Andre started investigating immediately after that day.
First, he went to Rutona again to get the relevant certificates as Ruton's case agent. But at this stage alone, he encountered some problems.
He met the judge named Randolph. This Randolph was exactly the same as Ruto described. He relied on his exquisite eloquence and skillful compliments to please the people in the town, and he got the right to be in this small town.
The "glory and wealth" within.
Just for a matter of proof, he made things difficult for Andri in every possible way. In order to get the judge to stamp the damn seal on the certification document, Andri had to do some small favors for the judge.
For example, extra time is spent to mediate some conflicts among the townspeople, and more time is spent on hard work such as filing files.
During this period of time, the inquisitor named Randolph often frequented the tavern in the center of the town, feeling so at ease that Andri gritted his teeth in anger.
Of course, he was not completely led by Randolph. Although the certificate was not approved and he could not directly testify for Ruto in court, some investigations could naturally be carried out.
While he was helping Randolph, he also visited every corner of the town, and now he has almost memorized in his mind the map that Aaron gave him.
He got some information from various channels.
If there is one place in this town that is the most mysterious, strange and weird, it is undoubtedly the Magic Workshop.
That is where most of the mages in the town work, but no one knows the content of their work. Even if their closest relatives ask them, they will only be vague, and finally say that they have an agreement with the mayor not to disclose it.
As a closing.
But it was too quiet there. According to the residents who lived near the workshop, except for the early morning and evening, when the mages were commuting to and from work, the place was almost unchanged and there was no sound at all.
"What about the possibility of a soundproof barrier?" In order to prevent the leakage of certain things and the prying eyes of the outside world in the magic and alchemy workshops, the soundproof barrier is not a strange configuration.
"I've confirmed it with my own method. If I really want to say it, there isn't even the most basic magic reaction leaked there." Andri shook his head.
This is not normal, and it is not a battlefield stealth activity. Everyone knows that this is where the mage works, and no matter how you think about it, the magic reaction will not be covered up.
Either those mages are not actually engaged in magic work at all, so naturally no magic reaction will occur, or the work they are engaged in, even if only the leakage of magic reaction will have a negative impact.
Andri seemed to think so too: "I thought about looking for an opportunity to go in and investigate, but when I approached there a few days ago, I felt a palpitation in my heart, and then I felt like I was being watched by something. Then I was subjected to some kind of hidden
There was an attack by a creature in the darkness on the street corner. The movement attracted the town's militia group. I escaped from the unknown creature and ran out. Otherwise, if I were caught by the militia group, I would have become a suspect."
Aaron nodded: "Did you get any clues from the creature that attacked you?"
"Unfortunately, the other party acted very cautiously. I ran away in a hurry and did not obtain enough information. I only know that the other party used what seemed to be some kind of venom, and used a technique suspected of magic to manipulate the poison."
This bit of information could not be pinpointed in Aaron's knowledge, so he did not speak rashly.
After that, in addition to the magic workshop and the mage, Andre also got some news from the children in the town.
Speaking of children, Alon was stunned for a moment: "It is true that we rarely see children on the roadside along the way."
Most of the people I saw were adults, and the number of children seemed a bit too few.
"I was confused about this at first, but when I went to a family's home to mediate the matter, I met a child and got some news from him," Andre said.
"This town is very strict about the discipline of children, which is a bit abnormal. They like to keep children at home. Only when it gets dark, children are allowed to go out for a short period of time. But children who have been locked up at home for a long time
, have long since lost interest in the outside world after being under house arrest for a long time, and their parents will still tell them scary stories about being attacked by monsters when they go out at night."
At this point, Andre's brows furrowed, obviously he didn't understand the reason.
Why restrict children's freedom during the day, allow them to go out at night, and at the same time scare them?
"Monster? Fairy tale?" Aaron said.
Experience told him that the strange creatures in folk culture generally provide a considerable breakthrough.
"Supposedly, it's almost like a bedtime story, but it sounds very uncomfortable." Andre said, cleared his throat, then lowered his voice, used a sinister voice, and sang in an unskilled tone.
The melody.
Child, child...
The white sky is an open eye...
Home is the only cradle...
All dangers are separated by that wall...
Listen to adults, mother will protect you...
Child, child...
The black sky is a closed eye...
The earth is dyed with the color of the sky...
The leggy monster eats the face of the bad boy...
Listen to adults, dad will protect you...
At this point, Andre paused.
Xing Liuli shuddered: "What, what's wrong?"
"That's when I heard this, and then the child was taken away by her mother. She was scolded for answering my call, which was really embarrassing." Andri smiled sheepishly.
"Tch." Although the atmosphere was not very good, Xing Liuli couldn't finish listening to this crappy nursery rhyme, and her curiosity was only half satisfied, and she clicked her tongue in displeasure.
"Ugh?" The little clay figurine didn't even hear what they just said, and looked at Aaron and shouted.
"Many-legged monster, white, black, eyes, poison..." Aaron murmured the key words in his mouth, searching for something that could match it from his memory.
It does exist, but it seems inconsistent with the current situation.
If the object cannot be locked in this way, there is another possibility.
He didn't know the stuff involved in this incident.
This is not a surprising thing, after all, the time he left this world is a thousand years at least, so it is not a strange thing to find some strange things.
Even if there are some unknown gods or even beings above the gods appearing in these days, it is still normal.
However, it was impossible to lock the target's body, and the other party was extremely cautious, hiding under Aaron's perception so carefully that he could not catch anything. This kind of dark situation could not be solved quickly and neatly.
Unless he drives large and evaporates this town, then everything will probably be wiped out.
"Let's put this matter aside for now, what happens next?" Aaron asked.
"I was confused about everything for the time being, so I could only return to the case about Yatogli. I wanted to check Yatogli's body but was refused. Then it happened that the bastard asked me to come to the east of the town to take charge.
Mediate a case. A certain farmer's pig ate the vegetables grown by the neighbor's family and was slaughtered for a banquet for the neighbors. The original owner of the pig was eating the delicious food and heard that the pork was the pig that ran away from his family. He picked up a hatchet on the spot and killed
I need an explanation."
"Forehead."
"Wow~."
"Woo~."
Aaron felt that Andri didn't need to go into detail about this case, as he was not interested in the pig thing at all. But he felt that Andri wanted to share this matter with him, with a bright smile on his face.
But Xing Liuli's reaction was what Andri wanted, he was shocked by something that could barely be considered bizarre.
Tomb of the Moon?
Yue Tomb doesn't understand it, so you don't need to know the meaning of every sound it makes, because many times Yue Tomb himself doesn't necessarily know why he makes a sound.
"The scene was really tense. Both sides were equipped with weapons and equipment ready to fight. If I hadn't rushed in with that bastard Inquisitor's token on me, I would have been beaten by both sides," Andri continued.
"Um, so why were you chased by them in the end?"
"Because when I went into the pig pen of the farmer who was treating me, I found that the farmer who was treating me had actually killed the wrong pig. The one he was treating was his own. The original owner's pig was still sleeping in his pen."
"Pfft." Xing Liuli smiled.
Aaron's face wrinkled up: "So what does it have to do with you?"
"The uncomfortable part comes next." Andri's cheerful tone lowered as he continued.
"I went out for a walk to confirm the traces of pigs stealing vegetables. When I came back, I found that the original pig that stole vegetables was dead. I couldn't explain it to the townspeople at once. After all, there were no people present at the time.
It was just me. So after a quarrel, the angry townspeople put all the blame on me and came to hunt me down."
