Skretil's Ignorance Walker

Chapter 758 A Little Life

The next morning, Lu Ren went out to see if she could find any clues. Although she didn't know Lu Ming's whereabouts and no one had returned to the base they had found before, Lu Ren still strolled on the street with the mentality of giving it a try.

As he walked, Lu Ren inadvertently came to a place that looked like a sports plaza. At the same time, huge cheers and applause broke out from inside, making Lu Ren curious about what events were being held there.

Later, Lu Ren inquired and found out that this duel arena was different from the duel arena where Vera and the others played cards. The competition here was a real duel. Although there were some safety measures and rules, many people still died there every year.

The people of Frannia, or this world, are more martial, and this place is even an official property of Frannia, so there was no boycott. Instead, many people came to watch, just like the horse racing in Lu Ren's previous life. Some people even opened the betting, and many people made huge profits from it.

Of course Lu Ren was not interested in these, she just stood at the entrance and looked inside for a few seconds. However, Lu Ren did find a very interesting phenomenon, that is, many spectators who had placed bets would throw their ticket stubs on the ground when they left, and some people would go forward to pick them up and check to see if there were any winning tickets that were accidentally discarded. Although the money was not much, it was still some income.

"Excuse me, Miss, could you please make way for me?"

Just as Lu Ren was subconsciously observing this behavior, a middle-aged man's voice came into her ears. Lu Ren turned around and found that it was a slightly fat man wearing a beige windbreaker, who was looking at Lu Ren with a smile on his face.

Perhaps it was because the clothes Lu Ren was wearing were expensive, beautiful and lovely, which made the man very respectful to Lu Ren.

"Oh……"

Lu Ren thought he was blocking his way, so he took a few steps back. However, what Lu Ren didn't expect was that the man didn't want to pass through here. After Lu Ren moved aside, he bent down and reached out to pick up the ticket stub that Lu Ren had accidentally stepped on. Lu Ren could even see his own clear footprints on it.

"Thank you for your cooperation."

After picking up the ticket and taking a look at it, the man showed an even happier expression, as if this ticket had just won the prize. He excitedly said goodbye to Lu Ren, and then trotted all the way to the prize redemption office.

"..."

Lu Ren felt a little helpless about this. Although she didn't know how much money this could bring, it shouldn't be much, just a small profit. But even so, there were still many people who would come to gamble, and Lu Ren couldn't blame anything for this. This was also part of the social rules here.

"Forget it, let's go somewhere else..."

Lu Ren sighed and planned to look somewhere else, but just as she was about to leave, she heard passers-by talking about something that interested her.

"Have you heard? The farm in the north was robbed again."

"Yes, it's spreading all over the city now. This is the third time this has happened. Everyone was killed. This is horrible!"

Hearing this, Lu Ren became interested. It seemed that something bad had happened recently. Could it be related to the hermitage? Lu Ren thought he could go and take a look.

"Excuse me, could you tell me more about what happened just now?"

With the help of magic, Lu Ren successfully obtained the information he wanted.

It turned out that during this period of time, some rich peasants' farms on the northern outskirts of Xidao City were robbed, all the valuables inside were taken away, and those rich peasants were all killed. So far, there have been three such cases.

What Lu Ren was concerned about was whether this was related to the monastery. She found out the approximate location of the accident and flew over.

Soon, Lu Ren found the farm. At this time, the on-site exploration seemed not to be completed yet, and some dragoons were surrounding the farm.

Lu Ren wanted to go in and take a look, but she knew that the dragoons would definitely not let her in easily, so she was thinking of a way, and then she saw an old acquaintance.

"That's... Wildy! Wildy!"

When Lu Ren saw that the leader was actually Wildi, she was very happy. She hurried forward to greet him. The other party also noticed her, so he asked someone to invite Lu Ren in.

"Long time no see, I'm surprised to meet you here."

"Me too. Are you investigating this case?"

Looking at Wildi with a long scar on his face and a very cold expression, Lu Ren was still a little uncomfortable. She still felt that the sunny and handsome look before was more suitable for Wildi.

"Well, I'm currently investigating these cases that I've discovered during this period."

"Hey, you're a guardian, and you're actually solving cases?"

Seeing that Wildy was actually in charge of these matters, Lu Ren began to tease, shouldn't these matters be handled by the law enforcement officers? As the guardian of Frannia, Wildy's status was not low, so why would he handle these matters?

"I can't help it. These cases may be related to the monastery, so I came to take a look."

And Wildi sighed about this. He was not good at these things, but since the king had given him full responsibility for the affairs of the monastery, Wildi had no choice but to come and take a look.

"Really? Does this have anything to do with the hermitage?"

It just so happened that Lu Ren also wanted to know about this, so he asked Wildi, but the other party shook his head.

"It's not clear yet."

"Yeah……"

Not getting the answer she wanted, Lu Ren turned her head and looked inside the farm. She could even see that a worker who worked on the farm had been killed and thrown on the ground. At the same time, Lu Ren also found a little magic power remaining on the body.

"Excuse me, can you please let me see the body?"

"Please."

After getting permission, Lu Ren approached the corpse and began to analyze the remaining magic power on it, while Wildi and his assistant followed Lu Ren silently.

"How's it going? Did you find anything?"

Wildi knew that he didn't know as much as Lu Ren about things related to magic, so after Lu Ren finished his examination, Wildi began to ask.

"Well... I haven't found anything yet, but I have recorded this magical aura. If I encounter the murderer, I can identify him through this aura."

Hearing this, Wildi nodded. Since they didn't have any clues now, this was already an improvement.

"Want to go take a look inside?"

"Ah."

With Wildi's invitation, Lu Ren went into the farm owner's house with Wildi. As soon as he entered the door, Lu Ren saw a naked female body tied to a chair and then pushed to the ground.

From the corpse, Lu Ren could see that before her death, this woman had experienced a lot of torture and humiliation. Even her breasts looked like they were burned. This made Lu Ren unable to bear to look at it, so he turned his head away.

"We found a survivor here, would you like to talk to her?"
