Through Francis's confession, Donald learns that his spatial ring was taken by a group of robbers by mistake.

Why is it said that it was a mistake?

Because these people don't seem to know that it's a spatial ring, it's just that it happens to be in a drawer on the bedside table, and it's stored in a special place, and they're just a bunch of guys who are used to plundering.

"In the present situation, let us put aside the prejudices and contradictions for the time being, in any case, the goal of our three parties is the same, that is, to catch this gang of bandits, and when the time comes, Your Excellency will take back your belongings, Captain Luther can learn from them about the origin of those weapons, and I can also protect the villages and towns around Delchimo from this gang of vicious bandits. ”

Jacqueline said as she picked up the Morning Light Sect's emblem around her neck and kissed it to her mouth, as an apostle, making such an gesture meant that she would be responsible for what she said by her faith.

As two neighboring religious cities, Luther also knew some of the ways of the Apostles of the Morning Light Sect, and after a little hesitation, he raised the silver hammer on his waist with both hands and said, "For the sake of Corta, the king of blacksmiths, please bring hope to us." ”

This is a religious oath worn by the Craft and Forge sect, which is not too solemn, but it does not allow them to go to a church for a prayer at this time.

"I'm still saying that, I just want to get my stuff back. ”

Donald looked at Jacqueline and Luther's actions, he was really a little embarrassed, and said in his heart that he might not think of a temporary action himself, after all, they had done it, and he had no faith, and he was embarrassed not to say anything, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that making up a job would coincide with the behavior of other religions, and it would be troublesome at that time, so he could only say something dry after thinking about it.

"According to Francis, this gang of robbers is hiding in the sewers of Corta in order to avoid the pursuit of the Dawnlight Sect, and the sewer network of Corta is almost all over the city, and we have no way to locate it for the time being, so we can only rely on carpet search......"

"Wait, although this is my first time in Corta, I also know that the size of this city is not much different from Delchimo, carpet search? This sewer network extends in all directions, if you count the possibility that the other party deliberately avoided us and suddenly fled back to the ground in the middle of the way, you are going to look for a few months?"

The so-called carpet search sounds like a resolute decision, but in fact, it is just because there is really no other choice, so this is not actually a solution at all.

Donald naturally can't stay here for too long, although he has plenty of time, but that's relatively speaking, three or five days is acceptable, but ten days and half a month are not good.

"Your Excellency, is there a better way?"

Jacqueline didn't show anger at Donald's interruption, she actually hoped to find a better way, she was the Knight Captain of the Dawnlight Sect, she was going to protect Delchimo, and naturally she didn't want to stay in the city of the other sects for too long.

"I have some ideas...... Francis, since you were involved in last night's murder with them, you should have met with the robbers before, you can't deny that. ”

You can't just rely on recklessness to do things, sometimes you can find the trick to get twice the result with half the effort, this is the truth that Donald has long understood, in his opinion, the key to breaking the game now is the inner ghost in front of him.

"I did meet with them, but before I did, I only contacted one of them, and the others were only met last night...... The light was dim, and I could barely remember the faces of a few of them. ”

Francis was lying on the ground at this time, the five fingers of his right hand were bloody and blurred, and when he heard Donald asking him, he immediately half-sat up and said all the answers he knew, for fear that his left hand would be treated in the same way.

"I don't need you to tell me what they look like, I want to ask if you paid attention to their clothes when you met with them, did they smell dirty?"

Donald's questions are similar to chatter, but there's something unusual about them.

"This ...... They did smell strange, but their clothes weren't dirty, and I met the guy a few times, and he was masked the whole time, and the clothes on his body were different every time. ”

"Oh, you mean he changes his clothes?"

The person who heard the joint often changed his clothes, and the corners of Donald's mouth rose slightly.

"I see, what Your Majesty means is that they will inevitably have stolen goods on them after staying in the sewers for a long time, so they will come out to buy clothes, and if they want to buy clean clothes, they will naturally have to go to the clothing store, and we can take their portraits to the city and ask, which can narrow down the search. ”

Luther, believing that he understood Donald's thoughts, stole the conversation and tried to regain control of the situation.

"If they buy a lot of clothes at one time and change them, as long as they stay in the sewer for a long time, they will have smell fatigue, and it doesn't matter if the clothes stink or not, as long as they are clean?"

Donald glanced at Luther, and instead it was Jacqueline, he might have considered her feelings and spoke tactfully, since it was the person who had just had a conflict, he had no polite thoughts.

"Your Excellency means ......"

"Food!"

Donald opened his mouth to utter a noun, and then explained,

"Since these robbers are keen to change clean clothes, it proves that they are actually very concerned about their personal hygiene, in this case, they can't rely on snakes and rats and other wild animals in the sewers to hide their whereabouts, they must eat fresh and clean food, clothes can be stored, food is not!"

If they were professional stalkers, they would have to hide somewhere, and if they could do that, Donald might have to try their luck in the sewers.

These people obviously don't have this awareness, they are used to the good life brought by burning, killing and looting, and they go to the sewers to endure hardships..... It's okay to endure the stench, and it's okay to ask them not to shower for a few days, but if the clothes on their bodies are stained by the moisture in the sewer and cause them to itch, that's another matter.

Not to mention that Corta is an industrial city, the sewers are full of industrial sewage, and they know how many chemical raw materials are hidden in the bodies of the animals living here.

In case of food poisoning, instead of being killed by the apostles of the Dawnlight Sect, he was poisoned by a rat, who to reason with?

"They are not stupid enough to eat every meal on the ground, after all, the smell of their bodies is too strong, and it is easy to attract attention when they often gather in groups, so these robbers will only send one or two members out to buy food at a time. ”

"They are in the sewers, and most of the self-exit locations are on city streets, so in order to avoid detection, it is naturally impossible for them to return to the surface from the exits of this type of location, so they must have picked some locations in the lanes and most of them went out late at night. ”

"The way to find them is very simple, Captain Luther should be able to get the help of the Corta police department, just find out how many restaurants are still open late at night in Corta, ask the manager if he has seen people with strange smells packing a lot of food, and then all he has to do is to squat and wait for them to come to the door!"

In the end, the discussion undoubtedly became Donald's one-man show, and his agile thinking allowed him to think about many things one step ahead, and he was naturally able to control the situation.

"I see, I'll contact the police station immediately, I'll contact Captain Jacqueline if I find anything, please make sure you have the communicator in your hand turned on at any time. ”

From his waist he took out a machine with circuits and mechanics, which was a little different in appearance from the communicator that Donald had obtained in Dmingham, and this one looked more delicate.

"We await your good news. ”

Donald didn't have any connections here, so of course he had to leave it to Captain Luther, and Jacqueline, as the only one with a communicator, stayed with them.

The craftsman's family arrived at the workshop not long after, and the matter here was naturally handed over to these people, while Donald and his party found a café nearby and waited for news.

"Captain Luther was there just now, and I can't ask, but now that he is gone...... Can you tell me what's going on in this city?"

The city gave Donald a very strange feeling, and this special feeling came from all kinds of things, such as the dream on the first night of his arrival, and the mental state of the people here, a good city, but it gave people a lifeless feeling.

"This ...... It's not convenient for me to say. ”

Jacqueline obviously knew something, but was afraid of the bad effects of saying it, and her face was hesitant, and her fingers rubbed the edge of the coffee cup, letting the heat swirl between her fingers.

It's not a good idea to speak ill of someone else's turf.

"The craftsman you introduced to me made my space ring gone, this is not the way to repay my kindness, if you didn't give me a good impression and still help me find the ring, otherwise...... Of course, I'm just casually saying, don't take it to heart. ”

As if casually mentioning these things, Donald stirred the coffee with a silver spoon in his hand, the expression on his face did not change, but the three people around him, except Julia, turned their eyes to Jacqueline.

The pressure is generated by the pressure of this invisible line of sight.

In fact, Donald agreed to so many conditions for this craftsman for the sake of Jacqueline's face, and as a result, because he said that he could not be disturbed for three days, he came to see it today, and the people were gone, and the ring was gone.

Who can Donald go to?

Isn't Jacqueline the most responsible.

"Well, I say...... In fact, in recent months a considerable number of people in the city of Cortà have suffered from insanity, some say that they have seen the city's houses swaying as if they were alive at night, and some say that they have witnessed homeless people being dragged into the shadows by black tentacles and disappearing. ”

"What about the facts?"

Donald naturally didn't believe the words of some ordinary people, since this phenomenon is widespread, the Craft and Forge Sect, as the manager here, must investigate.

"It is said that the cause has not been found yet, on the one hand, there are really no clues, and it is impossible to trace it by the oral accounts of those people alone, and on the other hand, it is ...... There is a serious disagreement within the Craft and Forge Sect, and I mean the ideological disagreement of the sect, not the dispute within the sect branch located in Corta,"

"Sectarian philosophies are divided...... Since the Craft and Forging Sect can become an orthodox sect recognized by the Ryan Empire, it should not have existed for a short time, right?"

This is no joke, the foundation of a sect's existence is its doctrine, relying on doctrine to absorb believers, relying on doctrine to inspire believers, and relying on doctrine to govern the entire sect and formulate guidelines for future development.

In Donald's view, the first condition for a mature sect is that they have a complete set of doctrines, and it is also impossible for the Lane Empire to approve a sect that even contradicts its doctrine to govern the religion of a city, which is to make trouble for itself.

"You are mistaken, it's not the doctrine that's wrong, it's the idea that's divergent...... Of course, if this divide continues to widen, it is likely to affect doctrine. ”

As she was talking, Jacqueline noticed the indifference on Donald's face, realized that he didn't care about it, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief and changed the topic at the same time,

"Let me pick the key points, there is a group of robbers in the cities of Delchimo and Corta, this is the group we are tracking down now, and they have a very special batch of firearms in their hands, and the intelligence shows that they got this batch of weapons from Corta, and the priest's wound was caused by that firearm, I ...... There is a suspicion that someone from within the Craft and Forge Sect created this weapon, and if this is confirmed, it will be very troublesome at that time, and it is precisely because of this incident that Captain Luther is so sensitive. ”

The sect that is supposed to protect the people makes guns for robbers, so what's the deal?

Jacqueline, who was almost out of her mouth, turned her head a little embarrassed and slapped her mouth, then turned back again, and tucked her hair behind her ears as if nothing happened.

Donald naturally saw this scene, but he didn't say much.

He was now using his mental strength to communicate with a few of his companions.

"If nothing happens later, I should go to the sewers, there is a good chance that there will be a fight, Anthony and Stephanie, you two don't go down, I need you to stay and protect Julia, and the goods on the carriage must be watched, and I will go with Lilo when the time comes." ”

Julia's safety is the primary consideration, Donald can still distinguish this priority, the sewer terrain is complicated, there may be some ambush, if there is any accident to bring Julia down, there will be no regrets when the medicine is taken.

If it's just him and Lilo, if it's really at a critical juncture, Donald will take a dimensional step, Lilo will fully explode and also have the combat power to awaken the peak, plus other helpers, there will definitely be no problem if you want to run.

"Okay, listen to you. ”

"I have no opinion, you guys pay attention to safety. ”

Anthony and Stephanie had no objection to Donald's instructions.

After the discussion, the next step is to wait for news from the craft and forging sect.

About two hours later, the sound of electricity rang out from Jacqueline's communicator on the table.
