The two of them, who had been in the town for a day, went round again in the 'black shop' in the evening.

"Strange, really weird. The lucky guy who dug up the gold mine didn't have any problems, and he hadn't been in contact with any suspicious people before. ”

As soon as he closed the door, Alan looked puzzled and said to Zhou Xiaoju, who had just hung the cloak on the hanger.

"Looks like you've used torture magic like the 'Puppet Dafa'. Let's talk about the story in detail, and I'll also take a closer look. See if you can find any clues. ”

After Allen's detailed description, Zhou Zhishu thoughtfully pointed his finger on the edge of the bed and put forward his own opinion: "Maybe he heard the news before, and it was spread by someone with a heart." In order to hide yourself, pushing the lucky gold mine owner to the front is also a good way to protect yourself! ”

For this kind of inference of Zhou's annihilation, Allen felt that it was not very likely. However, it is also a possibility. What frustrated him the most was not the vagueness of information on the gold mine owner's side, but the fact that he had found nothing all day.

"My lord, how was your harvest over there?"

Unlike Allen's search for suspicious targets, Zhou Xuanshu focused on the flow of grain and timber. Under the opening of the way by money, he really found a lot of useful clues.

The food problem alone is very abnormal.

After the dictation of those grain merchants, he had already confirmed his suspicions.

How could those local grain merchants not see that the town of Shack would gradually fall into the dilemma of food shortage? The keen grain boss has long wanted to take the opportunity to stock up on grain to make a big profit. It's just that the guys they send to buy grain elsewhere are either rejected by the 'low price'. Or they are blocked back by the reason that food reserves are insufficient. In short, there are all kinds of obvious reasons.

How could a grain merchant who was reluctant to let a business opportunity slip away under his nose like this would give up such a great opportunity? They think that big cities may not be easy to buy, and other towns should be easy to open, right? As a result, what I got was a document of a 'purchase restriction order'. Of course, these towns are all towns attached to the main city. Unlike Sarktown, it officially belongs to the city of Fryer.

"Chess players in the main city of Pedenora?"

It's no wonder that Alan guessed so much, he could really ban the outflow of food in the official face, except for the mysterious woman, Alan really couldn't think of anyone who would ban the outflow of food. After all, only as a double agent, she has the energy and the motivation to commit crimes.

"Not sure! Maybe these two things aren't related, it's just that I'm suspicious. Anyway, the sudden snow made the matter confusing. Spend another day in town, if there are no clues. We go to Pednora every day. ”

Allen, who was in a bad mood, looked very depressed. He decided to visit tomorrow from other sources to see what he had learned.

"Alan, you let the ghosts scout the gold mines tonight. I have a hunch that the breakthrough is likely to be there. ”

Zhou's words made Alan a little unimpressed. He thinks that since the lucky mine owner can't find anything, what can be seen in the developed gold mine? However, since it was proposed by his own adult, he still has to carry it out.

In the middle of the night, Alan prepares and controls the newly summoned ghost to the unearthed gold mine.

Because of the lack of work at night, the interior of the gold mine is pitch black. Fortunately, Alan didn't count on the Communication Stone, but instead used spirits to hook up the ghosts, and explored the inside of the gold mine through the undead vision unique to the controlled ghosts.

After a round of investigation, nothing was found except for the pits that had been hewn.

Alan, who withdrew from the vision of the undead, spread his hands and said, "My lord, I haven't found anything!" It seems that there are times when your feelings go wrong! ”

"Talking about the process of investigation, my intuition is rarely wrong now!"

Seeing that his adults were still not giving up, Alan told Zhou Xuan, who frowned, what he saw one by one.

Zhou Xuan, who was sitting on the bed and thinking about it for a while, suddenly flashed a glimmer of light in his eyes, raised his head suddenly, and asked in a somewhat eager tone: "Didn't you use the ghost to penetrate the wall and try to expand the scope of searching?" ”

"My lord, do you suspect that everything in this gold mine has been excavated, so the people behind the scenes used this 'undiscovered' gold mine to lure people to the bait?"

Finding that Alan was following his train of thought, Zhou Zhishu nodded directly without concealing it, and said affirmatively: "That's right, I think so." When searching, be sure to expand the scope! ”

"Good!"

Allen, who controlled the ghost remotely again, moved from left and right to downward according to Zhou Xuan's instructions, and finally let him discover an old hole.

"My lord, I guessed it! Give me some time, and I'll explore this old pit and see if I can give us some clues! ”

Looking at Allen, who couldn't wait to track down the clues, Zhou Xiaosheng scolded with a smile and said 'stinky boy' and stopped disturbing Allen, who refocused on connecting with the ghost search.

Not long after, the gloom on Allen's face dissipated, and the whole person said to Zhou Zhishu with some excitement: "My lord, this old gold mine was actually excavated by the previous dynasty. However, due to the war at the time, this gold mine was historically 'blank'. Moreover, it has undergone a collapse. However, to my surprise, the last group of victims who were buried left behind a parchment roll before they died, explaining the cause and effect. ”

"It seems that Alan only learned about that information after looking through the parchment scroll. Your necromancer's ability is convenience, and ghosts, the undead who can transform into virtual and real, are simply the best searchers. ”

Zhou Xuanshu paused for a moment when he said this, and then asked, "Does that parchment scroll record the identity of the person who knows this mine?" ”

"That's right, because the previous dynasty here in the Miracle Snow Field has the same sub-sealing system as the Enrith Continent, according to what is recorded on the sheepskin. This gold mine belonged to the Viscount Rosemary, who ruled here at the time. And, if nothing else, we can find this family among the nobles of the present kingdom. After all, at that time, this family was the money bag of the original rebels, that is, the current royal family of the country. ”

"It seems that my guess is really good. All of this was done by the kingdom in cooperation with the woman. ”

Zhou Xuan's speculation, Alan also agrees. However, what puzzled Alan was why the kingdom worked so hard to cooperate with that woman to make a big show. In Alan's opinion, this is of no use other than to lure the barbarian army to besiege the main city of Pedenora. Is it worth the price?

There is one more thing that Alan has not yet had time to explain. On the parchment roll, another amazing secret is recorded. The true allegiance of the Rosemary family is to an organization called the Raven's Eye.
