Chapter 26 The tragic death of a villager for no reason

Three days later, Chen Gou came to the door of an adobe house in Panshi City whose gate was only two meters wide.

Although it is still better than the house in the slums, it is dwarfed by the station of the Varsity Clan.

After Chen Gou knocked lightly on the door, a young woman about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pockmarked face and a timid head peeking out of the crack in the door, looked inquiring.

Chen Gou said politely, "Is this the residence of the Changge Clan, which belongs to the left wing of the Abyss Knights?"

"Yes, may I ask you ......" The girl became more and more vigilant.

"Chen Gou, a new official member of the Changge team. Chen Gou took out a silver mask and raised his head.

Since he was canonized as a Silver Knight, the previous bronze mask was withdrawn and replaced with this silver mask.

"Ah...... It's Lord Knight, come on in, you look so young. The girl hurriedly opened the door and happily invited him in.

"Where's Captain Xin Qi?"

When you come to a new environment, the first thing you have to do is naturally to worship the boss.

People are fierce people with an awakening level of LV40 or above, and although they have just experienced a fiasco in which all the team members were killed, they are still emaciated camels bigger than horses.

"Captain he ......"

The girl sighed and said, "Alas, you will know it by yourself." ”

The yard is not big, less than a minute, Chen Gou followed the girl to the backyard, and saw a middle-aged man drunkenly leaning on the threshold, next to empty wine bottles.

Chen Gou clenched his right hand into a fist on his left chest, and saluted: "Captain, Chen Gou came to report on the order of the Knights' Rock Branch Headquarters. ”

The man in the middle had his eyes closed, he snored from his snort, and there was no reaction, and a scar that ran through the entire left half of his face crawled on his face like a centipede, looking shocking.

"Team member Chen Gou came to report!" Chen Gou couldn't help but accentuate his voice and repeated loudly.

Xin Qi turned over and pointed his ass behind his back at him, still not responding.

Chen Gou sighed helplessly: "How long has he been like this?"

"It's been like this since I was rescued. ”

The girl also sighed and said, "I'm really worried that the adults will continue to be decadent like this, and they won't be able to cheer up, and the death of several other knights, especially Lord Anan, will hit him too hard...... They are lovers, and Master Anan is already pregnant, so she originally planned to concentrate on cultivation after completing the last mission. ”

No wonder......

Chen Gou couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy for the drunk man in front of him.

The man doesn't flick when he has tears, just because he hasn't reached the sad place.

In the next half hour, Chen Gou learned a lot of information related to the Changge team from the girl.

The girl's name is Ah Yun, and she is an orphan girl taken in by the Changge clan a few years ago, and later plays the role of the team's life steward and the like.

All along, he has helped the Changge team to take care of things outside of the battle in an orderly manner.

This time, the Changge team suffered a heavy blow, and was swept to the end, reduced to bronze, and all the other servants left, only she followed her unabandoningly, taking care of Xin Qi, who had become a waste.

Bang! bang......

There was another knock on the door, and Ah Yun was about to open the door, but Chen Gou stopped her and walked over by herself.

When I opened the door, it was Dongli standing outside.

"Where's your sister?" Chen Gou glanced behind him, but there was no one.

"My sister was temporarily called by a big man from the Holy City to accompany her today, and I will introduce you to you in a few days. ”

Chen Gou said disdainfully: "Is it that in a few days, it will be said that this big man has taken a fancy to your sister, and then took her to the Holy City?"

"Listen to you...... It's not impossible. Dongli touched his chin, his eyes shining.

Chen Gou: "Cheap!"

"Hehe......"

Dong Li stepped forward and hooked his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer, that favor will definitely find a chance to return it to you." ”

"Huh!"

Suddenly, the expressions on both of their faces converged at the same time, and an abyssal knight rode to the door.

"The Abyss Knight Rock Division Headquarters has an order, and the Changge Clan has received the order!" the knight shouted as he rode his horse.

Hearing that the Tao was an order from the headquarters of the sub-regiment, Chen Gou and Dongli did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly stepped forward.

"What about Xin Qi?" the knight held a roll of parchment rolled together in his hand and did not give it to them directly.

"He ......," Chen Gou didn't know what to say.

"Forget it, leave it to him. The knight shook his head slightly, tossed the parchment roll to Chen Gou, and then sighed and rode away.

"Captain, the headquarters is on a mission!"

Chen Gou and Dong Li returned to the courtyard, turned Xin Qi over, and tried to wake him up, but they almost fainted from a sour sour smoking.

"It seems that we can't count on it, so we can only rely on ourselves. ”

Chen Gou sighed again, he felt that he sighed more today than he had added up after the crossing.

"Let's open it first. ”

Dongli took the parchment roll and slowly unfolded it with mana activation.

[Mission: Investigate and solve the unexplained tragic death of a villager in Baishi Village.] 】

[Difficulty: 2 stars]

[Location: Baishi Village, thirty miles southeast of the outskirts of Panshi City.] 】

[Description: Three days ago, I received a report from the head of Baishi Village that since a month ago, some villagers in the village had died tragically at home for no reason, and they could not find the slightest scars on their bodies, but their expressions were terrified, as if they had encountered extremely terrifying things.

There was once a private demon hunting team hired to investigate, but nothing was found, and some people still died tragically for no reason. 】

[Suggestion 1: The Ministry believes that it may be a vendetta case committed by the villagers by some special means, disguised as an evil attack.] 】

[Suggestion 2: Even if it is done by an evil demon, it should be a low-strength existence, because the dead are all civilians, and there is no record of the Awakened being attacked.] 】

[Suggestion 3: Focus on the direction of unknown poison or soul attack.] 】

[Reward: 50 merit points will be awarded for investigating the cause of the incident, and 100 merit points will be awarded for solving the entire crisis event, and there will be no punishment for the failure of this mission.] 】

[Note: Based on the existing information, the headquarters has temporarily set the danger level as two stars, but the incident may have a higher danger level, and once the situation is found to have changed, it is allowed to evacuate in advance and report to the headquarters.] 】

[Deadline: Leave immediately, results within a week.] 】

Dongli carefully examined the mission information twice and muttered: "It seems that this is the headquarters for us to practice, if it is only a two-star difficulty...... The two of us should be able to handle it too. ”

"That's all there is to it, hopefully by the time we get back, the captain will be cheered up. ”

Chen Gou also knew that they had no other way, and there were generally two extreme situations after a man was hit hard.

Either they are extremely indifferent and do everything they can to take revenge, or they are crushed, have nothing to love, and fall into a slump.

Unfortunately, their captain, Xin Qi, is the latter.

Usually in this case, no one else can help except figure it out himself.

Of course, Chen Gou and Dongli dared to carry out the task in the absence of the captain, and they also had some confidence.

After all, they have all experienced the abyss assessment of entering the demon world, and a two-star mission around Rock City, even if it can't be completed, there shouldn't be any danger.

Then the two said goodbye to Ah Yun and told her to take good care of the captain, and then went to the knight's headquarters to get their armor weapons and war horses.

The war horses are two young black abyss horses, and they are also the most valuable "supplies" distributed to them by the headquarters.

In addition, all the Abyssal Knights can receive for free are armor and weapons made of ordinary steel.

If you want a law weapon, even if it is the lowest bronze rank, you need to exchange it for merit points.

Of course, these stainless steel armor and weapons just don't have the power of the law, and in terms of strength and sharpness, they are definitely high-quality.

Armor Chen Gou didn't need the Deathwalker armor, and instead of using a long sword, he chose a long-handled hammer that looked similar to a scepter and had an octagonal prismatic shape at the top.

As the saying goes, one inch is long and one inch is strong, as a summoner, he doesn't like to be close to the enemy, so the attack range of the weapon is naturally as large as possible.

He couldn't play with bows and arrows, so he had to use this lance-like hammer.

Half an hour later, amid the speculation and awe of many civilians, two young knights rode out of the city gate on their horses and plunged headlong into the vast wilderness.

............

Baishi Village is relatively a large village.

There are more than 100 households in total, four or five hundred people, and a small town can be built in a few more years.

When Chen Gou and Dongli galloped to the entrance of the village, they saw a small group of people blocking the road leading to the village.

"The Wildfire Demon Hunters are cleaning up the demons, and no one is allowed to approach ......"

One of the strong men with big shoulders and round waist shouted warnings from afar, but how could Chen Gou and Dongli listen to his nonsense.

Dongli took the lead, without the slightest intention of slowing down, riding the black abyss war horse covered in armor, and directly and fiercely collided with it.

Overbearing and unreasonable.

"Abyss Knight!"

Including the strong man, the people near the crossing shouted in unison, and immediately flashed to both sides to make way for the passage.

"The Holy See has sent the Abyss Knights here, and it seems that there is nothing to do with us. A yellow-haired man beside the strong man looked at the knight's back and stomped his feet.

"That maybe, the Abyss Knight team has always been all in one place, and there are only two of them, and it is very likely that they have just been formed...... It is estimated that they are two newcomers who have just passed the abyss assessment.

The demons here are very weird, they don't leave a trace, and inexperienced demon hunters are easy to lose!"

The strong man said in a low voice, these folk demon hunting groups have always been able to pick up official leftovers to eat, and some rebellious people think that they are no worse than the knights of the three major knights, and they are not convinced.

"Jokes aside, but seriously, I'd like them to find out what's going on behind them. The other whispered.

Their Wildfire Demon Hunters have been here for five or six days, but they haven't found any clues.

Not only are villagers still dying every day, but there are even signs of increasing numbers, and the killer behind them seems to be provoking them.
