Chapter 379: Investigation
In a lavishly decorated French mansion somewhere in the Holy City.
The stone statue placed in a study suddenly became active...... Cracking sound! As the small boulder fell to the ground, a gray stone foot stepped on the ground.
Just finished 'transfer'.
The Mystic Stone One fell to his knees.
"My lord, the matter of 'transporting cement' may have been revealed...... There are two special midshipmen who have learned about Cement, and it is very likely that they will continue to pursue it. ”
At the desk, the mysterious man crossed his fingers on his chest.
"Special?"
"They have a contamination trait similar to mine, and they kill the 'stones' I control in an instant...... In addition, one of them also has the ability to detect and find 'stones'. ”
"Trainee knights with out-of-town attributes, have you recorded their appearance?"
"There is an element of camouflage in it, and the appearance information does not mean much...... This time, I came to my lord to ask for your approval of my actions.
I'm going to get rid of the 'risk' completely, after all, it will take a few days to complete the project.
If they continue to investigate, they will find that the "project" matter will be in trouble. ”
"Hmm...... Hurry up and go.
In addition, if the strength level of the two trainee knights is not very strong, capture them alive as much as possible.
I'm interested in these two apprentice knights who have connections outside the city. ”
"Yes."
The "Secret Stone One" reverted to a normal stone sculpture in the study, and his consciousness was gone.
The mysterious man slowly got up and walked to the window.
Standing at the current window, you can see half of the civilian area...... If you zoom out, you will find that the French mansion described by this person is completely shrouded in a camouflage barrier.
A few crows could only be docked outside the house, seemingly monitoring the situation.
If the crow stays for more than a minute, it will be shot down by the doorman with a musket.
"Due to my intervention, the Knights' investigation has been limited, and the hidden nature of this demon is ...... For at least two weeks, the Order will not be able to detect anything.
I didn't expect to be found out 'cement' by the two apprentices, it's really interesting.
It seems that it is necessary to make preparations to discard the chess pieces...... After all, this was an experimental attempt. Judging from the current attempts, the [loopholes] of the Holy City are not ordinarily large.
As long as there is no big movement and the use of power to interfere, the investigation of the Knights will be greatly hindered.
Take your time, and when the Great Expedition comes, the day when the big men go out of the city to fight, is the time for me to really do it...... Moreover, the two boys who came out of this incident are very interesting.
'They' might be useful to me.
The only thing that troubles is the crow in the Holy City...... Otherwise, I can go and catch those two boys myself. ”
…………
Han Dong has already conveyed the information of the 'stones' that have been discovered so far to all the members of the team.
Subsequently.
Abel is in a group with Cass.
Mia and Wen Li in a group.
Wino Knights are a separate group and begin to contact the secret organizations in the civilian area, using various hard-line methods to obtain the 'cement delivery point'.
Once enough information has been gathered, everyone will gather in this underground tavern.
Waiting for everyone to scout the information while.
Han Dong has different information from Demps...... According to the markings on the map, come to the point where the underground tavern recently delivered cement.
It is located in a civilian residential area with dense housing construction.
The civilians in this vicinity were examined by Han Dong's eyes, and there were no 'stones' in their bodies.
A copper coin was stuffed into the hand of an old man who looked more intelligent and had lived here for a long time.
"Uncle, someone should have transported cement here recently, right?"
The old man who got the copper coin was naturally very cooperative.
"Yes, several large boxes of cement were brought here yesterday...... Workers soon arrived at the scene. They behaved strangely, though. ”
"What's this strange method?"
"They removed some of the stone walls that didn't need to be repaired and refilled them with new cement...... It looks the same as the original. ”
"Can you take us to the repaired stone wall?"
"Absolutely...... It would be better if the two rich lords could give me an old man a little more good. My wife is sick and depends on me to pick up garbage outside. ”
A copper coin was handed over.
The old man immediately did not have a pain in his waist and did not sore, and took Han Dong and the others to the stone wall area that was constructed yesterday.
"This is it."
"Is there anything else you think is wrong to report?" Han Dong took out a copper coin again.
"This ......" The old man thought for a long time, but he really couldn't think of anything, staring at the copper coin with a greedy face.
"If not, please leave, you haven't seen us today."
Demps is proficient in all spells, including the rare illusion system, and knows a thing or two...... For such ordinary people, it easily works.
When the old man left, Demps turned to look at Han Dong, who was already carefully observing the stone wall.
"Did you find anything?"
"The stone walls seem to be used to separate the inside and outside of the building...... Actually, there is no need to exist. Why tear down the original intact walls and rebuild them?
The answer lies in this new wall. ”
Han Dong used the plague short sword in his hand to cut a hole in the stone wall.
It can be seen that there are other things mixed inside the cement wall, and dense pebbles are embedded in the inside.
"When they were with cement, they added little stones like this...... If I'm not mistaken, this kind of small stone is probably the same type as the stone that lives in the human body. ”
Han Dong used his left arm to buckle off a pebble inside and squeezed it a little harder.
Hiss!
Immediately a round-toothed mouth grew on the surface of the pebbles and tried to bite Han Dong.
But.
The next second, the stones immediately turned into gravel and drifted away with the wind.
"This ......," Demps' countenance turned unsightly, "if the whole civilian area were filled with such stone walls...... The consequences are unimaginable. ”
Han Dong added, "If these stone walls are filled in a certain way, or if they can continue to multiply, the Holy City may be in chaos because of this."
It is necessary to gather information quickly to confirm the connection between the different cement sites. ”
Just as Han Dong tried to get in touch with his teammates with a clockwork device to ask about progress.
Didi ......
The internal circle of the clockwork watch is invalid.
Suddenly.
The stone wall that the two were investigating suddenly reflected a large number of hollow and desperate faces, and there was a continuous overflow of rubble from the facial features of these faces.
Such images can cause great visual pollution to living beings.
But Han Dong and Demps were not affected.
"Sure enough...... We're one kind. ”
A deep voice came from behind the two of them.
With his excellent visual ability, Han Dong has retreated at the first time.
Temples, on the other hand, was drawn to the terrifying face on the stone wall and moved half a beat slower.
The body was hit from the side.
Click!
The magic shield was directly shattered, and the body was knocked out more than ten meters away, and there was the sound of various bones breaking.
