v22 Chapter 4: arrogant cult

Pal couldn't stand Ah Wang's nagging and left. In fact, if it wasn't for Ah Miao's face, he probably had to teach Ah Wang a lesson.

brush!

The light curtain that enveloped the room could not stop Parr. He easily slashed it with a long blue-white sword, and then walked out slowly.

"What a failure!"

Awang looked at Pal's back and opened his mouth, then lowered his ears like a defeated dog, puffing out his cheeks and sulking: "Why not? Does he really care about what I said?"

After thinking about it, Ah Wang's mind is full of question marks.

Pal's information, Awang learned from the returning deputy head Charles and other waning moon knights. At first, he didn't care about it. It was not until he met Pal today that he temporarily became interested in soliciting.

Recalling that, Ah Wang still remembers when Deputy Captain Charles described Pal, that Pal was an apprentice of the former Knight of the Waning Moon John, a child who grew up in a small village, but his talent and strength were very Powerful, with silver-level strength at a young age.

Because of this, Ah Wang offered a series of tempting conditions to recruit Pal after being seen through the disguise.

It stands to reason that a person from an ordinary villager background has received such a promise from Princess Fenglang, and even if he is not grateful, he has to agree without hesitation!

But Pal doesn't. That's what makes Ah Wang most puzzled.

"It's really weird! And how does he behave like a child? Except when coaxing Miao..."

Ah Wang's curiosity arose, and at the same time, her low tail and ears became stiffer. She pulled off the animal tooth necklace, and after a flash of white light, she returned to its original shape.

Then the Princess Millie took out a mirror, looked at her beautiful face in the mirror, clenched her little fist and waved it, and said to herself, "I'm here to see what secrets you have! "

……

A sneeze!

"I always feel like I'm in trouble."

Par rubbed his nose, pushed the door open and returned to his room. Then he saw Ah Miao with his eyes closed playing with a small wooden sword. This is the norm these days.

Since the Juggernaut Remnant Soul Mind revealed her identity, she has not been secretive, and directly manipulated A Miao's body at night to practice swordsmanship that looks messy but contains unpredictable rules.

Parr observed it a few times, but even his ten-core processor couldn't remember this kind of swordsmanship, because on the surface it looked messy and changed every day.

During the day, Pal asked Ah Miao several times, but what he got was that Miao did not know, and Nian Ling did not teach Ah Miao any swordsmanship formulas or anything, so until now Ah Miao has not noticed anything wrong, she just knew it subconsciously. I am getting stronger day by day.

From this, it can be seen that Parr's careful thought of learning a secret swordsmanship of the Sword Saint through Ah Miao has been seen through by Nian Ling. What she is doing now is to let Ah Miao become proficient in this unknown swordsmanship. Perhaps there is also Parr. The secret guidance that you can't notice.

well!

Standing by and observing for a while, Parr sighed helplessly again, and without any gain, he lay down on the bed and started his daily practice.

……

As the third son of Duke Muhua, Xin Ye naturally lives in the central area of ​​Ronghua City. Since this kid returned to his room, he began to review the basic knowledge of potions, and he was full of energy and wanted to stay in the city. Three days later, he made a splash in the preliminary potionist competition, which made Princess Millie admire him.

Because of this, Xin Ye didn't even eat dinner, and told others not to disturb him, but a knock on the door suddenly sounded in the middle of the night.

bang bang bang!

呲...

Xin Ye, who was preparing the potion, shook his hand, and the amount of potion auxiliary materials in his hand was a little more. This unknown potion failed.

Disturbing a potionist to configure potions, and making his potion configuration fail, he definitely got the potionist's anger.

"Didn't you tell me? Don't disturb me!"

With a roar, Xin Ye angrily ran over to open the door, but after seeing the second brother with the best relationship with him outside the door, most of the anger in his heart subsided.

Xin Ye rubbed her dry eyes and complained, "Second brother, you..."

well!

Shaking his head and sighing, Xin Ye couldn't say anything harsh to his second brother, so he turned and asked, "Second brother, why are you here? Didn't you say you had something important to do before, didn't you come? "

"Isn't this the end of things?"

Lu Lin smiled and spread out his hands, then squeezed into the room, and unceremoniously threw himself on the bed, rolled over and raised Erlang's legs.

"Xiao Xin, I'm a little late. I haven't packed the other rooms, so I'll stay with you for one night."

"Casual."

Xin Ye rubbed his nose, he could smell a fresh **** smell in the air.

It is estimated that the second brother encountered a monster with short eyes on the way here.

This kind of thing is very common in the primeval forest, so Xin Ye didn't care too much. After closing the door, he ignored the sleeping green forest, and continued to practice the configuration of various potions and the handling of potion materials...

……

Darkness can hide sins, but the arrival of light often makes sins invisible.

Early the next morning, the half-elves who got up early in the northern district of Ronghua City found the bodies of several compatriots, and immediately called the security team of Ronghua City.

"Cult! It was definitely done by a cult."

The security team came to this answer when they saw the corpse for the first time.

The deceased was lying naked in the alley, with pieces of clothing scattered around. A complicated symbol was drawn on the ground with the blood of the deceased, but there was no special energy fluctuation around.

"It's a life cultist."

The members of the security team started to get busy, and finally came to this conclusion.

In fact, this conclusion is easy to draw. Let’s not say that the elf territory is the hardest hit area for the activities of life cultists, that is, the distorted patterns on the ground representing life, and the two obvious features of the deceased’s clothes being stripped are enough to judge. The perpetrator is a life cult.

The life cultists believe in the **** of life. When they do various evil activities such as sacrifices, they feel that the creatures such as sacrifices should not be dressed in worldly objects. After all, every life comes naked, and of course also needs to be naked. to go.

What we need to do now is to judge the seriousness of the matter, judge the strength of the perpetrator, and then pursue it.

"..."

The leader of the security team pondered for a moment, touched his chin and said, "It should be someone who has just fallen, not even an apprentice, so we didn't sense the energy fluctuations of the cultists last night."

"It makes sense."

The team leader's inference was unanimously agreed by everyone, so after collecting the bodies of several unfortunate deceased, they began to visit and investigate around the crime scene.

Until then, the members of the Church of the Neutral Light had not appeared, because there were no members of the Church of the Neutral Light in Ronghua City at all.

Speaking of which, it should be said that there is no such thing in the entire elf clan's territory.

Because for some unknown reason, after the rampant cults were suppressed a thousand years ago, the elves cut off contact with the Church of Neutral Light and did not allow church personnel to enter.

……

Of course, the investigation by the Ronghua City security team was fruitless. If the cult who committed the crime held a sacrificial ceremony or something, it would emit energy fluctuations, which would make it easier to find.

But the cult who committed the crime just killed and posed, and didn't go further, so the security team was blinded, and there was no gain in working around for a day, so they could only increase patrols in this area.

However, the situation that the security team never expected happened the next morning. There were also several dead people killed by cultists in the eastern district of Ronghua City. The way of death was exactly the same as that in the northern district yesterday.

"check!"

Because there is no evil energy involved, the security team continued to visit and investigate the surrounding area, and there was no too much fanfare to search.

After all, it will be the Potions Master Contest in two days. The number of people in Ronghua City is the largest in a year. Most of the security team's energy is focused on maintaining order.

The inaction of the security team made the murderer even more rampant.

On the second night, several security guards in charge of night patrols in the west district of Ronghua City disappeared. Their bodies were found in the alley after dawn, and they looked exactly the same as the deceased two days ago.

boom!

The captain of the Ronghua City security team slapped the table, his face so handsome that he was full of anger.

"This is bullying us! I really think we can't do anything about you? Come on..."

The shouting stopped suddenly, the captain of the security team thought of something and sighed helplessly.

well!

After that, there was silence for a while, and finally the security captain issued an order: "Stop this matter first, and wait until the preliminary round of the Potions Master Competition is over. We must ensure the smooth progress of the competition in the past few days. This is what the Lord of the City has specially ordered."

……

In the early morning of the fourth day, the entire Ronghua City seemed to wake up from a deep sleep in an instant. Most of the people put down their work for the day and planned to take advantage of the few days when the Potions Master Competition was held to take a good rest.

In the hotel near the Adventurer's Association, Pal, who had eaten breakfast, led Ah Miao out, and slowly followed the crowd on the street to the venue of the competition, the central square of Ronghua City~lightnovelpub.net~You two, etc. I. "

Ah Wang chased after him, walked to the other side of Pal, tilted his head and asked, "Are you going too?"

This question puzzled Ah Miao, but Pal and Ah Wang knew it well.

What Ah Wang meant was that since Parr had seen through her identity and plan, why did she still go to the competition?

"Why can't I go?"

Pal glanced at Ah Wang strangely, then said with a smile: "I heard that a hundred potions will be selected in the preliminary round, and each potion will receive 5,000 wind wolf gold coins, which are all free money! Is there any reason not to?"

After finishing speaking, Pal turned his head and asked A Miao, "A Miao, are you right?"

"Meow!"

A Miao nodded in agreement, and then counted how many delicious food five thousand gold coins could buy with her fingers.

"Uh……"

Seeing that the two of them looked like they were winning, Ah Wang didn't know what to say. As for Parr's knowledge of potions? She was in disbelief.

The reason is still Parr's age. Potions is a subject that takes time. It is undeniable that some talented people learn fast, but it is impossible to become a potionist who can pass the preliminary round of the potions competition at the age of ten, because at least It must be the level of a three-star potionist.

Not to mention that Parr has not been out of the village for a long time, maybe not even a year.

So Pal's appearance was made up by Ah Wang's brain into an ignorant idea. At the same time, he helped Pal pass the preliminaries, and the thought of making Pal grateful to her came to Ah Wang's mind again.

"Yes! That's it!"
