It was a peaceful night, and the flames did not stop at any time, leaving only the bones and ashes of the earth, and no one came to mourn but to be buried in this isolated valley.

And the eyes that will eventually return to darkness, even if they were once radiant, are only a vague and sad mirror.

Sealed the letters and documents in the suitcase, it was still the standard detective's black trench coat, and his favorite skeletal cane, the chain of the pocket watch slightly peeking out of the jacket pocket, and looked around to make sure there was nothing missing.

Waiting for the arrival of others in front of the broken door, Ethan walked down the stairs with a cigarette in his mouth and humming a song, and asked Jiang Chenchuan if he needed it, but he waved his hand and refused.

"Haven't tried?"

"Tried."

It's just that when one of his teammates dies in the middle of a mission due to cigarette addiction, he never touches it again, it's like walking on a tightrope, and if you're not careful, you'll fall into the abyss.

Thinking about it, Jiang Chenchuan added:

"Affects physical health."

"Hahaha, thanks for the advice."

Ethan didn't look concerned.

Rena and Thoma were also ready, planning to leave Goat Town today, their goals were not the same, but they happened to meet halfway through, and they became companions for a short time.

The road out of the mountain is as difficult as ever, and Nika leads the way, and when you go, you can only rely on Ethan's compass to lead the way, which proves to be just as unreliable as smart map navigation.

They stayed in the mountains for an extra day before they returned to the place where they had entered the mountains and found the carriage where the hotel was kept.

But the people at the inn said that someone had ridden their horses before them, so that they were forced to squeeze home in the same carriage with Ethan.

"Wait!"

After saying this, Ethan rushed out of the hotel, looking murderous and not knowing what to do.

"It's certainly not a good thing to relax."

Thoma comforted from the side.

After all, Ethan's brain circuits seem to be a little different from theirs, and it can even be said that they are a little out of the box, according to Toma, there are always unexpected things that will happen when teaming up with Ethan.

For example, now......

Only a few minutes had passed, and Ethan was seen smiling and waving at the door:

"Come on, friends, the steam car is better than the horse-drawn carriage anyway, there is no time, we should go!"

Thoma's reaction was flexible, and he rushed over with a large bag of luggage, Jiang Chenchuan probably guessed something, leaving only Rena with a question mark on her face to follow behind.

"Wait, what's the situation? Are there any car rental agencies nearby? ”

"Of course there is no such."

Ethan replied heartily.

"I grabbed a car, but I had to hurry up, or the owner would come back."

Rena was directly stunned, this unfolding was completely unexpected.

"Come on, come on, get ready to go!"

Stuffing the suitcase into the car, Ethan sat in the driver's seat and greeted, and the owner of the car who had just entered the store noticed that something was not right, and a group of strange men and women crowded into his car.

"Hey! ——”

Of course, Ethan didn't pay attention to the owner's call, and stepped on the accelerator, and the car flew out like an arrow off the string, which turned out to be much faster than the horse-drawn carriage, but it was expensive, and not many people could afford it.

There are not many unlucky people who can be robbed as soon as they buy a car.

Thoma covered his face, looking like he couldn't see anyone, it seems that this has happened more than once, thanks to Ethan's popularity, several times as soon as he blended into the crowd, he escaped smoothly, otherwise with his temperament, he might often see him in the sheriff's office.

The swift cold wind gradually moved away from the surrounding mountains like a sharp blade, the mountains behind her getting smaller and smaller, and finally slowly disappeared into her vision, Rena looked back, as if she wanted to see through the fog to see the truth behind it.

But the truth is always so cruel, and when the hazy veil is lifted, it is a bloody truth.

She habitually touched the ring around her neck, remembering the last time she was almost killed by a tentacle, the ring was burning hot.

At that moment, she was not frightened, but heard countless small and complicated whispers, which surrounded her ears, like ancient gods, leaning over her and whispering softly, telling stories of the past.

It was as if she was getting closer, just a little closer to touching something.

"But who is that man?"

Jiang Chenchuan's words pulled Rena back to reality from her memories, and she listened attentively.

"Has he been in Goat Town all along, or has he just shown up?"

"Does it matter?"

Thoma asked, puzzled.

"Of course, timing is always important, if we can meet him, maybe we can uncover more truths, but unfortunately, he ran away and burned most of the woods."

Ethan drove the car, staring ahead, not forgetting to answer Thomas's questions.

"It's not over yet."

The journey to Goat Town is over, but the events in Goat Town are not over, the truth about the production of black goat horns, and the disappearance of alchemy raw materials, this is a far-reaching event for alchemists.

Also, the Church of the Dawn......

"Of course, it's not over yet."

Only Ethan agreed.

The journey back to Polonia was still a long way off, and since no one was qualified to drive a steam car, Ethan had to drive it alone.

I heard that the qualification exam is so perverted that it is difficult for people or ghosts to get in, and the ghost knows how Ethan got in.

Not only that, according to Thoma, Ethan also took various qualifications during his studies at the academy, and compared to an unlucky person like him who even had difficulty graduating, Ethan was simply a genius.

If this is put in modern times, it is more or less a king of learning gods.

But the King of Rolls also had to rest, and every eight hours of driving, they had to find a place to stop and let Ethan sleep.

Watching Ethan fall asleep in the driver's seat, everyone else will find something to do for themselves.

"Ewell."

Jiang Chenchuan was leaning in front of the car in a daze, Rena sat down beside him, there was no image of a lady at all, and after a trip through Goat Town, Rena was getting farther and farther away from what the duke wanted to cultivate.

"You say, how did Nika die, yes...... Killed by that tentacle? What is that tentacle? Does it have anything to do with the person who ran away? ”

"I don't know, not every puzzle has an answer, Miss Rena."

Jiang Chenchuan looked up at the sky, the darkness shrouded the world, and he was close to Polnia, and he could faintly see the light on the world tree in the distance.

"Tipsters always want to know everything, and they must always have a heart of exploration and a passion for the unknown."

"Who told you that?"

Jiang Chenchuan was a little curious.

"My mother, she once told me that in peacetime, it is no longer a war of weapons, it is a war of intelligence, and to have intelligence is to master the lifeblood."

"Intelligence is life?"

"Yes, intelligence is life, so I'll find out everything, Mr. Ewell!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Jiang Chenchuan smiled slightly and continued to look into the distance.

In the endless darkness behind him, there seemed to be a figure staying, hiding in the shadows, his gaze fell on Rena's body, and Jiang Chenchuan, who noticed something strange, turned his head, but saw nothing.
