Hotel on the mountain

"Judging from the traces at the scene, it naturally found the safest place, then lay down comfortably and died without pain."

"Die in your sleep?"

"You can say that, but this is strange, isn't it? According to Obsward's statement and the traces of activities in its territory - it shows that it became a very manic and irritable individual during its lifetime."

Jetro and Thorad were communicating consciously from a distance, and someone at the scene began to record this special individual Barbarian jaws. Dao'er Raya ran over at this time and reported to Yetro: "Sir, this is really amazing! This is definitely the first time in history that a special body of the Barbarosaurus has been recorded!"

Daoer was born with a huge interest in novel things, so she began to talk endlessly:

"First of all, the scales and skin of the normal Barbarian dragon are pink, and there are thick hairs starting from the shoulders, making the overall color of Barbarian dragon darker. But the scales, outer skin and hair of this Barbarian dragon are partially Change to black. And it's still changing!

Secondly, the density of muscles in various parts of its body is several times higher than that of an ordinary individual, so that its defense and explosive power are also several times higher than that of an ordinary individual. Most importantly, its body structure changes are ongoing!

Finally, I discovered that its changes were like a 'disease'. If humans get a disease, death is the end of humanity, but this individual is very strange. When it gets a disease, death seems like its starting point. Therefore, the various wonderful changes taking place in its body did not stop due to death, but progressed at a faster speed. "

Jetro tried his best to make himself feel that he understood, but he finally gave up, so he said directly: "Dao'er, say something I can understand."

"Oh." Dao'er pulled the bachelor's hat on his head sheepishly, "To put it simply, the changes in this Barbarian jaw dragon were not born. It should have been infected by something recently, or it may have eaten something inappropriate. It should be eaten. Then it will cause mutations in its body. It will take a while to observe and find more samples. "

“Is this change dangerous?”

Daoer rubbed his chin, thought carefully for a few seconds, and said: "Normal organisms will be decomposed naturally after death. It just undergoes other changes, which does not essentially change the objective fact of death. Therefore, it will not There is danger."

Before Yetro could reply, Dao'er said excitedly: "Sir, can I apply to take this monster's body back for research? I also want to find some clues from its belly."

"Yes, please report any abnormal situation to me immediately."

"Oh yeah! I, Dao'er Raya, must be an important figure in the history of scholars!" She excitedly directed everyone to prepare for the transportation, but Yetro was still a little uneasy in his heart - there was only one person in the four-person hunting team. Survived, everyone else died, but the key point is that the weakest survived; a genetically mutated monster went crazy and then inexplicably "euthanized"; a "dead" corpse was not dead yet, with all parts of the body Wonderful changes are taking place.

"Solard, what do you think?"

"I don't have any clue, and I've never seen such an individual in history. Maybe it's a species unique to the New World."

"Yes, the New World, I almost forgot, everything here is unknown." Jetro sighed and continued to respond, "It seems that we need to find an opportunity to establish a good relationship with the empire's academy and let them send Ask the scholar to come over.”

…

A hunting incident full of questions did not hinder everyone's fantasy of Jin Yuan. Many hunters still poured into the marginal forest to hunt more Barbarian Jaw Dragons or other monsters to enrich their wallets.

Dao'er had this wonderful corpse sent to the vicinity of Pearl Lake. He set up a tent with all sides open not far from the blacksmith shop and began the dissection work.

Anatomy is a technical job, but Daoer is not skilled at it.

The most important thing is that the corpse did not lose its amazing defense due to death, so she had to ask Sith to use a special tool to make an opening in the abdomen of the corpse - of course this was a violent disembowelment, which would inevitably cause dissection of the corpse. Other organizations created disruption.

Dao'er, who had fresh and fair skin, did not shy away from the dirty blood at this time. After putting on a layer of protective clothing, he got into the abdomen of the mutated Barbarian jaw dragon, then removed the stomach bag of the Barbarian jaw dragon and dragged it out with difficulty. They opened the stomach bag and found two unspeakably disgusting corpses inside. The Sis couldn't help but turn their heads and look away. Only Dao'er patiently sorted out the various objects found with a diligent heart. Door classification.

"Okay, what a poor hunter." A bunch of disgusting objects were cleaned and placed on the table, and Dao'er took a notebook to record them.

Sith finally overcame the urge to vomit in his heart and scanned the various objects curiously. He looked at it for a long time and asked a question: "Dao'er, are you sure you have found everything?"

"Yes, I also searched for the excretory system of this Barbarian dragon, and it's all here. In fact, the digestive process of Barbarian dragon is very slow, so the intervals between meals are very long. In just one day, they What’s wrong?”

Sith's expression was a little solemn and he said: "You should be careful here. Don't lose everything you find."

"Oh. Of course, I need to study it."

Not long after Sis left, Dao'er suddenly heard the "rustling" sound of the corpses behind her. She turned around and saw that the black scales and hair on the mutated Barbarian jaw dragon's corpse were beginning to wither. ——The entire corpse turned back into the normal appearance of a Barbarian jaws dragon, and decomposed at a speed beyond normal.

…

There was a sudden commotion in the Alpine Hotel. Someone went to inquire and found out that the guards were arresting people - they arrested Obsward, who had lost three teammates, and he was about to jump when the door was broken into. window.

He was soon escorted to Jetro in the central suite No. 3. At this time, he looked confused and said first: "Sir, have I committed any crime? Why do you want people to arrest me?"

"You are so brave." Jetro sat on a high-backed chair with an angry look on his face, "You actually dared to commit three murders on my territory! Three living people will stay forever. In the new continent, they were not killed in the fight with monsters, but were killed by their trusted teammates, Obsward, do you want to continue to pretend not to know? "

Obsward finally withdrew from the confused state, fear climbed onto his face, and soon he followed his inner will and said with tears: "My lord, I did not commit murder, my lord, I did not do it!"

Jetro hooked his hand, and Sith, who was standing aside, threw out three money bags. So Jetro continued: "This was found in your room. Do you want to tell me that your dead companions had the habit of hiding all their belongings in hotel rooms?"

Obsward had a tall, aquiline nose. Only now did cold sweat flow from his forehead, and his silence was filled with panic.

"Because hunters travel to various countries to hunt monsters, most of the belongings you carry are precious metals to facilitate the purchase of supplies in various countries. But why are there no gold or silver coins found near the places where these hunters died?" Ye Trot walked slowly to Obsward, "Because before they were eaten by monsters, all their belongings had been 'quietly' taken away."

"How can you do it?" Jetro knelt down and looked at Obsward who was kneeling on the ground. The latter was thin and short, trying hard to put on a smile. Jetro repeated again, "A two-star How did the hunter 'get' the money from several five-star hunters?"

"They... are good people, so..."

Just hearing the clear sound of a slap, Jetro's expression became much colder. He said coldly to Obsward, who was covering one side of his face: "I need you to understand that you are suspected of murder." , and these people you murdered could have provided me with more benefits in the New World, so I am very angry. From now on, if you tell the truth, I will let you live, and I will nod if I understand."

Obsward nodded vigorously with tears in his eyes, his five or six strands of long black hair growing close to his forehead motionless. After a while, he regained his composure and said in a deep voice: "Because they are bad people. Do you think they are good-hearted people?! No!" He broke out before he could maintain his composure for a while, "Why are they willing to recruit me? Join the team! Don't be kidding! Are you willing to use me as bait every time? I'm not here to make money! Toying with!

I'm waiting for an opportunity. I know they are arrogant, stupid, and arrogant. They would never think that I, a weakling, would resist. Look, look at me. "

Obsward stood up and turned around in front of everyone - "Looking at my 'ridiculous' figure, who would think that I would be a promising hunter? I am easy to bully, am I not?"

But they were wrong. I just need to add some sleep powder when preparing food and water for them - no, not some, but add a lot of sleep fruit powder, and they are done, right? "

Jetro responded promptly: "Yes, it is a simple and feasible method. What about the third person? The person who was blown away by the explosive barrel."

"Oh, Devin, he's the only one who 'looks up' to me, so he didn't drink too much of the water I handed him. I'm very experienced in making baits, so I went to lure one after they fell asleep. The Barbarian Jaw Dragon came. Although the monster looked a little different, I didn't think much about it - everything went smoothly. The two people who slept to death were eaten directly. As for Devin, he still had the ability to run two times. Step. So——”

Obsward smiled evilly and made a "stab" motion with one hand: "I stabbed him twice in the leg and used the smell of blood to attract the monster. I strangled his neck with a rope and dragged him all the way. The place where we put the explosive barrel. Poor Devin, he actually persuaded me to let him go and let me be a 'good person'."

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and Obsward became depressed, shrugged his shoulders and said: "You can all guess what happened next - I tied him to the pile of explosive barrels, and when the Barbarian Jaw Dragon chased him, Hit him with a fire powder pellet from a catapult."

"Do you think you are cruel?" Jetro asked.

"No, sir, I'm just a civilian who wants to make money."

"You have done similar things before, right? According to the guest information, you are from the west of the Hebrew Empire?"

Obsward was like a man who was extremely open-minded when he learned that there was no hope of survival. He knew everything and said it all: "Actually, sir, I come from the Midland District of the Great Chik Empire - the capital of Senbai. City. You also know that the Great Chik Empire does not allow hunters, so we all forge documents from other countries.

You ask me if I have ever done anything similar? I must say, my lord, I am quite timid. However, everyone needs to eat. "

"City of Senbai? The territory of the Hill family."

"Yes, in 'Sin City', the Hill family only cares about whether they can live a good life. They don't care what us civilians think. Anyway, as long as they can receive enough taxes."

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Jetro's mouth. He patted Obsward on the shoulder and encouraged: "You have to understand that I appreciate you. Not all two-star hunters can kill three five-star hunters at once. Hunter. I think you are a talent."

Obsward stood tremblingly. He was bewildered by the sudden compliment and responded cautiously: "My lord, if these are your generous words to a dying man, then I am still very happy. "You are... you are the first person to praise me." His hair on the top of his head is long, and only the hair on his forehead is close to his lower hair. At this time, he tried hard to put on a happy smile. , put their hands together, very well-behaved.

"Don't deny yourself, I never praise others casually." Jetro waved his hand, signaling for others to leave. He sat down at the desk, wrote a confession, and handed it to Obsward, "Put your fingerprint on it. With the seal of my Raya family, your crime is like a nail on the board - it can't be pulled out." Come down."

What else could Obsward say? He took the ink pad, drew a pledge, and waited for the final judgment.

Jetro locked the confession in a drawer and continued: "Only you and I know about this crime. I will tell others that I wronged you and arrested you before I understood the matter." Come in.

But when you walk out of this door, do you understand where you are? "

"Sir!" Obsward was a little stunned, but soon he knocked his head on the floor and said excitedly, "I will obey your orders from now on! You are my only master!" He knocked his head There was a thud on the ground, because he felt that his chance to stand up was about to come - not everyone has the opportunity to work for the heir of a duke. For a commoner like him who came from the lowest level, there is something more honorable than this. ?
