Chapter 7: Appearance

"Bang bang, bang bang,"

"Who, in the middle of the night, let no one sleep. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo”

"I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I have something important to ask the sheriff. ”

"What's important?" said the doorman, impatiently, and did not hurry to open the door.

"Something about the missing child Colin. ”

"Oh, that's right. ”

"Please wait, I'll go and inform your lord right away. A dense sound of footsteps faded away.

It seems that Sheriff Gray did take the case very seriously.

Soon after, a tall man in a black coat with a face as tough as a knife appeared at the door, wrinkled his nose slightly, and asked with a hint of majesty, "You found the clue to Colin's disappearance?"

"Yes, sir. ”

"Okay, come in. β€œ

"If that's true, you're going to have a good time. ”

"Here's the thing、、、、"

"I have a plan to catch the murderer, and I want to discuss it with you. ”

Early in the morning, the town begins another day of hustle and bustle.

In the tavern, the young man Crow was flushed with his face as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and he shouted to Rodin

"Did you hear? Someone has completed the commission for Colin's disappearance. Oh my God, three hundred Marelli, if only I could give it to me, half a year's salary, and I can live happily with the girls for a month. ”

Rodin teased, "Come on, don't daydream, tell me about it." β€œ

"I heard my cousin say that he's on patrol, you know?" said Crowe, with a look of pride, said:

"A corpse was dug up in the wasteland to the east of the town, and its whole body was decomposed. The smell was so smoked that people had to vomit out even the overnight meal. β€œ

"Oh, east, have you asked your family to verify?"

"It's gone, it's all bloody and blurry, but it's about the same height, and the professional coroner is still checking the cause of death. β€œ

"Eight or nine is not far from ten, I think it must be murder. Rodin replied quietly. The sparse crowd of guests in the tavern gradually gathered around, and the topic of discussion between the two obviously attracted them.

Not only in the tavern, this story is gradually spreading in the hidden town.

Snakes, insects, rats and ants in the shadows can't stand it.

At noon, two sneaky figures quietly walked out of the town along the western path.

Under the scorching sun, the pile of stones where the corpses were buried emitted a foul smell.

A tall, muscular man in brown leather armor with a sword at his waist led a graceful woman to the haystack. As soon as they smelled this smell, they couldn't help but exhale relaxed at the same time: "The corpse is obviously still here, whose corpse did the militia find?"

The woman still asked a little resignedly, "Why don't we leave the town?"

"Iβ€”I'm so scared, I think they'll find out about us sooner or later. ”

"What are you afraid of, I'm here. When the man saw the woman's charming appearance, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand behind her and rub it.

"Whew, don't be here. The woman said as she said a flush on her white face, and it was Barbara.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound all around, and two stone piles were lifted at once, revealing a human figure.

"Herder, I didn't expect it to be you. ”

The man in the center was dressed in a black coat, stained with a lot of mud, with thick eyebrows and broad eyes, and he was Sheriff Gray.

"Barbara, conspire with an adulterer to kill your own child, how can you bear it!"

Rodin then walked out of the stone pile, but thought to himself, "The facts and Leviathan's inferences match, this old man must have some secrets." ”

Rodin changed into a new gray coat and carried a wooden sword, and his whole person looked much more mature.

"Woo. Barbara, suddenly, covered her mouth with her hands, and the whole person was close to collapse.

Herder looked left and right, and suddenly his face changed, and he suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist.

The blade came out of its sheath, and a dazzling silver light reflected in the scorching sun.

"Whew. The sturdy figure rushed towards Gray like lightning, and it was just a dozen meters away, and it was just a blink of an eye.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gray drew his saber and rolled to the ground like oil under his feet, as a sheriff, his skills were quite athletic.

This flash made Herder pounce and lose the opportunity.

Rodin took advantage of the situation and pounced behind him, and instantly entered the state of practicing swords for 3 months, stabbing out with a sword, and taking the middle lane,

Although the wooden sword was not as sharp, it emitted a sharp hiss that pierced the air.

The blade of the "poof" sword reached his body, and Herder narrowly avoided it, but a bloody wound was cut on his arm.

"It's a pity. "Rodin, who had been stabbed in the neck outside of his leather armor, was flashed over.

At this moment, Gray also stood with his sword in his hand, and blocked Helde one after the other with Rodin.

"Held, before you can tie your hands down, Jeff will arrive with the team. ”

"Don't be stupid, you dare to be so tempted, I don't think you will tell anyone about this. ”

"A sluggish old thing, a little rookie. Why do you want to keep me?"

With just one glance, he could see the clue, and Rodin's vigilance rose to the highest.

"I've long been tired of you old thing, obviously I usually work hard and complain, much more diligent than Jeff, but you chose him to be the next sheriff, this time the new and old hatreds are counted together, and I will take Barbara away after taking care of you. β€œ

The three of them confronted each other, and Barbara took the opportunity to run outside.

"Stinky ****! actually left me and ran away. ”

For a moment, Herder lost his mind for a moment, and the sheriff seized the opportunity to attack.

This is a real sword fight, different from the previous trials between Rodin and Leviathan (Leviathan keeps his hand. It's not like simmering in warm water like on TV in my previous life.

It's more like the group of barbarians in an American drama Spartacus,

The sheriff seized the opportunity, and the sword momentum continued, and he slashed a few swords fiercely.

The sound of gold and iron, the sword light.

One move opens and closes, the momentum is strong and heavy, like a giant bear pounced, while dodging and moving, even with moves and unloading, the body is agile and vigorous like a cheetah, quietly waiting for the opportunity.

On either side, they are veterans who have been practicing swordsmanship for decades, far from being comparable to the current Rodin. He stabbed several swords in quick succession, but to no avail, and Herder dodged as if he had eyes behind him.

The gap in body style was too obvious, and Rodin's pace was rigid and stiff, and he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the two at all.

As time passed, the scales of victory tipped in Herder's favor. After all, Gray is in his fifties and has a lot of experience in sword fighting, but he can't stand the young and powerful opponent.

Rodin's heart fluctuated slightly, and he couldn't help but be ruthless.

The frequency of the wooden sword increased significantly, stabbing into the ankles, necks, and gaps in the armor of the opponent.

In just ten minutes, a trace of sweat oozed from Herder's forehead, and his underwear under the armor was already soaked.

With one enemy and two enemies, the opponent behind him is still so insidious, he can't help but hate it in his heart. Seeing that Gray was panting, his chest was rising and falling fiercely, he suddenly drew a half circle, blocking the opponents on both sides, and the slender steel sword slashed through the air in front of him like a meteor.

"Whew-"

Under the blue sky and white sun, an extremely strange scene suddenly appeared.

A crimson light erupted like flames, instantly covering the blade in Held's hand.

In a flash of lightning, a fierce vertical slash slashed the air, and the sword roared.

The sheriff's face changed dramatically, and he wanted to get out but it was too late.

Rodin only saw the air in front of him magically appear out of thin air with a crimson half-moon-shaped light as Herder's blade pointed.

So beautiful, fleeting.

"Poofβ€”"

The flower of blood bloomed from the sheriff, and a thick arm disappeared.

An unprecedented sense of crisis loomed over my heart. Rodin's head suddenly flooded with Leviathan's words.

The stabbing sword is simple and fierce, and if you can grasp the right time, you may not be able to defeat the enemy with one move.

Rodin's body rolled smartly, and Heard turned, just turning his back to the enemy.

At this moment, it seemed that the sword just now had consumed too much strength, and his reaction was strangely delayed a little.

And then, no more.

A wooden sword, roaring, dragged out of an afterimage, as if out of thin air, deep into the intersection of Herder's neck.

Poof, a stream of blood splattered out, spilling all over Rodin's body, and he looked at his opponent's originally tall and strong figure, as if it had been shaven from the bones, and fell to the ground softly and heavily.

"Whew," Rodin breathed a sigh of relief, his palms and forehead were full of sweat. stood up quickly, but found that some hands and feet were weak, and the explosion at that moment exhausted his physical strength.

Sheriff Grey's face was bloodless, and he gasped in pain.

"I made a mistake, I didn't expect this vicious guy to comprehend his strength, and he has been hiding it. ”

Domination?

Picking up Gray and picking up his severed arm, the two of them supported each other and walked slowly towards Hidden Town.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he turned his head and smiled nervously.

This world seems to be getting more and more exciting.
