"Landlady, to tell you the truth, Roger and I have just taken on a big business and are going to make a lot of money! If you don't believe me, just ask Roger!" Martin put his hands on his hips proudly.
"It's indeed a big deal." Roger picked up the check left by the old butler and waved it toward the window.
Although Mrs. Miller is old, her eyesight is very good. She can see the numbers on the check at a glance, and she has a smile on her face.
"Wow, we have to celebrate tonight! Detectives, what do you want for dinner? How about cream stew with two grilled quails?"
"Great, Mrs. Miller, if I can find someone I love, I hope she cooks as well as you do!"
"Little fat man, don't blame me for being nosy. You are too old to hang out in bars all day and waste your money and health on those dishonest women. You should be like Rogge and find a girl from a good family to date.
"
"I would like to have a serious girlfriend, but unfortunately I don't have the chance."
"Last week I introduced my niece to you on a blind date, and you met once and had a meal. Why didn't you contact me after that?"
"Please, your niece is ten years older than me, and I can tolerate it, but her husband just died and she has an eight-year-old boy! How can I, a good young man, fall in love with a widow with a mop?
"Martin complained angrily.
"What's wrong with the widow? She inherited a brewery from her dead husband. Once you get in, you don't have to worry about food or clothing. What a blessing!"
"What's wrong with raising a child? You got a son for free, and you won't suffer any loss!"
"Young people are ignorant, and a second-married woman loves her husband more than a little girl!"
"Okay, okay, please spare me!" Martin ran away with his head in his arms.
Roger smiled, waved goodbye to the landlady, and followed Martin out the door.
Martin ran until he ran into the street, then turned back and whistled to call the hound over.
"It's better to be this 'landlord', not so verbose." Martin stroked the hound's head.
The "landlord" wagged his tail and barked, not knowing whether he was agreeing with or opposing the owner's comments.
Roger stopped a taxi, asked Martin and the hound to get in the car, and drove to the church.
"Let's go to the church to find Louise first. If she's interested, we can take her to the mining area to investigate the disappearance case."
Roger said to his partner.
"Dark underground mines are occasionally connected to ancient tombs and are prone to breed undead creatures. This may be the source of the miners' mysterious disappearances. Bring Louise, a cleric, so you don't panic if you encounter the undead."
"I guess Miss Quinn is happy to participate." Martin laughed dryly and added weakly, "If she is helping out for love, brother, I think you won't mind, right? One less person to share the money with.
, it’s not a bad thing after all.”
Rogge glared at him and said angrily: "If Louise doesn't take her share of the reward, I will keep it for her, so you won't have to worry about it!"
As soon as the screen changed, the game scene switched to the mining area on the outskirts of Binhai City.
Roger, Louise and Martin, with their dogs, stood side by side at the entrance to the overgrown mine.
At the same time, both Gao Fei and Jiang Feng received system prompts and turned on the "God Advent Mode" to control the male and female protagonists respectively. The adventure in this chapter officially begins.
The mine has been shut down for two months, and rain has washed away the footprints of the miners who once used the tunnels. A set of rusty mine car tracks stretches from the entrance to the depths of the mine.
Jiang Feng used the "Dancing Light Technique" remotely to explore the way ahead.
Gao Fei provides support from the center.
Martin walked at the end of the team with his hound to guard against surprise attacks from behind.
The mine is close to an underground river bed and is wet and water seeping.
Water must be pumped regularly to drain water before construction can be carried out.
After the mine stopped working, the waterlogging was not drained in time. In the past two months, the water in the tunnel has been more than one meter deep, making it extremely muddy.
Gao Fei and Jiang Feng can use their professional ability to "fly over the wall" and climb the wall to pass the waterlogged section.
Martin did not have the ability to climb over cliffs, and he was unwilling to swim in muddy water like a hound, so he had a hard time standing by the water's edge.
Gao Fei is also helping him find a way.
Jiang Feng was idle and threw a "Dry Water Technique" towards the tunnel. The water surface squeaked and a large cloud of steam rose up.
Each time the spell is cast, 110 liters of standing water are evaporated, which is better than nothing.
Just as she was casting the spell absentmindedly, there was a sudden splash in the water and a white shadow jumped up.
Jiang Feng was startled and flew up the wall without thinking!
When I lowered my head and looked again, the strange white shadow had fallen back into the water and disappeared without a trace.
Gao Fei looked up at his girlfriend hanging upside down from the ceiling of the tunnel with a look of horror on her face, and asked her what happened.
"You all should be careful, there seems to be a monster in the water!" Jiang Feng lowered his voice and warned his companions.
Gao Fei and Martin looked at the water together, but other than the spreading ripples, they found nothing unusual.
Martin blessed his shotgun with the "Light Technique", which is brighter than the "Dancing Light Technique", and illuminated the nearby water surface.
The three people looked through the slightly turbid water all the way to the bottom. The water was empty and nothing strange could be seen.
"Louise, are you sure there is a monster in the water?" Martin muttered in confusion, "It looks normal!"
"I really saw it just now!" Jiang Feng stared at the water with confusion in his eyes, "The monster jumped out of the water. It looked like a big transparent water snake. It fell back into the water in the blink of an eye, and then disappeared without a trace.
trace……"
"The big transparent water snake..."
According to Jiang Feng's description, the first thing Gao Fei thought of was the water element.
However, only the lower body of the water element resembles a python, while the upper body takes on a vague human shape, with a head and arms. It doesn't quite fit Jiang Feng's description, and it doesn't have the ability to be invisible. Maybe she didn't see it clearly when she took a quick glance?
No matter what, be careful when sailing.
Gao Fei thought for a moment and took out a leather lantern from the astrolabe storage space.
This is a magical device he obtained by killing the Tree Rope Demon when he rescued William Gordon, the son of the police chief, in the bugbear lair, called the "Visual Lamp."
Goofy opened the lampshade and recited a spell, and the lantern immediately emitted magical light, illuminating the surrounding sixty-foot space.
Within the range of light radiation, all invisibility effects will be dispelled, and invisible creatures will also be marked with "demon fire".
Gao Fei shined the lantern on the water, and sure enough he found two translucent snake-shaped figures lurking at the bottom of the water, surrounded by a circle of orange-red fluorescence, which was the characteristic of "demon fire".
Once marked with "demon fire", even if Goofy extinguishes the lantern, these two monsters hiding under the water will temporarily lose their invisibility and become particularly conspicuous, and any attack launched against them will have its own advantages.
