71. Cases (Chapters)

"What are you doing......

"Two players committed suicide just now, next time I should show weakness first, and then ......"

"I mean, where did you get these big brothers?"

Li Nuo pointed to the group of black-clothed men behind Marjie, and his heart trembled with shock.

How did Leno find Marje...... Because there are some trivial things involved, I'll just talk about it briefly.

After entering Novigre, Li Nuo has been staying in the hotel in order to prevent himself from being targeted.

During this time, he filled his stomach, listened to the singing of traveling entertainers in the tavern for a long time, and then found a map, and went back to the house to memorize the map of Novigre in his head.

By the way, I went to the kitchen and borrowed a cauldron, and made a [Demon Decoction Potion] and a special bomb for witchers called [Dancing Star] in the house.

Because the smell is so strong, in the words of one guest: who is blowing in the toilet!

So Li Nuo was kicked out.

Just as he was pitying for life in the cold wind, he saw a group of big men in black squatting in the alley, and out of curiosity, he mixed behind the big men.

Then they were "summoned" by Marger together.

With an area of 140,000 square kilometres, it is not easy for two lonely individuals to meet.

So Li Nuo felt that it should be the mirror master who was controlling the occurrence of some things.

Anyway...... At least it's a good thing that I met Marger.

"Where did I get these big brothers?" Marjie looked at the bodyguards around him, shrugged his shoulders, and snorted coldly: "Paid to hire it." ”

"But they don't look cheap." Li Nuo said.

"Yes, these are veterans who have retired from the battlefield, and the cost of hiring a person is more than the total monthly income of an average family in Novigre." Marjie smiled: "But I have money, the character [Kenshi Character Creation Card] gave me is a 'businessman', and I came as a down-and-out beggar, and I was caught inheriting the inheritance in about a minute after I arrived." ”

Maljie reached out and took out a cane from the lattice, and put on his top hat as he walked: "I inherited the inheritance of a weapons merchant as an 'illegitimate child', he had no connections, no power, only money before he died, the first thing I did was to hire a large number of bodyguards with money, a person's strength is weak, this step must be done, [kenshi character creation card] gives players a close to the identity of the 'secret treasure', and my secret treasure is the inexhaustible starting capital." ”

As he spoke, he took out his pipe from his bosom and put it to his mouth, snapped his fingers, and a bodyguard came over and lit it for him.

Blowing a puff of mist, Marjie continued: "In fact, my secret treasure is not only money, but it also turns out that the opportunities for rich people are endless, I found a picture in the inheritance of 'Father' and triggered a special mission. ”

He opened the panel and let Li Nuo see the mission:

【Side Quest: Legacy of the First Craftsman】

[Mission Details: After entering the steam age, cold weapons were eliminated in large numbers, but there was a craftsman who created a batch of special steam armor according to the principles of cold weapons and steam, in addition, he wrote his life's knowledge in a book, and only two people knew where this treasure was buried]

[Reward: XP 2000, Gold 2200, Steam Armament Blueprint*5, Mecha Mastery (Instant Mastery)]

"It's a terrible task." Li Nuo's eyes lit up as he looked at the panel: "The mecha is more malleable than the witcher and the sorceress if it is played." ”

[Do you take on friend tasks?] 】

Li Nuo heard the voice of the system and immediately chose to accept it.

Marger took a puff on his pipe: "I'm just showing you off, I've hired some detectives in the past two days, and found out the person who knows where the treasure is buried, he died last night, and I heard that when he died, it was like he was roasted by the sun." ”

"What a coincidence, System Bureau, right?" Li Nuo speculated.

Marje shook his head: "Police, detectives, all professionals can't find the cause of his death, and he has nothing at home, just an ordinary greasy middle-aged man, the clue is broken, I feel ...... There may be no one in the city who is qualified to take on this task. ”

Leno stopped and took off his sunglasses (those of Kanter, the Blade Warrior), revealing his amber pupils.

"This, are you qualified?" He asked.

"You've become a witcher...... Marjie was stunned for a moment, and then said, "...... Have you already done a pile with a sorceress? ”

"I haven't even seen the sorceress's hair, but Cha Bai has already come into contact with the sorceress in Coville." Li Nuo was around the corner, putting on sunglasses: "The deceased you said who knew the clues to the treasure is not cremated now, right?" ”

"In the morgue in the sewers." Marje looked around the street and said, "What do you think about the player's killing mission?" ”

Li Nuo said: "It has nothing to do with us, let them fight by themselves, there are only two endings, we will be liquidated by the security army in the city, or we will mend the knife when there are only a few people left." ”

In a city the size of Novi Gree, there are definitely more good things hidden than in the wild, and it's not worth it to give up exploring the city and focus on player killing.

Killing players can buy lives, but they can't buy sophisticated equipment and skills, and Li Nuo and Maljie have enough gold in their hands to worry about paying their monthly life renewal fee, and they can focus on exploring the world.

This is the dividend obtained by the scavenging exploration during the "Nier" period.

So, although curiosity kills cats, curiosity is also the first ladder of progress.

This is just a matter of reluctant daughter-in-law to be unable to get rid of Lao Wang.

Li Nuo told Marjie about his experience, including the matter of the Mirror Master, which made Marjie realize once again that the truth behind the Novigre player's killing mission was actually Li Nuo, who intentionally or unintentionally pitted a group of players.

After finishing speaking, Li Nuo wrote some things and put them in the backpack grid, applying for the backpack sharing function of "special friends".

About five minutes later.

On the other side of the sea.

Covell.

Cha Bai opened his backpack and took out the letter paper from Li Nuo.

[1. The blood of the ancients is hidden in the Holy See of the Sorceress in Covel, in a place where no one can touch, just pay attention to it at any time; 2. There is a very dangerous thing in Coville, I don't know what it is, but it may be very malicious to the player, Marje and I have already converged, and we will rush to Coville as soon as possible]

"It's still so concise." Chabai put the letter paper on the candlestick and burned it.

She was in the Sorceress's school of magic dormitory.

A few days ago, Cha Bai was imprisoned in the police station, she listened to Li Nuo's opinion, and showed a [Elementary Fireball Technique] at the police station, which was noticed by the sorceress of Covel and bailed out of the police station.

Because of her disability and natural control over magic, she was unusually promoted to the "Sorceress Academy" in Covelle.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

A woman dressed in a nun's garb walked in and said to her, "Your clothes are ready, come with me." ”

Cha Bai hummed and went out with her.

On the fifth day of her arrival in this world, she was not yet used to the way she lived with "people".

In other words, she is not used to changing from the identity of "Parasitic Leaf Force Artificial Human".

The nun carried an oil lamp and led her through the dimly lit corridor.

On the way, Cha Bai thought about the contents of Li Nuo's letter to her, and asked thoughtfully, "What is the most dangerous thing about Kewei?" ”

The nun was stunned, it was the first time she heard Cha Bai say so many words, and the usual way for Cha Bai to talk to others was to say words in a flash.

"Dangerous...... Probably a vampire. "After the outbreak of the Towson War thirty years ago, for some reason, the Shadow Elders came to Corville with a group of vampires, and we must always be on the lookout for those vampires hiding in the city, and we must ensure that innocent people are not allowed to approach the area where the Shadow Elders live. ”

"Shadow Elder......" Cha Bai thought of the main quest and asked, "Very strong?" ”

"If the Mirror Master doesn't exist in the account, then the strongest creature in the world is probably the Shadow Elder." It was a woman with a measuring tape who came out of a room and beckoned: "My name is Merry, and I will measure you." ”

In the fitting room, Merry wrapped a measuring tape around Chabai's waist and sighed in her heart: How do you maintain this figure......

"Can you tell me more about the danger of Covell?" Cha Bai asked suddenly.

"Covel...... The most dangerous thing is vampires, and in the past month, there have been even more bizarre vampire varieties, you don't need to delve into this, wait until you become a real warlock......" A magic bead on the measuring tape in Merry's hand suddenly shook: "......! ”

Cha Bai: "Huh? ”

Merry shook her head: "It's okay, you put away the new nun clothes." ”

After Cha Bai and the other nun left, Merry released the magic factor of Cha Bai extracted from the measuring tape, and after the test was completed, she sat in front of the laboratory table for a long time unable to calm down.

It wasn't until he came to his senses that he walked up to the telegraph and typed down a paragraph:

- We seem to have found a Source Warlock.

……

"This is it."

Maljay jumped with Leno from a sewer opening.

He lit the oil lamp and took off his hood.

When Li Nuo jumped down, the [weapon case] stuck outside the entrance, and it took a long time to get in.

Marjie asked, "I forgot to ask you, why do you have to carry a coffin around?" ”

"It's called a weapon magazine." Li Nuo explained weakly, then covered his nose and said, "Why are you going here?" ”

"If you run into players on the road, you will inevitably get into trouble, so I bought a map of all the roads in the city, including the underground area, and just follow me." Marje is consciously or unintentionally revealing that he is rich, and the fact is that he can save a lot of trouble when he is rich, just like reincarnation, as long as he votes for a rich family, your starting point is the end that others can't reach in eight lifetimes.

The sewers are cold, dark, and smelly, but many homeless people use this place as their last place to shelter from the elements.

Along the way, Marje gave some money to the homeless people he met.

In his words, you don't know which homeless man is the Sword Saint who is hidden in the city, what if a good person has a good reward?

At the end of the sewers, Maljie walked out with Lenovo.

Under a bridge hole, not far away there was a small and inconspicuous house, exposed between the sewers and the beams and pillars of the walls.

Above the bridge is the upper town of Novigre, where there is a lot of people and traffic, not far from the dock is the lower town, and there are workers unloading and carrying at the dock late at night, and there are a few poorly dressed ladies standing in front of the tent next to the garbage dump under the bridge, obviously the business in the lower city is not good, otherwise they should be working in the tent during the peak flow of people.

In front of the house stood a sheriff in steam armor.

Yes, steam armor, Li Nuo didn't expect to see this thing either.

"That small room is the Downtown Morgue." Marger pushed Li Nuo and said in the back: "The newly mastered steam technology of the Nilfgaard Empire, no surprise, if there is no armor, how can the army of this world resist a high-level monster like a vampire." ”

The two walked to the front of the house.

"Who?"

The sheriff raised his heavily armored arm, indicating that entry was forbidden.

"We are ......"

When Marjie was about to bribe with money, Li Nuo raised his hand to the sheriff and used the [Seal of Axie], and the other party's mental power was obviously not strong, and he immediately fell into a trance.

"No need to talk nonsense, let's go." Leno walked into the room under Marje's stunned gaze.

The house was stinking and littered with corpses on display.

There was only one "forensic doctor" wearing a respirator working here, and when they walked in, the forensic doctor didn't react, just turned around and said lightly: "There's nothing worth stealing here." ”

Li Nuo looked at the medical examiner, who smelled of decay and blood from years of contact with corpses.

"Don't get me wrong, we want to see the guy who died like a human did yesterday." Marje said.

The forensic doctor looked them up and down and pointed inside: "Bed No. 3, it's just a useless corpse, take it away if you like." ”

Li Nuo had already found the body, and he looked closer.

The corpse was dehydrated, and it looked like a living corpse, and it was completely impossible to see what it looked like before it died, but it could be seen that this guy's expression seemed to be very happy.

Li Nuo examined his head suspiciously, and took out something resembling yin hair from his mouth.

He frowned.

The name of a species came up in my head: "Female Daredevil." ”
