On the mountain road of the Gassen hills, a half-box carriage is racing against the setting sun, the oblique shadow quickly cuts through the grass and bushes, and the chariot is driven by a slightly blessed woman, constantly raising the horsewhip, making a crisp sound of "pop", beside the woman, a young man is fully armed and leaning against the tarpaulin, his eyes closed.

"Sleep well, Brian, how long can you hold on?" said Sarina, in a slightly commanding tone.

"I didn't expect you to catch a car. Brian tightened the leather armor on his body, driving away the spring cold that had not yet faded, "I want to sleep too, but unfortunately my mind is full of question marks." ”

"Did you find out anything?"

Brian shook his head and said: "The killer is very powerful, he does things cleanly, and everyone's death time is about the same, that is to say, this person killed all the guards in an instant, including the captain of the temple guard, and left no traces, not even a shoe print, he is not ordinary!"

"So we're going to the Evacuation Farm for help?"

"That's right. Brian said, "Dunbar has promised to meet all the conditions I proposed, so this time I will ask them to borrow a strong man above level 7 to help me solve the case, otherwise even if I find the assassin, I will die." ”

"How can you be sure that it's an assassin?" asked Sarina.

"Most of them were assassins, and the expressions of each of the deceased were calm, without showing panic, but the wounds were all on the chest, and the blood was thinner than the little finger, and the blood had not yet had time to flow out. The forensic doctor believes that everyone was attacked by surprise, and without even reacting, they were pierced through the chest by a sharp object at high speed, and I am afraid that only assassins can do this, very high-level assassins, maybe level seven, maybe level eight. Brian analyzed.

"Can the Dou Qi shield of a high-level warrior be pierced in an instant, there are few such great empires!"

"Indeed, or rather, Palitzer didn't even release his shield. ”

Sarina was silent for a while and said, "You can use my money first, but remember that you can't die, no one will pay the bills when you die, and no one will manage the lumber yard for me." ”

"Then I'm welcome, but it's not yet, it depends on God's arrangement. ”

Sarina tightened the reins and said, "It's almost there, get out of the car, what race do you say that Helois belongs to?"

"So you were peeking that night, weren't you?" said Brian, "I almost forgot your hobby." ”

"Is it really a demon for someone like her?" Salina said with regret.

"What's the matter, isn't it sad? I almost fell in love with the princess of the demon race? I guess she's probably half-human, half-demon, with the blood of two races. Brian got out of the car and stretched.

"Can humans and demons still be combined, demons are so terrifying?"

"Although the difficulties are great, don't others overcome them, so we don't have to be afraid. ”

"Let's die, stinky man, who's going to be with you?"

"Don't show your teeth and claws, there is an earth-walking beast in front of you, and it doesn't appreciate fierce women. Brian prompted.

Sarina looked over and saw that on the avenue leading to the castle, there were two huge crocodile-like monsters, ten meters long, huge scales shining in the night, yellow eyes staring at them. "Scary enough, they won't attack us, will they?"

"Probably not, they're just big watchdogs, and they're in charge of keeping the house at night. Brian guessed, "Let's try to act like old acquaintances, and the watchdog will only wag his tail when he sees an acquaintance." ”

The two of them walked halfway through the road with a hard head, and one of the earthwalkers suddenly began to move, and its four short legs propped up its body, slowly moving to their sides, sniffing the scent of humans with its huge nostrils, and spewing out white mist from time to time. The beast judged for a moment, perhaps believing that they were not in danger, and turned away.

"If you're really afraid, I have broad shoulders and a chest. Brian saw the beast walk away and began to be a hero.

"I want to pee, Brian. ”

"That's still holding back, but don't smell like the big monster. Brian said embarrassedly, "Look, Palmer's butler is out, and there is no shame on him." ”

Finally, Brian and Sarina finally meet Helois, and the girl's naughty appearance disappears, revealing the melancholy of her age. "What's the matter, Brian, I won't agree to Sarina coming back. ”

"No, I'm in big trouble. Brian sat down and was about to explain the reason, when he saw Herois's brow furrow slightly and said something inexplicable.

"I'm afraid you're cowardly, aren't you?Senior, I don't think you even dare to provoke a first-level skeleton. ”

"You're talking to Senior, that damn hedgehog?" Brian asked.

"Yes, that cowardly pig knows how to run away in the underworld. Helois replied.

"Is there some kind of connection between you?"

Helois nodded and asked, "Tell me where you came from." ”

Brian described the death of Archbishop Alcott, and was about to make a request, but Helois angrily said, "Solve it myself, I can't go to the underworld." ”

"I'm sorry, I've cut ties with Senior, that pig has encountered a dark spider in the underworld, and it's a little dangerous. Helois apologized, "You're in a bad situation, your opponent is so strong, do you need the help of the Vault Farm?"

"Yes, miss, are there any high-level assassins in the house who can help me solve the case? ”

"Yes, there is, but this person is very difficult to contact, and he even eats alone. The girl was a little embarrassed.

"It is sinful to eat alone, I don't know who said that. Brian remembered the classic quote again, and of course he never remembered who said it.

"Don't say that to him, or I won't be able to save you. "Otherwise, I'll help you, after all, you helped me that day." ”

"You, don't do anything else. Brian shook his head.

"I already know my life experience, I feel bored here, I want to go out for a walk, and I will help you by the way. Helois's tone was sad, "I'll go and tell Uncle Shadow to let him keep me safe, if I don't take the big fat man this time, I'm afraid he can't leave it alone." ”

"Uncle Shadow?" said Brian, "what a special name." ”

"His nickname is Shadow, and no one knows his origin and rank except for his grandfather. Helois suddenly felt a pain in his head, and it seemed that Seniore really couldn't hold it anymore, so he had to recite a spell and summon it back.

The silk hinged pig appeared on the floor of the living room, causing Sarina to jump up and scream, "Oh my God, the mummy!"

"Don't be afraid, Sarina, that's Miss's retinue, a stupid pig. Brian explained.
