Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 448 Twenty-five

  The Swamp Mother's gaze stayed on the edge of the swamp as she watched the carriage go away.

  The road became noisy before Lu Li entered the Lord's Continent. The blockade caused by the Shadow Town incident is a two-way street. Lu Li will not see any signs of human activity until he reaches the nearest town.

   "The map is in the brown suitcase." Lu Li said to Anna.

  Ana returned to the carriage, opened the suitcase, took out a few maps, found the map of the Lord's Continent and handed it to Lu Li.

  Lu Li spread out the sheepskin map with the fragrance of pine needles, and placed the blood-colored tentacles after falling into the mountains against the map.

   "If the **** tentacle is not very far from us, its landing point should be the seaside town or the road from Lilm City to the Lion City."

   The index finger moved between the two places, which were about 80 miles and 130 miles away from the swamp road, respectively.

  The seaside town is right on the edge of the mountain, follow the road around the mountain and they can get there.

   Of course, it is also possible that the blood-colored tentacles hang into the mountains, but at this time, even Lu Li would not dare to easily enter the wild far away from the gathering places of humans. The owner of the blood-colored tentacles has no reason to do so—unless it is not a human being.

  In any case, when the carriage reached the seaside town along the mountains, we would know where the blood-colored tentacles really fell.

   "20 miles ahead is Fallen Leaf Town, where we can rest."

   Ana's phantom finger beside her pointed to the very edge of the map, which was in front of them.

   "Don't take a break, buy some food and go directly to the coastal town."

  Lu Li does not intend to waste too much time. If possible, going to the Lennon Islands remains his first choice.

   wrote down the map, Lu Li put away the map, and was put back into the suitcase by Anna along with the other maps.

   This road is called Earl Ross Road on the map - because it was built by Earl Ross.

  The deciduous mountains block the coast, and the sea breeze cannot blow here.

  The ubiquitous salty sea breeze on the Allen Peninsula was pulled out of the air just a few miles after the carriage entered the Lord's Continent.

  The rain also seemed to be blocked by the mountains, and the drizzle that fell on the swampy road disappeared.

   Anna, who has no sense of smell, doesn't know anything about the change in taste, but she has a similar feeling to Lu Li-because it is very close to her fantasy scene.

  Lu Li and Anna, just two people, rode a carriage to admire around the vast continent and accompany each other.

The first half of    is completely consistent, but there is no warm breeze with plant fragrance on both sides of the road, only the dead and dead, gloomy withered forest.

  The deciduous mountains are like fairy tales where vicious witches live, full of poisonous snakes and beasts. And reality is far crueler than fairy tales - there are no witches in the forest, no venomous beasts.

  In the dead mountains there is only the occasional rustling of the treetops brought by the breeze.

   After a dull period of time, the first town they encountered, Leaf Falls, appeared in front of them.

   It's located here for the same purpose as Shadow Town, and even the time of its construction is similar. So when the carriage approached Ye Ye Town, Lu Li felt the sadness of the death of a rabbit and a fox in the expressions of passers-by.

   A team of knights was stationed at the entrance of Fallen Leaf Town. The horses were old, the armor was dull, and the blades of the spears and swords were like dust. Only the perseverance on the faces of the young knights and the psychic guns on their waists told them that they could still fight.

   They soon spotted the carriage coming from the swamp road with a strange look. Probably because everyone is running to the Lennon Islands, and there are still people who come to the Lord's Continent on their own initiative.

   "What are the colleagues over there doing? You let the commoners pass through the swamp road..." The knight captain scolded, holding his helmet and his companions to the carriage.

The investigator badge presented by Lu Li dispelled the knight captain's complaints about his "colleagues". He was straight, with his helmet in his left hand, his right hand slammed his left chest heavily, and said solemnly, "Hello, Your Excellency, Respected Demon Slayer! "

  There are some subtle differences in the treatment of exorcists between the Ellen Peninsula and the Lord's Continent.

  The more commercial Allen Peninsula lacks culture and heritage, and for them, the best way to measure a person's worth is his wealth.

  Mainland is more conservative and more traditional. They respect these ancient and mysterious exorcists who have been protecting human beings since hundreds of years ago, at least most people do.

   However, with the budding of industry and the increase of weirdness, exorcists who no longer become mysterious have also begun to walk down the altar, but they are not as thorough as the Ellen Peninsula.

   Anna, who hid in the inner world, pursed her lips. She was very happy that Lu Li could be treated so politely.

  Lu Li's eyes swept over the psychic guns on the waists of the captain and the knights behind him: "Is there no night watchman stationed here?"

  The knight captain replied respectfully: "Return to Your Excellency the Demon Slayer, because there are not enough manpower, remote and sparsely populated towns, only the knights maintain order. Can I help you?"

   "Just passing by here, we'll go to the seaside town to buy some food."

  The Knight Captain didn't delve into the "we" that Lu Li said, or he just thought it was a slip of the tongue. He called a knight to come forward and instructed: "Go and buy the best meal here for Your Excellency the Exorcist."

   Then he politely said to Lu Li, "If you don't know the way, we can take you to the seaside town."

   "No need to thank you." Lu Li declined the help of the knight captain, but he still insisted on helping Lu Li - so he personally took Lu Li to the town of leaves and cooked the best restaurant.

  There are few pedestrians in the town of Leaves, including townspeople who left with their luggage. The Knight Captain said that not only Fallen Leaves Town, but everyone on the road was leaving their homes, and this had been going on for several days.

  People who have no money will choose to go to a slightly larger city, some of the savings will go to the fast city and capital city, or to the safest place in the world - the Lennon Islands

  The Knight Captain told Lu Li that half of the residents of Leiye Town had left. As the environment became worse, there would be fewer and fewer people here until it was abandoned and no longer needed to be stationed.

   Feeling that Lu Li was looking at his psychic gun, the knight captain lightly rubbed the holster and said, "This is given to the knights by the Exorcist United Organization. She can help us fight against the lowest-level ghosts and monsters."

   remembering something, he asked with curiosity and anticipation: "What is your weapon?"

"Just like you."

  Lu Li lifted the corner of his clothes to let him see the gun holster.

   "Her roses bloomed one or two?"

"all."

   Knight Captain's face showed genuine shock, and then he treated Lu Li more respectfully.

   Accompanying him to buy food and leave, Lu Li gradually moved away from Maple Leaf Town under the gaze of Captain Knight.

   "I kind of like it here."

   Anna, who had emerged, said softly.

   Lu Li didn't answer, he took the reins and drove towards their destination seaside town.
