Out of the city of Güell to the north, about two hours away, there is a town called Little Fore.

It was a railroad station town.

The railroad car, similar to the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century trains of the previous life, has a steam locomotive with seven or eight open-air carriages hanging behind it, which is very simple.

Originally, it was a minecart track that transported inland mineral goods to the port.

Later, with the trend of inland development, closed carriages for transporting passengers evolved, and became railway cars.

It is said that the Gaulung Federation of the Old Continent has popularized passenger-carrying railcars in the country, and even has a special administrative department.

There are only ten railroad lines built on the New Continent, two of which are on the Hill Peninsula.

One passes through the town of Little Fore, north of the city of Güell, and the other on the coast on the other side of the peninsula.

The public road from the front of Hill City to the town of Little Fore is flat and open, somewhat similar to the asphalt road of the previous life.

It is a road made of a special clay from the northern interior, mixed with gravel.

It is also a very common intercity highway in the New Olympian continent.

The only problem with this kind of dirt road is that after a long period of sun and rain, there will be raised particles on the surface of the pavement.

If you take off your shoes and bare your feet, you can feel the rubbing sensation on the soles of your feet.

Therefore, the loss of tires is very large, and those who travel far will bring their own tires.

However, it is flat and strong, no mud in rainy and snowy weather, easy to build, affordable and other advantages, making it the best choice for building intercity avenues.

The afternoon sun shines down, because of the frosted surface of the road, the colorful light points are refracted and dazzling.

On the highway, a mixed procession of horse-drawn carriages and automobiles walked slowly.

In the convoy, Thor sat in front of the carriage, wearing round-rimmed sunglasses, watching the scenery on both sides of the road.

The out-of-town suburbs of the city of Güell, as well as aristocratic estates, plantations, racetracks, etc., are less desolate.

Now all that catches your eye is the tall woods, the dense bushes, and the occasional smoke in a few places.

The trees are overgrown, the weeds are growing wildly, and there is a sense of ancient desolation.

This is also a common phenomenon in the vast and sparsely populated New Austrian continent, where people are basically concentrated in cities and towns.

Saul felt that this was very much like the first power in his previous life, the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Especially when I saw the town of Little Fore, the feeling was even stronger.

Little Fore is exactly what a western town looks like!

Centered on the railway station, the town is fan-shaped and spreads out in all directions.

The tallest building is the station, which is about eight or nine meters high and three stories high.

Next to the red arched buildings are the mayor's office, as well as the tax office, post office, police station, etc.

Several main roads accommodating four carriages running side by side, starting from the station and running through the town.

The roads are lined with low wooden buildings, mostly inns, pubs, and grocery stores run by the residents of Little Fore.

Close to the suburbs, there are blacksmiths, carriages, and mercenary taverns.

The town looks very prosperous, but it's mostly for railroad car passengers, or merchant travelers coming and going to Hill City.

Therefore, eighty percent of the residents are immigrants.

The city of Güell sent only two hundred-man teams to maintain law and order, one tax collector collected taxes, and the rest relied on the town's autonomy.

This is also a common model for the big cities of the New Olympian continent to manage the small towns to which they belong.

After all, it was developed by the colonies.

The convoy had just arrived at the entrance of the town when the tax collector, police chief, and mayor of Little Fore led their entourage to meet them quickly.

Thor got out of the carriage and didn't step forward, just following the vigilantes with muskets.

Wearing a tight leather suit, the chief of justice, Flod, with a sweaty bald head, squeezed out of the car.

Taking the straw hat handed over, Flot slapped it a few times, and said in a sullen voice:

"It's so hot! Okay, you know the purpose of my visit, so let's go to the scene first. ”

A few days ago, after learning about ghouls from Thor, the city of Quill took it very seriously.

Increase patrols inside the city, explore the surrounding area outside the city, and send out all the manpower, but nothing is gained.

The hidden danger in the dark is the biggest threat, which makes Mermelo and others very anxious.

However, a letter from Little Fall yesterday suddenly made a breakthrough in the McCarran incident.

So there was this action, and not only did Froud come in person, but he also invited Saul over.

In fact, Solben didn't want to leave his parents.

However, Mermelo personally visited the Hayworms and said that in order to stabilize the city of Güell, the city hall was very tight.

Moreover, it is said that this kind of incident cannot be dealt with by ordinary people.

In the end, Fiys came over to accompany the Hayworms in person, which reassured Saul a little and reluctantly agreed.

Instead of entering the town of Little Fore, Thor and his party walked to a cordoned-off cemetery at the back of the town.

After arriving at the destination, the mayor and the tax collector left one after another, leaving only the police chief to accompany them.

The police chief was a burly man in his forties, not much talking, but very dignified.

Even standing with Frode, more like a sheriff.

An obvious mass graveyard with long grass at the head of the grave, the tombstone broken in two, and a few scattered bones, lying in the rubble.

"The burials here are all passers-by who died accidentally, and there is usually no one to pay respects. ”

"A few days ago, I received a report that the newly buried body was dug up, and then only the bones were gnawed. ”

The police chief stood on the edge of several hollowed out graves, pointed to the white bones on the ground, and explained to Flot and others.

There was not a trace of carrion on the white bones, it was very clean, and the deep tooth marks were clearly visible.

"At first we thought it was a nearby beast, but then when we received a letter from the city hall, we realized that something was wrong. ”

Speaking of this, the police chief showed an awkward look on his face, and continued in disbelief:

"I thought it might be, it was an infected monster, so I sent a message to the city hall. ”

At this moment, Thor suddenly interjected:

"Mr. Director, can you call that whistleblower, I want to meet him. ”

The police chief looked at Thor in surprise.

In fact, from the very beginning, he noticed this young man, or teenager.

He wondered how Flod's squire was so young.

Later, when he entered the cemetery, he saw that Thor just glanced at it casually.

Then he became interested in the weeds on the ground, bent over, and kept pulling with the branches.

The police chief speculated that the teenager might be Flod's junior, and he came out to see each other.

So I didn't bother to pay attention.

However, at this time, this sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy asked questions in such a casual tone.

And the sheriff chief of Quill City had no blame on his face.

On the contrary, when I heard this, my face even showed hope and imperceptible awe.

"Director Ed, don't be stunned, call the whistleblower. ”

Flod wiped the sweat from his bald head and woke up the stunned police chief.

"Oh, okay. ”

While waiting, the police chief kept looking at Thor without leaving a trace.

With short black hair, a fair face, loose trousers, and a Mickey Mouse jacket, he looks like an ordinary teenager.

Huh?

The police chief suddenly found that he had overlooked one of the biggest suspicions:

A teenager stands in a cemetery, surrounded by a gloomy graveyard, with white bones at his feet.

Even if you are an adult man, entering a very clean cemetery will make your heart hairy.

What's more, this kind of mass graveyard may also involve monsters that gnaw at carrion!

But this young man was too calm, because of his calm performance, he ignored the indifferent eyes.

"This teenager is by no means an ordinary person!"

As a police chief who climbed up from a small patrolman, and it was such a small town with a complicated flow of people, he immediately secretly adjusted his attitude.

Soon, the whistleblower was brought over.

It was a middle-aged man with yellow hair and a thin body with sunken eye sockets.

As soon as he walked into the cemetery, he immediately nodded and bowed, and leaned in front of the police chief with a flattering face:

"Director Yide, when I heard that you were looking for me, I immediately left a big deal and hurried over!"

Thor threw away the branches of the grass, turned around and said, "I was looking for you." ”

"I want to ask, do you know the Necro Grass?"

The yellow-haired middle-aged man's face changed greatly, and he retreated in a panic, exclaiming:

"How do you know about Necro Grass?"
