The Death List Novel - Chapter 186
Chapter 186 Centaur
“Coming!” Michelle circled from the office area to the front desk with a crisp clicking sound of hooves.
“Commanders, please follow me!” Michelle’s voice was a little high, her tender face had some fluff, her horse hooves were strong, her buttocks were round and curved, and she was a very young female centaur.
Michelle brought a few people to the car park behind the police station and boarded a large jeep. It was a special jeep for centaur police, with large seats enough to accommodate their lower bodies. However, it was not very comfortable for humanoid creatures, because without a backrest, the seat supporting the centaur’s body seemed to be “too long”.
“Sorry, sir!” Michelle turned her head and smiled sweetly as she started the car.
“It doesn’t matter, Officer Michelle!” Qin Lun’s handsome face revealed a bewitching smile.
“Qin Lun, can I ask you a question?” Just as the few of them got on the car, Cora’s question came from the guild channel.
“Of course!”
“Why do you insist on interacting with the police station?” Cora asked cautiously.
After they arrived at the police station, Qin Lun suddenly insisted that he should come forward and let Cora instruct them on the guild channel. Perhaps it was because Qin Lun and the others had revealed their bloodline, or perhaps it was because they had obtained the Dark Gold Staff that made Cora in a good mood. Cora, who wasn’t as irritable as her husband, agreed to this suggestion.
“Mrs. Cora, did you see the situation at the Crystal Lake City Police Department just now?” Qin Lun smiled. “The police there are basically centaurs!”
“Of course, most of the Crystal Lake area is filled with mountains, forests, swamps, and scenic spots. In case of an accident, centaur police are more suitable to organize rescue operations in these areas!” Cora asked in confusion, “Does this have anything to do with my question?”
Qin Lun and Hill exchanged glances. Both of them could see a trace of helplessness in each other’s eyes. She had already reminded him that this Esmira woman could not comprehend it on her own. It was hard to imagine that she would be a policeman.
“Qin Lun is now an elf in the eyes of the storyline characters!” Hill reminded softly.
“Oh!” Cora suddenly understood.
The state police in this country are not subordinate to each other, and there are many races in the world of Nars. Detectives from Marseille came to Louis to check on the progress of the case. Even if the victim belonged to Marseille, they might not buy it.
Cora was once a cop, but in the eyes of the Louis police centaur, she was just a Delaney woman. Unlike Qin Lun, the elves belonged to the higher races among all the forest races. If he were to deal with the centaur police, the other party would inadvertently have a psychological burden and would not dare to easily perfunctory them.
“Mrs. Cora, I also have a question for you!” Seeing that Kora was relieved, Qin Lun asked himself, “Why don’t we wait for Sergeant Markov to come back? After all, there are some information that can only be used in the police station!”
“Hmph, that old policeman was stalling for time just now. Malloff might be in the Crystal Lake campsite right now, and he might have run into clues about Mr. and Mrs. John!” Cora raised her chin and said proudly, “It’s not unusual for police in different jurisdictions to play this trick if they don’t want outsiders to interfere in their own cases!”
Qin Lun and Hill were silent. This was not something they could observe. It was still useful to bring this woman along.
“Haha, just ask this Miss Michelle beside me!” Qin Lun joked on the guild channel.
“Wait, she won’t tell you (don’t alarm her)!” Cora and Hill both spoke out on the channel to stop him.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Qin Lun had already asked, “Officer Michelle, is Sheriff Malloff in the Crystal Lake campsite?”
“Ah! This” Michelle’s eyes revealed a hint of vigilance. She turned around and saw Qin Lun’s exquisite and charming elven face. However, her gaze became absent-minded for a moment. She gently opened her teeth and said, “There was a murder in a villa on the edge of the campsite. It was a bit far from the previous murder. However, everyone believed that it was the same murderer!”
“X!” Seeing the flush on the Centaur’s cheeks, Hill cursed in his heart and turned his face away.
“This is also fine!” Cora was dumbfounded for a moment, and a flush appeared on her face. However, she was angry and muttered discontentedly, “Humph, this is deceiving the feelings of a young girl. Father Hill, you are really an unqualified priest!”
“What does this have to do with me!” The shepherd was stunned.
The mud road to the Crystal Lake camp was bumpy and the jeep wasn’t moving fast. In their spare time, the three members of the team began to share their experiences in the mission world.
Two of them had only experienced three mission worlds, while Cora had only experienced five mission worlds. Their adventure experience was relatively weak, and their discussions were sincere.
Although the discussion was complicated, it quickly focused on three main aspects: the division of the difficulty of the mission, the classification of the equipment, and the difference in the power of the skills and techniques.
Qin Lun also had some doubts about the difficulty of the mission. His first trial world. Mission difficulty was divided into satellite level, star traveller level, and star level. However, in the second Illusory Demon World, there was an ABC alphabet classification.
Of course, since the Illusory Demon Realm had cut into the superstring space, he only thought that it was the confusion between the two sets of Laws in terms of mission difficulty, and did not pay much attention to it. However, he was truly puzzled by the fact that the difficulty division of missions in the World War II world, and in this Nars world, had begun to resemble the classification of military ranks in the Earth Federation.
Hill, who had experienced two more mission worlds than them, offered a more reasonable explanation. Perhaps this was because the apostles had different cultural backgrounds and levels, and the Broken Star System was also adapting itself to the apostles’ performance and revising the mission statement in terms that they could understand.
Qin Lun and Hill accepted this explanation. Very quickly, everyone’s attention shifted to the equipment classification. The apostle’s equipment was varied and much more complex than the difficulty division of the quest.
In this aspect, although Cora had experienced two more mission worlds, she wasn’t as clear as Qin Lun and Hill. The equipment she had handled was a bit less than the two murderers. After synthesizing some of the equipment the three of them had handled, they discovered that most of the equipment in the Demon Horn Auction House was blue, purple, and dark gold.
These three types of equipment were roughly divided into three grades. Blue had light blue, ordinary and dark blue, purple had light purple, ordinary and red, dark gold had bright gold, dark gold and purple gold, and then sublegendary and legendary equipment.
According to the rumors the three of them had heard, Sub-Legendary equipment and Legendary equipment were about the same in terms of material quality. The main difference seemed to be the artifact soul. Legendary equipment should also be divided into several categories. As for equipment above the Legendary level, the three of them had never seen it before.
During the discussion, Qin Lun and Hill discovered that the Slaughter Heritage, like Legendary equipment, rarely appeared in the auction house. Cora had never even heard of such a special equipment that could absorb the soul power of living beings and continuously improve its quality.
Among the five murderers, Qin Lun’s Evil Dagger was retrieved by Lin Feng, while the others were traded with the Federation Base.
Hill’s Life Slaughter Heritage was a small cross, and its function was unknown. Grant the Clown was his human skin mask with a powerful skill called Gift of the Clown. Disciple Hansen and Fireworks Rand’s killing inheritances were unknown, and it was unknown if they had been damaged during the teleportation from the base.
The discussion about the equipment was very calm. The three of them knew about the same information, but the discussion about skills and skills was much more lively. Especially Cora and Esmira, where the magic civilization was well developed. Magic assisted the police profession, they needed to learn a lot of magic control skills.
After entering the fragmentary starry sky, several of Cora’s magical skills were recognized by the laws of the fragmentary starry sky. She could directly become an apostle skill, allowing her to benefit greatly from the previous mission worlds.
However, the proud policewoman in the discussion did not notice that Hill and Qin Lun were smiling meaningfully. Every time she spoke of her magic skill, Hill and Qin Lun’s disdain hidden in their smiles increased.
The two murderers weren’t investigating Cora’s background. In any case, they weren’t able to kill their fellow team members. In times of crisis, they weren’t likely to fight alongside the Sas. Hill and Qin Lun didn’t care what skill Cora had.
They were just disdainful of Cora’s show-off, possessing so many powerful magical skills, yet they still managed to mix up like this. One had to know that when Qin Lun and Hill first entered the Broken Star System, apart from each possessing a low-grade Life Slaying Legacy, their physical fitness was basically equivalent to that of ordinary people.
“Sir Castro, there’s a crime scene ahead. I’m afraid we’ll have to stop here!” Michelle, who was driving, suddenly turned around to remind them that they had inadvertently arrived at the edge of the Crystal Lake campsite while they were discussing.
The three of them stopped discussing and looked outside. In front of them was a leisure villa with a unique design. Outside the villa, there was a police cordon. During that time, there were many police officers sampling the scene. It seemed that the police had not received the call for long.
“Sir, please follow me. Sheriff Malloff should be inside.” Cora led the three of them around the perimeter and headed towards the villa.
“Michelle, why are you here!” As soon as the four of them entered the villa, they saw a burly centaur coming out.
The centaur was almost a circle bigger than Michelle, his face covered with cheeks, a centipede-like scar at the corner of his left eye, and a golden sheriff’s badge hanging around his neck.
“Sheriff, I’ve been ordered to bring Detective Castro and Detective Rowling from Marseille to see you!” The young Michelle saluted Marloff and moved aside.
“You’re really fast!” Ma Luofu curled his lips and muttered to himself. He raised his head to look at Qin Lun and the others.
“Castro, nice to meet you, Sergeant Malloff!” Qin Lun smiled as he took a step forward and extended his hand towards the centaur.
