This Lord is Very Scientific

Lin Ke looked at the people around him and smiled slightly: "Everyone who gives me information, I can buy them a drink. I hate those Wild Boar-men to death... But, if someone gives false information, they won't live past tonight."

As he spoke, a surge coursed through Lin Ke's body.

A level seven practitioner!

The young human before them was a level seven practitioner!

Immediately, the voices of those who were shouting nearby quieted down.

The Abyss is filled not mostly with strong practitioners, but with ordinary people.

They live the hardest lives as well.

Thus, long years of struggle have honed their instincts to seek benefits and avoid harm.

No one dared to try to scam or disturb Lin Ke anymore.

Except for a man and a woman just now.

"Hey, we even ran into a practitioner, sir." The man chuckled, unabashedly holding his drink before saying, "I did see some Wild Boar-men before, but they belong to the Holy Life Alliance."

"What about the others? How do you know they are from the Holy Life Alliance?" Lin Ke looked into the man's eyes: "And, among them, is there a... [Shaman]?"

In Naseng's common language, Shaman and [Shaman] are not the same.

"[Shaman]?" The man in front pondered without any change in his expression: "That's an ancient profession, right? It seems I've heard of it... But I can't quite distinguish it."

However, when Lin Ke mentioned [Shaman], he noticed the woman embracing a girl beside him had a subtle change in her expression.

"What, you know?" Lin Ke turned his head to look at the woman on his right, squinting: "You know the Wild Boar-man [Shaman]?"

"No, I haven't heard of it." The woman shook her head and then took out a copper coin from her arms: "This is for the drink, returning it to you."

With that said, the woman went to the other side to drink.

Lin Ke gave her a deep look before turning back to continue listening to the man speak.

But in the end, the man just talked about seeing those Wild Boar-men go to a farm to buy food, and they were from the Holy Life Alliance coming to attend a noble council.

There were a few others who had seen Wild Boar-men too, but it was in different layers of the Abyss, and their information didn't quite match what Lin Ke wanted.

Later, to bond with these people, Lin Ke specially played a few pop songs on the guitar, receiving a wave of applause.

Although his attention was always on the woman embracing the girl.

The woman remained as usual, even cheering when Lin Ke sang.

By late night, Lin Ke directly booked a room at the tavern, then went upstairs, pretending to sleep.

It wasn't until then that the woman, who had previously been holding the girl, let out a deep breath, released the girl, and hurriedly left with a calm expression.

From the second-floor window, Lin Ke watched the woman leave as if escaping, let out a cold laugh, donned his hood, and his figure vanished into the night.

His hood was a level two magic item, possessing an optical invisibility effect, one of the creations of the Great Wilderness.

This woman's unusual demeanor earlier clearly indicated she knew something about the Wild Boar Shaman.

Lin Ke had to follow and find out, inquire.

One must know that [Shaman] is indeed an ancient profession, and in a place like the Abyss, where there is no compulsory education, just having heard of [Shaman] is quite impressive.

Lin Ke, lightweight and nimble, followed the woman through streets and alleys, eventually reaching an ordinary house.

This woman seemed to have no counter-surveillance methods, focused only on rushing home, perhaps Lin Ke's footsteps wouldn't have mattered even without the hood.

The residence was small, likely the woman's personal dwelling.

Though she was an ordinary person, she seemed to have means and made some money.

Lin Ke followed in coldly.

Sure enough!

The woman, upon entering, did not go elsewhere but lit an oil lamp and headed upstairs.

Lin Ke followed closely behind.

"Du Juan, Du Juan, where are you? Where are you hiding? I'm back!" In the dim light, the woman called softly.

"Chama Duo, did you bring someone back?"

A clear, melodious voice sounded, seemingly a little girl's voice.

As Lin Ke was about to frown, he felt something rush at him from behind.

Charge!

Lin Ke turned, clenched his fist, and promptly used the [Knight] skill—Charge!

"Bang!!"

He punched out, sending a shadow flying back, but in doing so, his body was revealed.

"What?! You actually followed me!" the woman named Chama Duo exclaimed in shock and fury, immediately taking out two daggers from her back.

"I advise you not to move."

Lin Ke said coldly, stepping forward and chopping the woman's wrists with both hands, then grasping her throat.

"I..." Chama Duo felt her throat tightening in Lin Ke's hand, fragile like wind-dried bread: "Don't kill me..."

"Don't kill Chama Duo!" At this moment, the figure that had attacked Lin Ke appeared, and it was a little Wild Boar-man girl!

The little Wild Boar-man girl had big eyes, and two little tusks grew from her lower lip upwards, surprisingly appearing somewhat cute.

Wild Boar-man girl—Du Juan!

"Whew!"

Even though Chama Duo's throat was tightly gripped, and she said words like "Don't kill me," she nonetheless stabbed both daggers at Lin Ke from behind.

She would rather die trying to drag Lin Ke down too!

"No need for such drastic actions, I won't kill you." Lin Ke didn't move, but Chama Duo felt her body restrained by an invisible pressure, unable to move.

Skill—Pressure!

Simultaneously, the little Wild Boar-man girl was also held down.

"Now, speak." Lin Ke released the grip on her throat, waving his hand slightly, both of their bodies were directly lifted by a strong force and brought before Lin Ke: "The Wild Boar Great Shaman, do any of you know him, the legendary one."

Lin Ke was bluffing them!

To his surprise, the little Wild Boar-man girl exclaimed: "How do you know about him!"

While Chama Duo struggled, saying: "Du Juan, he's bluffing you! He wants to kill us to silence us! Don't say anything!"

Kill to silence?

Lin Ke raised an eyebrow: "I think, we have a misunderstanding." Then he lifted the restraint.

Their bodies relaxed the moment he lifted the pressure and they prepared to flee, Lin Ke spoke softly: "I just want to have a nice chat with you two ladies, about that damned Wild Boar Great Shaman."

Wild Boar Great Shaman... damned?

Human woman Chama Duo and Wild Boar-man girl Du Juan exchanged glances.

"To tell you, I have a grudge against that Wild Boar Great Shaman, I am currently seeking any clues that could lead to his demise." Lin Ke smiled.

"I... I don't know if I should trust you, but you're different from them." Du Juan raised her head, looking at Lin Ke, with a hint of hesitation: "But, I was once chosen as a sacrifice by the tribe [Shaman], and it took my parents' lives for me to escape."

"The legendary [Great Shaman], he is the sole ruler of the entire grasslands, I have never encountered him."
