It is said that in this mine, a worker was killed by a dead sheep that fell from the sky. It was obviously an accident, but the workers in the mine believed that it was the result of offending the gods.
There was no other way, so the mine owner had to ask a demon hunter to come over and take a look.
When Lynn came to the mine, before he even got close, he heard a man yelling.
"How long are you lazy idiots going to keep fishing? Where did the natural disaster come from? It's just an unfortunate coincidence, nothing more."
"Go back to work quickly. If I can't reach the required output, I won't have a good life, and you won't have a good time either."
Lynn walked into the mine and saw a large group of workers sitting in the open space. A man wearing a purple coat and a gorgeous hat with a feather on the side was yelling at the workers.
With this arrogant and bossy look, he is obviously the boss of this mine.
One of the workers said angrily to the mine owner.
"That's what you're going to tell Lackey's widow? A sheep crushed him to death. Is this just an accident?"
Another worker's temper became much better. "Sir, this matter is very serious and needs experts to handle it. We have to ask a druid to help."
Lynn came over and introduced himself.
"I heard your conversation, and by chance, I'm here to solve this problem."
The workers looked at Lynn, but their eyes were full of distrust.
"Sir, you don't look like a druid or a warlock. I have never seen a druid wearing armor and carrying two swords on his back."
Lynn picked up the badge on his chest and said, "I am a demon hunter, I can also lift the curse, if there is one."
One worker strongly retorted:
"Curse? No, this is not a curse, but a terrible natural disaster!"
Lynn nodded noncommittally. "Okay, well, it's a terrible natural disaster. So, can someone tell me specifically what's going on?"
An older worker said slowly.
"Lackey, our co-worker and friend was killed by a sheep falling from the sky. This must be the result of angering the gods."
"The last time they were angry, they sent locusts and frogs to Zerrikania, but this time they sent us sheep."
"It's them, not them," Lynn corrected, "If the gods are really as stingy as you think, then you'd better not make mistakes in small details like their names."
The mine boss looked at the frightened and pale-faced workers and said helplessly.
"Please, Master Witcher, please be kind and stop scaring them."
"Of course, I was just joking. Gentlemen, don't worry, the gods are not so small-minded."
Even if Lynn said this, the workers' faces did not change much.
"Anyway, Master Demon Hunter, please come here with me, and I will explain the current situation to you."
The mine owner took Lynn to the other side, which was far away from the workers and would not be heard by them.
The mine owner then said.
"Indeed, being crushed to death by a sheep is quite unfortunate and a very pityful loss. Lackey, he was a good and hard-working worker."
"I told them that there must be a reasonable and simple explanation for this. But they refused to listen and insisted on calling it a 'natural disaster'. Alas, I was going to be killed by them."
Lynn Cross your arms over your chest.
"Well, so what you need me to do is to figure out why the sheep fell from the sky, and to prevent the same thing from happening again in the future?"
"Yes."
"No problem, but I have to go to the site to see it first."
Lynn I originally thought that after so many days, the sheep carcasses and workers' bodies might have been disposed of.
He could only go to the scene to judge the situation from other traces.
As a result, the mine owner's next words made him stunned.
"The bodies of the sheep and the workers who were crushed to death are still there. You can just go there. They probably stink to this day. Maybe you should find something to cover your mouth and nose. It might make you feel better."
Lynn was shocked.
"What? Forget the sheep, you didn't send anyone to bury the worker's body properly?"
The owner of the mine seemed completely unaware that there was something wrong with their operation. "Didn't you see how they were mumbling? Superstition frightened them."
"What about you? You don't look scared. Why don't you do something?"
"Are you kidding me? If I can do everything myself, why should I spend money to hire people? Master, have we discussed enough? Can you start working?" the mine owner said confidently.
Lynn:"..."
This is how newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
Just because of the so-called face, or some other messy things, the body was left where it was.
Without even thinking about it, what if a corpse-eating creature comes following the scent?
Corpse-eating creatures like to eat corpses, but they are not taboo on living people either.
"Last question, with so many workers in the mine, no one saw what happened?"
The mine owner shook his head.
"No, at that time we just suddenly heard the roar of an unknown beast, and our ears were almost deafened. Master..."
At the end of the day, the mine owner hesitated to speak.
Lynn waved his hand.
"Okay, okay, don't rush me anymore, I will go and have a look, but I suggest you prepare my reward while I am not back."
"If you give me a bitter look when I come back, I will be very angry."
The body of the sheep who was killed by the sheep and the body of the sheep are on the other side of the mine.
When Lynn came here cautiously, he was surprised to find that the corpse was already stinking, but it had not yet attracted corpse-eating creatures.
He immediately sighed, "These people are so lucky."
If this situation were in mainland China, let alone these two corpses being chewed clean, even the workers in the mines there would probably suffer.
Lynn walked towards the corpse, and a large group of crows standing on the corpse were frightened away.
"Okay, where to start?"
He half-crouched down and fixed his eyes on the head of the worker's corpse, which was pressed down by the sheep. "The base of the skull is cracked. It must have been some kind of heavy blow... Well, there are no other wounds on the body."
Then, he looked up at the sky again.
It's like seeing the original scene:
The worker was suddenly hit on the head by a sheep falling from the sky and died on the spot.
Then he inspected the sheep's carcass.
"There are many bruises on the tissue, caused by falling from a high place. The stomach was cut open, and there are many wounds on the body. This must be caused by extremely sharp claws."
"Judging from the angle and length, it is the claw of Forktail."
