Chapter 78: Clues about the enemy

Xiuge scratched his head embarrassedly, "Then I'll go and bring them back." ”

Lu Xi sighed and waved his hand, "No need, wait and let Marco and Cross go out to find out, I have other things to trouble you." ”

As he spoke, Lu Xi asked about the "rubbing picture scroll", but he didn't say much about the chestnut flowers.

Although Xiuge's identity is very credible and he doesn't have to worry about betrayal, the fewer people who know about what happened before the farm, the less trouble Lu Xi will have.

The more you know about the farm, the easier it is to find out that something is wrong with Luxi.

Fortunately, in the previous temptation, Lu Xi already knew that his identity, except for the last letter to inherit the farm, had nothing to do with the Poberstein family.

For the Pobelstein family, "Miss Lucy" is a completely unfamiliar identity, even Lord Dannoi, who wrote a letter to "Lucy" himself, but only had a few contacts with "Lucy" when she was a child.

It was Dannoi's selfish desire to arrange for Hug to become the knight of "Lucy", and he did not want anything to happen to the descendants who inherited Lady Charlotte's farm.

On this basis, it was the approval of the Pobelstein family, who recognized the value of "Lucy" and agreed to this matter.

Therefore, in addition to his own allegiance, Lord Dannoi's care, and the interests of the Pobostein family, Lu Xi could not help but consider these issues.

Xiuge is not stupid, it's just that he has chosen to be loyal to Lu Xi as a knight, and there is a natural kinship between them, even if he knows that Lu Xi has something and doesn't plan to tell him, he just obediently does what Lu Xi says, and doesn't think much about it.

"Rubbing? I have it, Miss Lucy, do you want to use it? ”

As a member of the Royal Order, Shug carries many of the Order's standard tools, such as rubbings.

Because the members of the Royal Knights often need to go out to carry out various tasks, some to hunt and kill certain monsters that endanger humans, and some to deal with the dirty things between those nobles, among which the preservation of evidence is a very important link.

Xiuge not only has rubbings in his hands, but there are even several kinds, some of which are actively rubbed, which are not very hurtful, and some of which are forced to rub certain news, and they don't care about hurting people.

What Lu Xi saw in the book, the introduction of rubbing picture scrolls, is actually just the simplest and primitive kind, and with the passage of time, it has long developed a different appearance.

Lu Xi naturally chose the least hurtful one, Xiuge took out a scroll-like item from his hundred-cubic-sized contract package, and handed Lu Xi a blue-red fruit the size of his thumb.

It's like a half-green apple.

"After eating this hemp fruit, it can reduce mental pain." Seeing that Lu Xi chose the one that did the least damage, Xiuge knew that this was not to torture the enemy.

Then the attitude is very clear, so they sensibly took out their royal knights, which can reduce the pain, although there is no recovery effect, but it is good to not feel pain.

Lu Xi was not polite, accepted it directly, called Lihua, handed over the things to her, and told her how to use it, and did not avoid Xiuge in the process.

From the time Lu Xi asked for the rubbing scroll, Xiuge knew what Lu Xi was going to do, and it would be a bit of a steal to avoid him.

It's just that Lu Xi didn't plan to tell the reason for the matter, so Xiuge didn't ask, and when he was doing a mission in the Royal Knights, Xiuge was used to this.

The head of the Royal Order, when dealing with the affairs of the nobles, was always the same, suddenly silent after discovering something.

No one will delve into the reason, those who should know will always know, and those who should not know will disappear.

Without saying a word, Chestnut took the rubbing scroll, unfolded the scroll according to Xiuge's guidance, closed her eyes and recalled the day four months ago.

Every night when she woke up, Chestnut had the scene of that day in her mind, and it was effortless to recall, and soon, Chestnut remembered the appearance of that person in her mind.

But it wasn't the day the farm was shut down...... Rather, it was the man who had visited the farm as a guest two days before.

Chestnut said that she was a slave, but her status was different from that of ordinary slaves, she had been with Mrs. Charlotte, she was a personal maid, and she had studied writing for a period of time before she was arranged to raise a nursery.

Therefore, the people who were in charge of the farm could talk, and it happened that day that she went to report the matter of the nursery and saw the visiting guests.

On the day the farm was destroyed, the man flew in the sky, and when he looked up, he could see it, and if he hadn't seen that person, in the midst of the fire and thunder, it would have been impossible for Chestnut Flower to know what that person looked like.

But I just saw it two days ago, how could Chestnut Flower not recognize the person's figure.

The rubbing scroll flashed with light, and it was naturally closed, representing the success of the rubbing, Lihua opened her eyes, and was just about to move, but her body was weak, and she gritted her teeth to stabilize her body, and handed the rubbing scroll with the appearance of the enemy to Lu Xi.

Lu Xi took it and opened the scroll in front of Xiuge, not guarding against Xiuge - she also wanted to know if Xiuge could have seen this person, anyway, she hadn't told Xiuge what had happened.

On the rubbing, there is a very clear full-body portrait of the character, which is more like a real 3D model than a 2D flat painting, and there is a "sense of realism" that is about to move at any time.

The person on the scroll is a middle-aged man, older, looking to be in his forties, but his body is not strong, he is thin, and he is not tall, only one meter in his early sevens.

The white robe on his body has no obvious markings, and it is impossible to guess the identity of the other party from the clothes.

As for the face, it is very ordinary, so ordinary that Lu Xi even subconsciously ignored the appearance of the other party, and could not find a debatable appearance feature.

No, Lu Xi couldn't help but shake his head, wanting to wake himself up from this hypnotic feeling.

It seems that the image that Chestnut Flower saw was not necessarily the real appearance of that person, and an elemental mage who could destroy the farm could definitely not be remembered by a slave so easily.

What's more, before doing the thing of destroying the door, he had visited the door openly, and he must have covered it up by reasonable means.

Lu Xi pulled the corners of her mouth helplessly, she knew that it was not so simple to know who the "murderer" was, where there might be no investigation at all, and she knew that she had picked up the murderer's self-portrait.

Lu Xi looked at Xiuge, Xiuge had already frowned, thinking about the hypnotic effect above, Xiuge was already aware of it, but he didn't know why, he didn't know that the speed was not as fast as Lu Xi.

Lu Xi immediately sensed that something was wrong when he saw it for the first time, and then quickly came to his senses, but Xiuge seemed to be still struggling.

In this case, Lu Xi didn't dare to intervene easily, so she looked at Lihua again, Lihua stared at the portrait of the person above, her eyes were full of hatred, but she didn't feel wrong at all, in her eyes, the portrait of the person on the rubbing scroll was exactly the appearance of the enemy in her memory.

Lu Xi thought it was very wonderful, so that person was actually guarding against an ordinary person like Lihua? Put a layer of hypnotic illusions on yourself, even if you are seen, what you recall afterwards will only be an illusion in the eyes of ordinary people.

Therefore, the portrait of the person on this rubbing scroll is indeed the scene that Lihua saw in his eyes at that time, but people with low spiritual strength will not perceive the hypnotic power above, and only people with strong spiritual power can detect that something is wrong.

Is my mental strength strong? Lu Xi thought it was funny, probably more because of his golden finger.

Xiu Gemeng's eyes opened, he was already completely awake, he pursed his lips and looked at this picture scroll defensively, and then looked at Lu Xi, "Miss Lucy, who is this?" That's not what he looks like. ”

Lu Xi naturally knew it, but she remembered that there seemed to be a book that mentioned that the effects of elemental spells like this were flawed, such as ignoring the appearance on the face, then there must be nothing to hide in the body.

This is also the reason why this person wears a white robe where nothing can be seen.

"One, enemy." Lu Xi looked at the chestnut blossom and replied to Xiuge.

In the end, she inherited the identity of "Lucy Rollert" to live in this world, and inherited this farm with many secrets, so she has to accept the grievances that arise from it.

The portraits on the rubbing scroll have a hypnotic effect, even if Lu Xi can wake up soon, but when he looks at it again, the impact is still there, and it is difficult to see the details.

Xiuge was stunned for a moment, probably didn't expect Lu Xi's answer to be so simple, and scratched his head, "I remember, Miss Lucy." ”

I don't know what I've remembered.

Chestnut Flower, who had already eaten the hemp fruit and had not recovered, but had not felt the pain, looked at it hesitantly after hearing the conversation.

His eyes fell on the rubbing, and he couldn't believe the content of the dialogue, "Fake? Am I mistaken? ”

This is obviously a great blow, Lu Xi hurriedly opened his mouth and explained simply, what Lihua saw was indeed the murderer himself, but because the other party covered his appearance, the appearance on this portrait could not be believed.

But in addition to the appearance, there is no cover-up, so if you can find clues elsewhere on the body, you can still determine the identity of this person, but it is not as direct as the appearance.

After listening to Lu Xi's explanation, Lihua still looked lost, it was hard to imagine that what she memorized hard was just a fake look.

Lu Xi looked at Lihua and shook her head, she didn't persuade again, this kind of thing still has to be figured out by herself, and then looked at the rubbing scroll.

Since there is no way to check the details of the authentic product, then ...... Will the scanned image still have that hypnotic effect?

Lu Xi thought of it, called up the system panel, scanned the portrait of the person on the rubbing scroll, and then used the system panel to view the portrait.

Not to mention, although the picture scanned by the system is the ordinary appearance of the person after disguise, the weird hypnotic effect is really gone.

Lu Xi enlarged and magnified the entire portrait through the system panel, and those corners and corners that were difficult to detect were seen in this way.

After all, the image scanned by the system has no missing frames, and it will not be a little blurry when magnified hundreds of times.

Looking at it like this, Lu Xi really found a lot of things.

Although this extremely ordinary-looking appearance is not credible, Lu Xi found that there is a less obvious feature in his figure, which can easily be regarded as an angle problem.

That is, this person's shoulders are a little biased, high on the left and low on the right, and it is very likely that he has been injured and left behind the sequelae of not treating it in time, or he was born with some defects.

And this man seemed to know, and even put something on his low shoulders to hide the difference—details that were naturally difficult for the average person to notice.

Then Lu Xi noticed that the height of this person's shoes was wrong, a bit like adding a thick sole.

So, this murderer actually doesn't even have a meter seven? Should I say it or not, this height suddenly shortened Lu Xi's target range.

Who made the average height of people in this other world relatively tall, and there were very few adult males who were no more than one meter seven, especially nobles with status, who were well fed and drunk, and were rich in nutrition, how could they be short?

So once there are people who qualify, it must be quite conspicuous.

Lu Xi also found some other details, such as a necklace with a corner exposed on his neck, and a dark mark on the edge of his wrist that resembled a birthmark......

But Lu Xi didn't say anything about these things, but only mentioned that the shoes were a little too high, and this thing was the easiest to find.

Lihua has been silent, Lu Xi has not persuaded too much, put away the portrait of the murderer, and Lu Xi is ready to get up for dinner.

Even if the world is destroyed tomorrow, today's dinner should still be eaten, not to mention that the world will not be destroyed tomorrow.

Lihua followed Lu Xi's side, and after a period of time, Lihua was Lu Xi's maid, and she went back to the Midoli family as usual at night, and came over at half past five every morning.

The place where Lu Xi can get the chestnut flowers is to cook and wash the dishes after the meal, and at most add a little cleaning, so in fact, the chestnut flowers can be here in Luxi before and after meals every day, and in normal times, it is okay to go home and do things.

After a busy afternoon, with the help of the Marco patrol, the villagers of Xinwa Village on the Lingyu Farm Square had already packed up their things and returned to Xinwa Village.

Now the Spiritual Farm is clean, and it has restored its original image.

Cross and Marco were summoned by Lu Xi and came over just after dinner.

Lu Xi told Xiuge that he had cleaned up the monsters, so that the two of them could take people outside the farm to pick up the monster corpses and come back, which would save them a waste.

A few dozen gold coins are nothing to Lu Xi, but for the members of the Marco patrol, one gold coin per person is worth a lot, and their monthly salary is less than a gold coin.

Not to mention their value for Kroos.

And Xiuge cleaned up the monsters outside the farm, which means that even if there is no one to protect them, they will not encounter any danger, and they can rest assured that they can go out and pick up the monster corpses.

At the same time, Lu Xi looked at Marko, "Without further ado, starting tomorrow, you will take people to harvest the farmland." ”

After a while, Lu Xi suddenly remembered that Rowem seemed to have suggested that he go to the craftsman Uhe before, what tools could help with the harvest, right?

After looking at the sky and dinner, let's finish dinner and go over again.
