Chapter 137: The Lord is here, let me watch the show
It's not yet noon yet.
The small town of Godery is as lively as ever.
Since the Goblin crisis was resolved, the town has slowly restored its original appearance, and both sides of the street are once again filled with business stalls.
In front of a stall selling fruit, a tall and handsome man stood out, which was particularly eye-catching.
At first glance, this man was not a resident of a small town. Although his clothes were very ordinary, the fabrics were of the highest quality and were definitely not clothes that ordinary people could afford.
The stall owner always smiled and answered the man's questions.
"...I remember that little girl. She came to me many times to buy fruit. That child was also a poor girl. I heard that the village was attacked by goblins..."
"Have you seen her again?" the man asked.
"Oh, I haven't seen that little girl for a long time. Who is that little girl as a guest?"
"I was entrusted by someone, and I am very worried about the little girl's safety."
"Oh, you have to look for it carefully. You don't know that many children in the town have been lost for no reason recently." The stall owner lowered his voice.
"When did it start?"
…
After asking around for a while, the man picked some fruits from the stall, bought them, and then left.
After not walking far, he met up with another man.
"What did you find out again this time?" Dennis came over and asked absentmindedly.
Yes, these two people are none other than Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear and Dennis.
The two of them have been in this small town for a few days, for no other reason than to find the girl named "Shanna".
The two of them were not doing this for the so-called mission reward, they were doing this purely to return a favor.
The two of them almost died at the hands of Sethis, but it was the timely rescue of Bai Yueguang and Liuying Rose, and later the intervention of Lin Xi and Lando, that allowed them to survive.
"Let's go to the next place." Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear's face was as dark as water.
"That little girl has disappeared for so long. If she could have been found, she would have been found long ago." Dennis was a little frustrated.
He's not good at doing this kind of thing.
He even didn't like this town. It was too poor and backward, and there wasn't even a place to relax.
The Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear did not speak any more, frowning as they walked forward.
He is good at investigation, and he was the first to discover that the goblins nearby were abnormal.
His ability to become a silver-level adventurer relies not only on his strength, but also on his keen control of details and clues.
In the past few days of investigation, it seemed that no substantial clues had been found, but in fact, he already had an investigation direction in his mind.
The two came to a slum again. Dennis disliked the environment inside and still stood there waiting for the Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear.
The waiting time was particularly long this time.
Just when Dennis was about to lose his patience, the Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear finally came back.
"What's taking so long?" Dennis complained.
"I already know roughly what's going on." The Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear looked serious.
"Oh? Did you find it? Tell me quickly!"
"Now follow me to another place. You will know when you get there."
"It's so mysterious, can't you reveal it first? Hey, don't leave!"
…
The two came to the door of the town's only Adventurer's Association.
Looking at the sign in front of him, Dennis's lips almost grinned behind his ears.
They had been here two days ago, and the smell inside was really hard to describe.
There were various smells of sweat, alcohol, and strange smells. When these smells were mixed together, Dennis almost vomited.
"What are we doing here?"
Dennis's whole body resisted entering.
"Find someone!"
"Don't tell me that little girl is in here."
"Find a guy nicknamed 'Hunchback Mazi'." After saying that, the Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear pushed the door open and entered.
The wooden door made a creaking sound, as if it might fall down at any time.
"I'll wait for you outside, hurry up." Dennis felt it would be better for him to stay outside.
The Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear who entered inside also frowned when they smelled the smell that hit their faces, but he was not as pretentious as Dennis, he could bear it.
Not paying attention to the glances directed at them, the nine shadows of the Holy Spear quickly swept over these people.
Based on the appearance of that "hunk pockmarked man", he quickly locked onto a person.
It was a middle-aged man sitting by the window who was a little drunk. He had a big round face with little dots all over it.
He was holding a wine bottle in his hand, with his feet on the table, his body half leaning on the back of the chair, and he was talking excitedly with the other two people around him.
The Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear walked straight over.
"'Camel pockmarked!"
The Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear directly called each other's nickname.
The big round face raised, and the small eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the man who appeared next to him, and asked with a big tongue: "Who are you?"
"I want to ask you about someone."
Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear got straight to the point, but his eyes became even sharper.
"You want to ask me about someone? Hehe, you can do it, kid. You know that I have the best information in this area. As long as you can afford the money, I can tell you whose seed the baby in the widow's belly is."
After saying that, Tuo Mazi took a sip of wine and spread out his other hand, clearly asking for money.
"A girl named Shanna."
The sights of the Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear were like the spears he used, pinned to the opponent's body.
puff!
Ahem!
Unexpectedly, as soon as he asked this question, the wine that Hunchback had not yet swallowed was spit out, causing him to cough.
"Come on, come on, I don't know the person you're talking about."
The hunchback Pockmarked waved his big fat hands, with an obvious look of panic on his face.
Recently, more and more people have come to inquire about "Shanna". Even a fool can guess that that girl is not simple and should be involved with some big shot.
The Adventurer Association's mission announcement was even posted, and anyone who could provide information about the girl's whereabouts would receive 10,000 gold coins.
If you find the girl, you will get one hundred thousand gold coins.
With such a high reward, many mercenaries and adventurers are looking for someone to go crazy.
"Then let me ask more bluntly, where did you take the girl named 'Shanna'?"
The words of the Holy Spear Nine Shadows were spoken at a high volume, and everyone focused their attention, so everyone heard it.
Everyone quickly sorted out an important piece of information: Camel Mazi took Shanna away!
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
Those pairs of eyes looked at me even more passionately.
Many people even moved closer here, wanting to hear more information.
"I don't know what you're talking about, go, go, go!"
Hunchback Mazi, who had a guilty conscience, stood up from his seat after half-awakening, and was about to push the Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear.
What kind of strength is the Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear? He can beat everyone in this room with one hand!
bump!
With a loud noise, the hunchback's head hit the table directly.
The wooden round table suddenly split into two halves, and all the tableware and wine glasses on it fell to the ground.
"What are you doing? Are you looking for trouble?"
The two men at the table with Hunchback Mazi immediately stood up angrily and were ready to attack the Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear.
Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear was still holding Hunchback Mazi's head with one hand, but showed his identity card with the other hand.
That shining silver identity plate almost blinded everyone's eyes.
Silver level...adventurer!
The two people who were just about to take action were so frightened that they gasped.
If one or two bronze-level adventurers could come to their small town, that would be news.
And the man in front of him turned out to be a silver-level adventurer.
My dear!
I almost hit the knife edge!
The two people who just wanted to take action were not the only ones who were frightened.
Except for the hunchback's wailing, there was no other sound in the entire room at this moment.
The Holy Spear Nine Shadows raised their palms and picked up the entire hunchback.
"Tell me, where did you take the people?" Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear asked again.
"I...I really don't know, I don't know..."
The hunchback bit him to death and refused to admit it.
Whoosh!
Bang!
Hunchback Mazi flew out of the window.
Everyone in the room still didn't dare to take a breath, and no one dared to stand up for Hunchback Mazi.
bite!
Holy Spear Nine Shadows threw a gold coin to the front desk: "This is compensation for damaged items."
After speaking, he walked out of the association without waiting for the staff's reaction.
All the people in the room cheered and crowded to the window again, looking like they were watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
"Hunchback Mazi is going to end today. He actually alarmed a Silver-level adventurer."
"This bastard, I've seen him full of evil for a long time, and he's going to get retribution today."
"Was the girl named 'Shan Na' really abducted by him?"
"I think it's most likely, otherwise, why was he so guilty just now?"
"..."
These people who not long ago had been bragging and drinking with Hunchback Mazi, now looked like they had nothing to do with the matter, and even became more and more enthusiastic as they talked.
The hunchback who was thrown onto the street shouted loudly like a shrew: "Here comes someone! There is a murder, someone is going to commit murder in the street!"
His shout attracted many villagers in the town to watch.
"Hey, Jiuying, what's going on with this guy?" Dennis looked at the Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear who just walked out.
"The girl's disappearance is related to him."
"What?" Dennis was surprised.
This fat guy with big ears is really courageous!
He actually dared to touch the girl Lin Xi cared about.
Do you want to taste the feeling of having your heart ripped out?
The scene he witnessed flashed through his mind, and Dennis couldn't help but shudder.
"Tell me, where did you hide that girl?" Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear walked up to Hunchback Mazi, his tone cold.
According to his investigation and speculation, the girl named "Shanna" was not the only one who was abducted.
"Someone, help!"
Hunchback Mazi refused to answer the Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear and pretended to be pitiful while inciting the masses.
"I'm not good at torture, so you don't have to tell me. I'll hand you over to those people. I think they'll be better able to pry your mouth open."
The Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear had no sympathy for the miserable hunchback, and immediately took out the rope and sack from the storage ring.
"Jiuying, do you plan to hand him over to Lin Xi and the others?" Dennis swallowed.
He didn't know about others, but that woman with blond hair and golden eyes must have many torture techniques.
"That's right! Handing him over can be considered a return of favor." Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear looked serious.
"I'm innocent, I don't know anything! Let me go! Someone, someone is committing murder on the street, come here!"
Hunchback Mazi was still shouting. Maybe it was because he was not popular. There were so many people watching, but no one came out to speak for him.
Just as the Nine Shadows of Holy Spear used ropes to tie up the hunchback on the ground, the crowd suddenly separated, and several people dressed as city guards came over.
Seeing the city guards coming, Hunchback Mazi struggled harder as if he had seen a savior, but because his mouth was stuffed with something, he could only make a whining sound.
"What's going on?" one of the city guards asked.
The Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear did not answer, but showed their identity cards again.
This thing is so useful!
"It turns out to be the adventurer!"
The attitude of the city guards immediately changed 180 degrees.
All laws and regulations are bullshit in front of the strong.
These city guards obviously couldn't afford to offend a Silver-level adventurer, but in front of so many people, they had to say something.
"I wonder how this person offended your lord?" the city guard asked again.
"This guy is a kidnapper, we are going to take him away." Dennis knew that the Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear didn't like to talk, so he explained from the side.
"A kidnapper? That's okay. This is a serious crime against the law. Thank you, Your Excellencies, for capturing this person. Please hand him over to us. We will deal with it impartially and never let the bad guys go unpunished."
The city guard who spoke looked very upright and was ready to take the person away immediately.
"None of you can take him away!" Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear said coldly.
"Your Excellency, just leave this small matter to us..."
"I don't want to repeat it a second time!"
The arrogance of the Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear happened again.
Clang!
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a city guard suddenly pulled out the weapon from his waist and stabbed the hunchback on the ground.
Zheng!
There was another sound.
The long sword was kicked away, and the city guard who had just taken action was grabbed by the neck by the Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear.
"I just want to help you..."
The city guards struggled and struggled to make a sound.
"What I saw was your behavior of trying to silence you!"
The Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear spoke coldly, and a pair of eyes once again emitted a sharp light.
"Sir, please calm down, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
Several other city guards were busy trying to smooth things over.
The Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear still held the opponent's neck and wouldn't let go, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
At this moment, the sound of a carriage was heard.
The crowd voluntarily gave way to the road.
"It's so lively here! Hey, why are you two?"
Bai Yueguang was the first to jump out of the carriage and saw the scene at a glance.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Xi, Liuying Qiangwei, and Huang Quan also stepped out of the car one after another.
"Hey, what a coincidence, you came just in time, which saved us from sending the person there for you."
Dennis suddenly laughed when he saw the person coming.
At the same time, the Nine Shadows of the Holy Spear finally let go of their hands.
The real owner is here, and what happens next is just a good show for him.
