The Benefits of the Ancestors——Zhu Xie Nai III Chapter 41
A few people went back to have a delicious lunch, and after taking a short rest, they set off to the fortune telling stall. After a long queue, they were able to divine four times this time.
Noel's face was full of "Is this thing really reliable?" He crossed his hands.
Now is Carlin's most annoying guessing time. Fortunately, the old fortune teller probably won't deliberately make things difficult for him like the mastermind behind the scenes.
"What I want to ask is, where was most of the blood that was lost on Versettire who died at the door of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Art?" But the result of the divination was that it was not in the material plane, that is, the Lord.
Although the information was incomplete, it pointed to only one person, so it was easy to divine. Alexander paid the money and waited beside him worriedly.
"Mother-in-law, I would like to ask, who has been in contact with the portrait of Nina that appeared in the XX Tavern six days ago since it was painted?" Ryan asked, and the result was that there were probably close to a thousand people, and the specifics could not be determined.
.
"Mother-in-law, please tell me, among the painters who died of overwork in the city, what people or things did they come into contact with during their lifetimes, apart from the priests of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Art? I want to know all the things that meet the conditions.
Do you know?" Carlin asked across Ryan.
"Then, what I want to know is the clown Shefeli from Anquaku who assassinated the king before, and the spell user Halson Crostin Green of Bakato. Is there someone who has met these two people before?
Or do they all have something in common that they have been exposed to something?" This sentence was said by Noel later.
After the ceremony was completed with a series of questions, the old woman did not open her eyes for a long time, and even shed a few drops of cold sweat. After a while, the people waiting behind her became a little impatient, and she said: "You can't say it, and you can't say it."
[I’m just saying, you’re just pretending to be a ghost.] Noel raised his eyebrows. “Is it that exaggerated?”
"I won't accept this money. You juniors have caused such a big trouble. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay here any longer."
"I'm very sorry..." Alexander felt that maybe he had something to do with the evil god again.
All four people's orders were waived, and then the old lady closed the stall directly. "Just take care of yourself." After looking at the sky, it was now about half past four in the afternoon.
Alexander thought for a while and wrote on the letter paper, "It can be confirmed that there is a problem between the clown Xie Feili and the magician mentioned before. Is there any way to find out what happened to the magician when he disappeared, or what he said when he came back and went crazy?
What?"
"Ms. Alexander, I am not a prophecy magician. Besides, even the best prophecy magicians cannot find out what happened so long ago." If such an encounter can really be found out, I am afraid that the people who want to know the most are not the ones who want to know.
"About the latter, why don't you ask his nephew?" Roja appended the address of the magician's nephew.
But Alexander was scheduled to go to the Church of the God of Knowledge in the evening. The name he got today had to be checked in the church. It was already eight o'clock when he came out, and it actually only took less than two hours to check. The rest of the time was on the way, and
There was no meal. I could only visit the nephew the next day.
In the early morning, after getting up and washing and eating, several people went to visit the guard captain as planned. His house was an ordinary small room. After asking the girl next door, I learned that he was on duty now and would come back every evening.
"Is that so... Do you know where he is on duty?" Alexander asked kindly, and the little girl told her that the uncle was not a sentry guard, but the captain of the patrol guard. The patrol sections are usually fixed, and you are anxious to go there.
If you look around, you can find a sure path to follow.
After thanking the little girl, Alexander chose an intersection according to the patrol route he was told and went to guard it. Everyone else also chose a location.
An hour and a half later, on a busy commercial street, Carlin waited for the guard captain with a long scar on his face.
Regardless of appearance, judging from the boots and scabbard, this man is no ordinary guard captain. Generally speaking, a small guard captain cannot wear non-standard equipment at will. The scabbard is also inlaid with a diamond-shaped ruby.
It's obviously magic equipment.
Carlin stepped forward to stop this middle-aged man with an extraordinary appearance and a resolute face. The guard captain was half a head taller than a man and had a brown figure. He gestured to the guards behind him to continue patrolling. "You are not a citizen, take risks.
Or a mercenary? What's the matter with you?"
"You are right. I am a member of the Thirteenth Crazy Wolf Mercenary Group, and I am looking for the whereabouts of the missing members. After investigation, we learned that a magician named Halson Christian Green had disappeared.
, and was impostered for a period of time. We believe that his disappearance may be of the same nature as the disappearance of our group members, and you are his only nephew. I wonder if you have time to have dinner with us at noon? "
"Mercenaries of the Thirteenth Mad Wolf, this is not the first time I've heard of you. I didn't expect to see you today. But I still have patrol duties, so I still have time at night, so I'll make an appointment at the end of this street.
Red Lizard Restaurant." The other party was a little surprised, but not surprised.
"Thank you for your help, we will wait for you tonight." After finishing speaking, Carlin left. The four of them met at the appointed meeting place at noon and had a simple lunch.
"If you all can't figure out what to do next, let's split up and wander around the city. We'll meet at the restaurant in the evening. I can't think of anything else to do." Alexander was having a hard time.
I don’t have much brain power, so I’ll just take a walk now.
"This is really a very reasonable opinion." Noel's words were not sarcastic. After all, he was a dwarf and he decided to go for a drink.
"That's all." Carlin said. He had asked before and planned to go outside the palace, where they were allowed to walk around and observe the inner city.
"That's it." Ryan nodded. He decided to go to the place where the bald head appeared before and wander around there.
Of course, there was no additional information, but the four of them discovered more members calling themselves "the assembly" from the streets. These members are young people with strong patriotism and aggressive personalities, and it seems that they are going to fight a war in the near future.
mobilization.
The delaying tactics of the Revolutionary Army are almost reaching their limit, but whether this is driven by the will of Endigon's superiors or whether it is regarded as a test by conspirators with ulterior motives is unknown.
Another thing, when Noel was walking around this afternoon, some rumors spread among the drinkers. One of the princes was assassinated by an unknown person a few days ago, but I don’t know whether the assassination was successful. Of course, this is
The credibility of the rumors should be very low.
In the evening, several people met at the Red Lizard Restaurant. The waiters here were all lizardmen. The specialty of this restaurant is a variety of aquatic products from the wetland ecology. It can grill, stew, and take-out sandwiches.
"He hasn't arrived yet, let's find a seat first." Carlin said, hesitating whether to order in advance.
"Hmm... I feel like the captain should be a regular customer of this store. You can ask him what he likes." Ryan said. He went to the waiter to ask if the captain had any dishes he often ordered. His guess was correct. He was indeed a regular customer.
, but more often than not it’s a take-out sandwich.
"It seems that this patrol has been on quite a lot of missions recently." Noel said casually, and ordered some dishes with Ryan for twenty paise.
Alexander and Karin heard at this time. "Cannon attack spell...high-speed twisting...implementation...inscription armor..." This was two guards eating at the same time.
While whispering, they finished eating and left.
However, the information seemed to have nothing to do with them, so neither of them paid much attention. Now they just finished ordering and waited for the captain.
Before the first dish of the order was served, the captain of the guard arrived. Karin stood up and waved to him to come over.
Self-introductions and pleasantries were dispensed with. After a good meal, Alexander was the first to speak: "Hello, I am Alexander from the 13th Mad Wolf Mercenary Regiment. That's it, we discovered that the Church of the God of Knowledge and Art had a death from overwork.
The paintings left by the deceased before their death seemed to correspond to some real-life characters. One of the paintings we think should be your uncle. After asking someone to divine it, our judgment was further confirmed, so we took the liberty to come here.
I hope to know something about his life."
"If I know better." The guard captain nodded.
"Then, were there any unusual circumstances before and after his disappearance? What was the last thing he studied before he disappeared, and what did he mention when he was unconscious after he came back?" Alexander asked.
"If there is anything strange or abnormal, please tell me." Ryan said.
"There was nothing abnormal before the disappearance. If I remember correctly, I was researching magic props that enhance the strength of the soul. The research on this kind of magic that is difficult to make has been stagnant for two years. I was missing for half a year, and I was in Gugra when I found it.
Sicheng is already crazy. Even if he takes good care of him, he is already old and has reached his limit." The captain shook his head. In general, he passed away last month, half a year after returning to recuperate. Except for
A few people already knew about the imposter incident, so there was nothing wrong with it.
"Well, is that so?" Alexander touched his chin, but he didn't expect that the fourth person was already dead. "Then, did anyone come to visit him before he died? Have you ever come into contact with a bronze-haired bald man from the Principality?"
