Chapter 674: Piecing together clues
"Soto, you walk around here and see if there's any suspicious person or thing."
"Hmm." Soto nodded, and three shadow clones split apart.
"Squirrel, Amber, you go and check all the registered mercenary groups, if there is anything worth noting."
"Deliberately tear us apart, huh." The squirrel pulled Amber and walked away the other way.
Sherlock and Cindy were left behind, and the two headed for the Society's Mandate Office.
Cindy walked aside and casually asked, "Do you have a good relationship with the squirrel?" “
"It's not bad, but this person is a drama spirit, nine out of ten sentences are fake, don't be deceived by her." Sherlock explained.
"Oh." Cindy smiled without a trace, raised her head and said, "I'm an actor, I naturally know whether I'm acting or not." “
"I almost forgot." Sherlock suddenly thought, "Your first movie when you were ten years old seems to have won Best Supporting Actress." “
"Actually, I was only nine years old at the time."
"When I was nine years old, I seemed to be picking up garbage in the Fifth Ring Road."
"Then it seems that your garbage picking skills are good." Cindy said playfully.
"It's okay, I was also the owner of the title of 'Garbage King' back then." Sherlock recalls his past experience, but there is a hint of nostalgia.
The two talked and laughed, and soon came to the entrusted management office of the Mercenary Guild.
All commissions of the Mercenary Guild need to be accepted, classified, and rated by the management office before they are released, and they will be returned here for settlement after the commission is completed.
Therefore, if you want to investigate the commission information in recent days, the staff of the management office is the most suitable person.
"I'm sorry, your Phoenix Thorn Mercenary Group has just been established, and the level is only E, and according to the regulations, you can't query the entrustment information in batches." The staff of the management office was cold and said nothing.
"Help, brother." Sherlock quietly handed out a small piece of gold.
"Sorry, it's the rule, there's nothing I can do." The employee said righteously.
Sherlock thought it would be a 'real incense' game, but no matter how much he raised the price, he couldn't shake the other party's decision.
Seeing this, Cindy, who was staying on the side, finally couldn't help but shake her head, walked to the front of the stage and said, "Little brother, help us, we really need these materials." “
Hearing the sound and looking up, seeing Sindy's cold face, the employee's attitude immediately changed, but after a little hesitation, he changed his words and agreed: "You can only watch." ”
"No problem."
The warriors who can't beat money can't even bear a word from Cindy.
Such a stark distinction is not surprising to Sherlock, who is familiar with the game's setting.
In order to improve her appearance, Cindy has invested a lot of attribute points in her charm.
With her high charm attributes and already extremely high appearance, combined with the talent of a group of jealous people and the professional characteristics of the troubadour, her ability to negotiate is indeed unsurpassed by no one except for Shuni.
Having got what he wanted, Sherlock wasted no time, and waited for the rest of the three to return to the agreed meeting place, the Viper Bar.
"Well, did you find anything?" Starfire, who came back first, asked.
"Nothing special." Sherlock sighed, "What about you? “
"Almost, Jondas's caravan is not subordinate to the Santarin Society, so there should be no problem."
"Did the rest find anything?"
Everyone reported the information they had gathered one after another.
The library of the Virtuous Philosophy Institute began to allow outsiders to enter and read......
Tickets for the Maestro Murray Concert are on sale......
Simba City School of Magic was destroyed, and the Archon was assassinated......
Astound! The ancestral house of the beautiful mage Melisanda Cranier was burgled......
Psychiatric hospital secrets, several mentally ill patients mysteriously disappeared......
Two wrestlers on the street got into a fight, and the cause was ......
……
"What a mess this is." Ayim Khan only listened to two sentences and gave up, running aside to drink with Ken.
Naturally, a few girls were not interested in this kind of thing at all.
In the end, all that was still around Sherlock and Starfire was a serious Soto pretending to be seriously analyzing.
"Starfire, I saw something interesting." Sherlock said with a smile as he held a newspaper.
"DR 1962, fifteen years ago newspapers, so this is the city of Simba fifteen years ago."
"Hmm." Sherlock nodded, "And you look at the news. ”
"Information on the missing psychopath, Zebedast Frost, professional mage, lord of Rahil Village......" Starfire thought for a moment, "Rahil Village, so familiar with the name of the place. ”
"Good memory." Sherlock took out a map of the tower, pointed to one of the places, and said, "The village of Rahil is here." “
"Simba City's way to Jondas."
"That's right, and this Zebedast Frost is not only a mage, but also a local lord, what caused him to become a psychopath is really curious."
"I'll look it up." Starfire said and was about to get up.
"I'll go." Soto on the side held down the spark and took the initiative to ask for help.
"Do you know where to look?" Sherlock looked up.
"The Library of the Philosophy Academy." Soto didn't look back, waved his hand and disappeared in place as a cloud of black mist, maintaining his B grid as always.
"Next up is the theft of the beautiful mage Melisanta Cranier, and we need to know what she's missing."
Violet and Daenerys didn't need to say much, and after inquiring about Melicianta's address, they also left.
There is also the destruction of the Academy of Magic and the assassination of the Archon, and Amber responds.
As for the other incidents, both Sherlock and Starfire felt the need to chase them deeply.
Again and again to discuss the copy, again to analyze the intelligence, half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
It wasn't Soto who came back first, but the squirrels who never returned.
"I just wanted to ask, what are you doing?" Starfire poured the squirrel a glass of wine.
The squirrel gulped it down: "I saw the sign of the Dark Oath on the road, so I followed. ”
"What did you find?" Sherlock knew about it, of course.
"They have a big operation in the past few days, and I haven't inquired about the specifics yet, but I've gotten in." Squirrel said.
"So conscious." Sherlock was surprised.
"Otherwise, you will definitely hand over this kind of dirty work to me in the end anyway." The squirrel gave a blank look and complained.
"Who made your identity useful?" Sherlock smiled and comforted.
In the Forgotten Realms, players from the evil and chaotic faction like Squirrel Guiyu are simply the best candidates to go undercover.
Moreover, whether it was the previous Dragon Worship Cult or the current Dark Oath, both organizations greatly admired the power of dragons, so she could always easily blend in.
discussed the specific undercover arrangements with the squirrel, and the rest of the people finally came back one after another.
"Zebedast Frost was once a powerful mage and lord of the village of Rahil.
Later, I don't know what happened, I became insane, and I almost killed my former adventurers, and even my family and friends.
Eventually, Zebedast's last remaining friend, Alaba Craniel, took Zebedast and captured him, revoked his magic, and imprisoned him in a mental hospital. “
"Alaba Cranier and Melisanta Cranier, what's the relationship?" As soon as Sherlock heard the name, he knew he was wrong.
"Alaba Craniel is Melisanda's grandfather." Violet and Daenerys just walked in and said, "All they've lost is a shoddy staff. “
"Bad staff......" Sherlock didn't think it would be an ordinary bad staff.
"By the way, according to Melisanda, this staff is a relic of her grandfather." Daenerys added.
Hearing this, a gleam flashed in the eyes of both Sherlock and Starfire.
"Looks like we've found the main story." Starfire laughed.
"Hopefully it's not a coincidence." Sherlock turned to Amber and said, "Contact the ginseng fruit team and ask them to go directly to the village of Rahil to investigate Zebedast." “
In the 100-player team dungeon, the player's communicator is disabled, so it is necessary to agree on a meeting time and place in advance before everyone splits up.
As for the solo squad, the only way to communicate remotely is through Amber's Crystal Ball.
The crystal ball is the most important means of long-distance communication between the mages of the Feron Continent, but players have the convenience of a communicator, so they will naturally not waste skill points to learn related spells.
Amber, a veteran god, in order to better deceive ...... Divination, specially learned two levels, plus the attribute bonus of this excellent quality crystal ball itself, it finally barely meets the requirements of remote communication.
After a night's rest at Viper's Bar, the next morning, Sherlock's Phoenixhorn Mercenary Regiment escorted the caravan on its journey.
