Yuanshin: The duty of the inspector is to eat melons

While walking, Tavenal saw the grass at his feet shaking slightly in the absence of wind, and was overjoyed. Could it be that the queen heard his prayer?

So when she passed by, she circled the staff in her hand, and the heavy staff head smashed towards the grass.

With a bang, the two people in front stopped unexpectedly and turned their heads, only to see a person sprawled out from the grass with his eyes turned white.

"You, what's going on here?" Ah Xu's eyelids twitched wildly, pointing at the people lying on the ground and stammering.

Hu Tao's eyes lit up, "Hey, this is really a new customer—"

what happened?

At first, I just thought that there were some small animals or poisonous snakes, so I swung the staff with the mentality of not hitting for nothing, but who knew that there was a person lying on the inside!

Although Tavernaar was also a little confused, he still maintained his due calm and vigilance, and turned the people on the ground with his staff.

Well, wearing a mask to cover the lower half of his face, plus the posture that was very similar to an ambush just now——

"It's a robbery." She said calmly, raising her staff to make up the knife.

"Hey hey hey-stop-stop-" Hu Tao hurriedly pulled her back. Although she always joked about having new customers, she was still a law-abiding citizen of Liyue in essence, and she would not look at her new acquaintance. If your friend kills someone, after all, he will go to jail.

"You Zhidong people are so reckless, you can make money with kindness and wealth, don't kill me, sister." Hu Tao couldn't help sighing.

A Xu was so frightened by their actions that he broke out in a cold sweat, thinking what kind of aunt this is, the boss really knows how to choose targets, and now he feels that he will suffer.

At this moment, two whistles sounded on the flat ground, and accompanied by the shout of "another subject", a person jumped out of the surrounding grass and trees, and surrounded all retreat routes like dumplings.

Ah, it feels like a is moving again, but the slime speaker is missing.

Tavernal clenched his staff slightly melancholy, and the elemental force of ice penetrated out.

As soon as Ah Xu threw away his crutches, he was about to run back to his companions when he felt his feet stuck to the ground.

Looking down, the ice crystals spread, and everything under his knees was frozen by a solid layer of ice.

He turned around in horror, and saw the white-haired man half-turned around, looking at him with frost-filled eyes, as if he was watching the struggle of ants indifferently.

Tavernaar didn't know that the opponent's brain power was excellent, she simply confirmed that the person was trapped, and then started the next stage of the attack.

In the next second, frost condensed on the ground, and a white ice mist centered on Tavernaar spread in all directions with a radius of 50 meters. The ice elements flying all over the sky almost occupied everyone's breath.

If it is the game perspective now, you can see that their bodies are all covered with ice elements.

Of course, the same is true now with elemental vision.

"Master Hu, it's up to you!"

Tavernaar's staff was inserted towards the ground, and the ice fog at the farthest end quickly condensed and turned into a solid high ice wall, drawing the ground into a prison.

The real siege should be like this!

"okay!"

A scarlet spear appeared in Hu Tao's hand, and the goma stick was constantly waving along with the flying fire butterflies. Wherever it passed, people fell down. In less than ten seconds, most of the members of the Treasure Bandit were reduced.

"Take care of that mage first!"

The boss of the Treasure Bandit hurriedly dodged the goma stick that was stabbed by the walnut, and did not forget to give instructions to his subordinates even when he was crawling.

The five members of the treasure robbery group turned their heads and rushed towards Tavernaar.

Tavernaar unhurriedly swung his staff to block the opponent's attack, while maintaining the ice element in this area to continue to adhere, and from time to time he was able to draw a backhand to give the treasure robbers around him a club.

The fighting instinct that the doctor equipped this body is very good. In fact, not only can she use weapons, she also has corresponding instincts to use all kinds of weapons, but the current time is limited, so she only practiced magic weapons and polearms.

Well, to put it simply, her staff is getting more and more proficient, no matter what it is.

After knocking out another member of the treasure robbery group, Tavernaar began to attack the people around Hutao frequently, sometimes with sharp ice thorns that were chilling, and sometimes with solid ice prisons that imprisoned his actions.

"Boss, I can't figure it out, let's withdraw!"

A group of treasure thieves broke down and shouted, and was immediately kicked away by Tavenal with a stick.

"Where are you going! The roads are blocked!"

The boss of the Thieves Treasure Group was kicked down by Hu Tao just after he finished speaking, and then he stepped on his back hard, unable to move.

Tavernaar's elemental force erupted again, and the last two people were trapped in the ice prison. She moved closer to Hu Tao, and when the staff touched the ground, the ice crystals spread again, trapping half of the body of the boss of the treasure robbers at the opponent's feet.

Letting go of his feet, Hu Tao raised his palm towards Tavenal, "The cooperation is very tacit, come on!"

Tavernal thought for a while, and stretched out his palm.

Walnut immediately reached out and patted it.

"Together we are invincible!"

It's a pity that I don't want to expose the power of the wind element, otherwise it would be more cool to add monsters.Tavenal thought, pointing to the group of treasure thieves all around him, "How to deal with it?"

Hu Tao scratched his earlobe, "Leave it to the Qianyan Army, and you can still receive a bounty."

"Bounty?" Tavernal's eyes moved.

"Yes, not a lot." Hu Tao nodded, then gave a smirk,

"You don't want to change careers to be a bounty hunter, do you? Although it is indeed feasible, treasure robbery groups are usually multi-person operations. Even if you have the eyes of God, it will be very troublesome to deal with. Of course, I absolutely believe in your strength, my good friend La!"

Tavernall nodded quite seriously, "It's not impossible, I'm quite short of money recently."

Most of the money was used to treat a certain alcoholic to drink, and she hadn't been paid yet, so she really didn't have much cash with her.

Alas, she is probably the poorest of the top fools.

"Hahahaha, then I will mourn for them first, huh—then, it's time to talk about business." Hu Tao smiled and put away the goma staff, and turned to Xu.

Ah Xu was still imprisoned in the same place by Tavernaar's ice prison, watching the two of them approaching, he squeezed out a stiff smile on his face, flattering and fawning,

"Two chivalrous women, warriors, we are the ones who are blind, and the two adults don't remember the faults of villains, let us go, let us live, I, I still have a father in my family, and a daughter to support... I beg you ..."

Ah Xu burst into tears as he spoke, very miserable.

Hu Tao snorted impatiently, "Let's save these words and tell Qianyan Jun. I'll ask you something, and if you answer well, I'll let you go to jail with all your hands and feet, otherwise, hehe..."

"Otherwise, I will freeze the blood in your body little by little, and let your hands, feet and limbs slowly die, and you can only cut them off in the end. Even if you come out of the prison in the future, you will only be unable to move. You can't even go to the toilet. A useless person who can't take care of himself..." Tavernal took over the conversation.

As she spoke, she increased the ice element attachment on Ah Xu's body. Under the biting cold, Ah Xu could feel his hands and feet slowly lose consciousness, and ice crystals condensed on his body surface, covering his body bit by bit.

"As for my official explanation, I only need to say that I just got the God's Eye not long ago, and I am not proficient in using it. Coupled with my status as a victim, I can completely retreat, and you—"

Accompanied by the cold snort, Ah Xu shook his head frantically, "Don't dare, you ask, I will say anything, I will say anything, I will never hide anything!"

"Ah Xu, shut up, you know the consequences—"

Bang, a huge ice spike fell from the head of the Treasure Bandit, and after a scream of pain, the leader of the Treasure Bandit fell silent.

Hu Tao squinted her eyes, walked towards the boss of the Treasure Pirates Group, took a look, and exclaimed: "It's not easy to receive a bounty if you die, it's too bad for you!"

"In this way, there will be no consequences, isn't it?" Tavenal slowly turned to other members of the treasure robbers, "It's the same for the others. Those who answer the questions must be complete. If you don't cooperate, go and accompany your boss." .”

Ah Xu looked at the motionless boss in the distance, and his whole body relaxed as if he was discouraged, slumped but implied relaxed.

"I said everything."

Tavenal nodded, "Master Hu, please bring people in for questioning, one by one." She walked towards Hu Tao, "I'll handle this."

The huge ice thorn disintegrated and dissipated, and Tavernaar grabbed the foot of the boss of the treasure robbers and dragged away.

Hu Tao glanced at the direction they were going away, smiled, and grabbed Ah Xu into the thatched cottage.

In the corner of the thatched hut sheltered from the sun, there was a little girl looming, staring blankly outside, with a blank smile on her face.

After dragging the person to the open space, Tavernall glanced at him, "Get up."

The boss of the Treasure Pirates Group sat up straight from the ground, with a faint layer of blackness on his face, he grinned: "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Tavernaar didn't answer the question, "How did your hall master explain you?"

In the beginning, Tavernaar's ice spikes were aimed at the gap between the body and arms of the boss of the Treasure Bandit. Although the ice spikes looked large overall, they actually played a role of visual misleading.

And she also used a large amount of ice elements to stun people before the ice cone fell.

So when she heard this man's scream, she was blinded for a moment.

Fortunately, Hu Tao let an invisible friend explain the situation to her ear in time.

With her brain spinning fast, she immediately reacted, and took advantage of the opportunity to say the follow-up threat that she had prepared long ago.

"That girl, she really sent us a hard job. Next, we have to go to Qianyan Army and surrender. Alas, when I'm old, I have to be her cow and horse. Her grandfather didn't say that we to do something like this."

The guy wearing the shell of the boss of the Treasure Thieves Group sighed, and propped himself up from the ground, "If it wasn't for us not being able to leave that ring for too long, she probably wanted us to continue lurking..."

"Let's go, help take care of our hall master!"

The boss of the Treasure Bandit staggered forward along the official road, not only turning, but also using his hands and feet from time to time, as if he was not used to this body.

Tavernall almost laughed at the precious video of the early taming of human limbs.

Back at the thatched hut, Hu Tao had already been tied up by four or five people and thrown aside. When she came back, she waved and said, "Wait a minute, there are still five people."

Tavernall went in to watch, and saw that Walnut was professionally asking questions, including but not limited to how long he had been in this business, what activities he had participated in, who was leading the way, how many gangs, etc., all with A pamphlet records it.

After finishing it, Tavernar opened it and looked at it, gave a thumbs up to the walnut, and affirmed: "Professional."

"Haha, back then I helped an old jailer whose wish hadn't been fulfilled, and he taught me before he left." Hu Tao didn't shy away from it, and was even a little proud, with an expression that was about to praise me.

"Amazing." Tavernall applauded.

"So, is there any clue about Xiao Ming's matter?"

"I was going to tell you about this." Hu Tao suddenly said seriously.

Chapter 12 Self-cultivation of melon eaters

"Ah Xu does know Xiaoming, or rather, Xiaoming is one of the many children he knows."

Tavernaar did not interrupt, quietly listening to Walnut's narration.

"In order to locate the target faster, Ah Xu would often wander the streets of Liyue Port to observe the pedestrians. Knowing Xiaoming and those children was just an accident in his words."

"He doesn't know which family most of the children belong to, but coincidentally, he knows Xiao Ming's parents." Hu Tao looked at the distant sky, his voice lowered, "According to him, Xiao Ming's family lives in the Xiaqiao area, Hehe, I forgot that you just came here. How should I put it? Liyue is distinguished by a bridge. The upper half of the region is prosperous in trade, and most of the people who can afford it are rich people, while ordinary people in Liyue mostly live on the bridge. The other side is the residential area."

"In short, under the circumstances of the average family, Xiaoming's father is a gambler, and he is also a gambler with bad luck and bad temper."

Hu Tao lowered her eyes, she smiled, and her expression was more helpless, "Ah Xu said that he had seen Xiao Ming at the pier half a month ago, at least at that time Xiao Ming was still alive and kicking, as for after that, he didn't know what Xiao Ming was doing now. Ming is dead."

She breathed out, as if she had shaken off something, and lifted her spirits again, "After I go back, I will visit Xiao Ming's house."

Tavernal just nodded, "Then please."

"Why, don't you plan to go and have a look together?" Hu Tao was surprised.

"If I have time, I will go, but if not, I can only trouble you to tell the story behind."

Tavernaar was also not sure if she would encounter anything after arriving in Liyue Port. First of all, she must go to Beiguo Bank first, and then the young master. There are many uncertain factors, so she will not talk too much.

"Oh, it's like this..." Hu Tao was a little disappointed, but she still waved her hands indifferently, "Forget it, who asked you to pay the money, and we at Xiangshengtang have always attached great importance to the customer's request."

Because the boss of the Treasure Bandit has already surrendered first, the members of the Treasure Bandit who didn't see the boss back really thought that the boss was silenced by that terrible white-haired woman, and they didn't dare to make a mistake along the way. A rope was tied to the wrist all the way to Liyue Port, and when he entered the gate, he was stopped by the Qianyan Army for questioning.

Fortunately, Hu Tao was able to speak well, and with her identity as a local, after explaining the ins and outs of the matter, in the attitude of being responsible for the residents, two Qianyan soldiers were sent to accompany them to help them send the treasure troupe all the way to the General Affairs Department.

After receiving a large amount of Mo La as a bounty, the two were politely sent out of the General Affairs Department.

Standing on the street, the hustle and bustle around him made the Mora bag in his hand even more lovely. If it weren't for the consideration of the character design, Tavernall would have grinned from the corners of his mouth to his ears.

"Farewell, if you encounter any trouble, remember to come to me - I still have a lot of connections in Liyue! It's in the Hall of Rebirth, you can just ask anyone in Liyue and you'll know where it is -"

Hu Tao waved his hand and said goodbye without much reluctance. He ran all the way and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Tavernaar turned his attention to an inn not far away.

After 10 minutes, she walked out of the inn with a blank face, it was too expensive.

She thinks that there is no need to spend money on this kind of place, absolutely unnecessary!

Walking on the street, she took another look at an inn with less exaggerated decoration, walked in, asked the price, and could barely accept it.

Following the clerk, she came to the room in the northwest corner.

The room is tidy and clean, with plenty of lighting, and you can clearly see the people coming and going in the street below. The only thing that is not good is that it is too noisy.

Although the clerk described this as being able to feel the prosperity of Liyue Port deeply.

After dismissing the clerk, Tavernal closed the window to block some of the sounds from the street, and took out a notebook from the suitcase.

This is provided by the internal intelligence network of Fools, the basic situation and precautions of each country.
