In the evening, faint starlight shines in from outside the shop door.
It illuminates the figure on the wreckage of the counter.
Livia stood up expressionlessly, holding a parchment book in her hand. She looked numbly at the pile of books and papers at her feet, sighed, and looked at the parchment book in her hand with some hope.
He quickly flipped through the parchment book in his hand. The content was the same as the dozens of books before it, all recording the prices and locations of food businesses in a stereotyped manner.
I quickly flipped through most of the pages, but still found nothing, just like before.
Just when Livia thought this was just another ordinary account book, his fingers slipped, opened the gap between the pages, and flipped to the last few pages.
Looking at the torn page in front of her, Livia was stunned for a moment, then quickly read the contents of the torn page and the surrounding pages.
"On the morning of December 6, 319, Old Peterwo ordered a batch of pork, eggs, etc.
On the afternoon of the 8th, Mary from the bakery ordered a batch of barley and rye...
On the morning of the 9th, the Mamba Snake Tavern ordered a large number of various ingredients and asked for them to be delivered to...
On the morning of the 10th, the brewery placed an order for hops and barley.
The record came to an abrupt end on the 10th.
Looking at the remaining words on the pages that had been torn off, on the morning of the 9th, at the Mamba Snake Tavern, there was a lot of food.
Livia suddenly called out, "Diago, are you there?"
"exist."
A response came from the shadows at the corridor door, and Diego slowly walked out of the shadows.
Livia raised the parchment book in her hand and asked solemnly: "Found it, when was he attacked?"
"On the night of the 10th, the same night you killed the owner of the Mamba Snake Tavern, which was last night."
Diego looked Livia in the face and said seriously.
Livia confirmed her idea and handed the account book to Diego. Diego looked down at the book, reached out to take the account book and looked at the records on it.
"If this is not a coincidence, he had dealings with the cult boss of the Mamba Snake Tavern, and just the day before the incident, Mamba Snake ordered a large amount of food from him to be delivered to a certain place, and this place happened to be the reason why he was killed."
Livia analyzed as she looked at the flipping account books.
Diego closed the account book and looked at him sharply. "So, as long as we figure out where this batch of goods was sent, we can find out where those rats from the Blood Mist Sect are hiding?"
Livia looked at Diego and nodded solemnly.
"Without further delay, we should return to the castle and report to the lord."
Diego stuffed the account book into his arms, walked past Livia and walked out. When he reached the door, he stopped and said in a small voice: "Let's put things in perspective. Although I don't like you very much, I am very grateful to you for this matter."
Looking at Diego's back, Livia laughed and suddenly felt that he was not so annoying anymore.
With a cheerful mood, Livia strode out.
When Diego walked out of the shop, he was already on his horse, and he said to the Shadow Panther Knight at the door: "Go find the captain now and tell him..."
Just tell him that Livia found a very important clue here and ask him to rush back to the castle as soon as possible. At the same time, have someone ask around if anyone has seen where the latest batch of goods has gone. Make sure to find out where this batch of goods has gone!"
"yes!"
The Shadow Panther Knight saluted, mounted the horse next to him and quickly headed west.
Then Diego turned around and looked at Livia, and urged anxiously: "Livia, hurry up, we have to return to the castle as soon as possible to report the situation, and we have to take action as soon as possible, otherwise the rats will get wind of it and run away."
Feeling Diego's anxious words, Livia realized the urgency of the matter, quickened her movements, patted An Ye's neck, jumped onto the horse, and rushed towards the castle with Diego...
After Diego and the others left the store, a moment later, two shadows appeared on the roof of the opposite house. The figures wearing black and red cloaks looked at the horseshoe prints at the door and became a little anxious: "Damn, it seems they have discovered something."
The other person who was shrouded in darkness snorted coldly and complained somewhat dissatisfiedly: "It's because you asked that idiot Bandy to handle this matter. That idiot only destroyed the paper that recorded our location and didn't destroy it completely. Now we are about to be discovered by Kovag's hounds."
The man in the black and red cloak listened to the black shadow's complaint and wanted to say something angrily, but after thinking about it, he gave up the argument and looked in the direction where Livia and Diego left.
"They haven't gone far yet. Let's go stop them together and then inform the adults."
The shadow looked a little hesitant and suggested, "Why don't you go and intercept them while I go back and inform the adults."
The man in the black and red cloak was obviously very angry after listening to what the black shadow said. He gathered all the strength in his hands and wanted to kill this idiot teammate first.
"It's already this late. What the hell are you still thinking about? One of them is stronger than me. How can I stop them alone? If you don't want to be sacrificed by the adults, follow me."
After saying that, he glared at the black shadow and disappeared on the roof. The black shadow hesitated for a moment after hearing the words of the man in the black and red cloak. The next moment, he remembered the blood sacrifice of the adults, shuddered, and hurriedly followed.
…
Livia and Diego had just passed an intersection on horseback when Livia suddenly felt a violent magical fluctuation coming from behind him. He hurriedly leaned to the right. The next moment, a blood arrow condensed from blood mist shot past the position where his head had just been and hit the ground in front of him, creating a hole the size of a human head.
An Ye was frightened and raised his front hooves. Livia was thrown backwards and had no choice but to flip off the horse and squat on the ground facing the direction of the blood arrow.
I saw that a blood-colored mist had appeared behind me at some point, and a figure wearing a black and red cloak was standing faintly in the mist, with his right hand raised and still in the motion of casting a spell. It seemed that he was the one who had just shot the blood arrow.
Livia's heart couldn't help but tighten, feeling the strong malice looming behind him, and his body instinctively lunged forward. Then a figure appeared behind him, holding a blood-red short blade in his hand and stabbing it at the position where he had just been. Livia hurriedly drew out his steel sword, nervously looking at the black shadow that suddenly appeared behind him.
The shadow looked a little surprised, "You can actually detect me?"
"Forget it. You're going to die in the end anyway, so I'm not curious about anything."
As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow appeared in front of him in a strange way, and stabbed down fiercely with the bloody blade in his hand. Livia was about to raise his sword to block, but suddenly found that he could not move. He didn't know when his limbs had been entangled by the thin lines that appeared in his shadow.
Looking at the bloody short blade in front of her in a panic, Livia gritted her teeth, and a wolf's shadow appeared on her body...
