Chapter 1923 The Dog Asks for Help (Add More)

At 01:30 in the afternoon, under the suggestion of Miss Aurora, the great witch of "Light", Xia De was trying to perform "Moon Thorns" on the first floor in conjunction with the witch's secret technique.The witch had a new idea, trying to use those moonlight thorns as the outermost defense of the hotel.Only relying on Xia De's ability to cast spells is not enough, so she wants to rely on her own strength to assist Xia De in casting spells.

The two were discussing which location to use as the node for casting the spell, when there was a faint sound of barking amidst the pattering rain outside the hotel door.

The voice stopped outside the door, and Miss Aurora looked at her niece in surprise, so Miss Hayley Aurora opened the door, and soon discovered the situation outside the door:

"There is a puppy outside. It seems to be kicked by someone, and it is about to die."

"Puppy? Since you're here, let's check it out and bring it in and feed it some magic potion."

Miss Aurora said that she didn't really care about it.So the young girl called other sorceresses to check the puppy at the door, in case it was a trick like transfiguration.

Xia De didn't pay much attention at first, and was about to continue discussing with Miss Aurora about casting spells, but he looked outside the door again:

"Probably not."

He walked to the door, peeked out at the curious eyes of the girls, and then frowned.

The little dog outside the door is the dog of Little John, the boy in the garbage alley.

Since the heavy rain, Little John has lived in the hotel as a helper.Seeing that although he is young, he works hard and has no bad habits, the Green sisters have decided to let him live here in the future, and Xia De has also arranged for "Paradise Island Pharmaceutical" to fund and pay for his future tuition fees.

But he definitely couldn't be left in the hotel today, it would be very dangerous after evening.If Shade remembers correctly, Mr. Soren Green arranged for a hotel servant who had a vacant room to take him away temporarily, and the puppy should have gone with him. Shade couldn't imagine why it would appear here.

He kept the weakened puppy alive with "False Immortality" before dropping a few drops of the potion into its mouth, and the serious injury was almost completely healed. This is what the Council prepared for tonight top healing potions.After the puppy regained its health, it barked at Xia De twice, then jumped off the table, trying to make Xia De follow it.

Shade then caught it, and then put 【Fish Training Ring】on its paw.

"The fish training ring can only be used by cats, seabirds and other species that like to eat fish. Fortunately, dogs are not among them."

The effect of the relic appeared almost immediately. The little dog who was still struggling to jump off the table was at a loss for a moment, then looked up at Xia De, and said in a childish voice that couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman:

"Save him, save him."

The fact that it can find this place on its own shows that it is quite intelligent.After having the [Fish Training Ring], I was able to fully tell what happened.

This matter was not very complicated. After the puppy described it, Shade decided to solve it himself.

"You don't need to go in person, it's still raining outside, I'll send someone to go."

Miss Aurora, who also listened to the puppy's narration, said, Xia De shook his head:

"Since this matter is related to me, I can solve it myself. I will come back in an hour at most, and then continue to discuss the Thorns of the Moon."

The witch also knew that Xia De couldn't be persuaded, so she found an umbrella for him, and watched him take the puppy into the rain under the umbrella.

Xia De did not take off the [Fish Training Ring], but let the puppy wear it to guide him.The accident happened on the banks of the Duin River, not too far from the Green Lake Hotel.So even without a carriage, Xia De arrived at the destination very quickly.

The heavy rain washed away the blood stains, and there were no many people on the small pier in the urban area as the puppy said, only the boy's shoes were left in the grass beside the pier.

The surface of the river was hit by the fierce heavy rain and made circles of ripples. The puppy couldn't track the smell in this weather. The only weakness of Xia De's [Echo of Blood] in tracking blood under normal conditions was the rain and the river.

"Tell me again what happened here."

Xia De straightened his waist while holding the umbrella, and said to the little dog at his feet who was still desperately trying to smell its master's scent.

"Master, John, went to the house with the fat woman at noon, and ran out after dinner. He heard that many people by the river picked up treasures, and some people picked up very rare playing cards, so he wanted to find you a card." .”

Xia De knew all this information.

"There are a lot of people looking for treasure by the river. Those men found something, and then they fought for some reason. The owner wanted to leave, but a man said that he saw that the owner found something good, so he asked the owner to hand it over. But The master didn't find anything, he didn't have anything, so he was slapped several times by that man and passed out. I wanted to save the master, but I was kicked, so I had to go to you."

Although this puppy does not have the temperament of a "philosopher" like the goat not long ago, it describes things quite clearly.

Xia De frowned slightly, and was about to jump into the river to try to find more clues, but at this moment the puppy barked at another bush.

After Xia De pushed aside the grass, he saw a gold bracelet.After picking it up, I was sure that it was definitely pure gold jewelry, and it looked like an antique.The bracelet was stained with blood that hadn't been washed away.

"Whispering Elements."

Traces of the elements are rather faint, but the item is just a generic item.Some kind of relic has added the power to cause greed to this jewelry, but for Shad who has the [Greed] spirit rune, this weak spiritual influence can be completely ignored:

"The rumor of the treasure in the river is indeed related to the relic."

Thinking in his heart, he took out an empty wine bottle, sucked the blood into the bottle as the raw material of [Blood Brewing], and then dripped the fermented wine into his eyes.After blinking his eyes, the blood-colored shadow of a burly man stretched from the pier all the way to the roadside tavern.

Dropping blood into the eyes to observe the blood trail is to use the reverberation power of blood and time and space, so it is not afraid of rain.

Without taking off the puppy's [Fish Training Ring], Xia De took it across the street to the tavern.After pushing the door and entering, there were more than 30 people in the tavern who were sitting on the left and right sides, and they all looked at Xia De together.

It was warm and dry inside the tavern, but most of these people were dripping with water, and some had towels covering their heads.As for the tavern itself, it is a common downtown tavern in the downtown area of ​​Green Lake.The only thing worthy of praise is that on the back wall of the tavern, there is a huge knitted blanket, and the pattern of the blanket is roughly a map of the Old World.

These men who seem to be facing each other on the left and right are located on the north and south sides of this huge map of the old continent.

"Sir. We are closed today, please leave."

Xia De didn't pay attention to the gazes of the 30 people looking at him together, so the tavern owner sitting on the right side of the crowd got up and said, Xia De then turned and closed the door.Of course, he closed the door in the tavern.

Eyes look at two groups of people:

"Are you all people picking up treasures by the river? There are so many people?"

It was obvious that someone in the crowd wanted to stand up and throw Shade out.Fortunately, the tavern owner wearing an apron and holding a gun did not want to have a conflict on his territory:

"We are the people of De La Rion, and these people on the opposite side are the people of Carson Rico."

He first pointed to himself, and then pointed to the thirteen people who were confronting them:

"These southerners suddenly appeared here today. They said that they came here after walking in the city of glass. Hmph, illegal entry sounds so nice."

The tavern owner snorted. As for the unserious men around him, they were probably gang members from the neighborhood, or gangsters who had been drinking in the tavern all year round.To be able to open a tavern in this neighborhood, he must know a lot of people.

"So, you guys started fighting just now?"

Xia De asked again, finally someone couldn't help it now.Sitting behind the tavern owner, the man taller than Shad by a head, with a hound tattooed on his right arm, patted the table and stood up:

"If you don't want to be thrown out by us, get out now!"

Xia De skillfully touched his waist, and at the same time as the revolver was taken out, the two groups also took out their weapons.As a pistol was raised with a click, under the dim light of the gas lamp in the tavern, not only Shad was aimed, but the two groups also aimed at each other.

More than 30 people had fifteen or sixteen guns, and the muzzles of the three parties pointed at different people like a triangle.

Shade looked at the others with his pistol in his hand, and the others looked at him, while the dog looked at them all at his feet.

After a second of silence in the tavern, Xia De took the initiative to speak:

"I'm not looking for trouble, just answer my two questions and I'll be leaving right away."

No one put down their pistols. The tavern owner frowned and asked:

"What do you want to know? If you want the treasure too, go up the river to find it, but I warn you that no one who tried to find the treasure came back."

Shade ignored him:

"The first question is, for some property, you openly used guns and even killed people in the city. Are those things enough for so many of you?"

As mentioned in the puppy's description just now, when the boy tried to leave the crowd, those people had already fired their guns.

The fat owner of the tavern restrained his urge to curse, and said in Delarion with an accent:

"Of course it's not just for the treasure, but also because they are Kasenliks."

More than a dozen people behind him immediately echoed:

"Yeah, not just for treasure. They're Southerners!"

"They want to steal our stuff!"

"Since these things appeared in the upper reaches of the Duin River, they belong to the Delarion people!"

"Yes, we must unite and defeat these Carson Riks!"

"Are you still not a Delarian? Do you think we are doing something wrong?"

"Damn it! Are you a traitor?"

"You have been disloyal to Delarion!"

Those chaotic echoing voices accused together in the chaos, and did not mention the treasure at all in their words, only emphasizing their respective identities.They spoke righteously, some of which they had apparently heard from the newspapers and from people who had recently marched.Obviously these vigorous illegal social organizations in the lower city have nothing to do with the dispute between the North and the South, but they are still able to say such things.

Of course, the guns in everyone's hands did not move at all because of this.
