Chapter 420 Tauren mercenaries, strange motives
"It's a Tauren mercenary at the Five Elements level."

Kumagai Junpei held his own purple potion, shook it, carefully observed the reaction of the bubbles, and said while doing his own thing: "The ice cube in your hand is the tauren who came to me to ship it five years ago. By the way, sell that stuff to me.

His name was Carl, and his original name was Carl Milne, but now he has no surname, just Carl.

Because when he was still in the grassland, he was too cruel and even killed members of his own tribe. Later, he was kicked out by his own tribe.

Carl then went on to other tribes of his own clan.

However, he did not change his nature, and traveled to several tribes, but committed the crime of massacring his own tribe in each tribe, and in the end, he was completely expelled from his own clan.

I don't know if you understand, but on the grassland, a sub-human race has many clans, and each clan has many tribes.

For example, the tauren family includes Hutt, Hart, Walker, Milne and other clans.

And under each clan name, there will be many tribes.

People of the same clan can exchange between different tribes.

Let's say that.

The tauren royal family is equivalent to the royal family.

And each clan of the tauren is equivalent to each major surname, and each tribe under the major name is equivalent to the main family and many branches of this surname.

As long as you have the same surname as everyone else, that's okay, other branches also welcome you.

But if you don't even have this surname, then no branch will accept you, because you are no longer 'family'.

Such was the case with Carl.

He committed a lot of evil, was expelled from his own clan, and completely lost the surname of 'Milne', then no Tauren tribe of Milne would accept him, which means he has no roots.

Unless he can be named by other clans of the tauren, he is equivalent to a rootless duckweed on the grassland.

What is the difficulty of this matter?

It's probably equivalent to going to Sakura Jiuwu's family now and begging them to give me a surname... Ha. "

Speaking of this, Kumagai Junpei shook his head and laughed, "We still say that Karl is a tauren, but in fact, in the grassland, he cannot be called a tauren, because he does not have a tauren clan, so he was directly expelled from the tauren membership. There is a unique term for humanoids on the grassland—beast people.”

"Then do you know where he is at the moment?"

Li Guanqi asked.

"of course I know."

Kumagai Junpei shrugged, "I guess he was eating meat in the Tauren's Hall of Valor."

"Um?!"

Li Guanqi's heart sank, "What do you mean by this statement?"

Hall of Valor?
In the tauren clan, all the tauren believe that after the death of the heroic warriors, their souls will ascend to the Hall of Valor, where they can enjoy food and wine with the ancestors of the clan.

It is posthumous!
"Snatching a kiss, you know?"

Kumagai Junpei put down the potion bottle in his hand, turned to look at Li Guanqi, and said calmly: "Karl robbed the bride in the city and raped the bride. According to "Sakura Law", this kind of bad influence is definitely a death sentence.

What's more, this place is Heianjing.

In order to maintain the "beautiful" atmosphere of the capital, the shogunate worked hard.

Carl was lucky, breaking the law against the limelight, and raped the bride on the wedding day. This bad situation was directly escalated to public beheading.

After he was caught by the law enforcement department at that time, he was publicly beheaded in Qingcao Town, Nancheng District within a few days.

I was there to watch, and the executioner first stabbed Karl through the heart, and then chopped it down with a knife.

With a sound of 'puchi', the blood rushed out directly.

The cow's head fell to the ground. If it hadn't been stuck by the horns, it would probably have rolled to my feet. "

"That's how he died?!"

Li Guanqi was stunned.

Then how can he ask Carl for questioning?
I got the bricks and tiles of the Ice Temple by chance, but all my luck was used up all of a sudden?
If the follow-up clues are cut off directly, then it’s okay?

"Then is there anyone else who knows him well?"

Not reconciled, Li Guanqi quickly asked Kumagai Junpei: "For example, for example... relatives and friends? Or a mercenary who often cooperates?"

"No."

Kumagai Junpei shook his head, and said lightly: "Although that guy is a tauren, he is indeed a 'lone wolf'. He has always been alone and has never had friends. To be honest, he is destined to have no friends because of his bad personality. , Every time you come to my place to ship goods, you always have a cold attitude."

"..."

Hearing these words, Li Guanqi's expression turned extremely ugly.

Finish the ball.

He looked down at the bricks and tiles of the Ice Temple in his hand, and his mood became more and more complicated.

So, the clue to the Ice Temple is broken?

"Wow!"

Suddenly, Xiaoxue's crying sounded in his mind, crying continuously, "Xiaoxue wants to go home! Xiaoxue wants to go home!!"

"Lumo, Shunkong, help me comfort Xiaoxue."

Li Guanqi had no choice but to shout in his mind.

"I don't have that experience either."

Instantaneous means powerless.

"I was wrong."

The tone of the magic knife was a little speechless, "I said earlier that it's too bad for the lioness to cry after living for more than 100 years, but Xiaoxue has lived for tens of thousands of years, so I can cry. I didn't expect... …Speaking of which, the temple can really be called home? When the master rises up in the future, and build a new temple for you, won’t the whole new home be over? "

"Wow!!"

However, Xiaoxue's crying was still sad, and she ignored the two "brothers" at all.

Li Guanqi suppressed the crying in his head, feeling a bit hopeless...

"Speaking of which, Carl's snatching behavior is really strange."

At this time, Kumagai Junpei raised his head, as if recalling something, his brows were slightly frowned.

"Oh?"

Li Guanqi's eyes narrowed, "How strange?"

"Because it shouldn't, it doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense."

Kumagai Junpei turned around and left the alchemy room, walked to the bar next to him, poured a glass of green shochu, and after taking a sip, said in a deep voice: "Originally, Karl is a mercenary who lives in Heian-kyo.

This kid is ruthless enough, and he is cautious enough in doing things.

Accepting orders is all about coming, guarding the ruins, killing people and setting fires... etc., all done.

Made a lot of money over the decades.

Of course, the most important thing is to accumulate a lot of connections.

Relying on his savings and connections over the years, Karl bought a house in Qingcao Town, Nancheng District, Heian-kyo, which is also known as the "Beast Man Street" 3 years ago.

A mercenary chose to buy a house in Ping'an capital, where every land was very expensive, which meant it was obvious.

Everyone in the circle felt that the guy was going to retire and decided to live a quiet life in the city.

But the strange thing is, we couldn't figure it out, why did that guy suddenly go crazy, and actually snatch a kiss in Ping'an Jing!

This is a crime on the surface!

And this is Heianjing! !
Not to mention that he is a five-element class, the seven-stars who usually fly to the sky and escape from the earth have to walk on their feet obediently when they come here, and when entering other people's homes, they have to knock on the door first and ask if they can enter!

But Karl broke the law in the city. One year ago, on the day when a tauren newlyweds got married, they forcibly snatched their marriage.

On the way to welcome the tauren couple, they robbed the tauren bride and ran home. It is said that Karl took the human daughter home and started working immediately.

Because according to people from the law enforcement department, when they broke into Carl's house, the bride had been stripped naked and lying on the bed, tears streaming down her face, and there were marks on the sheets.

Karl was also naked, looking as if he had just finished plowing.

Hey, don't you think orcs don't care about chastity.

The Tauren took a fancy to this.

After the news that the tauren bride was robbed of her virginity by Karl spread, the tauren husband, that is, the newly married man, directly regretted the marriage and vetoed the marriage.

And ah, this incident is well known.

There were only a few thousand tauren living in Ping'an Jing, which is a big circle, so it is impossible for the tauren bride to get married if she does not change cities in her life.

Alas, that bastard Carl.

He courted death by himself, and ruined other girls. "

Speaking of this, Kumagai Junpei shook his head, and then his expression became more and more surprised.

"The strange thing is here.

3 years ago, Carl just bought a house in the city, and he never took any employment orders. He just lived alone for 2 years, looking like he was retired, and wanted to start a quiet life. New life.

But one year ago, on the day of the wedding of the tauren couple, he suddenly went to snatch a relative and commit a crime. Is this logical?This is totally illogical!
Karl is the peak alien blood warrior of the Five Elements class!

Of course it’s a bit insufficient compared to the above, but isn’t it too much to be more than enough?

That is to say, he can only buy a small house in Ping An Jing, where every land is very expensive. If he were to change to another city, a different blood warrior at the peak of the Five Elements would at least live in a castle, which could be more luxurious than the city lord's mansion. How could he be short of women? ?
No shortage at all!
What's more, although Karl is not a royal blood tauren, he is actually considered to be of a higher bloodline. Except for the cow's head, his whole body is humanoid.

And the tauren bride he raped was the tauren of the lowest bloodline, not only had a bull's head on her head, but even her legs were cow's hooves.

Karl raped this kind of female tauren... well, it's hard to say.

What kind of behavior is this?
This is equivalent to a middle-aged man who is not too handsome but not too ugly among us humans. He just spent decades of savings to buy a house in Ping An Jing. He is a small successful person who is ready to retire and enjoy life .

For a character like him, if he wanted a woman, he could call hundreds of them with just a tick of his fingers.

However, within two years of retiring, he went to rape an ugly girl, and for the sake of an ugly girl, he took his own life.

Brother, you say. "

Speaking of this, Kumagai Junpei looked at Li Guanqi and asked in surprise, "Is this so reasonable?"

"unreasonable."

Li Guanqi frowned slightly, with a pensive look on his face.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

There must be some unknown truth hidden in this matter.

"Ding!"

"Trigger mission conditions."

"You've been given a new detective mission."

——[Mystery of the Tauren]——

Task introduction:

Cal, the tauren mercenary at the pinnacle of the Five Elements, has no reason to violate a tauren woman of low blood, let alone Heian-kyo, the capital of the Sakura Shogunate, and this female tauren was raped on her wedding day , The final bad influence caused Karl to be beheaded for public display.

It was illogical, and there must be some kind of truth behind it.

Why don't you come and be a detective and find out the real ins and outs of this matter.

Task requirements: find out the truth behind this matter.

Mission time limit: 24 hours.

Task Reward: A green talent.

[Quick thinking (green): You have sharp thinking and amazing insight. You can easily unravel a matter and find the hidden truth behind it. 】

(Note: When this talent is acquired for the first time, the strength of the soul will be automatically increased by one level. After that, every time the quality of this talent is improved, the soul will be increased by one level)
"Oh?"

Li Guanqi frowned.

24-hour time limit, race against time...

In other words, this task reward is almost equivalent to [soul upgrade one level].

But even if this task did not appear, Li Guanqi still wanted to find out the truth behind it, because where did Karl get the bricks of the Ice Temple in his hand, and he had to find out the answer to this question.

There is only one breakthrough in the matter of the tauren Karl.

"What's the name of the female tauren who was raped by Karl on the wedding night? Do you know where she is at the moment?"

Li Guanqi looked at Kumagai Junpei and asked seriously.

"Why are you asking this?"

Kumagai Junpei was taken aback.

"Just pure curiosity."

Li Guanqi smiled, "As you said, this matter is very illogical, so I am very curious about what caused Karl to do such a completely unreasonable thing. After all, a tauren at the peak of the Five Elements level has no The truth suddenly comes to mind, doesn’t it?”

"really."

Kumagai Junpei nodded, "The tauren is not a werewolf. On the night of the full moon, they will lose their minds. They will either kill wildly or find someone to mate with. By the way, I have seen a werewolf. He..."

"So you know what?"

Li Guanqi didn't wait for him to chat, and immediately brought the topic back, "What's the situation with that female tauren who was raped by Karl?"

"of course I know."

Kumagai Junpei nodded, then took another sip of the shochu in the glass, and said with emotion: "That female tauren was killed by Karl, her name is Brianna, and her clan is Moshul, which is very low.

As I said earlier, the tauren family valued chastity very much, and Brianna's tutor was even more morbid, it was morbid, it was completely over.

Brianna was raped by Karl, and the man has a grudge in his heart, so he won't marry, what can outsiders say?
Moral accusation?
To be honest, moral accusations may not have a position, after all, few men can stand this stuff.

In short, after this incident happened, the man regretted the marriage and refused to marry, and outsiders had nothing to say.

But what about Briana's parents?
Her parents, because Brianna was raped, thought she was insulting and kicked her out of the house.

This is what..."

Having said that, Kumagai Junpei drank the shochu in his glass, shook his head and sighed, "It's ridiculous, isn't it?"

"It's unlucky to have such parents."

Li Guanqi frowned slightly.

"That's right."

Kumagai Junpei put the wine glass on the table, and smiled helplessly, "To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the female tauren doesn't fit my aesthetics... I would take her over as long as she is a little more beautiful, as a maid. Yes, it's a pity..."

It's a pity that the appearance is not enough.

Li Guanqi was speechless for a moment.

This is a world based on faces... In the countries of the world, the best orcs are those with royal blood, such as Sophia, who only have animal features, but have a beautiful face and a complete human figure.

"So, where is this female tauren named Brianna now?"

Li Guanqi looked at Kumagai Junpei and asked again.

"Nancheng District, Huayi Town."

Kumagai Junpei turned around and pointed to a back door, "Push open that door and walk straight to the end of the alley. Turn right and continue straight, you will come to Huayi Town, and then, you can ask any passerby where the Hualuo Orphanage is."

"Hara Orphanage in Huayi Town?"

Li Guanqi was a little surprised, "You mean, Brianna is in Hua Luo Orphanage?"

"She opened the Hualuo Orphanage."

Kumagai Junpei said flatly: "As I said earlier, Karl is a lone wolf, and he is alone, with no relatives or reasons, so after he was beheaded, according to the "Sakura Law", half of his property was confiscated, and the other half was used Compensate victims.

That's Brianna.

Therefore, Brianna, a one-yuan female tauren, directly obtained half of Karl's family wealth, and transformed into a little rich woman.

After she was driven out of the house by her parents, she moved to Huayi Town and opened an orphanage, which specially adopted orphans who had no parents or were abandoned by their parents. Of course, most of them were orc children.

I remember hearing that a while ago... the orphanage now has more than 20 orphans, right? "

"what?"

Li Guanqi was startled when he heard this, and then he looked at Kumagai Junpei with strange eyes, "Then you don't need to worry about her situation, and you still want to take her as a servant girl? What do you think... Are you sure that's it?"

"I don't think much of Karl's money."

Kumagai Junpei, a Liuhe-level warrior with different blood, didn't seem to feel any offense, but calmly said: "It is Brianna who got the property, so she needs more protection.

After all, in this Heian capital, although the laws are strict, as long as they don't expose it to the public, the people in the law enforcement department don't bother to worry so much.

For example, with the means of your conjurers, if you want to do something, it is easy when you do it, but the people from the law enforcement department want to track it down afterwards, but it is a troublesome job. "

"Is that so?"

Li Guanqi frowned, "But Brianna is still alive and well, according to what you say, she should have died long ago."

"It's always a matter of time."

Kumagai Junpei waved his hand and said with a sneer: "It's only been a year since the Karl incident, the rape of the bride is too bad, and there's too much attention, the limelight of this incident has not yet completely passed.

When the limelight is over, Brianna's safety issue will be hard to say. Even if there is no problem with safety, in this city, there are too many ways to kill a one-level tauren. "

"That's true."

Li Guanqi's eyes narrowed slightly.

There is no need to speak too bluntly about the dirty things in the world, everyone understands it.

"I thought that in a capital-level city like Heian-kyo, the law could be more just."

Li Guanqi shook his head and sighed, "So it's the same everywhere."

"Every out-of-towner thinks so."

Kumagai Junpei smiled, picked up the jug, and poured himself another glass of shochu, "The law is a kind of rule, and rules have always been used by the strong to restrain the weak, never used to restrain themselves... Oh, by the way, would you like a drink?"

"No."

Li Guanqi turned and left, "Thank you for the news, I'm going to ask Brianna about something now."

Standing by the side, keeping silent from the beginning to the end, Sophia, who didn't say a word, followed after seeing this.

"I wish you all the best."

Kumagai Junpei held his glass high, watched Li Guanqi leave, then turned his head, looked through the window at the prosperous night scene of the distant streets of Heian-kyo.

The brightly lit streets interweave and criss-cross each other, forming the night decoration of the capital of the shogunate. In a corner of the city in the distance, there are even fireworks, and the gorgeous light directly illuminates half of the night sky. magnificent.

"To the bloody city."

Kumagai Junpei raised his head and drank the wine in his glass.
