Chapter 25: Avoiding Suspicion
After calming down a little, Renard moved the corpses of his parents to the bed, and drew a magic circle that had a freezing effect nearby, and there was no ice coffin for him in this world. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Then he took out the memory crystals he had snatched from the tavernkeeper and was about to look at them one by one, but the feeling of the Book of Death before appeared a little more, which made him notice a very backward piece in the pile of crystals, and there was nothing else, as if it was just a remnant of the previous one.
Renard gave up the plan to check the pieces one by one, directly picked up the crystal, and then injected spiritual power to activate it. If ordinary people want to activate the engram, they need to buy an infusion of magic ring from the mage, which was invented by a water mage a long time ago, which can automatically absorb some water magic from the air, and cannot use magic, so that people who do not have the ability to cast spells can activate some magic props, and the best magic ring at present, it also needs to be restored for two days before the engram can be activated once, and the number of rings prepared by the boss is obviously not enough, so he gave Renard the opportunity to interrupt.
The engram crystals became transparent, and around Renard, the water elemental gathered into an illusory screen, and the sky on the screen was very dark, as if it was about to turn dark. The tavern is already lit up, and this is one of the few places in the civilian area where there is light at night.
The tavern was particularly lively, with civilians and mercenaries bragging loudly, and the tavern's still charming waitress in her thirties diligently delivered bottles of cheap ale to various civilians and mercenaries, not minding that someone was constantly eating their tofu. It was a tavern scene that looked very ordinary, and Renard didn't bother to look at it, he used his mind to manipulate the image and fast-forward until it suddenly fell silent as a person entered.
Suddenly appearing at the door was a man close to thirty years old, looking a little ruthless, wearing clothes that looked like casual clothes but the material was good for a discerning person to know at a glance, and there seemed to be a kind of coercion around him, which made the tavern immediately quiet, although Reynard couldn't feel it through the screen.
He walked into the tavern, ignoring the mercenaries and civilians that filled the tavern, and just grabbed the waitress by the collar: "What about your boss?" The waitress also looked frightened: "In ...... ...... upstairs," and the man threw down the waitress and went straight up the stairs. After that, the engram stopped seeing the man, and after a short cooling, everything returned to normal.
Renard directly turned off the picture, and after that, his feelings did not appear again, he looked behind him one by one, and jumped five or six pieces to see the memory crystal in the boss's office on the second floor at that time. In this crystal, Renard watched the man walk into the boss's office, and the boss hurriedly stood up: "Distinguished guest, may I ask what you are doing?"
The light flashed in the man's hand, and Renard recognized that this was the light of the opening and closing of the space props, and then the man poured the small bag that suddenly appeared in his hand onto the boss's table, a full twenty gold coins, and the purchasing power was equivalent to nearly 200,000 yuan in Renard's previous life.
Then the man pulls out a portrait, which Renard recognizes as his own. The man said viciously: "Where is his house? Point it out, the money is yours!" The boss, who was dazzled by the gold coin, hurriedly told the address of Renard's house, and the man jumped directly from the window without saying a word.
Reynard was about to close the crystal when he suddenly found that the door of the room was pushed open again, and this time it was a bald man who came in, and Renard recognized it as Barrant Jubwal, the leader of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Regiment he had worked with, as an official knight. Barrant Jubwal frowned, "That was Lord Leighton Green's subordinate just now, what is he doing here?" the tavern keeper said lightly, "Ask something." Okay, about the list of timber escorts at Emnath Ridge last time...... "The next thing to talk about is a mission that has nothing to do with Renard, and Renard listens to it for a moment before turning off the engram.
He took a deep breath and walked out of the house, where he walked under the tavern again, and found the tavern owner loading his car, ready to pack up and run away. And the three carriages that often parked under the tavern had already run two of them, and it was clear that this was the last one.
Renard didn't say anything, squinted and stood in front of the tavernkeeper, who was packing up his things, paused, and then turned blue: "You still won't let me go, damn it, what the hell are you going to do? You're angry!" Renard didn't mind his accusation, and nodded generously: "Yes, I'm angry." And, do you dare to pat your chest and say you're completely innocent?"
The tavernkeeper's throat let out a helpless snort, and then he lowered his head in frustration: "Don't be angry with my family. They are innocent. Renard said indifferently: "I am not an indiscriminate murderer. I won't touch what they take away. As long as they never know that I killed you, I don't want anyone to suddenly want to seek revenge on me in the future, just like I did for you. ”
Renard, who was about to say a few more words, found that the tavernkeeper's hand hidden in his clothes was a little small at this time, he stopped talking nonsense and hesitated, and directly hit the tavernkeeper's neck with a holy light ray, and the tavern owner fell down with difficulty holding the scorched black wound on his neck, he seemed to be unable to believe that Renard's spell casting speed would be so fast.
Renard retrieved a crossbow from the place where the tavernkeeper had just moved, and found the twenty gold coins elsewhere on his body, as well as two daggers and two short swords. While repenting of his carelessness, Renard secretly increased his vigilance.
The hotel owner chose the hotel backyard, where there were no people, and the backyard was a forest outside, which also saved Renard's troubles, and he carried the hotel owner's body on his back and found a random place to bury it in the woods.
He then went home and got the memory crystal, and began to walk towards the castle of the city guards. He didn't expect the city guards to bring Leighton Green to justice for him, just to cause a little trouble.
But he was disappointed, he filled out the application for a report at the castle of the city guard and handed it in, but no one came to ask him about the situation until noon that day, and several people who came later than him were entertained by the guards, and he asked the guards, who only told him very politely: "I'm sorry, our superiors didn't give orders." Half a day passed, and he wasted no more time, and turned and walked out of the castle of the city guards.
As soon as he came out, he greeted Barrant Jubval, who smiled at him: "I guessed you were here, and I came here as soon as I got off work." Reynard Pi responded with a smile: "Mr. Commander, what are you doing?"
Barente Jubval's bald head glistened in the sun: "Nothing. I've just heard about your family, and about you winning the championship, and I know what happened when I think about what I saw in the tavern yesterday. Renard looked at Barrant Jubwal, "How can you help?" Barente Jubwal shook his head, "I can't afford to mess with Layton, so I can only give you a few suggestions." ”
Raynald and Barrant Jubval sat down on a rock by the side of the road, and Reynard said, "Listen up." Barrant Jubvar looked at the castle of the city guards first: "After you went in just now, no one asked you about anything, right?" Renard nodded, and Barrant Jubwal said: "The castle of the city guards will not care about this matter. Burderick Green, also known as Leighton Green's father, was the Empire's frontier general. The empire wants to let him fight with peace of mind, deal with the cultivators, and not bother him because of a civilian's matter. ”
Renard nodded, "I know." I figured this out just now. But what can I do? I haven't found the direction yet. Barrant Jubwal said, "He who came to the yin." Renard: "Shaded?"
Barrant Jubwal lowered his voice with a serious face, in fact, he had activated the magic props with a silent enchantment before, and no one else could hear him if he didn't lower his voice: "Yes, it can only come to Yin." Don't tell me what you can do, don't tell anyone, don't let anyone know your complete plan, don't leave a trace, or the city guards won't take care of you as they do for the Green family. ”
"Do you have any suggestions?" and Barrant Jubwal nodded, "Of course." Acton has run away, his tavern is now ownerless, and you can get it with the few thugs you left behind in the past. Our missions were all introduced to us by Acton, and there are a lot of people from all walks of life here. If you want to play tricks and gather intelligence, there's no better place to do it. ”
"Why don't you do it?" and Barrant Jubwal replied, "Because I'm not a mage, I can't hold it down." Renard nodded, he knew that Jubvar was also trying to get some good tasks after he ran the tavern, but he didn't mind.
Five days later.
In the past five days, no one from the Green family has appeared again, and it seems that a small civilian is not worth his attention at all. Renard stood in the cemetery of the city's aristocratic district, and he used the money he earned this semester to buy one of the best graveyards. He had wanted to have a funeral, but all his parents' relatives and friends had been going out for a trip when Renard was looking for them these days.
Renard doesn't blame them, because they also have their own things to keep, and they can't act against the nobles unscrupulously. So Renard chose to be buried directly. Blame it, blame the Grimm family, and ...... The god of truth who seals his feelings!
