Chapter 81 Boxing Gloves (asking for monthly votes in the last half day)
It's not Roen's army..." Anthony Reed muttered to himself with blank eyes.
He had dreamed about it many times on the night of the attack. Under repeated self-psychological suggestions, the ferocity and ferocity of the Loen soldiers became clearer and more impressive each time, and gradually evolved into a nightmare that he could not get rid of.
Nightmare, who knew, today, someone told him that it was not a Loen soldier!
And he judged from the subtle expressions, body language and emotional state that Franka did not lie or deceive him!
This made him feel like a joke. He had been suffering for so many years but he couldn't even get the identity of the murderer wrong.<
As a "psychiatrist", Anthony Reed keenly felt that he had a sense of disillusionment, his mood became unstable, and he suffered a strong impact.

He instinctively uses "appeasement" on himself.
When Anthony Reed was trying to "save himself," Franka further explained:
"Either the confidentiality level of that battle is very high, and my Loen friend has not been able to contact you for the time being, or there is someone else who attacked you."
Franka was more inclined to the latter possibility. After all, for the Loen Kingdom, it was just a small battle that wiped out a company. Anthony's comrades did not have important figures with enough weight, so there was no need to set a confidentiality level.
"Who could it be?" Janna had already asked this question after seeing the contents of the telegram, but neither Franka nor she could think of a reasonable answer for the moment.
She even speculated whether some "instigator" deliberately provoked internal strife in the Intis army in order to digest the potion, and had one of them pretend to be Loen people and attack Anthony Reed and his comrades at night.
But the difficulty is too high. No matter how powerful the "instigator" is, there is no hope of success, unless Anthony Reed's company discovers evidence of serious crimes committed by some people, or because of disputes on the battlefield, they have conflicts with other armies.
A deep hatred was formed.
"Yeah, who could it be..." Anthony Reed, who had calmed down after "soothing" himself, repeated in a deep voice.
He could completely understand that the Loen army attacked him and his comrades. Although there was hatred, it was not excessive. After all, it was very normal for the two countries to be at war. But why were they attacking other people from another force?
Franka thought about it and said
"Has your company ever abandoned friendly forces on the battlefield, or taken loot that it shouldn't have?"
Anthony Reed thought about it for a moment and shook his head firmly: "No."
"Definitely not." Lumian added in a very firm tone, "Huge Artois was involved in this matter. It is obviously not an external conflict caused by friendly forces."
"Have you ever disobeyed Goge Artois's orders, or caused him to lose anything?" Jenna thought for a moment and asked.
Anthony Reed shook his head again: "If there was, I wouldn't have been confused for so many years."
Apartment 601 suddenly became quiet. Lumian remembered something that Ms. Magician mentioned in her last reply and said thoughtfully:

"Could that be a sacrificial ceremony? A blood sacrifice to a certain evil god."
Ms. "Magician" mentioned that the "Sinners", a secret organization that believed in evil gods, probably appeared in the later stages of that war. The reason was that the war gave the evil gods more opportunities to penetrate into the world. Anthony Reed and Could what happened to his comrades be incidental to one of these opportunities?
"Blood sacrifice..." Franka and Jenna simultaneously remembered that Hugues Artois had the support of multiple evil god forces.
During the war a few years ago, he began to collude with the followers of the evil god and sacrificed a company to which he belonged?
Anthony Reed was silent for a moment and said:
"The followers of the evil god disguised themselves as the Loen army and massacred us with the cooperation of Hugo Artois?"
"This is the most reasonable explanation at present." Franca said quickly, "But who is the beneficiary? It is definitely not Hugues Artois. He has not accepted the gift until his death."
For a moment, no one could answer Franka's question.
After a few seconds, Lumian said: "This is one of the directions that need to be investigated in the future. This is probably related to the support that Hugues Artois received to become a member of Congress."
After hearing this, Jian Na told the information she had obtained from the "Purifier" exactly, and finally said:
"The problem now is that General Philip, the most suspected suspect, is dead, and all the clues leading to him have been disconnected."
"What a timely death." Franka said with a "haha" smile, "Was it cleared in advance?"
Lumian touched his chin and said slowly: "In the world of occultism, certain deaths do not mean true death."
Ms. "Justice" mentioned that there is a sequence of "dead" in the evil god's gift, and they can use death to escape from their original destiny.
Similarly, if General Philip used the "substitution technique", the person who died might not be the real him.

Franca, who had cooperated with Guillaume Benet, understood immediately: "The art of substitution'?"
"We can't rule out this possibility." Lumian laughed, "Next, our goal is to investigate General Philip and confirm his death. Even if he is really dead, there may be certain clues left behind, but' purify
The researchers were unable to discover it due to restrictions."
Seeing that his partners discussed the direction of action in a few words, Anthony Reed, who had been overturned from his original understanding and had not yet fully recovered, felt that he was also infected, which gave him a little more confidence.
He nodded slightly and said:
"Don't be too anxious. This matter must be very complicated. I will first conduct preliminary intelligence collection on General Philip and his family and friends."
After Anthony Reed left, Lumian saw that Franka was going to Fountain Street to find Gardner Martin again, so he walked out of Apartment 601 with her.
While going down the stairs, he briefly mentioned the content of his communication with "Hela".
The more Franka listened, the more excited she became: "Okay, okay, you will soon become a Muggle, and let's go to see 'April Fool's Day' together!"
"You're here, what do you expect?" Lumian glanced at this guy.
Franca clicked her tongue and said with a smile:
"There is a saying in my hometown that if you get caught in the rain, you have to tear off other people's umbrellas. Haha, I'm kidding, but don't you think this is a very interesting thing? Although your appearance is a bit tough
, but it can become very beautiful with just simple adjustments. After the 'Arsonist' potion is digested, do you really not consider getting a bottle of 'Happiness'? Hey, forget it, it's not until the Sequence 4 transformation path.
There is still a certain risk of losing control.”
After laughing and joking for a while, Franka, who came to the street, suppressed her smile and said seriously:
"Moreover, you are one of the few people I can trust now. If I can get your direct cooperation in investigating the 'April Fool's Day' issue, I will feel a lot more at ease. It's a pity..."
"What a pity..." Lumian was also very sorry.

He turned to ask about Emperor Russell and expressed his confusion about the attitude of the members of the "Curly Baboon Research Society".
Franka's expression suddenly became weird, as if she was trying her best not to laugh.
After a while, she breathed out and said:
"This matter is quite complicated. I can't explain it in a few words. I will explain it in detail tomorrow or the day after tomorrow when I have free time. In short, you should be mentally prepared."
"How complicated can it be?" Lumian muttered, said goodbye to Franka, and walked towards the chaotic street.
After returning to Room 207 of the Golden Rooster Hotel, although he had already discovered the problem with Aurore's witchcraft notes and no longer needed to study them, he still habitually pulled out the copy paper and looked at it with divergent thinking.
When it was almost early in the morning, Lumian felt relieved and looked up at the top of the carbide lamp.
The light there was tinged with a faint blue.
The "doll" messenger wearing a light golden skirt suddenly appeared, looking at Lumian coldly, as if trying to endure some emotion.
With two snaps, she threw a pair of iron-black gloves with multiple spikes onto the table. The sound of the collision was closer to wood versus wood than wood versus metal.
At the same time, a piece of paper folded into a square floated towards Lumian.
"Thank you." Although the "doll" messenger quickly disappeared without any intention of communicating, Lumian still politely thanked him.
He did not touch the pair of gloves for the time being, unfolded the paper, and read the letter from Ms. "Magician":
The extraordinary properties of ‘Shadow Branch’ and ‘Lucky One’ have been made into magical items.
"How about it? Did you completely change its appearance to make it easier to carry? This is a masterpiece.

"It hasn't been named yet. It can be called 'Lucky Shadow Gloves' in a more popular way, or 'Torture' in a more stylish way. You can also choose it yourself.
"Any target hit by it, regardless of whether it is injured or not, or blocked with a weapon, will be stimulated with a desire or emotion. As for which one, it originally depends on your luck, but after you have the 'lucky one',
You can simulate or imagine the corresponding desires and emotions in advance to make the target react the way you want to see. The success rate is very high, about 70 to 80 percent.
"After the target is stimulated with a desire or emotion, when you hit him for the second time, there will be no new desires or emotions, but there will be a chance for the previous desire or emotion to explode, which is very important for most targets.
The huge waves that are generally unbearable will put a huge burden on their bodies, causing them serious injuries and even causing them to temporarily lose their ability to resist.
"The probability of triggering desire or emotion in each hit is not high, but if you punch the target a few more times, it will always be triggered, unless you are added with bad luck, which offsets the 'lucky person' trait.
"The most powerful thing about this pair of gloves is not its attack ability, but its defense. It is very strong and can withstand a strike from the 'Reaper' without being damaged (Note: 'Reaper' is sequence 5 of the 'Hunter' path
), of course, the premise is that the blow happens to hit the glove. In this case, it may even use its own fragmentation or fracture to help you block the divine blow, which is probably at the level of Sequence 4.
"Its negative effect is that when you wear it, your self-control will decrease, and various desires and emotional fluctuations will become stronger. It requires excellent endurance to fight against it. When you wear it, because it comes from the 'Tree of Shadows'
', you will be watched by the other party from some hidden existences. Although they cannot really hurt you due to various reasons, they can drive some dangerous creatures to come next to you, exert influence on you or activate
attack.
"So, each time you use this pair of gloves, you can't use them for too long. If you use them up, move to another location immediately. If you fail to do these two things, you will be targeted by hidden dangers. Remember to maintain a good condition. As long as you
If you can block one or two blows, those dangerous creatures that can't really come will be rejected by the world and exiled back.
