Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 497 The Butcher in the Rainy Night
Even Hadir, who was a little deep in the city, felt like he couldn't let go in the current environment. He could only lower his head and blush and shout to borrow it, and then dodge awkwardly in the hands of someone who didn't know whether he was a man or a woman. , it took a long time to reach the slightly narrow space behind the stairs.

This is the place where tasks are received, and it is in charge of an old demon warlock. However, judging from the mysterious potions and various bionic cylinders placed behind him, this person’s side job is quite rich, and it seems that he does a lot of work on weekdays. Help those middle-aged and elderly people who have unspeakable secrets.

"It's you young brats again." Old Bones, who had closed his eyes and was concentrating, heard the footsteps and was about to open his mouth to sell new products when he saw two young men with red faces and drawn swords looking around. He immediately curled his lips and didn't know where to turn. Turn out two greased casings and place on the table.

"Thirty copper coins, this allows brats like you to support two or three more breaths under those cannibalistic dancers. Cherish, reminisce, and be grateful." Old Bones said proudly as someone who has been through it. Said to the two rookies.

"We are here to take over the mission." Hadir said with a black line on his head, and then he took out a handful of copper coins without counting them and stuffed them into Old Bones' pocket, and took away the casings.

He glanced at Hadir with disdain, but the old man, who had never been young again, said nothing and took out a few thick books and asked the two of them to flip through them.

There are more tasks than expected, and the time span is not short. There are various tasks from a few years ago to today. However, although most of the tasks have been marked as completed, the death instructions and the number of failed tasks make Hardy I felt like I was sweating all over.

So I stopped looking at tasks with higher risks and decided to find a job as a cleaner to gain experience first.

Jinx, who said goodbye to her parents at this time, also came to the Wild Succubus Tavern, but she hesitated for a long time and did not dare to step into the strange smelling place in front of her. It even attracted a few men with malicious intentions.

Several people were walking like no one else, preparing to play a free friendly match, when they suddenly saw the mark of Devil's Valley on Jinx's body, so they took two steps together with a natural expression on their faces, walked into the alley next to them, and then ran away. run.

This is Devil's Valley's territory, and trying to target Devil's Valley members on the other side's territory is simply boring.

Although there was no contact between the two parties, Jinx still sensed the other party's malice, which prompted her to make up her mind and walk into the tavern.

The revealing clothes and bold movements made the curious and shy Jinx dare not raise her head and walked straight towards the location where she heard about it.

What's interesting is that in the tavern, Jinx is like holding up an invisible shield, surrounded by a blank circle. Not to mention the attendants, even the guests who are never dishonest, it's like pressing the pause button to keep her safe. I walked down the stairs without incident and met Hadir and Hammer.

"Although it's very faint, it feels unmistakable. It's a lord-level aura. It seems like there's a great person among this year's newcomers." The half-blood succubus dancer leader who just walked off the stage whispered to himself.

Jinx, who has not yet mastered her own power and is a rookie, does not know what this means, but the always sensitive half-blood succubus dancer foreman clearly knows from her bloodline memory what such an existence means once she grows up, so in her On cue, the tavern waiter isolated Jinx so that she would not be disturbed.

"Jinx!" Haldir was a little surprised to see Jinx who was energetic and looking better, but he still took the initiative to say hello.

"Hadir, Hammer, how have you been lately?" Although they had not gotten along for a short time, they were still newcomers to Devil Valley, so Jinx still greeted them politely.

Faced with Jinx's greeting, Hadir just smiled bitterly. Although Iron Hammer did not speak, not only did his exposed arms have abnormal skin color, but the over-developed muscles also looked abnormal. The problem can be seen from these, so Jinx was silent and did not even take the initiative to ask why the hunter brother was not there because she already knew the answer.

"You are also preparing to take on the mission?" Hadir couldn't let the scene cool down, so he asked. "Yes, the teacher suggested that I come here to complete some tasks and increase my experience." Jinx said with a smile, but she didn't know how envious and jealous Hadir was in her heart.

They are both teachers, but the teacher on the other side is serious and responsible, thinking about his apprentice at all times, while his teacher is stubborn, cold, arrogant, and self-absorbed in making decisions for him, trying to make him a tool that can be used.

But the more this happens, the more Hadir will not let go of the opportunity to curry favor with Jinx, because this is likely to be the key to him breaking the game.

Because of Jinx's participation, Hadir chose an investigation mission instead of the mission of cleaning up mutant rats in the sewers that he had wanted to take on before.

This was mainly because Jinx, as a woman, would definitely not like an environment like sewers, so in order to prevent the other party from rejecting her and being unable to form a team, Hadir chose this task very wisely.

Sure enough, after looking at two pages of the task bar, Jinx nodded and agreed to go with them.

Although the investigation mission does not require drilling into the sewer, it is more troublesome.

In a place where there is no monitoring, lack of supervision, and complex personnel, investigating any matter is time-consuming, laborious, and thankless, especially when they are investigating the latest horrific rumor, the Rainy Night Butcher.

For the Fog City, fog and rain are an inseparable whole. Sometimes a gust of wind blows, causing a burst of rain to fall in the foggy city with thick water vapor. Sometimes the rain is so heavy that people can be washed away, and sometimes it falls again before it completely falls. Melt into the mist.

In any case, rain is already a part of life in the foggy city, and a butcher who likes to kill passers-by on rainy nights is undoubtedly a destabilizing factor.

Fortunately, the opponent's range of activities is fixed within three streets, so they won't run around like headless flies.

The only problem is that there are only three of them, so they can't guard a street by themselves. Even a weak-minded Hammer wouldn't come up with such an idea.

So Hadir finally decided that they would patrol the middle street together and rush to the place where the accident happened after hearing the noise.

This is likely to miss the opportunity to catch the murderer, but for Hadir, safety is the most important thing.

What's more, observing the scene personally is one of the ways to find the murderer.

As for the possible casualties of passers-by during this period, even Jinx didn't care. After all, she was a child who grew up in the foggy city. A happy family didn't mean that she didn't know the dark side of this city.

Compared with the dark side of this city, death is just a small part. Things more terrifying than death often happen in this city.
