The secret of the sea serpent monster?
"It's not a book about powerful magic, it's just a popular science book about water monsters?" he was about to sigh and reward an inconsequential book. Suddenly, I found that the name of the magic book had the words "Sea Serpent Water Monster", and I chuckled in my heart.
The sea serpent immediately reminded him of the Dulu Michita who chased down the kraken, Ake, a giant sea serpent with six heads.
Then I remembered that the original invisible dragon serial quest was also involved in the form of a magic book.
At this moment, he had a strong premonition that the crisis had been surrounding him: "Perhaps, this time, it is the serial mission of Dulu Michita." That Mitchita, who is likely to be an intermediate-level sea monster, has never left this sea area, hiding and peeking in the dark!"
Most likely.
Otherwise, there is no need to reward a sea snake science book.
However, in the face of the threat of Dulu Michita, he only tensed for a moment before relaxing. The invasion of the invisible dragon can be dealt with, and what if there is another mid-level sea monster.
With the help of the Smoke Quest, it will definitely not be too difficult to solve this sea snake.
The power of fate is not idle.
Besides, the sea monster can only live in the deep sea, and if it dares to come to the shallow sea area, it will seek death by itself. Today's Flower Town, today's Liszt, is no longer weak.
"Be careful this time, hurry up and complete more smoke quests, get more information about Dulu Michita, and chain quest rewards...... Finally, solve the hidden dangers!"
Thoughts flickered.
New Smoke Quest released.
"Mission: Look through the magic books that Elkeson brought, do you feel that each book is stained with the terrible cry of the magic apprentice, that is, the helplessness and despair after the broken soul, please wash away the grievances on the magic books. Bonus: A copy of the research notebook. ”
The grievances of a magic apprentice?
Liszt frowned deeply, and thought: "What does this mean, could it be that Elkeson killed a lot of magic apprentices behind his back, in order to get these magic books?
His intuitive senses made him not believe that Elkeson would kill a magic apprentice casually.
But reason tells him that it is necessary to scrutinize Elkeson carefully, and not to trust anyone: "If Elkeson is really a murderer, if I want to wash the grievances in the books, do I have to kill Elkeson...... Let's go back to Flower Town first, and then make the next step!"
On Coral Island, it is strictly forbidden to kill people at will, this is a rule issued by the Count.
Even those nobles can't kill people outside their territory, and even within their territory, killing people at will will be punished by the earl - although the lord has absolute jurisdiction over the territory, but if the behavior exceeds the morality of the nobles, the superior lord will naturally teach you how to behave.
Of course, the nobles usually cherish their serfs and do not kill people at will, and the superior lords do not care what their followers do in their territory.
There is no need to mess with your followers for the lives of a few civilians.
It's just that the magician is not a nobleman, and if he dares to kill people at will, the nobleman will definitely punish him. Liszt admired Elkeson very much, he was polite, not rigid, and he was a good partner to work with. But as a nobleman, if Elkeson is found to be killing people casually, he will never be relentless.
Rest for the night.
On the second day, we sailed back to Flower Town, and during the voyage, Liszt was no longer bored with sailing. Galtai, who returned with the ship, always bragged non-stop. He kept holding the binoculars and looking around, making sure that Dulu Michita didn't sneak close to him.
On the sea, mid-level sea monsters are not easy to deal with.
He was ready to resist if he met Dulu Michita. Stop the boat and drift, take back the Dinghai Divine Pearl, let the Dulu Michita rage, just hide in the wooden boat and steal your life. And covered in smoky grass juice, wait for the Dulu Michita to finish, and then row home.
It's not cowardice.
It's helplessness.
He couldn't help but go back to Flower Town, but without preparation, he encountered Dulu Michita in the vast sea, and resisted only a quick death.
But.
Without the Siren Aker on board, Dulu Michita may not be interested in the Flower - it has sailed back and forth dozens of times during this time, and has not collided with Dulu Michita, which shows that the Kraken has little interest in ships.
In tension.
Smooth return to Flower Town.
Liszt went straight to the castle and rummaged through the spellbooks that Elkeson had brought. Some of the magic books he was sure didn't have "harmful" content were given to the Siren Aker to read, while others were left on the shelves in his study.
"During this time, I only received two boxes of books from Elkeson, and the reward should be in this. Quickly rummaging, and soon, a copy of "The Secret of the Sea Serpent Monster" was dug out of an inconspicuous corner of the bookshelf.
He hadn't seen this book before, probably because the housekeeper Carter had helped him sort it out and put it on the shelf.
Before he was about to flip through it, he called for the guard Paris.
"Lord Baron, is there something to do with me?"
"One small task, I hope you can help me with it, I like magic books, you know. ”
"Of course, everyone in the town should know that Lord Baron likes to read. ”
"These books were purchased for me by Elkeson Truth, but I now suspect that there is something wrong with the origin of these books, and I would like to ask you to help me investigate and make sure that they were purchased through legal means. Liszt said he didn't want to interrogate Elkeson directly.
First, I don't want to startle the snake, and second, if it's a misunderstanding, it doesn't look good.
"It's an easy task, and I'll do it as soon as I can, Lord Baron. ”
"So let's talk about mission pay. ”
Paris smiled suddenly: "It's just a small task, it should be considered free, after all, I just take money and don't work, which has caused gossip from many officials in the town." ”
"Gossip?" Liszt raised his eyebrows, it seemed that someone was not very convinced by his salary arrangement, "I will put an end to this kind of gossip." ”
"No, Lord Baron, I don't mind that. ”
After Paris finished speaking, she said goodbye and left in style to go on a free mission.
But Liszt did not forget what she had said, and called directly to the butler Carter: "Mr. Carter, do you know that some people in the town complain that Paris is overpaid?"
"I'm sorry, sir, I don't seem to notice this. ”
"If you go out, don't forget to ask the town officials more about what they have said. If there's discord content, tell me quickly. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
After instructing Carter's butler, Liszt planned to investigate slowly.
When he was the only one left in the study, and picked up the milk tea on the table, his face quickly became gloomy.
"I'm not a tyrant, on the contrary, I'm a good talker, and as a lord I've never treated my followers badly...... If you have any questions, you can ask me in person, but is questioning my decision behind my back a challenge to my lordship's authority?"
