0114. Mayor Assassin

Is the so-called woman reasonably willful and fickle? Hodge did not respond to this, after all, Tina was already slightly drunk at this time, so why bother to correct her words.

"He doesn't ...... at all I don't know how much I've paid for him, and I even say ...... I betrayed him?"

Tina hung her head drunkenly, and suddenly stretched out her hand to cut her hair tous, and roared in a voice that was close to hoarseness:

"On the one hand, my beloved husband, on the other hand, my father who raised me and loved me, what can I do?

Hodge looked at Tina with sympathy in his eyes, and from these words, he could vaguely understand the fierce struggle and confrontation in the heart of this seemingly beautiful lady.

Still, he had to take the opportunity to ask for information in his favor, even if it meant cruel to Tina.

"I just heard your conversation, and you said that Sagisan has a disease? He asked tentatively.

Tina was so fascinated that it took a long time for her to reply, "Yes, five years ago, when he was making a woodcarver, he suddenly dropped his carving knife on the ground, you have to know how important it is for a master woodcarver."

He once told me that the carving knife and the wood embryo are the second life of the wood carver, and that they should not be taken lightly under any circumstances.

That was the first time I saw him unable to hold the knife in his hand, and I thought it was just an accident, and I reassured him that the occasional mistake was okay, but he was scared and anxious, and he hugged me and kept muttering, "I can't hold the knife" and "I can't hold the knife." ”

"And then?" Hodge asks the question appropriately, not letting Tina's narrative be too monotonous.

Tina continued: "And then, as he said, since that incident, he didn't talk about holding a knife, just touching the hilt, his hand would tremble involuntarily, and he couldn't stop at all.

Although the daily activities of life can still be completed without success, for the carpenter his career is over.

I didn't want to see him decadent forever, so I searched for a famous doctor to cure the cause of his intermittent tremors in his hands, but I didn't want the end result to be so surprising.

There was something in his head, which was said to be expanding and oppressing his brain, which caused him to be unable to control himself in certain activities, and if that thing was allowed to expand, his consciousness would become further confused, and he would either become a madman or a dead man. ”

Hodge was a little surprised, if Tina's statement was true, then Sagisan was obviously a terminally ill patient, although his knowledge of herbology could not figure out how to find the tumor bulb growing in the brain in this era, but at least he could be sure that with the current level of medical skills, it was impossible to perform a craniotomy, let alone remove.

Sagisan should have died, but the truth is that he is still alive and well for the past five years.

This is simply not something that can happen...... It suddenly occurred to him that Sagisan seemed to have mentioned something called Black Hexagon?

"Black Hexagon, what is it?"

Hodge remembers very well that he had never seen the term in any books.

"You're not from Downwind, and no wonder, it's a fairy tale that circulates in Downwind. ”

Fairy tales?

"According to legendβ€”"

Tina cleared her throat and slowly recounted: "There was once a fisherman's wife who was seriously ill, and no matter how many doctors were called, he could not do anything, but he loved his wife so much that he would not give up no matter what, and one day while he was sailing and fishing, he accidentally caught a glowing fish, and just as he was amazed, the fish actually spoke, telling him that he was the embodiment of the sea, and begged him to return himself to the sea, after which he would repay his kindness. ”

I see.

Hodge nodded, he could already think of the later plot, about the fisherman after returning the light fish, in order to thank him for his kindness, the light fish did not know how to give some kind of elixir to the fisherman, so that he could heal his wife, and that kind of thing is called black hexagon.

But the fisherman refused the request of the light fish. ”

Tina continued: "He thought that the will of the sea was vast and that even a corner would not hurt, but to his wife the power of the sea might heal his wounds, so he took the fish home and cooked it over a high fire for a day and a night, by which time the flesh had completely rotted into a thick juice and only the skeleton remained.

The skeleton of the light fish is different from ordinary fish bones, the whole body is pitch black, crystal like jade, and the shape changes under the decoction, and finally becomes a small, hexagonal stone, and it is no longer hard, it is a softer block, it is called the black hexagon, and the fisherman fed this thing to his wife. ”

Hodge thought of the closest thing Tina had to describe to make it easier for him to understand.

"The fisherman's wife's illness is cured?"

"Well, everything is as good as ever, as if I had never been seriously ill. ”

After Tina finished speaking, she laughed in a low voice: "But the follow-up of this story doesn't know much, the light fish is the doppelganger of the sea, and the sea is selfish at the same time, and will punish the fishing boats that fish the people with thunderstorms and waves, and will not let go of those who covet their own power, so from the moment she took the black hexagon, the fisherman became a person between life and death, she received an unbreakable curse, and while the body healed, the flow of blood gradually stopped, and finally blocked the heart, solidifying the heart into a stone." ......”

"Not to mention that it is a virtual thing that only exists in fairy tales, and even if there is, it is not something that ordinary people can carry, so I said that he is simply crazy. ”

After Tina drank the ale from her glass, she called for another glass of white water, drank it and shook her head.

"I'm talking a little too much. ”

Tina came to her senses and waved her hand, I had to go back.

"I'll send you. ”

Hodge got up and held Tina, it was impossible for her to walk safely back to the town hall in her current condition, and if something did happen to her on the way back, it would inevitably involve herself who met her last.

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

The building of the town hall was already in sight, but suddenly a sharp bell was heard, and the tapping sound of many people running quickly.

"It's a warning bell!"

Tina came to her senses and hurried forward to grab a soldier who was running in a hurry.

"Husband...... Madame!"

"What's going on?" asked Tina, speaking very quickly.

"The Mayor was stabbed. The soldier hesitated slightly, and under Tina's gaze, he said, "The murderer is the witcher!
