"Unexpected. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

A butcher said dryly.

"It's just inspiring, and it's so big that there's nothing wrong with the world. ”

The merchant next to him pondered and gave a more brilliant comment than the butcher.

"That's, this is a crocodile-headed scorpion monster, it's not a demon at all, look at this big mouth, this big claw, I killed one when I was in the Silent Forest, and the tail can be used to make wine. ”

Finally, a stinking mercenary squeezed in, wiped his eyes full of, and arbitrarily came to a conclusion, and after speaking, he also gave a long wine burp, which made the merchant retreat again and again. The butcher was nostalgic for the smell, for the had given him a halt for more than a year.

The people around them became more and more crowded, and everyone wanted to see the appearance of the demon who had been in a lot of noise a while ago, but after looking at the portrait of the wanted notice on the wall, everyone became more curious and puzzled.

This portrait of a demon, drawn by a shivering white night with a paintbrush in his hands, would have been seen as the graffiti of a three-year-old child if it had been placed elsewhere, but now that it was bearing the seal of the cardinal in blue and two heavily armed guards standing guard in front, one had to reassess its authenticity.

"How did the crocodile and the scorpion get together?" asked the butcher, his eyes wide, curious.

"What are you talking about?" the mercenary picked at his ears.

"I mean...... Since this is a crocodile-headed scorpion monster, it must have been born after the crocodile and the scorpion looked at each other. ”

The mercenary looked at the butcher in surprise, not expecting such a question. The merchant suddenly realized, "But there are neither crocodiles nor scorpions in Grey Raven Castle, so this can't be a crocodile-headed scorpion monster at all." ”

"But this wanted notice says the son of the devil, have you ever seen a demon bargaining for groceries on the streets of Grey Raven Castle!"

The mercenary shouted, and the butcher's expression was a little gloomy when he heard this: "Before saying this, you should look at my wife." ”

Hearing what people were arguing about, in the corner not far away, the two Thorn Knights sighed at the same time.

"It's just a bunch of idiots here, there's no valuable information at all, it's just wasting our precious time, I'm going back. ”

The younger of the two knights said in a tired tone, his long golden shawl hair shining in the sun, and his delicate face looked very tired.

"Lord Merlin, you are a whip, how can you be so passive. ”

The middle-aged knight replied unceremoniously, he had a scruffy beard, a resolute appearance, and was as strong as a brown bear.

"Knight Zakov," Merlin said curiously, "why do you say that, I am returning to the Templar to attend to official business. ”

"I'm sorry, my lord, I read the letter sent to you at noon, because this letter looks bulging, and the person who signed the envelope is written in pink again, and I am afraid that this is a threat to you from the wandering demon, and there may be dangerous items in it, so I opened it without permission. Unexpectedly, the letter contained a bitten peach, and this inexplicable red paint on the tooth print, which was very strange, and I suspected that it was some kind of deadly toxin. So I read the letter again, and it was only then that I realized that the so-called pink imp was actually Baroness York, and it seemed that she had an afternoon date with you. So it's hard to say whether you're going to the church, or going on a date, or going on a date in the church. ”

Merlin's face turned red, he applauded, and the silver thread on the leather gloves shone brightly: "Amazing, great, Knight Zakov, you are really observant, the section on the red toxin on the peach is especially wonderful, I think it is more appropriate to call you the Great Detective." ”

"If this is the Whip, I am a Thorn Knight who serves the Divine Mission, and I am loyal in this life. Zakov said in a solemn voice.

"You remember being the Knight of Thorns, and I'm the whip, that's great. So I may ask, what is the responsibility of the Thorn Knight to his superiors?"

"Obey orders. ”

"Obey orders," Merlin repeated, "not to open his letter and make irresponsible remarks. I'm glad we agreed, so I'm going back to business now, and you'll be in charge, Knight Zakov. ”

"But the order that Lord Blue has given me is to keep an eye on you and let you concentrate on catching demons. Since you are the leader of the Thorn Knights, you must have obeyed the Bishop's orders. Zakov retorted without flinching.

Merlin sighed and slumped against the wall, "Look, Zakov, we've been working together for ten years. ”

"Ten years and four days, my lordship, you entered the Order of Thorns and became a glorious apprentice knight. ”

"Hell, it's been almost eleven years. We've been fighting side by side for so long, don't you know me, I'm not the kind of person who abandons official duties and runs to go on a date with a noble lady. ”

"It's ......," Zakov hesitated.

"You're going to contradict me again, aren't you?" Merlin interrupted Zakov with an impatient wave of his hand, "I know what you're trying to say, I did do some indecent things in the past, but it was a young man, but I'm almost thirty years old now, and I'm mature enough to understand the meaning of responsibility. It's not that I don't want to catch the devil, but what's the use of our pestle here? Could it be that with that twisted portrait of the demon, someone will come to report it? Damn, this is complete nonsense, you look at the eyes of those two guards, they are as straight as dead fish, they can't do anything except to cause trouble, so I don't want to cooperate with them. I had a good idea, but it took the cooperation of Baroness York to make it happen. ”

Zakov looked back at the two guards standing guard, shook his head, and asked with a kind of distrustful expectation, "Is that really the case?" ”

Merlin smiled slightly: "That's why I'm a whip and you're just an ordinary knight." It's not too early now, I can't delay here, so don't mess around anymore, you will be responsible for missing a major event. ”

"In that case, please take me with you. ”

Looking at Zakov's unquestionable determination, Merlin was momentarily speechless. There is such a stubborn guy, I must find a chance to fire him, Merlin nodded reluctantly, and then the two turned to leave.

At this moment, a black-haired young man squeezed in front of the wanted notice, he took out a peach and took a bite, and then squeezed his dark green eyes: "This guy, I just saw it last night." ”

The narrator's mercenary sneered disdainfully, and the merchant grinned and said, "What kind of crocodile-headed scorpion is this time?"

The butcher muttered, "Cat and mouse? There are quite a few of these two in Raven Castle, maybe they are." ”

"What are you talking about?" said the young man, blankly, as he pointed to the portrait, "It's a demon, isn't it? ”

Hearing this, the guards on the side suddenly came back to their senses, and one of them came up and shouted, "Are you telling the truth, if you lie, you know the consequences." ”

"The consequence is that I will no longer be given a reward for reporting?" The young man scratched his head: "But I have taken the money, the demon seems to be seriously injured, and now he can't move at all, and it is easier for you to deal with him than to kill a pig tied up." ”
