Seeing the group leave, the rest of the room breathed a sigh of relief. Including the female detective, there were only three of them, two men and one woman, and six opposite; It's a shame that these three people are not bad, otherwise they would have been beaten down a long time ago.

"Thank you!"

Motioning to her companion to tidy up the messy office, the handsome-looking female detective came to Charles, looked at the group of people who had left outside, and said, "These people are relatives of the bald policeman, I investigated deeply, and I accidentally provoked him." ”

"I'm sorry." Saying that, Charles didn't have any apologies on his face.

Collecting money to do thingsCollecting money to do things, the two are completely in an employment relationship, since Charles has spent money, he only needs to wait for the result, and it is none of his business if something goes wrong in the middle - it is not a personal relationship.

"If the lady were more ladylike, I might think I'm a hero saving beauty," he said half-jokingly, looking at the female detective with a bruise on her face.

"A lady would do this?" The female detective chuckled, then motioned for Charles to sit down and talk, and she found the kettle from the messy field and poured Charles a cup of black tea: "You're here to ask about the results?" ”

"yes, how's the investigation?"

"Wyle. Rosen, 46, served as the first officer of the Royal Navy Blue Bird in Turin with the rank of lieutenant, and was invited by the mayor of Pita to serve as the sheriff of the Pita City Police Department after retiring from the army. Currently residing in ......"

I didn't see any draft, but the female detective seemed to know everything in her chest, and she kept spitting out all the information.

Charles listened quietly, not interrupting her.

So after talking about the bald sheriff, she moved on to the other findings.

"There is nothing particularly important in Canyon Town these days, except for the fact that the local mayor has married a third wife, and the young son of the blacksmith family has left the town for the big city to seek development, only to be reduced to begging and returning miserably."

"Far away, they had prevented and driven an heir to the barony from an alien position into the castle," the female detective took a special look at Charles, but did not see any special change in his face, and continued, "It is said that this is because the local people are convinced that there is a sleeping demon hidden in the castle, and anyone who enters it will awaken it and start killing. ”

"The church is not doing anything about it?"

"Yes, but nothing has been found."

"So there's someone doing it again." Charles pursed his lips secretly.

Ignoring Charles's displeasure, the female detective said to herself: "Baron Madame Rhine was born in a certain noble family in the capital, inherited the family business from a cousin of her mother in her early years, never married, died of a heart attack, and died without anyone else except a girl adopted two years ago, she usually loves ......"

……

"I heard that Madame Rhine seemed to be trying to treat her adopted daughter some time before her death"

The detective's last words still echoed in his ears, and after coming out of the detective's office, Charles fell into deep thought.

But from this information, he could only see that the townspeople in Canyon Town were instructed by someone, and there was nothing useful about it, but Charles could understand his situation somewhat.

"Maybe there will be a church?" Thinking about the question of inheriting the title, Charles kept pondering.

Since the church didn't find anything, it is estimated that there will be no so-called demons in it, and those townspeople must have been instructed by someone to be so xenophobic.

Regardless of who instructed them for the time being, as long as they entered the castle and took out the family tokens, the people who inherited the title naturally did not dare to stop the so-called "outsiders" anymore.

In today's kingdom, although the rights of the nobility are no longer the same as the lord, there are still many privileges, and these privileges are also destined to make some ordinary people dare not rashly provoke aristocratic families, even if they are down-and-out families.

"When the purification is done, I will go to the church, and by the way, mention this." With that in mind, he put the news aside for the time being.

His purification mantra cultivation went smoothly, and it was estimated that it would not be long before he became fully proficient, and then it would be another test.

Would the use of spiritual language directly in reality be attacked in that way? Charles wasn't sure, but there was at least a half chance of it. And if there is no such half chance, then it is better to think about how to escape as soon as possible, let alone think about the succession of titles.

After leaving the detective office, he did not return home, but walked directly to the watch shop.

It was still the old man with the monocle who received him, and there seemed to be no one else in this small shop except him.

After a little pleasantry, Charles took out the black crystal and placed it on the table.

"Elemental crystallization?"

The old man picked it up and began to look at it, but without looking closely, he came to a conclusion.

"This thing has many uses, ritual magic, auxiliary spell casting, enchantment alchemy, and inscription of secret texts to form crystal instruments, etc."

"Is it worth the money?" Charles asked impatiently.

"It's not too high-end, but because it's scarce, it's worth a lot, and if you want to sell it, I can buy it for three pounds a pound, and if you want to use it yourself, you have to have a set of secret texts that fit."

"Secret text?"

"The secret text is the knowledge that spellcasters focus on, it's a magical text that you can't touch right now, but-"

"You give me this thing, and I'll give you a whole set of matching secret texts, the kind you can use now."

Before the old man could finish speaking, a loud voice suddenly came from behind him, and he turned his head to see a brown-black skinned mountain man walking in.

The mountain man is similar to the black man in Charr's memory, tall in appearance and with black skin, but it is not particularly black, it can basically be called wheat-colored.

The approaching mountain man was richly dressed, fat, and had bare cheeks covered with meat, and his eyes were so small that he was staring at the spar in Charles' hand with those small eyes.

He should be a regular visitor here, but the owner here doesn't give him a good look

"Eddie, don't think I don't know what you're up to, this kid is from the church."

"The church?" Hearing this, the guy named Eddie flashed with disappointment on his face: "Forget it, the people in the church can't afford to mess with it." ”

As he spoke, he was about to walk into the side corridor of the watch shop's counter, when Charles suddenly stopped him: "Do you have a supporting secret?" ”

"Of course." Eddie glanced at him with interest.

"Can it be exchanged? The kind you just said. ”

"Normal trading? Then you'll have to take at least ten of these things. ”

"Ten bucks?" Charles turned his head to look, and the boss shrugged

After a moment's thought, he said, "Where am I looking for you?" ”

Seeing his reaction, the guy named Eddie gave Charles an interested look, and then he said, "Just tell the old man here."

With that, he pushed the door open and stepped inside, out of Charles' sight.

Seeing Charles' thoughtful expression, the old man behind the counter shook his head slightly: "I'm not sure what you have to do with the church, but the one just now is definitely not a good person, if you are not a real church person, it is best not to make a deal with this person." ”

As he spoke, the old man suddenly asked curiously, "What is your relationship with the church?" New members? ”

"Perhaps, they told me to practice a spell called Purification," Charles shrugged, "What do you think that means?" ”

"That's obvious." The old man replied, looking at Charles with a glimmer of pity for some reason.

Charles didn't notice this, but he didn't stop his words, and said to himself: "It's a pity that my practice is very slow, and from time to time I can always encounter inexplicable sounds, which make people very irritable. ”

"It's called the Voice of Ulm, and anyone who learns the Church's magic must be put to the test by it, and it won't appear again until you're thoroughly familiar with the spell." The old man replied.

"Thoroughly familiar?" Seeing that this man seemed to have some understanding of the church, Charles couldn't help but mention the nature.

"It's just after the instant transformation."

"Is there a special way to skip this process directly?"

The old man shook his head: "That's impossible, can you become a master of sword wielding without training?" Reasoning counts, and so is your spirit. ”

"So we're chanting mantras like constant training?"

"That's right, the spell was abandoned altogether in the end."

"How do you cast a spell without a spell?"

"In fact, spells are only an early aid, and clever spellcasters rarely recite spells unless they perform sacrificial rituals." The old man replied patiently.
