As soon as her two friends took seats, the young Spirit Communicator found an excuse to discreetly sidle over.
Leonard Churchill looked at the young lady with round buns across from him, beckoning the bartender, ordering another drink for her.
Tracy Garcia curiously looked at Leonard Churchill in his local attire and asked,
“Mr. Leonard Churchill, why did you change into this outfit?”
However, as soon as the words left her mouth, she had an epiphany and slapped her forehead: “Oh, why didn’t I think of this? This would certainly help us collect more information.”
Leonard Churchill just smiled without saying much, raising his glass for a
toast.
Tracy Garcia also took off her face veil, took the cup, and drank a big gulp as if she was very thirsty. “You don’t know, I just chatted with the old lady at the herbal shop for a long time. I’m parched.”
Of course, Leonard Churchill knew.
Earlier, when he was wandering around the town, he wanted to visit the Potion Shop, but when he saw Tracy Garcia and the others lingering at the herbal shop, he didn’t go.
The three were there to find the Potion Formula, so going to the herbal shop
was the right thinking.
If someone else asked, he could save some time.
Leonard Churchill casually asked, “How did it go? Did you get any leads?” Tracy Garcia responded, “A little. We got several herbal formulas, but not what we wanted. We were chatting very well, but then the old lady’s son came back and said they were not welcome to us demon hunters and threw us out.
Speaking of this, she glanced at the rough hunters at the neighboring table and couldn’t help but criticize: “These guys have done bad things in town, and now everyone in the town is very hostile to us. It’s challenging to find clues.”
Leonard Churchill chuckled and thought of something, then asked, “Did you hear anything about an epidemic that happened in the town about half a year ago while at the herbal shop?”
“Huh… no.”
Tracy Garcia didn’t understand why he asked this, and replied, “We specifically asked for the epidemic formula. But the old lady said there’s none.
Leonard Churchill frowned upon hearing this and asked again, “Was there none, or was she avoiding it and not saying anything?
Tracy Garcia didn’t understand why his tone became serious and said, “It should be none. The old lady was very amicable. Oh, right, she also gave me
this.”
As she said it, she took out a ruby bracelet.
Magic Bracelet
Details: Wearing it can restore +50% of magical power; It is a necklace given to the potion shop’s boss by a witch named Yuna as thanks for her assistance when she was a Herb Apprentice.
With the Clown Mask’s cognitive enhancement, Leonard Churchill could see the origins of this necklace.
Equipment with exceptional effects is not cheap.
He surprisingly asked, “Did the Potion Shop owner give this to you?”
Tracy Garcia nodded, “Yeah. I shared some potion formulas with the old lady. Then she said those formulas were too valuable and gave me this witch s bracelet. She said she didn’t need it, so she gave it to me.
Leonard Churchill suddenly felt that it’s not just luck, but her affinity seems to have other benefits.
This is obviously a hidden plot.
Exchanging Potion Formulas, thus obtaining unique equipment.
While he was interacting with children, Tracy Garcia was getting to know the elderly.
Leonard Churchill asked with a purpose, while she did it unintentionally.
Both gained some unexpected rewards.
But whatsurprised Leonard Churchill more was something else. Seeing this bracelet confirmed something in Leonard Churchill’s mind again. The witch had come, but there was no epidemic. So how did so many people in the town die?
Leonard Churchill instantly concluded: “The mayor hid something!
This is plot mode, not puzzle-solving.
As long as you have these clues, it’s not hard to trace back.
The epidemic was mentioned by the townsfolk, but in reality, there was no epidemic.
The inconsistency stood out.
As the mayor, he definitely knew the circumstances, but he lied to the demon hunters, claiming it was an epidemic.
Then there’s the blacksmith from the Blacksmith Shop who lost control but didn’t.
“There’s something wrong with the people in this town…”
Leonard Churchill initially thought that it was just the mine with problems.
Now it seems that the origin of the problem still lies in Townsend Town.
Leonard Churchill’s mind sank into rapid reasoning, and he stopped talking for a while.
Tracy Garcia on the other side didn’t know what he was thinking, and after a glance at him, she looked somewhat uncomfortable and said, “Oh right, Mr. Leonard Churchill. Later we will hunt werewolves in the Burial Mountain Mine and I want to invite you to join us. Our team just happens to miss a puzzle-solving expert. Um… Both my partners and I think so.” This miss with round buns seemed a bit confused, getting her words jumbled
up.
Monster-slaying plot needs a puzzle-solving expert?
Leonard Churchill couldn’t help but grin at Tracy Garcia’s excuse.
This girl must have felt that she didn’t agree to team up earlier due to pride?
But after thinking about it, he agreed directly: “Sure.”
If nothing unexpected happens, it’s just a C-level difficulty which will help him get familiar with the plot.
If an unexpected event did occur, he couldn’t say for sure.
Leonard Churchill felt that the latter possibility was much greater.
He didn’t think much of it when he discovered that the Black Wolf Group made some minor moves earlier.
But when he thought about it afterwards, he found a serious issue.
The hunters in this entry are almost all from Sinless City.
What about the previous several batches?
Could they all have perished?
But strangely, Leonard Churchill observed earlier that there were none in the camp.
This was quite odd.
Leonard Churchill always assumes the worst possibility.
If it assumed correctly, then the Black Wolf Group must have played a significant role.
Killing hunters is pointless, as most hunters are not wealthy.
But if it was done to figure out higher difficulty plots, then it made sense..
