Regarding The Secret of the Rapier, Quins was more interested in broadening his horizons and making money from someone at the same time, so after reading it once, Quins sealed The Secret of the Rapier.
Quins calmed down and began to sort out what he had to do recently.
The first thing to do is to advance to the professional level. Through today's trip to the Earl's Mansion, Quins felt more and more that there was a turbulent undercurrent surging in Teague City. Therefore, he put the emphasis on learning "Anders' Complete Collection of Multiverse Witchcraft".
The knowledge of "Editor" was placed in the second place. His strength was still too weak at the apprentice level, and learning other apprentice-level witchcraft was directly skipped by Quines. Not to mention that the 0-level witchcraft was not very powerful.
And it takes a lot of time. But if it is the other way around, and advanced professionals review and learn 0-level witchcraft in a top-down way, the difficulty will be greatly reduced, and the time spent will also be reduced a lot. This
For Quins, who is already tight on time, this is a good idea.
Ranked in the third sequence is to fill some gaps in the psychic crystals. There is only one piece of psychic land in the Witching Garden with level 1 flame vines planted by Quines. There are still three pieces of psychic land left empty. Quines
It is impossible to waste resources in vain. Even planting ordinary level 0 mysterious plants will have many benefits for him.
After clearing his mind, Quins withdrew from the psychic crystal and began to make the secret sword of the sword that he would sell to Thousand Faces at midnight tomorrow.
Not long after Quins finished transcribing and making the secret book, the shotgun finally returned.
"The mission has been fulfilled." Quins solemnly handed the three confidential letters to Shotgun. At this time, Shotgun's clothes were shabby, with cuts all over his body, and a little blood seeping out: "How are your injuries?"
"It doesn't matter," Shotgun took the secret letter and said nonchalantly: "That snake didn't get much benefit either. Since you haven't slept, don't sleep tonight. I've already woken up Schmidt, and so have you.
Get up and listen."
Quins looked slightly stunned. He didn't expect the shotgun to be so vigorous when working. It was completely different from his usual behavior. Quins nodded, and followed the shotgun directly into the front hall. As expected, Quins entered the front hall.
At a glance, Si saw old Schmidt wearing an old pajamas and smoking a pipe.
"Schmidt, smoking late at night is not good for your health." As soon as Shotgun sat down on the chair, his body instantly slumped down and he lost his balance.
Old Schmidt knocked on his pipe and said, "You woke me up so late. How can I be energetic if I don't take a puff of cigarettes?"
Shotgun sighed. He didn't even bother to remember how many times he had told Old Schmidt about smoking: "Anyway, you just have to know what's going on. No, this is the secret letter I got from the Earl's Mansion. Take a look.
Bar."
With that said, Shotgun handed the three secret letters to Shotgun.
"Not bad, you can steal the secret letters from the Earl's Palace. It seems that you have made some progress during the days you went to the headquarters." Old Schmidt put down the pipe in his hand and took three secret letters.
10 minutes later.
Old Schmidt's eyes lingered on the three secret letters for a long time. It did not take him much time to read the secret letters, but Old Schmidt spent more time thinking, and the hall was silent for a while.
.
"Old Schmidt, what exactly is written on this? Say something." Shotgun couldn't help it.
"Tig City is going to be in chaos again." Old Schmidt's voice was hoarse.
"Chaos?!" Shotgun seemed to have expected this answer, "Yes, it's time for chaos. On the way back, we met the snake girl Gu Lisi." There was something unfinished in Shotgun's words, but the old man
Schmidt and Quins immediately guessed that the Snake Girl might be related to the Earl's Palace. Quins already knew the answer, while Schmidt relied solely on his many years of experience.
and intuition.
Old Schmidt: "There is a secret letter in it that mentions something."
Shotgun: "What's going on?"
Old Schmidt: "In half a month, something will appear in Tiguet City."
Shotgun: "Half a month later?" Shotgun's tone rose a little.
Old Schmidt nodded and affirmed: "Yes, in half a month."
Shotgun asked: "Do you know what it is?"
"It was not mentioned in the secret letter."
"Half a month later, what happened?" At this time, Quins said aloud. When Shotgun asked for half a month, he heard something strange in Shotgun's language.
Old Schmidt glanced at Shotgun and motioned for Shotgun to answer.
Shotgun looked strange and said: "In half a month, the royal family's three-year royal tour will begin, and the first stop will be Tigue City."
"Tig City?!" Quins murmured: "Is Tigue City the first stop of every royal tour?"
Shotgun shook his head and explained: "The royal tour is to demonstrate the majesty of the royal family and to connect with the feelings of various nobles, so the stops of each tour are different, and they are at an absolute level of confidentiality. From the preparation of the tour half a year ago, to a month
The royal family will notify the Investigation Division to make advance preparations before the tour, and the Royal Secret Guards will cooperate with our Investigation Division half a month before the tour. The Investigation Division will mainly cooperate with the Secret Guards to carry out security work, eliminate hidden dangers of instability, etc.
"
Quins nodded: "In other words, if there is an internal agent in the secret guard, the information about the first stop of the royal tour can be known in advance."
Old Schmidt continued: "It is possible, but the choice of the first stop is not decided in advance. It is usually selected by the royal members on each tour, and only a few royal members know this information. This time
The representative sent by the royal family is the third princess, Her Highness Nini. According to the news from the headquarters, it was Her Highness Nini’s decision two days ago to designate Tige City as the first stop of the tour. And the confidential letter in my hand is three
A month ago." Old Schmidt raised the secret letter in his hand and said.
Quins: "Three months ago!"
Shotgun: "Your Highness Nini! Is that the genius of the royal family, Your Highness Nini?"
Old Schmidt glared at Shotgun, then turned to Quins and said, "It was three months ago, so the possibility you mentioned can basically be ruled out."
"Can you inform the royal family to choose another stop?" Quins said.
Old Schmidt shook his head: "No, in fact, because of the vacancy in the investigation department, Tiguet Headquarters has already asked His Highness Nini to reconsider the choice of the first stop after His Highness Nini made the decision, but it was rejected, and..."
Old Schmidt looked strange and said: "The words are extremely firm."
Quince and Shotgun looked at each other, and both smelled something strange inside.
"Is that thing related to the royal tour?" According to this logical reasoning, Quines could easily come to this result.
Old Schmidt did not answer directly: "Whether it is related or not, we have to report this matter as soon as possible."
"But what happened to the secret letter from the Earl's Palace? Even if it has nothing to do with the royal tour, the timing is too coincidental." Quines asked, he absolutely did not believe this coincidence.
Shotgun chuckled: "Boy, your knowledge is too little. Haven't you ever heard of prophecy? For example, the Time-Eating Krait of the Mother of Snakes Church."
"Eating krait?" Quins was stunned.
"The Eating Time Krait is a training direction of the Snake Girl's secret tradition," Old Schmidt said: "It is said that the Eating Time Krait imitates the original snake, the Endless Krait, which can swallow fragments of time and obtain the past.
Or future information can achieve a prophecy-like effect."
Quins was horrified, then he asked another question: "Since the time-eating krait can see fragments of the future, how could it not know who has that thing in its hands, and instead target Tigue City?"
Old Schmidt replied: "As far as I know, the time fragments swallowed by the Krait during the eating period are all random, so I don't know where the thing is specifically for this reason. However, if that thing is powerful to a certain extent,
, whether it is prophecy or peeking into time, it will be distorted and even unpredictable."
"So, Schmidt, you are more inclined to think that that thing is already powerful to a certain extent." Shotgun said thoughtfully.
Old Schmidt said with profound meaning: "Everyone in the world pursues power."
The two were silent, and Old Schmidt's attitude was obvious. At this time, Quins had another doubt in his mind. How could Old Schmidt know so much about the secrets of the Snake Woman? His explanation was like a snake.
This is how female secrets should be. For the first time, Quins became curious about the identity of old Schmidt.
After a while, Quins asked: "Where are the other two secret letters?"
Schmidt Sr.: "There is a secret letter about the May strike three months ago."
"What, is there really someone behind the scenes pushing it?" After hearing the news, Shotgun looked extremely excited: "And it's still the Earl's Mansion."
Old Schmidt nodded solemnly: "The Earl's Palace had already planned it, and even the general strike may be closely related to the first secret letter."
Shotgun gritted his teeth and said, "It's probably to clear away the forces that may hinder their future actions in Tigue City in advance."
Old Schmidt: "This is the most likely possibility at present, but it is impossible for the Earl's Palace alone to be able to achieve that level. My guess is that this is the product of the joint efforts of many parties."
"Multiple parties join forces?" Quins was moved in his mind and asked: "Could it be that there are other forces interested in the thing mentioned in the secret letter?"
Schmidt Sr.: "This is the only reason I can think of at the moment."
Quins was silent. If it weren't for that thing, wouldn't the other forces be so full that they would provoke the investigation department of Tige City, the local snake?
Old Schmidt glanced at Quines: "This is just our guess, but it was the last secret letter, which mentioned the Kentina Orphanage."
"What? Kentina Orphanage?" Quins never expected to hear the word Kentina Orphanage here.
"Yes, it is the orphanage where you were born. It was a secret letter sent by the Viper Gang to the Earl's Palace, briefly reporting the progress of the conspiracy to seize the orphanage."
Is there something wrong here? How could the Kentina Orphanage be involved in the Earl's Mansion? No, it should be the Church of the Mother of All Snakes. Should we tell old Schmidt that the Earl's Mansion is a snake den? At this moment,
Quins seriously thought about this issue for the first time.
