Chapter 770
"The guard in charge of the supplies reported to me for the first time that there was a small bag of raw sugar missing in the temporary warehouse. The bag of raw sugar fell on the march."
There were a few wooden chairs on the open space next to the carriage camp. Everyone sat in a circle on their chairs, and Charlotte reported to His Royal Highness Randal that they appeared in the camp. Abnormal conditions.
The blond and blue-eyed Dame lowered her head in shame. She didn't realize that the homunculus was meticulous and every day all counts the supplies several times. The guard reported that a small bag of raw sugar was missing from the temporary warehouse, which must have been lost in the camp, and that it happened that day.
The expeditionary army carries a lot of raw sugar, and it doesn’t matter if one more bag or one less bag. However, the camp of the expeditionary army was invaded, and the other party could steal things top secretly under everyone's care. That was extraordinary.
Charlotte pursed her rosy lips and continued to introduce to Victor: "In the next ten days, there will be 6 consecutive item loss incidents in the camp. Almost the next day there will be something unfathomable mystery. Missing. The missing items include sugar, salt, coffee, fresh fruit, wine, preserves and condiments... We found that the situation in the camp was not right, but we did not search with much fanfare, but pretended that nothing happened and observed in secret. I hope to find the thief."
Victor couldn’t help showing a funny expression on his face, and said in a relaxed tone: "You thought the thieves in the camp were Bertina and Caligula. You deliberately condoned They play."
Everyone laughed, but their smiles were a bit embarrassing and frustrated. Charlotte explained: "The theft happened after Bell and Aka came back. We all mistakenly I thought it was a prank by the two of them, and didn’t take seriously."
"How did the suspicion of Aka and Bell be resolved?"
"Twelfth day of the theft, Aka is the most The baby’s spice bag and iron pot were stolen, he looked for him anxiously, and then cried loudly, very sad...We interrogated Bell, but her guard proved that she was playing by the river at the back of the camp. It was impossible to be her. He stole it."
Charlotte paused, sternly said: "Aka himself couldn't find his lost item. Only then did we realize that there was an intruder in the camp."
She glanced at Victor and emphasized: "Very terrifying intruder."
Victor was silent for a while, cast his eyes on Nelson, and asked: "My commander, how do you deal with it? This matter?"
Nelson touched the back of his head habitually, and said in a deep voice: "I still assume that nothing happened, and I will stop the cultivation of the Portanos Secret. This way I won’t lose the perception, and then I will guard the warehouse with the guards..."
Seeing Nelson’s silence, Victor sat upright in surprise and asked, "The materials in the warehouse are Is your eyelid stolen?"
Nelson shook the head and said dejectedly: "My own tent was patronized by a thief, and I lost a fine gold knife and a silver knife. Spoon."
Victor couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air. Although Nelson’s lost things were small, the thieves could avoid his ambush and touch his tent. It’s definitely not an ordinary person. To do so, the opponent's mental perception must be at least stronger than Nelson's.
Victor thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Nelson, there is an outsider invading the camp, and you have to quietly lie in ambush...This is not like the style of the bear in the north."
Nelson glanced at Dane next to him from the corner of his eye, expressing the meaning: The guy taught me to do this.
Dane said with a bitter smile: "I don’t believe in the invasion of foreign enemies, I think we did it ourselves... Lord Nelson also didn’t believe that enemies could sneak into the camp, so he listened to me His suggestion is to play down this matter. Your Majesty, you know, some people under special circumstances, in order to relieve stress, some strange behaviors, such as theft, will occur. Moreover, the things lost in the camp are some ordinary supplies. , If we find him out with great fanfare for this trivial matter, and let him lose face, wouldn’t it be great?"
Dane suspects that there is a "house thief" in the team, which is a reasonable guess. No wonder Nelson and Charlotte would adopt his advice.
There are four gold-level sub-draconians in the expedition camp, and the remaining two hundred overwhelming majority are alchemy militias with a perception attribute of 15 or more, as well as refining Golden Dragon lizards and alchemy War mastiffs and bear dogs patrolled around. Coupled with the razor beasts cultivated by Imerson, Philip II and Philip III-these unnaturally alienated monsters are inherently flesh-hungry and extremely sensitive to creatures, even horned frogs hidden underground, they can dig out and eat them.
From Victor's point of view, the expeditionary force's perception methods and perception levels are three-dimensional and rigorous. Suppose that he personally sneaked into a camp with the same conditions, carried out theft, and the probability of not being discovered would be minimal.
Victor looked towards Charlotte again, only to see her lightly nodded.
There are two sword-wielding maids in Nelson's tent. They have received the strictest training for dormancy. They take turns to be vigilant when their master is sleeping. Charlotte apparently interrogated them afterwards, if Nelson's sword-wielding maid was not a "house thief," then there really was an intruder in the camp.
The "outer thief" can steal things from the maid holding a sword, and it can poison or assassinate family members who are unconscious due to the cultivation Portanos secret method.
That’s why Charlotte said that the intruders in the camp were terrifying.
Nelson said in a low, muffled voice: "Stealing from my tent is a provocation. I don’t care who the thief is, and I conducted a full search of the entire camp... It turned out that there were no footprints, no smell, and nothing. It was as if there was a ghost wandering in the camp... but I couldn't feel it, nor did Akka."
Victor turned his head back. Laila behind him asked: "What about you? Don't tell me, you didn't do anything."
The master's reproach was stern, and the dragon maid Laila pursed her gorgeous red lips. , Said aggrievedly: "What I lost is not my king’s treasure...My king wants me to guard the same wealth as I didn’t lose."
"Charlotte asks us to help. Our sisters searched carefully and did not find the thief." Dragon Maid Fugari added beside her.
Charlotte nodded repeatedly expressed recognition, and the interface said: "Sisters searched an area of 300 square kilometers, but unfortunately they could not find a clue. In the next few days, we set a trap, but the thieves did not Without touching the food in the trap, the camp gradually lost crystal lanterns, ropes, shovel, scissors and other tools."
Suddenly, Laila took out the Nine Headed Snake Orb from her waist pocket. Resting on her delicate and fair hands, she looked at Victor eagerly, indicating that the treasure she guarded had not been stolen.
The sub-draconians have the innate talent of Dragon Clan. The treasures they guard are stolen. Through the ability to go back to the past, locate the thieves and the treasures, and then chase the thieves to death. However, the taste of the draconian maid is not enough to mark the trifling food and tools as "Dragon King’s treasure", and the personal items lost by others have nothing to do with them.
Mei Wen blinked her charming blue eyes and said: "I'll find Bell..."
Bell is also "the treasure of the Dragon King", Mei Wen is going to take it Bell proved that they did not slacken their guard duties. Victor smiled bitterly and shook his head, stopped Mei Wen, and instructed the Dragon Maid: "You all return to the car and wait for me."
"Yes." The Dragon Maid's four sisters said in unison.
Waiting for their tall lithe and graceful silhouettes to disappear in the carriage cabin, Victor wrinkled his sword-like eyebrows and looked thoughtfully and said: "Is it really a ghost?"
As His Royal Highness Randal asked himself, the atmosphere suddenly became cold and weird. Nelson and Charlotte seemed to have the same idea.
When encountering an unexplainable situation, it is such is human nature that the problem is attributed to the ghost Spiritual God. But the shepherds of Lord of Radiance will never openly support the rumors of undead horror. Dane said firmly in his tone:
"The undead that spawned naturally have no support and cannot survive, unless the wizard uses witchcraft. Give the undead a parasitic carrier. Even so, the undead do not exist for long. Because they are all maintained by the magic power of the wizard, and the magic power of the wizard is limited, and the impossible has always controlled the undead. Moreover, even if the ghost can steal something, they take it. The item must show up when it is time, and someone will be hit, otherwise the ghost can't take anything. In addition, what about those stolen items? Ghosts don't need food or water... They don't need anything. They need these materials. It’s the person who controls the ghost."
Victor nodded, asked: "Priest, what do you think of these thefts?"
After Dane pondered for a moment, lifts the head and said: "I still think the problem lies in the camp...I suspect it is Bell, because His Royal Highness said that she is a little wizard, but she has not shown witchcraft abilities. If she is a mental and physical wizard, she may be able to manipulate others to help her steal some items... …Of course, when the little wizard awakened the innate talent, the overwhelming majority didn’t even know what happened? I mean, Bell may have been unintentional. She used witchcraft in her dreams, but I have no evidence."
He is wearing a special anaconda leather inner armor made by the Randal Family, and he is covered with a gray priest's short robe. This simple attire is very eye-catching to highlight the identity of the shepherd.
In the realm of the devil, wizard, and undead, the pastor undoubtedly holds the most authoritative voice. In fact, ninety-nine percent of the undead events in the human kingdom are related to wizards, and there are many natural undeads, but their activity time is very short, and the parties often have no feelings, and the natural undeads disappear. There is no need to ask the priest to come out and expel them. .
Dane has no practical experience in dealing with the dead, but it does not affect his authority. At least in Nelson and Charlotte's opinion, the priest's view should be accurate.
Charlotte has a delicate mind and a noble master behind him. She would not completely believe Dane’s statement. She cautiously asked: "Your Excellency Dane, don’t you see if Bell has Awakening witchcraft?"
"I can't answer this question." Dane spread his hands, shrugged. Facing Mrs. Charlotte's questioning, he assumed an indifferent posture. He is not afraid of Charlotte being angry, nor is he afraid of being ridiculed by the other party, because he is telling the truth.
At the beginning, the Pope himself performed true vision to check the root cause of the disease for Bertina. However, even the Pope could not detect Bell’s identity as a wizard, let alone a trifling Level 5 priest?
Dane believes that Lord Glory Waiter Miller has made some arrangements with Bell to conceal her identity as a wizard; he also believes that His Royal Highness Randal, who is extremely intelligent, must be aware of Bell’s special features, whether it is Miller The adults told your Highness, or your Highness thought of it himself.
Sure enough, when Charlotte was about to raise her eyebrows, Victor held her slender and soft jade hand and asked: "When was the last theft?"
Charlotte smiled at her beloved master and replied: "The day before yesterday afternoon, a guard reported that two dried prairie grouses had been lost. Akka ran to look for it first, but unfortunately he didn't find it."
p>Victor stretched out his slender fingers, rubbed his eyebrows, sighed and said, "Is this an intruder or a'house thief' doing it? This matter must be tracked down...Dane, do you have a good idea? "
Dane thought for a while and tried to say: "I think we can send someone to keep an eye on Bell. In addition, please search outside the camp with your Royal Highness and the four ladies. If the intruder did it, it would be the day before yesterday. I robbed the Fengji at noon. I shouldn’t have traveled far."
Victor got up immediately, nodded and said: "Okay, without further ado, the dragon maid and I went out to search the camp to see if we could catch it. Rogue, but Laila wants to stay... Dane will be responsible for the search on the camp."
Soon, Victor took the three dragon maids and left the camp, searching for the invasion in different directions. The clues that the author may leave. According to Victor's instructions, Dane sent Bertina to the carriage cabin and left it to Charlotte and Laila to take care of her. Then, he wandered around in the camp and inadvertently came outside of Imerson's tent.
Philip II, III and a group of razor beasts lay dormant on the grass around the tent. The two alienated beasts were like two hills. Even if they were lying still, they gave a strong oppression. Dane involuntarily slowed down, cautiously walked through the gap left by the alienated beast, approached the tent, and whispered: "Imerson, Imerson, are you there?"
The wizard of Randal Family bent over , Got out of the tent, followed by two beautiful, slender, long-legged sword-wielding maids behind him. As soon as he saw the chaplain with the army, he greeted warmly: "Dane, you are here... Well, Bell, how is she?"
Dane gave him a look and played said with a smile "You guy can actually give birth to such a cute daughter."
Imerson rubbed his hands and said with some pride: "The master never mentioned my father-daughter relationship with Bell. Promote that Bell is my daughter. After all, the reputation of the wizard is not very good, and I am afraid that I will hurt Bell."
"Okay, okay, I know your father and daughter used to have a hard life... I just came to ask if you have lost anything here." Dane laughed and asked.
"We didn't lose anything, did we?" Imerson turned to ask his sword-wielding maid, and was nodded by the two of them. He looked towards Dane and said, "We didn't lose anything...what? The thief returned it. Didn’t you catch it?"
Dane gazes heavily, nodded, and pats the wizard on the shoulder, saying: "His Royal Highness Randal is out looking for the intruder... until there are no results, don’t be there. Practice the Portanos secret to prevent accidents... Bell is in the car house of His Royal Highness, with Mrs. Charlotte and Ms. Laila taking care of him. The stupid big fellow sleeps outside the car house. You don't have to worry about Bell's safety. "
"...That's good." Imerson relaxed, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "I dare to practice the secret method taught by His Highness, I now sleep with Lisa and An Wen in turn... …This thief appears and disappear unpredictably, making everyone nervous. Master priest, do you think it’s really a ghost?"
Dane was silent, and the blood on Imerson's face gradually faded. , His lips trembled and said: "There are really no ghosts in the camp, right?"
He has a powerful and extraordinary power, but like most ordinary persons, he has a natural fear of the undead. .
Dane coughed and said: "The probability of ghosts is very small...and it is not impossible. I want you to do me a favor."
Imerson eyes shined, refreshing Said: "Your Excellency, if you need my help, just speak up. If you can help the servants of the Supreme Lord to dispel the evil, it is my honor!"
Dane smiled nodded and asked: "When Bell returns , Didn’t you catch an old fox? Is it still alive?"
"Behind the tent, I raised it well!"
The two went around behind the tent, holding The Sword Maid followed them like a shadow. Dane didn't care about the maid's following, his attention was all focused on a prairie fox with dark red fur and white fur on its mouth.
When the old fox saw Imerson, he leaned his head close to his ears, appearing very affectionate and submissive.
Imerson pushed the prairie fox away with his feet and asked nervously and excitedly: "Pastor Dane, can this old fox catch ghosts?"
Dane's The expression in his eyes became unpredictable, and a smile line appeared at the corner of his mouth. Indifferently said, "I am also using exorcism for the first time. If there is a ghost in the camp, I have to find it first... By the way, you don’t want to do this. Say, when I really find the dead, I will get rid of them at all costs!"
Imerson nodded three points from his chest to his forehead, "May the Lord of Radiance of Supreme shine on us To dispel all darkness and uncleanness."
Dane squeezed the holy crystal in his pocket and prayed silently in his heart: "May my lord protect me and give me authority. Lucky enemies will suffer bad luck! May my lord protect me and give me a sharp sword, and the danger that comes will be cut off!"
