Meet the principal

The servant came over and continued.

"A few decades ago, North was not a tourist city like it is now, and the income of city residents was not as high as it is now. At that time, except for fishermen, almost no one would come to this beach."

His voice was a little soft. Although it was early in the morning, as the servant narrated, the entire living room was enveloped in a strange atmosphere.

"It is said that at that time, the bandit group in the city would rob some returning fishermen. They would kidnap the fishermen when they landed, take away valuables, and then brutally kill them, and the bodies would be piled up In a corner of the beach where people don’t normally come.”

"Grand, these are just rumors from the countryside. They have no credibility at all."

Joe couldn't help but say that at first he thought the servant had some important information, but he didn't expect that he was actually telling a ghost story.

"Mr. Qiao, I think it's okay to listen to what he has to say."

Reiner said, signaling the servant named Grand to continue.

"Uh, what did I just say? Oh, right, corpses. These corpses were piled on the rocks, washed by the sea, gradually rotted, and finally sank into the sea. But these fishermen had deep resentment when they died, so Their souls could not rest in peace, and after years of saving, they became ghosts, looking for their families.”

After Grand finished speaking, the servants around him were all silent. Obviously, they also knew this legend.

"You mean, that dark figure is actually these fishermen?"

Reiner spoke the meaning of Grand's words.

"Yes, these fishermen are kind-hearted in nature, so they will not harm others. They just want to find their families, so they wander around here."

Grand said confidently, as if he had seen the true form of those black shadows with his own eyes.

"So Mr. Grand, where and when did you see the shadow before?"

Reiner didn't ask too much about the ghost story, but turned to the normal questioning session.

"Uh, yes, the black shadow, it was three days ago. That day I was vigiling with two other people. In the middle of the night, I went to the toilet alone and saw the black shadow in the backyard. At first I was still I didn't notice it, but after passing it, I suddenly realized that it was too much,

The black shadow flew past me, and I smelled the fishy smell of sea water. Then, we brought a light and searched for a long time, but there was no trace of the black shadow. Oh, by the way, there was some water in the backyard. The stain, I think it must have been left by the ghost. "

This Grand seems to really enjoy telling stories, adding many details that are unknown to be true or false.

"Sea water?"

Reiner had some ideas, but more information was needed.

He then asked several other servants and finally got some conclusions.

First of all, this black shadow only appears in the backyard at night. It can move at high speeds on the ground and has extremely strong jumping and reaction abilities. It is almost impossible to catch it. Its first sighting was recorded a month ago.

Secondly, as Sophinet said, this black shadow will not come into contact with humans, nor will it destroy or steal things. It is like coming here for a walk, suddenly appearing and disappearing, and the detection circle did not capture it. Any trace of humanity.

Finally, in the descriptions of several people, this black shadow has a fishy smell of sea water. At the same time, water stains are often found in the places where it passes. The water is all sea water, and its composition seems to be no different from ordinary water.

"Mr. Iain Gray, did you find anything?"

Joe asked the servants who had been questioned to go to work normally, and then asked Reiner.

"Well, I have some guesses."

The quill floating beside Reiner stopped writing, the notebook fell into his hand, and other stationery went into the storage bag.

"At this point, I don't think this is a ghost, and certainly not a human being."

His words made Qiao frown slightly and fell into thinking.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ian Gray. I'm too stupid to understand what you mean."

"Haha, Mr. Qiao, don't forget that humans are not the only creatures in this world."

Reiner pointed at the vast sea in the distance.

"I think the black shadow's identity should be some kind of creature in the sea."

"From the sea?"

Joe was born in the inland area, but he has also lived in North for more than 20 years. He has not only eaten all kinds of strange sea creatures, but has at least seen them. He has never heard of anything similar to this black shadow. Biological existence.

"This villa has always been guarded by servants, but it was only a month ago that the black shadow appeared. This proves that the black shadow did not exist around here in the past, at least not around this villa."

Reiner explained.

"The detection array did not find any traces of strange humans, which actually shows that the black shadow is not human in nature. Combined with other characteristics, such as extremely fast speed, strong jumping power, and excellent reflexes, then we can roughly outline Characteristics of this creature.”

He opened a page of his notebook, which contained various records and summaries.

"This is an amphibious creature with a certain degree of camouflage and hiding abilities. It has extremely high agility on land and is not big. But why did it come to a villa some distance from the beach? Not sure."

Most creatures have more or less territorial awareness, and there are only a few purposes for their movement. They are either breeding or foraging, or migrating due to climate reasons. Judging from the fact that there is no shortage of things in the villa, that creature is not For those who come here to look for food, this is not a good place for breeding, and the climate is out of the question.

"Mr. Joe, is there an owl here to deliver letters? I need to write a letter."

Reiner closed his notebook and asked the butler beside him.

"Of course there is. "

Joe nodded. Since Sophie had studied magic, she naturally set up owl messengers in the places where she often went. In fact, the relationship between the Sophie family and some mages was not just as simple as clients. .

Reiner arrived in the room first, spent about fifteen minutes writing a letter and handed it to the owl for delivery, and then walked out of the mansion.

The investigation on the black shadow has made some progress, and the remaining work can only be carried out after receiving the letter. Reiner calculated that with luck, the results will not be available until the evening.

After finishing these tasks, it was time for Reiner to focus on the main topic of this trip, which was to enjoy the sea.

Following the repaired road next to the villa, Lena walked down the sea cliff and came to the private beach of Sofinite's house. This beach was close to the Silver Desert, but it seemed extremely empty.

On the beach, several girls were playing.
