The Truth of Magic

Chapter 519 The real culprit of the infection

Zhao Xu's scrying vision, which detects undead, was aroused in Zhao Xu's eyes, faintly glowing.

It's just that he started from the drunk man on the edge of the corner, all the way to the butler of the hotel, wherever he looked, everything was as usual.

nothing.

There are no undead creatures, or the opponent has blocked detection spells.

Or, it wasn't the vampire itself.

"Get out of the way!" Suddenly, a scolding sound came from the door.

The crowd in the corridor of the hotel, which was still somewhat crowded, was pushed away by a group of new patrolling guards, led by a tall and thin warrior.

He was still yawning, but when he saw the fallen body, his expression became serious, and he turned his head and asked, "Have you notified the coroner?"

"We're almost there." The butler of the hotel said nervously.

For them, it's okay to die in a fight, and the tavern's grievances and taverns are settled, so naturally no one will go to the guards on purpose.

But this kind of accidental death means that their hotel has to spend a lot of money.

And the few players who rarely join in the fun in the tavern downstairs did not expect such a murder case to break out in the hotel above.

It's just that the patrol captain didn't pay attention to the noise of the players. He just calmly glanced at the dozens of people who came to join in the fun, and silently remembered the figures of everyone, thinking about whether there were any suspicious objects.

During the period, several hooligans who had been friends with each other by eating and drinking also held beer glasses, and the people who walked over to the patrol team joined in the fun and inquired about their news by the way.

Vivian stood silently behind Zhao Xu at this moment, suppressing the urge to use "detect evil" in her body.

As for the white dragon Serus, he looked at the scene in front of him boredly.

To put it bluntly, for it, death is a common occurrence on the ice sheet mountain range.

If a person dies like this, he will have to go to the funeral every day.

"The rhythm of you humans is really making a fuss every day." Cyrus complained to Zhao Xu.

To be honest, the two of them had just wiped out a vampire's corpse, and seeing a group of people making a fuss over a human corpse, it somewhat didn't turn around in its mind.

"You have to look at the location. You are now in a human town." Zhao Xu said, "If you were in our world, it would only be more exaggerated."

When Zhao Xu was explaining the difference to Bai Long, his mind suddenly turned sharply, and his eyes gradually became sharper.

Vampires may not be the only ones who can leave blood holes in their necks.

At this time, the coroner also escaped from the warm bed in the middle of the snowy night and rushed to the scene reluctantly.

The crowd watching the excitement did not disperse, and the patrol team gathered the corpse after investigating the situation at the scene.

"Look at the place where the corpse just fell, and look at the scratches on the ground. One of them is not a natural trace. It must have been done intentionally by the deceased before he died."

A rare player who stayed in the hotel without going offline in the middle of the night commented.

"Your premise is that they know each other." Another person retorted on the spot.

In an instant, the opinions of the three or four people who came together came together, "No, you can describe the characteristics of the murderer even if you don't know him."

"You are awesome, you can use a scratch to show me what human characteristics can be revealed."

"Maybe it means straight hair."

"You are messing around."

The coroner listened to the arguments of several players who stood close and kept bickering, which constantly affected his new life. He immediately couldn't help but annoyed, "Be quiet."

This stopped a few people from arguing.

After checking the wound several times, he nodded and concluded, "I guess, this is—"

"Mouse." Suddenly, a half-orc in the corner said loudly.

The coroner stared at the half-orc carefully, then nodded and said, "That's right, the wound was bitten by the rat's teeth."

"What?"

"Just kidding."

"How can it be?"

Everyone made unbelievable voices.

Although the deceased who fell to the ground at this time did not look like that kind of strong physique, his basic physique was above the average level. How could he die as soon as he was bitten by a mouse.

With the plague at that time, it was too fast.

"No, how could a mouse bite such wide-spaced tooth marks." The ranger player who participated in the truth at first retorted. At this time, he walked to the side of the deceased and looked at the wound again.

The relatives of the deceased had fainted just now and were not awake yet.

The half-orc who made the assertion just now laughed out loud on the spot, matching his loud voice, almost made the doors and windows shake.

Orcs are one of seven races the player can choose from.

They are so numerous that they are only below the three popular races of humans, elves, and dwarves, and above halflings, half-elves, and gnomes.

Half-orcs are essentially the offspring of the combination of humans and orcs. In addition to the orc tribes, the human community will accept half-orcs.

However, the orc's chain armor with a huge ax and the fighter tattoo on his chest clearly made him a "barbarian".

It was also because of his status that the drunkards present did not dare to scold him rashly.

Otherwise, half-orcs are more or less rejected by civilized society with their original characteristics of dark complexion, sloping forehead, protruding jaw, exposed teeth and rough body hair.

At this time, all eyes in the tavern fell on the half-orc barbarian, waiting for his answer.

"Who is this time?"

"I don't know it, I guess it's from outside."

"It should be a player too. A half-orc who has been promoted to a barbarian can't analyze rationally." The player in the corner commented.

After all, the nicknames of the barbarian profession are "berserker" and "fighter", not "wise man" of the "mage" profession.

At this time, the barbarian player realized that everyone was attracted by him, and he looked at the body that had fallen on the ground and gradually turned cold and said, "Beastman can do this."

"Beastman?"

At this time, everyone in the hallway felt creepy.

The oldest legend about lycanthropy is the "werewolf".

A lycanthropy, a humanoid or giant human being that can transform into an animal, is not itself limited to humans.

"It's actually a lycanthropy." Cyrus also said with emotion at this time.

They are all preconceived.

All were directed to the nearest vampire without close examination of the wound.

But it was a little dazed at this moment, "Beastman, is it powerful?"

Zhao Xu shook his head, "In animal form, the lycanthropy is like a stronger animal, that's all."

"What are the general ones?" Cyrus had never been in contact with lycanthropes on the ice field before, so he was somewhat curious.

"Bear people, tiger people, werewolves, wild boar people, etc., including the rat people mentioned by the other party just now." Zhao Xu explained.

"It sounds like a bunch of rubbish." White Dragon Cyrus couldn't help but puffed light smoke through his two nostrils and said, "Then what are they afraid of? It's unlikely that lycanthropes can attack the city Bar."

No matter how powerful a monster is, it will like the sense of security in a human town, and here it is, there is no need to be wary of cold arrows that may be shot around at any time.

"That's the theory." Zhao Xu corrected, "But this"

"The key point is that after being attacked by a lycanthropy, it is possible to be infected with 'lycanthropy', and then become the same kind of lycanthropy, and at the same time have the ability to spread."

"Even future generations will only be lycanthropes, that is, born lycanthropes." Zhao Xu said, "This is a kind of eternal curse."

"So that's how it is." White Dragon Cyrus also said with emotion.

In this way, looking at vampires with many shortcomings, they are better.

If it's a "vampire", maybe there are still ignorant girls posting it. But if you change to a lycanthropy, especially a relatively wretched rat man, you will definitely be disgusted and rejected, and you will be afraid of being infected by it.

At this moment, the relative of the deceased slowly woke up. She looked at her husband who was already frozen and stiff, and cried loudly on the spot: "You are dead, what should we do?"

"You clearly promised me, and our child has just been born... What do you want me to do?"

For a moment, the incomparably bleak voice of the deceased's wife penetrated the area, causing the eyes of several female players present to fumble for their wallets.

"Mr. Savage, do you have a way to find the murderer and avenge the dead?" Suddenly, a question came from the crowd in the audience.

At this time, the barbarian Nu Lang who was standing on the stage couldn't help showing embarrassment.

In fact, he just came up to throw stones to ask for directions, and he just showed his hand when he encountered a problem that he happened to know, and by the way, he wanted to brush up the favorability of the residents.

As for finding the real murderer to solve the case, it was not something he was good at.

"Fool."

At this time, the female druid player Red Maple Leaf, also a member of Pale Dawn, sneered secretly.

In her view, the problem cannot be really solved, and it is meaningless for her companions to analyze the conclusions that others are about to draw.

She also glanced at the crowd present, secretly thinking about the solution.

"President, I want to avenge this poor widow." At this moment, Vivienne's voice became indifferent and full of murderous intent.

The "Holy Avenger" in her hand suddenly flashed again, lighting up the corridor.

"It's not impossible." Suddenly, the barbarian on the stage shouted angrily, "The lycanthropy has the ability to reduce damage, and can only be broken by silver-plated weapons. If everyone is willing to accept it, give everyone a knife Make a wound on the palm of your hand, and whoever heals it immediately will be the one."

"Where is this silly player?"

This is Bai Long almost yelling.

They are a group of powerful creatures, none of them have a damage reduction ability.

When Zhao Xu heard this bad idea, he couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

Cyrus and Viviana both have damage reduction abilities.

He didn't. The point is that even if he gave up his defense, the opponent would not be able to penetrate his "force field armor" (cassock + shield technique) that added up to rank 12 in terms of armor and shield defense alone.

Even if it is successfully cut through, it still depends on whether it is a magic weapon. If it is not, the damage is not even eligible to pass through his star cloak.

And watching Zhao Xu walk up to the front desk silently, all eyes immediately fell on him.

"Which onion is this again?"

"I don't know, is it a mage wearing a robe?"

"It's probably a player, but as far as the player's three-legged cat spell is concerned, can it be used?"
