Son of the Olden Days

In the next few days, the territory was still calm, and there was no news of the presence of stone men.

But gradually, something else appeared.

The cause of the incident was a case at first. One day and night, a civilian was killed, and the family of three was not spared.

The murderer's methods were very cruel. The family of three did not have many injuries, but they all had one common feature. They all lost their heads and their heads were missing. The matter was first reported to the urban militia group, and then the militia group immediately organized a manpower to intervene in the investigation.

Although the Scarlet Crusade Department under the charge of Stanter is usually responsible for the security of the territory and maintaining the order on the street, some trivial disputes among the leaders will not be taken care of, so as not to trivialize the energy of the military department.

In view of this, the leaders spontaneously formed the former rural civic protection group, with the purpose of resolving daily civil disputes.

Seeing that they are very impressive, they have indeed effectively shared the pressure of the military, and the old goblin has also given official approval.

The matter has been followed. To this day, there are two to three medium-sized militia groups in every urban area of ​​the Free City, composed of young and strong leaders with a sense of responsibility. Usually there are minor matters concerning the leadership of the people in various regions, and they will not be able to deal with them before they are reported to the military.

As soon as this case occurred, although the Guardian Corps immediately took over and paid attention to it, the inquiry did not yield any effective results. After the civilians were killed, there was no trace of missing property in the house, so the militia group judged that this might be a vendetta.

Because the men in that household are usually alcoholic and addicted to gambling, they often do things to their wives and children when they are unhappy, and they have a very bad reputation in the market. In order to make money, he often mixes with the inexhaustible villain forces in the territory, and often squeezes the poor around him.

Therefore, the Guardian Group guessed that it was possible that a poor family was bullied too much, and took advantage of this guy one day to be drunk and brazenly took revenge, and even resorted to harsh methods of beheading, but it was a pity that the guy's innocent wife and children.

However, the outcome of the matter has not been finalized, and the second case happened again. The same method was used, but the head was missing.

This time, it was an old couple with a wealthy family. There was a son who worked at the Scarlet Cross. There was still no trace of theft in the family. It was only because the families of Scarlet Cross members were involved that the case was quickly reported to the military headquarters.

When the military department intervened in the investigation, a third case of the same method followed one after another.

There were three cases of the same method in three days, and this time even the old goblin was alarmed.

It is the fourth day that the case has arrived at Sol.

Sol was found because what seemed to be a simple law and order case, suddenly rose to a weird level.

"Relax and restate what you saw." The old goblin smiled with a self-righteous smile at the council table in the town hall.

Except for the old goblin, Sol, Stanter, and Diller were all there, sitting at the main seat of the long conference table. On the opposite side of the conference table, there was a fidgeting middle-aged man who was caught by the eyes of so many big shots, and he would inevitably be a little frightened.

With the encouragement of the old goblin, the middle-aged man lowered his head and carefully recalled, then he raised his head and began to tell his story.

The man named Ouke pointed out to everyone first that he was the neighbor of the victim in the second case. He usually has carpentry work in his hands, and after work, he is used to going to a pub for a drink, but he then emphasized that he is not drunk or drunk.

The trajectory of his life was no different the night it happened.

After work, I went to a pub for a drink, listened to a few drunkard jokes, and then bought some snacks to take home to his wife and children.

Ouke is usually a man who cares for the family. He has worked hard these years and bought a house after he settled in the City of Liberty. Because the house is located in the inner city, the roadway where they are located is usually well lit, and he saw things when he returned home.

After turning into the alley, he saw a guy in a black robe knocking on his neighbor's door from a distance. He knew that his neighbor’s son was a senior sergeant from the Scarlet Cross, and he earned a lot of money. The family was usually kind to his wife and children.

He has always been envious of his neighbors, and he is ready to wait two years for his son to become an adult, and try to ask his neighbors to send his son who has troubled him all day to the Scarlet Cross. I dare not say that I will stand out from now on, but it is at least a bright way out.

After seeing the black robe, he stopped suspiciously. He thought it might be a visitor to a neighbor, but it could also be a villain with malicious intent. Maybe he figured out that there were only two old people at home, and he was going to do something bad about blackmailing money.

Recently, in the tavern, he often heard the businessmen of this city say that the world is not good, and recently there is not much business travel freely in the city. Usually, I rarely see guys in black robes on the street, and even if I see him, I don't have a good impression of these people who hide their heads and show their tails.

So he looked around, exited the laneway and grabbed a severed chair leg in the garbage dump next to him.

His idea is very simple. If that guy came to blackmail the old man, he would rush up in time to beat the villain away.

In this way, I can get the favor of my neighbors, and I can ask others to talk about my son in the future. And if you can get acquainted with a senior sergeant of the Scarlet Cross, even your own life can benefit a lot.

So after returning to the alley, he quietly observed the black robe in the distance in the darkness of the backlight.

The black robe looked a little strange, it seemed to carry a worn-out bag of old cloth, the kind that ordinary civilians used to hold trash.

According to Ouke, the black robe seemed to get no response after knocking on the door. He was a little far away at the entrance of the laneway and he didn't hear it very well, but saw the black robe raise his hand and knock on the door. Maybe the old man in the house was sleeping a little, and then he seemed to knock again.

After still not getting a response, the black robe suddenly stood still like a sculpture, and didn't know what it was doing.

Ouke felt that something was wrong, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go directly to ask him. It would be a misunderstanding if the neighbor's relatives came to visit, but if the other party hesitated to explain the specific reason or panicked, then obviously he is not a good person.

But as soon as he took a step, Oak's eyes widened suddenly.

He saw that the black robe flickered in place, and then suddenly disappeared. For a moment Oak thought he was dazzled, then raised his hand and rubbed it, and then wondered if he was drinking too much, but he thought he was sober.

I only drank two glasses of fruit wine today, and I can't even talk about being a little bit addicted.

Besides, I really have to drink too much, how can I calculate the details of the gains and losses of favors in detail.

Then the air suddenly filled with a weird atmosphere, until someone behind him passed by and alarmed Ok before dragging him back to reality.

Oak instinctively felt that the black robe seemed to have entered the neighbor's house. Although the neighbor's door was not opened, Oak had this weird instinct. Should I go up and smash the door? What if things are not what you think they are? Oak hesitated.

Fortunately, he did not let him wait for too long. The black robe seemed to appear inexplicably in an instant, and reappeared at the door of the neighbor's house. The dry cloth pocket he was carrying seemed to be stuffed with something, and then the black robe went to Heou The gloomy laneway in the opposite direction left.

Ouke, who had witnessed the whole process, was unsure, and finally chose to remain silent.

He attributed this weird scene to the bizarre methods of the master magician, which is not surprising, civilians are like this. All they can get in touch with and hear about is the magician story with unpredictable methods, so Ouke thinks that maybe it is a magician.

Thinking of this, he didn't take it to heart. He went back to his house and had a supper with his wife and children and then rested.

It wasn't until the Scarlet Cross sergeant returned home the next day that his parents had been killed.

Ok, who was working at a businessman's house at the time, heard that he was shocked and hurried back to his home. Fortunately, his wife and children were safe. So Oak asked his wife and children to pack their things quickly and sent them to a friend's house for temporary stay.

He recalled the details of last night, and he was scared for a while, and he was not in the mood to go to work, but went to the pub to drink boredom.

This incident was spread very lively in the territory, and it happened to be spread in the tavern at the time. After hearing a few **** bullshits from the drunks, he couldn't help but jump out and claim that he was a witness.

When Oak was brought to the old goblin for questioning, a third similar case had already occurred.

After listening to Oak's narration, the old goblin couldn't make any effective judgments, so he could only call Thor and others to listen to it.

After listening to Oak's narration, Saul tapped his fingers on the tabletop to stop suddenly.

"Thank you for your assistance. When your child is an adult, as long as there is no problem in character, he will send it to Scarlet Cross for training. This is the head of the military, Stant. Okay, you can go back and live with peace of mind." Sol called to this. Oak's man told him.

"Thank you Lord Stanter, thank you Lord Lord, thank you all." Oak raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, saluted the crowd incoherently, and then retreated away respectfully.

The rest of the people looked at each other at the table, and the next discussion was undoubtedly related.

But there are too few clues exposed in this kind of thing, and it is doomed to discuss no results. Even if Saul sees it for himself, the gender, age and identity are all unknown, there is no way to judge, a black robe can't explain any problems, and he himself has not worn it less.

As for the flash and disappearance of the black robe described by Oak, it is either an illusion, but Saul personally tends to believe it.

It’s because Messia and Sinel’s flashing through the wall magic hasn’t been seen before, and even the regular evil spirits will flicker and move. Of course, the crime will certainly not be the evil spirits of the rules, otherwise many living people in the surrounding area would have been sucked into the rules long ago.

But if you want to talk about scrutiny, following Oak's narrative, the only detail is that the black robe carries a cloth pocket. From shriveled to bulging, it is very likely that the victim's head was contained inside, because blood stains were indeed found at the door of the victim's house after inspection.

So the question is, who would collect the heads of normal criminals? Cultists use it for evil rituals? Or is it the Owl's Demon?

Or... Secret Realm Nightmare Collector ran into the realm?
