Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 805 Ninety-six. Horsefoot Town, Vig Town

   Over the Therma Mountains, to the south is the Tranquil Plain.

   Destroyed by the weird kingdom of Ellen sits there, and further south is the Fallen Mountains next to the Ellen Peninsula.

   However, the direction of the railway extends northward rather than southward, and the Allen Peninsula is not the destination of this trip.

  If he wants to go back to the Ellen Peninsula, he has a safer and faster way: take a big boat.

   Horse's Foot Town is located in the middle and rear section of the continuously built and extended railway. Compared with the town in the barren land, the local town is more quiet and closed. Even if the railway tracks and trains arrive, it is difficult to wash away the desolation here.

   The reason is, of course, related to weirdness.

   However, there is still a commercial street in front of the station for passengers to rest, eat, and shop, allowing people to experience the local customs-only this street.

  Loli and they didn't get off. The VIP compartment is unprecedentedly large and equipped with fold-away single beds, enough for a group of people to rest here.

   It was still some time before dark, and the mountains growing withered woods were shrouded in twilight, and only Horsefoot glowed in the dark.

  The aroma of maple leaf cake, a specialty food of Thelma Mountains, wafts out of the "commercial street" and gets into the carriage through the window.

   Neither Lu Li nor those with eccentric abilities would eat maple leaf cakes that were obviously not in Terminus' standard. They have dedicated chefs to cook the food with Terminas standard 1st grade ingredients.

   Level 1 is infinitely close to the food of the old days, and the price is relatively high.

   Waiting for the dinner break, Lu Li thought of last night's city hall party. The president of the Terminus Association briefly exchanged a few words that he hoped that he could serve as the spokesperson for Terminus standards.

  The endorsement fee is high, and every month is enough to make the commoners worry-free for a lifetime.

   But money is really just a string of numbers to Lu Li.

  Perseus, who is already a weird member, need not shy away from the temptation of new things, so he asks the waiter to bring one.

   Soon, a maple leaf cake wrapped in newspaper and oily was sent into the luxury carriage.

   The front page of the newspaper that was used for packaging a week ago was still the news that Lu Li appeared in Midnight City.

  Purse first grabbed a corner of the newspaper and dragged it out, folded it clumsily and hid it in the pocket around its neck despite the oil stains, and then began to taste the browned and crispy maple cake. Then say "it tastes like autumn".

   Described in an easy-to-understand language, the maple leaves are crushed and minced and fried together with minced meat. The taste of maple leaves is integrated into the meat patty, and the smell of the autumn forest will be tasted.

   But Prius doesn't like this kind of meat, it's tender like eating mushrooms.

   "What kind of meat is this?" Katerina asked.

   "You wouldn't want to know." Evil Fall took the initiative to speak.

   He probably needs negativity again.

   Katarina snorted and responded: "I didn't eat anything when I was living in the wilderness."

   "A kind of fungus called a meat blanket." Evil Fallen didn't provoke Katarina anymore and told the answer.

   Like the Scarlet Dandelion and the Scarlet Farmland outside Midnight City, it is a strangely contaminated fungus. It grows in the dark, damp places of the Therma Mountains, like a land where its skin is peeled to reveal its flesh.

   So maple leaf cake is a local specialty food. Maple leaves are everywhere, meat blankets are only here.

  Katerina lost interest in "the taste of autumn", and the ten-day life of the noble class made it difficult for her to return to the days of drinking sewage and eating weird meat in the past.

  Prius doesn't mind that. Like an explorer, he is curious and brave about new things.

  It's a pity that this is a weird era, he can only become weird due to years of pollution, shrinking in the filthy old sewers until he dies.

  The food is quickly cooked and delivered to the VIP compartment. But because of the monotony of the ingredients, the food is not rich. Except for the rib-eye rib with sauce, there is only a small glass of wine for everyone. It was produced 32 years ago in Victoria Winery, the most prestigious wine producing area. Now Occupied by the Bloodpool Cult.

  Fortunately, there are still plenty of rib eye steaks, enough to eat.

   After eating the maple leaf cake, Prius jumped to the ground with his rib eye rib in sauce. Although he had a human face, he looked like a hyena.

   Finished eating as fast as he could. He licked his lips and jumped back to the seat, looking at the street lit outside the carriage for a while.

  The lights are a little hazy, and the weird fog is coming.

   "Will monsters attack the town?"

   "Yes." Evil Fallen was silent, and the Shadow Man replied.

   "Then why didn't they leave here..." Pusius asked worriedly.

   "No money."

  The ticket is more expensive than expected.

   Town residents can also walk to Wiener Freeze Harbor, but no one does.

  Although the wild is dangerous and terrifying, an unprotected gathering place is like a big box of canned meat, and it does not have to be safe in the wild.

   "What is sheltering here?" Lu Li asked.

  Shadow Man no longer hides Lu Li who guessed the answer: "Church."

  Lord's Continent, apart from the stars opposite Midnight City, Wiener Freezing Harbor, many towns rely on various churches for shelter.

   And because of the lack of restraint, the Church is more savage and **** than the Badlands.

  Cultists are more in line with them…and who they are than pagans.

   "You will deal with them sooner or later, and pray that your prestige will be useful to them as well." Evil Fall suddenly interjected.

   knock knock --

   The door of the carriage was knocked, and the waiter walked in: "The weird fog is coming to Horsefoot, please pull up the curtains."

   By the window, Lu Li raised his arm and grabbed the curtain, but before pulling it up, he saw a little boy in a dirty sackcloth standing on the platform outside the window, staring blankly at the food on the table.

   "Give him my steak."

   Lu Li and the waiter said.

  Puseus wagged his tail, he liked Lu Li so much, but unfortunately he couldn't give it to the little boy after his steak was finished.

   "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Um."

  The regretful waiter left with the plate. After seeing the little boy grabbing the steak without a word and running into the thickening mist, Lu Li closed the curtain.

  The curtains are also full of ancient imprints.

   "What a lucky little guy. He didn't know that the food he was about to enjoy would be enough for him to eat Maple Leaf Cake for half a month." Evil Fall's sour words sounded aside.

   "Is it the right thing to do, I know." Purse encouraged Lu Li to counteract the irony of evil depravity.

  Little Boy is just an episode. He didn't show up again, and he didn't cause trouble.

   Night falls. The curtains of the carriage were drawn, the single beds were made flat, and all but the merchants and the shadow men of the night watch fell asleep in the lights dimmed by the eerie fog.

   It was a quiet night, except for all kinds of weird sounds and whispers that came out of the fog.

   In the early morning of the next day, the fog dissipated and the steam train departed.

   It was approaching the afternoon, and the long steam train with its chimneys spewing thick smoke dipped slightly toward the distant mountains.

  woo——

  The sound of the whistle echoed in the wet mist-shrouded mountains and forests.

The    steam train is about to arrive at the railway's current terminus: the town of Vig.

   Hillelvig Mountains is just ahead.

   And in the Hillelwig, no one can kill a cat.
