The Villain Saint is my secondary account

The not-so-clean room was not something the neat-loving maid wanted to get close to.

"Um……"

Ye Xiao looked around the house. "Although it's not very tidy, it's not particularly messy. There's no sign of damage in the house. Judging from the size of that guy, he probably left on his own."

"There's a spot near the corner that's whiter than the rest. Is there something that's usually placed here?"

"Shovel, Dark Owl answered you this way." Gratia yawned, "I can ask Cerberus to track him down. This room should be filled with the stench of that guy."

"You mean the three-headed hellhound brother? That's fine too."

"How can you be so friendly with a dog?" Gratia waved her hand casually, and a three-headed vicious dog with flames on its body emerged from the ground.

Seeing that the little maid didn't pretend to chant spells, Ye Xiao was no longer surprised.

This guy probably has completely forgotten that he is a "low-level subordinate of the devil."

"Master!" When the ferocious hellhound saw the little maid with her arms crossed over her chest, it immediately showed a flattering expression with its three heads sticking out three tongues at the same time, like a pug.

"Hello, Brother Gou." Ye Xiao also greeted him.

"It's you again, human." The three-headed dog looked a little unfriendly.

It remembered that it was beaten severely by its master last time because of this hateful human.

"I'm going to ask you to help me find the owner of this room." Ye Xiao said.

The three-headed dog subconsciously wanted to refuse, but fortunately it first used its three poor brains to think about it and looked at Gratia's face.

After seeing his master nod slightly in agreement, the hellhound felt a little scared. Fortunately, he did not rush to refuse. He immediately used his three heads to sniff the surrounding air.

In a short while, they caught the scent wafting through the space.

"Here", "Here", "Here" the three heads spoke at the same time, and then stretched out in different directions, so that its body was pulled and stiffened in place.

"Huh?" The three dog heads felt something was wrong. They glanced at Gretia's frowning face at the door and felt cold sweat on their tongues.

"It doesn't seem right." "Let me smell it again." "It should be here, it should be here." Then, the three heads stretched in different directions, causing their necks to be tangled together like a braid.

"What... are you doing?" Gratia asked calmly.

The corners of Ye Xiao's mouth twitched slightly. He noticed that the little maid was on the verge of exploding in anger.

To be honest, this hellhound is a bit unlucky and always brings shame to Gratia.

"Strange", "This shouldn't be the case", "I clearly smelled it here...hiss, it seems like it's here too" The three-headed dog was a little panicked, it felt like the smell seemed to be dispersing in different directions.

"Find the nearest one first, find the nearest one first." Ye Xiao hurriedly reminded the not-so-smart dog brother.

"Then here," the three heads said in unison. This time, they finally headed in the same direction.

But that location was under the wooden bed.

Ye Xiao looked at the hellhound with some suspicion, whose face was determined as if it was ready to die, but still walked over, lifted the wooden bed with one hand and opened it.

"Here." The hellhound walked over and patted an exposed wooden floor with its front paws.

Although he was very curious about which head was controlling the claws, Ye Xiao was not the one to talk nonsense at this time.

He pressed the wooden board lightly with his fingers, then grabbed the edge and easily lifted up the loose board.

There was indeed a hidden hole below, with a small whitish cloth bag inside.

Ye Xiao gently took out the cloth bag and untied it, revealing a sturdy arm wrapped in bandages.

Chapter 7: The Generosity of the Maid

"Oh," Ye Xiao was a little surprised, "...the splitting fruit?"

"Caw! Caw!" A dark owl flew in from the window and flapped its wings on Ye Xiao's face.

"She said she was not very satisfied with your speech." Gretia translated from outside the door.

"No, how does it know what I'm talking about?" Ye Xiao waved his hand to gently fend off the fluttering Dark Owl, "But I think I understand why Brother Santou can't find the source of the smell."

The arm clearly belonged to the big man, both from the familiar bandaged form and from the smell Cerberus smelled.

And since this thing is the source of the smell, the presence of so many scattered sources of the smell means that the big guy is probably in danger.

But this also makes the current situation even more weird... Before, when I heard what the Dark Owl said, I thought that the big guy was sick or something, but how come he was... dismembered?

"Don't give me a weird nickname, kid." Cerberus' three heads sniffed around again. "The direction of the other smells is scattered and extends to a very far distance."

Ye Xiao nodded and checked his arm wrapped in cloth.

The wound surface at the fracture was very uneven, and it even looked more like it was torn off than torn.

The strange thing was that the blood on it had dried up and turned a dark black color, and the arm was a little skinny, as if it had been broken for a long time.

"Cuniao, was he still in this room when you left?"

The dark owl landed on the floor, jumped and howled, then pointed its wings toward the door, then toward the bed, and then toward the window.

This series of complicated movements and meaningless calls left Ye Xiao confused. He could only scratch his head and look at Gretia.

"Well...what a hassle." The little maid pouted, "Forget it, you're the lucky one, come here."

When Ye Xiao walked to the door, he saw Gratia taking off the glove on her right hand, standing on tiptoes, raising her right hand and touching the top of his head.

"Ok?"

It was as if a dose of ice water was injected into the skull, and suddenly a slightly cold touch spread from the forehead.

The magical power that was against all living things was wandering in his body, and Ye Xiao felt a little uncomfortable.

However, smelling the faint milky scent emanating from the soft little palm, and looking closely at the little maid's cute face against the pink and white hair along the white arm, Ye Xiao was not so averse to the discomfort.

If Ella's eyes and eyebrows show the purity of a girl with a hint of charming charm, then this little maid's naive and cute look with a little coquettishness is completely different.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but a blush seems to be slowly appearing on that rosy face.

"Why are you staring at me?" The maid took back her hand and pinched Ye Xiao's waist, "Don't look!"

Well, it seems that it’s not an illusion... Ye Xiao grinned and touched his waist. This guy is really unreasonable.

"It's already this late, what are you doing!" A loud and unpleasant voice pierced Ye Xiao's ears, "Go find him!"

What's that noise? Ye Xiao covered his left ear and looked around, and suddenly found that the source of the sound was actually the dark owl.

He could actually understand what Dark Owl said?

Ye Xiao was stunned and opened the system. Sure enough, the mage skill panel had a new branch added - "Hell Warlock".

Wow, did Gratia give him a rare mage profession?

Just because I'm too lazy to be the translator for the bird, is it so casual?

"Humph, if it wasn't too much trouble, I wouldn't give it to you." Gratia crossed her arms, "Why don't you thank this maid for her generosity!"

"Okay, okay, thank you Lady Grettia and thank you Lady Mammon for your gift." Ye Xiao immediately said respectfully.

To be honest, the career inheritance that he picked up for free is still good. Although his affinity for dark attributes is not very good and he may not have the time to practice the spells here, it is definitely not a bad thing to expand the skill tree.

"...Then look at the person you are talking to carefully. You don't have any sincerity at all!" The little maid looked at Ye Xiao's back and wanted to kick him.

“Didn’t you tell me not to look at you… Hey, ah! Can you blame me for this?”

"I told you not to stare at me!" Gretia stomped her feet in anger, but Ye Xiao had already run into the dirty house.

Although the little maid could use magic to keep herself spotless, even on this barren slope where the mountain wind blew up dust from time to time, her cloak was still clean and looked brand new.

But this stubborn girl just refused to enter places that made her feel psychologically dirty.

"Bird, what did you say when you were performing the shaman dance just now? Repeat it again." Ye Xiao walked back to the house and squatted back beside the groove where the severed arm was placed.

The second time he saw the broken arm, Ye Xiao saw densely packed characters like tadpoles on the bandage wrapped around the arm.

Weird, I haven't seen this yet?

Ye Xiao was stunned for a moment, then he realized that this was probably the influence of the Hell Warlock's ability. However, he could only see it but could not understand the meaning of these spells.

"I said my name is Eunice!" Dark Owl fell to the ground and chattered, "It's unbelievable, how come this guy only has one arm left? I don't know if he is dead or not."

"Before the sun rose, he was still lying on the bed like a zombie. If he wasn't still breathing, I would have thought he had become the corpse of his favorite."

"No, your tone is so strange." After understanding Dark Owl's words, Ye Xiao discovered some clues, "Isn't this big guy your good buddy?"

"What bullshit are you talking about!" Dark Owl said angrily, "I wish that guy would die quickly. If he didn't have the prescription that could turn me back into a human form, I wouldn't have asked anyone to save him!"

"Now, I only have one arm left. I'm afraid I'm going to be like this for the rest of my life!"

"Ahhh, I can't bear the thought that I might have to be like this for the rest of my life!"

Although Ye Xiao could roughly guess it when he heard the dark owl calling him before, he was even more certain now that he could understand what it said - this guy was a chatterbox.

The meaningless chatter made Ye Xiao's head buzz. After a long conversation, he roughly understood that the dark owl suddenly found that the big guy did not get up as usual after the sun came out in the morning, and his breathing was abnormally weak.

Fearing that something might happen to the big guy, and more importantly, fearing that the recipe for turning into a human in its mouth would disappear, it had no choice but to fly out to ask for help.

It went to see the town doctor and some passers-by, but no one understood what it was crying about and they just drove it away or even shot it with crossbows.

In desperation, it remembered that Grettia could understand its words the night before, so it flew to the tavern and searched around for Ye Xiao and his group. It finally found them before the Qiyao Society and the Holy Temple convoy left.

As for the reason why the big guy was weak, Dark Owl didn't know and didn't care. Maybe it was because he was injured by a group of bounty hunters last night.

"Bounty hunter?" Ye Xiao thought of the tree full of dead bodies. "Is it the dead body hanging on the tree at the intersection out of town?"

"How do I know what those rotten pieces of meat originally looked like? Don't treat me like a crow. I'm not interested in dead people." Dark Owl yelled, "Can you stop talking nonsense and at least find the rest of this guy first?"

"Okay, Brother Three, lead the way first." Ye Xiao nodded, then looked at Cerberus who was lying on the ground.

Just as they were talking, a shrill scream suddenly came from the distant horizon.

"Woo——"

Chapter 8: Misty Valley Miasma

"Woo——"

The distant and sharp sound was like a shrill cry, spreading to every corner of the Howling Mountains.

At this time, the Qiyao Society and the Holy Temple convoy, which were moving slowly in the valley, were also attracted by the sudden strange sound.

A thin mist was floating in the narrow valley. In the slightly bumpy carriage at the front of the convoy, Li Cheng closed the cards in his hand and rubbed his ears, frowning, "Oh my God, what is that sound? It's too annoying."

"This is the origin of the name of this mountain range." Ella, who was leaning against the inner wall of the carriage wearing a cloak, smiled and answered Li Cheng's question.

Although she had her own temple chariot, Ella still sat in the leading carriage, squeezing together with President Li Cheng, Freya, and several guild players.

It wasn't that she was bored and came here specifically to play cards with everyone, but she was considering that if there was any danger, she would be able to react first if she was in the front carriage.

It would certainly be safest for her to stay in the Temple Caravan that was protected in the middle of the convoy, but in fact, Ella thought that she was the one who needed the least protection here, so she ran directly to the front carriage and placed an arcane staff in the last carriage. Ella could naturally use the space spells that Ye Xiao could use, so that if there was an accident in the rear carriage, she could arrive there in the first time.

Of course, Ella's behavior was strongly opposed by players such as the accompanying knight and Li Cheng.

But no one could do anything about this stubborn Saint.

"I've also heard rumors about this mountain range, but this creepy scream is the first time I've heard it." Freya said, throwing a deck of cards from her hand, "Um... a straight?"

"Ah?" Li Cheng looked at Freya, who had empty hands, and looked at Xiao Deng, a player sitting in the same row with a full hand of cards.

"What a pity, you lost again." Ella covered her mouth with her little hand and chuckled, picking up the last few copper coins in front of Li Cheng.

Although Li Cheng was moved by the silver-haired girl's charming smile, the pain of losing money was also burning his heart.

More importantly, he still couldn't understand why he kept losing - they were clearly playing according to the Blue Star card rules?

"Excuse me, Saint Lady, is this really the first time you play this?"

"Maybe I'm just a little lucky." Ella waved her hand with a hint of cunning on her lips, "Are you coming again?"

She found that there seemed to be some unexpected pleasure in torturing her good brother.

"For my loyalty to you, please leave some living expenses for the poor believers, Saint Lady." Li Cheng reluctantly said goodbye, climbed to the front of the carriage and patted another player who was driving the carriage outside the carriage, "Old Hu, let me drive, go to the Saint Lady... go and play with the Saint Lady for a while."

"Hey, boss, I was just calling you...what do you see in front of us?" However, Lao Hu frowned slightly and pointed his finger forward on the road.

Li Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and in his sight, at the end of the road shrouded in layers of mist, there seemed to be several tall shadows.

Some of those shadows looked like big trees growing abruptly on the road, but thick willow catkins seemed to be hanging on the skinny and hideous branches, swaying slowly with the mountain breeze.

Li Cheng swallowed his saliva. As the fog in the valley gradually became thicker, he felt something was not right.

"Slow down." After saying that, Li Cheng turned his head and headed to the back of the car. "Brothers, take up your weapons. Xiao Deng, tell the vehicles behind to report their numbers!"
