Chapter 77 Is the great detective very ill-informed?
Ringer originally thought that the mysterious detective girl in front of him should be a member of the Thirteen Hermits. It is the only extraordinary force that currently knows about the existence of the witch association, and it seems to have been recruiting people to fight against the association. Although in this confrontation,
The Thirteen Hermits have always been at a disadvantage, but the fact that they have persisted so far is a great thing, and it also proves the strength of this organization from the side.
The Celestial Eater who caused the Blood Moon Incident in Linwell City sought the qualification to join the Thirteen Hermits. Gundaruff, who was already one of them, also invited Linge, but he refused. According to the Fear Witch
According to Feier herself, Solomon, the leader of the Thirteen Hermits, was once a philosopher of the Witches' Society, but now he is the biggest traitor. If Gloria has a relationship with the Thirteen Hermits, then she knows so much about the Witches' Society.
It’s not surprising that the secret information.
However, she actually denied it. Not only did she deny it, she also asked, "What is that?"
Ringer didn't know what to say for a moment, but from his reaction, the detective girl seemed to see something interesting, so she grinned: "Ah, the Thirteen Hermits? An organization I have never heard of.
And you mistook me for a member of that organization. Does this mean that they have a hostile relationship with the Witch Association and know their enemies very well? It’s really interesting. Maybe I should pay more attention to this organization in the future. Thank you for guiding me.
Here’s valuable information, Mr. Ringer.”
She took off the deerstalker hat on her head, bowed her head slightly to express her gratitude, her movements were precise, and it really looked like that.
Ringer replied dryly: "You're welcome."
Alice next to her couldn't help but burst into laughter again. While laughing, she said with gloating: "Are you exhausted, Ringer? I didn't expect you to have this day, hahaha!"
Enough, which side are you on?
Ringer glared at her, and the golden-haired maid immediately took a step back and put on a serious expression, "Are you going to get so angry if I poke a painful spot that you want to kill someone?" Although she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and tremble her eyebrows.
There is no hint of seriousness in it.
This guy is really...Linge has absolutely no idea about her.
Saint Xalia didn't pay attention to the interaction between the two companions. Her eyes always stayed on the detective lady, as if she was trying to observe something. Suddenly she spoke and said calmly: "If the information we brought is useful to you,
, This is a good thing, Miss Gloria. However, according to the principle of equivalent exchange, maybe you should also tell us the information you have and share it with us? I think mutual trust is the basis of cooperation, right?
?”
Gloria put on her hat again, straightened the thin bangs on her forehead, and smiled slightly: "Of course, I originally planned to do this, Miss Saint Xalia. But before that, I
Let me explain to you the source of the intelligence first, lest Mr. Ringer misunderstand me as a member of a certain organization again - in fact, I am really just a detective. In the land of old Lundu, it is difficult to find a place without rain.
If you look for one, you can catch a lot of talking detectives, so it’s not surprising.”
Ringer immediately replied: "I don't think ordinary detectives can grasp the information about the witch association."
Gloria blinked her big gray eyes: "Maybe it's because I, as a detective, am different and have unique channels and methods, so I can do things they can't do. For example... sneak into the witch association.
, disguised as one of their members, and found out some information that is unlikely to be made public, such as your existence. So, in fact, I started to follow you a long time ago. The first time I checked your files, it seems that I was in the Salia Fields.
That change that happened, right? The giant whale flying in the sky sounds really romantic~"
A fascinated expression appeared on Gloria's face, but Ringer and the others had no intention of agreeing. Instead, they were confused about the most crucial sentence in this paragraph.
Sneak into the witch association and pretend to be one of their members?
If this is the case, it can indeed explain the source of her intelligence. The question is, is it really as simple as she said? As a supernatural organization, the existence of the Witch Association is secretive enough. On the surface, it also has alliances with religious orders and various official identities.
It is already difficult for ordinary people to contact the mysterious world under the guise of disguise, let alone cross another layer of fog under the darkness and uncover the mystery behind history?
Moreover, even if you can accomplish the first step, that is, contact and infiltrate the witch association, it is not that easy to complete the second step. From the blood moon incident in Linwell City to the request to the gods in Nimscher City
rituals, and then to the annihilation war in Xugen Swamp...this series of actions secretly planned and implemented by the Witch Association. The confidentiality of its preparations in advance and the organization of wartime personnel dispatch all show that it has a strict internal structure and its members
A mature force with strict hierarchy and complete rules and regulations.
Peripheral members who are affiliated with the Union of Orders and know nothing about it, combatants who are affiliated with various operational departments such as the Night Watch or the Scales of Order, apostles who are elite members, philosophers who are core elements of the association, and witches and leaders who are leaders.
That mysterious leader... In this hierarchical personnel system, if you want to collect enough information, you must at least reach the level of an apostle. This detective girl who can tell there is something weird at a glance is really
Can it be done to this extent?
Ringer was not a good communicator, and there was no point in hiding his thoughts in this situation, so he pointed it out bluntly. After patiently listening to his questions, Gloria had a look on her face.
A subtle smile appeared. It was hard to tell whether it was confidence or a deeper meaning: "Of course I can understand Mr. Ringer's concerns, but as I said, I am a different person."
As a detective, I have unique channels and means, and I am naturally capable of doing things that are absolutely impossible in the eyes of outsiders. Please don’t confuse me with my colleagues who only follow and illegally break into houses, okay?”
After that, the detective lady calmly blew a breath from the pipe, and her assistant Mr. Peanut jumped out, spun around in mid-air a few times and then fell back down, as if to express his agreement: "Look, Mr. Peanut does the same."
If you think so, even if you can’t believe me, you should at least believe it, right?”
Why should I trust a peanut? Also, what makes you think that your credibility is not as good as a peanut? Is it Alice?
Ringer wanted to complain, but finally held back and said with a straight face: "Then let us listen to the information you want to share."
The young man thought he already had a certain understanding of the witch association. If she was making things up, he would know it as soon as he heard it.
"Okay, then listen carefully. This is the information that I have worked hard and almost risked my life to find out." The girl described this process as very dangerous, which Ringer did not deny.
, if she really infiltrated that dangerous organization and pretended to be one of their members for a period of time, the danger of the process would only be a thousand times more serious than what she described.
"Ahem."
After Gloria put down the coffee in her hand, she pretended to clear her throat first, and then said seriously: "First of all, the first piece of information is about the level of personnel within the Witches' Association. As far as I know, the total number of official association members is
It is divided into four levels, namely ordinary members, apostles, philosophers and the highest level of witches. It is said that there is a mysterious leader among the witches, but the information about her is confidential and only a few people know it. The identity I pretended to be is only at the apostle level.
, are not allowed to access high-confidential information files. What about, is this information valuable?"
"..."
Lin Ge and the two companions beside him looked at each other and were silent for a long time before speaking: "We already know this."
"Ah? Ahem, no, it doesn't matter. This information is just an appetizer. I have a lot of similar information. For example, the following information will definitely shock your worldview: there are actually many philosopher-level members in the Witches' Association.
They all correspond to famous people in history, such as Galileo, Dante and others during the Renaissance, Marshal Napoleon during the Hundred Years' War, Joan of Arc and the Red-bearded King Barbarossa. They were all members of the Witches' Society.
.If this information is made public, it will definitely cause a huge shock in the historians, right?"
"I don't deny this." Lin Ge said with a subtle expression, "But we also know this information."
I even know more than you do. For example, the names of these philosophers all come from another world, the planet called Earth.
The corner of Gloria's mouth twitched: "This... I didn't expect you to know quite a lot, but it's not a big problem. The following information will always satisfy you: the largest religious organization in the Western Continent is also the largest religious organization in the Western Continent.
The Federation of Orders, which has profound influence in various fields such as politics, culture, economy and military, and even single-handedly promoted the colonial war, has been deeply penetrated by the Witches' Association. It is even possible that this organization is actually the Witches' Association.
The disguise they have established is the shell through which they operate in the outside world. In other words, all members and believers of the United Order are actually equivalent to members of the Witches' Association, but most people don't know it. How about this?
Is the information finally worth the money? Well, why are you all looking at me like this? Could it be that..."
The silence of the three guests made Miss Gloria a little flustered and she lost her previous calmness and calmness.
Alice looked at the gray-haired girl opposite with sympathy, and then said something with unclear meaning: "Just for calling everyone out on this matter, Nobita's information is really ill-informed."
If it had been before, this information might have surprised them; but on the way here, Ringer had already shared his guess. In other words, the information shared by Miss Gloria was still out of date, and
Outdated information is not as important as Alice's game save.
"..."
The great detective sitting opposite fell into silence for a long time.
