Originally, it was just an exhibition team. Although it was in the name of the empire, such trivial matters could not be reported to Yalan. However, this matter was originally Yalan's focus, so it was reported as soon as it happened.
This side of Yalan.
Of course, Linton took over directly after that. After all, Yalan didn't know what Linton wanted to do. Regarding the matter of the core of the world, Linton didn't seriously mention it to Yalan.
After saying goodbye to Yalan, Linton went directly to the location of the incident, Antorom City, which is located in the northeast of the empire. This is a relatively large city in the northeast of the empire. At this time, the exhibition has already opened in the west of the empire.
We walked around and were about to go from west to east, from the northeast to the east of the empire to continue the exhibition, but when we were about to pass through the city of Antorom, something happened.
Linton has marked the core of the world, so if necessary, Linton can directly teleport there to find someone. However, because of Yalan's focused attention, the report was too timely, resulting in that as soon as something happened here, something happened over there.
Received the message. Linton estimates that this thing may not have been brought back to the opponent's base yet. His goal is to catch a big fish, so it is best to give the opponent some time to let this thing be sent to the big fish.
So I came here first to take a look at the situation and confirm whether the other party's target was the core of the world or an ordinary money grab.
Arriving at the site of the incident, Linton discovered that the incident was more exaggerated than he thought. When Linton arrived at Antorom City, he found that the entire city was under martial law, and he briefly inquired about the people who came to greet him.
Only then did Linton realize how exaggerated the person in charge of the exhibition was.
It happened this morning in Antorom City. The exhibition team had actually arrived at Antorom City two days ago. After two days of preparation, they were preparing to open the exhibition tomorrow. At this time, the exhibits were all
It is placed at the exhibition location, the warehouse of the Tethra Temple in Antorom City. Yes, this exhibition borrows the boundaries of a temple, because Antorom City does not have a dedicated museum, and this temple
The place is big and just right.
Then, this morning, a group of people probably stormed the temple and robbed all the exhibits. It was probably because the other party did not leave anyone alive? All the guards? Temple personnel, even
Passers-by were silenced. Saikedin was lucky enough to survive because he was not there in the morning. It wasn’t until the patrol team who noticed something was wrong in the afternoon that they discovered the tragedy here. Then they notified him and went to the scene to have a look? Sai
Keding was so frightened that he quickly reported the situation to Yalan.
Just as he was talking? Linton also followed Sekedin to the scene of the incident. Sure enough, the scene was a tragedy. Linton saw obvious blood stains at the entrance, but he did not see a body. After asking about it, although the scene had been sealed off,
But it has not been moved? It is estimated that the body was moved by the person who robbed it before? The body was concentrated in the temple, which should delay the time of discovery.
Sure enough, after entering the room, Linton directly saw a room of corpses. There were at least thirty people, half of whom were guards, and the other half should be original personnel of the temple. And this wasn't all the people? I heard that there were still more people in the room over there.
There are quite a few.
The city lord of Antorom City was also at the scene. Of course he also knew Linton? He guessed that Linton should be in charge of this matter and immediately came over to report the situation. There are more than fifty corpses found so far? In view of the other party
To be able to kill so many people in a short period of time without being discovered? The city lord thought that the attackers at least had a complete team? And they were also professionals.
Such a vicious incident? Of course the city lord immediately issued martial law and blocked the entire city. However, because it was discovered a little late and the other party looked very professional, the other party may have evacuated now. But now the city
The guards were still searching for this group of people from house to house.
"Lord Sword Master, look at this wound. I suspect that these people should have received formal military training and are not ordinary bandits." The city lord here is obviously also from the army. He seriously deduced that of course he can become one.
People in the position of city lord basically have to have achieved military exploits. It is estimated that it is difficult to achieve such a position of real power just by relying on the family's shadow.
Linton took a look and found that the people who died had basically had their throats cut with a knife, or stabbed in a vital position at once. They were indeed very professional. Although Linton himself had never joined the army, he could understand the city lord's inference.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Being able to kill so many people without triggering an alarm is indeed quite professional, but if you want to figure out the defense configuration here, you may need an internal agent..."
"Plop!" As soon as Linton finished speaking, Sekedin next to him knelt down and said, "Sir, I am not a spy."
Linton frowned, this guy must have knelt down too quickly, and he didn't mention you.
"Sir, I know that I am the only one left in the exhibition team now, which is indeed suspicious, but I am really not an inside agent. The reason I am not here is because I am a guest at Sir Sera's place. I overslept this morning..." Saikedin
said.
"Yes, sir, I hosted a banquet for Lord Sekding last night." The city lord next to him also answered, "I did drink a little too much. Lord Sekding spent the night at my house yesterday."
It turned out that the rest of the team responsible for the exhibition sent by Yalan had died, and only this Sekding was left. When Linton said that there was an insider, of course this guy immediately thought that Linton was talking about him. However,
To be honest, Linton felt that the courage shown by this guy did not seem like someone who could do this. Moreover, Linton was not actually here to catch the real culprit. It didn't matter what he was doing. He was looking for someone who understood the world.
Nuclear people.
"Okay, I didn't say it was you." Linton said, "The most important thing now is to investigate this matter quickly..."
Before he finished speaking, a soldier next to him rushed over very urgently: "Lord City Lord, we have found out the situation."
"Speak quickly!" City Lord Serra said immediately. Of course he was also very anxious. Of course he was responsible for such a vicious incident under his rule. Now he wanted to find out this matter quickly, otherwise
I may have to come to an end as the city lord.
"According to the staff report of the teleportation array, they encountered a very strange mercenary team this morning. There were more than ten people in this mercenary team, and they all chose to use the teleportation array. What's even more strange is that they
They actually chose five different cities for transmission, and the staff said that some of them carried several boxes." Guard Report reported.
"It must be them." City Lord Serra immediately said, "If the time matches up, it's so suspicious, it must be them."
What Sera said is suspicious is obvious. It is not just a problem with the box, but a problem with the use of the teleportation array. You must know that the teleportation array is not free, and the fees are very expensive. It is not that the mercenaries cannot afford it, but
If more than a dozen people use it together, the price is too high. Generally, if there are so many people, it is obviously more suitable for the mercenary team to choose to go directly by land. What's more, they are actually scattered to five cities, which makes their tracking more difficult.
?
Hearing this, Linton was overjoyed. Yes, Linton could easily understand the purpose of this group of people. He was happy that the other party was separated. Because according to the report, these people were in groups of two or three, each holding a suspected
The treasure boxes went to different cities. Since they are separated, it means that the other party actually does not want all of these treasures, but one of the treasures. The other routes are all suspects. The thing they want most should be
One of them was responsible for sending it there, which... just met Linton's expectations.
It was obvious that Linton felt that what the other party wanted was the core of the world, so it seemed that he might have found the right thing.
"Hurry up and contact the city lords of those cities to help track down the situation of these people." The city lord here, Sera, said.
"Yes, sir." The soldiers here received the order and went down immediately.
"Even if they go to those cities, the other party is likely to have moved. After all, since they retreated through the teleportation array, they can still continue to use it." Linton said, "These people are so well prepared, I guess
I didn’t just keep an eye on you in the past two days.”
"Sir Sword Master, please rest assured, I will definitely try my best to search for them." Of course, the city lord Sera that Linton mentioned also knows about it, but as long as the teleportation array has been used, it will naturally be recorded, and he will know it wherever he goes.
In this way, there is no trace left.
"Her Majesty the Queen has asked me to take charge of this matter. You must assist me well," Linton said.
"Yes, sir." They both said at the same time. After all, Linton had no intention of direct accountability, which made them relax a little.
"Sir, there is news!" At this moment, another soldier hurriedly ran over, "There is news from Monserrato City. Their teleportation array has passed three very
Suspicious people, the city guard over there noticed something was wrong with them. While investigating, these three people suddenly launched an attack, killed several city guards, and then fled. The city has been sealed off and is in progress.
Chase these three people, and these three people passed by our side before, the Lord of Monserrato City sent someone to our side to inquire about the situation."
"It must be those guys." Serra said immediately after hearing this. "Immediately tell the Lord of Monserrato City about our situation and ask him to help us catch these three people as soon as possible."
"Yes." The soldier said immediately.
"Sir, we have a clue." Sera said, "As long as we catch a team, we can follow the clues and catch them."
"It's a bit easy to be exposed." Linton suddenly touched his chin and said.
