Chapter 14: Anything goes wrong
A voice came from the observation deck in a very cooperative tone: "Who is it?"
The three killers seemed startled, crouching down and preparing to flee...
They also realized that this tall house might, probably, be the headquarters of the Order of the Lion!
However, two crossbow arrows shot down from the watchtower stopped them from escaping.
"Don't move! How dare someone cause trouble here?"
Then, a group of burly men dressed like tin cans rushed out of the house and surrounded the killers and Leon.
This place is the auditorium of the Sarleon Kingdom's national knight order - the Lion Knights!
The three guys had their veils pulled off. The pretty boy in the lead tried to speak, but after a knight punched him and knocked out several teeth, he squatted down obediently, covering his mouth.
Three masked men in black and a stranger. The knights felt that there was basically no need to investigate this matter...
So, after verifying Leon's noble emblem, a knight politely asked Leon what happened, completely ignoring the criminals who were about to urinate.
Li Ang glanced at the three silent robbers: "I saw them robbing and killing people over there, and they probably planned to kill me as a witness..."
The drunkard's murder case was easily pinned on the unfortunate killers.
In this situation, the words of a nobleman are naturally more trustworthy than those of a 'robber'...
So the knights took a few "robbers" and planned to search for their accomplices.
As a victim who was 'almost silenced', Li Ang naturally had to lead the way.
But when they walked back into the alley and found the location of the body, everyone was shocked!
There was only a small amount of blood on the ground, and the body was gone!
In other words, the flesh and blood of the corpse was gone.
Only a complete human skin was left at the scene, but there was no flesh, blood or bones inside - just like an empty cicada shell!
There were no other damaged parts of the skin except for the seven holes on the face and the wound on the top of the head caused by a sword.
This is unlikely to be done by human power, as no one can peel off such a complete human skin in such a short time.
"The Fallen!"
The leading knight was horrified and blurted out.
While everyone was staring in amazement at the empty human skin, the agile pretty boy seized the opportunity and escaped into the dark alley.
But no one, including Li Ang, was interested in pursuing him anymore.
Small matters like robbery were not worth mentioning at this time. No one believed that the pretty boy had any connection with the legendary devils 'The Devourer' and 'The Corrupted'.
And if this pretty boy is really related to that human skin, then chasing him would only lead to death...
The knights turned back quickly with serious expressions to report.
Afterwards, the Lion Knights launched an investigation into the heretic demon as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and teams of knights were sent to various parts of the city.
Leon was also politely sent away by a knight.
He felt a little numb in his heart now. Are there really such things as Fallen in the Continent of Pendor?
So... does the devil that heretics worship also exist?
——It is said that the heretic worshippers have been planning to use human sacrifice to summon demons from another world. From the looks of it, it seems that they have succeeded?
After all, I was a person who traveled from another world...
It is also possible that these demons came from some other world.
This is a dangerous land indeed...
If I encounter a demon, will my skills and proficiency be enough to escape?
It seems that I need to know more about those heresies and mysterious beliefs...
He was lost in thought all the way and found that he seemed to have walked to a familiar place. When he looked up, he was back at the door of the "Adventurer" tavern again.
Feeling a little scared, Leon looked at the dark street, then at the brightly lit tavern, sighed and walked in.
People's yearning for light is actually no different from that of moths.
Light can indeed bring people a sense of psychological security.
It was late at night and there were few people in the store.
The ground was also clean, as if no violence had ever occurred here.
The tavern owner was cleaning up the bar. Seeing Li Ang coming back, he grinned in surprise: "Sir, are you lost..."
Li Ang smiled in a simple and honest way: "I want to stay in the hotel."
The boss shook his head in disbelief: "Are you sure the problem has been solved?"
Li Ang took out two gold coins and threw them on the bar: "I'm a professional at digging holes and burying people... Give me some hot food."
The boss stared at the gold coins, then looked at Leon, and finally succumbed to the charm of the dinar. He picked up the gold coins on the bar and threw down a key.
"Okay, stop causing trouble. Go upstairs to room 3, and I'll bring you food later..."
Li Ang really didn't want to get into any more trouble. There had been enough accidents today, so he went straight upstairs and entered the hostel room.
Just as he was about to close the door, the door of the room opposite opened, a burst of fragrance came out, and then a graceful woman walked out.
After looking at Li Ang, the woman smiled slightly and walked downstairs with an elegant posture.
This is a very attractive woman, with a curvy figure, who looks both thin and plump...
The face was also very delicate, and even in Li Ang's eyes, it was very outstanding.
And mainly there is an indescribable temperament...
After just one second of eye contact, this temperament made Li Ang think of the most common piece of furniture - the bed.
This made Li Ang reluctant to close the door for a moment - like a normal man, he looked at the woman from behind a few more times until she disappeared from his sight.
A charming voice came from downstairs: "Boss, please do me a favor..."
For some reason , when he heard this voice, the image of a fox emerged in Li Ang's mind.
This is a fox-like woman.
Such a woman usually means trouble.
Li Ang closed the door and decided not to cause any trouble.
…
When the boss knocked on the door to bring food to Leon, at least an hour had passed. Leon had already taken off his chain mail and was lying on the bed.
" Sorry for the little delay, here's the hot food you requested."
The boss felt quite apologetic. After all, according to normal efficiency, ten minutes was enough to prepare a meal, and Li Ang was so "magnanimous" that he didn't rush him, which made him feel a little guilty.
The catering standards at Pande are quite simple. In Leon's opinion, the ingredients are just barely cooked, and there is no taste at all. Correspondingly, the cooking speed is usually quite fast.
"Your little moment is quite long..."
Li Ang complained, took the food and started eating.
But before leaving, the boss seemed to see something, stopped, looked at Li Ang's luggage placed on the bedside, and seemed to want to say something.
"Anything else?" Li Ang was about to chase him away.
"You seem to be a pioneer knight?" The boss standing aside awkwardly forced a conversation, his eyes fixed on the small emblem next to the pillow.
Li Ang was a little depressed. You asked after seeing the emblem of the pioneer nobles. You obviously have something to ask for... Why are there so many troubles today? Did I really offend the goddess of order, Eunomia?
"Just say what you want to say. I don't feel like being polite right now."
The boss smiled awkwardly: "Sir, if you were a pioneer lord, I think you might be willing to discuss business..."
