Chapter 26

Three days later, Chen Gou came to a adobe house with a gate only two meters wide in Panshi City.

Although it is still better than the house in the slum, it is dwarfed by the camp of the abyssal Corps.

After Chen Gou knocked on the door, a young woman of about 17 or 18 years old with hemp spots on her face showed a timid head from the crack of the door and asked.

Chen Gou said politely, "is this the residence of the long song team belonging to the left wing of the abyss knights?"

"Yes, are you..." the girl became more and more alert.

"Chen Gou, a new official member of the long song team." Chen Gou took out a silver mask and said.

Since he was canonized as a Silver Knight, the previous bronze mask was taken back and replaced with this silver mask.

"Ah... It's the knight. Come on in. You look so young." The girl quickly opened the door and invited him in with joy.

"Where is captain Xin Qi?"

When you come to a new environment, the first thing to do is to worship the boss.

He is a fierce man with an awakening level of lv40 or above. Although he has just experienced a tragic defeat in which all his team members died, he is still a skinny camel bigger than a horse.

"Captain, he..."

The girl wanted to stop talking and sighed, "Alas! You can see it yourself."

The yard was not big. In less than a minute, Chen Gou followed the girl to the backyard. He saw a middle-aged man leaning on the threshold drunk, surrounded by empty wine bottles.

Chen Gou clenched his right hand and knocked on his left chest. He saluted and said, "Captain, Chen Gou came to report on the order of the headquarters of the rock division of the Knights."

The man in the middle closed his eyes and snored in his breath without any reaction. A scar running through the whole left half of his face crawled on his face like a centipede.

"Team member Chen Gou came to report!" Chen Gou could not help but accentuate his voice and repeat loudly.

Xin Qi turned over and turned his back to him, but he still didn't respond.

Chen Gou sighed helplessly, "how long has he been like this?"

"It's been like this since I was rescued."

The girl also sighed: "I'm really worried that adults have been decadent and can't cheer up. The death of several other knights, especially Lord Anan, has dealt too much blow to him... They are lovers, and Lord Anan is pregnant. He originally planned to concentrate on cultivation after completing his last task."

No wonder

Chen Gou couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy for the drunk in front of him.

Men don't shed tears because they haven't reached the sad place.

In the next half an hour, Chen Gou learned a lot of information about the long song team from the girl.

The girl's name is a Yun. She was an orphan girl taken in by the long song team a few years ago. Later, she played the role of team life housekeeper and so on.

All along, he helped the long song team to keep things in order outside the battle.

This time, the long song team suffered a heavy blow and was pushed to the end and reduced to bronze. All the other servants left. Only she followed and took care of Xin Qi who became a waste.

Bang! Bang

There was another knock outside the door. Ah Yun was about to open the door. Chen Gou stopped her and walked past.

When I opened the door, it was Dongli standing outside.

"Where's your sister?" Chen Gou glanced behind him, empty.

"My sister was temporarily accompanied by a big man from the holy city today. I'll introduce you in a few days."

Chen Gou said contemptuously, "in a few days, will you say that this big man has a crush on your sister and then take her to the holy city?"

"Listen to you... It's not impossible." Dongli touched his chin and his eyes lit up.

Chen Gou: "cheap!"

"Ha ha..."

Dongli came forward and hooked his shoulder and said, "don't worry, I won't let you suffer. That favor will find a chance to give it back to you."

"Ha ha!"

Suddenly, the expressions on both faces converged at the same time, and an abyss Knight rode a war horse to the door.

"The abyss Knight rock division headquarters has an order, and the long song team takes the order!" The knight rode on his horse and shouted.

Hearing the order from the headquarters of the sub regiment, Chen Gou and Dongli dared not be careless and hurried forward.

"Xin Qi?" The knight held a rolled parchment in his hand and did not give it directly to them.

"He..." Chen Gou didn't know what to say.

"Forget it, give it to him." The knight shook his head gently, threw the sheepskin roll to Chen Gou, then sighed and drove his horse away.

"Captain, the headquarters is on a mission!"

Chen Gou and Dongli return to the yard, turn Xin Qi over and try to wake him up. As a result, they are almost fainted by a mouthful of sour wine.

"It seems that we can't count on it. We can only rely on ourselves."

Chen Gou sighed again. He felt that he sighed more today than after crossing.

"Open it first."

Dongli took the sheepskin roll, activated it with mana and unfolded it slowly.

[task: investigate and solve the tragic death of villagers in Baishi Village without cause.]

[difficulty: two stars]

[location: Baishi Village, thirty miles southeast of Panshi City.]

[Description: three days ago, I received a report from the head of Baishi Village. Since a month ago, villagers have died miserably at home without cause. They can't find any scars on their bodies, but they look frightened. It seems that they have encountered extremely terrible things.

Once a folk demon hunting team was hired to investigate, but nothing was found. Some people still died miserably for no reason.]

[suggestion 1: the headquarters believes that it may be a case of revenge and murder committed by villagers by some special means, disguised as an evil attack.]

[suggestion 2: even if it is done by an evil spirit, it should be a low strength existence, because the dead are civilians and there is no record of the awakened being attacked.]

[suggestion 3: focus on the direction of unknown poison or soul attack.]

[reward: 50 meritorious points will be awarded for investigating the cause of the event, and 100 meritorious points will be awarded for solving the whole crisis event. There will be no punishment for the failure of this mission.]

[Note: the Department temporarily sets the risk level as two stars according to the existing information, but the event may have a higher risk level. Once the situation changes, it is allowed to evacuate in advance and report to the Department.]

[time limit: start immediately and get results within one week.]

After carefully examining the task information twice, Dongli said in a deep voice: "it seems that this is the training for us by the headquarters. If it's only two-star difficulty... We should be able to cope with it."

"That's the only way. I hope the captain will cheer up when we come back."

Chen Gou also knows that they have no other way. After a heavy blow to men, there are generally two extreme situations.

Either extreme indifference, do everything possible to revenge, or be defeated, have no love, and never recover.

Unfortunately, their captain Xin Qi is the latter.

Usually, in this case, no one can help him except himself.

Of course, Chen Gou and Dongli are confident that they dare to carry out the task in the absence of the captain.

After all, they have experienced the abyss of entering the evil world. Even if they fail to complete a two-star mission around rock city, there should be no danger.

Then they said goodbye to ah Yun and asked her to take good care of the captain. Then they went to the knight headquarters and received their armor, weapons and horses.

War horses are two young heiyuan horses, which are also the most valuable "materials" allocated to them by the headquarters.

In addition, all abyss knights can receive free of charge only armor and weapons made of ordinary refined steel.

If you want rule weapons, even the lowest bronze level, you need to exchange merit points.

Of course, these refined steel armor and weapons have no power of law. They are absolutely fine in terms of strength and sharpness.

Chen Gou had the armor of the death walker. He didn't need the armor. Instead of using a long sword, he chose a long handle hammer with an octagonal shape on the top.

As a summoner, he doesn't like being close to the enemy. Therefore, the larger the attack range of weapons, the better.

He can't play with bows and arrows, so he can only use this long handle hammer similar to a long gun.

Half an hour later, in the speculation and awe of many civilians, two young knights rushed out of the city gate on God's steed and plunged into the vast wilderness.

…………

Baishi Village is relatively a big village.

There are more than 100 households and 400 or 500 people in total. A small town can be built in a few years.

When Chen Gou and Dongli ran to the entrance of the village, they saw a small group of people blocking the road to the village.

"The wild fire demon hunting regiment is suppressing evil spirits. No one is allowed to come near..."

One of the strong men with big arms and round waist shouted a warning from a distance, but how could Chen Gou and Dongli listen to his nonsense.

Dongli took the lead. He didn't mean to slow down at all. He rode the armored black abyss war horse and hit it fiercely.

Domineering and unreasonable.

"Abyss Knight!"

People near the crossing, including the strong man, shouted and immediately flashed to both sides to make way for the passage.

"The Holy See sent the abyss knight. It seems that we have nothing to do." Next to the strong man, a yellow haired man looked at the knight's back and stamped his feet.

"Maybe, the abyss cavalry team always acts together, and they only have two people. It is likely that they have just been established... It is estimated that they are two newcomers who have just passed the abyss assessment.

The evil spirits here are very strange, leaving no trace. Inexperienced demon hunters are easy to suffer losses! "

The strong man said in a low voice that these folk demon hunting groups can only pick up the leftovers left by the official. Some rebellious people think they are no worse than the Knights of the three major knights, and they are not convinced.

"Jokes are jokes, but seriously, I expect them to find out what's behind them." Another whispered.

They have been here for five or six days, but they haven't found any clues.

Not only do villagers still die every day, but even the number shows signs of increasing. The killer behind seems to be provoking them.
