Helping each other with countless me
Chapter 278 The one who tied the bell must untie it
Solomon is dead.
This news spread like the wind throughout the city of Paslo.
Solomon is a new noble.
The so-called new nobles are the rich people who emerged after the steam revolution.
They are not like the old nobles, who have ancient heritage. They could have been of any identity, and after seizing the opportunity, they soared to the sky.
Compared with the old nobles, they lack the foundation, but they are not rigid. They can always come up with some new ideas. For example, most of the steam machinery on the market is basically developed by the new nobles.
And these things have greatly improved efficiency.
Of course, this is not the point.
The point is that Solomon was really killed.
His subordinates have a whole mercenary group to protect his safety, and this mercenary group is very famous and powerful, but no one found the sound of fighting, and no one even saw the silhouette of the mercenary group.
It's as if this mercenary group suddenly disappeared.
"Someone has distorted all of us."
In the bar.
Sophia shook the red wine glass in her hand, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.
It started from the mission hung here a year ago.
All of them, even Solomon himself, seemed to have not noticed that the mercenary group protecting him disappeared. Everyone
"What on earth can do such a terrible thing?"
"How do I know, anyway."
Li Zhongren looked at the deed in front of him.
"So, this piece of land is my reward?"
"Yes."
Sophia nodded and looked at the young man in front of her.
"This piece of land, and the villa of the down-and-out noble in the inner city, but the villa has been in disrepair for a long time, and no one has taken care of it for more than a year. If you want to live in it, you may need to clean it up. By the way, you didn't take the money from Solomon's family."
"No."
"That's good."
Sophia exhaled.
"As long as the battle between nobles does not happen in the city or does not cause any impact, neither the empire nor the city lord will pursue the feud between nobles. In their words, it is dog-eat-dog. If you kill him and rob his money, the empire will definitely cause trouble for you."
"I see."
Li Zhongren took a sip of milk and nodded slightly. He knew that this was a means for the empire to check and balance the extraordinary people. In a world with an extraordinary world, the probability of blood splashing five steps when a common man gets angry will be more frequent.
And, especially when targeting those rich people to kill, it is even more so. Killing you and robbing your money is so easy.
However, this will destroy the development and structure of the empire.
Let's talk about it.
There is no good thing about capitalists. If there is one, it is not wrong to shoot them.
But the existence of capital is indeed the engine of the economic cycle.
Therefore, if the extraordinary people are allowed to kill and rob money, then this world should not think about development.
And the current rule is very interesting.
First, a safe zone is set for you. Stay in the safe zone to ensure your safety.
Second, revenge killings outside the safe zone are allowed, but after killing someone, you cannot touch the other person's property.
This only leaves the outlet for the Avengers. If other people want to fish in troubled waters, they will be targeted by the Empire.
Mission: Sophia's curiosity.
Mission description: The bar owner, Sophia is very curious. It is obvious that he will not be in danger as long as he stays in the city, but this person actually built a secret passage leading to the outside of the city, and took the initiative to run out of the city. In addition, the people who protected him disappeared, so she was very curious, who did all this?
Mission difficulty: Epic.
"Eh? It's an epic mission."
Looking at the mission with a crimson glow, Li Zhongren couldn't help rubbing his hands in his heart.
The previous mission of assassinating Solomon allowed him to level up three levels in a row, and this epic mission, if not handled well, can even directly push him to level ten.
"Accept."
Li Zhongren said silently in his heart.
"So, little brother, you are also interested, so do you want to investigate for your sister? If you are paid, you will be satisfied."
"Okay."
As the saying goes, the person who tied the bell must be the one who untied it.
If you want to find out the truth about this matter, you have to sort out the case from the beginning.
There are four people involved in this matter.
First, the dead nobleman.
Second, the nobleman's daughter.
Third, the boss of Violet
Fourth, of course, is Solomon
One and two have turned to dust.
Three, there is no way to investigate for the time being.
So, Li Zhongren decided to start with four.
He planned to give Solomon an autopsy, and wherever he went, there would be traces.
Although this hypnosis seemed to have affected everyone, Li Zhongren still keenly discovered through investigation that this was not the case. Those who did not know about the incident were not affected. In other words, this was a directional or halo.
So, Li Zhongren took out Solomon's body and placed it on the stone platform.
"Brother Li Harry, it's your turn."
"Here I come..."
Li Harry descended into the world again, looking at the corpse in front of him, waving the magic wand in his hand, and inspecting the corpse bit by bit.
After a long time, he spoke.
"His body does have traces of someone using forgetfulness magic. This is a halo skill, and it even has a little causal chain. As long as you know about him, you will default to losing that memory under hypnosis today, and it is not just a simple It’s not a blunt loss, but a very smooth transition that is difficult for anyone to notice.”
"development!"
With that said, Harry Li flicked his wand.
A ray of light illuminated the corpse, attracting something inside the corpse.
Then, the body turned into dust, and a ball of light appeared in Li Zhongren's hand.
"What is this?"
Harry Li left, and Li Zhongren took over his body again. Looking at the ball of light in his palm that seemed to have condensed into a solid object, he asked curiously.
"Twisting the remnants of his power, you can use it as a compass. Follow it, and you can find that person, or something else."
"I see."
Hearing this, Li Zhongren nodded.
Of course, he could give this thing directly to Sophia and the task would be completed, but he didn't plan to do that. He wanted to take a look first.
After accepting the mission, he investigated the identity of the down-and-out noble and found that he had not done anything outrageous, so he went to complete the commission. Likewise, this person who helped the down-and-out noble could be considered a good person in theory. He wants to see the identity of the other person first, and then make a decision. If his behavior will lead to his exposure, then he would rather not complete the task.
If not, he could secretly tell Sophia the identity of this person. After all, Sophia was considered a good person, otherwise she wouldn't have been hung up on that mission for a year. She was just out of curiosity.
There is also
Pull out the radish and puree it.
Li Zhongren glanced at the corpse that had been scattered into dust, and took out a letter from his arms. This was given to him by Sophia. He accepted the task and killed Solomon. This matter has become a fact, and Solomon's family has also Planning to seek revenge against him, or more accurately, his brother, Salumen.
Both brothers climbed up from the bottom. They were once the bottom people. In the process of climbing up, they could sacrifice everything except each other.
It's very touching and inspiring. They think so too, and they believe in the law of the jungle.
Therefore, Li Zhongren felt that the elder brother had violated his beliefs. Murderers should always be killed——
Looking at this field, Lawrence felt calm in his heart.
He killed the adulterer and the adulterous couple, but there was only emptiness in his heart. After all, that was what he once cherished most, but now there is nothing here.
But now, looking at the golden waves of wheat, he felt an indescribable feeling of comfort.
This land was bought by him.
It was not that easy in the first place. Only when he came to Pasluo did he find out that he wanted to buy land. The good land here had long been bought up by the nobles. However, by coincidence, a new-style noble in the local area was killed.
He had no descendants, so his property was confiscated.
It was said that he had a biological brother. However, when the other party wanted to come over and take over the inheritance, the lord of Pasluo City refused because the other party could not provide evidence that the other party was his biological brother.
The reason is also very simple. The body is gone, and all means of verifying identity are no longer available.
Therefore, these lands were re-auctioned by the city lord.
He was lucky enough to buy a piece of land. However, to be cautious, he bought a relatively remote piece of land. Anyway, he didn't want to be rich and wealthy. He just wanted to be a farmer here and retire here. He planned to build a house here. A manor, hire a few servants, and live there forever.
"What's that?"
Suddenly, Lawrence noticed that something seemed to be moving in the wheat field ahead, making a swishing sound.
"Is it some kind of beast?"
"Probably not."
Lawrence knew that since humans opened up fields here, there are no wild beasts in these areas. The wild beasts seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and have all gone to the jungle or grassland.
Even if there are, they are only some small animals, such as coyotes, a guy that even dogs can't beat.
However, Lawrence still took out his revolver.
Lying on it will make you feel more at ease.
furry ears
Is it really a coyote?
Toward, Lawrence raised his pistol. He didn't intend to kill the coyote. After all, it could only eat a few chickens, but a beast was a beast, and he didn't want to get his hands on it. In this era, being injured was a bad thing. thing, so if the coyote attacked him, he would just kill him.
Then, a head came out.
"people??"
"Orc?"
"Orc??"
Lawrence put down his pistol and looked at the girl emerging from the wheat field.
He looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, but his figure is very petite.
She has long, fluffy ears and wears simple clothes, but the most attractive thing is the fluffy fiery red tail on her butt.
Swinging in the air, like a ball of fire.
"Who are you?"
Lawrence asked.
The country he is in is called the Char Empire.
As its name suggests, the country is an empire established by Char I. However, in the location of Char's empire, it is rare to see orcs or half-orcs. They are all races found only in the far north.
Now, he actually saw an orc loli in his rice field?
"We are Holo."
The girl stood up and dusted herself off.
"Of course, they also like to call me the Harvest Wolf."
"Harvest Wolf?"
A city has its own customs. In this backward era, many so-called customs are inseparable from the local soil, so most people must have never heard of this custom in Pasluo City.
But Lawrence is different. As a businessman, traveling around is his basic job. In the past, he was also very talkative and could talk to anyone. Apart from his personality, it was mostly to gain information. , after all, in business, intelligence comes first.
Just like once, he accidentally got a piece of news from a local farmer and saw the carts of lead ore being pulled into the workshop. He was keen and immediately noticed a problem. A city intends to mint inferior currency.
So, he hurriedly dumped all the currency in the city in his hands to avoid losses.
Naturally, and because of this, he had heard of the legend of the Harvest Wolf.
However, when he saw the beautiful girl in front of him, he couldn't help but hesitate.
"Are you really the Harvest Wolf?"
"That's natural. We won't lie to you. Let's not talk about this anymore. Please take me out of here quickly."
"ah??"
"Ah, what, my intuition tells me that someone is following me. If it were in the past, I would not be afraid, but now, there are fewer and fewer people who believe in us, and our power is also declining, so we can only leave. Here, in fact, we also have this plan to change to another place."
"Can this be replaced?"
"That's natural. However, I want to go to those places where there are many farmers. Those big machines can't do it. The more people sing about me, the more strength I can regain."
"Then you might have to go somewhere far away."
Lawrence said.
"The entire Char Empire is implementing a steam revolution. Maybe you may want to go to more remote countries."
"That doesn't matter, but the only problem is that we can't leave here alone."
"What's the meaning?"
"We are the guardian spirits born on this land. If we want to leave, someone needs to bring a bag of soil from this land to let us leave. So, will you help us?"
With that said, the girl came to Lawrence. The fragrance of wheat fields hit her face, and she also had a pair of big, watery eyes.
Lawrence looked a little crazy.
So cute words popped into my mind.
Then, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and flew out directly. Not only him, but also the girl.
The two fell heavily to the ground together.
Not far away, a man wearing knight armor led a woman wearing a robe, and the two walked over.
"I didn't expect that a guardian spirit could be born in such a remote place."
the man said.
"So, Rose, is she the one who twisted the soul of her employer's brother?"
