The Laws of Werewolf Hunting

"Why are you asking this too?"

Beside the stable, Pei Lun frowned at Hook's detectives.

He felt that he had walked a little too much today.

Rabbit Ace habitually folded his arms, opened and closed his lips imperceptibly, but his voice was no different from that of ordinary people: "We just think that the connection between that piece of land and the land we purchased may have greater economic benefits. .Wait. 'Also'? Who cares about that field but us?"

The innkeeper shook his head: "Mr. Bello, he doesn't care about this land, but he didn't mean to mention it when we were talking about business. The land you bought now, including the one around it, used to belong to my family after all. .was meant to mean it's not my property anymore, my great-grandfather sold it long ago. If it wasn't for that, I'd probably still have a nice house to live in."

The two generations of his great-grandfather and grandfather were all addicted to the bad habit of gambling, and the fiefs that the nobles counted on were also bet on the gambling table.

So all the fiefdoms disappeared in the hands of these two people, and what is interesting is that the reason why Pei Lun's grandfather was addicted to gambling was because he wanted to win back the land exported by his father, but he obviously overestimated it. own level.

The laws of the Kingdom of Dorne do not allow landless nobles to retain their titles, so the current Queen's great-grandfather Montemer V removed the surname and coat of arms that once symbolized dignity from the list of nobles in the Academy of Arms. go out.

Worst of all, new laws came into effect shortly after this event, allowing nobles to buy and sell land freely without restriction.

Pei Lun now also feels emotional from time to time, if the news of his ancestor's loss of fiefdom spread later, he probably wouldn't have to worry about his marriage now.

"Then do you know who owns that piece of land now?" Rabbit Ace asked.

The land he was talking about included a part of the river bank and swamp, and they believed that if they could also get this part, the local people of Gewo would have no place to threaten them in the future.

Although they don't have enough money to buy the land at present, they can apply for it.

Pei Lun didn't know what the detective was thinking, he just sighed, he was still thinking about his future marriage plan, and now he spoke weakly: "I don't know, maybe it's in the hands of a certain businessman, or maybe It was taken back by the king and given to other nobles. But I think he probably forgot that he has such a piece of land, otherwise he would bulldoze this piece of land, and open any factories to make more money than idling."

"Okay, so has the circus person been contacted?" The idler Robin Hood squeezed over, almost hooking Pei Lun on his shoulders. "Their tents and luggage are still on our property. Are these people coming back?"

Regarding this matter, Pei Lun was not very clear.

The disappearance of the circus performers has been discovered, causing a bit of panic at first, but it gets better when the leatherworker shows up.

Such a horrific injury could hardly have been caused by a human being, but it would have made a lot more sense if it had been done by that huge, pale, humanoid monster, said Clayton Bello, an antiques dealer and sheriff from the city. Mr.'s "robber conjecture" is self-defeating, because there are not two bad things, robbers and monsters, at the same time.

There is only one bad thing, and that is also a good thing. As for whether the people in the circus are alive or dead, most people don't care that much.

"I don't know, but the animal trainer's body is parked behind the church now, and you can drag their things there, so that when they come back to visit their companions, they can take their belongings along the way. "

Pei Lun gave suggestions, but they didn't seem to be accepted very much.

The detective with the disheveled hair and the detective whose trousers were tied up as high as the local man whispered for a while, and his expression was a harmless sneer.

The detectives didn't ask him that question for the sake of returning it to its rightful owner.

Rabbit Ace muddied the past vaguely: "Okay, we will consider doing this, um, let me ask curiously, what are your new tenants? They don't seem to be easy to deal with."

"I didn't ask, but they don't look like they will live here for a long time."

"How to say?"

"They look dusty, and they went to sleep after booking the room. I don't know how long they drove before last night, but they certainly don't want to waste time here. You can tell by the guns they carry. Waugh has no use for so many long rifles."

Pei Lun's thinking was consistent with what he said. If it was just for self-defense, no one would go out with such a big gun. A pistol is much more convenient and easier to maintain.There are so many long rifles in Rewo that have been slowly accumulated by generations, and the types and qualities can sort out the traces of the development of the times.

And the uniform type of guns in the hands of these new tenants proves that their identities are unusual.

He had received soldiers from Sasha City last month, and they gave him a similar feeling, but Pei Lun did not dare to conclude that these new tenants were soldiers, because the clothes on many of them did not fit, and they looked like they were from Snatched from civilians.

But as long as they haven't been proven to be robbers, Pei Lun has the right to earn their money.

"If you're curious, you can meet them yourself, but I don't guarantee that they won't feel offended."

Speaking of this, Pei Lun turned his head to listen to the sound. Behind the stables is the wall of the hotel's backyard. His savings are hidden near the warehouse. If those men want to do something bad, he can hear it here.

Ace rejected the suggestion. Seeing how little Pei Lun looked like, he didn't ask any more questions, because the boss didn't know anything.

After sending Pei Lun away, the detectives returned to the temporarily rented house to continue the discussion. They disagreed on whether to beware of these new gunmen.

It is obviously not common for a dozen gunmen with long rifles to come to Rewo. Although they have not seen those people with their own eyes, they believe that such an organization with extraordinary equipment can gather together. If these people did not leave from Sasha City Soldiers, then their identities are worthy of scrutiny.

Robin Hood spat, and then poured tea made from inferior tea into his cup.

"It's stupid, I went to bed very early yesterday, and I didn't see them coming at all."

"Who isn't? It's rare that it's not so bright at night." Kit passed the cup over, but Robin Hood ignored him.

After putting down the teapot, Robin Hood walked around the room with the teacup in his hand, and asked strangely, "Where did that kid Ian go? I don't think I saw him today, and he didn't come back last night."

"I just know he's going to church today." Rabbit Ace said, he peeled a piece of candy for himself, put it in his mouth, and leaned back comfortably on the back of the chair with his eyes closed.

"Anyway, there is no other job that needs him here. And after he heard about the monsters in the hotel, he became very enthusiastic, as if he wanted to make some contributions to the local people, so I simply gave him a vacation."

"His brother's body must have frightened him." Farmer Kit curled his lips and groped from his arms. He remembered that there were still a few homemade cigarettes left. "The monster who killed Shire is not here, and he is already dead. It is meaningless for him to do so. He is just doing white labor for the local people."

Robin Hood snorted, willing to say something nice for the little brother: "Kit, I bet you'd be worse off than him if you'd seen those dead bodies. Your peasant heart can't take that." screen."

Kit's hands froze in his arms, and he turned his head to look at him: "What did you see at that time?"

"When you went out to smoke, we were in charge of collecting the corpses." Robin Hood put down the cup and his face became serious: "Do you know how spiders eat?"

Kit's body trembled, he had already thought of a little picture.

"Of course I know, they use a special toxin to melt the meat of their prey, and keep the shell intact after drinking the broth."

"Then you should be able to imagine the consequences of using this method on humans, right?" Robin Hood asked him in a cold tone.

Kit stopped talking, and although Rabbit Ace still had his eyes closed, he couldn't hide the traces of eyelid strain.

"It would be wrong to say that those people left no remains at all, but those remains"

Robin Hood raised his hands and framed a circle the size of a human head: "It's probably only this big in total, even the bones have been melted a lot, and what can be preserved is basically hair of different colors, a whole piece of scalp, Fragments of teeth and finger bones, I guess these are the most perishable things on a human being. The church people there collected them, but they haven't buried them yet, probably to purify them with fire. I guess they don't want us to put them Take away the relics that have been infested with evil."

Ace sighed and straightened up: "Both Ian and I saw Charles' finger, which was the one that was cut off and then reconnected. There were still documents that were probably suicide notes, but they were also corroded. Mostly."

"It's a good thing I didn't go to see it at the time." Kit was just thankful.

Robin Hood shrugged: "So you should be able to understand Ian. If a person is very sad, then it is understandable for him to do anything out of line."

"Also, I think what Ian is doing so far is pretty normal."

"Priest Louis, please put down your gun. You are no match for me in terms of shooting skills."

Ian is almost stating a fact.

He showed no obvious signs of fatigue after a lot of play, and determination and grit honed it into a sharper instrument.

On the opposite side of him, Priest Louis leaned against the big tree and was panting, his blond hair clinging to his forehead because of sweat, but he was still focused on guarding against this foreigner who inexplicably chased him all night.
