Chapter 26: Confession (1)
December 1732 in the solar calendar Pamela Cabo town
Modelella, the leader of the Adventurers' Guild, is always waiting for the adventurers at the front desk of the guild. Few people know that the president actually had her own room in each branch, and even if she barely used it, it did exist.
Today is a rare day for her to rest, and it is also the first time in a long time that this room has welcomed its owner.
"Looks like you're really going to rest today?" Calvin saw Modrilla in the room through the crack in the door, and knocked politely on the door.
"Looks like you're really not going to let me rest. A strange voice from a puppet came from inside the room, "Come in." As she spoke, the door opened.
"It's also a rare time for me to use this gold medal privilege. Calvin stepped into the room with a smile on his face.
The rooms here are plainly furnished and clean, and they look like they are often cleaned. Although it is the president's room, the furnishings are nothing special, and compared to the knight's room, there is even a weapon rack missing.
"I'm sorry, I can't pour you tea right now. The puppet is lying on the bed with its eyes closed, and if it weren't for the movement of its mouth, it might be thought that it was asleep.
"You don't bury me. Calvin didn't drink tea, he sat down on the chair next to him, "Let's skip those pleasantries and get to the point, let's finish early, and you can rest early." β
When Calvin finished speaking, a magic rune appeared in front of him, and then Modryla's original voice appeared, "I'll use communication magic to communicate with you, so you won't be too uncomfortable to listen to." β
"Isn't your core unstable now, still using magic?" the knight was a little worried about Moderea's state.
"It's okay to this extent, and I can't stand my current voice, to use you humans as a metaphor, it's like a hoarse voice. β
"At least you gave a good speech. The knight's center of gravity shifted forward, and he rested his elbow on his thigh, "I think your words will increase the activity of the free man a lot this time." β
"I guess fifty percent, and there should be half of the cowards left. "The doll's point of view is different from that of the knight, and it is not particularly optimistic.
"Then you can scream this time with dragon's teeth, right?" Calvin frowned at the thought of the party.
"Well, they can't push it off this time, and according to Blue's character, he is also excited about this benefit. But...," said Modelella, pausing "for half of it, as I said, he's only going to send half of his people out hunting monsters at most, and it's impossible to send them all out." β
"Are these people enough for the monster crisis?" "No matter how many people there are, the key is whether the problem can be solved.
Modrilla was silent for a moment, "Reluctantly, at least it won't reach the worst end, it should." "I'm not sure about the puppet, the only thing I know for sure is that it will be extended for a while
"Now that things have eased up over there, let's talk about it here. Calvin said, getting up and sitting down on the side of the puppet's bed, a protective word looming around them, and he deliberately lowered his voice, "Did you find any useful information in that puppet?"
"I'm still safe hereβ" Aware of the knight's troubles, Modelella's tone was a little grumbling.
"Be careful. Calvin said cautiously.
The puppet couldn't help him: "What I'm going to tell you next is bad news." β
"I've been mentally prepared for it, let's talk. Although he said this, Calvin's face still stiffened when he heard this.
"I was really surprised when I got my hands on the doll, and I immediately sent it to 'me' in the neighboring town to check it. It turned out that this doll was really special. β
"Its existence is special enough, is it the work of the people who forge the guild?" was the knight's initial conjecture.
"It's special here" The puppet added an accent to the word special, "This puppet is very rough in workmanship, and it is by no means the work of a dwarf, but the appearance is very expressive, and it can be fake and real, and it is not a dwarf and it can never be designed, this contradictory situation is very interesting." β
"Considering that it came out three at a time, plus the three that maintained the circle, that's a total of six. It should be possible to the extent of small-scale mass production, maybe there is a possibility of OEM?" The knight put forward another conjecture.
"You're saying that the dwarves are only responsible for directing and providing the design, and that the specific fabrication is done by the other races in the Black Rose?" said Modelilah, who seemed to have thought so in such detail.
"Yes. The knight nodded, "Do you think it's possible?"
"The possibility of such a possibility cannot be ruled out. The doll's tone is more affirmative, and it seems that she is also biased towards this conjecture" Because of this, it is a little difficult to find the source of this thing, if it is not made by him, there is naturally no personal characteristics of the craftsman in it, unless we can interrogate the personnel of that organization to find him. β
"Can't you search the Forge Guild directly?" the knight thought it should be the fastest and most thorough, much easier than finding the Black Rose's man.
"The character of the dwarvesβ" Modrilla said in a tone that was clearly full of contempt, "forget it, I won't say anything unpleasant, they won't agree anyway." β
Calvin could only smile bitterly when he heard Modryla say this, "What about the doll's magic core, is there any information in it?"
"The other party has erased most of its records, leaving only one sentence, which I guess was specially left for us by the other party. β
"What?"
"The overlord of the sky will reshape the world, and the self-righteous will tremble at it. "An inexplicable phrase, like a riddle, like a prophecy, maybe both?"
"Overlord of the sky?" the knight thought for a moment, but still shook his head, "What is this, I don't understand at all." β
"I didn't think of the answer either, who can be the overlord of the sky now, it's really inexplicable. Modrilla grumbled but was also distressed, because she felt that there should always be something to be said about it, "That's all the information on the doll, think about the riddle, maybe it hints at important information." β
"Did you find anything on the collar that put the vampire on?" Calvin ignored her advice, which seemed to him to be a meaningless remark. Or is it more important to have something in their hands, which must have hidden clues to the Black Rose.
However, Modrilla told him another bad news: "No, the power above must have been eliminated by some means, and now it's just an ordinary collar, without any power." It seems that Black Rose does not want to leave us with any clues to the breakthrough. Jasmine said helplessly.
"Thisβ" the knight sighed, "no clue?"
"Of course not, don't forget who I am. "I've been observing the Black Rose for a long time, but I haven't noticed anything until this time, and I suspect they can somehow hide my knowledge." So now that I'm giving up on those magic eyeliners, I've got some friends to help. β
"Are you looking for help?"
"Those guys have been looking for the Great Magister for so long, and they have not gained anything, this time let them find this black rose's lair, and there is no gain, I will consider breaking off relations with them. β
"No matter how experienced the thieves are in finding people, there is a limit, and it is indeed very difficult for them to trap the Great Magister in the place where they can trap them. "The knight tried to play the round.
"I looked back at the appearance of the three dolls, and found that their faces appeared in my previous records, and I have already handed over all this part of the information to the Thieves Guild, and I really don't know what else they can do with this thief. β
"You're so domineering..."
"Then what else do you think I can do, really~ The archmage is gone, have you done anything? It's not that I'm the only puppet who has worked hard to coordinate and organize an investigation into this matter, and now you still blame me for not being good? Do I owe you? Is it old Modrella who owes you? Or does the scholar sect owe you?"
Knowing that it was inappropriate to continue talking like this, Calvin hurriedly changed the subject, "That... Let me ask, will our bounty be distributed?" Calvin turned the subject as stiffly as Lot, and he was a little embarrassed when he said this, "After all, the town is all there..."
"Don't worry. "Modrilla also knows how to advance and retreat, since she has talked about this matter, she won't mention what she said just now, "It's rare that you will consider the bounty thing, lack of money?"
Calvin didn't say anything, just looked at the doll and smiled.
"It's Lott who is short of money, right?" the puppet snorted.
"Huh?" Calvin was a little surprised, "how do you know?" he thought for a moment, "what's wrong with that kid? Do you know why?"
"Don't ask about it, let him keep it a little secret. Modella lowered her voice when she said this, and then the next sentence was normal again, "I have already reported the truth to Queen Palinda, and she understands this, so the bounty should still be sent to you, in case it is really discounted, the guild will definitely make it up for you, you are so desperate, she won't give it to me." You can rest assured of this. β
"Secrets," Calvin nodded, "well, who doesn't have a secret?" β
"Who said it, I don't know. Jasmine snorted haha.
"Oh. Calvin smiled, "Then this time... How much money will it be?" he continued.
"120,000 gold coins, you, Kylia, and Lot divide it equally, how about it?"
"I'll give a portion of my bounty to Lot, I don't lack that anyway. Calvin said, "I didn't make much money by risking them both at the beginning. It's like Hopler, and he got a house with a garden. At the mention of the warrior, the expression on the knight's face became a little subtle: "If he doesn't get that house...."
