Chapter 4: Arrival in Kailan

Watson's current town was not very economically developed, and naturally there were no fancy carriages, so he could only ride in the carriage that was originally used to carry goods, and only a small piece of space was vacated in the back of the goods, and a wooden bench was placed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There are always some gravel and other obstacles on the country road, so that the carriage is constantly up and down, but fortunately, Watson is not very concerned about this, because compared to walking for a few hours to Kailan Town, this is already quite comfortable, and the roads around Kailan Town are still quite well repaired, so this situation does not last long.

The carriage quickly stabilized after a period of jolting, and Watson took advantage of this time to reach into the inner pocket of his trench coat and take out the scroll that Maury had handed him earlier, reconfirming his mission.

The task is entrusted to the garrison sheriff of Kailan, who is responsible for managing all accidents and accidents in their jurisdiction, from brutal murders to the theft of a chicken.

Under normal circumstances, they don't fake when they encounter something, and the first thing others consider is whether they can solve it independently, because going to others for help will be seen by the people in their own jurisdiction as a sign of incompetence of the garrison, and their credibility will be hit by this, and then their funds will be limited, after all, no one wants to hand over money to a garrison that can't protect them every once in a while, right?

And now, since the task scroll in Watson's hand was released in the name of the Kailan Town Garrison, it means that they are indeed helpless about the current situation, and they can only seek help from professionals in desperation.

The things that can make it difficult for more than forty police officers in a relatively prosperous town to deal with are naturally not ordinary murders or robberies, according to some fragmentary information written on the mission, Watson can appear in Kailan Town is not a vicious murderer, but a monster with a perverted penchant for human flesh.

By the time the mission was taken, there had been 6 gnawed people in the town of Kailan who had been found in some dark alleys or secluded places, even if you just read the description of the text, Watson could feel the blood and madness behind, a few people died and a few people were eaten, these two kinds of information can bring panic effect in this kind of town, I believe that you can easily detect which one is more serious without comparison.

Watson estimated that it was also the phenomenon of corpses being eaten that prompted the garrison in Kailan Town to issue a commission to the Demon Hunter Guild, and in the eyes of ordinary people, the only murderers who would eat corpses were probably those evil monsters that always appeared in the mouths of some chantrers on the side of the road, and those who could deal with them were naturally Demon Hunters.

At this point, the information on the quest stopped, and the scroll ended with only a request to send a demon hunter to settle the matter as soon as possible.

Rolling up the quest scroll back in his hand, Watson looked up at his surroundings and noticed that some wooden huts and passers-by had begun to appear around, and it seemed that his current location should not be far from the town of Kailan.

"Ahem, sir, your destination has arrived. ”

After turning a corner, the carriage began to slow down slowly, and after a few more minutes the coachman's voice sounded in front of him.

"Oh, that's 10 copper coins, which should be enough to pay for my journey. ”

Watson took out a money bag from his waist, took out ten copper coins from it, put them in the coachman's hand, and said, ten copper coins are enough to buy 10 sturdy buckwheat bread, which is a good income for these lowest-level civilian coachmen.

"Of course, this is more than that, and I wish you all the best this time!"

The coachman is also not stingy with his blessings for the generous Watson, and this kind of auspicious words that do not require much effort have no effect but can always make people feel comfortable.

Watson straightened his clothes, checked to see if anything had been left on the carriage, and then said goodbye to the coachman and turned to the town of Kailan.

There were no mottled walls or guards guarding the intersections, and Watson, standing on the main road outside of Kailan, had an unobstructed view of the town, surrounded by many plainly dressed townspeople carrying goods, and some well-dressed people on horseback, who looked like merchants and the like.

"Looks like I'm lucky......"

After walking a few steps, he noticed a few policemen in front of him who were patrolling to the front of the town wearing the uniform unique to the garrison with a long sword pinned to their waists, and Watson, who was originally thinking of going to find someone to ask the location of the garrison, said.

"Hello, could you please take me to the town's garrison? I'm on a mission...... You should understand, I'm here to help you solve the problems that have arisen in the town. ”

Watson just wanted to reveal his identity, but after noticing that many people next to him had already looked at him, he paused, leaned two steps against the policeman in front, lifted his trench coat, and showed him his weapon before continuing.

"Hmm...... You continue to patrol, and I'll take this gentleman to Sir Kevin. ”

One of the policemen, who looked to be the captain, glanced at the scabbard and the handle of the gun around Watson's waist, and then looked at Watson's young face with a little respect and curiosity, and then turned to the few policemen behind him.

"What's going on in the town lately, have there been any new changes since your mission, such as new victims, or what you found the murderer like?"

Watson asked in a low voice as he walked beside the policeman, it seemed a little inappropriate to talk about these things on the street, but as a professional demon hunter, he had to get the details as soon as possible to help him make some judgments about how to proceed with the next steps.

"It's a bad situation...... New victims have been found in the last few days, but we still haven't found the killer, and even if we sent most of the garrison to search the town, we couldn't find the man-eating monster. Honestly, shouldn't these monsters have big targets? A normal person can see it at a glance, right?"

Talking about this topic, the police's chatterbox seems to have been opened, and it seems that he has been in a rather irritable mood for a while now, because this kind of news should be blocked, he can't mention it to outsiders, and now he can have someone to talk to, so he can't suppress his desire to speak.

"No, you're a little wrong, who told you that man-eating monsters must be very vicious? That's just your subjective guess, in fact, I've seen many monsters bargain with roadside vendors for an apple before killing people......"

Watson was naturally quite satisfied with the policeman's unconcealed confession, so he didn't mind telling him some information that was not very important.

"You mean...... Can those monsters take on the form of humans? Is it possible that I've come into contact with them head-on before......"

Watson's words seemed to startle the police, and he stammered a little and asked if he seemed to be recalling if he had seen some suspicious people before.

"Maybe, but these monsters still don't dare to mess around in crowded places, after all, this is still the home of our humans after all, no matter how powerful they are, they can only choose to hide themselves, and only come out at certain times to do something disgusting to us. ”

The expression on Watson's face remained the same, but he still said a few words that calmed the policeman's heart a little.

"When we arrive, there is the garrison of Kailan Town, and Chief Kevin is inside, and he told us to bring him there immediately if you come. ”

The policeman gestured to the nearby two-story building, which was significantly larger than the surrounding buildings.

Following the police all the way to the door, Watson saw that the layout of the garrison was not much different from the police stations he had seen in his previous life, with the same small area separated and uniformed policemen who were working or training people, and it seemed that everyone was actively working.

It's just that Watson can clearly feel that there is a depressing atmosphere here, because after looking around for a while, he found that there was no smile on the faces of the people around him, and even if there was, it was fleeting, and then his brows wrinkled unconsciously.

"Sir Kevin, I brought the person you asked us to wait for the day before yesterday. ”

The policeman stood outside the door and knocked cautiously, and it could be seen that this garrison chief named Kevin had a lot of prestige in their hearts.

The back door was opened in a few seconds, and what appeared in front of Watson was a hardcore man with a burly face and a rather serious expression, and it has to be said that he looked quite imposing.

"Watson, this time the Demon Hunter who is here to solve the trouble. ”

Sideways to let the police out, and then followed Sheriff Kevin into the room Watson held out his hand and spoke.

"I'm Kevin, the prefect of the garrison in Kailan Town, I'm glad you could come over, how about it, do you need me to make you a cup of coffee or something?"

Kevin said with a very official smile on his face, and after shaking Watson's hand, the smile faded.

"No, now I need to know all the information about the one or the murderer who recently appeared in your town. I had just spoken to the police officers who brought me on the way here, but I didn't get much useful information. ”

Watson didn't intend to continue to be polite, and directly began to ask about his mission goals.

"I know it sounds humiliating...... Unfortunately, we have not had more useful information other than the bodies of the victims. The bastard left nothing at the scene of the crime to find it, except for an uncomfortable corpse. ”

A flush appeared on Kevin's face, and he didn't know if it was out of anger or shame.

"Okay, I'm going to look at the corpses, don't tell me you've disposed of them, I think I should be able to see something out of them. ”

A look of disappointment flashed across Watson's face, and he pursed his lips and continued.
