Trafford’s Trading Club

Sometimes far and sometimes near, as if they were in the fields or by the river, they could always be seen...the mother and son, soaked in the rain, clinging to each other on banana leaves.

shake.

"Klaus! Klaus! Cough...cough..."

"Ruan Ming?"

The moment he woke up, Klaus's hands were tightly squeezing Ruan Ming's neck - this was almost fatal.

He quickly let go of his hands, and Ruan Ming coughed in pain.

"I had a nightmare." Klaus frowned.

"Look...I can tell..." Ruan Ming gasped, "Are you okay? I heard that you suddenly fainted in front of my house..."

"It's nothing." Klaus shook his head: "It's you, why are you here...everything has been done?"

Ruan Ming shook his head with a dark expression and hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?" Klaus noticed something keenly.

Ruan Ming gritted his teeth and stretched out his palms. There was a button in his palm, "Klaus, when I was sorting out Grandpa's body, I found this in his hand..."

Klaus frowned and said thoughtfully, "What do you want to say?"

"This is not my grandpa's thing, but how could it be... How could grandpa hold on to it..." Ruan Ming grabbed Klaus's shoulders, his body was trembling a little, and his voice was trembling, "Klaus, you know... Whose thing does this belong to? Do you think...do you think it was possible that Grandpa fell down and it was not...an accident?"

Looking at the panicked young man, Klaus suddenly slapped his face hard with both hands.

"K-Klaus?"

"Leave this matter to me for now, okay? You just need to do what you need to do now, okay?" He stared closely into Ruan Ming's eyes, and his hand came from Ruan Ming's palm Slowly taking off the button, "Is that okay?"

Ruan Ming finally nodded tremblingly.

Klaus said: "Besides this button, have you discovered anything else? Or has anyone around you seen... strange things or anything like that?"

Ruan Ming tried to remember: "I will come hunting with you. After I came back...I stayed in the house after I came back. But...but my grandpa's things seem to have been turned over by someone..."

"who?"

"have no idea……"

"Did you lose something?"

"I don't know..." Ruan Ming shook his head and said, "My grandpa's room only has some clothes and sundries, and nothing of value...but there are a few pieces of jewelry from home placed under my bed, which were left behind by my mother... …But everything is still there?”

Klaus heard some noise at this time and looked out through the crack of the window. What he saw in the dark night was Sister Laila, who was struggling to come back with a bucket of water.

He pondered for a while and said: "Ruan Ming, go back first, and don't tell anyone about this - remember, if your grandfather is really not an accident, then everyone will have it except me who has been with you all the time." Suspicion."

"Ming, understand..."

…

…

"A button?" Long Xiruo looked at the thing in Klaus's hand doubtfully, "What does it mean?"

Klaus said: "This button fell from the clothes of one of the nuns brought by Father Alai. Her name is Sister Laila. I have confirmed it secretly."

"Where do these nuns come from?" Long Xiruo asked in surprise, "I've never seen any of them?"

Klaus said: "They stayed in the village. They should be helping to take care of the children. You just didn't meet them."

"Okay." Long Xiruo said thoughtfully: "But this can only mean that the dead old man may have met the nun before he died. It doesn't mean anything - or even a coincidence, the old man may have accidentally picked up the button. Arrived?"

"Do you believe this coincidence?" Klaus asked with a sneer.

Long Xiruo shrugged and refused to comment, "This has nothing to do with me. What I am doing now is just to successfully complete the burial of Ruan Ming's grandfather... Okay, why should this priest and his team be killed? Ruan Ming’s grandfather?”

"Would you like to go and see the place where Mr. Sanshui's accident happened?" Klaus squinted and said, "Actually, the place where the accident happened is nearby."

"I see... That's why you took the initiative to ask to come out to explore the way." Long Xiruo nodded - maybe this was the reason why the guy deliberately said that he was strong enough to help and asked him to come out with him?

…

The place where Ruan Sanshui's accident occurred was halfway up the mountain. Klaus seemed to have inquired about the place where Ruan Sanshui was found in advance, so he quickly took Long Xiruo with him to find the accident site.

"What's the business of coming all the way here in this wretched place with barren mountains and wild ridges?" Shenzhou True Dragon looked around in confusion.

"No one knows." Klaus shook his head and said, "I guess he might be collecting medicine or something."

"Collecting medicine?"

"Grandpa Sanshui knows some simple medical skills." Klaus said nonchalantly: "You can be regarded as a local doctor in the village. I was injured before and it was cured by Grandpa Sanshui. But the potion is boiled with herbs. , it tastes really bad.”

"He should have fallen from here." Long Xiruo poked her head out and looked at the edge of the cliff... Suddenly, she touched a vine from the edge of the cliff.

"Tree Vine?" Klaus looked over at this time.

"Well, a broken vine." Long Xiruo said calmly: "To be precise, it is a vine that has been cut off. Look at the cut."

"This incision should have been made not long ago." Klaus mused: "So, Grandpa Sanshui must have grabbed the vine, but it was cut open in the end, so he fell down ? He probably grabbed the murderer's sleeve when he was cutting the vines, so he caught this button? Sure enough, this matter is inseparable from Sister Laila... What are you thinking? "

"Why is the old man holding on to this vine?" Long Xiruo asked coldly.

Klaus's eyes narrowed and he raised his head slightly.

Long Xiruo looked at the broken vine in his hand and pondered: "Did he originally want to grab this vine and go down, instead of being forced to grab this vine?"

"Yes, if you want to kill Grandpa Sanshui, you don't have to go to so much trouble."

"It's really troublesome, just go down and take a look." The Divine Dragon scratched his head impatiently and jumped forward, which was a leap of faith.

"Hey!" Klaus was slightly startled...Has this woman always been so reckless?

"Come down, there is a platform here!" But soon, a certain Xiruo's voice came up, "There is also a cave!"

…

…

…

…

In the hall, everyone was silent,

At this time, Xiaobao took the codex from [Qian Xiu] and looked at it carefully, "Elder brother, have you noticed that this codex seems...incomplete?"

"Well, there are a few pages missing at the end. They must have been torn off by someone." [Qianxiu] nodded, "Most of them are about anatomy, offerings, rituals, etc., the most critical technique of immortality. It should be the pages that were torn apart.”

Xiaobao pondered: "So, are those nuns in the underground palace studying the contents of this book? Summoning demons, or studying the art of immortality?"

"No matter what it is, if children are used as sacrifices, it is a great evil magic!" Si Wuxie said solemnly: "Immortality is not achieved by sacrifice, but by cultivation."

...Hey, hey, you can’t fix it even if you fix it, right?

Xiaobao opened his mouth, feeling that the saint... the heroine seemed too deeply involved in the drama, but at this moment, a female cultivator from the Holy Land hurriedly ran into the hall.

"Holy Lord! There are...many people coming from the village, so many!" The female cultivator said in panic: "They are starting a war!"

"What?"

Li Qingtong couldn't help being startled, and quickly walked out of the hall and came outside the house. He saw that in the village below, there was a lot of fighting and crowds of people. For a while, he couldn't tell who was who, and... It was indeed a very large number of people.

Not only players, but also many map monsters.

"Mother..." Si Wuxie quickly whispered in Li Qingtong's ear: "Those monster-looking guys are probably..."

Li Qingtong said: "Go ahead and ask the sisters to wear masks. We must not let them discover our [Luo Holy Land]."

At the same time, Xiaobao, who was nearby, said in surprise: "Map monster? Boss... In this special scene, can the map monster from outside also come in?"

"I don't know." [Qianxiu] muttered: "[Red King's Tomb] is a limited-time event, so it is special. They can indeed come in. Rou'er and I have already seen a group of map monsters enter the village."

"How come so many players came in at once?" [Qianyu Xianrou] couldn't help but frowned, "Brother Xiu, look!"

[Qianyu Xianrou] reached out and pointed.

I saw a group of scattered players, fighting and retreating at the same time, heading in their direction along the village road.

"Boss!" Xiaobao suddenly became confused, "Hide?"

"It's too late." [Qian Xiu] frowned and said, "Besides, we can't take away the children in this yard... These children should be important clues to conquering this village. Maybe we still have to protect them."

"But we can only draw A!" Xiaobao laughed bitterly.

"Then let's draw A." [Qianxiu] said, and saw a flash of white light on his body, and he actually changed into a gray-black soft armor suit... As for the weapons, they also became tattered. rusty iron sword.

"Boss, what are you doing?"

"Dugu Suit." [Qian Xiu] waved the Tie Xiu Sword in his hand, "The normal attack is a two-hit combo for all, and the upper limit of the normal attack level is +1. It is a complete suit that can come in handy here."

"...what the hell + dada duck set?" Xiaobao complained.

[Qian Xiu] has already been dispatched, jumped out, and went directly towards the map monsters that were chasing players, "Rou'er, give me some protection!"

[Qianyu Xianrou] waved the staff quickly, "At most it can only exert the effect of a small blessing! You have to be careful!"

"That's enough!" [Qian Xiu]'s body instantly glowed with a faint brilliance!

He swung his sword and slashed it flatly to the ground, hitting an earth lizard monster covered in black armor. The lizard fell to the ground in shock.

[Qian Xiu] jumped and jumped at this time, his movements were as agile as a civet, and an iron sword actually blocked the monster's impact.

"This place is forbidden to pass!" [Qian Xiu] pointed his sword at the leader of the map monster, and he was as powerful as a thousand.

"Damn it, is this the confidence of being number one on the combat power list..." Xiaobao's eyes lit up, "Elder brother, I would like to call you Master Xiu!"

"Young poor man, go and help Brother Xiu!" [Qian Yu Xianrou] hit Xiao Bao's head directly with the staff in her hand, and at the same time gave Xiao Bao a super-level magic [Goddess of Life's] that was as effective as the Little Blessing Technique. [Shelter], Xiaobao’s attributes instantly +20...

"Only 20?!"

"That's good." [Qianyu Xianrou] raised her foot and kicked Xiaobao out.

Immediately afterwards, [Qianyu Xianrou] looked at Li Qingtong and others.

"Miss Rou'er, I will protect Mr. Xiu later." Li Qingtong said directly.

Under such circumstances, they may be able to exert unexpected combat power: because in Li Qingtong's view, even a strong person like [Qian Xiu] seems to be difficult to compare with a fourth-level master in terms of skills. Grandmaster...

"Please." [Qianyu Xianrou] waved her staff and released protection for the female cultivators one by one!

Even the richest woman in the Jade Continent couldn't bear the continuous release of super-level magic. Her magic power was almost exhausted and she had to open a bottle of Instant Blue.

"There are 997 bottles left. Brother Xiu is right. One bottle is used less than one bottle..."

With a beeping sound, [Qianyu Xianrou] took a deep breath and waved the staff again, "Meteorites falling from the sky!"

I saw a fireball the size of a basketball, instantly exploding into the group of monsters... and then, BOOM!

…

BOOM——!

!

"Damn it, why can that mage use skills?"

"It's not very powerful, so it won't get in the way."

"Can it also blow us up?"

"..."

"Who is this swordsman in black? How powerful... Is there such a way to play level A? Is it the legendary basic attack style?"

"Stop beeping, let's fight back! Damn it, we've been chased all the way by these map monsters, it's time to fight back!"

"Go for it! Go for it!

"

[Qian Xiu] joined, and then a group of Holy Land female cultivators came out under the protection of magic, catching the monsters off guard in an instant!

In the moment of a brief collision, six map monsters were killed by everyone's swords!

At this moment, a black shadow in the sky suddenly pounced on [Qian Xiu]!

[Qianxiu] gave an instant warning with his super sense, and instinctively waved the iron sword. He only heard the sound of gold and iron clashing. [Qianxiu] stepped back a few steps before reluctantly stopping.

[Qian Xiu] looked solemnly and saw a snake warrior with wings on his back floating in the air, "Orange Epic..."

——The Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python (Orange Epic)

At this time, everyone also saw the appearance of the Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python - the bright orange name was particularly dazzling, and a chill could not help but rise in the hearts of the players.

"Dragon King!"

"Dragon King!"

The map monsters gathered around the sky-swallowing dragon python.

I could only hear the Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python snorting coldly at this moment: "A bunch of trash! I have to take action from this Dragon King! If you tell me, it will bring disgrace to my [Tianlong] Holy Land!"

…

"[Dragon Holy Land]...Dragon King?" Si Wuxie's face couldn't help but change slightly, "Mother, could it be that he is..."

"You can't be wrong..." Li Qingtong couldn't help but look solemn, "Tianlong King Aorun! I didn't expect that this guy also entered the [Red King's Mausoleum]!"

At this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the darkness.

The body of the Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python suddenly staggered in mid-air and almost fell down - but the Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python quickly stabilized its body and covered the bleeding spot on its chest with an extremely gloomy expression.

Not far away, a [Ghost Soldier] instantly raised his sniper and trotted back to the team... A team of [Ghost Soldiers] suddenly appeared in another direction!

"What the hell...soldier??"

Xiaobao made everyone dumbfounded.

…

…

Land.

Klaus frowned. The platform here was hidden in the cliff. It was extremely difficult to find it without climbing down... Long Xiruo was no longer on the small platform. He had obviously taken the first step and entered the cave inside.

Klaus frowned, took out his lighter, lit it up, and groped his way in. After a few steps, he saw Long Xiruo stopping in front.

"What's wrong?" Klaus asked subconsciously.

Long Xiruo didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand and pointed in front.

Klaus frowned and looked, and the firelight moved at the same time... A clay statue of a Gumantong instantly came into his eyes - but there were more than one!

Here, there are rows of Gumantong statues embedded in the walls!

Under the swaying firelight of the earthenware baby statues with abnormally large heads, their original innocent smiles turned out to be extremely weird...
