Chapter 442 Black Unicorn

"It's almost dark, why are you still wearing sunglasses?" Mira held up her sunglasses with her hand but didn't take them off.

Rhode also put on a pair of glasses for himself: "It's better to be careful when you go out. Remember to remind me when you get back. Let's go buy two pairs of plain glasses."

"So it was for self-defense. I thought he just liked seeing me wearing glasses."

"Then... I can like it."

The girl with glasses is great.

Just in case, Rhodes left two groups of stone beetles near the village pretending to be stones.

Then he summoned the river crab and rode it with Mira to quickly head to the crime scene the village chief had mentioned.

The village chief's description was not accurate. After arriving at the place, Rhodes released the shadow wolves and let them smell the blood carefully, and then dug out some buried and dried bloodstains.

Nearly half a month has passed, and pedestrians are coming and going on this road, and it is no longer possible to recognize the situation at the time of the crime.

However, there were neatly cut bushes and weeds on the roadside.

The fallen leaves and twigs had long since disappeared, but some deep cut marks could be felt on the ground nearby.

Mira squatted down and studied it for a while: "The perpetrator is either a master of swordsmanship or has mastered powerful wind magic."

Other than that, nothing can be judged.

Rhodes walked around the area but couldn't find any more useful traces.

After all, so much time has passed, whether it is footprints, hoof prints, wheel tracks, or the aura of magic, they have long disappeared.

The smell in the air was also very confusing and I couldn't tell anything.

Rhode shook his head: "If we really want to investigate, we can only go to the town to ask tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

With no other choice, they had to return the same way they came.

When they returned to the village, it was already dark. Both of them still wore their sunglasses, but the village chief did not ask any further questions because he had heard that there were many weirdos among wizards.

"Thank you for your hard work. May I ask..."

Rhodes shook his head: "There are too few useful clues. We can only be more cautious tomorrow."

Mira comforted him: "Don't worry, we will protect the safety of the village."

"Yes, please." Jasper led the two to the house they had been to last time. "My wife will be back soon to prepare dinner. Please wait for a moment."

"No need, we already ate on the way back, just take a rest."

Rhodes declined the village chief's kindness. He wanted to observe more and figure out what was wrong with the village chief before he could eat and drink with peace of mind.

At night, they took turns to take a bath.

A single man and a single woman are in the same room. No, an unmarried couple are in the same room and even sleep in the same bed.

Looking at Mira in her pajamas, Rhodes didn't dare to do anything.

It's not that I'm worried about the gun going off accidentally, but I'm worried that while I'm cleaning the gun, something might happen before I can fire it and I'll be forced to stop.

That would probably cause depression at best, or psychological trauma that would affect your happiness index at worst.

The two agreed that someone would always stay awake, one for the first half of the night and one for the second half.

Mira judged that Rod would not do anything reckless, so she happily used him as a pillow, rubbed it, found a comfortable position, closed her eyes and went to sleep.

As a result, Rhodes was sure that he would not be able to sleep tonight.

He stared at the dark ceiling with despair and could only switch his focus to the patrolling river crabs to divert his attention.

There was a waning moon hanging in the night sky, with bright moonlight shining down, and the view was pretty good.

A river crab ran around the wall outside the village twice but didn't find anything strange.

The other river crab was walking quietly in the streets of the village. Most houses had turned off the lights, but a few windows still had lights coming through.

If you don't have a mission and just come out to have fun and enjoy the scenery, I'm afraid it will be a unique experience in such a small village.

Rhode felt someone rubbing his chest. It was Mira who put her face close to him while she was sleeping. This was too much. He would make sure she would be punished after the mission was over.

The next morning, Mira tightened the pillow in her arms, touched around with her little hands, and opened her eyes when she felt something was not right.

Oh, so I slept with Rod in my arms at night.

Oops, I seem to have overslept!
Mira sat up suddenly and saw Rhodes' copper-bell eyes.

"Awake?" Rhodes also sat up and smiled at her messy hair.

People who stay up all night will feel a little abnormal the next day.

Mira asked with some annoyance: "Why didn't you call me at night?"

"You were sleeping so soundly, I didn't want to wake you up."

Although it is hard, it is not tiring.

Rhodes stretched out and was hugged by Mira, who slapped him on the face.

The two of them stayed together for a while, then went out together after washing up.

Young people, there is nothing wrong with staying up all night, just like staying up all night on New Year's Eve. It is also reasonable to stay up all night before the Harvest Festival.

The two river crabs have worked hard for almost a day and a night and have been sent back to Summoner's Rift to rest. The main force on guard today are the Razors.

It just so happens that they are numerous, can fly high and see far, and except that they cannot share the vision with Rhodes, they are good in every way.

Anyway, as long as you find any situation, just call the police.

The Shadow Wolves were too well-known, so Rhodes didn't play with them.

The village seems more lively today, and every household has decorated their houses in a festive manner.

However, unlike in the city, here people use strings of red peppers, yellow corn, purple eggplants and other brightly colored crops to hang in front of the door or under the eaves as decoration, instead of colorful flags and balloons.

At first glance, Rhodes might even suspect that he had come to a rural area in Northeast China. The bunches of large corn cobs looked very pleasing to the eye.

He wanted to pick some and stew them.

Mira took his arm and wandered around the village in the name of vigilance: "You seem very happy."

"Although I didn't farm, I felt the joy of the harvest." Rhodes said with a smile, "Compared to the simple celebration in the city, this is more like a real harvest festival."

As they were talking, three or five kids ran past them noisily, holding corn stalks with leaves stripped off them. The green ones had not yet been dried in the sun.

They chased and fought each other, imitating the stories they had heard from somewhere about knights and wizards fighting thieves.

The little girl named Teffy from yesterday was also among them, but she was empty-handed and was playing the role of a wizard.

In fact, when children used to play wizards, they would hold a stick as a staff.

But since the last time Rhodes and Mira came, the child who played the wizard no longer had a staff.

Inadvertently destroying the children's imagination.

Mira looked at the children's backs and smiled unconsciously. She was infected by their happiness and also thought that their children would be so energetic in the future.

Rhodes looked at the children's backs and laughed too, but he wanted to snatch a stick from the children to play with, as his hands were itching.

Driving out the idea of ​​'stealing the children's toys', Rhode looked at the beautiful vegetables hanging in other people's homes and suggested, "Why don't you buy some eggplants, corn, potatoes and the like when you go back and stew them?"

Mira blinked and asked, "Will you do it?"

"..." Rhodes thought for a moment and asked, "If I dare to make it, will you dare to eat it?"

Mira smiled sweetly: "As long as you make it for me, I can eat it."

Moving.

However, she added: "Toxins are ineffective against demons anyway."

Not moved.

Rhode said viciously: "Just wait, I will put half a pot of drugs in you, and then I will do this to you while you are asleep!"

"But have you ever thought about one thing?" Mira looked at him and said with a smile, "I'm the one who makes the breakfast you eat every day."

"..."

Mira pressed, "What do you mean by 'this and that'?"

Rhode was silent for a while, then said, "... maybe a leg massage or shoulder massage or something like that?"

"is it?"

"Yes...something's going on." Rhode put away his playful smile and said, "I'll leave the stone beetle and the shadow wolf here. You take them to watch over the village while I go outside to take a look."

"Okay, be careful."

"Receive·Raybeak!" Red feathers grew on Rhodes' arms and turned into wings. He flapped them a few times and flew into the sky, quickly flying towards the southeast.

——The razor-beaked bird in that direction took the initiative to return to the canyon, and he wanted to confirm the situation personally.

Mira watched Rod rise into the sky and assign tasks to the wild monsters.

The six shadow wolves and four stone beetles nodded obediently and dispersed and hid around as the proprietress instructed.

Mira herself ran towards the center of the village, which was the main venue and where the crowd gathered most densely, and it had to be well protected.

"Ms. Mira, I was just about to ask someone to invite you. The ceremony is about to begin..." Jasper looked around, "Where is Mr. Rhodes?"

Mira said: "I found something wrong so I went out to check. No need to wait for him, just hold the ceremony as usual."

Jasper suddenly became nervous: "Is there really someone here to cause trouble? I... I just... just wanted to be on the safe side..."

Mira comforted him, "The situation is still uncertain. We have to wait until Rhodes takes a look to know, but don't worry, we will solve it."

"Ah, yes."

Although I agreed, how could I not worry about the safety of the village?

Jasper asked, "Do you want me to organize the young people in the village to help?"

Mira smiled and said, "How many young people are there in the village? Are they more than Rhodes' army?"

"..." Thinking of the surging blue and purple army at that time, Jasper was no longer worried.

Thinking of this, Jasper wanted to condemn the media people of today. Some crappy magazine a while ago actually said that Mr. Rhodes' strongest men were a few wolves. What a fabrication!
The reporter must have never been bitten by a bug to say that.

"Then...then shall we continue with the festival?"

"Please continue."

After getting the OK, Jasper continued to gather the villagers with confidence. When most people had arrived, he went up to the podium and began to speak.

It talks about the difficulties and gains this year, thanks to everyone for their hard work, thanks to the magicians for their help, and even thanks to the gifts from heaven and earth.

After saying these words, Jasper picked up his wine glass, and the people standing in the front row near the podium did the same.

They dipped their fingers in the wine in the glass, flicked it three times high, then three times low, and spilled the remaining wine on the ground under their feet.

Then all the villagers clasped their hands in front of their chests and made a prayer gesture, giving thanks for this year's harvest and praying for good weather in the coming year.

At the same time, Rhodes also found those who were heading towards the village.

These people were wearing clothes of roughly the same style: black suits, white shirts, plaid pants, and their hairstyles were very casual, with some people even deliberately combing a "horn" on top of their heads.

There were about 40 people, some unarmed and some armed. As the distance was far, Rhodes could not see if they had any guild logos on them.

Judging from the current situation, the person who came must have bad intentions.

However, in order to avoid accidental injuries, Rhodes decided to confirm it first.

Anyway, he had already placed the Void Nesters near the village to spawn troops. By the time these people reached the village, there would probably be hundreds of them. This would be a good opportunity to test their strength.

As for now...

Rhodes circled in the air and landed at a place a little further behind the enemy team. He called out Hexie to work overtime and see who these people were first.

The terrain around the village was too flat and the nearby grass and trees had turned yellow, so the two green river crabs could only pretend to be wild crabs and chased after them.

Fortunately, the attack was launched from the rear and did not attract much attention. They only heard the noise when they were close.

However, Rhodes and Hexie had already used the perspective of the river crab to see the marks on their bodies clearly.

All of these people had the letter B on their coats, and most of the insignia on their bodies were hidden by their clothes, but two of them had black letters printed on their faces and necks.

Dark Guild——Black Unicorn!

Then you're welcome.

Rhodes remembered that in the last routine meeting, the task of destroying this guild was assigned to the four hounds. It seemed that they had not found them yet, so there was no time to take action.

Unfortunately, this is a rigid crusade mission, not a highly flexible bounty mission, so today's work is destined to be in vain.

That’s not right. It should be said that you can earn the remuneration, but you can’t earn double the remuneration.

Okay, be content.

In Hexie's vision, the Black Unicorn wizards have already discovered them.

Maybe it was because they had never seen such a big crab, two of the men carrying big knives had tears of fear on their faces.

Two river crabs ran around them and a guy with a staff shot a magic bullet, breaking one of the crab's legs.

The two river crabs ran faster.

Some people wanted to catch up to satisfy their cravings, but were stopped by the leader. They had important things to do and couldn't waste time here.

Rhode was relieved that he didn't scare them away.

He flew back to the vicinity of the village and watched the worms increase in number while waiting for the guests to arrive.

By the time they saw them, the number of worms had increased to four or five hundred. Rhodes waved his hand, and three nest worms roared, and the worms jumped and rushed out.

The Black Unicorn wizards were a little panicked. They heard that this was just an ordinary village, so how come there were so many disgusting bugs here?
And the person behind the bug seems a little familiar...
