Chapter 442
The cities in the other world would have curfews from time to time, and travelers could only find hotels outside the city to stay. The industry was spread all over the continent.
When there was no one in the carriage, it was much easier to drive. After only a quarter of an hour, a fork in the road appeared beside the road.
Looking in the direction of the fork, a few dim lights could be vaguely seen not far away in the heavy snow.
Everyone immediately regained their spirits and walked towards the hotel at a faster speed.
Leaving the three small pets that were easy to attract attention in the warm carriage, several people pushed open the door of the hotel, and the aroma of food, alcohol and heat mixed together.
There were several tables on the first floor, all eating hot pot, which was very lively.
Lin was a little surprised to see that there were more than ten people eating. Then he thought that the God's Birthday had just ended, and many people left their hometown to continue working, so the hotel business recovered a little.
It was normal to have more guests.
The freckled girl came up to them immediately: "Guests, do you want to stay in the hotel? It's going to snow for a while tonight."
As she spoke, her eyes stayed on Lin, and her eyes suddenly showed her care.
Fei Miao stood in front of Lin without saying a word. The girl turned her head away quickly when she was stared at by her empty eyes.
"Please, little girl, help us feed the trotting beasts and take them to the stable to keep them from freezing. We are going to stay here for one night."
"Okay."
The girl responded, called her father, called the innkeeper out, and then went out.
Several people opened the room, ordered hot pot and a bunch of dishes, put two tables together, and sat down.
"Master, I didn't expect there is hot pot here. It's comfortable in such a cold day."
The two knights have been with Lin for a long time, and they are more familiar with each other. They are not as restrained as they were last time in the Glowing City.
Lin glanced at B, took off his gloves and plain glasses: "But, you can't drink alcohol, and you have to be careful at night."
"We know."
"I can finally have a good sleep tonight!"
Iris clapped her hands happily, and suddenly thought of something, puffed up her cheeks and looked at Lin: "Little Lin, you can't flirt with other girls, okay?"
"What does it have to do with me? I didn't do anything, okay!"
Rin was very upset, and grabbed Iris's hair, and bullied the stupid roe deer for a while before he stopped.
The double-flavored pot was quickly served, and the dishes filled the table, and the pot was bubbling.
Rin's appetite was opened, and seeing that Fei Miao couldn't wait, he put a plate of beef in.
Putting a piece of beef into his mouth and drinking a small sip of the clear soup, Lin raised his eyebrows, with a satisfied look on his face.
Everyone was eating happily with chopsticks flying.
There is nothing better than eating hot pot in winter. If there is, it can only be to freeze for half a night and then soak in hot springs.
They were the last to arrive. It was late. After eating for a while, there was only this table left on the first floor. The other guests went upstairs to rest.
The boss and the boss's wife were busy cleaning the tables and the hall.
The girl sat at the front desk bored, secretly glancing at Lin from time to time, with a crazy look.
Iris was full and wanted to go to the room to take a hot bath. Xiye took her away. Only Fei Miao and two people were left at the table, still fighting with the hot pot.
Lin was also full and leaned back in his chair to enjoy it. His eyes turned and his eyes fell on the boss.
"Boss, how far is it from here to Pudding Town?"
"Not far, not far, only about ten kilometers, but with such heavy snow, the snow will be very deep tomorrow, and the road will be difficult to walk on."
"Then we will leave the carriage here first. Please keep an eye on it for us, and we will pay you extra."
The boss could also see that the boy and girl were very rich, and they were nobles who came out to visit relatives. He smiled heartily and patted his chest.
"It's okay, leave it to me, I guarantee that not a single hair will be lost. If one is missing, you can pull out my hair."
Rin looked at his few but very stubborn hairs and couldn't help laughing.
"By the way, have you met Father Anthony?"
"Of course I haven't seen him. He helped cure my daughter's illness."
"Yes, yes." The girl agreed as soon as she saw the opportunity to talk to Lin, "It was last year, and it hasn't been half a year yet."
The boss continued, "At that time, Pani City was closed, and the healer in Pudding Town was also away. I thought I had to go a long way to treat my daughter's illness, but thanks to his potion, the illness was cured quickly."
Rin asked subconsciously; "Is he also a pharmacist?"
"I think so, I don't know anything else."
According to the records, this priest is a water magician, but it is not mentioned that he also has the ability to make potions.
However, pharmacy can be used as a secondary job, and ordinary potions do not require the rank of alchemist, so there is nothing strange about it.
Rin didn't take it to heart, and turned to ask if there were any strange things happening recently, such as who was attacked and rumors of monsters.
The boss and his daughter both said no, including that they didn't know about the priest being attacked.
"By the way, did you know that a few adults from the church passed by here yesterday?"
The girl said: "Of course I know. They came to the hotel yesterday and today to inquire about the situation. It's really strange. What could happen in such a peaceful place like Pudding Town?"
The hotel is well-informed and not far from Pudding Town. They don't know what happened in Pudding Town, which at least proves that those people are relatively safe.
Rin was relieved a little, and stopped asking, chatting about this and that.
When the hot pot was finally finished, Rin took Fei Miao back to his room.
Although it was a roadside hotel, the rooms were not big, so only two people could live together.
Fortunately, it was cleaned very neatly, and there was heating and hot water.
It was so comfortable to stay in a warm room, take a hot bath and get into bed in the snowstorm.
After urging Fei Miao to take a bath together, Rin couldn't wait to lie on the bed, spread his limbs, and hum a few words comfortably.
Rin lay on the bed, sorted out the information he got today, and couldn't figure it out for a while. He yawned a few times and fell asleep with his head tilted.
Chapter 84 Rin still didn't know that he would be forced to push
The next morning, Rin, who had a good sleep, hummed a song and opened the door of the hotel.
The cold wind blew instantly, and Rin shuddered, and his brain suddenly became much clearer.
Walking out of the room, Lin looked at the weather. The sun finally came out today, and the snow was melting. The road in front of the hotel was swept last night, but now it was muddy.
The sun was out, but today's temperature felt much colder than yesterday.
As we all know, melting snow absorbs heat energy.
"Brother, be careful."
Xiye caught up and put the fur collar cloak on Lin, while helping him tie the cloak's laces and buckle the jewel decorations.
When she got close, a few strands of hair brushed against Lin's face, and Lin quickly turned his head away.
"Stupid sister, I'm not without hands, so I don't need someone to serve me!"
Xiye smiled at the well-dressed beautiful boy, and her eyes were full of joy.
"But I just like to take care of my brother."
"Tsk."
Lin pouted, muttered, grabbed Xiye's hand, turned around and shouted at the useless cat twice.
"Lazy cat, stop dawdling behind, let's go quickly.
Only Lin, Xiye and Emilia are going to Pudding Town together today, the latter because her observation eyes can be used.
The rest of the people, including the carriage, have to stay in the hotel.
This is also the decision that Lin has made. The thick snow on the road is not so easy to melt, and there is no way to use transportation, so you can only walk.
Rin is more concerned about his wife, so he asked her to stay and take care of Lin Wu Yue and the others. The two knights stayed together to protect the silly roe deer.
"Little Lin, go early and come back early!"
The silly roe deer waved his arms and jumped on the spot.
"I know, I know. "
Rin waved her hand, and was the first to go out of the gate of the hotel, and returned to the main road along the fork road.
There were still people clearing the snow on the fork road, and the snow on the main road was still very thick, and it was already above the calf when stepped on.
On such a ground, walking speed is much slower.
The three arrived at Pudding Town and walked for five or six hours.
Rin was able to persist in the ice and snow for so long, not only because of his increasingly good physique, but also thanks to Eve's foresight.
Among the various items she prepared, there happened to be low-level anti-cold potions, which allowed Rin to keep his torso warm except for the cold and numb hands and feet.
When he arrived at Pudding Town, the snow on the nearby roads had been cleared, and Rin finally stepped on relatively dry ground.
The town is not big. Not far along the central avenue, he saw the towering church building.
Rin opened I looked at the task bar, which was just a bunch of small commissions, nothing worth noting.
And the location of Charon in the dark night has not changed.
Rin was about to approach the church, and his peripheral vision happened to see two middle-aged people in red church judgments in the distance.
The two, a man and a woman, were accompanied by a nun, discussing something.
After entering, the judge was stunned when he saw Rin and the other two in front of the church.
They first noticed Xiye, and they all showed surprised expressions on their faces. Obviously, they recognized the sword master, and then all focused on Rin.
They were all people living in the same area, and they were more familiar with Rin than the clergy in the area. In addition, they knew who the sword master was protecting. The two looked at each other and hurriedly bent down to salute.
Rin stopped them: "Let's talk in the back."
Several people bypassed the church, opened the small door on the side, and went directly into a room in the residential area behind the church.
At this time, the two saluted together: "Greetings, His Highness the Son of God, may the holy light bless you. "
After a brief moment of confusion, the nun followed suit and saluted.
"May the Holy Light bless you. No need to be polite. Tell me about your investigation."
The three of them stood up. At Lin's signal, the two judges sat down, and the nun went to prepare tea.
"Your Highness, according to the results of our investigation, no one here knows that the priest was attacked, including the nuns."
Rin glanced at the young nun and asked, "Is the healer in the church?"
The nun turned around and poured tea for them, saying carefully, "The healer went back to visit his relatives after the priest left. This place is not far from other towns. If anyone is sick, they can go to other churches."
Rin touched his chin, "So, he might have been attacked on the road between Pudding Town and Pani City. "
Speaking of this, Lin felt that the system was too disappointing.
Why is the marked location range so large? Since the scanning range is more than ten kilometers, it would be better to narrow the mission location to within ten kilometers.
It saves him from having to go through so much trouble to find someone.
"Did your priest have any strange behavior before this? Did he say who would come to seek revenge on him?"
The nun shook her head, indicating that she knew nothing.
The other two judges also said that they had inquired about these contents.
Although they did not know that the murderer was in this area, they still asked all the possibilities and questions according to the investigation process.
Rin drank tea, glanced at Fei Miao, and lowered his head to think.
Fei Miao did not find anything unusual along the way... Speaking of which, the assassination of the priest was very suspicious from beginning to end.
Except for the therapist from Pani City who treated him and the old monk who was watching, no one knew about it. No matter how you think about it, there is an indescribable strangeness.
Finally, Lin put down the cup and asked in a deep voice: "Did you go to his room to check?"
The judge remembered something and said quickly: "By the way, there is a strange thing to report to His Highness the Son of God. Please follow us to the room where Father Anthony lives."
Rin stood up quickly, pulled Fei Miao up, and followed them to another door.
