Lord of Mysteries: Curly-haired Baboon

v1 Chapter 103: Old age unknown

  After a brief inspection of the land he owns, Lucid came to the forest ranger house near the Hoy River.

  Here, there is a ranger hired by Newcastle.

  This is mainly to prevent other people from logging and hunting on these lands without authorization.

  According to the laws of the kingdom, on private land, logging and hunting are not allowed unless permission is obtained from the landlord.

  But because this piece of land is not too close to the current city of Tingen, it is also rarely visited by people on weekdays, so there is no need to arrange too many staff to look after it.

  After meeting with the forest ranger who looked a little worried and promised to continue to hire him, Lucid returned to the garden villa in Jinwutong District.

  Nothing happened all night. At the next afternoon, Lucid, in light casual clothes, set off again, and went with the housekeeper Anna and the personal maid Macarina, and planned to go to the forest ranger's house.

  The purpose of this trip is to give the forest rangers a new employment contract.

  It stands to reason, there is no need to bother her to go there in person, just send a servant there.

  But Lucid wanted to test his mastery of "Frost Lance", so that's why he came out of school this time.

  Soon, the carriage came to the forest ranger house on the Hoy River.

  Getting out of the car, Lucid faintly noticed something wrong.

   has a **** smell!

   approached, but saw that the door was open, and the room was messy and messy.

   Frowning, she stepped closer and looked closely.

  What catches the eye is a wooden house that has been turned over, with blood stains faintly visible.

  In addition, there are scarlet hairs that can be seen everywhere!

  The slender and curly red hair seems to have an inexplicable meaning, which is very strange.

  This could not help but remind him of Amelo’s words yesterday when he "played a **** and made a ghost":

   "Unknown!"

   took a breath, an inexplicable creepy feeling began to grow.

  Is Amelo’s "prophecy" really correct?

  Lucid didn’t believe it.

   paced, trying to distinguish some clues from the remaining odors around.

   But nothing was gained. The wind by the river erased all the suspicious smell.

   frowned and walked around the forest ranger's house, also without any clues.

   Her face changed slightly, and she hesitated.

  After weighing the pros and cons, the group decided to return to Tingen before making plans.

  All this is too weird, not like a normal crime.

  Everyone had some lingering fears, and they were speechless on the way back.

  ……

  Sitting on the carriage, Lucid frowned.

  There is no way to divination under the eyes of everyone.

  The situation on the scene is unknown, and rash actions are not advisable.

   "It would be nice if no one was around..."

  However, it is more important to keep your identity from being exposed than to find out this matter.

  Fortune telling or something, it’s better to enter school after returning home

   shook his head slightly, filled with doubts:

   "Something's wrong... There is no such incident in the secret world in memory..."

  I feel full of question marks.

   "Unknown red hair...the elderly forest ranger..."

  Is it because of the influence of Cthulhu, or because of some monsters? Or simply talk about the extraordinary out of control?

   "Tap..."

  The carriage slowly returned to the Jinwutong area. After instructing the maid Macarina to report the case to the Public Security Department, Lucid could not wait to get into the bedroom.

  I found the paper and pen, and wrote a line of divination awkwardly:

  "The disappearance of the forest ranger was affected by extraordinary factors."

  Somewhat eagerly, she took off the ruby ​​pendulum from her wrist, and after reciting it seven times, she opened her eyes.

"Um?"

  Unexpectedly, the ruby ​​pendant turns counterclockwise!

  This represents negation.

  The doubts in her mind continued to increase, she calculated:

  "Perhaps the forest ranger disappeared, and there is really no extraordinarily influenced by it? Or maybe there are even more extraordinary men who distort my divination results?"

   paced, feeling a little overwhelmed for a while.

  After a while, she gritted her teeth and planned to try to use dream divination to see the truth.

  Just when he lay down, Lucid seemed to have thought of something again. He got up and walked to the table and added a divination word on the paper:

  "Dream divination is safe..."

  After getting the affirmative answer, he started dream divination slightly relaxed.

  Everything began to blur, Lucid was half awake and half awake.

  In the distorted and illusory world, she saw a human-shaped red-haired monster and walked out of the forest ranger's house unhurriedly.

  As if it had a clear goal, it walked straight to the Hoy River on the side, and slowly disappeared into the billowing river Zheng

  Dream divination ends here.

  She opened her eyes at once and woke up from her dream.

"what is happening?"

  If there is a higher personality influence, then one's dream divination should not be so smooth.

   "Could it be that ordinary people did it?"

  Lucid was a little dazed, feeling as if he had been placed.

  Inexplicably, there was a feeling of a dead dog. After blinking, she started divination again.

  "The purpose of creating the disappearance of the "forest ranger"..."

  After repeating the chanting several times, she once again indulged her state and fell asleep.

  This time, in the hazy dream, two well-dressed men appeared.

  One of them is New Cullen himself, and the other is a strange middle-aged person whom Lucy has never met.

  The two talked, but Lucid in the dream couldn't hear it.

  She didn't understand the lip language, she couldn't know the specific content of their conversation, but it must be not a good thing.

  After the conversation, the two left one after another.

  But the pace when Newcastle left was obviously a bit weird, like he had hemorrhoids.

   slightly narrowed her eyes, she was thoughtful.

  This fully understands that the time of this conversation happened after I purchased the land ~lightnovelpub.net~ I touched my chin, and my impression of Newcastle became more and more unbearable.

  This lsp's covetous heart is immortal and no, but still embarrassing yourself with others?

   "It's too much!"

  Lucid turned and walked into the bathroom, and walked out comfortably after a while.

   Rubbed his forehead, feeling a little headache faintly.

  Tonight’s "spirituality" seems to be consumed a bit...

  However, after the bad breath, I feel more comfortable all over.

  Except for the buzzing brains.

   took a long breath, and couldn't help but wonder:

   "It doesn't make sense, why would Newcastle target me? Did he find a curse?"

  This is obviously more untenable.

  As her eyes rolled, she suddenly remembered what New Cullen had said to him before:

   "That thing!"

   Lucid didn't mind this at first, but now he can't help but think about it again.

   "It seems... there is still a big problem hidden here!"
