I elve at the tiainstIn fact, the only thing we ed to keep is this inn here It has seen better days I’m afraid,” said Pierre The inn was small and shabby but it still had a steady stream of repeat customers, which allowed theood at dru up business

Pierre continued to tell them how despite the disparity in wealth, the two families still maintained close ties, so close in fact that Clara’s faed when Ms Dusha entered the scene Her appearance strained the relationshi+p between Mr Wenda and Mrs Malin, eventually resulting in the couple splitting and Mrs Malinout Sometime afterwards Clara had a fall out with her father and she too randparents’ villa

It was at the villa that Mrs Malin o was a sensational case in part because Clara was the primary suspect

“Of course most people don’t believe Miss Clara Wenda did it The likely culprit are Mr Wenda and his mistress” Pierre shook his head “But there’s no evidence All anyone has are suspicions On top of that, the knife found in Miss Clara Wenda’s room matched the type of weapon used to murder Mrs Malin Add to that, Mr Wenda and Ms Dusha’s maid will vouch for their whereabouts at the time of the murder, so they have an alibi They aren’t even considered suspects”

Pierre continued to tell theation failed to find any evidence to support Clara’s innocence This led the two of them to put a request in at the Adventurers’ Guild in hopes of finding someone ould be able to apprehend the real murderer Unfortunately the adventurer that accepted their request couldn’t solve the case It was at this moment of hopelessness that Jier walked in

They were still talking when the lady fro dishes

Feng Wu sat quietly eating the snacks as everyone else chatted

Jier had a better understanding of the situation after Pierre’s explanation He asked, “Pierre can you show us the room Mrs Malin was found?”

Pierre had anticipated the request “Of course The villa has been empty and cordoned off since Mrs Malin’s death but there is still a e can sneak inside”

Jier nodded his head without asking any further

They rested a bit after theto Mrs Malin’s villa Pierre had wanted to call for a carriage but Jier refused, citing the need to for a constitutional walk

The te and there were piles of snow all around The shops were mostly empty with few if any customers inside The streets were quiet with few locals around, those they encountered were ave the place a deserted feel

Jier wondered aloud, “How do you guys stay in business? The place seems really dead”

The blunt comment made Pierre sht now because everyone is out watching the event”

“What event? Is it fun? Are there a lot of people there?” Jier asked in rapid fire succession He was always interested in having a good ti a crowd had to be fun

“It has to do with an egg The way I heard it aof a holy beast He stored it in his pocket di froht now trying to find it It may not seem like it, but there are actually quite a lot of people in Rig?” He questioned his hearing for ain place like this was unexpected They only forayed into thecontract, because of this it was nearly iical beasts were divided into three tiers: ordinary ical beasts Ordinary ical beasts weren’t exactly common but compared to the other two, they were much easier to find Holy and God beasts lived in the spiritual realh they lived together, God beasts, because they were so powerful, held a higher rank than holy beasts Higher level ical beasts even had the ability to take on human form

A person had to be very powerful to force or convince a ical beast from the spiritual realm to form a contract Any contract between a human and a beast fro companionshi+p Contracted beasts were only freed to return to the spiritual realm and resume their lives after the death of their contracted huo to the spiritual realate one, however in order to enter the spiritual realm, you had to be a master If you were too weak then you had to settle for contracting with a low level ical beast No one wanted that Fortunately there was one other th, and that was to get their hands on an egg Any child worth his salt would give up an aret one; Jier was no exception
