The Elder Scrolls: Celestial Dynasty

Aya didn't return home until nightfall.

It started to snow in the middle of the night last night, and the fluttering snowflakes didn't stop until the morning.

The entire snow-covered city was covered in silver, including the mountains and woods outside the city.

The cold brought by the snowfall stopped many animals, which also had a certain impact on the hunt, and the hunters wandered around the mountains and forests for a day, but only a few pheasants and hares were hunted, but fortunately at dusk, a stupid spore finally could not bear to come out to feed, and fell under the hunters' arrows.

She shifted the position of one of the spore legs she carried on her shoulder, and although it was a little heavy, her heart was happy.

What can those two guys eat well in the academy? It's almost the end of the year, and they should be back too, so they can give them a good tooth sacrifice when the time comes.

Far away, she saw her father leaning against the door and watching, she walked a few steps quickly to her father, and complained: "It will freeze your body on such a cold day, father, I have said that I am already an adult, you don't have to worry." The

old man smiled and removed the spore leg from her shoulder and took it to the kitchen.

On the table in the house, Ah Bao had already prepared a meal, and the thick millet porridge was steaming hot, and after drinking a bowl, the whole body warmed up.

"Sister, when you came back so late today, my father was a little worried about you.

"Don't worry, I can cut it down in the face of a wolf now, and besides, I'm not alone, there are other hunters."

Ah Bao shook his head while drinking porridge and said, "It's not that I'm worried about the beast, you don't know yet, today another young girl died in the city, and the butcher appeared again."

Aya put down the porridge bowl in her hand and frowned, "This is the third in a month." Who is the deceased?"It

seems to be the waitress of the Hunter's House, Cuihua, whose head has also been cut off, but someone recognizes the green cotton dress with flowers she is wearing.

Aya said in surprise: "She is only seventeen or eighteen years old, I was at the hunter's house the night before yesterday, and she poured me wine... No, I'm going to have to go and see, where is going on?"

she said, standing up and hurrying out.

Ah Bao hurriedly grabbed the dawn sword that was put aside and shouted, "Sister, bring the sword, at the cemetery in the south of the city." "

Chengnan Cemetery, inaccessible on weekdays, overgrown with dead grass, bare branches stretching out to the sky in the night, like white hands growing from graves.

A large stone slab with ice and snow still left was stained with blood, and the guard holding a torch next to him was pressing the iron sword at his waist with one hand, and shouted impatiently at the four or five good deeds around him: "On such a cold day, why are you all gathered here if you don't go home and get into the bed to hug your wife?

Aya squeezed in front of him and recognized him as a homeless man living in a ruined temple, so she asked, "Did you see the murderer?"

The homeless man seemed to have answered many such questions, shrugged his shoulders skillfully and pouted and replied: "I heard a scream, and then there was no sound, at first I thought I had heard it wrong, and when I thought about going over to take a look, I only saw the back of a person, and ran away in a panic, he was wearing a robe and a hat, I couldn't see his face... Ay...... The poor little girl's head has been cut off..."

Aya turned her head to the guards guarding the scene and asked, "What about the Cuihua people?"

The guards looked her up and down, saw that she had a long sword hanging from her waist, and called out the name of the victim, so he did not reprimand, and replied honestly: "I have already carried it to the mortuary, and there is a coroner there... I advise you to save some effort, after all,

it is a human homicide case, and no idle people can approach..."Aya raised her eyebrows and said with a cold face: "Since you know that it is a human homicide case, the same tragedy has happened a month ago, but until now, what have you done? Even the magistrate didn't even show up, did you just let this cold-blooded butcher kill everywhere and make everyone in the city panic?"

The guard blushed and retorted, "Who said it didn't do anything? The palace has long called in a fortune teller to find the murderer, and the sheriff who was chasing the prisoner fell off his horse a few days ago, broke his leg, and is still lying in the hospital bed."

"Hmph, let the soothsayer find the murderer!"

Aya sneered, "Who is in charge of handling the case now?

"Go ahead, it's our head of the guard, Lord Mulan, who is on duty. "
