"Did you do what I asked Aslant to do?" Sean asked suddenly.

It was at this point that Barnier finally seemed to remember something, and busily took out a letter from his waist bag.

Forgot?

Awesome!

It's worthy of their mercenary team, if everything can be done on time, then it won't taste like that.

"This is the news we received from the secret messenger when we passed through Bahahama, and now that the passage from Oro City to Edak has been opened again, the trade between the two sides can be awakened normally. Barnier pulled out a sealed letter.

Bahahama's usher.

They didn't know the name, but Sean, who had sent it out for himself, certainly did.

Kayla, the female snitch.

A person whose ability is close to level 5 of the Order, when he last saw it, was still more than level 4, and now it should be close to it.

That is, she once took her Bounty Hunter Medal and returned it...... As a result, the other party also invited himself to form a team of girls with pink hair.

Female thief.

Because of his special strength and keen observation, Sean, who was the lord of the city, valued him and asked him to investigate the problems left over from the Tacoma incident.

Almost half a year has passed, let's see what results she can come up with.

Open the letter......

Probably the most attractive thing is the strange patterns drawn.

A five-pointed star with a dot painting in the middle that resembles an eye, and a human head underneath.

It was an octopus head, and the chin was covered with tentacles of suckers.

And then there's Kayla's findings in the past six months:

It all began with the Seal of Old Tacoma, which sparked a rebellion with a group called the Night Circus, which Kayla later investigated as the cultists.

This is also Sean's original idea, nothing new.

It's just a matter of asking the other party to confirm it.

However, in the later debriefing, Kayla told a lot of bizarre and bizarre stories...... Among them was that the circus appeared that night in Old Tacoma, where it seemed to leave a few people behind and then left.

Following the border into Edak, and finally turning to the port of Mersin and heading to the southern continent.

It looks like he's preparing to flee the area......

Since Kayla was also one of the participants in the Old Town Tacoma incident, it is estimated that the other party fled after the Old Town Tacoma incident was resolved, based on the time she investigated.

It seems to have been a deliberate escape.

And they used to leave a lot of things in Bahahama, and they also sent out a lot of rumors.

The reason why the merchants went back to the old city to hunt for treasure was also passed on by them...... But it seems that I actually found something and came back.

One of them is known as a palm-sized statue.

They call it: the Statue of Cthulhu.

And the person who got him doesn't know what happened next!

I heard that after a merchant acquired him, his whole person changed, as if in an instant he had become an interesting bard's art.

He was once appreciated by the lord of Bahahama, especially his paintings were very characteristic and were once rumored to be open-minded.

But it was the poet who became popular, and disappeared in less than a month...... The exact cause is unknown.

However, Kayla's report states that she once infiltrated the home of a city garrison officer while looking for clues...... It was written to whom, I don't know, it was burned in half.

The vague handwriting depicts the man in the cell suddenly turning into a monster covered in sarcoma, with his eyes, hands and feet misaligned.

In the end, he died in a wail, and many jailers at that time almost went crazy because of such a plot, and he finally disposed of it......

The letters are short, headless, and tailless.

However, Kayla thinks that the person who died is the merchant (bard), who has been given an inhuman gift but is destroyed because he can't bear it.

And in the final report, it is written that the Cthulhu statue may have returned to the hands of the Night Circus......

It was an evil god item.

It is estimated that it carries some kind of power.

That's the end of it......

The two paintings were seen on paper by Kayla when she infiltrated the garrison officer's house, so she drew them from memory.

And the dead octopus man in Sean's memory to return the truth!

It was as if in an instant Sean understood why Westman had gone from a human to an alien in a short period of time.

Cthulhu Statue!!

It may have been left in the city at the time of the Tacoma incident, but the mysterious circus didn't dare to look for it again, so the merchants came to look for it.

And then he used it to create a series of events and then left.

Hiss~

It took a whole year for Sean to react in hindsight.

So I always lived in the same area with the cult god believers at that time!

It may be something that can be seen on the trade road......

Think about it.

The shadows and believers of those ancient gods were indeed beside him, perhaps one of the crowd, hiding in a corner he didn't know.

"This is the guy I sent out to track down the outcome of the Tacoma incident, and I'm showing you. After visiting the report, Sean handed the letter to Barnier and the others to read.

The four of them have followed so many people who have come over from the war, and this trust is still there.

And after reading the above news, Barnier and the others all had surprised expressions......

"Your Highness, this thing is ......"

"That's right, in relation to the Old Gods, they were involved in everything we did, including perhaps the war between Basalan and Borg, and I had been paying attention to them for a long time. Sean said.

"I keep sending people to investigate these things in order to find out the truth about them. ”

"Then Your Highness asked us to come here this time for this?"

"Hmm. ”

There is nothing to hide.

Although Barnier is a little lazy, he is just a real mercenary and has a lot of experience in the field.

"I need you to assemble a team of investigators to investigate these things. Of course, there is also a lot of danger here, so you can think about it...... I won't force you, if you don't want to be I'll still be able to give you normal treatment, and I'll serve as my bodyguard. ”

Sean said.

But Latina was the first to slap the table.

"How can you keep taking money and not doing things, I agree. ”

"Then I agree. Another girl said.

Finally, Barnier looked at a few of the team.

"Actually, I'm also a little interested in these things, and I like to study the unknown the most, and I agreed to join. He said.

..................

At night, Sean peruses Kayla's report in his study.

I stared at the pattern again and again......

Open your own magic guide and write a new message.

Cthulhu:

【Old Ruler】

For a moment, I saw a huge figure standing on top of the sea, with an octopus head and huge bat wings.

At the same time, such a title is spoken by itself.
