The calming magic has a certain analgesic effect and can keep people's minds clear, so Gallo's subsequent interrogation process went smoothly.
The young mage told everything he knew:
He met the guy in a high-class bar called "The Thorned Rose". The guy was elegant and mysterious, warm and friendly, generous and generous, and looked like a standard outstanding nobleman.
When the two were chatting, the other party called himself Mr. Murphy and revealed that he was an intelligence broker. Whether it was spying on information, stealing secrets, or tracking, they were all within the scope of his business. He also had good professionalism and handled things neatly, but
The asking price is twice as high as its peers.
The two collaborated several times and got along well.
Mr. Murphy demonstrated his unique skills in this process. He claimed to be a superb hypnotist, which allowed some passers-by to help him complete the intelligence work without knowing it, and he did not notice anything afterwards.
secret.
Then, there are the things related to Gallo.
"Very good. It seems that you do have the idea of changing yourself. This is very good. Keep up the good work!"
Gallo put away the lie detector bell in his hand, and after confirming that the other party was not lying, he patted the other party on the shoulder and stood up.
The other party not only provided the location where Mr. Murphy appeared, but also described the man's appearance in detail, so it is enough to know this. Next, just trouble the old bishop.
The young mage couldn't help but feel happy. This skullcrusher actually let him go?
Are you infected by your sincerity?
Or are you intimidated by your family background?
But no matter what, as long as I can escape this disaster, I can let this villain and that Gallo taste the anger of the Enleth family together!
In order to survive and then take revenge, he endured the pain, put a twisted smile on his face, and said with extra sincerity:
"Thank you, thank you for giving me a chance to change my ways. I will definitely be a good person in the future!"
"Well, come on!"
Gallo encouraged him, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.
The next second, the young mage felt an overwhelming force coming towards him.
In front of that power, he was like a tiny ant looking up at the mountains, as small as dust.
This made him involuntarily feel fear and awe in his heart. Regardless of the injuries to his legs, he also forgot about the idea of revenge and involuntarily wanted to kneel down and repent.
But before he could kneel down, the terrifying force crushed him directly...
Even if he did have the idea of sincere repentance in his heart, his fragile brain could not bear the huge power. After a muffled 'bang', it shattered into a mess of blood and flesh.
Gallo also regrets this:
"Oh... it's such a pity. It's obviously just a little bit worse. If you just work a little harder, you can become a good person..."
After saying that, he suddenly slapped his thigh again and exclaimed:
"Suffer it!"
"I should ask more about his family!"
"Oh, forget it, let's trouble the old bishop again..."
Gallo said, originally planning to release the holy flames to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces.
He no longer needs to earn Captain Undine's 10 silver coins, and since he is too busy, there is no need to leave any traces.
But he thought about it again and gave up the idea. In the end, he only destroyed the traces but not the corpse.
It's not that he wants to meet the captain again, but he intends to let people know that the Skullcrusher is back.
In this way, the gangsters in the city can be slightly shocked, telling them that the Skull Crusher has not been arrested yet and is still active.
Secondly, you can lure the people from the Duke family to come to you, and then you can follow the clues and eliminate them one by one.
He has already concluded in his heart that the Enlai family are all bad guys, and they will not be able to change their lives if they don't teach them.
Look at this mage, how cunning he is? I even walked in front of him, and instead of admitting his guilt, he even launched a counterattack!
His counterattack magic was really powerful. It was silent, fast and sharp, and almost penetrated the triangular shield!
It's really dangerous!
On the way back, Gallo was still thinking about the information from the torture.
The name Murphy is probably fake, and the other party is probably not a simple intelligence broker. He is definitely not using hypnosis, it is definitely a weird magical technique.
However, this kind of person actually shows up in public, openly enters and exits public places, and even shows off his magical skills to others without hesitation. He is not low-key at all.
How confident is he?
Gallo returned home with all kinds of doubts in his mind, washed his body briefly, lay down on the big bed, and began today's confession:
"I'm sorry, Lord Miya, I couldn't uproot the Enleth family tonight..."
"It must be that I'm not strong enough..."
"Weakness is a sin. I hope the goddess can forgive me."
After that, he didn't think much and fell asleep.
At breakfast the next day, Gallo and the old bishop mentioned what happened last night.
He didn't talk much about the process of rehabilitation, but focused on the weirdness of Mr. Murphy.
The old bishop thought for a moment and took out a map, flower petals, copper coins and other divination props from his arms, intending to do some divination.
After a round of divination with flower petals, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
He quickly grabbed another little milk cat that was still licking the goat's milk, placed it among several copper coins, and continued to mutter something in his mouth.
The little milk cat looked aggrieved, but its body moved left and right in a strange way, stepping on the copper coins with its furry little paws.
After a while, the old bishop came to a conclusion, put it back under the table, and said:
"The results of petal divination and milk cat divination are the same..."
"That person's name, appearance and occupation are all real..."
"ha?"
Even Gallo was dumbfounded now.
He was mentally prepared that all this information was false.
Are the results all true?
Now I understand why the old bishop looked in disbelief before.
The old bishop thought carefully again and speculated:
"This guy is probably not the fallen priest I am looking for. He has not even joined the sect and is an unbeliever."
"How can this be?!"
Gallo asked with a horrified look on his face.
He determined that the so-called hypnosis that could control others was a magical technique, and the breath and fluctuations could not fool him.
But the old bishop would not lie to him. This man was indeed an unbeliever.
How do unbelievers learn magical arts?
The old bishop did not continue the discussion with Gallo, but looked into the distance outside the window, seeming to be thinking about something.
He stared for a long time, and it wasn't until Gallo waved his hand in front of his eyes that he came back to his senses.
"Ahem, in short, this situation is really unexpected and beyond common sense..."
"It's best to catch that guy named Murphy..."
"I have divined his address."
Although Gallo agreed with the old bishop's statement, he couldn't help but said with some worry:
"But it's daytime now..."
The old bishop shook his head and said:
"It doesn't matter, I'll go this time."
"Captain Undine should be coming to you soon. You should deal with her first."
"But...this..."
Gallo still seemed hesitant to speak, but the old bishop quickly waved his hand and said:
"Okay, let's decide."
"Don't worry, I'm not that old yet."
In the end, Gallo could only nod helplessly, then blessed the old bishop with a lot of magical powers, and then asked the little donkey Amiya to accompany him.
"You must protect the old bishop!"
Before leaving, Gallo kept warning.
Amiya nodded, crossed her hands in front of her chest, and made an 'X' sign.
The old bishop was walking slowly in a donkey cart, writing a letter on his knee.
After writing the letter, he asked Amiya to take a detour to the Holy Light Church first, and asked the crusaders guarding the door to bring the letter to Bishop Yeck and pass it on to Artanis.
He arrived at the 'Rose with Thorns' bar around ten o'clock in the morning.
This is said to be a bar, but in fact it is more like a high-end club. It is also open in the morning and provides a place for rich people to have morning tea.
Although the old bishop was dressed a little plainly, he still received a very warm reception after giving the waiter a silver coin.
"This is Mr. Murphy."
The waiter led him to a table by the window, where an elegant middle-aged nobleman was sitting, reading today's newspaper.
After seeing the old bishop sitting down opposite him, Mr. Murphy put down the newspaper, lit a cigarette, pointed to the headline of the newspaper and said:
"The villain, the Skull Crusher, is really getting more and more rampant. He even dares to kill people from the Duke's family..."
"I really hope he can be brought to justice soon!"
"Okay, Lord Bishop, what can I do for you?"
"Tell him to come out to me."
The old bishop put one hand on the table and put the other in his pocket, and whispered.
"Feel sorry?"
"Tell him to come out to me!"
The old bishop raised his voice slightly and spoke word by word.
His voice seemed to contain some kind of magical power, making Mr. Murphy's eyes gradually become blurred.
But he quickly returned to normal, with a friendly smile on his face, he put out the cigarette in his hand, stood up, bowed slightly to the old bishop, and said very humbly:
"Long time no see, Teacher Yoro."
"It makes me very happy to see you in good health."
With that said, he sat back down, snapped his fingers, and called the waiter on the side.
"I need a serving of Canning's 'Angel Scent', a small glass of fresh milk, two sugar cubes from the Garden Mountains, and a small pot of boiling hot water."
"Okay Mr. Murphy, please wait a moment."
the waiter replied.
After the waiter left, 'Mr. Murphy' turned back, looked at the old bishop, and asked with a smile:
"Teacher, I should remember your favorite flavor correctly, right?"
The old bishop didn't say anything, just stared at him silently, as if he wanted to see through his soul.
The two looked at each other in silence until the waiter brought the things.
Angel's fragrance is a kind of tea with a very special taste. After brewing, it will have a mellow and bitter aroma similar to coffee, so it must be paired with fresh milk and sugar to adjust it to a suitable taste.
This troublesome drink is obviously not suitable for the common people, only people from the upper class will like it.
'Mr. Murphy' very patiently mixed the sugar cubes and fresh milk evenly, and then respectfully brought it to the old bishop with both hands.
The old bishop picked up the teacup with the hand on the table, lowered his head and took a sip. The serious expression on his face relaxed a little, but he remained silent.
"Would he do this for you?"
'Mr. Murphy' suddenly asked.
The old bishop shook his head and finally said:
"No, he is not as well-behaved as you."
The 'Mr. Murphy' opposite suddenly showed an expression of relief and gratification. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, outlining a slightly bitter smile. He raised his eyebrows again and reached out to touch the corners of his eyes, as if wiping away the impending tears.
Tears welled up in my eyes.
"So, I am still your most proud disciple, teacher?"
He asked again.
"No!"
The old bishop said coldly.
'Mr. Murphy' suddenly showed a nervous and awkward look, as if the teacher had criticized the student. His face was full of embarrassment and grievance, and he was twisting around on the sofa as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
After performing for a while, he relaxed again, moved his back closer to the sofa, struck a match, relit the cigarette in his hand, and took a long drag.
After blowing out a beautiful smoke ring, he continued to ask:
"His...name is Gallo, right?"
The old bishop did not answer.
‘Mr. Murphy’ continued:
"Damn! He is such a jealous guy!"
"Damn it! Gallo is such a nice name, it's really great!"
After saying "Damn it" twice, his face suddenly became distorted, and a sound like a beast's roar came out of his throat:
"But this name should have been mine!"
The old bishop was not frightened by the sudden appearance of Yan Yi. He calmly took a sip of tea, then pushed the tea cup aside with one hand and said very calmly:
"Stop your exaggerated performances. You should know that you can't fool me."
The expression on 'Mr. Murphy's' face immediately returned to normal, and he became the elegant gentleman in the eyes of others, and then he asked:
"Then can I also ask you to stop trying to divine me?"
"You should know, this doesn't work for me."
"After all, I am your most proud disciple, at least I used to be."
The old bishop took a deep breath and finally took out the hand he had kept in his pocket.
Broken petals were stuck between his fingers and it looked like he was bleeding.
"No matter what you are planning, don't come near the Innocence City!"
"Is this your warning?"
'Mr. Murphy' tilted his head slightly and asked with a playful smile on his face.
"No, this is advice."
The old bishop replied very seriously.
The other party's expression was slightly startled, then he laughed again and replied:
"Thank you for your advice, I will keep it in mind..."
"Nice to meet you, Teacher Yoro."
