After selling all the magic stones, the Loki Familia intended to delve deeper, to the middle and lower floors for another round.
However, it was getting late, so they planned to spend the night on the eighteenth floor and rest.
"What about accommodation? Are we camping in the Forest like before?" Tiona asked while counting money.
"We didn't bring camping gear," Tione reminded her.
Finn then smiled and said, "Let's stay at the town's inn for a change."
"But Leader, staying in Rivira costs a lot of money!" Tione said with some heartache.
After all, they were here to earn money, and they really didn't want to be extravagant with accommodation.
"It's alright, I'll pay this time!" Finn gave everyone a reassuring look.
Then he looked at Lin Che and asked, "Leader Lin, what about you?".
"I don't care. Since you're staying in town, I'll join you," Lin Che waved his hand, not bothered.
"Great! Leader is so generous!" Tiona cheered.
However, just then, Rivilia stopped in her tracks, her sharp eyes scanning the surroundings.
"Rivilia, what's wrong?" Ais asked strangely.
She thought Rivilia had sensed a monster or something, but she didn't feel anything at all.
"How strange, the atmosphere in town feels off!" Rivilia warned.
"Speaking of which, there seem to be very few people," Lefiya chimed in.
Before anyone else could speak, the door of an inn in the distance was opened from the inside.
It was a one-eyed man wearing an eyepatch, who said with an annoyed expression, "Seriously, who can stand this!"
"Bors!" Finn suddenly called out, clearly recognizing the other person.
The man looked over and immediately showed a surprised expression, saying, "Loki Familia, why are you here at this time?"
Everyone walked forward, and Finn asked, "What happened?"
The man named Bors sighed and said, "Someone was killed!"
Everyone was startled, and then followed him into the inn.
In one of the rooms, they saw a male body lying on the ground.
Not only that, the body was not wearing any clothes; it was completely naked.
Since there were females present, Lin Che casually picked up a bath towel and covered the body's private parts.
The gazes of the Loki Familia females towards Lin Che carried a hint of gratitude.
To determine the identity of the deceased, Bors brought a potion that makes Blessings visible.
Seeing this, Rivilia frowned and said, "This act of desecrating the dead is not commendable!"
"Is this the time to be concerned about that?" Bors pulled out the stopper and dripped a drop of the potion onto the body's back.
Soon, the Blessing appeared.
It was a tattoo of an elephant's face!
"High Elf Miss, you can understand it, right?" Bors asked Rivilia.
Although the Blessing had appeared, it was all written in the gods' language, which ordinary people couldn't understand at all.
Lin Che had also learned divine script while studying Forging.
Although he hadn't learned it all, he could understand most of it.
Rivilia walked up to the body, took a look, and said, "A member of the Ganesha Familia, his name is Hashana Doria, Level 4!"
Hearing this, everyone showed shocked expressions.
Bors even exclaimed loudly, "How is this possible? A Level 4 adventurer was killed without any resistance?"
He examined the body again, and as if confirming something, said, "The killer is a woman!"
A nearby beastman echoed, "And she's a master capable of killing a Level 4!"
The two looked at each other, paused slightly, as if they had thought of something, and their eyes simultaneously turned towards the females of the Loki Familia.
Only Level 5 and Level 6 adventurers could kill a Level 4 adventurer.
There weren't many female adventurers who had reached Level 5 in Orario, but the Loki Familia had several.
Coincidentally, they had just arrived in Rivira.
Thus, the suspicion grew.
Seeing this scene, Lefiya was startled and nervously hid behind Ais.
"The situation matches up. The killer is one of you who disguised herself as someone who just entered town, right?" Bors questioned Finn and the others.
The beastman next to him also said, "That's right, she used a honey trap to lure him, and then when he was careless..."
They pointed at Ais and asked, "Was it you?"
But clearly, Ais, with her natural cluelessness, didn't seem like it.
Without waiting for Ais to answer, the two pointed at Lefiya and asked, "Was it you?"
That wasn't right either. Lefiya was only Level 3 and a mage; how could she kill a Level 4 at close range!
So they pointed at Rivilia and said, "Was it you?"
Still not right. This was a High Elf. Given her arrogance, she would certainly disdain to do such a thing.
The two looked at Tiona again and said, "Was it you?"
However, when they saw Tiona's flat chest, they said with disappointed expressions, "You couldn't possibly be the one!"
"Yes, absolutely impossible!" The beastman also nodded in agreement.
"Good heavens, killing someone and then attacking their heart!" Lin Che found it amusing. Tiona's only flaw was her chest, and the two had precisely stepped on a landmine.
"Where are you looking when you say that?" Tiona said angrily.
The two ignored Tiona because their eyes had been drawn to Tione at that moment.
There was nothing they could do; it was too big!
"This person is very suspicious!" Bors said with a fascinated expression.
"Yes, that size can definitely attract many men!" The young beastman also echoed with a dazed look.
However, their words completely enraged Tione. She lifted her foot and stomped it down fiercely, saying with a distorted face, "My chastity belongs only to Leader! If you spout any more nonsense, I'll crush that dirty thing between your legs!"
Bors and the young beastman were both scared and covered their crotches, trembling.
Finn also covered his head at this time, saying with a helpless expression, "Bors, you saw it, how could they possibly seduce men?"
Bors nodded frantically, no longer daring to make wild guesses.
After this little interlude, the members of Finn's Familia also helped with the deduction, wanting to find the killer.
Tione's anger subsided, and she asked Finn, "Speaking of which, what was the killer's motive?"
"If it was just for finances, it wouldn't have caused such a big commotion!" Finn analyzed thoughtfully.
Lin Che came to the deceased's luggage and rummaged through it, saying, "Judging from the rummaged luggage of the deceased, the killer seems to have been looking for something."
"Because she didn't find it, she destroyed the body in anger?" Bors asked with some uncertainty.
"If that's the case, then the killer is still in this town!" Finn slightly frowned.
"That's right, if there's something she was willing to kill for, she certainly wouldn't give up easily!" Lin Che also nodded in agreement.
Finn looked at Lin Che and asked, "Leader Lin, are you interested in helping to catch this killer?"
Lin Che shook his head and refused, saying, "I'll pass. You guys go for it!"
He didn't want to get involved in the main storyline; after all, it concerned the Dark Faction, which was too dangerous.
Lin Che himself certainly wasn't afraid of the Dark Faction, but the other members of his Familia were still very weak.
For example, Saeko Busujima and Yotsuya Miko were still Level 1, and Sakura and Illya were still children.
Who knew what those lunatics were capable of!
Ryu Lion's Astraea Familia, all Level 4, wasn't they still plotted against and destroyed by those lunatics?
"Then so be it," Finn said with some disappointment.
Afterward, he had Bors notify everyone in Rivira Town, and even all the adventurers on the eighteenth floor, to gather.
Lin Che walked out of the inn, and with a leap, arrived at the top of the giant tree in the center of town.
His eyes shone with light, scanning every corner of the eighteenth floor.
This was Clairvoyance, not a Servant skill from the Type-Moon World, but a technique taught to him by Luo Hao.
This kind of Clairvoyance is literal; it allows one to see very far.
It wouldn't be like in the Type-Moon World, where high-level Clairvoyance could even see the past and future.
That kind of ability was too exaggerated!
After scanning around, Lin Che quickly found his target.
It was a man wearing full armor, but Lin Che's Clairvoyance saw through her disguise.
She had just put on a layer of male skin as a disguise; she herself was female.
Most importantly, she was not a normal human but, like the monsters in the Underground City, had a magic stone inside her.
Because of Bors's summons, she also gathered with everyone else in Rivira Town.
Bors stood on a high platform and said to everyone below, "The killer is a woman capable of killing a Level 4, but if she expertly uses a woman's weapon, she might be able to disregard the level difference."
Saying this, Bors suddenly shouted excitedly, "Therefore, all women must undergo a physical examination! Hurry and strip!"
His words directly caused a cheer from all the male adventurers.
The female adventurers, however, were not having it and all showed angry expressions.
For a moment, the adventurers on both the male and female sides were actually opposing each other.
"Stop talking nonsense, we will examine the females!" Rivilia stepped forward and said.
If she didn't step forward now, the two sides would start fighting.
Seeing that it was the Loki Familia's Nine Demon Princess, the legendary Elven Royalty, many female adventurers immediately stopped resisting.
Some female adventurers even blushed and became shy.
