The Benefit of Ancestors - Zhu Xie Nai III Chapter 56: Nina Wakes Up
When the two of them walked to the guard captain's house and were still some distance away, they happened to see him on patrol, but he did not notice Carlin and Ryan.
Seeing this, Carlin directly stepped forward to say hello to the guard captain, briefly said that he hoped to go to the house for a little more investigation, and asked for his opinion.
"Let's talk about it in the evening after my work is over." Of course, the captain had no reason to be in a hurry.
"Okay. But where did the old gentleman go after he came back, such as the place where he disappeared, and... the place where he was buried. We know that the murderer likes to follow his targets with great fanfare, and there should be clues in these places showing that he did what he did.
What." Karin thought for a while and then said it.
"Yes, we hope to check everything carefully to obtain possible information." Ryan immediately added to ease Carlin's embarrassment.
"I don't know the specific location of the disappearance. As for the burial place... there is no specific location, only a general range. The old man made a will before his death. After his death, his body was burned, and the remaining bones were picked up in a box and sunk.
It's at the bottom of the lake. It might be difficult to swim down to find it." Then the captain informed the two of them where they had lowered the casket into the water.
"That's enough. There should be clues by the lake. We also got a letter from the old gentleman in advance, and we will convey it to you tonight." Of course, Noel didn't ask for the letter, but he copied a copy.
It doesn't seem to be very good. It's best to go get it. Carlin informed me on the way.
"Really? Thank you very much." The captain said in disbelief.
"Let's go directly to the lake to have a look?" Carlin was a little hesitant, after all, time was still a little tight.
"Let's go and take a look first. If there's no one, we'll come back and take a look." Ryan thought that the worst he could do would be to skip dinner.
"Okay." After Karin said that, he took the time and went to the lake to have a look.
The two of them went out of the city and took a long circuit to the place mentioned by the guard captain. There were many aquatic plants in this lake. There were some aquatic trees leaking out of the lake, and the underwater ones were mainly algae. The scenery was great.
"Um...Ryan, why don't you ask the plants here where the box is?" Carlin said.
"This... Although you can use spells, I feel that the information in that box is a bit difficult. It takes a long time to tell, and it doesn't seem to have a particularly high degree of recognition." Ryan feels that his magic power is not enough, but he mainly relies on his spell casting skills.
Not very good.
"Don't worry, it shouldn't be difficult. Just ask them if there are any new metal products coming here?" Carlin gave a good idea.
"Okay, since it's underwater, then the plants that can extend into the water should know about it." Ryan used the scenery told by the captain as a reference and began to look for relatively older plants near the location that relatively matched the captain's description.
Kalin activated the enchantment effect of the equipment, ran on the water and looked at his feet. From the lake surface, the underwater aquatic plants were intricately intertwined, which was impossible to observe with the naked eye - if it were seen by ordinary people
I observed that it might be fished out as treasure, and if it turned out to be charred bones, it is not difficult to imagine that something blasphemous would be done.
Ryan asked a few duckweeds that didn't look too big or too small, using Awakening Spirit on them, and asked about the relevant situation. However, the spiritual existence of plants did not have a very far field of vision, so after trying several times, Ryan didn't.
Ask for any useful information.
"Then we might have to go into the water." Carlin and Ryan made this judgment after discussing it.
"I guess so." Ryan nodded.
The ability of the two to hold their breath is much longer than that of normal people, and even if they are entangled by water plants and the like, they can use the explosive power provided by their well-trained bodies to break free instantly. After searching for a long time, they searched using the floor style.
Fang Fang finally found the box.
[Old Mr. Harson, how offended.] Carlin twisted his clothes and then wiped his hair casually. "Then Ryan, let's start?"
Ryan nodded, but before releasing the awakening spirit, he first paid homage to the old man and confessed to him. However, the soul on the bones was not reflected. Generally speaking, awakening the spirit can easily awaken the body.
The remaining soul, even the fragments of the soul will do. "Is it possible that the soul was taken away?" His face looked ugly.
"If the old gentleman's soul research fails, it's probably like this... Doesn't this god like to watch the fun the most? If the victim is crazy, he will personally silence him? But even if this is the case, how can we tell his nephew?"
"It's not easy to talk about the soul..." Ryan shook his head.
Carlin checked it and found that there were no other marks on the box, so he closed it and returned it to its original position. After restoring it, Ryan apologized again.
The two prepared to visit the captain's house again, and arrived at the captain's house at ten o'clock in the evening after receiving the envelope Noel asked for. There was no candlelight... The captain had not returned yet, but it was about to happen.
Not long after, Carlin saw the captain returning from eating a sandwich. "I kept you waiting." He swallowed the last bite and walked quickly to open the door for the two of them.
"It's okay, we just arrived." Ryan was a little distracted.
After a few polite words, Carlin crossed the threshold again, and the captain said, "If you have anything you want to investigate, please feel free to do so."
Carlin nodded. "We have roughly reached a conclusion. If you don't mind, I can briefly explain to you that he has to make other preparations."
"I'll make you some coffee." The captain swallowed subconsciously.
"Ah, okay, you're busy." Carlin and Ryan went to the old man's bedroom to see if he "witnessed" anything on his bed.
It was normal to guess that the two were preparing to use spells or other methods. Therefore, he did not want to listen to Carlin's conclusion, but went to the kitchen. The captain had a high emotional intelligence.
Ryan took out his magic weapon and pointed it at the bed and released the Awakening Spirituality. As a result, there was no spiritual presence on the bed. Moreover, when he turned on the Awakening Spirituality, he briefly sensed that there was no wind or earth element in this room. Logically speaking, this was not true.
Possible. "I feel so weird..." He told Karin about the situation.
"This room." Karin tried to observe whether there were any traces of spells here. But he didn't feel that there were any spells still in effect.
In order to verify Carlin's judgment, Ryan then used Awakening Spirituality on all objects in the entire house. However, the floors, walls, and ceilings of this building could not reflect any spiritual existence.
"There seems to be no possibility of awakening spirituality here. Both elements of wind and earth are missing in this house." Finally, Ryan shook his head.
"But the caster himself should have been expelled, or the spirituality of the objects here has been erased by some means, so there won't be any traces." Karin thinks so.
"Is it possible that it is the effect of a certain spell, or is it possible that the caster was not really expelled?" Ryan asked.
Karin shook his head, but chose to go to the captain and ask the old man if he had anything he had been using that he had stored elsewhere.
At this time, the captain made coffee for the two of them. As for the things he had been using, he didn't know. Probably the only things he had been using were the items in the laboratory. He casually asked Carlin if he had discovered anything just now.
"The wind and earth elements in this house have disappeared, and there is not even a trace of aura on the objects in the house." Carlin used a somewhat easy-to-understand expression, but it was not popular enough.
"Aura? What does aura mean?" the captain asked confused.
"Similar to our souls." Karin thought for a while and said.
"Is that a soul... You are indeed close to finding the cause of the old man's death." I don't know what the captain means by this. Has he already confirmed it?
"Have you also noticed? The murderer's methods involve the soul and even higher levels. We also got the help of the old gentleman to dispel his influence." Afterwards, Carlin showed the captain the letter that Noel wanted.
"If he died because of losing his soul, it would make sense if there were no traces of injuries on his body. This is the only explanation. I'm afraid it has something to do with the evil god."
Wenyan received the letter and the captain gave the remaining equipment to the two of them in return. The first earring is a catalyst-type magic weapon, which can save some cheap spell materials - and also avoids the trouble of digging out materials during the battle.
.
As for battle axes and gloves, they are the weapons of general barbarians or barbarians, as well as fighters.
This was regarded as an additional commission being settled, and he had to go back early. Because of his mood, the captain did not politely leave the two of them to have tea or something.
Not long after Carlin and Ryan came back to get the letter at the hotel, Alexander heard Nina moaning when she woke up. "Mm... people... where is...?" Nina swayed.
He held the edge of the bed on one side of his body with one hand and sat up.
"Nina?" Alexander popped out of the cushioned armchair and approached the bed gently. "Are you awake?"
"Ms. Alexander... this is... a hotel?... people... remember... what... happened... to the black shadow...?" Nina covered her forehead with her other hand, looking at
She still feels a little uncomfortable when she wakes up. She has slept for three days and two nights now.
"This is a hotel. You have slept for about a day and two nights since you were rescued by us. Do you feel like there is anything wrong now? Do you need me to find a doctor? Are you hungry? As for the specific circumstances of your rescue before
Let Sophia tell you face to face, I wasn't there at the time. Just calm down and calm down, and we'll talk about anything later." Alexander informed each one of them as calmly as possible.
"I'm... okay... I'm just... a little tired." Nina let go of her hand, and sank into the warm, soft and comfortable goose feather mattress. She closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
Alexander helped her pull up the quilt, and then went out to call others. But she opened the door, walked to the corridor and knocked on the door of everyone's room in turn, but no one was there. But one after another, except for the God of Shengyao
Zate, who didn't come back from the church, and Ryan and Carlin, who went to investigate the ending, and the rest of them all came back before dinner.
At the same time, the Countercurrent Trading Company and the Mercenary Industrial Company came to inform the group that the war was escalating and asked them to leave quickly, although Carlin told Alexander when he got the letter.
