Chapter 222: Debriefing
“……”
After being stunned for a moment, Draenor let out a wry smile, and sure enough, the soothsayer was still a kind of merchant, and the commodity was still the most expensive and scarce. He was more and more sure that Caesar was a god who made his fortune on divinity, but at least the old man's abilities did solve the most difficult problems.
"This matter must be reimbursed by the guild!" Draenor muttered in a low voice, reluctantly untied the purse, and handed fifty gold coins to Caesar's hand.
"The materials are ready, the distance of the plague doctor should not be too far, it may only take five seconds......" After putting away the gold coins, Caesar shook his shoulders, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and gently pressed his finger against the fragment, concentrating on "tracking" the whereabouts of the plague doctor.
But a minute had passed, and Draenor saw Caesar still with his eyes closed, his brow twitching slightly, as if he had fallen into a terrible nightmare.
"Ahh Call...... ......Suddenly, Caesar withdrew his hand, clasped it tightly on his chest, and his upper body almost fell backwards, and quickly held on to the ground to regain his balance.
"What happened? What do you see? Draenor asked him nervously, the first time he had seen Caesar so panicked.
After a moment's respite, Caesar reached out to Lenlano with the hand that had touched the shards, as if to let him see the nightmarish scene with his own eyes, "Black...... Red...... It's all blood, I don't know how to describe it, get closer, and see for yourself......"
Where to go? Before the question could be spoken, the moment the cold fingers touched his forehead, it seemed that a thick fog mixed with the smell of blood suddenly came from in front of him.
The wind enveloped his body, swallowing up all the light that could be seen with the naked eye. Immediately after, several points of light jumped out of the darkness, and they flew irregularly like fireflies, leaving a trail woven into a scene:
It was a detached building shaded by trees, with a broken street sign reading "Stroud", which did not look like an apartment, perhaps a villa on the outskirts of Kerton. The dry and dense creeper vines spread along the main entrance to the top of the weather vane, tangled in the originally flexible arrowhead and fixed in the southeast direction.
Just as he looked at the villa, the image suddenly zoomed in, and like a bullet, Draenor's vision shot into a window that was open to the public. From that moment on, the color visible to the naked eye degenerated into scarlet without warning, and a goo resembling blood covered every wall, even the withered, blackened creepers that poured into the windows were dyed a blinding red.
Inside the room stood a man leaning against a metal table, holding a syringe filled with an unknown liquid. At the moment when the man stabbed the syringe down, Draenor faintly heard a miserable wail, and the locked metal table was not an instrument, but a man with his chest split open and his feet sewn with animal claws!
In the next second, the man in the black robe raised his head and slowly turned around, as if he had unintentionally turned around, showing an eerie smile towards the center of the picture, his lips slightly open, and his mouth seemed to be chanting the name of Draenor......
"You see ...... clearly"
The fingers on his forehead lost their texture, and with those colors and sounds, they were drawn back to Caesar's bosom, and when Caesar finished saying that, Draenor was silent for a long time, not knowing whether it was a question or a statement, but he was sure that he saw what was going on in the villa, and where it was all located.
"Strouder ......" he spat out the word, which was obviously the same name as the farm that Dino had visited before, but the captain did not mention such a villa, perhaps it was in a more remote suburb.
I didn't have time to be stunned, so I hurriedly told the rest of the guild the news, and I had to prepare for the tracking in time. Draenor fumbled in his pockets, the pager had been broken the night before, so he had to rent a carriage and rush to the guild.
"Wait a minute, don't be in a hurry." Just as Draenor got up to leave, Caesar stopped him and pulled a coin-sized metal cylinder from his bosom and handed it to him.
"Take this, it will help you when you can't find the truth."
Draenor flipped the cylinder from side to side and looked at it like a thickened monocular, not knowing what it would use.
After hastily thanking Caesar, he left the "Palace of Forgiveness" and walked out into the street, where the sun had crossed its highest point and he had to report it to the Sanhedrin.
Half an hour later, before the wheels could stop completely, he pushed open the door, showed the iron badge to the knights standing on either side of the stairs, and turned around and hurried into the guild hall.
It was a Sunday, and although there was no such thing as a holiday for the knights, it was too rare for everyone to be busy with work at this time......
"Draenor? It's not working hours yet, what are you doing here? ”
With that familiar voice in his ears, Draenor subconsciously turned his head, raised his head and ignored the staff around him, and his eyes fell on the captain leaning against the goalpost.
"But it's just in time, I just submitted an application for promotion, and by Monday, we'll be third-order knights!" Dino put away the scroll in his hand and slammed the end with the metal sleeve twice on Draenor's back.
The leather scroll seemed to draw something, and before the captain could react, Draenor snatched it away, and scribbled twice, it was a map of the Tello district.
"Don't think about any promotions yet, I've just been to Rasmod, and I've found the position of the epidemic doctor." Draenor glanced at the captain, drew a pen from the chest of a colleague passing by, looked carefully at the map for a moment, and made two strokes near the farm in the northwest corner, "This is it, near the Straud farm." ”
"Hey! I just bought this map! Wait a minute...... You what? Just as he was about to stretch out his hand to stop the other party, Dino was suddenly stunned for two seconds and scratched his ears exaggeratedly.
"The location of the plague doctor has been found...... Draenor repeated excitedly and patiently, shaking off the scroll and pointing to the area enclosed with graffiti, "I took the fragment of the plague doctor's mask to Caesar for help, and I couldn't be wrong, even I saw it with my own eyes this time, in the villa near the Straud farm!" ”
"Mud knows ......" Dino almost broke his voice, he quickly cleared his throat and regained his serious expression, and dragged Draenor's arm towards the staircase.
"Do you know how long I've been waiting for this moment? I have already reported the situation last night to the regiment commander, and I just made a battle plan this morning...... Don't be surprised, this is not a problem, the existence of epidemic doctors seriously threatens the lives of the surrounding residents. The higher-ups are even ready to use the entire investigation team to find the whereabouts of that guy even if they turn Kerton over...... With this discovery, we just need to find a suitable opportunity to wipe him out completely, you have done a great job, you know!? ”
Draenor felt confused, and with Instructor Reiner's words, the entire investigation team was exactly ten people, not to mention the presence of the humpback whale Amoro. Although he himself wished to be able to prepare for the operation earlier, he never imagined that the Knights would take this case so seriously.
"Wait a minute, where are you taking me?" Draenor asked with great effort, trying to keep up with the captain's pace.
"Do you still use it? What do you think everyone is doing downstairs? Dino grabbed the handrail and didn't go back to the tunnel, "Go to the conference room to report to your superiors, the meeting just ended half an hour ago, and it's too late to rush over!" ”
