Heaven’s Intention

Romon noticed the expressions of the team members. Knowing that it is not time to investigate now, I stood up and looked around again. There were signs of broken trees, but there were many strange small pits on the ground, and the ground was full of messes. Because the land here is still relatively soft, so It is easy to leave traces. If you go elsewhere, the soil will gradually harden. If you walk a little further, even those strange small pits will disappear.

Sure enough, as Farfell said, there were no useful clues left.

Fafel, I didn't find anything useful. It seems that we can only wait for the wounded to wake up. Romon wiped the dirt on his hands, stood up and said.

The floating soil was contaminated by his touching the surrounding vegetation. Putting it on the tip of his nose to smell it, a very faint breath came faintly, similar to the one he felt just now. This kind of breath can be found in the surrounding vegetation.

However, it may be because too much time has passed, and this aura is gradually weakening. It is not impossible to follow the trace of the monster with this aura, but it is too dangerous.

Farfell is not a Druid, and he doesn't have Romon's keen observation ability, so he can't even feel this breath. The only clues that can be counted are the conditions of the monster and the strange things on the ground. small pit.

Unfortunately, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't figure out how these traces were left and what they represented.

It seems that we can only wait for the wounded to wake up. Farfer couldn't help sighing, his face was still not very good-looking, and he was still depressed because of his negligence: Romon, I think that I It's really useless to be the captain, this kind of thing happened to the team members. I can't even avenge them, my captain is really useless.

Knowing his mood at this moment, Romon patted Farfell on the shoulder as he walked past him. Let's go, the murderer will be found. Don't worry, the dead will not die in vain. He didn't want the captain's confidence that Farfer had cultivated so hard to disappear just because of this incident.

Faffel's biggest weakness now is that he was born as a commoner and lacks self-confidence.

Yes! The dead will not die in vain! I must find the murderer and make him pay the price in blood! Romon's words revived Farfell, clenched his fists, and the young captain's face He showed a determined look again. Seeing that Romon had already walked a few steps, he followed his footsteps again.

And the other adventurers couldn't help cheering up when they saw that these two adults had such confidence. That's the way things are, if the leader is full of confidence and fighting spirit, then the people below seem to have a backbone. Will cheer up too.

Even if no useful clues were found, however,

The next defense cannot be relaxed. Now, the killing of monsters has been spread throughout the territory, causing people to panic.

After returning to the village, it was dawn. As the interior officer, Nick had issued an announcement to let people in the territory not to panic. He also announced that if anyone could find the trace of this monster, they would be rewarded by the lord. For a while, the original panic situation did not continue to spread. Instead, it was a kind of common hatred.

Have you found any traces of monsters?

No, How about you?

This kind of dialogue became common among people in the territory when they met. Of course, the people who said this did not really see that terrible monster, and they all automatically imagined it as a common beast.

People who know martial arts all took out their weapons and patrolled around in groups of three or four, while those who were unable to protect themselves all gathered together to discuss what to do next, or just stay honestly. home.

but. Because there are a lot of adventurers here in Romon, just look, in the territory of Romon at this time, people with weapons and scrutiny can be seen everywhere. There are very few people hiding at home.

And when Romon and Faffel came back, good news happened to come from the checkpoint.

My lord, wake up! Wake up! Derry wake up! An adventurer who was in charge of caring for the wounded ran over excitedly and shouted. Derry is the name of the wounded man.

Hearing the news, a look of surprise appeared on Romon's face: I'll go and have a look.

With that said, he pushed open the door and strode into the room.

The room still had that unpleasant smell, but the person lying on the bed had already sat up on the cushion, was being carefully supported by others, and was drinking oatmeal.

My lord. Seeing Romon walking towards him, the man reflexively wanted to sit up.

Luo Meng hurriedly held him down: Don't move, I'll do it. He said, very carefully took the empty bowl from the other party's hand, put it aside, and then. Ask: How are you feeling?

When had the wounded been treated so courteously by a nobleman, his eyes turned red, and then he shook his head and said, It's nothing.

I think you already know that one of your companions has been bitten to death by a monster. Now I want to ask you, did you see the appearance of that monster clearly at that time? Romon asked. Although he already knew, he still wanted to Ask carefully.

When the wounded man heard this, he immediately became excited: My lord, that's a big spider! A big spider as tall as a person. It's covered with black hairs, and it's very fast!

Don't get excited, speak slowly, slowly. Luo Meng frowned slightly.

The wounded man took a sip of the water that Nick handed over, and then, Nick took the water and put it aside, Romon nodded to Nick, satisfied with his approach.

After drinking the water, the wounded man stabilized his mood a lot, and continued: That spider is about as tall as a person, and its whole body is black...

Ten minutes later, Romon walked out of the checkpoint's room.

Romon, what do you think of this? Farfell followed and asked.

Romon shook his head: I've never seen such a monster, and it's rare to hear of such a huge spider in the forest.

Yes, I haven't seen it. Farfell was also worried, and he looked at Nick who came out at the end. Nick, you often read books, do you have any impression?

Records of this kind of monster are not found in ordinary books. Romon, let's go to the library of the Mage Association. Nick thought for a while and suggested.

Romon nodded: Well, it can only be like this. Nick's reminder made him suddenly think of the information he saw in the library of the Mage Association last time. Could it be related to that?

Thinking of this, he explained a few more words to Farfer and Nick, and quickly rushed to the Mage Association. This time he didn't take a carriage, but chose a very good horse, and rode to the city.

Although it was dozens of miles away, Romon gritted his teeth and insisted. When he entered the gate of the Mage Association again, he was greeted by the beautiful girl from last time.

Seeing Romon, the girl was obviously also very surprised, the interval was not long, and she still remembered him. My lord, are you here to look up books again this time?

Yes. Romon said simply. I'm in no mood to talk now.

I hope you can find what you are looking for! Please come in! The girl said with a smile, and sent Romon to the corridor leading to the hall, and stood still.

This time she didn't need to lead the way, so the girl didn't continue to accompany her.

Thank you. Romon was very satisfied with the service attitude of the Mage Association. After thanking him, he walked directly through the lobby to the VIP room that he had visited last time.

There, he was greeted by a young man wearing a mage robe with two long lines drawn on his chest. He seemed to be a second-level mage!

Seeing Romon come in, he glanced at his noble badge: Hi, is there anything I can do for you?

Romon handed him the crystal card that recorded his identity, and said, I want to go to the library.

Okay, please wait a little longer. The boy put the crystal card on a magic device to test it, and then his smile became more sincere: Here, please come with me.

Returning the crystal card to Romon, the boy brought Romon back to the library he visited last time.

Just like last time, there is still a layer of energy flowing outside.

The mage boy used a method that Romon didn't know, and when he swiped somewhere, the energy layer disappeared immediately.

My lord, please come in. This energy shield is set up to ensure the safety of the library. Professionals below the fifth level are not allowed to enter. Once they reach the fifth level or are led by us, they will be eligible to enter and exit at will. .” The boy explained.

Romon nodded. I know that this layer of energy won't affect me when I go out.

Yes, my lord. Seeing him, he understood, the boy didn't say much, and led him all the way to the inside of the library. Then, say goodbye and leave.

It wasn't until the boy left that Romon looked here again. Just like when he came last time, there was still no one else here. In the huge library, there were countless books, but he was the only one reading them.

Romon shook his head self-deprecatingly, and then began to flip through the books.

Because the injured adventurer said that the monster was a large spider, and he had been worrying about the gap before, so the focus of his inquiry this time was around the strange things that happened in the territory, as well as the terrifying monsters and mutations. Animals and other inquiries.

This isn't it. Opening a book casually, he found that it was filled with the most common forest beasts, and Romon put it back depressed.

Read another book, still the same: Look over there.

Talking to himself, he walked to another large bookshelf and continued to look through it.

No no. Nothing at all. After looking through it for two hours, Romon did not find any relevant records.

Goal, the next bookshelf.

The books on this shelf seem to be about strange animals. Romon took down a thick book from the side of the third grid, and there was a layer of floating dirt on the book.

Romon blew on it and began to look through it.

Huh? When he turned to page 156, a description of a monster immediately caught his attention.

One person tall, black all over, living underground all year round, carnivorous, bloodthirsty, strong reproductive ability... black spider monster!

Strictly speaking, it looks like a huge arthropod. Its shell is dark brown, so it looks like black. Its whole body is slowly oozing green and black hair. It has eight eyes. About a meter long - but two meters if you include the long claws

Basically, there are traces of their activities only in the underground world.

Luo Meng looked carefully, and for a moment, he closed the book with a heavy face.
