that it will not be easy to find the beast in the tomb...... Draenor followed the captain on, he could imagine how complex the structure of the tomb would be, and the walls on either side of the stairs were several times wider when he walked down the stairs, enough for four or five coffins to pass side by side.

When he was still more than ten meters away from the fork in the road, the captain suddenly stopped, crouched down and seemed to be observing something.

"Stepan, you are the investigator of the previous case, if I remember correctly, are there two victims at 16 Narcissus Street?"

"That's right, the lady is dead, and the other victim is her husband, and the current speculation is that he is missing...... "Stepan replied, fearing that he would alarm the monster entrenched in the tomb.

"Confidently, this amount of time is enough time to conclude that he is indeed missing, and this matter is definitely related to the murderer."

Dino put the kerosene lamp aside and slowly stood up, turning around with something......

It was a shoe, a shoe-wearing, fleshy, severed foot to be exact.

Draenor could hear Jett gasp behind his back, and the captain wrapped the severed foot in sackcloth and received it in his bag, pointing to the dark fork in the road and saying to the two:

"I'll move on with Stepan, and you and Jett are on standby at that fork in the road. If we find an abnormality, we will notify you as soon as possible with a pager...... Be vigilant, the killer is nearby. ”
