Chapter 336: Confrontation
Hualang Town, as its name suggests, is both a flower and a wave.
There are no mineral deposits near this coastal town, nor does it have a gateway to the abyss, and its location is of little strategic value.
The only pillar industry is the one-stop service in the red light district, and even the thriving hand-to-hand action movie deal has developed.
Although Canglan does not have a video tape or CD, the more convenient audio-visual crystal is the perfect alternative.
The audio-visual works produced in Hualang Town are rich and innovative, mainly with the appearance of the sea clan's kraken, which can greatly satisfy the curiosity of inland audiences, so the works sell well in dozens of cities in the mainland.
Hualang Town is located on the west coast of Hanhai, separated from Huadao by several sea areas the size of Xingluo Island.
Fortunately, although the distance was far away, the headquarters of the Abyss Knights sent a "special plane" to pick him up.
In order not to be obtrusive, he disembarked from the "Void Whale" a few hundred miles away from the coast of Hualang Town, transferred to an ordinary sea ship, and headed for his destination.
He was accompanied by a young abyss knight named Lou Fan, who was less than fifteen years old.
It was sent by the headquarters to introduce the situation to him and lead the way.
The two of them did not alarm anyone, and did not even inform the Abyss Knights who were still in the city, and after dressing up, they mixed in with the crowd entering the city and entered the famous "Wave Town" through the city gate.
It is said to be a "town", but in fact it is not smaller than an ordinary city, and there are nearly 100,000 registered residents in this town.
Counting the thousands of "tourists" who come every day, the number of people is even more, so it is also called "Lang City".
Lou Fan had obviously been here before he went to meet Chen Gou, and he was quite familiar with the situation in the town and the layout of the buildings.
took Chen Gou directly to a tavern facing the street, ordered a few dishes casually, and sat down by the window.
Eating is definitely not the main purpose, the reason why I chose to rest here temporarily is because a few dozen meters away diagonally can see the previous Abyss Knight Investigation Team, the station in the city.
An independent courtyard, the gate was open at this time, and there was a wooden coffin in front of the door in the front yard, which contained the corpse of the gold-level abyss knight.
According to tradition, the murderer must be killed before he can be buried in the ground.
There were also four or five young abyssal knights beside the coffin, their eyes gloomy and their faces full of helplessness.
Among them, there are the fat-headed girl and Wang Teng, a pair of wonderful.
Since they met and recognized each other at the Battle of the First Sun, these two people have a lot of feelings of seeing each other and cherishing each other.
So the contact became more frequent.
Although they belong to two different clans, they often act together.
In addition, their respective teams have been short of people, and after a long time, they seem to have become a team.
This time, it was the fat girl who first received this task, which she thought was very oily and watery, and the difficulty was not high, and then she brought Wang Teng along.
For a place like "Langcheng", Wang Teng has long been fascinated, how can there be a reason to refuse.
Although he has married the mermaid princess, he has always believed that spiritual loyalty is far more important than physical loyalty.
But who would have thought that it was originally a quiet process of investigation, but the whereabouts were inexplicably exposed the next day.
The old captain of Wang Teng's team was killed by a sneak attack when he went out alone to investigate.
Although they arrived in time, they only found the body, but failed to find the murderer.
They were also inexplicably met by the city guards, who "escorted" them to the city in the name of "protection", and since then, at least dozens of people have been staring at them at every moment.
Then the situation became the dilemma it is now.
The biggest problem is that they have been stared at to death, put on the bright side, and there are dozens of pairs of eyes staring at them before they go out, how can they investigate the truth and find the murderer?
This feels like a giant with infinite strength, but he is held in the air, and he can't use his strength, which is called a grievance.
But if it can't solve the problem, the anger of the top ten in the Abyss Early Sun List is just an impotent rage.
"Mother, our heel this time is planted. Wang Teng felt the gaze on his body and sighed helplessly.
"It's all my fault that I didn't teach my son to be humble and cautious at all times, and as a result, you have drifted over the past six months. ”
The fat girl also sighed, but she was naturally optimistic, but she quickly cheered up, and said in a deep voice: "But Dad, you are still young, and it is a good thing to suffer such a loss, but the old captain's revenge cannot be avenged!"
"What my mother taught, but it's not that my father said you, haven't you been a little carried away during this time? As for the old captain's hatred...... The headquarters will definitely not give up, it depends on who will be sent!"
Wang Teng muttered to himself, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.
At this point, it was no longer a small evil spirit, but a gladiatorial battle between two behemoths of the Holy See.
A single Bernard family naturally can't wrestle with the entire Abyss Knights.
But how can there be no intertwined relationship behind the platinum family?
The current situation is that if you can't get the evidence, even if the Knights Headquarters send the giants, it's useless.
Because the other party will also have a-for-tat faction of the same level......
So, evidence is the key to everything!
Chen Gou is eating "meatballs" with his head bored, which is the most prestigious delicacy in Langcheng.
It is made by deep-frying the balls of various male monsters and simmering them in broth for more than ten hours.
It is known as one of the foods that women like most about men.
Suddenly, the whole street seemed to explode, as if a giant was coming from afar.
This made Chen Gou couldn't help but be surprised, this kind of voice appeared in the city, there was only one possibility - iron horse!
Sure enough, a pair of elite horsemen galloped down from the other side of the street, wearing bronze helmets and silver armor, each holding a steel spear and sword, as if a torrent of steel was pouring down.
Moreover, their mounts were by no means idle, shaped like rams, but covered with scales, far taller than ordinary war horses.
When galloping, the four hooves stepped into the air, surrounding the black swirling air current, and even more empty on the floor, still making the sound of iron hooves hitting the stone slab.
Just a few dozen horses galloping like this, there is a shocking force like a landslide.
After Chen Gou used his candle pupils to check the attributes of this mount, he couldn't help but secretly envy himself.
This mount is called the Hellwind Demon Sheep, and it is rare to be born with the lowest rank, and a small percentage of them can reach fame as soon as they are born.
In the process of growing up, there is still a chance to improve the rank, so the bloodline talent of this clan is quite amazing.
Basically, as long as you are an adult, you can reach level 30 or 40, and then you will continue to grow...... Belongs to one of the top large army mounts.
It is precisely with the bonus of this mount that the Bernard Family's Prison Iron Cavalry ranks among the top ten of the Holy See's private guards in terms of comprehensive combat power ranking.
It can be seen that for a large number of territorial guards, and most of the time they engage in large-scale battles, it is very important to have a good race of law creatures as mounts.
One of the requirements for completing the silver-level quest of Chen Gou's main system is to subdue a race of monsters and ghosts suitable for the territory as a mount.
And the innate grade is at least rare, which is equivalent to benchmarking against the Berner family's Hell Wind Demon Sheep.
In the vicinity of Huadao, Chen Gou basically couldn't find a suitable target.
But he has a very favorite object in his heart - the zombie panda in the biochemical abyss!
With the Iron Eater True Bear, one skill is enough to place them among the top mounts.
The only thing to worry about is that even if these guys become zombies, they have not lost their "cuteness......
Chen Gou's thoughts were rushing, but his eyes kept looking at a carriage surrounded by dozens of iron horses.
The one pulling the cart was also a demon sheep, but his body was larger than the others, and he was snow-white and looked arrogant.
The carriage is made of agarwood, hung with beaded wall jade, engraved with the family crest of the Berner family, and through the curtain, you can vaguely see a man and a woman sitting inside.
The man was a young man in his twenties, playing with a white jade rhino horn in his hand.
The woman is a middle-aged beauty, dressed in plain white, with her eyes closed, and a snow-white civet in her arms.
The Iron Knight and the carriage both stopped in front of the gate of the Abyss Knights' station, and the order was forbidden, and the sound of hooves came to an abrupt halt in an instant, and there was not a single murmur.
"Madame, here we are. ”
The knight at the head was as majestic as a mountain, and after dismounting, he came to the carriage and whispered.
"Hmm. ”
There was a soft groan from inside the carriage, and then a snow-white hand lifted the curtain, and the beautiful woman took the young man's hand and stepped down from the carriage.
Lou Fan, who was sitting next to Chen Gou, saw the identities of the two at a glance, and said in a low voice: "This woman is Sang Lanxin, the daughter of the Sang family who married into the Berna family, and the one next to her is her only younger brother." ”
Chen Gou's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't say anything, just looked at it calmly.
The fat girl watched the beautiful woman walk in surrounded by a group of knights, and asked with a smile on her round face, "Madame is here but she can't sleep well at night, so she came to worship?"
Although this woman has a noble status, she has nothing to do with the Abyss Knights, so the fat girl even saves a polite salutation, and directly hides sarcasm in her words.
But correspondingly, Lady Sang is not bound by the Abyss Knights.
"Thank you little sister for your concern, but I slept well and ate well, are you disappointed?"
Mrs. Sang looks to be at most thirty years old, with a beautiful appearance and a graceful temperament, but her eyebrows are slanted and her temples are slanted, showing a bit of sharp taste.
"I'm not here to worship, I don't know each other...... Just a knight of the Golden Abyss, which round will I come to worship? ”
Mrs. Sang touched the cat in her hand, and said leisurely without slowness or happiness: "I am here to discuss with a few people on behalf of my father this time...... It won't help to continue like this, and I'm sure it's just an accident.
So, why don't I help you catch a murderer, and you go back with the murderer's head to get back to life. In addition, we will compensate the family of the Death Knight worth millions of crystals, or law items of the same value.
Now that your task has been completed and the steps have been completed, why not?"
"What do you mean by helping us catch a murderer?"
The fat girl smiled: "It means that if we promise, we can catch the murderer, and if we don't agree, we won't be caught, or do you say who is who?"
As for the so-called accidents and compensation, not only will they not accept it at all, but the headquarters of the Abyss Knights will not accept it either.
The most important thing now is face and majesty!
Mrs. Sang's temples were towering, with a white hosta on her head and a cloak on her body, and after listening to her words, she smiled meaningfully: "I didn't say such a thing, but if you want to think like this, little sister, I can't stop it, can I?"
"Madame, is she too confident?"
"You're too young. ”
Mrs. Sang shook her head slightly, and the corners of her mouth finally couldn't hide a smile:
"I know the Abyss Knights will definitely send someone to investigate, and he may even be in the city. It doesn't matter, you can check it out, but it will take up to half a month......
After half a month, the matter must be settled, and there are more unsolved cases in the Holy See, and this matter must be grasped all the time if it makes no sense. At that time, the promise I had just made was still valid, and it was our tribute to the Knights of the Abyss. ”
As soon as the words fell, she stroked the white cat and turned around, and her words and deeds had already told the fat girl and the others clearly...... You can't find out.
Wang Teng, who had been silent, suddenly smiled gloomily and said softly: "Madam, be careful of your step, you will inevitably encounter ghosts when you walk too much at night." ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Sang's younger brother, who had been silent, glanced at him coldly, but did not speak.
Because in his current capacity, he is not qualified to speak on such an occasion.
If it weren't for Mrs. Sang, he would have even taken the initiative to salute when he saw Wang Teng.
Mrs. Sang chuckled, shook her head, held the white cat in one hand and her brother's hand in the other, boarded the carriage and drove away.
With her age and status, she actually can't afford to fight with a few young people under the age of twenty, but the current situation is actually difficult for them......
From beginning to end, they didn't want to fight the Abyss Knights.
But the problem is that things have developed to this point, and the high-level officials of the Abyss Knights Headquarters refuse all communication and have a very tough attitude.
So this is the only way she can pass on her proposal.
When Mrs. Sang's carriage and the guard knight galloped past in front of the door, Chen Gou also wiped his mouth clean and said, "Let's go." ”
Lou Fan, who had been waiting for him, hurriedly got up and took him to the secret station that had been prepared long ago.
It is also an independent courtyard, but next to a small remote alley, and it is not big, so it is naturally not conspicuous.
After entering the courtyard where there were only two people, Lou Fan suppressed his fluctuating emotions and asked, "Where are you going to start?"
Obviously, no matter how young he is, he will only be a fifteen-year-old boy after all, as an abyssal knight...... There is already anger in my heart.
Chen Gou saw it in his eyes, and his mind couldn't help but flash the identity information of this kid.
In fact, being able to become a Knight of the Abyss at the age of fifteen, and being sent to contact him on such an important occasion, Lou Fu's identity is naturally extraordinary.
One of the two deputy leaders of the Abyss Knights, the Grand Commander of the entire left wing, is surnamed Lou!
However, this young man's tutor is really good, and Chen Gou has hardly found a bad fault with him along the way.
The whole person is a textbook-level template, and I don't know how to teach it.
Even if he was sent to do errands this time, he did not complain at all, and even did a very good job.
