"How's the progress over there?"
"It's much more troublesome than expected."
"It's the same here."
Greste and Klein looked at each other and fell silent.
They thought they could find the correct answer by elimination, but the process was more tortuous than they thought.
There are thirty-five people on the list to be investigated. Excluding Earl Hastur Campbell, there are still thirty-four people left. They are responsible for investigating seventeen people respectively.
Half a week has passed, but they have only investigated the third person separately.
Each of these people under investigation has a rich and colorful experience, and there are also many suspicious things about them.
This forced them to investigate deeply, but after spending many days investigating, they found that it was just a minor problem.
This made Klein feel that when playing a game, the game author deliberately stuffed a lot of things into the game that seemed useful but were actually useless in order to extend the player's gaming time.
It looks rich, but is useless to play, which greatly prolongs the time it takes players to conquer the final BOSS.
Take the two people he has investigated so far. One is said to be a member of a cult organization. He behaves very abnormally on weekdays. When Ince Zangwill arrived at Puning Port, he happened to disappear. People also called the police.
The second one was a captain of a fishing boat in the distant sea. When Ince Zangwill came to Puning Port, he also happened to come back from the sea. It is said that while fishing, he brought back a precious item from the depths of the seabed. It is a treasure that makes everyone who has seen it fascinated and deeply immersed in it.
There was something fishy about these two people, so he naturally wanted to investigate clearly.
As a result, the first person was indeed a believer of a mysterious organization, but it was not an evil extraordinary organization, but an "organization that assists the reproduction of wild creatures."
During the few days he disappeared, he happened to follow members of the organization to the deep mountains and forests to observe the reproduction of wild creatures.
The second person, the mysterious treasure he brought back, was neither a sealed object nor an extraordinary item with unusual power. It was just a pink pearl that was one size larger than ordinary pearls.
Klein even took a few glances at it, and it was indeed quite attractive.
The third person who is currently being investigated is a foreigner with unknown origins. He has also had conflicts with Viscount Stein. He even said in front of many people that he would use some magical power to kill Viscount Stein.
According to Klein's current investigation progress, the so-called magical power is most likely a means of stabbing villains or voodoo dolls.
But until the investigation reaches the end, it is impossible to completely rule out the suspicion on them.
The first few are relatively easy to investigate, but there are many people who have left Puning Port and it will take time to search.
Overall, the gaming experience is very unfriendly.
Klein poured a cup of hot tea for Greste, who was leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed, and asked, "What did the church say?"
Grayste opened his eyes, rubbed his eyes gently, took a sip of hot tea, and then slowly spoke: "Let us act according to circumstances, don't be too anxious, safety is the most important thing. If there is no particularly important discovery, the church will
We will not send anyone else. There have been many extraordinary incidents in many places recently, and we are in great need of manpower."
Klein remained silent. The church's attitude indicated that they did not want to use force to solve possible problems here unless it contained great harm.
But looking at the current appearance of Puning Port, it is prosperous and everything is normal.
Greste glanced at him and said, "The church is also very helpless in this matter. It is impossible for them to use all their limited power on the investigation, and it is impossible for every matter to be solved perfectly. As long as Unless there is a big mess, you can turn a blind eye to everything."
Klein was puzzled: "With the importance of Sealed Artifact 008, isn't it worthy of the church's attention?"
Greste sighed, put the hot tea on his knees, and said with a wry smile: "You know that Ms. Eyes of the Goddess Illya, who led Leonard and the others to investigate this matter last time, is an Extraordinary of the highest order. ?"
Klein shook his head. He didn't know Ms. Illya very well.
"Sequence 3 Fear Bishop."
Klein opened his mouth and didn't say a word. He just drank hot tea silently.
He just felt that the gaming experience was even more unfriendly.
What else could they do if even a Sequence 3 couldn't solve the problem?
Even if they find the final BOSS, they still can't defeat it and may even be crushed to death at any time.
How can I play this crappy game without nerfing the BOSS?
……
Above the gray fog, the weekly Tarot meeting was held again.
Sitting at the top of the table and looking around at the Tarot Club members who came for the meeting below, Klein was in a pretty good mood.
Only here, when you appear as Mr. Fool, can you get a complete and comfortable gaming experience.
After reading the only entry in Russell's diary, Klein glanced at Miss Justice, whose eyes were a little evasive.
If I remember correctly, Miss Justice has only turned in one Roselle diary in the past three weeks. This production is seriously insufficient.
Although the Roselle diary she handed over in the past was seriously watered down, it was still a large amount of information. After reading it, there was always some gain.
But now, there is no chance for entertainment.
But as Mr. Fool, he can't hit Miss Justice for this kind of thing. He can only give her a look and let her experience it for herself.
Ah, Mr. Fool, are you blaming me for not turning in Russell's diary recently?
Miss Justice felt a little panicked as she felt the special care from Mr. Fool.
It's not that she doesn't want to hand in Russell's diary, it's just that she hasn't been able to find a new one recently.
Mr. Hastur's side was now far away in South Wales, and she was too embarrassed to bother him about this matter.
In order not to reveal her identity, she could not quietly entrust Xio and Forsi to help collect them, and could only search silently by herself.
After reading Russell’s diary, it’s time for free trading and conversation.
Little Sun was still talking about his experiences and gains in that dilapidated temple, and then started arguing with Mr. Moon, who was obviously missing a point in his IQ.
The others turned into a group of melon-eating people, and occasionally brought up a few topics for the two of them to continue arguing.
One has the historical heritage passed down from the Silver City to this day, and the other is a vampire family that lives a long time. The descriptions in some historical stories and myths and legends can always make the people who eat melons gain a lot.
When they had reached the point where they were arguing, the others started to talk about the topic they were arguing about.
Regarding such an honest and honest situation, Mr. Fool said that it was not bad.
He also likes to listen to Little Sun telling some distant historical secrets.
Chapter 317 Miss Justice: Mr. Hanged Man, happy cooperation
fast
"Some time ago, three ships of the Storm Church were sunk in the waters near the Rhoside Islands." Alger spoke solemnly, describing what happened on the sea during this period.
"I received the news late at sea. It happened about ten days ago. The Church of Storms was furious. Next, there will be a storm on the sea." When Alger said this, worry and fear flashed in his eyes.
Only the insiders of the Church of Storms know how angry the Church of Storms is this time.
Ten days ago, the ships of the Church of Storms...could they be the reinforcements from the Church of Storms that went to support Leonard and the others, but gave up in the end?
Klein's heart moved slightly, thinking of Leonard's letter a few days ago, which contained a rough story of their adventure at sea.
Due to the absence of reinforcements from the Church of Storms, they were kicked off the Black Emperor of the King of the Five Seas and returned to Backlund.
Leonard also mocked the Church of Storms for its incompetence.
Now it seems that the Church of Storms is really not to blame.
Audrey blinked and asked curiously: "Isn't the Church of Storms the master of the sea? Who has the ability to target them?"
"The new uncrowned king has risen on the sea. He is more terrifying than the original four pirate kings, and he hates storms even more."
Alger's face looked a little strange. He had once traveled with the uncrowned king.
It was only recently that he learned that the mysterious young man who appeared next to him was actually the uncrowned king who was currently in the limelight on the sea.
Many pirates heard about his brilliant deeds, and their behavior became increasingly extreme, and they seemed to have a tendency to establish their own country.
This is not groundless. Many pirates are singing about the heroic deeds of the Uncrowned King and dreaming of establishing a free kingdom belonging to pirates.
"Is there any unknown secret here?" The person asking was Forsi, who was good at eating melons and making up stories.
Alkin shook his head and said: "I don't know. This matter is considered taboo within the church. Only the archbishop and others are qualified to read any information related to the Uncrowned King."
Could it be that the uncrowned king is the illegitimate son of the Pope of the Church of Storms or someone high-ranking?
This was the first conjecture that came to Forsi's mind. In many novels and stories, the private lives of important people are always inappropriate, which leads to the plot of many illegitimate children returning for revenge.
Audrey said sincerely: "The sea is really scary."
She couldn't help but think of Mr. Hastur. He was stationed at the coastal defense line in South Wales. Would he have to face such a terrifying existence as the Uncrowned King in the future?
After thinking for a moment, she looked at Alger, raised her voice slightly and said, "Mr. Hanged Man, I want to know the general movements of the pirates in the future, mainly things related to South Wales."
"This is a long-term mission, and I will reward you accordingly based on the value of the intelligence you provide."
"I can pay 500 gold pounds for this in advance."
Pay 500 gold pounds in advance?
Forsi's eyes widened slightly next to her. Her annual remuneration may not be this amount.
Alger was also shocked, but he gradually got used to Miss Justice's behavior of throwing money at people.
"I'll help you keep an eye on this.
” After Alger finished speaking, he added: “Recently, there is an incident that may be related to South Wales County.”
Audrey suddenly became focused.
"There is a relatively famous pirate group entrenched on Damier Island, called the Dark Hand Pirate Group. Their behavior is cruel and disgusting, and they often rob fishing villages and ports along the coast."
In order for Miss Justice to understand it better, Alger drew a small map of the area. Damier Island is located in the eastern waters of South Wales County. It is a moderate distance away. There are pirate groups plundering passing merchant ships nearby all year round.
"I heard that it's because a powerful man from Backlund recently came to Puning Port in South Wales and is training and reorganizing the navy. The nearby pirate group is afraid that he will really train a qualified navy, so they have a secret hand. A pirate group is about to attack the port in South Wales.”
This news was circulated among the pirates, and most pirates did not take it seriously, thinking that the navy in South Wales was just a bunch of softies no matter how well-trained it was.
But Alger didn't think so. In this turbulent era, anyone who tried to change something was worthy of attention.
He also didn't expect that he could exchange this news for a huge reward.
It turned out to be because of that Earl Hastur Campbell.
Klein, who had been listening, now concentrated and began to think about this matter.
He is currently in Puning Port. If a pirate group really happens to harm the coastal areas, he will definitely reveal the news in advance so that Count Hastur Campbell can be prepared.
