Chapter 26 The Tragic Death of Villagers for No Reason

Three days later, Chen Gou came to the door of an adobe house with a gate only two meters wide in Panshi City.

Although it is still better than the houses in the slums, it pales in comparison to the residence of the Fa Yuan team.

After Chen Gou knocked on the door lightly, a young woman about seventeen or eighteen years old with pockmarks on her face peeked out a timid head from the crack of the door with a questioning look on her face.

Chen Gou said politely, "Is this the residence of the Long Song Team, which belongs to the left wing of the Abyssal Knights?"

"Yes, may I ask who you are..." The girl became more vigilant.

"Chen Gou, the new official member of Team Changge." Chen Gou took out a silver mask and raised his voice.

After he was canonized as the Silver Knight, the previous bronze mask was withdrawn and replaced with this silver mask.

"Ah...it's Sir Knight, come in quickly, you look really 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.

He is a fierce man with an awakening level of LV40 or above. Even though he has just experienced a fiasco in which all his team members died in battle, he is still a skinny camel that is bigger than a horse.

"Captain, he..."

The girl hesitated to speak, and sighed: "Oh! You can see it yourself."

The yard was not big. In less than a minute, Chen Gou followed the girl to the backyard, and saw a middle-aged man leaning drunkenly on the threshold, surrounded by empty wine bottles.

Chen Gou clenched his right fist and knocked on his left chest, saluting, "Captain, Chen Gou is here to report under the order of the Panshi Branch Headquarters of the Knights."

The man in the middle closed his eyes tightly, snorted, and didn't respond at all. A scar running through the entire left half of his face crawled on his face like a centipede, which looked shocking.

"The team member Chen Gou came to report!" Chen Gou couldn't help but increase his voice and repeated loudly.

Xin Qi turned over and turned his backside to him, but there was still no response.

Chen Gou sighed helplessly, "How long has he been like this?"

"It's been like this since I was rescued."

The girl also sighed and said, "I'm really worried that my lord will continue to be depressed like this, and I won't be able to cheer up. The death of the other knight lords, especially Lord Anan, has dealt a great blow to him... They are lovers, and Ah Nan Master Nan is already pregnant, and originally planned to concentrate on cultivation after completing the last mission."

No wonder...

Chen Gou couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the drunk in front of him.

A man doesn't flick his tears easily, because he hasn't reached the sad place.

In the next half an hour, Chen Gou learned a lot of information about the Changge team from the girl.

The girl's name is Ayun, and she was an orphan taken in by the Changge team a few years ago. Later, she played the role of the team's life steward.

For a long time, he has helped the Changge team to take care of things outside of the battle in an orderly manner.

This time, the Changge team suffered heavy losses and was knocked down to the bronze. All the other servants left, but she followed them relentlessly, taking care of Xin Qi who was like a useless person.

boom! boom……

There was another knock on the door, and Ah Yun was about to open it, but Chen Gou stopped her and walked over by himself.

Opening the door, he saw Dong Li standing outside.

"Where's your sister?" Chen Gou glanced behind him, but there was no one there.

"My sister was temporarily called by a big man from the holy city to accompany her today. I will introduce you to each other in a few days."

Chen Gou said with contempt: "In a few days, will you say that this big man has taken a fancy to your sister, and then took her to the Holy City?"

"Listen to you...it's not impossible." Dong Li rubbed his chin, his eyes sparkled.

Chen Gou: "Damn!"

"hehe……"

Dong Li stepped forward and hooked his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer, and I will definitely find a chance to return the favor to you."

"hehe!"

Suddenly, the expressions on the faces of both of them were restrained at the same time, and an abyss knight came to the door riding a war horse.

"The headquarters of the Abyssal Knight Panshi branch has an order, and the Changsong team accepts the order!" The knight rode on his horse and shouted loudly.

Hearing that it was an order from the branch headquarters, Chen Gou and Dong Li didn't dare to be careless and hurried forward.

"Where's Xin Qi?" The knight held a scroll of parchment in his hand and didn't give it to them directly.

"He..." Chen Gou didn't know what to say.

"Forget it, you can hand it over to him." The knight shook his head lightly, threw the parchment to Chen Gou, then sighed and rode away.

"Captain, the headquarters is here for a mission!"

Chen Gou and Dong Li returned to the courtyard, turned Xin Qi over, and tried to wake him up, but they almost passed out from the sour smell of alcohol.

"It seems that there is no hope, we can only rely on ourselves."

Chen Gou sighed again, and he felt that he sighed more today than he put together after crossing.

"Open it first."

Dong Li took the sheepskin scroll and activated it with magic power to slowly unfold it.

[Task: Investigate and solve the tragic death of villagers in Baishi Village for no reason. 】

[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 head of Baishi Village that since a month ago, some villagers in this village have died tragically at home without any reason.

A non-governmental demon hunting team was hired to investigate, but found nothing, and some people still died tragically for no reason. 】

[Suggestion 1: The department believes that it may be a vendetta murder case by the villagers using some special means, disguised as a demon attack. 】

[Suggestion 2: Even if it is done by a demon, it should be a low-strength existence, because the dead are all civilians, and there is no record of the awakened being attacked. 】

[Suggestion 3: You can focus on investigating unknown poisons or soul attacks. 】

[Reward: 50 merit points will be rewarded for investigating the cause of the incident, and another 100 merit points will be rewarded for solving the entire crisis incident. There is no penalty for failure of this mission. 】

[Remarks: Based on the existing information, the headquarters temporarily set the danger level as two stars, but the incident may have a higher danger level. Once the situation changes, it is allowed to evacuate in advance and report to the headquarters. 】

[Deadline: Immediate departure, results within a week. 】

After carefully reviewing the task information twice, Dong Li pondered: "It seems that this is what the headquarters gave us to practice. If it's only two-star difficulty... the two of us should be able to handle it."

"It can only be like this. I hope that when we come back, the captain will have cheered up."

Chen Gou also knew that they had no other way. After a man was hit hard, there were usually two extreme situations.

Either be extremely indifferent and do everything in his power to get revenge, or be crushed and have nothing to love and never recover from a setback.

Unfortunately, their captain Xin Qi is the latter.

Usually in this case, other than him figuring it out, no one else can help him.

Of course, Chen Gou and Dong Li dared to carry out the mission without the captain's presence, so they had some confidence.

After all, they have all gone through the abyss assessment of entering the demon world. A two-star mission just around Panshi City should not be in any danger even if it cannot be completed.

Then the two bid farewell to Ayun, asked her to take good care of the captain, and then went to the knight headquarters to collect their armor weapons and horses.

The war horses are two young Heiyuan 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 are armor and weapons made of ordinary stainless steel.

If you want law weapons, even the lowest bronze rank, you need to exchange them with merit points.

Of course, these fine steel armors and weapons just don't have the power of law. In terms of strength and sharpness, they are absolutely high-quality goods.

Armor Chen Gou didn't need the Deathwalker armor. He didn't use a long sword as a weapon. Instead, he chose a long-handled hammer that looked like a scepter with an octagonal prism at the top.

As the saying goes, one inch is longer and one inch is stronger. As a summoner, he doesn't like to be approached by enemies the most, so the attack range of a weapon is naturally as large as possible.

He can't play with bows and arrows, so he can only use this kind of spear-like hammer.

Half an hour later, amidst the speculation and awe of many commoners, two young knights rode out of the city gate on steeds and plunged into the wilderness.

…………

Baishi Village is relatively a big village.

There are more than 100 households and 400 to 500 people in total. After a few years of development, a small town can be built.

When Chen Gou and Dong Li drove not far from the entrance of the village, they saw a small group of people blocking the road leading to the village.

"Wildfire Demon Hunting Squad is cleaning up demons, and no one is allowed to approach..."

One of the strong men with big arms and round waist shouted warnings from a distance, but how could Chen Gou and Dong Li listen to his nonsense.

Dong Li took the lead, without the slightest intention of slowing down, riding the armored Heiyuan warhorse, and slammed into it fiercely.

Overbearing and unreasonable.

"Abyssal Knight!"

Including the brawny man, everyone near the crossing exclaimed in unison, and immediately flashed wildly to both sides to make way for the passage.

"The abyssal knight sent by the Holy See is here, it seems that we have nothing to do." A yellow-haired man beside the strong man stomped his feet while watching the knight's back.

"Then maybe, the Abyss Knights team has always acted in unison, 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, without leaving any traces, inexperienced demon hunters are easy to suffer! "

The strong man said in a low voice, these folk demon hunting groups have always been able to pick up the leftovers left by the government, and some unruly people even think that they are no worse than the knights of the three major knight orders, and they are not convinced.

"It's a joke, but to be honest, I hope they can investigate the secrets behind it, and what is causing the trouble." Another person whispered.

The Wildfire Demon Hunt Squad 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 the number even shows signs of increasing. The killer behind them seems to be provoking them.
