Chapter 180: Pharmacist
"I think it's important to tell you that this quest was released about a little over a week ago...... At first, it was just a D-class mission, and three demon hunters accepted the mission one after another, but after going to the mission site to investigate, nothing came to fruition. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The mission intermediary took the screen and flipped through the historical information about the mission, and after a while frowned and said to Watson.
"Uh...... Is this mission fake? There are no ghosts in that house?"
"It's not true, all the demon hunters who have been there are sure that there is some kind of supernatural monster there, and they have seen it a few times, but they just can't catch it, and they have been constantly harassed by ghosts during this period, and they have all had to quit after staying there for two days, so you better prepare before you go. ”
Part of the reason why they found out but couldn't catch them may be because the previous people were demon hunters, but the ghosts themselves must be good at concealment, and if they don't make some preparations, they may not even be able to please Watson.
Took the quest scroll and walked out of the Demon Hunting Guild, the location of the nobles' mansion is in a villa area that is relatively remote in the Central City, most of the villas here are owned by the nobles of Erion's lower status, not like the nobles in Wildas City all live in the center of the city, not that these nobles do not want to live in the inner ring city, but they are not qualified.
They can't even buy villas in the middle of the city, and those ordinary houses can, but as aristocrats, they naturally don't want to lose their dignity as aristocrats and live with some commoners.
Although Erion has never had a rule of aristocratic separation, this is also a tacit fact, the status of nobles is always much higher than that of commoners, if everyone lives together, even the houses they live in, then this sense of superiority will naturally not be reflected.
Therefore, in the end, these small nobles would rather choose to build a more luxurious villa in the outskirts of the Central City, rather than buy an ordinary small villa in a more central location, and the foreign nobles who issued the task this time are estimated to be unable to even buy the villas on the periphery, and they are anxious to find a place to settle down, so they have no choice but to choose this villa, which is said to be very haunted.
After holding the task scroll in his hand and checking the specific address on it, Watson did not rush over there, but went to the shop of the Holy See to replenish a lot of holy water and purchased the props that are likely to be used in this mission------ Dust of Appearance.
Since the target this time may be good at concealing this ability, this kind of prop is naturally indispensable, although the Holy See is always secretive about the production process of this kind of thing, but its effect is still quite guaranteed, no matter what the state of stealth existence, the dust of development can show it.
Because this prop itself does not start from how to remove the invisibility, but how to make the invisibility of the existence of the invisibility state covered with a layer of dust that can be seen clearly, even if the most perfect assassin in stealth, if accidentally stained with this kind of thing, this kind of body will be easily exposed.
In other words, as long as Watson has this in his hand, the next thing he has to look for is only the place where the ghost may exist, and the rest is just to throw the glass ball containing the dust of development in his hand, and then just prepare for battle.
"Is this thing that powerful...... Can my brown bread be smashed out of this stuff too?"
"The Dream Eater's hiding method is not stealth, but shadow lurking, which is much stronger than the skill of stealth, its stealth is simply sneaking in the shadows, and the dust of development is naturally ineffective against it. ”
Viola, sitting in the taxi, held two glass balls in his hands, his eyes wide to check the shimmering pile of dust inside, while Watson was checking his newly acquired pair of armguards, which he unexpectedly found last night could automatically return to a round state after being disassembled, a function that he thought should be made for ease of carrying.
But to be honest, it's not very convenient, after all, running around with two grapefruit-sized metal iron balls can't be said to be light, but after trying to drive it with mental power, Watson accidentally discovered another way to use this metal ball, that is, as a detection instrument, as long as it is placed on the ground and activated, then any energy body that passes through its detection area will be transmitted back to Watson's mind by it.
There is only one flaw in this way, that is, the metal ball should not be too far away from Watson, which is of course the reason why Watson's mental power is not strong enough to be controlled too remotely, but most of the reason is that this thing is really valuable, what if it is placed too far away and picked up directly after being discovered by the enemy......
Watson...... Do you think the mansion is desolate or lively?"
"Of course it's desolate, and no one likes to live near such a mansion, and every day I hear the ghosts crying and howling from the side, and who can guarantee that the ghost will always stay in the same place, and if it wants to go out and hang out one night, isn't the house next to it the first to suffer. ”
Watson, who had been keeping an eye on the metal ball, didn't notice what was going on outside the taxi, and lowered his head to answer Viola's question.
"I thought the same as you thought at first, but if the target location on the quest scroll is correct...... What's going on with this camping party of a dozen people in front of this haunted house? I think the tents they are carrying are going to stay here for two days. ”
Pulling Watson's clothes, Viola pointed to the group of people at the gate of the target mansion not far away, at first she thought that these people might just use this as a meeting place for the time being, and the real camping spot was somewhere else, who knew that it didn't take long for someone over there to open the gate of the mansion and start walking inside.
The taxi also stopped on the side of the road at this time, and Watson paid for the metal arm guard in his hand and put it into her shadow space, got out of the car and hurriedly ran over.
"Hey, what are you doing here? This villa is haunted! Aren't you people afraid of death?"
It's also very strange to say, human beings themselves are actually quite afraid of ghosts and ghosts, but when they see these things with their own eyes, they always have an inexplicable sense of confidence, thinking that they are just a ghost, there are so many of them, the ghost must not be able to do anything to them.
Since the ghost story was broadcast on the radio some time ago, many listeners who like this type of story have wanted to see this kind of thing with their own eyes, and they have been suffering from not having the opportunity.
These people who want to seek excitement in their ordinary lives, obviously afraid of death, but still diligently search for such things as ghosts, as if it is worth dying to see such a supernatural existence once in their lives, and this camping team was established in this way.
Originally, this group of people had a group of supernatural research groups in private, and they discussed these things all day long, but now they decided to come here to "explore" with almost no objections from each other.
Speaking of which, the house itself is a "haunted house" where there is no owner, although the people who own it have been trying to sell it, but it has been sold several times and ended in tragedy.
It stands to reason that this kind of thing should have been reported to the Demon Hunting Guild as soon as possible, but the owner of this house refused, if he went to invite the Demon Hunter, not to mention whether this house could be cleaned up, the cost alone was not low! And even if it was cleaned up, what if it was cleaned up...... It's not like no one buys it yet.
Now it is confirmed that someone buys it, and the Demon Hunting Guild will receive the commission, otherwise I don't know how long it will be abandoned, but these people also happened to come to camp at this time, which makes Watson really helpless.
After negotiating for about half an hour, he decided not to care about the lives of these people, because these people completely ignored the ghosts he said, and even a few people said that if there were no ghosts, they would not come, and now that they knew that there were ghosts inside, they were even more interested......
"So what now? Won't they mess us in like this? ”
Since returning from the last time she came back from the Jondal Forest, Viola's mind has also opened up a lot, if she used to ask now whether she wanted to protect them, and now she asked questions that she cared more about her own and Watson's tasks, this is also a good change, and purposeful "selfishness" is not a bad character in this world.
"Cut, let them die! These people are really hopeless, they like to watch ghosts so much, and they will laugh if they see them so scared that they pee their pants...... It's just afternoon anyway, and the ghost doesn't think it will come out in front of so many people.
"I wanted to go in and see if there were any clues, but now it seems that even if there is, it will be almost destroyed by these people, and we will go in later...... Wait, I seem to have seen an "acquaintance", let's go and have a look!"
Who is this "acquaintance", naturally the man who appeared behind the window on the second floor of the next house during the last mission to do Mary's Wraith, Watson seems to have a lot of fate with him, and can bump into him every time, this time he appeared on a street corner in the distance, and the place of observation is this house.
The dumpling on his shoulder quickly jumped down and changed into a battle form, and this time Watson said that he would chase after this person as well! )
