“Boy, I have to warn you? Staring at someone for too long is rude and disrespectful.” Francis’ face was so gloomy that it was about to drip.
“Sorry, I was distracted by something just now, so I’m leaving now.” Roy instantly concealed the strange look in his eyes, pretending to be nonchalant and leading the dwarf out of the basement.
As soon as he walked under the white light outside, his field of vision broadened, and the heaviness in his heart faded away, he couldn’t help but ask, “Kramer, are you familiar with Francis?”
Several of the attributes of this coroner exceed the level of ordinary people. They are incompatible with his gentle and powerless feminine appearance. There are a lot of doubts about him. What is even more suspicious is the hidden identity. Few objects in observation have been described with such emphasis.
But Roy would not be stupid enough to expose it on the spot, alerting the enemy and angering this guy.
“In the past two months…” the dwarf said, “I used to be responsible for the guard of the palace and had little communication with him. But after getting along with him, I felt that although he always said some nonsense, he did nothing. There is absolutely no ambiguity, and there is no problem with professionalism. The Knights of the White Rose are responsible for the daily security of Elland City, and they often run here, so they are very familiar with him.”
“Speaking of which, why are you suddenly interested in him?”
Roy touched his nose and asked, “Just a casual question.” He then changed the topic and said, “I want to confirm again. The murderer Lei Suo led you to ambush is definitely a human being? It’s not another humanoid monster. It’s nothing different. Appearance characteristics of ordinary people?”
A hint of fear flashed through the dwarf’s copper bell-sized eyes, and he recalled, “Master Leisuo specifically told me at the time that we would wait until he came to us before taking action. Besides, I have also experienced crossbow training, so my eyesight is It’s okay.”
“Using the moonlight at that time, I could vaguely see that he was a man six by three inches (1.9 meters) tall, with a strong build and slender arms. His facial features were blurry, and I only remember his bulging cheeks. His skills… His skills are not very human.”
“Could it really be a monster?” the dwarf murmured in confusion.
“This possibility cannot be ruled out.” Roy looked at the sky in the distance, “Can you tell me the home addresses of the six deceased and the location where the bodies were found.”
“With all due respect,” the dwarf stroked his beard, “Roy, you are wasting your efforts. The Knights have already investigated all the locations countless times, and even mobilized the local gangs to find some unworthy ones. news channel.”
“I can tell you clearly that there is no connection between the six deceased, and there is no intersection between their lives. I think the murderer should be a pervert, who randomly selects targets to commit crimes.”
“Then do you think he will continue to commit crimes?” Roy asked.
“Yes! But with Master Leisuo’s skills, that guy will definitely not be able to get away with it. We should at least have a buffer time.”
“So it is even more important to find the murderer before he recovers. The investigation must continue!”
Roy got the information from the dwarf as he wished.
The two agreed on a time to meet again and separated. The dwarf returned to the palace to protect the prince’s safety, while Roy went directly to the grocery store in the city and bought a map of Elland City.
According to the method that Leisuo taught him when he was investigating the deer-headed spirit on Mahakam, he used charcoal to mark all the corpse locations on the map, and then tried to connect them in chronological order.
Soon a nearly circular symbol appeared in front of his eyes, but he racked his brains and found no information about this symbol in his mind.
A meaningless symbol.
“Is my idea wrong? Is the murderer really randomly selecting the place to display the body?”
Without a solution, he changed his mind again.
Instead of rushing to investigate the scene first, he returned to the “Big Belly” tavern.
The Sea Scorpion Acrobatic Troupe has been deserted, and the tavern has returned to its usual cleanliness. The boss is sitting in front of the counter boredly, smoking a pipe and puffing away smoke.
But the boy has no time to care about this now.
“Boss, I have a question for you.”
Hearing this, the greasy middle-aged man blew a puff of white smoke into the young man’s face. With a flash of philistine in his eyes, he asked, “What kind of room do you want to stay in?”
“If you can answer it right, then I will stay in the hotel!”
“Well, if you ask any questions, Old Tom will definitely answer to your satisfaction.”
“A few days ago, was there a bald man with unique eyes staying in the hotel?” Old Tom took a deep breath, his eyebrows knitted together, and then suddenly relaxed,
“Are you talking about the taciturn demon hunter who carries a steel sword? It’s in Room 4 upstairs, but this guest checked out three days ago.”
As expected, Roy was delighted, “Did he ask you to bring a message to someone?”
The boss shook his head.
“Then I’ll reserve 4 rooms.”
went upstairs and opened the door. The room had been tidied up by the tavern clerk. There was no trace left by the previous tenant. However, Roy walked around the room, his nose twitching like a hound. I smoked and smelled some residual smell keenly.
“Dwarf spirits…slightly sweet rancid smell, this is-” He found some residual powder in the cracks of the wooden floor in the room.
“The blood of the corpse-eater.”
“Letho checked the potion in this room before.”
“Use these materials as the base for alchemy.” Although he could not refine the magic potion, he knew a lot of formulas and his mind was spinning rapidly. Roy quickly came to the conclusion “high-grade black blood.”
The demon hunter once refined the magic potion Advanced Black Blood in this hotel.
With this discovery, Roy’s originally vague thoughts suddenly became clear. In his opinion, the humanoid creatures that were powerful enough to dodge crossbows and harm demon hunters were nothing more than those types.
“Bloodfiends, vampire banshees, katakaans, shapeshifters, and high-level vampires.”
The high-level black blood just allows the blood of the demon hunter to restrain ghouls and vampires.
“So is it possible… that the initiator of this series of serial murders is a vampire.”
And he is a high-level vampire, because other vampires have too low IQs to survive and hide in big cities.
On the contrary, high-level vampires can change into human forms and are not afraid of sunlight. Garlic, flames, and wooden stakes all have no effect.
The thought made him nervous.
In the world of the Demon Hunter, if one wants to rank the strength and weakness of all creatures in combat, then as far as he knows, the strongest creature is the Mirror Master Gunter O’Dimm… No! The strongest creature is the owner of the pair of golden pupils that Roy saw in the Meliteli Temple, and he suspected that he was a god.
Mirror Master is second.
Then in third place is the king of the vampire clan – the Shadow Elder.
High-level vampires are second only to the shadow elders.
Their appearance is the same as that of humans, and their physical habits are actually no different from humans, and blood is not necessary for survival.
High-level vampires are also much more powerful than ordinary wild vampires. Their ability to regenerate is far beyond imagination. Even beheading and heart removal cannot kill them. They are not afraid of holy water or any symbols.
Not only that, they can perfectly avoid all magic detection. Even witchers cannot distinguish high-level vampires from ordinary mortals.
After the vampire friend Regis of the witcher Geralt was killed by Wilfergoz, he was almost turned into ashes and could be resurrected with blood by another vampire, although it took many years to complete.
As for their fighting power – several high-level vampires cooperate with each other and can even massacre a small city with a population of thousands. It is impossible for an ordinary demon hunter to kill a high-level vampire as lightly as in the game.
“Could it be that Lei Suo really encountered an accident?” He was not sure that the big man could defeat a high-level vampire head-on.
“Calm down. Everything is just a hypothesis now. Let me deal with the cause and effect again.” Roy rubbed his cheek and forced himself to calm down.
Roy sat cross-legged on the simple wooden bed, maintaining a meditative posture. Complex thoughts flashed through his mind like waves, and the myriad threads were gradually sorted out by an invisible big hand.
High-level vampires are rare advanced species. They have the same rational emotions, joys and sorrows as humans, and some individuals are even more sensitive and sentimental than ordinary people.
From a human perspective, there are good and bad among them.
For example, Regis, a pure “vegetarian” who refuses to **** blood, and Dettlaff, who was coaxed into running around by a few sweet words from Sylvia Anna, both belong to the peaceful group.
The Peaceful Sect is willing to live in peace with human beings, and will never do anything harmful to human society unless it is provoked.
On the contrary, some of the remaining high-level vampires belong to the hunting sect and are “evil”.
They regard human beings as four-legged sheep, high-grade food to satisfy their appetites. Because they have different opinions on the methods of “raising” humans, they are also divided into the mountain-raising sect, the cage-raising sect, and the human-rearing sect.
It is impossible for them to talk emotionally and rationally with “food” like humans.
So, assuming that the person who fought Reso three days ago was a high-level vampire, which faction would this person belong to?
Can we communicate?
First of all, he lives in the big city of Ireland.
With the murderer’s fighting power, he could have killed all the ambushing soldiers, including Kramer, but he did not do so. Instead, he fled to the dark alley to engage in a small-scale battle with the demon hunter.
Don’t want to completely expose your identity in front of ordinary people and deliberately avoid accidentally hurting innocent people?
This vampire may be a pacifist.
“I hope so, so that Leisuo will have a chance of surviving even if he is defeated.”
In addition, except for the six deceased, Roy did not hear of anyone else dying as a result of this series of serial murders. Even the soldiers tracking down the murderer were all intact.
“The murderer did not kill easily, which is not in line with the unscrupulous character of the hunting sect. Then assume that the murderer is a high-level vampire of the peaceful sect. Under this premise, he will randomly select an innocent target as the murder victim Who?”
The demon hunter shook his head, “There must be some kind of trait in the victim!”
The knights investigating the family information of the deceased apparently missed some hidden information about the deceased.
“The murderer’s motive is hidden in these missing clues!”
Then his attention returned to the issue of the identity of the vampire, and he immediately thought of the weird Francis.
With this guy’s status as coroner, it is quite convenient for him to do whatever he wants.
“In Kramer’s description, the murderer’s face was not clearly visible, but the murderer was over six feet tall, much taller than Francis, who is the same height as me.”
“And this guy doesn’t look injured at all. If he can really capture Leisuo without any injuries~IndoMTL.com~ his combat power will be too strong… The black blood is enough for a high-level vampire to drink a pot. ”
Francis is suspected, but he currently has no evidence and does not know the other party’s motives.
To rush forward recklessly to identify someone is to seek death.
Roy didn’t think that he, a new demon hunter, could send a high-level vampire into suspended animation.
That’s right, it’s fake death. The conventional methods of the demon hunters, piercing the heart with the silver sword, cutting off the head, and burning the seal to ashes, can only temporarily put the high-level vampires into a state of suspended animation.
Only the same kind can end them completely.
Fighting high-level vampires is the last option.
Although he can’t wait to save Leisuo, he will not rashly approach the suspect and offend him before he is sure.
He must try his best to find out the murderer’s motives and concerns.
