The person found in the room was a female and appeared to have been severely beaten.

There was too much dirt on her face, and it was swollen from being beaten. One eye could not be opened due to bruises and redness, and no one could see her true face clearly.

The clothes were covered with thick sludge, even large traces of vomit, and there were some blood spots dripping on them. It looked extremely embarrassing no matter how you looked at it.

Compared to Perrenli, Korra directly revealed her identity and said she was safe. This was definitely more effective than anything else for the other party. She was indeed a Korra in the late stages of social arrogance.

She patted the other person's back gently, making the cry louder. Perhaps this was a way to release her emotions. Judging by visual inspection, this person must have suffered a lot of abuse.

However, Pei Renli discovered that this woman was obviously different from ordinary victims.

There were no orange spots on her body, and she was not used to test the medicine. Moreover, she was still alive when everyone had evacuated, which in itself showed that she was extraordinary.

If you observe carefully, you will find that although her whole body is covered with a thick layer of putty and the original color of her hair cannot be seen clearly, the material of her clothes is very high-end and not ordinary people's common clothes.

And when she was leaning against the wall and crying, she could still see that the dress was actually an extremely heavy and cumbersome dress.

In order to create a petal-like effect, this kind of skirt is divided into many layers and held up with metal brackets. In order to prevent the brackets from hurting oneself, several layers of underwear are worn inside. The thickness is almost as thick as cotton.

Got it.

Ordinary people obviously cannot afford to wear this kind of clothes, and it is not something that one person can wear. Usually only nobles or ladies from wealthy families who frequent salons for a long time can wear it.

In that case, she was different from other victims in that she was kidnapped to be used as a ransom for ransom?

But when the people here evacuated, they didn't take her with them, which seems a bit unreasonable, but maybe the people who deal with the aftermath were responsible for taking her away?

The monk Anton who could explain this problem has now turned into a corpse, and Pei Renli can only guess on his own.

Because the girl who was suspected to be the eldest lady was crying so much that she almost fainted. Korra kept whispering comfort beside her, and she couldn't ask anything now.

Pei Renli thought for a while and said:

"Let's take her out first. I don't want to stay in this place any longer."

Indeed, I certainly didn’t want to stay in a place filled with the stench of rotting corpses and the strong pungent smell of kerosene.

Korra asked in a low voice if the other party could stand up, but maybe she was injured or too weak. The eldest lady couldn't get up after trying several times. It seemed that she had to be carried out.

Being able to find the victim who is still alive is a good thing in itself. He said he didn't want to stay for a long time, but no one urged him.

——Bang!

The sound of the door being roughly pushed open attracted everyone's attention, and they all turned to look in the direction of the double doors they entered through.

A middle-aged man wearing silver armor and carrying a weapon on his back hurriedly rushed in. Seeing Pei Renli and the others, they were obviously stunned. Then they saw the dark blue curtain covered not far away and the monk Anton's eyes.

Corpse.

"What's going on?"

"Sheriff Chattin, we have something to report to you."

This middle-aged man named Chatin was the one who was responsible for explaining the details of the mission to the four of them when they arrived at Muxing City. Except for Pei Renli, who had gone to change clothes so he didn't know clearly, everyone else knew his name.

Korra was comforting the eldest lady, and Perrenli was also assisting. Eve stood aside like a stone and said nothing, so only Kaya had the courage to go up.

Compared to the socially awkward Korra, Kaya has a bit of a social disorder. After all, because of the rumors that she carries a curse, almost no one wants to have anything to do with her.

Over time, she became less willing to take the initiative to contact strangers, and she usually made passive contact.

For example, the only three people in the school who could communicate with Kaya, namely Korra, Eve and Perrenli, all took the initiative to talk.

Kaya's scalp felt numb at the thought of having to explain what happened along the way.

She summarized it as simply as possible:

"We chased all the way and found that this place is a den of human trafficking thieves, and they are still using abducted people to test drugs."

As she spoke, she walked towards Sheriff Chattin. What happened along the way could not be explained in a few words, and it was very uncomfortable to speak from such a distance.

Perrenli turned back and glanced at Sheriff Chatting. He always felt that something was wrong with this guy.

Perhaps because he survived as a brave thief in the first Demon King's Arena, Perrenli seemed to have developed the habit of paying very keen attention to details.

Because of this, when he saw Sheriff Chattin, he had an unpleasant feeling that some detail had been overlooked by him, as if there was a voice in his heart telling him...

By the way, the sound!

"Kaya is back! There's something wrong with that guy!"

When Pei Renli and the others came in, the outermost door was locked. He got in through magic, and he even closed the door again after entering.

So the question is, although the door is simple enough that any adult can easily hammer it open, it is locked after all, so does it make no sound at all when the door is smashed?

In other words, Sheriff Chattin opened the door with a key when he came in. As for why he had a key...

As soon as Kaya heard this, she immediately stopped. As soon as she put her hand on the hilt of the sword, she saw Sheriff Chatin quickly took off the long-handled war hammer on his back, swung the weapon and made a big jump towards Kaya's position.

There was a loud bang, and the long-handled warhammer hit the floor sprinkled with kerosene, leaving several dazzling cracks. Thanks to Kaya's flexible actions and Pei Renli's timely reminder, if he was attacked without knowing it, this would

One hammer blow was perfect enough to kill someone.

"Sheriff Chattin? What on earth are you..."

Picking up the warhammer, Sheriff Chattin said regretfully:

"You have already completed your mission, why do you have to mind your own business? Just stay here for the night and go back to school tomorrow."

"You probably set the fire in the prison, so that guy Ji Xiu took the opportunity to escape."

From the beginning, Pei Renli felt that something was wrong. The management of a place like a prison was extremely strict. It was midnight, and the prisoners were all driven into the cells. There should not be a chance to set fire.

If the fire was just a simple accident, then considering that Ji Xiu was able to escape from the cell during the fire, it doesn't look like a simple coincidence.

Sheriff Chatting glanced at Perrenli who was speaking, but he did not answer, neither admitting nor denying.

Facing the four people who drew their weapons and prepared to fight, he still said in a regretful tone:

"I didn't expect that they had already evacuated. Now that you have said so, it is impossible for you to get out alive."

He must have also seen the only survivor, and raised his voice:

"It's a pity. I was expecting a reward, but now I can only ask you to die with them."

Remuneration? Is there any reward in this young lady’s family?

Pei Renli has been short of money recently and is very sensitive to the word remuneration, but now is not the time to talk about this.

He immediately reached out and closed the door. The young lady hurriedly said:

"My father will definitely pay you a lot of money. Don't leave!"

"You hide here and don't come out until we deal with that guy."

Or maybe it's being leveled, but in any case, it's definitely going to be beaten.

When he closed the door, Kaya had already drawn out her long sword and swung the blade to kill. Eve also quickly changed her spell-casting gestures and fired the most commonly used magic missile.

However, those who can get into the position of police chief in a big city like Muxingcheng definitely do not come through connections.

Since this is a world with unscientific supernatural powers such as magic, it is necessary for the Sheriff to be able to fight.

The edge of the long sword was easily blocked with the war hammer. In the bright sparks that erupted when the weapons met, Sheriff Chattin simply ignored the magic missile and allowed it to hit his side.

Then everyone saw that the breastplate on Sheriff Chattin's body lit up with a layer of eye-catching magic aura. The magic missile was completely swallowed up when it hit it. Even Korra, who was a little slower, shot out with a short bow and aimed at Chattin.

The arrow to the Sheriff's head also bounced off as if it had hit a solid piece of iron.

This points to the fact that it is magic armor.

As a trading city, Muxing City can be said to be very wealthy. The armor provided to the guards who maintain law and order includes iron helmets, breastplates, armguards, greaves and an iron-clad shield. The weapons are a military weapon and a dagger.

Wait for some auxiliary weapons.

In terms of equipment level, it is no less than the regular army of many city-states, and these are just personnel to maintain law and order.

The configuration for front-line officials like the Sheriff is even more luxurious. Even though Chatin is the lowest ranking among the Sheriffs who manages the lower city area, he is still equipped with magic weapons and armor.

To put it simply, a weak attack like magic missile has no effect at all, and judging from the fact that even the arrows are deflected, it also has a special enchantment to defend against long-range attacks.

For Pei Renli who saw this scene, it was basically like abolishing his most commonly used spell.

How come everyone is immune to magic missiles, monks are immune to it, and so are vigilantes.

This gave Pei Renli the urge to strengthen his offensive and defensive capabilities as soon as possible. After all, the ability to be immune to magic missiles is so common, and it will probably be the same when it comes to the Demon King's Arena.

Since Pei Renli's offensive and defensive capabilities are still very low, it is almost impossible to use magic missiles to deal damage. The environment is full of fire oil and he cannot use the more powerful Burning Hand. He can only take two steps quickly and prepare to use Cat's Light Spirit to attack him.

Koraga status.

The situation Eve faced was similar to that of Perrenli. When Kaya was fighting with Sheriff Chattin, she threw the debuff spell of the enchantment school at the opponent, but it was similar to when she fought the monk Anton, and it had no effect.

Every time a spell hits, bursts of intense aura light up on the magic breastplate.

The breastplate is likely to be enchanted with resistance to magic or abnormal conditions, which is still very important for a peace officer who often needs to face vicious criminals.

Low-level novice mages all have this problem, making it difficult for their spells to take effect, especially when facing someone stronger than themselves.
