Chapter 536: Magic Blast: Intelligence
"How much?"
“... Five hundred crowns. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Rogette raised an eyebrow: "What?" You're kidding. What are you going to do with that amount of money? ”
Shoeshine Worker: "I'm going to expand the store, you know." I wanted a decent stall and a big sign. I'd like to have new boxes, new shoe shine, new brushes, and if I have some money left, I'll buy a stake in the laundry, and I'll have free waste water. ”
Rogert: "Well, you're doing a good job..."
Shoeshine: "Of course. All I need is capital. ”
Rogette: "Okay, I agree. ”
Shoeshine worker: "I can't thank you enough, I will never forget this kindness." Let's get to the point. I know who you're looking for, but I don't know his name. He was a regular and would come every few days to polish his boots. He was very nice to me and always gave me a lot of money. ”
Rogert: "Do you know where to find him?" ”
Shoe shiner: "I don't know... But you can wait here, maybe he will come and patronize. ”
Rogette: "I don't have time... You really don't know where to look for him? Maybe you've noticed which direction he's coming from? ”
Shoeshine worker: "When I polish my boots, I don't look up to see where people come from." I spend all my energy polishing my boots. ”
At this time, Regis walked over: "It looks like you've hit a wall..."
Rogette: "You're here. Feeling better? ”
Regis: "Much better, thank you." The air from the local shrine was quite useful to me. Sorry to intervene, I know what to say to be useful. ”
Regis took something out of his bag and said to the shoe-shiner, "Young man, do you see this bottle?" Just add a drop to your shoe-shine and your dirty boots will be as clean as the ceiling of St. Rebi beating the cathedral. With it, you'll be able to do more with less and triple the number of guests. I'm willing to give you this bottle as long as you tell me where the person we're looking for lives. ”
Shoeshine: "Uh... But... You're not going to hurt him, are you? That gentleman is a little weird, but he's a good guy. ”
Regis: "Actually, he's my friend. But we ran into a little trouble and we wanted to solve it with him. ”
Shoeshine Worker: "I'll leave his shoes at the door of a house near the port." The door is red, but I don't know if he lives there. ”
Rogette: "It's worth a look, and you might be able to find a clue." ”
Shoe shiner: "Can you clean the dirt on your shoes before you leave?" With all due respect, it's really time for the two gentlemen's boots to be cleared. ”
Regis: "Thank you, I'll talk about it later." ”
Rogette and Regis lead the players to the door that the shoeshine said. Run two streets and turn the corner.
Rogert: "The red door, the kid said that." ”
Rows of crows were parked on the roof of the house, and the door was locked from the inside and could not be opened. Rogette tries to knock the door open, but Regis stops him.
Regis: "Why don't you just stand on the road and beat the drums and shout 'Tirav, we're coming for you!'" ’。 I beg you, don't be so coarse. ”
Rogette: "Do you have any other way?" ”
Regis nodded, randomly transformed into a cloud of black mist, drifted into the room through the window, and opened the door from the inside.
Rogette: "Awesome. Ever considered being a thief? This trick is quite useful. ”
Regis: "I did think about it, but then I thought it was too boring to be a thief. ”
A group of people entered the house. The room was dimly lit and had an indescribable atmosphere.
Rogert: "He's right here?" Can you feel it? ”
Regis seemed to smell the scent: "He's not here." But he's been here recently, and his smell is still strong. ”
Rogert: "Let's take a look?" ”
Regis nodded. So everyone scattered and searched.
There was a pile of old toys and a letter on the table.
"Dear Mr. Toy Store Owner,
I've been asking my mom and dad to buy toys for me for a long time, and my mom always cries that we don't have any money. Every time I asked my dad when he would make money, he would get angry and at one point almost hit me. My friends all have nice toys, Lola has a teddy bear, and Michelle has a blonde doll and her hair can be combed with a real comb.
I'm so worried that I'll never have toys to play with, so I'm writing to Mr. Boss now. I wanted to write this letter a long time ago, but I couldn't write then, and now I can. If you have a beautiful toy that other kids don't want, you can give it to me, and the toy and I will be happy. Please don't laugh at me, I'm still a child, but I also know that toys are not really alive, they are just imaginations. But so what? I'm going to love it... Isa. ”
It turned out to be a children's toy store. It's full of toys, some damaged, but there are signs of recent repairs.
A group of people came to the attic, which was more like Tilaff's lair. He must have lived here. There is a portrait of a woman on the wall, I don't know if it's the person he loves.
Rogette: "It reminds me of someone... But I'm not sure. I always feel like I've seen this face before. Tang Tu also felt familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
The player finds a letter on the table next to it: "Tirav. Eratan, you don't know us, but we do know you... It's a vampire. We also know that your weakness is a woman named Rena Wade...
It's all clear. We'll tie her up and let the rats gnaw on her flesh. We'll skin her, but you can save her. You just need to go to Bao Koran and kill five people in the way we specified. You have to kill these people within three days. If you fail, the next letter will contain a symbol of your failure, which is your lover's finger. ”
Regis: "Look. This evidence proves that Tirav's killer was not willing, but was coerced and controlled. ”
Rogert: "Do you have any ideas?" Does Tirav have enemies? ”
Regis: "It's true that Tilaff occasionally had a feud with someone, but they didn't live long. ”
Rogert: "Maybe someone escaped from him." ”
Regis: "It's possible... But I can't even think of one. The person who tried to blackmail him must be quite dangerous and terrifying. You've seen Tilaff with your own eyes, and you know it. Whoever it is, it can't be his old vendetta. ”
Rogette: "Who is Rena Wade?" ”
Regis: "His ex-lover and the only human woman he's ever come close to." Because she accepted him. With her care and assistance, he finds his place in a hostile world. She started the job I took over. ”
Rogette stared at the portrait on the wall for a long time: "Have you seen her?" ”
Regis: "I haven't seen it. Hey, she abandoned him shortly before he came to save me, but he kept saying she was missing. ”
Rogert: "Why does he think that?" Are there any signs or clues? ”
Regis: "Not at all. She suddenly disappeared one day, and with her belongings gone. It's not like being kidnapped at all. From my humble point of view, she left on her own, perhaps scared away by the monstrous nature revealed by Tiralf's anger. ”
Rogette: "Did Tilaff accept her leaving?" ”
Regis: "Of course not. Do you know any human who can leave everything behind? Tirav's emotions are much richer than most humans. She was not just his lover, beloved, and companion, but also his compatriot. No one will leave his compatriots voluntarily. ”
Rogert: "Even if it was really Rena Wade who abandoned him that time, it looks like she was kidnapped this time." ”
Regis: "I agree. I can't predict what he'll be willing to do to get her back. ”
Rogette: "He's definitely willing to be a killer, there's no doubt about that. ”
Regis: "You'd be willing to do that for Yennefer, too." He killed her because he genuinely cared about her, the blood, the people... It's nothing to him at all. ”
Rogert: "I see, he's going to save one of his fellow women. Well, someone is trying to blackmail him, that's been determined. But we didn't know who it was, so we had to look around. The tools here have all been used recently. Will Tilaf come to repair toys and relax after killing people? ”
Regis: "Please, Rogette, don't joke at this time. ”
Rogette touched a doll and a music box on the table. The music flows out of the music box.
Regis: "This piece reminds me of my hometown... It was our home before the rendezvous. ”
Rogette found some notes: "Look, it's a note, each with a name on it... The Counts of Cresp, the Counts of Dulac, the Earls of Nilton, and the Counts of Raqua..."
Regis: "All of them were victims of Tilaff, but that's not his handwriting. ”
Rogette: "It must be the sender's handwriting." It's all written in the same ink... See the color? The ink was dyed with cinnabar. This mineral is very rare, and it is produced only in the following places..."
Regis: "Nazel." But that doesn't mean anything, anyone can bring this ink into the principality. ”
Rogette: "That's true, but it's worth remembering. You see, this note has stains... It's a red wine stain. It doesn't mean much, especially in the hands of the Paucran people. ”
Regis: "Maybe... But this is perhaps also worth remembering. ”
Rogert: "I'm kind of curious about who's trying to blackmail him..."
Regis: "Why? ”
Rogert: "Regis... Someone kidnapped a vampire's lover, and that's bold enough. Now they still force vampires to kill, and you insist that he will never kill easily. The skills of the people behind the scenes are very high, and they are certainly not ordinary people. ”
Regis: "Reasonable assumption. Now that I think about it, I start to wonder if it's..."
Rogert: "Could it be your kind?" Did another vampire do it? ”
Regis: "That's right, the mystery has deepened again. ”
Rogette: "It's just a hypothesis, don't assert it until you know more information." ”
Regis: "You're right. ”
Rogette: "Let's sort out the information we have. First of all, Tilaff was blackmailed. The victim's name was given to him by someone else. All names are written in the same Nezel ink, and the handwriting is not his. There is not much intelligence. ”
Regis: "But it's enough to judge Tilaf's innocence, obviously. ”
Rogert: "That's true. Tilaff was manipulated, and a madman used him as a tool to kill people. ”
Regis: "Looks like so. But this information has helped us to open the way. We've got to find Rena Wade so they don't have a handle to threaten him. The madman would have no way to control Tirav anymore. ”
Rogert: "That's a way to do that, too... Well, maybe it's worth a try. But... What about Tiraf? When I go to his lover, will he continue to kill? ”
Regis: "Don't worry. I'll convince him not to act rashly and make sure you're on our side. I'll wait for him here, he'll be back sooner or later. ”
Rogert: "Do you think he'll listen?" ”
Regis: "He will." ”
Rogert: "Maybe I should stay and wait with you." ”
Regis: "No. He senses your presence from a mile away, and then he doesn't even show up. I'd better wait by myself, trust me. ”
Rogette: "Okay. I'll have to report to the Duchess first. ”
Regis: "So be it. Tirav and I will be waiting for you here. ”
So, Regis stayed. Rogette leaves with the players. The duchess was found. The bald captain was talking to the Duchess and shouted hello when he saw Rogette.
Captain Baldhead: "Oh roar, Rogette of Leah, Demon Hunter. I was right, trouble always comes with you. ”
Rogert: "Get out of the way, I've got something to look for the Duchess." ”
The Duchess walked over: "You're finally here, Demon Hunter. We've been waiting for you. Have you caught the killer of Nilton? ”
Rogert: "This case is more serious than we thought. I can't kill the beast, I missed. ”
Duchess: "We sent you to hunt monsters, and you returned empty-handed?" We were quite disappointed. ”
Rogert: "It's not that simple. The beast is a powerful vampire. ”
Captain Baldhead: "Is that a problem?" Is this too much for a demon hunter to deal with? Obviously, everyone knows how to deal with vampires. Lure him into the sun, or take a pile of garlic, or pierce his heart with a stake. ”
Rogert: "Garlic doesn't work on vampires, and sunlight and stakes can't hurt them." These methods are only fabricated out of thin air, and only work in legends and fables. ”
Duchess: "Where's the rhamnosa?" When I was a child, Elder Mata's grandmother used to say that ratthorn grass could keep away vampires. ”
Rogette shook his head: "The Silver Sword is the best option to banish vampires. But it's not that simple to kill vampires, only high-level vampires can kill high-level vampires. ”
