Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 498 Should I carry a knife or an umbrella on a rainy night?
At night, it gets darker. Except for the blurry street lights on both sides of the road, there is no light source and no pedestrians can be seen. The whole city is like a no-man's land.

In fact, it is not that there are no houses on both sides of the road, but the habit of the residents of the foggy city. They close the doors and windows, tighten the curtains, and do not listen or see the door. Because only in this way can we avoid trouble and live longer. This is the experience of the residents of the foggy city. talk.

In a room on the second floor of a street hotel, under the light, the three of them were sorting out the collected intelligence. Obviously none of them were professionals, so they felt a little in a hurry.

In fact, the three of them already regretted choosing this mission, because the Rainy Night Butcher was nothing new in the Fog City, and this was the source of the trouble.

There is no shortage of perverted murderous lunatics in the foggy city where there is no sunshine all year round and life is full of depression.

These madmen have all kinds of hobbies, because those who have no characteristics will not be remembered by the well-informed residents of Fog City. Only the unique ones can leave a trace in the increasing legends of Fog City. .

There are countless murderers in the history of Fog City who like to work in heavy fog or rainy nights, and dozens of them appear every year.

This has still been discovered. Even the residents of Fog City cannot tell how many high-IQ murderers have not been discovered, so this undoubtedly makes it more difficult for the three of them to collect intelligence.

Through visits during the day, the three of them collected some intelligence, but after putting the collected intelligence together, the three of them were dumbfounded.

Unless the Rainy Night Butchers are a murderous squad, they don't fit the bill at all.

The tall and thin Yuye Butcher, covered with bandages and armed with two sharp knives.

A tall and strong Yuye Butcher wearing an apron and holding a machete.

The Rainy Night Butcher, who is short in stature, has a cowardly expression, and has two hidden claws.

The tall and hot Rainy Night Butcher wearing a red dress and using huge scissors.

This is a relatively detailed description, and there are countless others that you can tell are bragging as soon as you hear it, such as the weird Rainy Night Butcher who rides a dream demon, a black dragon, a succubus, a lolita, etc. I know it's unreliable.

However, what caught the attention of Hadir and Jinx was a recent rumor that the other party was a polite-looking gentleman who did not carry a knife but an umbrella. He would ask passers-by some questions and answer them incorrectly. People will be killed without mercy.

This statement aroused the ridicule of many people. After all, there is no butcher on a rainy night who does not bring a knife. This is as ridiculous as going to the Wild Succubus Tavern without bringing money.

"Although it is ridiculous, it is the most suspicious." Hadir touched his chin with some soft whiskers and expressed his opinion.

The taciturn Hammer didn't need to ask for his opinion. He was cleaning a sledgehammer for blacksmithing.

Hearing this, Jinx nodded in agreement, because the other descriptions were mixed with too many personal factors, just like the horror stories passed down by word of mouth, with a standard template, which was not in line with the real situation, because of such a conspicuous appearance There's no way to hide it.

On the other hand, polite nobles who carry umbrellas are not likely to attract the attention of others, because such people can be seen everywhere in the foggy city, and because of their status, it is difficult to stop them for questioning, so they are the most suspicious.

However, other information cannot be ignored, so the three of them are once again entangled. What does the murderer look like?
After an unknown amount of time, the three drowsy people heard the sound of raindrops hitting the windows.Hadir quietly opened some of the curtains, and after noticing that it was raining outside, he turned and nodded to the two of them.

Silently packing up their things, the three of them put on waterproof cloaks, tied up their trousers, and then walked out of the temporary hotel. Behind them was the hotel owner who looked like a dead man. Obviously, as a local snake, he was very aware of what was happening around him during this period. matter, and Gentleman Rainy Night Butcher was the one who provided the information.

It's a pity that the other party didn't provide more clues, because curiosity and knowing too much will lead to short-lived things.

After walking out of the hotel, he took a deep breath of the cold, vaporous air. He suddenly became more energetic. Hadir held a lantern and did not dare to turn the light to the maximum. In fact, even if it was turned to the maximum, it would be of no use. There is no benefit other than making oneself more conspicuous. It is just used to prevent the three of them from getting lost.

This is no joke. Given the conditions in the foggy city, it often happens that only one person in a family of three is left walking.

Fortunately, as the raindrops fell, the fog reduced a lot, making the view a little better. However, the feeling of rain falling on the body was not very good, and it tended to get heavier and heavier.

Given the conditions in the foggy city, it was common for it to rain for ten days and a half, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier, which also caused some trouble for them.

Huge raindrops hit the ground, splashing more water droplets in the puddles, making the three people's shoes and trouser legs wet. In addition, the rain seeping in from the gaps in the cloaks made the three people feel cold.

Although this is the south, the special location of the foggy city and the special environment cause the temperature here to be about ten degrees lower than other places in the south. If it rains at night, the temperature will be even lower, enough to make a drunkard lying on the street hypothermic. And die.

Fortunately, the three of them had gone through the demon blood ritual, and their bodies were stronger than ordinary people. Although they were uncomfortable, they would not get sick, so they continued to patrol along the street. When they reached the end of the street, they turned to the next street to continue, where they were also patrolling. range.

The ground on that street where it rained heavily just now began to accumulate water, and the water pouring into the sewer mouth made a gurgling sound. However, the fog on this street was so thick that it seemed that it could not be melted away. There was not a drop of rain, but the penetration of the fog was stronger than that of the raindrops. It was even harder to resist, and the three of them shuddered in unison.

"Hell!" Yao wanted to maintain the appearance of a wise leader, but the bad environment still made Hadir curse, because the fog here was so thick that even he couldn't look down at the lantern in his hand. Clear, not even the feet can be seen. In this case, even if the murder happened next to them, they probably wouldn't be discovered.

At this time, Jinx remembered that a special luminous plant she saw in the garden could emit light that penetrated the fog. However, when facing an unknown opponent, exposing herself to the light was obviously not a good idea, so she just summoned a A fiery pea shooter with the ability to track enemies independently, and nut armor for protection.

The nut armor can be split from a whole into hundreds of pieces to protect the summoner. It can also enhance defense or repair damage through magic power. When necessary, it can quickly proliferate the nut shell by injecting more magic power to increase defense. It is a life-saver for rookies like Jinx. Artifact.

Just in case, Jinx spent more magic power to summon two nuts and handed them to Hadir and the hammer.

"When you encounter danger, squeeze hard and it will turn into armor to protect you, but the time it can last is limited, and the more things are destroyed, the less time you can hold on."

Although they didn't know what it was, Hadir and Hammer put it away carefully. After all, as newcomers, they were very poor. They could only rely on Jinx, who could tell at a glance that her life was better than theirs.

But the luck of the three people was not good. At dawn, they found a long-dead body in an alley on the street where the hotel was located. Apparently the Rainy Night Butcher passed by them last night, which made them want to make a decision. Hadir was a little frustrated after the results.
