Chapter 271: Crossing
Shortly after lunch time, Panda and the others returned to the Adventurers' Association with the corpse of the murder painter wrapped in canvas.
"We brought the guy back," Panda said, "but he's dead."
"If you die, you will die. The murderer will die. It's fair and reasonable." The one-legged president said indifferently. All right. Bring it here, we still have to give it to the sheriff."
"No, I think you should take a look at this corpse first." Panda smiled and said, "It looks very strange and abnormal."
The two staff members of the Adventurer's Association were suddenly curious. Under their gaze, Erwin opened the rolled canvas to reveal the corpse inside.
"My God!"
"What monster is this?"
These two people are old rivers and lakes. Although the painter's body is ferocious, it does not make them really afraid. It's just that they never imagined that a big living person would become like this.
They spent a lot of time checking, but all they could tell was that this guy was a corpse—this is nonsense—and, it was a corpse that had been dead for a long time, and had even begun to dry up. .
The sheriff was soon invited to the association, along with the hotel owner and two professional autopsy experts.
A group of people studied around the weird corpse for a long time, and it was only at night that they came to the final conclusion.
This corpse is indeed the painter who killed the hotel attendant and escaped.
It's just that his situation is very problematic. There are undead magic and blasphemous magic left on the body. If there is no accident, this guy should have triggered some evil blasphemous ritual and transformed himself into a undead monster.
But what is puzzling is that when he escaped from the city, he was not like this.
Did he use magic to cover up his real body? Or did he complete the final transformation on the way to escape? This is unknown.
Panda and his apprentices have already unified their tone in advance, and they all say "when we catch up with him, he is like this", and also emphasizes his strange method of turning five fingers into flying weapons, whistling to and fro that cannot be prevented, listen. The investigator's eyelids twitched again and again, and the few city defense soldiers who came to be witnesses even turned pale, secretly glad they didn't try to stop him in the morning.
In their opinion, these adventurers were lucky, and when they caught up with the murderer, the other party was almost exhausted, so they took advantage of it. If the fight started when he left the city, the murderer would be in a good condition at the time, and it would be impossible not to kill ten or eight people.
Although they want to make meritorious deeds, they don't want to die!
The sheriff was very disapproving. He squinted at Erwin, and felt that such a poor boy would not have much ability. The murderer couldn't even kill this red-haired boy, and his ability was very limited. It's a pity that this guy didn't make trouble when he went out of the city, otherwise, the credit for this game would be his own, how beautiful!
At present, the situation in the entire Western Continent is generally stable. The forces of the undead, demons and other factions are still hidden in the dark. Once exposed, they will often be hit head on. Unless they go deep into the wild, they have a place - the harsh living environment makes the barbarians do not care about evil or goodness at all. For them, survival is the first priority, which makes them famous. Too bad, even though it's mostly not harmful, it's often shunned by people.
This painter who murdered and escaped obviously took refuge in the dark forces, and the "Novice on the Road" adventure team was able to kill him, but a lot of credit!
The sheriff's eyes were a little too obvious, not to mention the panda, even Erwin himself noticed it. He frowned several times, but in the end he couldn't help it, took a deep breath, and a faint white light rose from his body.
This layer of white light is not strong, it just covers his whole body evenly, but if you look closely, you can see that there is some faint golden color in the white light - the white light is the fighting spirit that Erwin has cultivated himself, and the light golden color is When he studied with pandas, he realized and mastered a little divine power. His current route is almost a branch towards warriors, similar to the direction of the "Holy Guard" of the paladins.
The sheriff is naturally a know-it-all. Seeing the light on his body, his complexion suddenly changed. All the previous small glances were put away and replaced with a little shame and apology.
Of course he wasn't afraid of Erwin. As one of the few masters in Pollock City, he not only mastered Dou Qi, but the intensity of Dou Qi was far higher than that of Erwin. A warrior like Erwin can't hold ten or eight moves in front of him.
However, Erwin was only Panda's apprentice, and the four of them joined forces to kill the painter who murdered and escaped!
... In order to cover up, Panda and the others reported that "the four teamed up to kill the murderer".
If it were the sheriff himself, even if four adventurers like Erwin rushed forward, he would have to avoid the edge for a while. Not to mention that their master is definitely stronger than them, and the villain who can be killed by the four of them together, in a one-on-one situation, the sheriff himself may not have much chance of winning.
If it is replaced by a situation where a sudden conflict is caught off guard, I am afraid that he himself is at risk of dying.
Thinking of this, he was no longer jealous, but raised the idea of making friends with these people.
The strength of this group of adventurers can only be said to be not bad, but the luck is really good. Befriending people with good luck is always profitable.
So when they left, he specially stayed, had a few polite words with Panda and the others, and gave Erwin a steel sword.
This sword is not the one before Erwin, but is made of steel produced by dwarves, which is very strong. If you put it in the store for sale, you will need at least fifty or sixty gold coins to buy it.
This gift is really rich, which surprised Erwin and refused to accept it. In the end, the sheriff changed his words, saying that the sword was sponsored by the adventure team, and he was forced to accept it after paying them after they made a fortune.
"He's a good guy." Looking at his disappearing figure, Erwin said, "I thought he was stingy before."
"He who is stingy and he who is generous are both him," Panda said. "He was stingy before because he felt that we robbed him of the opportunity to make contributions. Now being generous, he thinks we are worthy of friendship. The two are not contradictory."
He stared at the sheriff who had walked away on the street and couldn't help sighing.
"This person...if there is no accident, he will definitely be very promising!"
Yes, if nothing else, this man will be very promising.
When he introduced himself just now, Panda had seen his name and his template.
His name is Deca Ron and he is currently a blue card.
The name is very common, and the blue card is not too exaggerated, but when he heard his name and saw his template color, Panda couldn't help but think of a person.
The man didn't know if his surname was Ron or Ron. He was also a knight. He had no name during his lifetime, but later he plunged into the darkness and became a death knight. .
Could it be... this Ron, is that Ron?
