Dream Hunting Game Chapter 29: The priest was killed
After Nord glanced at Fast with a strange look, he said like a normal person: "Ah, indeed, the teacher is quite disgusted with the content of my thesis. It may be that my starting point touched some taboos. However, I have studied it for a long time, and I have made some progress."
Fast thought to himself that he shouldn't have made such a mistake. He hadn't worshiped his teacher yet, yet he actually asked such a private question. Fortunately, Nord didn't say anything.
However, he was obviously interested in Nord's research, so he asked, "Taboo? It's not convenient for us to know the research direction you choose? Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it."
"Haha, it's not a very cryptic thing, I'm just studying the body structure of the Flyman and the possibility of further enhancing the hunter's physical fitness."
What Nord said made Fast confused.
Flyman is a monster that belongs to a single and has no attack power, but a group is very powerful. What is the direct relationship between the study of such creatures and the enhancement of the hunter's physical fitness?
Fast felt that things were not as simple as what the other party described, and with the wisdom of the teacher, he would not be furious because of this seemingly absurd research topic, so it should be that there are other tricks hidden in this research.
However, Fast didn't intend to continue asking. After all, going deeper might actually violate other people's privacy.
The two continued to move forward, and soon Fast smelled the unique smell of sandalwood at a fork in the road. Nord frowned, as if he was really disgusted with this smell.
The smell of sandalwood itself has a certain effect of driving away monsters. The priest lit the sandalwood mainly to drive away monsters near the key, so that Faster can find the key more easily.
Nod patted Fast's shoulder and pointed forward, "You go straight along this road, and you should be able to easily tell the direction from which the sandalwood is coming from. The road ahead is up to you. Let's go, if you come here next time, remember to find me, my research has also reached a critical moment recently, and I just need someone who knows how to communicate."
Fast nodded, feeling good about this senior who had never seen his face before, and agreed: "Well, I should come again soon, after all, the materials and props of the Flyman here are pretty good." .”
"Okay, then it's a deal."
Nord waved his hand, and his figure quickly hid in the dark sewer.
Fast did not continue to indulge in the special emotions brought about by the breakup. He galloped at full speed in the direction of the sandalwood. .
Soon he came to a corner, and the faint fire light from the sandalwood hanging from the drain on the ceiling guided him the way.
After fumbling around the sandalwood for a long while, Fast found a golden key——[Church Gate Key].
[Ding! Mission update! 】
After the key was found, the task prompt on the retina changed to "return to the priest as soon as possible".
After thinking for a while, Fast pulled the rope binding the sandalwood a few times, trying to contact the priest on the ground.
After a while, the voice of the priest came from the drain, and he shouted as loud as he could: "Ah, Mr. Hunter, have you found the key?"
Fast raised his head and said: "Well, I found it, I will rush back as soon as possible, you can find a safe place to stay first."
"Okay, then I put away the sandalwood."
Looking at the rope and sandalwood slowly rising up, Fast put the key into the hunter's bag and turned his head to leave.
At this moment, the rope suddenly fell, as if it had lost the strength to lift it up. Fast felt a little strange, and shouted to the drain: "Father, are you still on it?"
Waited for a while but no reply came.
Fast immediately felt that there was a problem. Could it be that something happened to the priest?
Then he heard the priest's voice, because it was a little far away, the voice was much lower than before, but with Fast's hearing, he was still able to distinguish the other party's words.
"Ah, my lord, why do you have time to come back to the city?"
"Wait, my lord... what are you going to do... Is there something I'm doing wrong?"
"Adult...Adult! Ah!"
The priest's voice was interrupted by a scream. The priest's words were preceded by a standard flattery, but he was shocked by the sudden change, and the situation that followed was obviously attacked.
Hearing the scream, Fast knew that the situation had changed. After cursing inwardly, he turned around and ran out of the sewer, regardless of the fly man he encountered on the road.
Everything was going very well, why did someone suddenly attack the priest?
Fast clearly felt that it was a person the priest knew, and this is great, the priest is in danger, so he still has to be charged with theft?
At this time, thoughts in his mind were numb. In order not to let himself think about it again, he buried himself in the road, trying to rush back to the priest as quickly as possible.
The time to go back was almost compressed by Fast to only half of the time when he came~IndoMTL.com~ It is a pity that there is only the dead body of the priest at the door of the church at this time.
Although the priest is dead, the mission reminder came immediately.
[Ding! The "Lost Key" side mission has been completed, and all rewards will be counted at the time of settlement]
The task is completed, but the priest is dead, which makes Fast feel somewhat anxious about gains and losses.
Before he had time to think about it, he casually glanced at the priest's death, which unexpectedly gave him a very familiar feeling.
Next, Fast squatted next to the priest's corpse to check the situation carefully, to see if he could get any clues from the corpse.
What he looked at first was the head of the old priest. At this time, the old priest opened his eyes wide, with an inconceivable expression flashing in his eyes. It was obvious that he was dying, and through a few words with him before, he could know who the other party was. The person the priest knew had a very neat cut in the neck, and it was obvious that his head was chopped off in an instant by an extremely sharp weapon.
After looking at the head, Fast began to inspect the torso. There was only one wound on the neck of the torso.
It took only a moment for Fast to think of a person in this city, whose identity was enough for the priest to call her an adult, and who possessed enough strength and matching sharp weapons.
It's just that Fast couldn't understand why the other party wanted to kill this priest?
Could it be that the priest has a lot of sins on him?
It seems that the answer to the mystery can only be found in the church, and he is bound to get the hanging ring!
Thinking of this, Fast took out the key, and he didn't care about the value of sin, so he opened the door of the church.
