My Summons Can Learn Skills
Chapter 26 The Villager's Unexplained Death
Three days later, Chen Gou came to the front of an adobe house with a gate of only two meters wide in Panshi City.
Although it was still better than the slum house, it paled in comparison with the location of the Fayuan team.
After Chen Gou knocked on the door lightly, a young woman about seventeen or eighteen years old with spots on her face showed a timid head from the crack of the door, with a questioning expression on her face.
Chen Gou politely said, "Is this the resident of the Longsong Team belonging to the left wing of the Abyss Knights?"
"Yes, are you..." The girl became more vigilant.
"Chen Gou, the new official member of Longsong Team." Chen Gou took out a silver mask and raised his voice.
Since he was canonized as the Silver Knight, the previous bronze mask was taken back and replaced with this silver mask.
"Ah...it's Lord Knight, come in now, you look so young." The girl hurriedly opened the door and invited him in happily.
"Where is Captain Xin Qi?"
Coming to a new environment, the first thing to do is naturally to worship the boss.
He is a fierce man with an awakening level of LV40 or higher. Even though he has just experienced a fiasco where all his team members have died in battle, the camel is still bigger than a horse.
"Captain he..."
The girl sighed as he wanted to say something and said: "Oh! You know it by yourself."
The yard is not big. In less than a minute, Chen Gou followed the girl to the backyard, only to see a middle-aged man leaning on the threshold drunk, with empty wine bottles next to him.
Chen Gou clenched a fist with his right hand and knocked on his left chest, saluting: "Captain, Chen Gou is here to report under the order of the headquarters of the Rock Division of the Knights."
The man in the middle closed his eyes tightly, snoring in his nose, and did not react at all. A scar that penetrated the entire left half of his face crawled on his face like a centipede, looking shocking.
"Team member Chen Gou is here to report!" Chen Gou couldn't help increasing his voice and repeated loudly.
Xin Qi turned over and turned his back butt to him, but still did not respond.
Chen Gou sighed helplessly: "How long has he been like this?"
"It's been this way since I was rescued."
The girl also sighed: "I'm really worried that the adults will continue to be decadent and unable to cheer up. The death of several other knights, especially Anan, will hit him too much... They are lovers, and Ah Lord Nan is already pregnant, and originally planned to concentrate on training after completing the last task."
No wonder...
Chen Gou couldn't help but sympathize with the drunk man in front of him.
The man does not flick when he has tears, just because he has not reached the point of sadness.
In the next half an hour, Chen Gou learned a lot about the Long Song team from the girl.
The girl's name is Ayun. She is an orphan taken in by the Long Song team several years ago. Later, she played the role of the team life steward.
All the time, they helped the Changge team to take care of things outside the battle in an orderly manner.
This time the Longsong team suffered a heavy blow and was beaten to the end. All the other servants left. Only she followed and took care of Xin Qi, who became a useless person.
boom!boom……
There was another knock on the door, and Ayun was about to open the door. Chen Gou stopped her and walked over by himself.
After opening the door, it turned out that Dongli was standing outside.
"Where is your sister?" Chen Gou glanced behind him, no one was there.
"My sister was temporarily called to be accompanied by a big man from the Holy City today. I will introduce you to you in a few days."
Chen Gou despised: "Is it true that in a few days, he will say that this big man fell in love with your sister, and then took her to the holy city?"
"Listen to you...it's not impossible." Dongli touched his chin, his eyes lighted.
Chen Gou: "Sordid!"
"Ha ha……"
Dongli stepped forward and hooked his shoulders and said, "Don't worry,
"Ha ha!"
Suddenly, the expressions on both faces converged at the same time, and an abyss knight came to the door riding a war horse.
"Abyss Knight Rock Division headquarters has an order, Long Song team takes it!" The knight rode on his horse, shouting loudly.
Hearing that it was an order from the headquarter of the branch, Chen Gou and Dongli did not dare to be careless and hurried forward.
"Where is Xin Qi?" The knight held a rolled parchment in his hand, and did not directly give it to them.
"He..." Chen Gou didn't know what to say.
"Forget it, you can transfer it to him." The knight shook his head slightly, threw the sheepskin roll to Chen Gou, and then sighed and drove away.
"Captain, the mission is here!"
Chen Gou and Dongli returned to the yard, turned Xin Qi over, and tried to wake him up, but they almost fainted without a breath of sour alcohol.
"It looks like we can't count on it, so we can only rely on ourselves."
Chen Gou sighed again, he felt that he sighed more today than he had after crossing.
"Open it first."
Dongli took over the sheepskin roll, activated by mana and slowly unfolded.
[Task: Investigate and resolve the unprovoked tragic death of villagers in Baishi Village.
[Difficulty: Two stars]
[Location: Baishi Village, 30 miles southeast of Panshi City.
[Description: Three days ago, I received a report from the head of Baishi Village that since a month ago, villagers in the village had died tragically at their homes for no reason. No injuries were found on their bodies, but their expressions were frightened, as if they had encountered extremely horrible things.
There were folk hunting teams who were hired to investigate, but found nothing, and some people still died tragically for no reason.
[Proposal 1: The Ministry believes that it may be a vendetta case made by villagers using some special means, disguised as a demonic attack.
[Recommendation 2: Even if it is done by demons, it should be a low-strength existence, because the dead are civilians and there is no record of attacks on the awakened.
[Suggestion 3: Investigate in the direction of unknown poison or soul attack.
[Reward: Investigate the cause of the incident and reward 50 merit points, and then reward 100 merit points for solving the entire crisis. There is no penalty for failure of this mission.
[Remarks: According to the existing information, the headquarters temporarily set the risk level as two stars, but the incident may have a higher risk level. Once the situation changes, it is allowed to evacuate and report to the headquarters in advance.
[Deadline: Depart immediately, there will be results within one week.
Dongli carefully reviewed the mission information twice and then said in a deep thought: "It seems that this is for us to practice in the headquarters, but if it is only two-star difficulty... the two of us should be able to handle it."
"It can only be so. I hope that when we come back, the captain has cheered up."
Chen Gou also knew that they had no other way, and men would usually have two extreme situations after being hit hard.
Either you are extremely indifferent and do everything you can to get revenge, or you are crushed, have no love for anything, and get helpless.
Unfortunately, their captain Xin Qi is the latter.
Usually in this case, other than he figured it out, others can't help much.
Of course, Chen Gou and Dongli dared to perform tasks in the absence of the captain, which was also somewhat emboldened.
After all, they have all gone through the abyss test of entering the world of evil spirits. A two-star mission just around Rock City should not be in danger even if it is not completed.
Then the two bid farewell to Ayun and asked her to take good care of the captain, and then went to the Knights Headquarters to receive their armored weapons and horses.
The war horses are two young Black Abyss horses, and they are also the most valuable "materials" distributed to them by the headquarters.
In addition, all the abyss knights can receive for free, only armor and weapons made of ordinary stainless steel.
If you want a law weapon, even the lowest bronze rank, you need to use merit points to exchange it.
Of course, these stainless steel armors and weapons just have no laws, and they are absolutely fine products in terms of strength and sharpness.
Armor Chen Gou does not need the Deathwalker Armor. Instead of using a long sword as a weapon, he chose a scepter with an octagonal prism on the top.
As the saying goes, one inch is long and one inch is strong. As a summoner, he least likes being approached by the enemy, so naturally the larger the weapon's attack range, the better.
He couldn't play with bows and arrows, so he could only use this kind of long-handled hammer similar to a spear.
Half an hour later, amidst the speculation and awe of many civilians, two young knights rode out of the city gate on horses of the gods and plunged into the wilderness.
…………
Baishi Village is relatively a big village.
There are more than one hundred households and four to five hundred people, and a small town can be built within a few years of development.
When Chen Gou and Dongli Benz arrived not far from the entrance of the village, they saw a small group of people blocking the road leading to the village.
"The Wildfire Demon Hunting Group is pursuing evil spirits. No one is allowed to approach..."
One of the brawny men with big waists shouted a warning from a distance, but how could Chen Gou and Dongli listen to his nonsense.
Dongli took the lead with no intention of slowing down. Riding on the armored Black Abyss horse, he slammed into it fiercely.
Domineering and unreasonable.
"Abyss Knight!"
Including the brawny man, the people near the crossing exclaimed, flashing wildly to both sides, giving way to the passage.
"The Vatican sent the Abyssal Knights here, and it seems that we have nothing to do." A yellow-haired man beside the strong man stomped his feet while looking at the knight's back.
"That may be true. The Abyssal Knights team has always been full of action, and they only came with two people, it is very likely that they have just been formed...It is estimated that they are two newcomers who have just passed the abyss assessment.
The demons here are very weird, leaving no traces, inexperienced hunters, it is easy to suffer!"
The brawny man whispered, their folk demon hunting groups have always been able to pick up the leftovers leftovers from the government. Some unruly people even think that they are not inferior to the knights of the three knights, and are not convinced.
"The joke is a joke, but to be honest, I am expecting them to investigate the secret behind it clearly, what is at stake." Another person whispered.
Their wildfire hunting group has also been here for five or six days, but they haven't found any clues.
Not only are villagers still dying every day, but there are even signs of an increase in the number. The killer behind seems to be provoking them.
