My Summons Can Learn Skills Chapter 26: The tragic death of villagers for no reason
Three days later, Chen Gou came to the front of an adobe house with a gate only two meters wide in Panshi City.
Although it is still better than the slum house, it pales in comparison with the location of the Fayuan team.
After Chen Gou knocked on the door lightly, a young woman about seventeen or eighteen years old with tingles on her face showed a timid head from the crack of the door, with a questioning expression on her face.
Chen Gou politely said: "Is this the resident of the Longsong Team belonging to the left wing of the Abyss Knights?"
"Yes, are you..." The girl became more wary.
"Chen Gou, the new official member of the Long Song team." Chen Gou took out a silver mask and raised his voice.
After he was canonized as the Silver Knight, the previous bronze mask was taken back and replaced with this silver mask.
"Ah...it's Sir Knight, come in, you look so young." The girl quickly opened the door and invited him in happily.
"Where is Captain Xin Qi?"
When you come to a new environment, the first thing to do is naturally to worship the boss.
, they are fierce men with an awakening level of LV40 or higher. Even though they have just experienced a fiasco where all the players died in battle, they are still thinner than horses.
"The captain is..."
The girl sighed as she wanted to say something and stopped: "Oh! You can see it by yourself."
The yard is not big. In less than a minute, Chen Gou followed the girl to the backyard, only to see a middle-aged man leaning on the threshold drunk, with empty wine bottles next to him.
Chen Gou clenched a fist with his right hand and knocked on his left chest, saluting: "Captain, Chen Gou is here to report under the order of the Rock Division Headquarters of the Knights."
The man in the middle closed his eyes tightly, snoring in his nose, and did not react at all. A scar that penetrated the entire left half of his face crawled on his face like a centipede, looking shocking.
"Team member Chen Gou is here to report!" Chen Gou couldn't help increasing his voice, repeating loudly.
Xin Qi rolled over and turned his back **** to him, but still did not respond.
Chen Gou sighed helplessly: "How long has he been like this?"
"It has been like this since I was rescued."
The girl also sighed: "I'm really worried that the adults will continue to be decadent and can't cheer up. The other knights, especially the death of Anan, will hit him too much... they are lovers. , And Lord Anan is already pregnant, and originally planned to concentrate on training after completing the last task."
No wonder...
Chen Gou couldn't help feeling sympathy for the drunk man in front of him.
When a man has tears, he doesn't flick it lightly, just because he hasn't reached the point of sadness.
In the next half an hour, Chen Gou learned a lot about the Long Song Team from the girl.
The girl's name is Ayun. She is an orphan taken in by the Long Song team a few years ago. Later, she played the role of the life steward of the team.
has always helped the Long Song team to take care of things outside the battle in an orderly manner.
This time the Long Song team suffered a heavy blow and was beaten to the end. All the other servants left. Only she followed and took care of Xin Qi, who had become a useless person.
bang! Bang...
There was another knock on the door, and Ayun was about to open the door. Chen Gou stopped her and walked over by himself.
opened the door and saw that it was Dongli who was standing outside.
"Where's your sister?" Chen Gou glanced behind him, no one was there.
"My sister was temporarily called to accompany by a big man from the Holy City today. I will introduce you to you in a few days."
Chen Gou despised: "Is it true that in a few days, he will say that this big man fell in love with your sister and took her to the holy city?"
"Listen to you... it's not impossible." Dongli touched his chin, his eyes lighted.
Chen Gou: "Inferior!"
"Hehe..."
Dongli stepped forward and hooked his shoulders and said: "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer. That favor will definitely find a chance to return it to you."
"Hehe!"
Suddenly, the expressions on both faces converged at the same time, and an abyss knight came to the door on a horse.
"Abyss Knight Rock Division headquarters has an order, Longsong Team takes it!" The knight rode on his horse and shouted loudly.
It was the order of the branch headquarters. Chen Gou and Dongli didn't dare to be careless and hurried forward.
"Where is Xin Qi?" The knight held a rolled parchment in his hand, and did not directly give it to them.
"He..." Chen Gou didn't know what to say.
"Forget it, you can transfer it to him." The knight shook his head slightly, threw the sheepskin roll to Chen Gou, and then sighed and rode away.
"Captain, the mission is here!"
Chen Gou and Dongli returned to the yard, turned Xin Qi over, and tried to wake him up, but they almost fainted without a breath of sour alcohol.
"It looks like we can't count on it, so we can only rely on ourselves."
Chen Gou sighed again. He felt that he sighed more today than he had after crossing.
"Open it first."
Tongli took the sheepskin scroll, activated by mana and slowly unfolded.
[Task: Investigate and resolve the unexplained tragic death of villagers in Baishi Village. 】
[Difficulty: Two stars]
[Location: Baishi Village, thirty miles southeast of the outskirts of Panshi City. 】
[Description: Three days ago, I received a report from the mayor of Baishi Village that since a month ago, villagers in the village had died tragically at their homes for no reason. No injuries were found on their bodies, but their expressions were frightened, and they seemed to have encountered extreme horror. Things.
There was a folk hunting team who was hired to investigate, but nothing was found. Some people still died tragically for no reason. 】
[Proposal 1: The Ministry believes that it may be a vendetta case made by villagers by some special means, disguised as a demonic attack. 】
[Recommendation 2: Even if it is done by demons, it should be a low-strength existence, because the dead are civilians, and there is no record of attacks on the awakened. 】
[Suggestion 3: Investigate in the direction of unknown poison or soul attack. 】
[Reward: Investigate the cause of the incident and reward 50 merit points, and then reward 100 merit points for solving the entire crisis. There is no penalty for failure of this mission. 】
[Remarks: Based on the available information, this department temporarily assigns a two-star risk level, but the incident may have a higher risk level. Once the situation changes, it is allowed to evacuate in advance and report to this department. 】
[Deadline: Depart immediately, there will be results within one week. 】
Tongli carefully inspected the mission information twice and then muttered: "It seems that this is a training for us by the headquarters. If it is only two-star difficulty...We should be able to handle it too."
"This can only be done. I hope that when we come back, the captain will cheer up."
Chen Gou also knows that they have no other way. Men usually have two extreme situations after being hit hard.
is either extremely indifferent, doing everything possible to avenge, or being crushed, having no love for anything, and feeling helpless.
Unfortunately, their captain Xin Qi is the latter.
Usually in this situation, other than he figured it out, others can't help much.
Of course, Chen Gou and Dongli dare to perform tasks in the absence of the captain, and they are somewhat emboldened.
After all, they have all gone through the abyss test of entering the world of evil spirits. A two-star mission just around Rock City should not be in danger even if it is not completed.
Then the two said goodbye to Ayun and asked her to take good care of the captain, and then went to the Knights Headquarters to receive their armored weapons and horses.
Warhorses are two young Black Abyss horses, and they are also the most valuable "materials" distributed to them by the headquarters.
In addition, all the abyss knights can receive for free, only armors and weapons made of ordinary stainless steel.
If you want a law weapon, even the lowest bronze rank, you need to exchange it with merit points.
Of course, these stainless steel armors and weapons are just without law. In terms of strength and sharpness, they are definitely fine products.
Armor Chen Gou has the Deathwalker armor. He didn't need it. Instead of using a long sword as a weapon, he chose a scepter with an octagonal prism on the top.
As the saying goes, one inch is long and one inch is strong. As a summoner, he least likes being close by the enemy, so the larger the weapon's attack range, the better.
He can't play with bows and arrows, so he can only use this kind of long-handled hammer similar to a spear.
Half an hour later, amidst the speculation and awe of many civilians, two young knights rode out of the city gate on horses and plunged into the wilderness.
…………
Baishi Village is relatively large.
There are more than one hundred households~IndoMTL.com~four to five hundred people, and a small town can be built within a few years of development.
When Chen Gou and Dong Li Benz arrived not far from the entrance of the village, they saw a small group of people blocking the road leading to the village.
"The Wildfire Demon Hunting Group is pursuing evil spirits, and no one is allowed to approach..."
One of the brawny men with big waists shouted a warning from a distance, but how could Chen Gou and Dongli listen to his nonsense.
Dongli took the lead, without the slightest intention of slowing down. Riding on the armored Black Abyss horse, he ran into it fiercely.
Domineering and unreasonable.
"Abyss Knight!"
Including the brawny man, the people near the crossing exclaimed, flashing wildly to both sides, giving way to the passage.
"The Vatican sent the Abyssal Knights here. It seems that there is nothing wrong with us." A yellow-haired man beside the brawny looked at the knight's back and stamped his feet.
"That may be true. The Abyssal Cavaliers have always been all members of the team, and they only come with two people. It is very likely that they have just been formed...It is estimated that they are two newcomers who have just passed the abyss assessment.
The demons here are very weird, leaving no traces, inexperienced hunters, it is easy to suffer! "
The brawny man whispered, these folk demon hunting groups have always been able to pick up the leftovers and leftovers from the government. Some unruly people even think that they are not inferior to the knights of the three knights, and they are not convinced.
"The joke is a joke, but to be honest, I expect them to investigate the secret behind it clearly, what is at stake." Another person whispered.
Their wildfire hunting group has also been here for five or six days, but they haven't found any clues.
Not only are villagers still dying every day, but there are even signs of an increase in the number. The killer behind it seems to be provoking them.
