After finishing speaking, without waiting for other players to answer, Xiao Xianmiao said it himself:

"Do you still remember the human butler we captured during the Crocodile Mercenary Group mission?"

"Is that housekeeper also in this town?"

Li Mu was slightly startled.

It was he who asked in the first place, so he was quite impressed by this death-fearing butler.

"That's right, but... the way he looks now, I feel like you might not be able to recognize him."

As Xiao Xianmiao said, she threw a screenshot of the secret peeping into the chat group.

That was the scene of the thin guard talking to Anders.

The skinny guard had a flattering look on his face, while Anders had a very unpleasant look on his face.

However, the expression is secondary. What attracts players is Anders' current appearance.

This old butler is not as wealthy as he first saw him. Instead, he is as skinny as a skinny man, with a sallow complexion and dull hair. He looks like he has been on the run for several months.

The clothes he was wearing were far from the housekeeper's clothes he had been wearing before. Instead, he was wearing a villager's winter coat that didn't quite fit him.

"Here, why has this guy lost so much weight? I remember when I first saw him at the camp of the Crocodile Mercenary Group, he was as fat as a ball."

"It's really him...I almost can't recognize him."

"Why is he in this town?"

Looking at the surprised expressions of other players, Xiao Xianmiao smiled and continued to send messages in the chat channel:

"I asked about it. It seems that he was lost for almost two months and finally got back. That's why he was in this state. Well, I heard from the villagers that he came to the town earlier than us. For a while."

"Pfft... lost?"

"Isn't this too showy?"

Li Mu raised his eyebrows slightly:

"Were there many villagers traveling with him?"

"I made some insinuations, but no one else came back. Of the dozen or so people we let go that day, he was the only one who came back."

Xiao Xianmiao replied.

After reading the message she sent, Cuckoo frowned:

"Others? In other words...Merrell robbed this village in the first place?"

"Ahem... it was a purchase, um... a forced purchase, but it seems that the people who were forced to buy were not the villagers. The villagers were just caught as coolies. Merrill directly forcibly bought a nearby property of the human count... …”

"In its words, you can make more money by trading with nobles, but you can't make any money by trading with those poor people..."

Xiao Xianmiao explained a little weirdly.

Cuckoo bird:......

"I was thinking, aren't we going to Maple Leaf City? This guy who is afraid of death is the earl butler of Maple Leaf City, so he happens to be on the way! And... the reason why the guard who received us is going to the city tomorrow seems to be Just to **** him back."

"So...I think we can take a road trip and see if we can follow the butler's line to connect with the nobles of Maple Leaf City or the auction chamber of commerce..."

Xiao Xianmiao said.

After hearing her words, the players looked moved:

"This is a good idea!"

"Yes! I remember when I first interrogated this guy, he seemed to know a lot, and I can definitely succeed by using his lead!"

However, some players are hesitant:

"But the question is...how to gain his trust, and...will he recognize our identity?"

"He didn't recognize us."

Xiao Xianmiao shook her head and continued:

"Just now he seemed to be asking the guards about our whereabouts! I just don't know why he didn't come over in person to ask us the details..."

"I think it was probably before dawn when we raided that day. When we finally defeated the mercenary group, everyone's faces were covered in blood again. They couldn't see clearly at first, but now they all changed slightly. It’s because of our appearance that he never recognized us..."

"By the way, he didn't recognize our carriage, which shows that our transformation is still very effective."

Xiao Xianmiao expressed his judgment.

After listening to Xiao Xianmiao's words, the players also nodded.

That makes sense.

However, after listening to Xiao Xianmiao's words, Ben Leng frowned slightly.

He pondered for a moment and suddenly asked:

"He's asking about us?"

"Yeah, I saw it with my own eyes."

Xiao Xianmiao nodded.

Ben Leng’s frown deepened.

Seeing him like this, Li Mu's heart moved slightly:

"What's the matter, Brother Bento, is there a problem?"

Ben Lian nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:

"It feels like...he is hiding."

"Hide?"

Other players looked confused.

Li Mu opened his mouth and was about to ask something when he saw the lunch box and suddenly looked towards Demacia:

"Get out the clothes."

"What clothes?"

Demacia was slightly startled.

"You picked it up."

Ben Lian said.

Demacia suddenly realized.

[Reading Welfare] Follow the public account [Book Friends Base Camp] and get cash/coins for reading every day!

He slapped his head, and then pulled out a shabby piece of blood-stained clothes from the accompanying car, muttering as he pulled it out:

"I almost forgot about this... I thought it was some plot item, but it turned out that it was all in the village and there was nothing. I was about to throw it away..."

However, as he spoke, he stopped talking.

Because he suddenly saw the lunch box and Li Mu's expressions gradually became serious.

Even the fried tomatoes squinted slightly.

They all stared at the clothes in Demacia's hands, thoughtfully.

"What...what happened?"

Demacia suddenly felt a little guilty:

"I didn't hide the treasure this time. Really. If you don't believe me, look at this clothes. I haven't looked through these clothes yet...and these are not mercenary clothes, and they don't have any oil or water..."

Li Mu:......

Xiao Xianmiao:......

Cuckoo bird:......

Fried tomatoes:...

"What's the mess?"

Li Mu couldn’t laugh or cry.

He examined the clothes in Demacia's hands for a while and sighed slightly:

"Demacia, don't you think these clothes look familiar if you look closely?"

"Looks familiar?"

Demacia was slightly startled.

He picked up the clothes and looked at them carefully, and suddenly felt a little surprised:

"This...is a bit like the clothes of the humans who were captured by the black dragon."

With a serious look in his eyes, Ben Lian took the clothes from Demacia's hands and unfolded them...

This is a rather shabby piece of clothing, with the center stained black by blood.

After unfolding his clothes, Ben Lunch’s expression became even more serious.

He pointed to the blood stains on his clothes and said:

"The wound is on the back."

"This is a stab in the back."

After hearing his words, Li Mu’s expression moved slightly:

"You mean... the housekeeper did it?"

Ben Leng glanced at him:

"High probability."

Cuckoo Bird’s expression also changed.

She frowned and thought, and suddenly realized:

"It's very possible...he is the only one walking in this direction with us along the way."

"But if it was really him, why did he kill those who escaped with him? There is no benefit..."

Demacia is a bit strange.

"It's probably related to the battle with the Crocodile Mercenary Group. I'm afraid he's trying to silence him, or he's got some agenda in mind... maybe it's related to us."

Li Mu said.

After speaking, Li Mu’s eyes flashed:

"I heard from the returning Elf NPC that the border lords of the Holy Mania Empire, like the orcs, also relied on the elves to make their fortunes."

"Not only that, he is powerful, and his high-end combat power below legend is even more powerful than that of the orcs... If the orcs were not blessed by the true god, maybe he alone could wipe out several of the orcs with just him as a border uncle. Ten thousand troops."

"When we attacked the crocodile mercenary group, the number of thousands of people, and the black dragon Myriel, may be threats or prey in his eyes..."

After hearing his words, Demacia looked strange:

"Brother Mu, you mean that the housekeeper is trying to silence him and then plans to take credit for our information?"

"Very possible."

"But if he really did it, what was he doing with these clothes? Didn't he expose himself and kill someone?"

Demacia is still a little confused.

However, he soon received the eye-rolls from Cuckoo Bird and Li Mu:

"What season is it now?"

"Winter?"

Demacia was stunned.

His eyes widened and he slapped his thigh:

"That's it! His butler's uniform was so thin that it didn't look like he was keeping warm. He brought these clothes with him just to keep warm. When he was about to come back, he threw the clothes away out of guilt, but he didn't expect to be picked up by me. Got it!"

Li Mu nodded slightly and said at the same time:

"None of those dozen people came back."

Demacia frowned:

"Brother Mu, you mean that housekeeper killed everyone else? Just him? That timid guy was so scared by us that he peed his pants!"

"Is that because we are afraid that our numbers are overwhelming, what if we are replaced by a dozen ordinary NPCs who are not even professionals?"

Xiao Xianmiao asked rhetorically.

Demacia was speechless for a moment.

Li Mu thought for a while and said:

"This housekeeper...has a problem."

"Let's be careful with him. We can consider traveling together, but we must be cautious."

"No...this time, it's best to go with him, maybe you can figure out what he is doing..."

"If we can't figure it out, it's another hidden plot."
