Chapter 121 Abandoned Child

The other party seemed to be very happy that Ryan killed the monster, and a smile appeared on his originally sad and dull face.

This slowed down Ryan's action of taking out the "holy water" from his waist bag.

But Ryan thought about it, and still took out the holy water and held it in his hand.

As if she had sensed the energy contained in the holy water, the girl looked at the holy water in Ryan's hand, her face was horrified, her hands waved in front of her chest, and an ethereal and panicked voice sounded:

"Warrior, don't... hurt me, I'm not a bad person."

Hmm?

Can you speak?

But why does this voice sound so familiar.

It seems to be the female voice that just reminded me to run fast? Ryan thought to himself.

At this time, the fog seemed to begin to fade a little, and the girl's figure became a little clearer.

But Ryan looked closely and found that the other party's body had a sense of unreality. After the fog gradually dissipated, there was a sense of transparency. Ryan thought for a while

and slowly said: "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

The girl nodded.

Ryan felt relieved and continued to ask, "Were you reminding me to run away just now?"

"Yes, Warrior. But I didn't expect you to be so powerful that you killed the fog monster directly." The girl seemed to be more and more clear-headed, her facial expression was no longer dull, and her speech became more fluent.

"The monster just now was called the fog monster?" Ryan asked.

"Well, I heard that the bounty hunter called the monster the fog monster before he died. It can control the thick fog and likes to suddenly attack humans in the thick fog. It is difficult for ordinary people to resist its attack."

"What about you? What's the matter? You reminded me to run quickly, but every time the fog monster attacks me, you attract my attention. It seems that you are helping it attack me!" Ryan asked back.

"I'm sorry! Warrior, I... I was controlled by the fog monster before and had to do these things."

"I'm really sorry!" The girl's expression became sad again, and she slowly sobbed.

Ryan waved his hand and did not dwell on the question. Instead, he continued to ask:

"How did you become like this?"

"By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Agatha! I don't know what happened. When I woke up again, I became like this." The girl in the spirit state answered.

The other party's name immediately reminded Ryan that this mill was called Agatha Mill. Ryan immediately asked curiously: "Could it be that this mill and you..."

"Yes, warrior, this mill was originally run by me and my father." As

Agatha told the story, Ryan understood the whole story.

It turned out that one day, Agatha was defiled by Colm Tucker, the steward of Baron Watson. After Agatha's father found out, he had a dispute with Colm. Colm was furious and killed Agatha and her father, and buried them under two windmills respectively.

Originally, this tragedy should have ended here.

But somehow, some strange changes happened to the dead Agatha.

When Agatha woke up again, she found that she had become a ghost.

When Agatha was still in a daze, a fog demon attacked. The other party had the ability to control thick fog and spirits.

So, after death, Agatha had to succumb to the other party's clutches and was forced to attract the attention of the victims so that the fog demon could launch a fatal attack from behind.

Ryan nodded. It seemed that the rumored smell of decay and ghosts was not wrong.

At this time, Agatha hesitated for a while and said, "Warrior, can I make a request? If possible, can you help me get revenge?"

"I don't have any reward to give you. Maybe the brass ring on my corpse is the only thing I can take out, but it doesn't seem to be enough to pay you."

Ryan looked thoughtful and did not immediately agree or refuse.

Although what Agatha said was true, her experience was indeed very tragic. Ryan was willing to help, but he didn't want to fail to do things well and get into trouble instead.

Since the murderer was a baron's butler, he was obviously valued and trusted by the baron. If he wanted to make him confess and cooperate with the baron, he had to use his brain.

After a few seconds, Ryan said, "Agatha, tell me the whole story in detail, maybe we can find evidence in our favor."

"Even for me, it would be very difficult to make a baron's butler directly confess his crime."

Agatha nodded and began to tell the story immediately.

After listening to Agatha's story again, Ryan left the windmill with the body of the fog monster.

As soon as he walked out of the mill, Ryan looked at the system prompt, his eyes flickered.

He didn't expect that the system would give such a generous experience value reward for killing the fog monster just now.

[Your skill Giant Bear Swordsmanship has been improved, experience value +274]

[You have experienced a battle, Knight (Extraordinary) experience value +54]

​​Knight lv1 (86/100) is about to be upgraded at this time.

It seems that this kind of monster has a particularly rich experience value reward. At least, in Ryan's opinion, the combat power of the fog monster is not strong. It feels that it is not as strong as Caravi. It's just that the opponent's attack is weird and unexpected.

If you can grasp the entity that appears at the moment of the opponent's attack and give it the maximum damage, you can directly injure it or even kill it with one blow.

In response to Agatha's request, Ryan already had an immature plan in his mind.

It may not succeed, but Ryan still plans to try.

Gregory, who had returned from Watson Manor, had been waiting outside. When he saw Ryan coming out, he said in surprise:

"Sir Ryan, I am glad to see you return safely."

Suddenly, Gregory's voice stopped abruptly, because he was so frightened by the monster corpse that Ryan dragged out.

"There really is a monster! I thought it was a ghost. What an unreliable bounty hunter!" He murmured.

"Deacon Gregory, I have temporarily solved the problem of the mill. If I want a permanent solution once and for all, I need to meet with Sir Baron Watson."

"Sir Ryan, are you going to see the Baron?"

"That's great. The Baron just told me that he wants to see you. He should be at Watson Manor not far away."

Soon, Gregory took Ryan to Watson Manor not far away.

It turned out that Baron Watson came to the manor from the county town to inspect the afternoon. When he heard that someone was coming to solve the mill problem, he planned to meet him.

"Sir Watson, it's an honor to meet you." Ryan bowed slightly.

Although he has entered the extraordinary, he is not a nobleman strictly speaking, so basic etiquette still needs to be followed.

Baron Watson is a tall middle-aged man wearing a noble hunting suit, and the man dressed in a black robe next to him should be the murderer mentioned by Agatha-butler Colm.

Baron Watson looked at Ryan with a smile and said, "You are Ryan, who has just entered the supernatural realm, right? I didn't expect that you would solve this matter."

Ryan was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the news of his entry into the supernatural realm would spread so quickly.

"Yes, Lord Baron. This time, Lord Hamilton also told me about the mysterious incident at Agatha Mill. At present, I have solved it temporarily."

"For the time being?" Baron Watson frowned.

"Well, although I solved the murderer who killed the farmers and guards, the fog monster. However, the fundamental problem of Agatha Mill has not been solved. There is another secret in this matter."

When Ryan mentioned the word "secret", he deliberately glanced at the butler Colm beside him, and saw that the other party's eyes were a little flustered.

"Well? Ryan, please tell me in detail." Obviously, after hearing the secret, Baron Watson looked puzzled.

So, Ryan began to tell the story slowly.

"Agatha's tragic experience turned her into a vengeful spirit, and she continues to attract various monsters to Agatha Mill. Therefore, only by letting her rest in peace can Agatha Mill resume normal operation."

Hearing this, beads of sweat began to appear on the head of the butler Colm.

"Ryan, Agatha's experience is really regrettable. How can we let Agatha rest in peace? Should we catch the murderer? Do you have any clues?"

"Baron, there is no need to go to such trouble."

"Ryan, do you know who the murderer is?" Baron Watson reacted and looked at Ryan.

Ryan nodded, looking directly at the trembling butler Colm, and said, "The murderer is right in front of us, Baron."

Following Ryan's gaze, Baron Watson looked at the butler Colm standing beside him in confusion, which immediately surprised him and said,

"What? Colm?"

"Sir Ryan, this is the slander of that ghost, slander!" Butler Colm was trembling all over, his face flushed. At this moment, although he was afraid of Ryan who had entered the extraordinary, he still forced himself to explain.

After thinking about it, the baron's face became serious and said.

"Ryan, this matter still needs evidence. The ghost's words may not be credible."

This kind of bad thing was actually done by someone around him, which made Baron Watson instinctively unwilling to believe it. Although, judging from the performance of butler Colm at this time, Baron Watson also knew that this matter was most likely related to Colm.

Evidence?

Ryan smiled.

This incident happened several months ago. Without modern criminal investigation methods, only some kind of witchcraft from the mysterious side could make the murderer confess his crime.

Obviously, Ryan does not have this ability now.

"Ryan, I plan to completely close Agatha Mill. As for Colm, I will also fire him." Baron Watson looked at the butler Colm, then turned to look at Ryan.

It seems that Baron Watson has already thought of a solution.

Just firing, compared to Agatha and her father, this punishment is negligible.

Fortunately, Ryan was well prepared.

"Baron, maybe you think that if you do this, Agatha's ghost won't come looking for you, right? But I heard that ghosts will mutate further and may even become vengeful spirits!"

"In addition, the area of ​​Agatha's mill may attract more monsters, and the distance between your manor and the mill is not far."

"Do you really not mind if things go to that point? I'm afraid that even if you spend a lot of money to ask the church's high-level officials to take action, it may not be able to solve this matter."

These words were made up by Ryan based on some rumors he heard from Hamilton in the past few days, mainly to "intimidate".

Baron Watson's face became more and more ugly as Ryan spoke.

He had also heard what Ryan said.

In addition, it is not so easy to ask the church's high-level officials to take action. Not only does it cost a lot of money, but it also requires a favor.

The baron frowned and his eyes flickered, obviously weighing the pros and cons.

Although Colm, as a butler, had served the Watson family for many years and was usually quite handy, he really didn't know that the other party would do such a thing. The most important thing was that if this matter continued to develop, it might cause the Watson family to suffer heavy losses.

He had originally thought of making a big deal out of a small matter, but now after hearing what Ryan said, he hesitated.

Butler Colm was pale at this time, his legs were trembling, and he was almost unable to stand steadily.

"Colm, you go to Agatha Mill with Ryan and solve the matter." Baron Watson thought for a moment and quickly made a decision.

Obviously, after listening to Ryan's "analysis", Baron Watson planned to give up butler Colm.

"Baron, I am wronged!" Butler Colm's originally burly body now seemed to be a snake with a spine pulled out, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Baron, you made a wise decision." Ryan smiled.

Ryan picked up Colm's neck as if he was holding a chicken and walked towards Agatha Mill.
