Whether the guns came from across the Eye of the Dead Sea, or whether they were originally in the Thorn Empire, was what Lycia was most curious about.

"It looks round, why would you kill people with it. Dimitrius was puzzled.

Keith shook his head and threw the bullet into the jar that Lycia had handed her.

Lycia knew what it was, but she didn't dare to say it.

It's useless, it's the first time Lycia has come into contact with bullets.

"Bring this back to Lantkoth City and have someone investigate. Troy leaned in, and he picked up a chain. "What is this, it looks like a torture instrument. ”

"And this?" Caroline chopped off a piece of charcoal with an axe and drew an iron rod. "This one is like, too. ”

Subsequently, many torture instruments were found under the rubble.

"Your Highness, does the Empire allow the use of lynching?" Lycia looked at the pile of torture instruments.

"Not allowed on the surface. Dimitoli stepped on a high place with one foot.

"No wonder when a whole village is killed, they choose to burn the whole village to the ground. Fudomi crossed his arms.

"I still have to find the girl from before and ask about it. Lycia kind of regretted that she had just let the girl go yesterday afternoon.

"She said she wanted to buy a house and we could go to the housing exchange center to find her. Lycia pulled Gies. "Guise, go. ”

Gise responded immediately, grabbed a handful of drawings from the ground, put them under his nose, took a deep breath, and followed.

Dimitrius didn't stop Lycia either.

*

"Little girl?" When the staff of the housing exchange center saw Lycia, they ran over enthusiastically. "I think there is, you go to the third room in the corridor on the left. ”

Lycia and Gise walked briskly.

"Hey, you're here. Lycia smiled in a friendly manner and waved at the little girl who was picking among the piles of drawings.

"It's you!" the thin little girl had a paper bag hanging from her waist, and it was soaked with oil, and it seemed that she had bought a lot of food.

"Is there anything wrong?" the little girl smiled widely, and then took a step back as if she had thought of something.

"It's not coming to me for money. "Compared to yesterday, the girl is much more energetic.

"No, no, no, we just wanted to ask you some questions, um, consult. If you are delayed, we will compensate you. Lycia hurriedly said. "Of course, if you don't have to pick a house for too long, we can wait a little longer. ”

The girl grinned. "Okay, no problem. ”

She pointed to a drawing. "Boss, let's just this one, five gold coins, right?"

Lycia watched in amazement as she quickly handed over the money, and then obtained a scroll of drawings with numbers and seals, as well as a key. "I can invite you to my new home for a sitting. ”

After walking for more than ten minutes, Lycia stood in front of a single-family, two-story wooden house.

"I live on the second floor, and the first floor can raise some livestock. The little girl opened the door, and a musty smell came over the pavement.

Lycia coughed twice, and even Guise couldn't help tucking her veil, but the little girl walked in as if she hadn't smelled it, folded three scattered stools, and moved them.

"Let's go and sit down on the upper floor. "She's thin, but she's strong.

Lycia looked around the entire floor, there was no furniture, no floor tiles, and an uneven dirt floor.

"Are you sure you want to buy this building? Lycia stepped up the creaky staircase.

"Yes, I also think it's very expensive, the house in the city, this one is the cheapest, I thought it only cost two gold coins yesterday. ”

Keith tried to help the little girl move the stool, but she refused.

Lycia opened the window on the second floor and looked up at the roof, estimating that it would be very hot in the summer.

"I'll decorate it myself, though. She said optimistically. "You may be seated, you are the first or second guests in my new home. ”

The little girl was very happy when she had her own house, and kept looking around the house with a very satisfied look.

"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet. Lycia sat down, and grabbed Gis, who was almost sitting on the floor again.

"Ah Zuo. The little girl shook her legs.

"Hello Azuo, I'm Lycia and this is Gith. How old are you this year?" Lycia held out her right hand, but the little girl obviously wouldn't shake hands, so Lycia patted her on the shoulder.

"Hello sixteen, Miss Lycia, and Miss Guise," Zuo continued to shake his legs, "Do you want to ask about our village?"

Lycia nodded. "Yes, we're in your village, it's called Qi Village, right?"

Ah Zuo nodded.

"We found some chains and rods in the rubble, and what we thought were used to hurt people, which were torture instruments. "Lycia didn't expect that Ah Zuo was already sixteen years old.

Ah Zuo, who looked very young, stopped shaking his legs and looked at Lycia with a pair of eyes. "Are you from somewhere else, a more powerful sheriff?"

Gisdelicia nodded. "Sort of. ”

"Yes, the rules of the village. Ah Zuo brushed up his sleeves all the way to the shoulder level.

Lycia saw that her entire arm was covered in scars. "Is this? This is because of those things?"

Ah Zuo nodded calmly. "Every week, the laziest voter is punished. ”

"I've been beaten twice, and each time I've almost died, and I've been beaten up almost every time I've been a fool. Ah Zuo lowered his sleeves. "But fortunately, in the end, he took his revenge. ”

Ah Zuo looked like he had a big revenge.

"Is this normal?" She asked Lycia.

Lycia shook her head. "No, the Empire of Thorns prohibits the abuse of lynching. ”

Ah Zuo nodded. "But every time I called the sheriff, they always thought it was the right thing to do, and that the lazy should be beaten. ”

Lycia never thought that there would be such a village. "Is the vote fair?"

To evaluate whether a person is lazy or not is actually through voting.

Ah Zuo shook his head. "No, the village chief never does anything, but no one voted for him, I wrote his name, but in the end the vote was not pronounced. ”

"If people hate someone, or think someone looks weak, they will vote for him. Azuo continued. "After I was beaten twice, I learned to be obedient and gave something to the village chief and the ticket bearer every week, so that I never got beaten. ”

"Actually, I think the village chief just wanted to hit someone, and he looked very happy when he burned my arm with a soldering iron. Ah Zuo rubbed his arm unconsciously.

Lycia didn't know what to say, so there was a moment of silence, and Keith didn't speak, so Azuo continued.

"The fool is miserable, and he was almost every time after that, but he was in good health, and I sometimes thought that he would have been better if he had been killed. There was no touch on Ah Zuo's face, she herself was already very bitter and had no energy to sympathize with others.

"So, how did he get a stick that breathes fire?" asked Lycia.

Guise was also looking at Ah Zuo, using divination to determine if she was lying.

"I gave it to him. Ah Zuo opened his palm. "I picked it up. ”

Keith gave Lycia a thumbs up, indicating that Azo had been telling the truth.

"Picked it up by the river. Ah Zuo said. "I don't know what it is, but the fool happened to be plowing the ground, so I gave it to him. ”

The clue seemed to be broken again, and Lycia glanced at Keith. "If you just pick it up by the river, it seems that there is no trace. ”

Ah Zuo stood up, ran to the window, and measured the size with his hand. "I also need to buy a cloth to cover the window. I have to work at night, I have a lot of money at night, and I sleep during the day. ”

Ah Zuo didn't seem to feel the slightest guilt about the fact that the whole village was indirectly because she was killed, and Lycia asked about it and she couldn't wait to start planning her room.

"By the way, the fool fled, although I don't know why he ran away in the end after so many years, maybe waiting for this moment?" Ah Zuo seemed to be afraid that Lycia and they would not give money, so after walking around twice, he came back and sat down.

Keith shook his head. "It's not that you ran away, you hid him. ”

Ah Zuo's complexion changed at this time. "How do you know. ”

Lycia handed her a gold coin. "Take us to see, you can think that you are not hiding criminals. ”

Ah Zuo took the gold coin and immediately stood up. "Let's go. ”

Lycia's hand was placed in the bag containing the weapon, and Gise walked behind her.

The two followed Ah Zuo out of the city and ran to the wilderness.

Then in the deep reeds, I saw a man lying on the ground eating bread, aged thirty years and over.

"Honestly, this idiot is my father. Ah Zuo pulled the man's feet.

Guise is too lazy to divination, and this Ah Zuo is obviously missing a tendon in his brain.

"Are you looking for this stick?" Zuo crouched down and pulled a pistol out of the fool's hand.

Although it looked different from what Lycia had seen in her previous life, she was sure that it was indeed a pistol.

"Can you catch this fool later, he doesn't seem to have a few good days in his life since he was stupid, wait for him to be happy for a few more days. Zuo pleaded with Lycia heartlessly and put the pistol in Lycia's hand. "This is for you, I won't take any money. ”

Lycia was a little scared, for fear of accidentally touching it. "When he is caught, he will not be executed immediately. "Touching a firearm for the first time in my life.

Ah Zuo scratched his head in embarrassment. "Will he be beheaded?"

==== (Gan, I ran outside for a day today, and I really tried my best to catch up.) ）

"I, I happened to be passing by here, and it occurred to me that someone I knew had disappeared here, so I came to take a look. "Lycia lied.

The little clay figure looked at her with his hands behind his back. "You, you have a problem. ”

Lycia was shocked.

The Black Clay Man continued. "You have to come so far to ask me, if you have any questions, just go to me through the circus!"

Then Lycia noticed several objects spit out of the mud in front of her.

"What is this?" she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

A wooden branch, apparently thrown in just now. A few blood pods, a jar that fell out of Lycia's pocket, a pearl hair ornament, and a copper wand.

The blood cangguo was not broken in the swamp.

"Look at these people, do you know any of them?"

Lycia shook her head, doesn't the mud monster understand what a human being is?

"Then I don't know, there's nothing else to do with you other than these things. The little clay figure scratched his head and said.

"Are these all things that have anything to do with me?" said Lycia, putting the jar in her bag and picking up the pearl hairpin.

"Of course, Black Pearl can't be wrong about anything. The little clay figure patted his chest with his hand. "Take it all!"

Lycia suspiciously put the pearl hairpin into her bag, and all kinds of things are not lost. "Even if I don't remember if it really has anything to do with me, can I take it?" Lycia was afraid that it would be a trap and that if she took something that didn't belong to her, she would be dragged away and eaten.

The little clay figure nodded. "Don't worry, these must be things related to you, things you can take away!"

Lycia cautiously picked up the black metal wand again, there are not many people who use the heraldic ability of the wand, Lycia thought about the acquaintances she knew, who often used wands and wands, except for Fudomi, which seemed to be gone.

She ended up stuffing it in her bag.

"So. Thank you very much, Black Pearl. ”

Lycia struggled to stand up hunched over, her waist almost ninety degrees to her legs, so that she could not face the mire above.

"Are you leaving?" said the little clay figurine, with his hands on his hips.

"And what?" Lycia sat again.

"I'll take you to half a communication card, and you can come to the Black Pearl Circus at any time in the future. The little clay figure hooked his finger at Lycia.

Then the mud from Lycia's back flooded towards her.

She subconsciously struggled for a moment, and then felt like she was being carried to another place in the darkness.

I guess after a while, everyone may think that they will die in the swamp. It seems like a long way to go.

"Okay, No. 389, come out and get a card for the guest!"

Lycia looked around like a place where there were many people, caves, plants with glowing fruits.

A magical underworld.

In a narrow passageway, torches were also lit.

Although no one walks around, there are definitely many people living here.

"It's coming!" Lycia heard a rumbling sound as a shadow drifted overhead.

She looked up and saw the man in the monkey hood swinging around and finally landing on the ground. "Here you are, Lord Black Pearl, you're back. Does this lady need a card?"

Lycia nodded, though confused.

The little clay figurines didn't care about them, and were inspecting with their hands behind their backs.

"Come with me and record a message. The man in the monkey hood hunched over and pointed with his right hand to a stone platform in the shape of a claw.

Lycia trotted over, her clothes in tatters.

"What message was recorded?" Lycia asked him, listening to a male voice.

"Put your hands on it just so I can pull you in later when I can pull you in at the right place and time. The man in the monkey hood pointed to the table.

Lycia didn't hesitate either, her palms facing down, against the claw-like platform, and lowered her hands.

"Don't pick it up. ”

The claw-like thing on the stage slowly closed and grabbed Lycia's hand.

"Shhh "Lycia was in a little pain.

It didn't take long for the claws to open.

Lycia felt her hand
