Chapter Seventy-Three: The Trap

Previous Chapter

After breakfast, the streets of Crow Town were already quite lively, and Haaland's father came to inform.

"Mr. Austin, the house has been built."

Rushing to the construction site, the two wooden houses have been built, the log-colored walls still exude a strong smell of wood, and after inspecting the two buildings, the final payment was made to Haaland's father and the workers.

Ram was already there, and Ronin instructed Ram to move all the batteries into one of the wooden buildings intended to be used as the power company's offices.

Workers were recruited to move the books and items that had been placed in the classrooms to another wooden building, which would later become the children's new school.

"Ram, in addition to this, you have to recruit employees as soon as possible, and you are responsible for the operation and management of the power company." Luo Ning instructed Ye Nifu's nephew to start recruiting employees.

Ram was a little embarrassed and reminded in a whisper.

"The Black Iron Army will come tomorrow, so we have to leave this afternoon, and these things can only be arranged when the Black Iron Army comes back after they leave."

The Black Iron Army will be here tomorrow......

This sentence made Ronin excited, and the time was less than a day, but so far Franklin had not brought back useful information.

If Franklin is still nowhere to be seen before the arrival of the Black Iron Army, the witch will have to face a relatively mysterious enemy with a 50% win rate, which is not good news.

Back inside the house, the witch was contacting the use of magic, and it was clear that Cheryl had not forgotten the information that the Black Iron Army would be here tomorrow and was working hard.

The bounty hunter fiddled with the wood in the stove, after all, this was a witch's inevitable event, even if he knew that he could not directly participate in the battle.

Luo Ning sat at his desk and watched the two of them, and after a moment there was a squeaky sound above his head.

Glancing up, he quickly got up and returned to the office where the Parrot Flight Express Company was.

Soon after, Franklin climbed off the roof, and there were a lot of rats, and the rats were holding on to the scraps of paper, which Franklin placed on his desk.

"We couldn't carry his diary, so we chewed it up and brought it over."

A large number of scraps of paper were placed on the desk, almost piling up the desktop, and Luo Ning looked at the scraps of paper for a while, and it was not easy to put them together.

But it was better than no information at all, and Ronin began to piece together on the table alone.

It took about two hours to finally piece together a piece, put the pieces of scraps aside and continue to put them together.

Due to time constraints, lunch and dinner were simply abandoned, and more diaries were pieced together, but there were more scraps of paper.

I got up and stretched, it was already late at night outside the window, and when I walked out of the office, the Parrot Flight Express Company was already empty, and there was no one to see on the street in the dark night.

I went around in a circle at night and went back to the office.

It would take at least a week or so to piece all the information together, and it would certainly not help the witch in the battle.

Standing at the table and thinking for a moment, Ronin decided to pick and choose, finding the scraps of paper that seemed to have important information, and then piecing them together.

Start looking inside the massive pile of shredded paper, starting with the parts that have the drawings, which are most likely the ones that Akins carved about his Destiny card.

In addition, there is a mention of shredded pieces of paper about the words of the new power system, and these pieces of paper may be pieced together to have a record of the content of the new power system.

In the end, more than 100 pieces of shredded paper were selected, and the workload was still not small, and the next step was to use more than 100 pieces of shredded paper to piece together.

"Akins loves to keep a diary so much......"

Time passed minute by minute, and some of the content pieced together, although it was said to involve the new power system, was mostly information that had nothing to do with Akins' second career.

As for the pattern part, most of the patterns pieced together are some primitive fate cards in terms of the new power system, and Akins also knows very little about the new power system, and he is still learning about it, and the progress of understanding is not even as good as his own.

When there was still half of the shredded paper left on the table, there was the sound of footsteps outside the room.

Luo Ning paused for a moment, walked out of the office, and arrived in the lobby of the Parrot Flying Courier Company, where he could see soldiers in black iron armor through the window.

The Black Iron Army had already arrived, and the sky was white at the moment, and it was already early the next morning.

Quickly returned to the office and looked at the scrap of paper that was still half left, so he picked up a piece of paper from it, and quickly pieced together half of the last piece of paper with the idea of trying it one last time.

"Thieves...... My original Destiny card is called Thief ......"

There was only this short content, and Luo Ning wanted to continue piecing together when there was a crisp knock on the door outside the house.

Quickly put all the scraps of paper into the drawer, straighten up his clothes and walk out, and after calming down, open the wooden door of the Parrot Flying Express Company.

At the door were the soldiers of the Black Iron Army.

"Mr. Austin, Commander Akins wants you to come to the house where I saw you before."

Ronin nodded, went out and closed the door, and followed the soldier to his old house, thinking about how to pass on the information he had obtained to the witch next.

If Akins hadn't come yet, there would be no need to worry about these questions.

Returning to the door, nodding to the soldier, and pushing the door in, Akins sat at his desk in the room, staring at the bounty hunter sitting by the fire.

The bounty hunter held a badge in his hand, the emblem of the Silver Brotherhood of Dawn, which he should have just shown to Akins to confirm his identity.

As mentioned in "Research on the Origin, Beliefs, Development, and Relationships of Religious and Magical Organizations", the Silver Brotherhood of the Dawn remains neutral and has no relationship with any other organization, so the rest of the organizations are also neutral towards the members of the Brotherhood of the Silver Dawn, and will neither help nor initiate revenge.

The witch had disappeared, and presumably Akins had gone into hiding when he entered, waiting for an opportunity to sneak up.

The only place in this house that can hide a person is the bedroom, or......

Ronin looked up at the beams, and there was no figure visible on the top of the empty beams, so the witch should be in the bedroom.

Seeing the young man entering the door, Akins got up and looked calm.

"Mr. Austin, do you have a relationship with the Silver Brotherhood of Dawn?"

Ronin put his finger on his eyebrows, bent down and saluted respectfully, glancing at the bounty hunter sitting in front of the fire and stirring the firewood, the two of them should have communicated before, and if his statement was different from the bounty hunter's previous explanation, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

After a moment's hesitation, he simply kicked the ball to the bounty hunter.

"Mr. Quinin Carrick, didn't you just tell Mr. Akins about our relationship?"

The bounty hunter turned slowly and shrugged as the young man shrugged.

"As I said, we had some contact before, which can be regarded as friends, and as for the reason why Mr. Akins asked you, I think he can't trust me, or he can't believe that he is an ally of the Black Iron Army as a member of the Order Church."

This answer is very level, and if Akins continues to ask, it will confirm the bounty hunter's claim.

Akins smiled, his expression revealing a subtle hint of anger, and in a flash, he pointed to the chair in front of his desk.

"Sit down."

Now that Akins seems to be the owner of this place, Ronin glanced at the chair and turned to the bedroom door.

"Mr. Akins, wait a minute, I need to wash up, you're here a little early."

Walking into the bedroom, I saw the witch in the bedroom, and the witch was already fully armed and standing at the bedroom door.

Ronin casually handed over the shredded piece of paper about Akins, then walked over to the desk and took out a paper and pen to write the contents.

"Akins' original fate card is a thief, and like a bounty hunter, the thief gains the ability to have night vision, but it's unclear if his second class has been upgraded, but I'll find a way to create opportunities for you later, and if possible, I'll bring him to the bedroom, and you can do it."

After writing it, he handed the note to Cheryl.

Cheryl looked at the note and nodded.

Luo Ning now only hoped that the matter in front of him would end as soon as possible, turned around and went back outside, wiping his face with a towel.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Then take a seat across from Akins.

Akins looked away from the bounty hunter and looked at the young man seated in front of him.

"As allies, we have something very important to talk about, and your friends should avoid it."

He wanted to get rid of the bounty hunters, and the bounty hunters couldn't help with the next thing anyway, Ronin turned back to Quinine Carrick and nodded.

Quinine Carrick hesitated for a long time, then got up to leave.

Now that only Ronin and Akins were left in the room, the situation instantly became a little tense.

"De Jong is dead, now I need a new ally from the Church of Order, you can take his place after his death, Mr. Austin, how is the progress of your new power system, if you have awakened, I can give you a higher position, now I urgently need someone stronger to serve as my right and left hand."

Is this an inducement? However, Akins's level of lure is really childish and a little ridiculous, and this Black Iron Army is probably only good at solving problems with violence.

Luo Ning rubbed his eyebrows, pretending to be at a loss.

"My new power system has reached a bottleneck, and the dream gave me a hint that it was an item, and I only needed to understand the purpose of the item to awaken, but now it's stuck here."

Akins was visibly displeased.

Luo Ning paused and pretended to be excited, and stood up excitedly.

"You should know a lot about the new power system, and maybe be able to provide some useful information about the purpose of the item I awakened."

Akins hesitated and got up.

"Please follow me." Luo Ning walked in front, walked to the bedroom door and pushed it open, the scene in the bedroom came into view, and deliberately did not look at the witch on the side of the door.

The moment Akins' figure entered the bedroom, the witch's fingers were knotted and she chanted the incantation, and the moment the incantation took effect, a white air stream converged on Akins's body.

Akins' body quickly froze until it stiffened, like an ice sculpture.
