Under the northern city walls

“What’s going on?” Anna walked up.

She saw a dead body lying in front of a group of policemen.

“Director. Two hours ago, someone reported that there was a sound at the city gate, and we sent someone down to see it. As a result, the creature was attacked and two officers were injured.

But this beast that we had never seen before was also killed by us. A sheriff reported.

“How are the two injured officers?” Anna asked while observing the corpses of the beasts on the ground.

“I have been sent to the hospital for treatment, but they are not fatal injuries, they have been stabilized.” The sheriff said.

Anna kicked the beast and looked at its head.

She frowned: “How does this beast look like a dog, but it doesn’t look like it?” ”

“Yes, we are also wondering about 693. This beast has never been seen at all, and this is not the first case…” the sheriff said back, his eyes a little evasive.

“Isn’t it the first case, what’s going on?” Anna questioned the sheriff.

“Which… In fact, there have been three cases of such things before. The first case was 10 days ago, during a night patrol.

The police officers patrolling the city wall heard something rubbing against the city wall under the city wall, and took a torch to shine like some wild beast. Because it was too dark at that time, they did not dare to go down to look, so they threw the burning oil and water down, and directly burned the beast to death.

The second case was a week ago, five kilometers outside the northern city wall, near the Redwood Strait, the patrolling police force was attacked by a similar beast, the police force injured the beast, but the beast jumped directly into the strait and did not find the body.

The third case was three days ago, this time it was not our police officers who encountered, it was an elven man wandering outside, happened to hunt such a beast that he had never seen before, and reported it to us.

Then…… Then…… We didn’t take it seriously either, until this time… I felt as if something was wrong. The sheriff swallowed.

Anna stepped forward directly, grabbed the sheriff by the collar and asked: “Since you are still the sheriff in charge of the northern wall area, do you know that your behavior of not reporting like this is very derelict in your duties!” ”

“I… I knew that at the time I . It’s just some beast attack. The sheriff muttered softly.

“Let me ask you, what beast would run out to hunt in the winter, and dare to attack such a high wall?” Anna pointed at the sheriff.

The sheriff bowed his head: “Yes… It was my dereliction of duty. ”

Anna exhaled: “I know this, your salary this month will be halved, and write me another thousand words of review!” This quarter’s subsidy is removed. ”

The sheriff had a bitter face.

“How? You don’t want to? Then you can simply resign. Anna stared at the sheriff.

“Didn’t… No, I do, I accept the penalty. The sheriff immediately squeezed out a smile.

How could he be willing to resign, but he finally became this sheriff, you must know that now in the entire border town, the police are the same hot profession as civil servants.

The monthly salary is the highest, and if you were originally a slave and performed well during your employment, you can also reduce the number of hours.

This also makes it easier to become a full citizen of a border town later!

There is also a certain amount of subsidies every month!

The family is looking forward to his work to support, and if he is fired at this time, it is estimated that his wife will be separated from him.

“The patrol intensity of the northern city wall has doubled during this time, and the post has been increased by three shifts in the evening.” Anna said solemnly.

“Yes.” The sheriff straightened up and saluted.

“Arrange a few people to take this corpse with me to the castle.” Anna said and turned to leave.

The sheriff breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, he took off his hat and patted the snow on it.

He saw the eyes of the police officers around him: “Look at anything, let me go back to my post.” From today onwards, cheer me up and report to me if there is any wind! ”

“Yes!” The officer’s voice answered loudly.

……

castle

“This is what you’re going to show me?” Jon pinched his nose and frowned as he looked at the corpse that was beginning to corrode in front of him.

“Yes. This body was found by the police officers of the northern city wall, and I just asked several experienced hunters and adventurers in the border town to take a look, and they have never seen such a beast, or a monster. Anna said.

Jon crouched down and looked at the disgusting corpse.

“It’s only been a few days? Just rotting so badly? ”

“This is a corpse killed in two and a half hours, which was not the case when I saw it before, and this is really decaying quickly. So I doubt there’s any danger in that. Just inform Prince Jon. Anna said.

Jon nodded: “Yes, this is indeed suspicious.” You go and call Princess Phyllis, she is a princess of the elven race, she must be well-informed. Then invite the parties in the previous three cases to interrogate the situation at that time. ”

“Yes.” _
