Chapter 162: The Hanosa Woman
In everyone's impression, Malek, who was transferred from other lake towns two years ago, is a wreck, if it weren't for the hard enough backstage, he would have been replaced a long time ago, and judging from his actions in the past two years, he doesn't seem to have shown any outstanding ability, so not only the director of the security bureau who looks down on them within the security bureau, but even the city guard station completely treats him as if he doesn't exist.
From the current confrontation between the city guards and the guards because of the case, it can be seen that Malek's status in the eyes of these people, if the city guards really value Malek, they will not let a low-level city guard officer confront him, the director of the security bureau, it is obvious that in the eyes of the city guard, Horse is just equivalent to a low-level city guard officer.
But everyone couldn't imagine that this head of the security bureau who looked like a wreck, turned out to be a big monster hidden, and he could easily solve more than a dozen city guards with good strength with just one person, and it seemed that he didn't have any strength when he looked relaxed now.
"Long-haired Marek, I know you're long-haired Marek!" At this moment, the first city guard officer who was tied up suddenly exclaimed.
The shouts of the city guards immediately attracted the attention of the city guards and guards, and when they heard the content of the shouts, they all gasped involuntarily, looking at Marek in shock, and inevitably with a hint of doubt in their eyes.
Leo, who was standing next to the corpse to check the situation, was also attracted by this exclamation, and couldn't help but look at Malek, who had a calm face.
Although Leo has only been in this world for a few days, he is also very familiar with the reputation of the long-haired Malek.
Of the books that Leo acquired during this period, there were no less than twenty of them that chronicled the legendary deeds.
Although each book records different deeds about Marek, the depictions of Marek are similar, and all of them are huge and powerful.
Because of this, after Leo knew that the head of the security bureau was named Marek, he didn't think about this legendary figure whose reputation spread all over the ten towns.
According to the book, Leo learns that Malek is the most legendary powerhouse in the last hundred years of the battle to defend the castle in the fog against the attacks of the fog monsters. There are many kinds of deeds about Marek, and there are many books that record them, but no matter what one book does, there must be one thing, and that is Marek's battle for fame.
In that battle, Marek's defense team was sent to a certain location to be responsible for blocking the invasion of the fog monsters, originally the team should only face a few free fog monster communities, but because the attack of the fog area guarding the castle on the other side was too fierce, a large number of fog monsters chose to detour to the area that Malek's team was responsible for and entered the defense area.
In the face of the overwhelming group of fog monsters, Malek's team soon died so that only Malek was left, and without any backup, Malek guarded the defense area alone, and forcibly blocked thousands of fog monsters out of the defense area. When the rescuers arrived at the defense area, all they saw were the corpses of fog monsters scattered all over the mountains and Marek resting on the trunk of a tree.
Since then, Marek has become a member of the 10th Fog District Castle Guard, charging at the front line in every battle, killing tens of thousands of fog monsters at his hands, and he has also become the person who has killed the most fog monsters on record.
Originally, according to the normal law, Marek, who had made so many achievements, should have become the high-level of the Tenth Fog District Guard Castle, and after the current commander-in-chief of the castle guarded the castle retired, he took over the position of commander-in-chief and became the commander-in-chief of the Tenth Guard Legion.
But for some reason, two years ago, the news about Marek suddenly disappeared from the Fog Guard Castle, and it was rumored that he had returned to Ten Towns and became a nobleman by virtue of his military exploits, and there were also rumors that he had died in the Fog Zone, all in all, there was no news of Marek since.
Therefore, after the city guard officer called out the name of the long-haired Marek, the others were surprised and a little incredulous, and they inevitably had doubts in their hearts.
"You know me?" Marek asked the city guard officer, and this question was tantamount to his acquiescence to the identity of the legendary powerhouse.
The officer of the city guard changed the contempt and disdain of the confrontation just now, and his expression was full of respect and admiration, and when he heard the inquiry, he hurriedly replied like a subordinate: "I once served as a guard castle in the Tenth Fog District, and I have seen the scene of your excellency fighting in the distance more than once. ”
Marek nodded, shaking his head slightly, and the flesh wrapped around these people quickly untied and retracted, hiding in his hair, showing no abnormality.
"You take the people out now, and I'll take care of this place. Malek again made the same request.
It's just that this time, the city guard officer didn't continue to confront him, but saluted him respectfully like a subordinate, and then commanded his subordinates to leave quickly, leaving only those guards who were still stunned and at a loss.
Marek then instructed his men, "You guys go to the surrounding houses and ask about the situation, see if anyone knows about the situation here?"
"Yes. Hearing Marek's order, the subordinates who had not fully recovered did not dare to slack off on the order as they had just now, and the guards who had been knocked to the ground also got up one after another, and while secretly looking at Marek, they obeyed the order and went to the surrounding houses to inquire about the situation.
After the guards and city guards left, Marek could still feel the strange eyes in the distance, thinking of the various situations he would face after his identity was revealed, he couldn't help but sigh, and then walked up to Leo and asked, "Mr. Leo, have you found anything here?"
Leo replied indifferently: "The corpse is the same as the previous deceased, and the murderer is very sophisticated in knife execution, so it can be determined that the same person did it." ”
Seeing that Leo did not show surprise and admiration for his true identity like everyone else, Marek was surprised at the same time, but also made him feel a little puzzled about Leo's identity, feeling that this person might not be just an ordinary member of the Pharmacists Association.
"Have you seen this man?" Leo asked Marek deliberately.
"I haven't seen it!" Marek squatted down, looked at the woman from the Hanosa Alliance carefully, frowned, and said, "The clothes on her body are also very strange, it doesn't seem to be the popular clothing style in Ten Towns." ”
Marek quickly sensed the anomaly, and then he skillfully searched through the corpse's clothes, placing the findings on the ground one by one.
Among these bits and pieces, Leo found many familiar things, such as the medal of the winner of the Hanosa Union Hunters' Tournament, the ticket stub of the Continental train, and so on. In addition, while Marek searched, Leo also found some mutated organs that were deliberately hidden by the woman, such as her shoulder blades, with a pair of huge mouths, which shows that this woman should be a family member of the dark world.
Although there are many things to discover, Leo has not found two things that must be discovered, one is a weapon and the other is a potion.
No matter how confident the man was in his prowess, including Leo and Panic, he would have prepared plenty of weapons and potions to deal with all sorts of unpredictable dangers and injuries before he got involved in the Nine Golden Oak Street. But now this woman does not have a weapon or a potion on her, which is obviously a bit unreasonable.
"This woman is not a prostitute. Marek said suddenly.
Leo knowingly asked, "Why do you think that?"
Malek looked at Leo and frowned, as if he was dissatisfied that Leo would ask such a question, but he was still patient and said: "Her body is very strong, very strong, and many traces on her body show that she has experienced a lot of battles, she is an experienced warrior, and the ancestral state on her body is hidden, so ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly seemed to think of something, stunned, and then carefully checked the mouth of the corpse's shoulders, and frowned: "How can this be?"
Leo asked, "What did you find?"
"What did you find again?" Marek asked, standing up, turning to Leo gravely.
Leo was silent for a moment, analyzed Malek's behavior before and after, and said tentatively: "The ancestral state on her body is very strange. ”
"Have you been to the Fog Zone?" asked Marek, stunned.
"Nope. Leo, who knew he was right, shook his head calmly.
"It seems that your status in the Pharmacists Association is not low, and you even know these things. Malek said something inexplicable, then looked at Leo, and beckoned to one of the guards who looked here, and said to Leo, "This is not the place to talk, come to the morgue of the guard station in two hours." ”
After saying that, he didn't give Leo another chance to ask, turned to meet the guards who came over, and then pointed to the corpse and carefully ordered something.
Seeing this, Leo did not stop here, turned and walked back, and when he walked around a corner, he beckoned to a shadowy area in the alley, and then saw the elven rat that had led him before running out of the shadows and stopping in front of him.
"You go and tell the Duke of the White Boots that I'm looking for it, and I'm waiting for it in the house. Leo commanded the elven rat as if he were talking to a human.
The elven rat seemed to understand Leo's words, nodded at him, and then quickly jumped to the corner of the wall, and ran down the corner into the alley.
It didn't take long for Leo to return to his temporary residence, to the secret room of the wizard's book room, and took out a stone-shaped object from his pocket, placed it on the workbench, and took a special high-light oil lamp and looked at it carefully in front of him.
The stone seemed to be a fragment of a sculpture, and because it was held tightly in the hand of the Hanoverian woman, Leo felt that it should be an important thing when he found it, but since there were other people around, it was not suitable to look closely, so he continued to examine the corpse's movements, and put the stone in his pocket.
Now that he had looked closely, Leo had a little doubt on his face.
First of all, this fragment is certainly not the product of this dream world, because there are several words engraved on the fragment, which are basic root variations of the Gamoree language, and the meaning is the preface to some kind of prayer, which has the meaning of greatness, kindness, etc. And these variants of the text, which no longer have any power, Leo can see clearly without wearing special glasses, so the stone is almost certainly from outside the dream world.
Secondly, there are also some reliefs on the characters that look like scales that are familiar to Leo, because the scales on the reliefs are very peculiar, octagonal, and there are some patterns in the middle that look very similar to the base roots.
"Paracerebral analysis. Leo commanded in his heart.
With Leo's order, soon the subbrain system quickly compared various materials in the database, from which to find a pattern that matched the relief scales, and it didn't take long for the comparison results to come out and project them on his glasses.
"It's Him!" Leo was also surprised when he saw the result.
After comparison, this scale relief turned out to be the same as the scales on the surface of the egg born by the mother of the nests, and even the pattern symbol on it that looks very similar to the basic root is also exactly the same.
In the underground city of Cage City, Leo once saw a complete statue of the Mother of the Nests, because of the environment at that time and the protection of unknown forces, the idol was very well preserved, and some details were also preserved, such as the eggs laid on the tail part of the body of the mother of the nests.
These images were also fully recorded in the parabrain database, and Leo was just habitually recording everything he saw at the time, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now.
After judging the origin of this fragment, Leo took out this fragment and looked at it carefully, perhaps because of the difference in mentality and thoughts, which made the details of the same thing have different meanings in his eyes.
Leo had judged that the eggshell scales were a piece of relief or sculpture that had fallen from it, but now that he looked at the piece, he felt that it was not a stone fragment of a statue, but more like a real eggshell fragment after it had been petrified.
At that moment, there was a knock on the window, and Leo immediately stepped forward to open the window. I saw that the Duke of White Boots had heard the report of his subordinates and rushed over, and he jumped into the house like an acquaintance without waiting for Leo to greet him, quickly climbed onto the table, and asked Leo, "What happened to the corpse found over there......?"
The Duke of the White Boots had just said a word, as if he had been choked in his throat by a foreign object, and he could not speak, his body stiffened as if it had been petrified, and he looked at the eggshell scales on the table with great horror.
When Leo wanted to ask the Duke of the White Boots what was going on, the Duke of the White Boots jumped on Leo in fright as if he had seen something terrible, and quickly climbed into the hood of Leo's leather coat, his body trembling violently, and his fear was overflowing.
