Can you become stronger without paying money?

"In other words, although the problem is solved, in fact, we have gained nothing~"

Indeed, after thinking about it for the last time, I realized that there was really no practical gain.

However, at this moment, Fei, who had been trying to reduce her sense of existence just now, yelled out as if she suddenly thought of something.

"Father... wait, I remembered, my dad is in danger, please brother, please let me go back to my dad quickly!!!"...

Chapter 25 The End of the Night of the Dead ([-])

The current boss of White Windche "Grizzly" Potter, also known as the father in Fei's mouth, is nothing more than an insignificant role to Peruvian and the city guards behind him. Unexpectedly.

Fei is Potter's adopted daughter. That is to say, if Fei is captured and controlled as a scapegoat for spreading rumors, what will happen to Potter, the boss of the white windmill?

Judging from Fee's eagerness, the situation is definitely not good.

Only half an hour has passed since Fei released the control. She was still in a coma for more than ten minutes, and she has been in a daze since she woke up. Naturally, she immediately remembered that her father was in great danger.

"Oh, is the Grizzly in trouble?" Peruway replied, and immediately set off in the direction of the old town. Although Porter was just an insignificant role to Peruvian, after all It is because of him and Bai Fengche that a group of potential criminals in the old city can be controlled to a certain extent. If any accident happens to Potter or Bai Fengche, the old city will definitely be in chaos. A situation you don't want to see.

That's why he was in a hurry to confirm the situation. Safiri and Riel, who were carrying Fei behind their backs, exchanged glances, and followed Peruvi's footsteps together.

The old city is only a few streets away from the main city, and it didn't take much effort to reach the place after walking quickly, but when we arrived, we found that the place had become a mess.

For most of the people in Karot City, almost no one in the old city regards them as real people, and when the crisis broke out before, those wandering monsters were also running around, so naturally they would not let them go. Passing through the old city, the city guards guarding the old city have been dispatched for reinforcements because of the lack of manpower in the main city. Therefore, the problems in the old city can only be solved by the people in the old city.

Therefore, until half an hour ago, the wandering monsters dissipated on their own because the mastermind's magic stopped. The worst case for a member of staff is that they are only injured but not killed. Of course, the old city is much worse.

When someone dies, there will naturally be corresponding chaos. In addition, Bai Fengche, who has been secretly controlling the order of the old city, because the boss suddenly lost his voice, "Second Master" Fei has directly become the culprit of the city's broadcast...

... No matter how stupid a person is, he can read the situation now and know that there has been a major change in the white windmill. Therefore, those who have plans in their hearts naturally start to wait for the opportunity.

Among them, of course, is Scar Jack who had a relationship with Riel.

This is really a turn of events. During the day, Jack was severely beaten and humiliated. Now at night, he got a great opportunity. Taking advantage of the chaos of the night and the white windmill, he brought people to the door to find trouble. , the people of Baifengche dealt with the monster on the one hand, and Jack who stabbed him in the back on the other, the situation was naturally in a mess.

However, Jack is not with the monster, and the monster will not let him go alone, so soon the person Jack brought to stab the black knife is also entangled by the monster, and finally it becomes a fight where no one knows who is fighting. Whose messed up brawl.

And then the monster disappeared, these angry people of course didn't bother to care about 21, the guy on the opposite side was still stained with their own blood, should we shake hands with each other at this time, everyone is good friend?

...Fuck the rules, fuck it!

Once people lose their minds, the rules and other things will naturally be forgotten. They completely forget the biggest rules in the old city...

...As long as it's in the old city, if you guys bite dogs, you can hurt people, grab territory, and it doesn't matter if you cut off your limbs, goug your eyes, and cut your tongue. The only red line is——

- You can't kill!

However, now, obviously, not many people still care about this red line, because the other party came with the intention of killing, and there are no people who can manage the affairs and maintain the situation. Do you want to sit and wait for death?

Therefore, the casualties in the old city this night were surprisingly high, and... the vast majority of people died at the hands of humans.

Fortunately, as soon as Peruway arrived... he immediately calmed down the situation.

He didn't say anything, he just raised his hand and raised the sheathed long sword, aiming at the most violent place and swinging it out!

In an instant, the fierce wind turned into a deadly force. Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, whoever moved first was justified or not, all the people fighting in that area were swallowed up by the surging storm in an instant. There was no complete corpse to be seen, only a mass of bloody pieces of flesh that had been stirred up.

"Stop everything, this sentence... I won't say it a second time!"

OK, everyone who was beating in a mess just now immediately quieted down, watching the throbbing and twitching mass of meat, they didn't even dare to breathe out, and within a minute, the scene was brought under control.

"Hehe, this is really decisive~" Riel glanced around, and after confirming that these people should have been suppressed, he shrugged and headed towards the white windmill with Peruvian. At that moment, a man who had been hiding in the shadows got up and seemed to want to make a move.

Peruway's hand was already on the hilt of the sword, but Riel kicked up a broken brick beside him first, and the broken brick accurately hit the man's knee. Immediately, this man seemed to want to make some moves The person immediately screamed and fell to the ground immediately.

"Thank you for your help, you...take him away..." Peruvian moved his hand from the hilt of his sword, and at the same time as he ordered, the city guard behind him responded, and immediately stepped forward to drag the man out. It was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face and a gloomy complexion, but at the moment he was dragged out, his face was covered with ashes.

He is very clear that, as one of the chief culprits of the chaotic massacre in the old city this night, once he falls into the hands of the city guards, he will never return. Knowing this, his face is completely full of tears. Sluggish, as if he had forgotten to even think.

Just like the evaluation that Peruwei gave him before, this is a person who is not afraid of death until death is imminent. However, when death is imminent, he is really afraid. He is so afraid that he even loses the ability to think. Such an ugly Naturally, people didn't want to look more, and after they dragged him away, a group of people came to the mill of Baifengche.

Fei, who had regained some strength, simply jumped off Sapphire's back, and rushed towards the mill without saying a word. Some of the city guards' faces changed color, and they immediately raised their hands, and a magic crest appeared on the back of their hands. , however, was stopped by Peruwei on the side.

"Forget it, let her go, let's follow..."

The man obeyed the order and immediately bowed his head in response, dissipating the prepared magic in his hands, and after entering the mill, he found that the mill was also in a mess, with large splatters of blood and pieces of broken furniture everywhere.

However, no one was seen among them.

"Father!" However, Fei seemed to have discovered something, and rushed all the way to the corner of the mill, only to see her paw and pull on the ground twice, unexpectedly turning out the entrance to a secret passage.

"I see, there is a secret passage here~" Riel, who already knew it, deliberately pretended to be "suddenly enlightened". There was no unnecessary change in her expression. Obviously, although she saw the secret passage, she was not surprised, because she could understand the purpose of setting up the secret passage here.

A group of people went down the secret passage, and finally in the basement, they met the boss of White Windmill, Grizzly Potter.

At this moment, this bear-like man was sitting quietly against a wall of the secret room. There were two penetrating wounds on his chest, and he looked very horrifying. Fei's face turned pale immediately. She naturally knew that this was a fatal injury.

"It seems that Potter himself supported himself and hid in the secret room after being injured..."

Peruwei glanced at the bloodstains that formed a line on the ground, because the mill above was also covered with bloodstains, so other people did not follow the bloodstains to find the secret room.

"...It is reasonable to judge that with this degree of injury, once anyone with evil intentions sees it, they will not be able to escape the disaster of killing themselves. Only by hiding and going through the most chaotic situation can they save their lives. life."

Ruier followed up with the above statement, but Fei yelled out as if losing his mind.

"Save your life? What are you talking about analyzing the situation leisurely now! It's already become like this, how could Dad still..."

"No, there is a way..." Sapphire took two steps forward and interrupted Fei's words lightly, "Several hours should have passed since I was injured, it's such an amazing vitality, it's actually able to hold on like this, look It seems that there is some strong obsession supporting him."

And when everyone approached, the man seemed to feel the aura of a stranger, but he didn't have the strength to open his eyes anymore, he just opened and closed his mouth a few times, and whispered a name...

"...fee"

"..."

Okay, now we know what this guy's obsession is that has kept him alive, daughter control is really scary!

With a dark face, Sapphire raised her right hand and pressed it falsely, saying that it was a touching scene where the father was relying on missing his daughter to forcibly sustain the fatal injury. Why, when Mao thought of the combination of an uncle and a loli, he felt the painting style Is he wrong? !

Sapphire, who was in charge of saving people, thought so, while Riel, who was at the side, asked herself helplessly, and asked that question again...

(What was I thinking about when I was young?)

"The Rain of Alchemy..."

Sapphire chanted so softly, and immediately, a cloud of water-blue light condensed from her palm, and exploded into countless shining light spots with a bang, like raindrops, continuously dripping onto Potter's body.

As a result, the horrible looking wound actually started to stop bleeding, and it wasn't amazing, but it was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Spirituality?"

Among the people present, others were amazed at the power of this miraculous skill, only Peruwei frowned and said this word in a low voice.

Then he felt someone patting his shoulder, and saw Riel as soon as he turned his head.

"I know what you're thinking, but there's no problem with Safieli's identity, and if we really want to plot something wrong, there's no need to come out to help, and Safieli can't even risk exposing herself in front of you. Dangerous, come to save a person who has nothing to do with us..."

While Riel was speaking, Potter coughed heavily twice and opened his eyes...

Chapter 26 The End of the Night of the Dead ([-])

"Father, are you all right?"

Seeing that the person was awake, Fei immediately wanted to rush over to see what happened, but before she could take a step, she was grabbed by Safieli and slipped back by the collar.

"If you don't want something to happen to your dad, don't touch him until he can stand up on his own."

This time Fei didn't talk nonsense, she obediently said "Oh" and stopped talking obediently.

After waking up, Potter first took a hard look at his chest, and then showed that iconic smile of a gangster boss who seemed to be thinking about how to kill people and get money.

"Haha, it seems that my poor life has been picked up again."

Seeing that he seemed to have fully regained consciousness, Peruway immediately coughed lightly, "You should thank you for adopting a good daughter, without her, we probably haven't thought of you so quickly."

"Really?" Potter looked up at everyone present, then nodded in the direction of Riel and thanked him, "I think I should thank this little brother, he has warned me in advance this morning, thanks to his reminder, I didn't die in a dream, but, the commander of the city guards is such a big man, wouldn't he be here to accuse me?"

Seeing that he still had the strength to talk nonsense, Peruvian knew that Potter's life would definitely be saved, so naturally he could calm down and interrogate him directly.

"If I really want to accuse you, you don't talk to me like this now. I won't talk nonsense. Let me ask you, do you still remember who attacked you and kidnapped your adopted daughter?" What does a person look like?"

As an important witness who may have had direct contact with the prisoner, Potter's words are of course important, and he did not disappoint, successfully providing the first useful actual information about the shady scene so far.

"Things happened so fast, I couldn't see her face clearly, but I knew she was a woman, and she was not tall, probably about the same size as the little brother over there..." Potter seemed to want to reach out, but he lost too much blood. The whole person is still limp and has no strength, so he can only gesture to Riel with his eyes, "... In other words, the woman is wearing a work uniform of which company I don't know, and I can't see the rest clearly, but I can see the uniform on the uniform. A strange grass mark with three leaves."

As soon as these words came out, Sapphire was immediately taken aback.

"This is... the uniform of the bluebell?"

Sapphire spent the whole day lodging in the bellflower, so naturally she still remembered the uniform of the bellflower, and when she heard this, Peruwei was also unequivocal, and immediately gave instructions to the subordinates beside her.

"You guys, contact the people in the library right away and ask them to lead people to control the Bluebell Inn. After I solve the problem here, I will take people to investigate immediately."

The two immediately agreed to leave quickly, and then Peruvian turned his gaze back, "Apart from that, do you have any other information?"

Potter closed his eyes and shook his head, "No more, I was stabbed suddenly in the middle of the night when I was drowsy, how can I remember too many things, if my little brother reminded me that something might happen tonight, I didn't sleep too much If I die, that will be enough for me to go down to meet the child's mother."

This answer is reasonable, and of course Peruvian didn't say much, "Okay, then this is the case here, but your good daughter is in big trouble this time, and she can't stay in Karot City anymore. gone."

Hearing this sentence, Fei didn't have any unnecessary emotional fluctuations. It can be seen that she herself has figured out the cause and effect of it. To be honest, Peruvian didn't take her to blame, but it was very kind to drive people out. After all, Fei, as Bai Fengche's adopted daughter, was not clean at first, and she had enough criminal records to pass through the prison. If she didn't care about them before, it didn't mean that those criminal records didn't exist. The city guards had a clear account in their hands. If you really want to worry about it, Fei thinks that there is absolutely a dead end.

Therefore, Faye couldn't stay in Karot City anymore. However, she was a loli from the old city, and it didn't matter if she had no connections. Once she left Karot City, whether she could even guarantee basic food and clothing became a problem.

then……

------Dividing line------

It has been two days since the big news happened in Karot...

"The results of the investigation have come out..." In Riel's room, Sapphire sat around with Peruvian and Riel dressed in casual clothes like acquaintances, and Peruvian took a glass of bubble fragrance He took a sip of black tea silently.

"In the end, the shady person was indeed the person who belonged to the bellflower, but when our people controlled the bellflower, she had already left alone... Afterwards, we found a person who was left there hungry in the warehouse of the bellflower. The girl of three days, after verification, she is the victim impersonated by the 'prisoner' we tracked down at that time..."

To put it simply, the prisoner put down the unlucky waiter girl first, and then replaced her identity. During the day, he occupied the magpie's nest and got mixed up in Carlot City without anyone noticing. After the director got off After a whole incident, she patted her ass and left after she finished, leaving behind the unlucky girl whose identity was stolen, who was locked up in the warehouse for two days before being discovered.

"That warehouse is a backup warehouse for Campanula. Normally, the goods are counted once a week, so the person was not discovered in time. In short, it means..."

"The clue is broken again, right?"

"Yes... But, there should be another clue." Peruvian's eyes focused on Riel and Safieli, and Safili picked up the teacup and drank the lipstick tea.

"Understood, you should have investigated our previous whereabouts in the past two days, and you know that we just came from the forest of Danquan, so you should have deduced something along the way?"

"Yes..." Now that the attempt was exposed, Peruvian naturally didn't need to hide anything, "If I'm not mistaken, the shady scene that night was actually aimed at the two of you. something in it!"

This black story had already been broadcast throughout the city through Fei's mouth at that time, so it was naturally easy to deduce it.

"So, you don't intend to ask me to hand this over to the country?"

Riel's joke naturally made Peruwei dumbfounded, "No matter where, the ownerless things obtained by adventurers through adventure activities belong to the adventurers' spoils. This property is protected by the law of the principality. Yours, there is no problem with this, no one has the right to force you to hand over something, but this thing is of great importance, I hope to know what it is, so, can you satisfy my curiosity?"

As soon as Riel raised his hand, a puzzle-like piece of slate appeared in his hand, "If I'm not mistaken, this is what the shady wants. To be honest, I don't know what it is... "

Ruier said something nonsense without changing his face, while Peruwei looked at the shards of stone in Riel's hand seriously, but it was a pity to look at the expression...he didn't know what it was.

Riel thought to himself, what the hell is this thing created by the cooperation between the ancient elves and the "Ancient One" Macka? Now there are no more than [-] people in the whole continent who can recognize the origin of this thing, and at least half of them have already passed away. It's hard to call yourself a pure human being.

If Peruwe could see what it was, it wouldn't be a problem for Riel to give it to him on the spot. To put it bluntly, even Peruvian's ancestors might not have recognized it.

"Riel, I want to do business with you..." Peruwei looked at the shards of slate in Riel's hand seriously, "I want to pay for this, please make a price, you can carry this thing with you. It will cause trouble, so it’s more practical to exchange it for money, isn’t it?”

"Well, this proposal is indeed..." Riel pretended to touch his chin, as if he was thinking, but he immediately gave a refusal answer, "But my intuition as a treasure hunter tells me , This thing has a great value, too big to be measured by money, so I'm sorry, I don't sell it."

Treasure hunters are mostly a group of masters who want money and life, and Riel's behavior is not surprising. If he really thinks that the things in his hands are rare goods, then he will indeed not sell them to Peruvian.

After all, although Peruwei is the commander of the city guard, this is not a fat job that can make a lot of money. It is unlikely that he can come up with an offer that will satisfy the treasure hunter.

Naturally, this is Peruvi's idea, and Riel's idea is very simple...

...Damn it, this is an important plot mission item that needs to be placed in the valuables column of the backpack. Without it, even the plot can't be triggered, and it can't be sold even if it is a gold mountain.

However, in fact, according to the normal plot, this thing should have been taken out of the secret treasure after the two of Riel left Danquan, and passed it to the two of Riel through some kind of intersection. Then there is the next plot.

After all, Riel originally took away from the Forest of Danquan only a treasure chest held by an elite boss~

Therefore, after changing the original plot for start-up funds, Ruier carefully changed the plot back. Now that the important plot props are in hand, how could he dare to change hands?

"That's really a pity. There is no other way, so I can only wish you good luck. Speaking of which, you are about to leave Karot City, right?"

This is of course, of course, Sapphire has successfully fully integrated the power of the elves in the Forest of Alchemy in the past few days. ", which is a new skill learned by fusing the power of the elves obtained in the Forest of Danquan.

So in fact, Sapphire practiced with Potter, but the result was not bad, because Potter was indeed rescued, but there was a small problem, because Sapphire's kindness to Potter was saved by someone A little trouble got entangled.

Thinking of this, the bathroom door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a small figure rushed out.
