114 push the boat down the river
After discovering that Downey didn't mean to invite himself into the house, Sheriff Tobis didn't say anything, looked at Downey and said; "Mr. Roddy Booker?"
Donnie nodded, ready to use confusion and hypnosis against the person in front of him.
I believe it is enough to dispel this person's suspicions.
"What's the matter with this late hour?" Downey's face was full of displeasure.
"Of course, as far as I know, you're staying at this inn this evening, right?"
Donnie nodded, feeling that the probability of using magic against Tobis had increased considerably.
"There's no long-distance bus after five o'clock every night, and you don't drive here, so you can't come on foot, right?"
Tobis said, eyes fixed on Donnie.
Downey naturally didn't eat his set, but just as Donnie was about to use a spell to dispel his doubts, Tobis suddenly laughed and said:
"You're the one sent by the Federation to investigate the destruction of the Stoine cemetery, right?"
Downey was stunned for a moment when he heard him say this, obviously, Tobis recognized the wrong person.
"No..."
Downey was about to deny it, when he suddenly changed his mind.
No matter how he rebelled against his fate at the mercy of others, Donnie had to gain great power.
5.7 skill points is still too little, and Donnie still has to get more skill points, as well as universal points.
Even though Downey felt that there might be something wrong with this, much like someone was plotting against him, he eventually let Tobis into the room and asked him what was going on here.
The process is simple, draw a blank card and use a spell to slightly affect Tobis's memory.
Tobis is a veteran police officer who has been in the industry for more than ten years, and although he is just an ordinary person, he has a lot of experience.
The law and order environment in the town of Canafus is relatively good, and there are not many cases throughout the year.
But there is one thing that has always been Tobis's heart disease.
That is, in the swamp outside the town of Canafus, some terrible ritual is often performed at night.
To this end, Tobis organized several times to venture into the swamp, but to no avail.
Tobis reported the matter to the Federation, but received no response.
This was just the beginning, as the fires and figures in the night did not hurt the townspeople.
But the problem has become more serious lately.
After a rainy day, the night watchman from the Stoin cemetery, east of town, came running to find Tobis.
The rain washed away the dirt in the cemetery, and the aging night watchman failed to notice in time that the cemetery had been dug up.
Most of the bodies that had recently been buried had disappeared, leaving only an empty coffin lying in the pit.
This is a serious matter, after all, the people buried in the Stoin cemetery are the residents of this town.
After a difficult search, the frightening facts were discovered by Tobis and others.
Many of the bitten stumps were found in the trees in the swamp outside the town of Canafus, some thought they might have been the work of some kind of scavenging beast, and the cemetery's caretaker was too old to find them.
But Sheriff Tobis felt that it wasn't that simple, so he reflected the incident as a progress in the swamp night ritual.
This time he got a response from the Federation, and someone would come and help him solve the matter here.
Tobis was once involved in a mysterious incident, and he knew that there was a mysterious world in this world that was not known to ordinary people.
Later, for some reason, Tobis avoided the memory modification process and saved this rare memory.
Because of this, when Tobis found the limbs in the tree, he immediately thought of the mysterious event.
From what he learned, for a few days, only Downey was the best match for his goals.
Tobis was also dazed before he went straight to Donnie.
Downey asked Tobis about the date of the federal reply, August 7.
After hearing the answer, he immediately realized that no one would come over anytime soon.
Even if the Federation really planned to send extraordinary people to investigate, the trip would be delayed if there was a matter of Maple Valley and the Farabeta District.
Thinking of this, Donnie immediately made a decision not to leave tomorrow and stay to investigate the mysterious incident in the town of Canafus.
The reason why Donnie dared to do this was very simple, he now figured it out, the entire Farabeta District had disappeared, all the extraordinary people in Maple Valley had died, and the Transcendent Organization in Hushir State would have to be in chaos for at least a while, and during this time, as long as he didn't make any big noise, the chances of being discovered by Fort Thirteen and other Transcendent Organizations were very small.
So Donnie went along, confessed his identity, and sent Tobis away.
Donnie also used hypnosis to suggest to Tobis that he was reliable and that he would not have to verify his identity with the Federation when he returned.
The middle-aged sheriff was very decisive, and left here directly after agreeing with Donnie on tomorrow's departure time.
Downey's room was quiet again, and he was the only one sitting in the dark and thinking.
Downey was a little worried about what was going to happen in this matter.
"No matter what happens in the future, at least not for now!"
Thinking so, Donnie's gaze became firm.
-------------------------------------
At eight o'clock the next morning, a horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of the hostel.
Early in the morning, Donnie took out his notebook and sent a message to the people at Fort Thirteen.
Daria had a certain position in the branch of Myzuri at Fort Thirteen, so Donnie told her directly what had happened at Mount Lalik.
As for whether she will believe it, that's her business.
Driving outside the hotel turned out to be the young police officer Mike that Downey met yesterday, and after getting in the car, Downey found out that Tobis turned out to be Mike's father...
"Mr. Roddy, if you don't have an opinion, how about we go to the Stoin Cemetery first?"
Tobis had a gun on him, as did Mike, who sat in front of the carriage.
They seem to be ready for battle, and I don't know if they can come in handy when they are really in danger.
"The road around the town of Canafus is in good condition, but the road leading to the cemetery and the swamp is difficult for cars, and it is convenient for horse-drawn carriages that are used to running this route."
Downey naturally didn't care about this little thing, and the carriage staggered forward, and after a while, it ran out of the town of Canafus.
The town has a very original character and seems to have not changed much since the day it was built, and the new houses have only expanded outward.
Before leaving the town of Canafus, Downey was able to get a taste of the scenery that was different from the towns around the Lake District.
The sound of horses' hooves crashing on the road faded away, and Downey found them running on a dirt road where the water had not cleared.
The trees on both sides of the road were taller, and Downey couldn't recognize them all.
However, the leaves of some maple trees are already a little reddish.
For nearly half an hour, while Tobis yawned three times in a row, the carriage slowly stopped in a place that looked very deserted.
The iron fence enclosed a large clearing, the trees were cut down, and on the dilapidated marble door, a bust of a strange angel with outstretched arms was opening its arms to everyone.
Eccentric refers to the fact that this half-length angel has a head that resembles a crow. The wings on the back look very withered.
Downey's occult knowledge could not reveal the statue's exact identity, but the Eye of Knowledge was able to reveal the angel's name.
