Chapter 351: The Ghost Lingers
"The territory has been attacked?"
I have to admit that when Jenn heard Enoa's report, he was still more or less taken aback. However, it is not because of the attack on the territory itself, in fact, although Jenn repelled the army of the Shining Gold Empire, there are always scouts and all kinds of spies who come here to trouble him. It's just that in the territory where there are aliens on the outside and the Wizard Knights on the inside, these guys are basically wiped out when they come in. According to Enoa, the attacker not only entered his territory, but also attacked the refugee camps and some villages and towns -- a clear provocation to Jenn himself. Not only that, but he actually escaped again and again?
"Yes, master."
For this, Enoa also seemed a little embarrassed. After all, during Jenn's departure, the entire territory was under her jurisdiction, and as a result, such a thing happened, and Enoa was naturally annoyed. However, she calmed down and introduced Jenn. According to Enoia, in the beginning, the attacker did not appear in Passus, but in a village in Frod. It only took him one night to kill all the people in the village. Not even a single one escaped his killing, so much so that it was not until the next day when a familiar caravan came to the village to trade that it was discovered that all the people were dead.
"Killing a village in one night?"
Hearing Enoa's answer, Jenn raised a frown. This is actually not a difficult thing, the villages on the Klein continent are not like the villages on the other side of the Jenn world, at least there are dozens or hundreds of families. In many cases, there are only a dozen households in a village at most. In total, there can be a maximum of fifty or sixty people, which is already a relatively prosperous village. In a more remote place, there are not no villages of more than a dozen people. Most of the villagers in these villages hunt. Farming for a living. Its own strength is the five scum of war, to say that it will kill them all quietly. As long as you have the heart, even a one-star combat power like Tilis can do it.
"A thief?"
"That's what most people thought at the time, and then another village was attacked near that village. No one had escaped, and the village was a relatively large gathering place in the area, which attracted the attention of the sheriff and the Templar Order, who conducted a joint investigation and concluded that the same person had done the same thing. And. Judging from the situation of the corpses, he didn't even use magic and weapons, but killed the villagers with both hands. ”
"That's funny, could it be a vampire or a werewolf?"
In Jenn's memory, those who fit this characteristic and like to go out at night are these two races.
The Templars thought so at the time, and they took over the matter, but after that, someone else was reprimanded. This time it's an estate on the periphery of the town of Capelo. It's the same night, it's the same nobody. ”
"The Templar must be mad."
Hearing this, Jenn couldn't help but shake his head. The Templar Order has always been cautious when it comes to such matters. They must have sent quite a few paladins and priests out on the parade, but they didn't expect the other party to be so bold -- you must know that in the town-level gathering places, there are basically Templar Orders. If the other party finds a village in the deep mountains and old forests to kill people, the Templar Order can be said to be unable to catch up. But the other party actually killed people under the nose of the Templar Order, which was a naked slap in the face of the Templar Order. If you can bear it, they should get out of here quickly.
"The Templars were really mad, they sealed off the town almost immediately. But ..............."
"They certainly didn't find the killer."
Enoa didn't finish. Jenn had guessed the end, and if the Templar Order was really that capable, then it wouldn't be his turn to have a headache.
"That's right, and the master wants to guess where he's going to do the crime next?"
"It was in Capolo before......... Aren't you going to sue me for running to Soit? ”
"Yes, master, he infiltrated the house of a nobleman in Soyt, and then continued to do the same thing, all the people in that nobleman's house."
"This guy is really getting bolder........."
Jenn frowned, the nobles were no better than ordinary people, most of them had private soldiers, and even recruited a lot of good squires and adventurers. Soyt is one of the surrounding big cities, and the nobles in it are not particularly prominent, nor are they goods that can be killed casually, let alone quietly. Because the aristocracy did not live in the wilderness for dozens of miles like the lords and peasants of the estates. Most of them live in one of the most heavily guarded places in the city, and such a place can be infiltrated by people without being aware of it, which means that the strength of that guy is difficult to predict.
Is it the Legend level?
Then he went to Bode, Banyuqiao, Wildberry, and Tuke......... Then came the Passus. ”
"And they killed all the way."
Jenn quickly understood the hidden meaning of Enoya's words, after all, there was more than one way to Passus, and if the other party went to Passus to do it again, no matter how powerful Enoa was, it would be impossible for Enoa to find out how the other party came from. But now she has almost made the other party's trajectory clear, which is already a clear proof in itself.
"Yes, master. Before he arrived, we had raised our vigilance, and we had ordered the Xenomorphs to patrol the perimeter. As a result, he still found a chance to sneak in. ”
"Didn't the magic trap work?"
"No, the other party doesn't seem to have taken the regular route, but jumped off a cliff."
"It's really out of the ordinary."
Hearing this, Jenn couldn't do anything about it, although he was very frustrated to build a lot of magic traps around Passus, but they were all in the place where humans could walk. As for a place like the one under a hundred-foot cliff, Jenn certainly wouldn't waste money and magic to lay any traps, after all, this kind of place is basically no different from suicide if people want to go to the past, and he doesn't need to do anything more.
"And then?"
"The patrolling alien hordes spotted him first, and after receiving the report, I sent the Wizard Knights there, and a fierce battle ensued. In the end, neither side was able to please—several of them were lost to the aliens, and two of the Wizards were seriously wounded. As for the other party, they took this opportunity to break the encirclement and fled. The next day, he attacked a refugee camp on the outskirts of Passus. ”
"Hmph."
Hearing this, Jenn's face couldn't help but turn cold. He didn't care about the lives of the refugees, in fact, even the lives of his own people, Jenn didn't strictly care. But this is his dungeon, his territory. Being recklessly messed with by such a guy inside, it would be hellish to say that Jenn didn't react.
Then Patilina personally led the team to capture the fellow............ But ........."
"In vain?"
"It's okay to return without success."
Enoa sighed at Jenn's question, and then she stopped. By this time, the two had already arrived in front of a bedroom on the second floor.
"I think you'd better go see her, master."
Hearing Enoa's answer, Jenn raised a frown, and he pushed the door open.
In the middle of the spacious, bright room, on a large ornate bed, Patilina lay quietly, her whole body covered in bandages, as if she was dying. However, Jenn could see at a glance that the little guy was turning left and right boredly at the moment, and he looked like he couldn't be idle at all. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Patilina looked up curiously, and when she saw Jenn, she suddenly rolled over and got up.
"The hosts! You're finally ......... Alas............!! ”
At the sight of Jenn, Patilina immediately jumped up, and the next moment she sat down on the bed with her teeth grinned, raised her left hand and slapped the bed vigorously, and after a few moments, the little one regained his original cheerful appearance and waved his hand at Jenn.
"You're back, master."
"I'm back."
In response to Patilina's greeting, Jenn glanced at the little guy in front of him. It can be seen that her injuries are not serious, but only a fracture of her right leg. However, this is already a rare serious injury for a legendary-level Cunzài.
The other party was actually able to beat Patilina to such a journey? Could it be that it is said that the strong man at the peak of the legend is not successful?
"Your injuries are okay."
Pulling his gaze away from Patilina, Jenn asked. Hearing this, Patilina suddenly showed a gritted tooth expression.
"Don't worry, master, it's just a small injury, it's not a big deal. In two days at most I'll be able to get back to normal, and by that time I'll be able to clean up that damn bastard!! If I hadn't been careless before, how could I have been attacked by that guy? Does he really think of himself as a thing?! Damn, I didn't expect that guy to become so strong, I knew I should have killed him with one shot in the first place............"
"You know him?"
Hearing Patilina's complaint, Jenn was stunned for a moment. Patilina blinked in surprise and replied.
"You know that, master, it's Alexander."
“…………… You mean to say that it was Alexander who beat you like this? ”
Hearing this, Jenn had to be surprised. Alexander's strength, he knew better than anyone, was basically a piece of rubbish, and later heard that his escape from the Templar prison caused Jenn some minor trouble. But after that, Jenn threw this guy behind, and he didn't expect this guy to run to his own territory to find trouble for himself, and looking at his appearance, he was able to fight with Patilina -- could it be that he is the protagonist of some kind of novel, who received the skills of a certain imprisoned predecessor in the prison of the Templar Church, and then learned what to swallow the stars and absorb the sun?
What's going on? (To be continued......)
