Time advances to ten days before the Tea Festival, which is the 23rd day of July. The general calendar characteristics are the same as those of the earth, which shows the deep influence of the witch.
Before this period of time, Gwen's daily life was dealing with strange incidents.
Stop by and greet the detectives in each area, and get some information from them about the death of the government's special agent.
And track this matter every day.
Occasionally, this matter is discussed when encountering Dragon Flame in the Explorers Association.
The misunderstanding was barely resolved.
Because of motivation issues.
Long Yan does have feasibility, but he has no motive, because killing the special agent will bring him no benefit at all.
He talked openly and honestly with Gwen:
"The conflict between me and the authorities is getting deeper and deeper because I have chosen the best development path for Laoxiangrenhao and Laoxiangren to Return to Home Line, which is to introduce a large number of religious group resources, so that Laoxiangrenhao has built three rows of greenhouses.
The trains are used to cultivate those plants and flowers. Our income is getting higher and higher, and the number of fellow villagers is getting better and better."
"But, after all, the authorities are our nominal leading government, and they are also our biggest customers. I would only attack the authorities' commissioners when I went crazy. In fact, even at that time, I was not that suspicious of you, but I was quite certain.
The idea of driving you out of the Fellowship is because you are a mind flayer and you are too dangerous."
When Long Yan said "You are too dangerous", Gwen thought of the first Hokage saying "You are too dangerous" to Kyuubi.
I almost laughed.
With Sukka's Dragon Flame, it won't be a problem for you to hit me and add grids all by yourself (the current state of the grid).
"I have no motive at all, and neither do you. If you insist on saying so, Curse Blade may have it. But her motive is just 'madness', which is untenable."
This can be regarded as barely resolving the small conflict between the two.
Although no one took it seriously.
As for Long Yan, he probably thought that Gwen should have a special motive for taking action. And Gwen? Hey, what a coincidence! He also thought that Long Yan had a special motive for taking action.
But ordinary methods can no longer get the answer, which forces the two people to start constant contact and try to find the answer from each other.
This has been a long-standing struggle.
On the tenth to last day of the Tea Festival, which is about to come.
The number ten seems to have an unsolved fate with Utopia, and something will always happen on this day.
It's raining today.
In the afternoon, after having a wonderful lunch, Gwen slowly went to Dragon Flame Castle. The main purpose was to help Curse Blade promote the secret reconnaissance branch of the Sniper Heart Cat. Holding the dragon's horn and talking to the dragon
He successfully became the idol in the eyes of Mu Qiang's Utopia people. Dragon in Utopia means pure power.
When he walked into Longyan Castle, he unexpectedly received many appraising looks.
Since providing 'computing power' to the Witch Lord, he has shared one of the Lord's passive skills, 'charm value improvement'. This does not refer to a simple improvement in appearance, but also an improvement in temperament and characteristics. This kind of confidence
, the temperament and aura can even be fed back to the source of power, making the source of power stronger. Of course, the appearance is more beautiful than before, but considering that it is very useful in the source of power, Gwen will always have this ability.
Already.
"Um?"
Perhaps because he was accustomed to looking at the eyes, Gwen actually took half a second to sense a 'non-curious' gaze. He frowned and searched the surroundings. The dragon's tail also lightly swept the ground and sprinkled some source.
force factor.
His eyes were naturally attracted to several people nearby.
According to his impression, these people had never appeared here before - upon seeing this, he felt a little more relieved and removed his source of surveillance.
"...They are strangers. It seems that there are some good players. Could it be that they came to join Longyan? That would be too unpleasant."
Gwen murmured in her heart, and at the same time restrained her source of power perception to avoid being misjudged by the other party's purpose and causing a conflict, which would be bad.
…
In Longyan Castle, the special team is queuing up to wait for the weapon test results.
They are a joint force from the Judu-level Abandoned Capital and the Lost Capital, nicknamed the 'King Capital'. They are all the best among the elite. All members are source power envoys, not quick secret practitioners.
Although the team members are not very familiar with each other, after all, they were temporarily transferred, the superiors also know that when conducting activities in Longyan's territory, one must be cautious.
Temporary squad leader Smirnov still remembers what his superiors said when he was asked to lead the squad:
"Fellowman, it's a good place. If you throw a brick on the street, you may violate some weird taboo. If you speak louder in any place, you will violate the taboo even if you don't point out. So you need to be careful.
Be cautious, although you elites are not afraid of ordinary ghost stories, but I don’t want any casualties."
A good place? Bah, what kind of good place can allow a ghost talker to walk on the road openly and be a driver?
Smirnov only felt cold all over. In other places in Utopia, people are hiding from strange stories. In the Fellowship? People are foreign goods, right?
He looked at his team members.
He noticed that one of the women with black hair and blue eyes, wearing rustic clothes, was curiously withdrawing her power to explore. He quickly whispered:
"Morty, don't do unnecessary things."
At this time, he had to complain to his boss again. Although the Abandoned Capital and the Royal Capital had recently united, this was not the reason why a team had to assign elites from several jurisdictions. Many times, the reason why the elites were
Elites are because their teammates have formed a tacit understanding. Elites are all poor, and teammates are the key. Why bring in some people who have no tacit understanding at all?
Morty, a woman with black hair and blue eyes, nodded silently with a timid expression: "I understand."
People around him are very accustomed to it. Although he doesn't spend much time with Morty, this woman with a somewhat rustic appearance and a timid personality is quite capable.
But at this time, Morty's heart was in turmoil.
——"Sokka, how come the Mind Flayer has become so much stronger than before?"
Morty's eyes swept over the face of the 'familiar' Mind Flayer, and then observed the diagonal horns and the dragon's tail. He cried out in his heart for the unfairness of this world, 'Are the people of Dragon Utopia so fierce?
', but I'm sorry, Morty doesn't know.
Before the current world developed the fairy type and the 'ice dragon-killing type', the dragon type had such amazing all-around attributes.
And her real name is not 'Morty'.
The person under the mask is named "Liki".
Li Qi returns to the hometown.
Its fundamental purpose is related to the mind flayer.
She found that she was a bit unlucky. After half of the secret book in her hand was torn off, she found that the 'manipulable' half was gone, leaving only the remaining half as computing memory.
It can be said to be a mildew among mildews.
after.
Do not know why.
Some terrible news came.
That is, 'Liqi is a car commander-level criminal. She has been lurking in Dragon Castle for a long time and has stolen countless academic essence and wealth.'
God knows how devastated Li Qi was when she read this headline in the newspaper.
"I stole so much?"
"I have so many treasures in Sokka?"
"I saw Sukka's secret book "The Secret of Fog, Sea and Wind" in Professor XXX's room. He said he was just borrowing it, but now he couldn't help but let this secret book be 'taken away'?
"
Li Qi, after all, people are stupid.
Especially when I later found myself being hunted by more and more hunters...
After escaping a pursuit by a train commander, Li Qi clearly understood that "I will be caught one day if this continues," so she decided to remain anonymous and try again. And Li Qi was indeed brave and careful.
After much thought, I actually chose to forge an identity above the Judu level, and didn't even change my face. I just dyed my original hair color from the blond hair that I had become after practicing the "Secret Code of the Sun" to black hair.
Then she changed her original more flamboyant hairstyle into a more rustic black hair braid hanging down her chest.
Paired with a pair of rustic black-rimmed glasses.
He even painfully erased the rune tattoos on his body with a special erasing liquid formed by a spell.
Now I... am in a completely transformed state!
Li Qi is full of confidence.
Utopians are somewhat face-blind to begin with, and some people even use their hair color to identify others, so their disguises are perfect...
At this time, Li Qi suddenly saw the Mind Flayer walking towards this side with a suspicious look on his face.
All of a sudden...
Cardiopulmonary arrest…
…
Arrive at the core of fellow rule, Longyan Castle!
It's so gorgeous, Dragon Flame Castle.
Oops, isn’t this Lizzie?
Take another look...
Um?
Gwen originally wanted to see the statue of Long Yan. She wanted to see if the sculptor of the statue of Long Yan was Xiao Heizi, who reduced the height of the statue by half a centimeter. But... I am super, Li Qi?
The most vicious traitor to Yuanli in the entire Utopia actually came aboard the Fellowship?
He looked at Li Qi with a wary expression and walked over slowly.
But my heart began to whisper again:
They look really alike, no, I should say that the facial features and eyebrows are exactly the same, but the temperament is very different. Am I mistaken for the wrong person? This rustic hairstyle and glasses, hmm...
"Hello?" the black-haired woman asked in a gentle and weak voice.
"Well..." Gwen stood on tiptoes and glanced at the other person's collar with sharp eyes.
No tattoo?
Then it's not Li Qi... "Hello, I'm Gwen from the Utopia." He stretched out his hand and showed an embarrassed smile, "When I saw you just now, I thought you were someone I knew."
"Someone you know?" The brunette's expression was a little strange.
Next to her, a tall Shad man came over and stretched out his hand with a smile: "Smirnov, from the Waste City, what you said is a bit like chatting up... Haha, Mr. Gwen, we all
I have heard your name and know that you have been able to talk to Long Yan recently... We are special investigators assigned by the authorities. Could you please tell us whether Long Yan has time to talk to us recently? "
Special investigator? Gwen's eyes lit up, "Are you trying to catch Long Yan?"
Smirnov's expression was stiff and the corners of his mouth twitched:
"ah?"
…
The special correspondent team came to the Fellowship just today.
Smirnov invited Gwen to tea, and thought that maybe Morty could use her 'beauty' to help... Although I don't know why this beautiful mind flayer would pay attention to a local girl, but it is anyway
It was a good thing, so I took the very unhappy Morty along to accompany me.
"The authorities have always been very concerned," he said. "The death of the special commissioner may involve more complex issues. You know, in Utopia, death is sometimes an available resource, the time, manner, place of death, etc.
.”
Utopians admire death. They believe that death will be the end of a person's power, and this end can bring powerful power at the right time.
In the rituals of the immortals, this power generated by death is often used wantonly.
Of course everything can be priced.
Death is a power that is very easy to use and easy to obtain, and the price of this power is that its use will be inseparable from darkness and evil.
Gwen nodded to show understanding, and at the same time revealed his preferred way of dealing with it in the next sentence:
"I can understand, then you should arrest Long Yan. He is the culprit of everything, although he himself said that he has no motive."
The two special correspondents exchanged helpless looks.
They could feel that the beautiful young mind flayer in front of them didn't want to help them, or in other words, he didn't want to help them in the way they imagined.
"In that case."
Smirnov reluctantly picked up the dome hat on his lap, "Before I say goodbye, I have one last request. Can you send us a copy of the information you collected before?
You know, we don't have enough time to fully understand the case."
This was also his earliest purpose.
But then he did come up with the idea of recruiting mind flayers. After all, the road on the Fellowship is really wild. If you don't have a ghost by your side, your probability of being attacked will also be greatly increased.
But judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that the idea of using the facts of the case to deceive the other party into working for nothing will be accomplished. Then just settle for the next best thing and complete your original purpose.
Gwen fully agreed to their request.
"No problem at all. Where do you live and where will you stay? I will then have someone send you the information you need. It also includes the information and inferences given by the dead detective."
"It's great that you understand our work so well. I think we will see each other often from today on."
Gwen smiled and waved her hands, humorously saying:
"Then forget it. Being called to meet by the authorities' special commissioners every day is not a good sign."
When the two people paid their bills and walked out the door.
Gwen's smiling face suddenly calmed down. Then she revealed an expression of contemplation and thought.
"That woman..."
She really looks like Li Qi, and her energy source is also somewhat similar.
but……
The temperament is completely different.
Gwen swept his dragon tail in confusion. He had no choice but to quickly get down from the chair under the gaze of the nervous-looking clerk, and secretly used a spell from the Witch Lord's 0-level spell pool called [Repair, after 1977]
No more updates], the chair can be easily repaired to avoid harming the next customer.
