Chapter Eighty-Six: The Beginning

"This is the journal of old Kant, and the other is a list of members of the Bloody Hand Thieves, which I found in a hidden compartment. ”

Dia nodded, took the journal, placed it on the wooden table, and flipped through the contents of the last few days.

Seven days ago:

It's really terrible, the three strongholds of the Bloody Hand Thieves were suddenly attacked by the cultists and suffered heavy losses, where did they know about these secret strongholds, did anyone betray the Bloody Hand Thieves?

In the afternoon, the Black Sails pirates raided the port of Lenkawa, only to be bombarded with cannons by the soldiers stationed at the port, and I wondered if the pirates who floated on the water every day were also in the water.

Five days ago:

The Black Sail Pirates robbed two merchant ships in Rensselen, and the higher-ups of Renkawa paid for the ransom of the ships, and they always felt that something was wrong.

Today I met the skinner in the slum, and she even said to go to see a friend.

Haha, the skinner actually has friends, it's simply the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life.

Two days ago:

The Bloody Hand Thieves and the City Lord's Mansion teamed up and lost to that group of cultists!

If they couldn't kill that weird cultist, they would have chosen to blow themselves up, and the Lord of Shadows, Maxke, was on top, and this was definitely the craziest group of guys I've ever seen in my life.

Fortunately, not all cultists can blow themselves up, otherwise the city of Lencado would be finished!

And the damned city lord, when will he show up! Some people say that the city lord has mysteriously disappeared, hey, a bunch of fools, I scoff at this, this is just a rumor spread by those cultists to confuse people.

Yesterday's content:

alas

I saw things I shouldn't see, I knew things I shouldn't know,

Looks like I'm going to die, no, maybe that guy wanted to kill me a long time ago.

Haha, except for the skinners, everyone in the Bloody Hand Thieves has been used, and we have all been deceived!

Who are you going to line up to kill me?

I don't want to die at the hands of my own people.

......

The diary ended here, and the two looked at each other.

"It seems that the elder Kant knew that he was going to die. ”

"Then why didn't he run?"

"There are only two possibilities, one is that he doesn't want to run, he has lived enough, or he wants to die. ”

"It's unlikely. Claire shook her head.

"The second is that he can't run away. Maybe he knew that he couldn't run away even if he ran, so he simply stayed at home and waited for death. “

"There is this possibility, so what can make a high-level wanderer stay at home and wait for death without even the idea of struggling?"

Dia shrugged.

"The powerful forces in Lenkawa City are none other than the Bloody Hand Thieves, the City Lord's Mansion, and the Cultists. “

"It is unlikely that the cultists of the hostile forces will let the old Kant be captured, and the problem should lie with the Bloody Hand Thieves or the City Lord's Mansion. ”

Claire furrowed her eyebrows.

"So what did old Kant find out that he would be killed at such a critical moment when he urgently needed to employ people. ”

"Tut, it's getting more and more confusing, let's sort out our thoughts. ”

In addition to the seemingly useless content above, the matter can be simply summarized as the old Kant discovered a certain fact and was murdered. ”

"We don't know what he discovered, but who killed him is worth speculating, and Kant Sr. said at the end of his diary, 'Who will you send to kill me?' The 'own people' in the diary are obviously the Bloody Hand Thieves, or the City Lord's Mansion, but it was the cultists who killed Old Kant. “

"The water in this city is so deep, I really want to jump into the Rodosunel River and swim all the way there. ”

Claire slapped the table in annoyance, her waist-length hair dangling behind her back, and a few strands of loose hair covering her eyes.

He then remembered that he had forgotten to tie his hair, and then re-braided it into elven braids as he said, "Look at that list." “

Dia nodded, flipped through the list and placed it on the table.

What greeted me was a series of dense small print, recording information about the members of the Bloody Hand Thieves, in addition to their names, marked with their gender, position, and evaluation of them by the elder Kant, which seemed to be a private list.

The first line is the skinner, yes, the name column is filled in with the word 'skinner', and it seems that old Kant didn't know the real name of the skinner.

Gender: Female, the position is the head of the Bloody Hand Thieves Regiment.

Comments: High-level wanderer, advanced professional shadow dance, very mysterious, even I haven't seen the true face of the skinner, if you throw away those terrifying rumors about her, I think she should be a cute porcelain doll behind the mask, why would a cute girl be a killer, it's really incomprehensible.

Claire laughed.

"Porcelain dolls, it seems that the skinner's figure should be petite, and Illinois's body is slender and bumpy, I think you should know this best. “

"It seems that my judgment is correct, she is really not a skinner. ”

Dia pouted. Continue to look back until they turn to the last few pages, the faces of the two of them are getting more and more ugly, and they find a very serious problem.

There is no name of Illinois on the list,

There is only one woman on the list!

Kant's name does not appear in the roster either.

Aren't the two of them members of the Bloody Hand Thieves?!

Dia's expression was solemn, and after a little contemplation, he spoke: "No, it is understandable that Old Kant's name does not appear in the list book. ”

"The Bloody Hand Thieves have two rulers, one is a skinner and the other is a gut-hunter, and there are no gut-hunters on this thin list. “

But it can be explained that the old Kant was a gut-hunter, so he didn't write himself. ”

The reason is very simple, this is the same as the squad leader on the stage roll call, and when it comes to himself, he often skips a reason.

And this list is a private record of the elder Kant, so naturally there is no need to record his own identity as a sausage hunter.

What about Illinois? Since she's not a skinner, she's not a gut-hunter, and she's not a member of the Bloody Hand Thieves, so who is she?

Claire took a deep breath: "I think we need to straighten out our minds again. ”

"First of all, Illinois concealed his identity as a ranger, and then he lied that he was a member of the Bloody Hand Thieves, what is the purpose of this, or what is the connection?"

Dia thought for a moment and said, "The former doesn't know, the latter should want to gain our trust." After all, the Bloody Hand Thieves are a righteous organization, and it is easy for people to trust them.

"But she didn't know that we hadn't been to Lenkawa at all, and we didn't know anything about the Bloody Hand Thieves. ”

Claire nodded, and continued Dia's words.

"Then the purpose of her fake identity is to gain our trust, so that we can go to the slums to find ...... according to her advice"

Claire paused and smiled wryly.

"We still fell into the pit. ”

"What a horrible woman. ”

"What the hell did we save? ”
