Benefits of the Ancestors——Zhou Xie Nai III Chapter 38: A Conversation Before Coffee
This time the four of them saw a believer who was deliberately kept away from other believers who pursued art. Judging from his clothes, it should be that Bogart.
Karin did not disturb the others, and walked directly towards the deliberately alienated person to see what he was doing. This person was writing a novel.
The current content is probably about two suspected villains using crystal balls to spy on the protagonist's actions. One of the two wants to see the protagonist continue to act but is just watching, while the other keeps changing identities and causing trouble for entertainment.
He keeps writing, and although there are occasional pauses, overall it seems that inspiration is constantly emerging.
Noel, who was standing behind him, occasionally covered his mouth with his right hand and yawned. [What's the use of writing these things all day long.]
"Hello, is this Mr. Bogar von Tiamasat Dororoga? I'm sorry to interrupt your inspiration. We are members of the Thirteen Mad Wolf Mercenary Group and we are here to investigate. The recent death from overwork incident, I have something I want to talk to you about." After watching for a while, Carlin didn't want to wait any longer and decided to go straight to the topic.
"Ahem, just call me Bogar. It's not a good topic to discuss here. Let's talk somewhere else." He did not reveal any dissatisfaction because Carlin interrupted his inspiration.
"It was us who were rude. Thank you for your understanding." Carlin immediately chased after him.
Noel's brows moved. [Is there something going on?] Follow Karin to see if Bogar has anything to say.
Bogar took the two of them to a nearby elegantly decorated cafe. After ordering three cups of black coffee with sugar and milk, he made a gesture of invitation, which was of course not a gesture for them to drink coffee.
"Well, that's it. One of our team members disappeared recently. Our team is investigating the matter, and now we find that it is involved in the previous case of death from overwork. We have talked with the pastor before, and after summarizing, we found The victim has less contact with other people on weekdays. I wonder if you still remember Miss Heath, she is also a member of our team. She mentioned before that you like to write alone. We are worried that you will become the next target, so we came here specially. You." Carlin's statement was completely polite and saved Bogar a lot of face.
"It turned out to be Ms. Heath's companion. I didn't expect that I only had a one-time relationship and my companion reminded me. However," the above content did not actually happen, but Carlin felt that he was thinking about it in his mind as he stared at the two of them blankly.
"Oh oh oh, that's it. Sorry, I didn't expect it to be Miss Heath's companion. I have bodyguards to protect me, so you can rest assured. Is there anything you can do to help? My family has a certain reputation in Guglas. Quan, it would be great if I could help you." He looked at the two of them sincerely.
"Anyway, do you know anything about those...dedicated artists? Or what do you think?" Carlin spit out what he had thought about on the way.
"As you can see, I don't know the other believers very well, but they should all be people who love art. There is no doubt about it." Bogar said with a touch of pride.
"Then, have you ever seen a bronze-skinned bald man in your mind? He should be from the principality. He has appeared in palaces, churches, and at the entrance of the Upstream Trading Company. Or have you ever seen a girl with silver hair?" Carlin briefly described Nina's appearance and her impression of the bald head.
"No need for honorifics. It's awkward. I haven't asked you what your names are yet." Bogar smiled awkwardly.
"I almost forgot, I am Noel. I am a dwarf warrior."
"Ah yes, just call me Karin." The rabbit tribe demi-human observed whether the young master had any reserved or unnatural reactions when he spoke, and finally concluded that he did not show any abnormality. "I can't thank you enough.
.Although I am very sorry, we must seize any possible opportunity. Apart from these people who died of overwork, is there anything special happening in the city recently?"
"Although this can be investigated, it is difficult to investigate ordinary civilians." Bogar's implication was that there was no special death incident.
"Well, you are willing to help us? This is really great. However, it is not good to let you work for us in vain. After this incident is over, if there is anything you need to use us, just say it." Noel said straightforwardly.
, say whatever you have to say.
"No, no, no, since you are Miss Heath's companions, I would be very grateful if I could help." I always feel that this Bogar looks a little shy...
"So, have you noticed anything strange around you recently?" Noel asked and Bogar shook his head.
"Ah, by the way, are there clowns in this city? I remember there was a person dressed as a clown in those paintings, but there doesn't seem to be a circus on the street." Carlin decided to reveal some information appropriately.
"Yes, as you said, there is indeed no circus. When I went to Bandari City, I remembered that there was a very good circus, but there was none in Guglas." Bogar looked a bit reminiscing, and he was a little handsome.
"That's worth investigating too."
Noel opened his mouth, then nodded and held back after hearing his companion's question.
"If you get any information, could you please notify us as soon as possible?" Carlin first told the young master the location of the hotel.
"If I find anything, I'll have my servants send it over." Bogar nodded.
"Although we may be overly worried, please be careful. The situation is really urgent, so we will go to other places to investigate first." Noel stood up and planned to leave.
At this time, the coffee was served. "Let's finish before leaving. Don't waste it." Bogar also had a milk jug and a sugar cube on hand, but he didn't add anything and just took a sip.
Noel looked at the coffee and was silent for a moment, then picked up the cup and drank it. "Thank you again for your help." The taste is very bitter, it is pure black coffee.
Carlin noticed that the coffee cup on the table in front of him seemed to be blessed with a long-lasting spell array, which could help coffee drinkers stay awake. This is a very rare magic prop because it exerts an effect on food.
Second transformation.
Afterwards, only Bogar politely thanked the waiter.
Karin held the coffee in his hand and took a sip. "Well, in our line of work, you will have some sense of danger. Don't mind if you do. You'd better spend more time with other people lately. You don't seem to be...
How do you talk to other people? How about... getting over it during this period?"
Bogar said there was no need to worry. After drinking coffee, he said goodbye to the two of them and went back to order people to investigate.
After bidding farewell to Bogar, the two of them saw that it was still early, so they started around the church and checked the roads that believers often passed through to see if they could find any suspicious characters or clues.
Sure enough, after asking around on the road, I found a shop that Roja had probably visited before, and saw a bald principality man's shop near the church.
The shop owner probably saw him while he was grinding coarse salt. As soon as he lowered his head to pour water, he disappeared. No one from other nearby shops witnessed this person. It was only visible for a moment.
The location where he was standing was a hundred feet from the church gate, and the time was about seven days ago.
And Nina has been missing for four days.
"Boss, do the nobles in this city usually come out to do research or have fun?" Karin asked.
"If recreation refers to spending money lavishly, isn't that normal? If research refers to investigating public sentiment, it's rare." The shopkeeper didn't hear the meaning of artistic research.
"That's it. Our brothers in the mercenary group met a noble young master named Dororoga before. Is this family very famous in this city? The young master should be a person who often goes to church, but is not very religious.
I don’t see them interacting with other people.”
"Torologa, I think he was an emerging nobleman who was in charge of business. I can't remember exactly." The shopkeeper shook his head. This part of his memory was probably half common sense and half under the influence of amnesia.
In the previous history of the kingdom, the military power of the nobles was mentioned. Private soldiers were legal but there was no limit on the number. The king's management of this was that military power belonged to military positions. Nobles could also obtain military positions if they had the ability. The army itself
It is also easy to produce nobles.
I don’t know what degree of emerging is emerging. Common sense in different countries is different. But it must be at least three generations or more. And are nobles also allowed to have special combat capabilities such as magicians? They do not need to report it to the country. Moreover, hiring magicians
But it's very expensive. Remember, if you go to Anguiku, you should be legally required to register.
The Church of the God of Knowledge and Art, or this city, does not have a dedicated public gallery, the kind that displays finished works of art. However, there may be one in a noble house.
As for the royal palace, the church, and the countercurrent trading houses, compared to the entire royal city, one is in the center of the city, one is at the corner of the city, and the other is also at the corner of the city, which can be regarded as an equilateral triangle.
In order to figure out where the center of this triangle is, the two of them took a look and saw that it was a piece of ordinary streets and houses.
On the other side, when Alexander and Ryan were passing by a street, they found a fortune-telling stall run by an old woman. There were many people and it seemed to be very spiritual.
"There's a fortune-telling stall over there, why don't you go take a look?" Ryan tugged at Alexander.
"Oh...divination." Alexander stopped. "I don't know if it's true. We don't have many clues at the moment... Well, let's give it a try." Alexander went over to wait in line and watched while waiting.
.Ryan also joined the team and waited behind Alexander.
It seems that each person's divination time does not exceed a quarter of an hour. There are about twenty people in front of you standing in two queues. It looks like you will have to wait for a long time.
Queue! Just queue up! Alexander had nothing to do. The last two people waited in line for about three hours before they could take their turn, and the people behind them were taking more and more pictures.
