Chapter 12: The Villa Horror
In order to learn the alchemy of fusing flesh and blood as soon as possible, Yalei switched the priorities of learning again, and cultivation was still the first, alchemy was second, and law was reduced to third.
Miss Alice's research team for cooking flowers and potted plants was also quickly approved, and the top management of the academy was very angry at first, even the research team that was so boring to choose a name can approve it? Now that the research was carried out by the three knight apprentices, they pursued their usual attitude of resignation, and even the review was exempted.
After the research team was formed, it took a lot of effort to renovate and remodel, and the three of them also made a list of purchases, including cooking tools, cutlery, flower seedlings, potted plants, seeds, and so on. Of course, these chores are taken care of by Alcia and Beverly, and if you don't pay for it, can't you think about it? Yare said that you don't even think about it, and work obediently.
The tense and relaxed life lasted for nearly three months, Yalei counted the gains during this time, the physical strength of the limbs and blades had progressed, the physical strength had greatly increased, the storage of forged steel fighting qi in the furnace had increased by about two percent, and the alchemy had learned the metal clutch, and there was still a lot of distance from the spell of flesh and blood fusion.
The group formed with his roommates is also beginning to take shape, the flower bonsai is taken care of by Yalei every morning and evening, the kitchen has one or two new dishes every day, and the miscellaneous items of singer Alice in the utility room are increasing.
It's been almost a year since they came to the Obelisk, and now they will face the first examination of the Academy, the Knight Mobilization Order.
The knight mobilization order, that is, every three months, the academy will issue a series of task instructions according to the rank of the knight apprentice, and the students cannot shirk without special circumstances. There is a penalty of expulsion for failing a mission more than five times, and for this reason, all Knight Apprentices are wary of it.
At the same time, the success or failure of this mission is also related to whether Yalei can get the second-order uniform in advance, and if it fails, it can only wait until next year.
Beverly and Alcia were assigned to a task force. Yare was assigned to the same task force as a second-order knight apprentice named Bruno Jeff.
Yare and Bruno met soon under the arrangement of the academy, and when they met for the first time, the two were slightly shocked. Bruno was naturally surprised by Yalei's fierce spirit, and Yalei was shocked that such a beauty was actually a boy.
Bruno is a quarter of Slavic blood, so he has beautiful silver hair, snow-white skin, narrow eyes, longer eyelashes than most girls, delicate features, a well-proportioned body, and slender and slender limbs. It seems that due to fertility, none of the man's secondary sexual characteristics were born in him. It's a pity for such a cute beautiful boy to be a bitter haha knight, Yalei feels sorry for him, and an elegant profession like Dr. Goblin is more suitable for him.
After the two met, they immediately got into a carriage and went to the Eastern Peace Bureau in Thrace, where they were tasked with assisting Agent Roconnor in reconciling a murder case.
On the way, Yare accosted a few words at first, but now Bruno has always been silent, and he has a caring attitude towards himself, so he simply closes his eyes and pretends to sleep.
"The murder was born in a historic seaside villa near the Proponte Mountains in the south. This villa has been owned by many wealthy people, the earliest generation can be traced back to the Earl of Dezak more than 300 years ago, and the current owners are Mr. Charles's family. ”
Agent Roconnor, who is telling the two of them about the case, is a middle-aged ordinary police detective, with a bald forehead, thick dark circles under his eyes, and bloodshot eyes, obviously at a loss for the case.
"Two months ago, Mr. Charlie's family died violently in the villa, and because of the remoteness, no one called the police until last month. At first, we thought that someone had murdered someone for money, but now there is no loss of property in the house, so we overturned this conclusion. Through the investigation, Mr. Charlie's family of three was all fatally stabbed in the chest, clean and neat, and it didn't look like a vendetta......"
"Isn't this an ordinary murder, why are you looking for us?" Bruno folded his shoulders, a little disapproving.
"No, it's not ordinary at all, that's the point. Agent Roconnor rubbed his eye sockets wearily before continuing:
"Mr. Charlie himself is a third-order warrior, who has served as a junior officer in the army, and has been on the battlefield several times, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was born and died. His expression before he died was horrified, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in his life. Such an expression is really strange to put on a warrior who has been through a hundred battles and has a strong personality and high martial arts. What's even more strange is that after our investigation, we found that when Mr. Charlie died on the second floor, his wife and son were eating in the restaurant on the first floor, and the two were killed after they went upstairs, and there was no sign of a fight nearby. So, what kind of person can kill a third-order warrior without saying a word......
Agent Roconnor stared at the two with bloodshot eyes, and said word by word:
"That's the crux of the matter. ”
"Kill the third-order warrior silently? Isn't that only the fourth-order warrior going all out......"
The two knight apprentices looked at each other and saw a terrifying look in each other's eyes.
"So be sure to investigate!" Agent Roconnor angrily punched the table, his forehead bruised:
"Actually killing innocents indiscriminately in the territory of the empire, bullying the weak, do you still think that it is the magic empire that respected the strong in the past! No matter who it is, no matter how strong he is, he must be brought to justice!"
"But the two of us are only second-order knights, and we have no experience in handling cases at all, how can we help you?"
Yare admires Agent Roconnor's conscientiousness, but has no confidence in handling the case.
"Don't worry, I'll handle the case, but the villa hasn't been very peaceful recently, and several investigating agents have encountered strange things like knocking on the door in the middle of the night, bloody footprints on the stairs, etc. I felt a little strange and planned to meet for a while, so I asked for help from the obelisk. ”
"In other words, we just need to keep you safe?" Bruno relaxed.
"That's it, I thought, we'd better get out now. ”
When the three of them arrived at the seaside villa, it was already ten in the middle of the night, the high crescent moon hung in the air, and the villa looked a little cold and lonely under the sea breeze and moonlight.
Yalei pushed open the somewhat old door and entered the interior of the villa, and now in addition to the dust, the first floor, including the dining room, is still vaguely tidy, and the rotten and smelly food on the table also witnesses the strict attitude of the police.
"Tonight we will rest first, and tomorrow at dawn, according to the order of the rooms, one by one. ”
Agent Roconnor put down his luggage and announced it in a bold manner.
