Witch, Fireball and Steam Evil God

Chapter 139 Blanche

"Don't listen to his nonsense. His mental state has been a little abnormal since Blanche went missing."

As the two were talking, a woman came out with a basket of selected vegetables in her hands. Her face was full of fatigue and apology. "Come in, Ethan. I just made some cinnamon pies."

Old Leicht glanced at the woman with disgust and said coldly, "You have also been deceived by the devil!"

He would stay here now and not go anywhere. He would keep a close eye on that devil and make sure that he could never hurt his family!

Ethan vaguely felt that old Lecht's abnormal behavior might be related to his leaving the town five days ago. He followed the woman into the house and took a look around the environment. Everything was tidy and in order, almost the same as when he came here last time. The fire burning in the fireplace dispelled the lingering chill.

"Excuse me, Blanche?"

After taking a seat, Ethan asked.

The woman brought out a steaming hot cinnamon pie and sat opposite him. "Blanche is our horse. The brown one you've seen. The old man raised it himself. A few nights ago, Blanche somehow escaped from the stable and ran out of town. You know, a lot of strange things have happened in this town recently. I told him not to go, but he took a crossbow and went out."

At this point, the woman covered her face in pain. "He became like this after he came back. He insisted that the devil had entered our home. Now he does nothing but sleep. He stares at Xiao Lai like that every day."

Little Lei refers to their son. People in the town call this hardworking and capable young man Little Leicht, knowing that he will be able to inherit the farm well in the future.

"Did Mr. Lechter mention what happened to him outside that day?"

"He didn't want to talk about it, but once when he was sleeping, I heard him shouting, 'Stay away from Blanche, don't bite her.' Poor Blanche, she must have been met by a pack of wolves."

Although she was heartbroken, the woman could do nothing about it.

There are always wild animals in the mountains and forests, so it is reasonable to encounter a pack of wolves. We should be thankful that old Lecht can return safely.

"Thank you, this information is very helpful to me."

Ethan thanked the woman.

"No, I should thank you, Ethan. The guild doesn't want to care about that old guy anymore."

The woman thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you believe him? Is there really a devil in our house? The hunters who came before suspected that the old man had some mental problems. You are the town's expert on the occult, so I trust your judgment more."

"It's too early to judge now. I have to do further investigation."

This case is becoming more and more bizarre and much more complicated than Ethan had expected. Little Lecht doesn't seem to have any problems, but if Mr. Lecht was just hit and went crazy, why did they only target little Lecht?

Although his mental state was extremely unstable, he was able to maintain normal communication and never said that the devil had gone somewhere else.

Maybe the missing Blanche is the key.

However, this happened five days ago, and it is not easy to find Blanche. The woman believes that it has been attacked, and its body must have been highly decayed, or even eaten clean by other wild animals.

But fortunately, Rowena has a magical divination crystal. Ethan thinks that if she changes her career to become a detective, she will definitely become a famous detective in history.

After learning enough about the situation, Ethan brought the 12 golden lions he won from the bet last night and knocked on the door of Ivy's apartment. When he entered the door, the two were having breakfast. Rowena's eyes narrowed into a line, half a piece of toast in her mouth, sitting at the table and swaying. Although Ivy was awake, the golden hair on her head was drooping listlessly. This person and the golden hair were just like students who were forcibly pulled out of the warm bed by their parents to go to school early in the morning.

When Ethan put the 12 golden lions on the table, Rowena finally reacted.

"Oh, it's Ethan, have you eaten?"

The tone is still very confused.

"Are you OK?"

Rowena is a pessimist. "Something's wrong. It's very serious. I'm in pain all over. I may not survive this winter. But these golden lions should be able to keep me alive for a few more days."

"She participated in the shooting club's activities yesterday, and you dragged her around the town for a run. She is exhausted today."

Ivy did the simultaneous interpretation. She was feeling a little sore in her back and waist today and wasn't in high spirits.

"I found some important clues."

Ethan mentioned the matter of Mr. Lechter's farm. "Five days ago, one of their horses ran away. Mr. Lechter left town for a while, and something went wrong when he came back. I suspect it has something to do with the missing horse. I would like to ask the smart Ms. Rowena to help me predict the whereabouts of the horse. This is the reward."

Rowena opened her eyes completely and put the 12 golden lions into her purse. "You...just praised me for being smart, right?"

"Yes, now only you can find the whereabouts of the horse."

"I need information about it, the more specific the better."

"The horse's name is Blanche, a brown stallion. It ran out of the stable five nights ago and should have run towards the mountains."

Rowena didn't even eat. She immediately took out the divination crystal ball, put it on the table, and placed her hands on the crystal ball, letting the light and shadow in the crystal ball change. This time her expression was calm. After about a minute, she said calmly, "The horse you mentioned was attacked by wolves and eaten. When old Lecht found it, the body had been gnawed clean. He hugged the horse and cried for a long time. Eh? Wait a minute."

Rowena performed divination again. This time, her expression was much more serious. She kept muttering, "Blanche, the brown stallion, five days ago at night..."

The light from the crystal ball became brighter, but she frowned. "Hmm, I still can't see clearly. Is it an illusion? Let's try again."

The same divination was performed five or six times. Finally, when the light and shadow went out for the last time, Rowena said, "It shouldn't be an illusion. I saw it!"

"What did you see?"

What Ivy hated most in her life was people who only spoke half of their sentences.

"When old Lechter was crying while holding Blanche, it seemed as if something got into his eyes."

This aroused Rowena's interest. It touched upon her blind spot in knowledge. "The information is still not specific enough. I can only see a vague outline. It looks like some kind of parasite. Let's go find Blanche. I need to borrow its bones."
