Chapter 122 Abandoned Son
  I saw that the other party seemed to be very happy that Ren had killed the monster, and a faint smile appeared on the originally sad and dull face.

This slowed down Ren's action of taking out the 'holy water' from his pocket.

But after thinking about it, Ren took out the holy water and held it in his hand.

Seemingly aware of the energy contained in the holy water, the girl glanced at the holy water in Ren's hand. She immediately looked horrified, swung her hands in front of her chest, and an ethereal and panicked voice sounded:
  "Warrior, don't hurt me. I'm not a bad person."

Ok?
  Can talk?
  But why is this voice so familiar?

It seemed like the female voice that just reminded me to run quickly? Renxin said.

At this time, the fog seemed to begin to fade a little, and the girl's figure became a little clearer.
  However, when Ren took a closer look, he realized that the other party's body had an unreal feeling. After the fog gradually dissipated, it became more transparent.

Ren thought for a while and said slowly: "Can you understand what I'm saying?"

The girl nodded.

Ren felt relieved and continued to ask: "Did you remind me to run away just now?"

"Yes, warrior. But I didn't expect you to be so powerful. You killed this fog demon directly." The girl seemed to be getting more and more conscious, her facial expression was no longer dull, and her speech became more fluent.

"That monster just now was called the Mist Demon?" Ren asked.

"Well, I heard that the previous bounty hunter called the monster a fog monster before he died. It can control dense fog, and it likes to be in thick fog, and suddenly attacks humans. It is difficult for ordinary people to resist it. attack."

"What about you? What's going on? You remind me to run quickly, but you also attract my attention every time this fog monster attacks me. It seems that you are helping it attack me! "Ren asked rhetorically.

"I'm sorry! Warrior, I. I was controlled by the mist demon before and had to do these things."

"I'm really sorry!" The girl's expression became sad again, and she began to sob slowly.

Ren waved his hand and did not dwell on the issue any longer, but continued to ask:

"How did you become what you are now?"

"By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Agatha! I don't know what happened. When I woke up again, I looked like this." The girl in the spirit state replied.

The other party's name made Ren immediately think that this mill was called Agatha's Mill. Immediately, Ren asked curiously: "Could it be that this mill is related to you?"

"Yes, warrior, this mill was originally run by me and my father."

As Agatha narrated, Ren understood the ins and outs of the whole thing.

It turned out that one day, Agatha was defiled by Colm Tucker, Baron Watson's butler. Agatha's father found out and had a dispute with Colm. Colm was furious and killed Agatha. and her father were killed and buried under two windmills.

Originally, this tragedy should have ended here.

But somehow, some strange changes occurred in the dead Agatha.

When Agatha woke up again, she found that she had become a ghost.

When Agatha was still confused, a fog demon attacked, and the opponent had the ability to control thick fog and spiritual bodies.

Therefore, after death, Agatha had to succumb to the other party's clutches and was forced to attract the attention of the victims so that the mist demon could launch a fatal blow from behind.

Ren nodded. It seemed that the rumored smell of rot and ghosts was not wrong.

At this time, Agatha hesitated for a while and said: "Warrior, can I make a request? If possible, can you help me get revenge?"

"I don't have any reward to give you. Maybe the brass ring on my corpse is the only thing I can get away with, but it doesn't seem to be enough to pay you."

Renn looked thoughtful, but did not immediately agree or refuse.

Although what Agatha said was true, her experience was indeed tragic, and Ren was willing to help, but he didn't want to end up causing trouble if things didn't go well.

Since the murderer was a baron's housekeeper, he was obviously highly valued and trusted by the baron. If he wanted to get the other party to confess, and at the same time get the baron to cooperate, he couldn't do it without using his brain.

A few seconds later, Ren said: "Agatha, tell me the whole thing in detail. Maybe we can find evidence that is beneficial to us."

"Even for me, it would be very difficult for a baron's butler to admit his crime directly."

Agatha nodded and immediately began to tell.

After listening to Agatha's story again, Ren left the windmill with the body of the fog monster.

As soon as he walked out of the mill, Ren glanced at the system prompts, his eyes flickering.

He didn't expect that the system would give him such a generous experience reward for just killing the mist demon.

[Your skill Giant Bear Swordsmanship has been improved, experience value +274]

[You have experienced a battle, knight (extraordinary) experience value +54]

Knight lv1 (86/100) is about to be upgraded at this time.

It seems that the experience points reward for this kind of monster is particularly generous. At least, in Renn's view, the fog demon's combat effectiveness is not strong, and it feels that it is not as good as Callaway, but the opponent's attacks are better because of their weirdness and surprise.

If you can grasp the entity revealed at the moment of the opponent's attack and inflict maximum damage, you can directly seriously injure it or even kill it with one blow.

Regarding Agatha's request, Renn already had a less mature plan in his mind.

There's no guarantee it will work, but Wren still plans to try.

And Gregory, who had returned from Watson Manor, had been waiting outside. When he saw Ren coming out, he said in surprise:

"Your Excellency Renn, seeing you return safely"

Suddenly, Gregory's voice stopped abruptly, because when he saw the corpse of the monster that Ren dragged out, his eyes widened in fear.

"There really is a monster! I thought it was a ghost. What an unreliable bounty hunter!" he murmured.

"Deacon Gregory, I have temporarily solved the problem of the mill. If I want a permanent solution once and for all, I need to meet with His Excellency Baron Watson." "Your Excellency Lane, do you want to see the Baron?"

"That's great. His Excellency the Baron just told me that he wants to meet you. At this moment, your Excellency should be at Watson Manor not far away."

Not long after, Gregory took Ren to Watson Manor not far away.

It turned out that Baron Watson happened to come from the county town to inspect the manor in the afternoon. He heard that someone was coming to solve the mill problem, so he planned to meet him.

"Lord Watson, it's an honor to meet you." Ren said slightly bowing.

Although he has now entered the realm of transcendence, he is not technically a noble yet, so basic etiquette must still be followed.

Baron Watson is a tall, middle-aged man, wearing a noble hunting attire, and the man wearing a black robe next to him should be the murderer Agatha mentioned - butler Colm.

Baron Watson looked at Renn with a smile and said, "Are you the newly extraordinary Renn? I didn't expect that you would be the one to solve this matter."

Renn was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that his transformation into the extraordinary would spread so quickly.

"Yes, Lord Baron. This time Lord Hamilton also told me about the mysterious incident that happened at Agatha's Mill. So far, I have solved it for the time being."

"For now?" Baron Watson frowned.

"Well, although I solved the murderer of the farmers and guards, the fog demon. However, the fundamental problem of Agatha's Mill has not been solved. There is another secret to this matter."

When Ren mentioned the word "secret", he glanced at the butler Colm on the side, and saw a trace of panic in his eyes.

"Huh? Renn, please elaborate." Apparently, Baron Watson looked confused after hearing the secret.

Then, Ren began to tell the story slowly.

"Agatha's tragic experience turned her into a resentful spirit, and continued to attract various monsters to Agatha's Mill. Therefore, only by letting the other party rest in peace can it be possible to restore Agatha's Mill to normal operation."

Hearing this, big beads of sweat began to appear on the head of housekeeper Colm.

"Ren, what happened to Agatha is really depressing. How can we let Agatha rest in peace? Are we going to capture the murderer? Are there any clues?"

"Lord Baron, there is no need to go to such trouble."

"Could it be that Ren, you know who the murderer is?" Baron Watson reacted and looked at Ren.

Ren nodded, looking directly at the trembling butler Colm, and said: "The murderer is right in front of you, Lord Baron."

Following Ren's eyes, Baron Watson looked doubtfully at the butler Colm standing beside him, which immediately surprised him and said:
  "What? Colm?"

"Sir Leren, this is the slander of that ghost, slander!" Butler Colm was trembling all over and his face was red. At this moment, although he was afraid of the transcendent Leanne, he still defended forcefully.

After thinking about it, the baron looked solemn and said.

"Ren, this matter still needs evidence. The ghost's words may not be credible."

Such a bad thing was actually done by someone around him, which made Baron Watson instinctively reluctant to believe it. Although, judging from the performance of butler Colm at this time, Baron Watson also knew about this matter. There is a high probability that it has something to do with Colm.

evidence?

Ren smiled.

This incident happened a few months ago. Without modern criminal investigation methods, only some kind of mysterious witchcraft could make the murderer honestly admit his crime.

Obviously, Renne does not have this ability now.

"Ren, I plan to completely close Agatha's Mill. As for Colm, I will also fire him." Baron Watson glanced at the butler Colm, then turned to look at Ren.

It seems that Baron Watson has already thought of a solution.

Merely dismissal, this punishment was minimal compared to Agatha and her father.

Fortunately, Ren was prepared.

"Lord Baron, maybe you think that if you do this, Agatha's ghost won't come back, right? But I heard that ghosts will mutate further and may even become wraiths!"

"In addition, the area of ​​Agatha's Mill may attract more monsters, and the distance between your manor and the mill is not far."

"Do you really not mind that things will get to that point? I'm afraid that even if you spend a lot of money to ask the church's senior officials to take action, it may not be able to solve this matter."

These words were temporarily made up by Renne based on some rumors he heard from Hamilton in the past few days, and they were mainly used as a 'threat'.

Baron Watson's face became increasingly ugly as Ren spoke.

He also heard what Ren said.

In addition, it is not so easy to ask senior officials to take action. Not only does it cost a lot of money, but it also requires a big favor.

The baron frowned and his eyes flickered, obviously weighing the pros and cons.

Although Colm, as a butler, has served the Watson family for many years and is relatively easy to use, he really didn’t know that the other party would do such a thing. The most important thing is that if this matter continues to develop, it is possible that The Watson family will suffer heavy losses.

Originally, he was thinking of minimizing the big issue, but now after hearing what Ren said, he hesitated.

But the housekeeper Colm looked pale at this time, his legs were trembling, and he was almost unsteady.

"Colm, go with Ren to Agatha's Mill and settle the matter." Baron Watson thought for a moment and then made a decision quickly.

Obviously, after listening to Lane's 'analysis', Baron Watson planned to give up on the butler Colm.

"Lord Baron, I am unjustly accused!" Butler Colm's originally burly body seemed to have been twitched by a snake on his spine, slumping to the ground.

"Lord Baron, you made a wise decision." Renn smiled.

I saw Renn picking up the back of Colm's neck, as if carrying a chicken, and walking towards Agatha's Mill.
