I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

"Let's go, let's go sniff around the back alley."

Li Yue dodged the light-bearing believers patrolling the streets and ran to the back alley of the Chamber of Commerce, letting Skinny sniff around.

【Can't smell clearly…】

Although Skinny had eaten fodder, it was night after all, and he wasn't very energetic.

Gamma left very violently, leaving a large pit in the ground behind the Chamber of Commerce, connecting to the broken cellar; he also left very quickly, without leaving much scent.

Besides, Skinny is a horse, not a dog.

Once inside the town, the scent became complicated, and Gamma's scent was no longer so clear.

"Then let him go for now, we'll see." Li Yue didn't spend his time searching for Gamma — although he was an 8th-level poet, he was injured and injured again, so he probably found a new place to heal, and wouldn't have any movements in a short time.

Anyway, Li Yue was going to wander around the five towns, and would deal with it if he smelled him again.

Now Li Yue's mind was full of what Norton said when he left — I'll bring a stretcher.

What does that mean?

Li Yue headed for the Fracture Construction Site, walking slowly along the street with Skinny, clip-clop, clip-clop.

"Could it be that Norton thinks I'll have a fracture tonight?" Li Yue thought Norton's statement was likely a cold joke, didn't think about it too much, and quietly watched the markers of Cleft Gold Mountain light up.

After walking around during the day, Li Yue found that it takes about three days to light up an iron ore town, so half a month should be enough to light up most of Cleft Gold Mountain.

When the time comes, he can see where it's too dark, go there a few times alone, and he should be able to complete the third marker on the map, further upgrading the cheat.

The Iron Ore Town at night was very quiet. Besides having to avoid the New Church believers, Li Yue and Skinny were quite leisurely; while walking, they would encounter Black Armor blocking the way, which was the Pathfinders' inspection.

Li Yue had complete procedures, so he was able to deal with it easily.

However, every Pathfinder who saw that Li Yue had accepted Horad's commission would intentionally or unintentionally glance at Li Yue's bones, as if imagining them breaking.

Some kind Pathfinders gave Li Yue directions, indicating that his route was a bit off.

"You know, I've already received a lot of leaflets." Li Yue explained the deviation of the route as avoiding the New Church believers.

The Pathfinders understood and didn't pester him too much.

And even if Li Yue went around, he would soon be near the Fracture Construction Site — the Iron Ore Town was very small, and half a day was enough to walk through it.

Skinny didn't smell Gamma's scent again.

Li Yue felt that this bard might have escaped from the Iron Ore Town.

Compared to Li Yue fearing his revenge, wouldn't this bard, who was already injured, be afraid of Li Yue chasing after him and selling him again?

"This is it, the Fracture Construction Site…" Li Yue looked at a haunted house-like residence in front of him, standing alone on the empty street.

"Do you smell anything?" Li Yue patted Skinny's back, always treating him like a dog from time to time.

Skinny didn't respond.

Li Yue simply used his X-ray vision and found that the Fracture Construction Site contained various tools such as wood and ladders, piled randomly on the side, with no signs of being cleaned up, as if someone would start construction again at any time.

The tools and wood were tattered, as if they had been dropped and smashed.

The entire construction site stood alone in the night, surrounded by a large area of abandoned houses. Even the light-bearing believers didn't plan to patrol nearby, obviously having been asked by Horad not to approach.

"Half the night has passed, should we come back tomorrow?" Li Yue felt the silence in the construction site, unsure of what was inside, but finally felt some strange atmosphere.

Skinny didn't commit, and turned his head directly.

"Huh? Wait a minute?" Just as Li Yue was preparing to leave the exploration of the Fracture Construction Site for tomorrow night, the map in his mind suddenly had a strong reaction.

The markers flickered and then quickly strengthened.

"Huh? Is the progress here very fast?" Li Yue noticed the change in the light.

"Damn it, as expected, there's something fishy…" Li Yue knew that a commission that no one took wouldn't be so simple. He originally wanted to use it as a curfew pass, but he didn't expect the cheat to react so strongly to this construction site.

If it can speed up the progress, Li Yue would of course be happy to go in and try it out…

He remembered that the Fracture Construction Site was a residence that Horad bought for his mistress? Buying it here? It seems very cheap.

He heard that construction workers would have fractures inside…

Other than that, there doesn't seem to be any other information?

Are the fractures accidental, or are there some inexplicable beings breaking them?

Li Yue realized that he didn't know enough about this commission.

Just then, a familiar voice sounded from behind.

"What's wrong, don't dare to go in?" In the night, a knight in black armor walked over.

This Pathfinder was waiting outside the Fracture Construction Site.

"Are you very free?" Li Yue didn't even turn his head, and recognized Norton.

"I want to make sure that you accepted this commission to really complete it." Norton stood next to Li Yue, "And not to take the opportunity to do something against the law…"

"Law? I really don't know that Iron Ore Town has such a thing." Li Yue thought of those people who were sold to the mines.

How many of them were caught by the Pathfinders at night?

"I mean, don't do anything against me." Norton said it more bluntly — the subtext, I am the law.

Li Yue didn't feel the pressure Norton was trying to create, but suddenly thought of something else.

"If I were an 8th-level hero, would you say this too?" Li Yue tried to understand the relationship between heroes, the authorities, and the townspeople.

Just now, when Mustafa learned that Gamma was an 8th-level poet, his first reaction was not to hold him accountable, but to worry that it would be difficult to get close to him…

Obviously, heroes have some privileges.

"Are you?" Norton glanced over.

"I could be." Li Yue felt that since "Traveler" could become a kind of path, would it be okay to self-proclaim an 8th level?

"Hehe, then hero, please complete the commission." Norton raised his hand and made a "please" gesture to Li Yue.

"Are you coming too?" Li Yue felt that it would be inconvenient to bring a Pathfinder in, and would more or less expose some personal information.

Such as X-ray vision, such as iron nails or something.

It would be bad if it was linked to the deaths of those two sentries.

"Do you want to borrow my strength? If I remember correctly, you're very poor?" Norton hinted that his price was high.

Li Yue also increasingly realized the convenience of having money.

"You don't have to force yourself if you don't dare, anyway, it's not much money, not worth losing your life." Seeing Li Yue's silence, Norton paused, "Don't you also have an appraisal contract with the Chamber of Commerce?"

Intentionally or unintentionally, Norton revealed some intention to get some benefits.

"Well, that is indeed a good contract…" Li Yue didn't deny the possibility of cooperating with Norton.

"Okay, if you don't have anything else to tell me, I think I should make some efforts to complete the commission." Li Yue said, leading his horse towards the Fracture Construction Site in front of him.

"You can leave the horse outside." Norton smiled, "The security in Iron Ore Town is very good. Leaving it outside, at least it can carry you out when it's dawn…"

Norton seemed to believe that Li Yue's bones would be broken.

"No need…" Li Yue refused.

Just kidding, who knows if Skinny would be taken away and sold for meat if he was left outside, or even pulled to the mine to do labor?

Walking into the residence, Li Yue unloaded the door and forcibly led Skinny in, saying goodbye to Norton's gaze.

Skinny obviously became uneasy and paced back and forth in the living room, looking like he really wanted to go out.

But the scene outside the door suddenly folded and flattened, lying across.

At the same time, Li Yue and Skinny slipped and began to fall.
