On the morning of this day, another body was recovered in the moat of Banyas City, which was the fifth body found in the moat in the past half a month. Similar to the previous four corpses, this corpse was also cut by a sharp blade, and its original appearance could not be seen. It can only be vaguely identified by the clothing of the corpse that it should be a nobleman.

When the first corpse appeared, the City Lord's Mansion didn't care. People disappear every day in Banyas City for no reason, and the appearance of this corpse can only say that the person who killed him was too careless to throw it directly into the moat. But when the second and third corpses killed in the same way appeared in the moat, rumors began to circulate in Banyas City that murderers ate people and sucked blood at midnight, and everyone in Banyas City was in danger for a while. And when the fourth corpse, the murdered corpse of a nobleman, appeared, the City Lord's Mansion could no longer allow this murderer to act recklessly.

Hoover crouched down and unwrapped the corpse's clothes, carefully examining the corpse's condition. After examining the corpses, Hoover roughly understood the cause of death of the deceased, which was the same as the previous four corpses, all of which were killed by a sharp blade with a cut throat and excessive blood loss. There were no other wounds on the corpse, except for a snake bite on the right calf. And the bite mark of the snake on the right calf, judging from the wound, should be a highly venomous snake, even if the murderer does not cut the throat of the deceased, the deceased will be poisoned to death. As for the messy wounds on his face, Hoover could only believe that they were just the murderer's anger.

"Come on, carry this corpse away. Hoover stood up and looked at the calm moat, then walked inside. The soldiers waiting on the side, Cao Cao's threw the body on the flat cart, ready to push it to the Convent of the Sisters of Silence.

In the city lord's mansion of Banyas City, Governor Gustanford Creed was sitting at his desk with a frown, and in the last half month, a murderous maniac appeared in Banyas City and made him anxious. Although, the people who died now are all ordinary people, and they can be left alone for the time being, but one day this murderous demon will find the head of the nobles. The nobles who have always cherished their lives are all rumoring at the moment, constantly urging themselves to catch the murderer.

"My lord, Sir Hoover has asked to see you. "The voice of the steward of the city lord's mansion came from outside the house, and Gu Stanford has been afraid of Sir Hoover recently, and there is no good news every time he comes. "Let him in. ”

Sir Hoover, dressed in military uniform, walked into the room and bowed to Stanford. Ancient Stanford was surprised to see Hoover's outfit, "Sir, what are you doing here?" "Catch the murderer, Lord Governor!" Sir Hoover said in a deep voice. "Do you already know the identity of the murderer?" asked Stanford as he stood up excitedly. "Yes, Lord Governor. According to the investigation of his subordinates, the identity of the murderer has been discovered, he is the assassin of the Shadow Council, the Green Viper! Now all you need is the adult to sign an order for the Shadow Council to cooperate with the City Lord's Mansion to arrest people. ”

After listening to Sir Hoover's words, Gu Stanford calmed down, "Lord Sir, do you know how much of an impact it will have to catch an assassin of the Shadow Council with great fanfare?" ”

"My lord, my subordinates have found out that this green viper has been put on the mission list of the Shadow Council. As long as the Shadow Council reveals a little bit about the Green Viper's recent whereabouts and some information, I'm confident that I'll be able to catch him. Your Excellency the Governor. Sir Hoover exclaimed.

"Sir Hoover, put this matter aside for now, try to figure out why this green viper is suddenly killing innocents, and then decide whether to go to the Shadow Council to ask for someone. "Ancient Stanford flatly rejected Hoover's request. "However, the Governor's Green Viper has already extended its poisonous hand to the nobles of the city. Just now, the body of a nobleman killed by the green viper was recovered from the moat. Seeing that Gust Stanford had rejected his proposal, Hoover hurriedly said. "Sir Hoover, I said that this matter will be put aside for the time being, and you will continue to track down the motives of the Green Viper according to the previous train of thought. When Gu Stanford saw that Hoover still wanted to go to the Shadow Council to ask for someone, he was a little impatient and said in an unkind tone. Seeing that Stanford was already angry, Sir Hoover knew that he could not do it today, so he had no choice but to bow to Stanford and leave.

Watching Hoover walk out of the study, Gust Stanford rubbed his temples that were a little painful, "Lord Nimit, this son of yours can really cause trouble. Hearing Gustanford's complaints, Nimiit Adomondo, who was hiding behind the screen, walked out with a smile, looking at Gustanford with a sad face, Nimit also looked helpless, "I hope the Governor will forgive me, after all, the Adomondo family has only one heir." It's a bit of a fuss, but after all, it's someone else's fault first, and my child is just taking revenge. "I don't think anyone on the continent would have thought that the only heir of the Adomondo family on the rich side would be the famous assassin of the Shadow Council, the Green Viper. Gustanford walked up to Nimit with a serious expression, "Lord Nimit, let your child stop." Do you have to make trouble to the point where the city is out of control? Today it is only a small nobleman who died, and if he finds out which big nobleman is on the head tomorrow, even the Adomondo family will not be able to bear it. ”

"Your Excellency, the Adomondo family will pay its debts and avenge its vengeance. Even if His Majesty the Emperor is involved in this matter, I, the Adomondo family, will do my best. Nimith stood up and looked directly at the governor of Benehaqd, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Didn't the Adomondo family find out who was behind the mud alley?" asked Gust Stanford, relentlessly, "My child wants to take revenge on his own." Nimmit smiled. Ancient Stanford knew that the people of the Adomondo family were dead-headed, but he never thought that they were so brainless, and he really didn't know how they could make their business bigger.

Seeing that Nirmit could not be dissuaded from changing his mind, Gustanford stopped insisting, but he hoped that Nimit would tell his son not to overdo it. After receiving Nimmit's affirmative answer, Gust Stanford also issued an eviction order.

Nimit sat in a carriage drawn by four horses, and the butler Fukuna handed him a roll of parchment. "Just tell me the results. Instead of taking the parchment, Nimith closed his eyes and began to close his mind. "The boy is very badly injured and should have no problem surviving. But the girl ......" Fukuna didn't choose to continue, and Nimiit just mumbled.

"Sir, will the young master agree to us doing this?" asked Fukuna in a low voice, "even if you let him mess around any longer, you must have a degree." Ah Fu, after letting the clues out and making him suffer a little, let this matter end. Tossing around like this all day really disgraced the Adomondo family. Nimmit's voice seemed to be emotionless. "Yes, sir. ”

In the inn of Banyas City, Arthur was exercising while listening to his squire Cevens report on the recent events in the city. When Arthur hears that another dead body has been found in the moat this morning, Arthur puts the barbell on the ground and begins to ask Svence about the ins and outs of the matter. After listening to Saiwens's narration, Arthur's slightly immature face was a little angry, it was obvious that this was a murderous maniac venting his heart's desire, and he had to stop it immediately.

After Duke Hendris's departure, Arthur became free, although Duke Hendris, before leaving, explained a lot to Arthur and set a deadline for his return. But the heroic act of eliminating violence and peace, I believe that my uncle will not be angry.

"Sevens, is there any news about the killer of this serial murder?" Arthur began to solve the case. "Your Royal Highness, regarding the news of this serial murder case, Banyas City seems to be deliberately blocking the news. What the subordinates temporarily learned was that the murderer of this serial murder case seemed to be the assassin of the Shadow Council-Green Viper, and the five corpses found so far all had traces of being bitten by poisonous snakes, and the fatal injuries suffered by the victims were all the usual killing methods used by Green Vipers. Sawens replied.

"Assassin of the Shadow Council, how could he make such a low-level mistake so that others could find out from the corpse that he had done it?" Arthur was a little puzzled, so that the identity of the assassin was too inferior. "This subordinate doesn't know. However, there are a few more interesting pieces of news here. Saiwens thought for a moment and said, "Several of the corpses found in Muddy Alley a few days ago were also directly decapitated by sharp blades, and the same corpses found on the road in front of Redbeard and Jenny's Tavern were also found in the same way. The subordinates suspected that these were also the work of the green viper, but because the opponents were all gangsters, the green viper did not bother to use the viper to kill them, and there were no bite marks of the poisonous snake found on the bodies of those gangsters. ”

"Do you know who did it in Muddy Alley and Redbeard and Jenny's Tavern?" Arthur hurriedly asked, seeing that there was something new. "No, the city defense forces of Banyas City treated these two things as ordinary vendettas, and their subordinates only learned about it because of the Duke. Sawens replied.

It seems that the top priority is to find out whether what happened in the tavern and mud alley is related to the current serial murder case, and if this is used as a breakthrough, it should be easier to deal with. "Severns, get ready, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion. Arthur was a little excited, if he could catch this murderous maniac, it would be worth the trip to the Eloda Empire. "Your Royal Highness, Sir Brann will be back in a moment, won't you wait for Sir Blanc?" said Savens hurriedly. Only then did Arthur remember that Uncle Brann had gone to the Flower Prairie to find the entrance to the Hundred Beast Plain, and if he couldn't find the entrance to the Hundred Beast Plains today, he would no longer have a chance this year. "Alright then, let's wait for Uncle Brynn to come back. Arthur replied helplessly.

Over time, the sun gradually shifts towards the west. Under Arthur's eyes, Branne's figure finally appeared in Arthur's eyes. "Your Royal Highness. Arthur held Brann, who wanted to salute, "Uncle, have you found the entrance to the original beast?" Although he really wanted to hunt down the murderer of the serial murder, Arthur also understood that the original entrance of the hundred beasts was the most important thing. "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, his subordinates searched all the locations predicted by the soothsayer, and found no clues of the original entrance of the hundred beasts, and his subordinates also asked people to expand the search area tenfold, but they did not find it. It seems that this year it will be impossible to enter the Hundred Beasts Plain. Sir Brann reported truthfully. "It seems that we will only have the opportunity to come back later. Arthur said regretfully, and the nobles who came back with Brann were all regretful.

"Uncle Brynn, I'm going to be tired from a long day, so let's go back and rest. "Since he knew that the Hundred Beasts couldn't get in now, it was better to catch that murderous demon first, Arthur was a little anxious and wanted to get out quickly. "Is His Royal Highness the Prince going out?" Brynn saw Arthur dressed in formal clothes, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is His Royal Highness the Prince going to meet with any nobleman?" "I want to go to the City Lord's Mansion to have a look." Asked by Brann, Arthur smiled awkwardly. "It just so happens that I am also going to the City Lord's Mansion to inform the Governor of the matter of the Hundred Beast Plains, and I happen to be walking with His Highness. Brann said. Arthur's expression became even more embarrassed when he heard this, I just wanted to ask about the murderer. Uncle Branne, you follow me like this, how can I ask?

Although he was reluctant to go with Sir Blann, Arthur could not find a reason to refuse, so he had to go to the Lord's Mansion with Brann.

At this time, Colwill is about to hide from a group of people.
