526. Night Detective

Selena's new home is on the westernmost side of the village's second townhouse, and the simple lines make the building look a little square, each townhouse six villagers, and on the south side of the small building is a circle of small courtyards surrounded by wooden fences, which have not yet been completely cleared, and some building materials are piled up haphazardly.

The main body of the small building is made of limestone and pozzolana cement, and the roof is covered with a herringbone frame, on which a thick layer of oak planks is laid with a layer of gray tiles, and the terrace, attic, including the wooden doors and windows all exude a faint fresh smell.

The townhouses are divided into two floors, with a small attic and terrace on the top floor, and the bricklayers who built the townhouses saved time by removing some unnecessary repetitive decorations as much as possible, so from a distance it seems that the three buildings are monotonous and unified, and lack of beauty.

But this is nothing to the villagers of Wall Village.

They will soon get out of the thatched hut and live in a solid stone house made of concrete, so that they will no longer have to worry about the roof collapsing when the snowstorm hits, and they will no longer have to worry about heavy rain outside the house and light rain inside the house on the day of the storm.

Their hearts were filled with anticipation of their new home, and joy hung on their faces.

Sometimes when I eat a big pot of rice in the village square, I will laugh unconsciously.

When the four-wheeled carriage passed by the wild lake ten kilometers downstream from the bend, they would run to the lake and pick up some beautiful pebbles and come back.

When they return to the village, they will be paved on the road of the townhouses before it gets completely dark, fill the gaps in the cobblestones with pocanic cement, and then wash the pavement with water until the smooth and round pebbles reveal their most beautiful side.

The buildings in the city of Highlanza usually had tall, smooth marble columns around the perimeter of the houses, and the villagers followed the style of the city's aristocrats by erecting a row of cement pillars around the townhouses to support the outer balconies.

The aristocrats liked to carve the balustrades of the ladies in stone with hollow stones, and the villagers also built strong oak balustrades on the terraces and balconies.

Selena held the corner of the long skirt with one hand, the soft and light long skirt outlined her two slender and straight thighs on the other side, and stepped up the outer stairs, Signa shook off Selena's hand, rushed to the stairs first, stood on the jogging platform and shouted to Selena: "Selena, I want to go to the attic to play for a while......"

It seemed that the attic of every house could be a paradise for children, leaving the thatched hut with only one room, Signa finally had a room of her own, she couldn't wait to run to the attic, pushed the wooden window of the attic open, and put her hands on the windowsill to watch the sun set.

Surdak saw that the rock cracks in the cement stone walls were very smooth, and the villagers' construction level seemed to be progressing rapidly.

With a faint smile on her face, Delina lowered her head and pushed open the door to let Surdak into the living room.

The walls of the new living room were painted with white plaster, and on the opposite side of the fireplace hung the patterned blanket from Surdak, and the living room looked empty, except for a wicker chair by the fireplace, and only an old, old wooden table.

Behind the living room is a small dining room, washroom and kitchen, and two bedrooms are upstairs.

Selena went into the kitchen to boil water, and Surdak leaned against the door frame next to it, his hands folded over his chest. Before, silently looked at Selena.

When she leaned down, the soft long skirt highlighted the round buttocks, and she had become plump lately, although her waist was still slender, but she had a little more of the charm of a young woman.

She tied her long, silky blonde hair back in a ponytail with a handkerchief, and looked contentedly at the spacious kitchen, which alone was half the size of a thatched house, and all the cooking utensils in the kitchen were brand new.

In the past year, thanks to the man in front of her, her life has changed dramatically, and even the teachings of the Dark Goddess have improved greatly, and those kobold slaves still have a little bit of intelligence, at least they can understand the stories of the blessings of the Dark Goddess told by Selena.

The cyan flames in the stove licked the bottom of the kettle, Selena turned and walked in front of Surdak, her pretty face was like a ripe apple, and reached out to help Surdak untie the magic pattern armor of the 'Earth Shield', and hung it on the wooden shelf beside her.

Dinner was simple, Selena prepared a plate of vegetable salad and chestnut pancakes, some broth.

Signa hurriedly finished her share and borrowed Cyrus from Surdak. Hickok's Dark Mage's Magical Notes.

Surdak felt that the little girl still had some magical talents, and if she could awaken the magic pool and become a magician at the age of 12, their mother-daughter life would be better in the future.

Watching Signa run upstairs in three or two steps, Selena didn't forget to tell her not to watch too late......

……

At night, the village seems very quiet, most of the villagers will run to the village square to eat a big pot of rice, after eating enough, they go home in twos and threes, there is basically no entertainment at night in the small mountain village, the villagers usually go to bed early after going home to wash and wash.

Soon, the whole village will fall silent in the night.

In the village of Wall, kerosene lamps and candles are luxuries, so few people are willing to pay for them.

Ludwig sat outside the party's tent, watching the crescent moon slowly climb from the treetops of the dead trees to the top of his head, before he exhaled softly, and the sound of even breathing could be heard all around, and even the members of the party who were sitting across from him were dozing off.

He quietly walked around and found that everyone was asleep, so he quietly got out of the campsite of the adventure group, passed by the big dead tree at the entrance of the village, and groped his way along a road in the village towards the village.

He had already prepared, he took out a bag of broken bones with no oil and water from his arms and threw it out, and suddenly the attention of those earth dogs was attracted away, although the bones were not oily and water, but the faint fragrance still attracted all the attention of several earth dogs.

Ludwig was just about to pass by the dogs when he saw footsteps at a construction site not far away.

Someone in the village seemed to have heard the movement of the earth dogs, and feared that someone from other villages would run to the construction site to steal building materials, especially the steel bars, each worth at least two silver hammers, and a villager crawled out of a shack with his clothes on, muttered around the construction site, and then touched the construction site next to it.

As soon as Ludwig wanted to take advantage of the departure of the villagers on duty, he passed through the construction site, when another village woman came out of the shack, and she smoothed her long skirt as she walked, so frightened that Ludwig quickly hid in the shadows in the corner.

Looking at the direction of the village woman, he was a little speechless, so he could only choose to bypass this construction site that had not yet been built.

It's just that in addition to the three townhouses that have been built, the village is full of such construction sites full of building materials, and if you want to avoid them all, you can only walk up the edge of the river.

Fortunately, there are many wheat fields along the stream, and the wheat in the fields is almost Ludwig. Legs, which have already begun to tassel.

The 'whooshing' stream drowned out his footsteps, and Ludwig became a little bolder, and he walked up the stalk of the wheat field, and when he entered the village during the day, he knew that he would go up the stream to the cistern site upstream.

Before getting there, it is necessary to get around in advance.

Otherwise, the craftsmen on the construction site will find their whereabouts, and they will not be able to run away when they want to.

Ludwig was thinking about it when he heard a 'bleating' cry from in front of him, and he was startled.

During the day, he didn't see a flock of sheep here, and by the faint moonlight, there were some yellow sheep locked in a wooden fence in front of him, and listening to the cries of those yellow sheep, there should be quite a few of them.

Ludwig wanted to get around the sheepfold, but he didn't want to cross the river to the other side, so he wanted to get a little closer to the sheepfold and see if there was a way to get around.

He came out of the wheat field, saw that there was indeed a sheepfold in front of him, and peeked over the side of the low wall, wondering if there were any villagers guarding there......

A huge head suddenly appeared on the other side of the low wall, and he stared at Ludwig with bull's eyes like copper bells, and stared at Ludwig without blinking, and his bare mouth spewed out a faint smell of garlic, and his bare head almost frightened Ludwig to scream.

Gulit was also apparently taken aback by Ludwig, who just slept by the low wall outside the sheepfold, and when he opened his eyes, he saw someone poking his head out of the wall and staring at him face to face.

In the night, the thin man in front of him was dressed in tattered linen clothes, and there was not even a few taels of flesh on his body, and Gulitham gave him a disgusted look.

Usually, no one in the village dared to approach him, and no one would take the initiative to talk to him, and everyone was a little afraid of him.

Even when the women of the village were coaxing the children, they would threaten the bear children and say, "Be honest, if you don't obey, you will go with Gulit to herd the sheep......

The ogre Gullitm has robbed the older children of the village of their only jobs, so he is a heinous demon in the eyes of the children of all ages.

He's a reasonable ogre, he likes to talk to people when he's bored, and he loves the food of the ogre tribe......

Unfortunately, no one in the village wanted to reason with him, and no child liked to hear him tell stories, such as carrots and fingers.

"Who are you? You're not from the village? ”

Gullit looked at the stranger in front of him alarmedly and asked.

"Ludwig ......"

Ludwig said without thinking, facing the ogre in front of him, he was worried that if he hesitated, he would be eaten by the other party.

Gulitham believed that the out-of-town man in front of him was telling the truth, and the reason for judging the truth was that such unthinking answers were basically true.

"It's so late, how did you get here? Do you want to steal sheep? Ogre Gulitham continued.

Ludwig felt that the ogre in front of him had put more pressure on him, so he quickly waved his hand and shook his head and said:

"No...... I didn't! ”

Hearing Ludwig say this, Gullit breathed a sigh of relief...... Since it's not sheep stealing, it's not a big deal!

He thinks that Ludwig must be a bricklayer from the outer village on the construction site of the cistern, and his palms and tiger's mouth are covered with calluses, and although his body is thin and thin, his eyes appear to be shining—he is very good-looking!

Gulit thought about it with a gurgling stomach at this time, the multigrain porridge he drank at night was not very hungry, and he only slept for such a short time, and his stomach felt empty, he missed those salamander broth a little, the ogre wiped a handful of saliva from the corner of his mouth, waved his hand impatiently, and said to Ludwig:

"Okay, get out of here quickly, don't run around at night, and don't come here to wake me up, otherwise my stomach will be hungry easily, and it's not easy to sleep until dawn, okay, hurry back to the construction site of the cistern!"

Ludwig was about to return the way he came, when he heard the ogre say this, and immediately stopped.

“???”

He was full of question marks......

I wanted to ask Gulitum if he was wrong......

But then he immediately reacted, and the ogre Gulitam was a bricklayer from the outer village who had mistaken him for a reservoir construction site, and replied casually with a brain teaser:

"Oh, okay, I'll be right away......"

Ludwig walked forward without thinking, he had no idea that he had easily passed through the sheepfold under the watchful eye of an ogre, and had also entered the upper reaches of the river.

The tents on the cistern site are almost connected in a large area, and there are several torches lit around the site, and some villagers on duty are standing on high piles of materials.

Although he managed to make it to the upper reaches of Wall Village, he did not get carried away because of this.

Seeing the only large mansion in the village with lights still lit in the distance, Ludwig immediately thought that the Baron Surdak was probably at home, and that the servants must have followed him, and that there was a very powerful archer beside him, whose eyes were not limited by night and day, and it was the archer who shot more than twenty of his companions......

Thinking of this, Ludwig's back felt cold, and he decided not to risk it, and directly thought about the direction of the police station in his memory.

A dark cloud completely obscured the hook-like moon, and the small mountain village was plunged into absolute darkness.

Ludwig walked along the leveled clearing of the fourth-level cistern towards the Wall Village Security Office, he wanted to venture there to see, after all, Gordon Magician died here, he should have left some clues in Wall Village, from the information obtained from the magicians of the Law Enforcement Corps of the Magic Guild of Highlanza City, the mysterious magic crystal did not fall into the hands of the magician.

This means that the magic crystal is likely to be in the village of Wall.

A row of chestnut and hawthorn trees were transplanted outside the police station, Ludwig hid by the low wall of the lantern fruit tree, and secretly peeked into the security office, through the dark bushes, he felt that the police station was a little quiet and terrifying, he squatted in the bushes and waited for a while, and did not find anything abnormal, so he decided to go around the back of the yard and sneak into the police station......
