Chapter 323: The Detective's Soul
"Look at what amazing things you've asked!" Lilith, who was also carrying a piece of crosswood, exchanged words with Lin Qiu. www.biquge.info "I like to eat humans" is a hobby that might as well not ask, the first three can only show that Phoenix is both powerful and difficult to communicate, and this fourth point is directly fatal.
Doesn't that mean they're going to find Phoenix's and Ryan's pizzas delivered to their doors?
"The great philosopher Blind Whip De Nonsense Tree once said that if you want to defeat the enemy, you must understand the enemy......" Lin Qiu tried to justify: "This at least prevents us from falling into the net!"
An elegant and poetic candlelit dinner plan seems to be out of the question.
"What should we do?" asked Alyssa.
Originally, according to the Church's process, she was supposed to negotiate with Phoenix as a Knight of the Round Table, preferably to persuade it to stay away from humanity in a peaceful way, if it could not be resolved peacefully, she would have to fight Phoenix and drive it to a deserted place, because the other party would never die, which would make it difficult for the second party to achieve, and even if it could achieve its goal in the end, it would inevitably cause considerable losses.
Alyssa originally saw that Lin Qiu and the others were full of confidence and claimed to be an expert-level negotiation team, but they returned from McCallis in less than half an hour.
Negotiation skills are worrying, and he is always ready to have to get into battle. She had a consideration in mind.
"Hmm...... Isn't it weird to eat humans?"
The Reptile Empress didn't quite understand why the human who was still talking and laughing with her just now suddenly had a black face, there were countless cases of the weak and the strong in the monster world, and she had long been accustomed to it. The main reason why their reptilian monsters have little interest in humans is that they have a special digestive system and don't like to eat bone-bearing species as their food.
Although she and Phoenix don't have much contact and have a better relationship than to sit at the same table and eat, she knows that Phoenix is an omnivorous monster. The so-called omnivores are the type that sees what to eat after being hungry, and Jörmungandr in ancient times was this variety.
Humans are even more special, they are the most obvious in nature, a weak monster can easily prey on an adult villager, and powerful humans have enough strength to rival dragons. But the main reason why humans are the target of most omnivorous monsters is their social makeup. McCallis couldn't understand why the strongest among humans tended to like to gather in one area, and the farther away from the imperial capital, the weaker the human power tended to be, and if it was her, she would definitely let the weakest children stay with her.
"Most omnivorous monsters will target humans as hunting targets!" McCallis felt that she needed to add some common sense to these few fussing humans, the imperial capital is as strong as a cloud, and there are saints in charge, every few monsters dare to touch here, but those border towns have long been full of demons.
"Wait a minute. ”
After Lin Qiu made up a bunch of excuses, he suddenly realized an important problem. In layman's terms, it was a sudden flash of lightning that crossed the depths of his mind, making him feel like Conan possessed for a while: "If Phoenix really preys on humans, it would be a good thing." ”
Alyssa will be skeptical: "This is also what the philosopher tree told you?"
"I reasoned it out on my own. A monster of Phoenix's level would certainly not satisfy its appetite by a human, and I estimate that the entire town will be turned upside down by it. ”
Lilith asked, "So ......?"
"So if it's attacked a town in the last few years, at least there's intelligence to report to the Imperial Capital - clues like a giant firebird, or a burned town, that can help us quickly determine Phoenix's range of activity. ”
Moreover, Lin Qiu dared to guarantee that at least in the past few years, Phoenix had definitely not appeared in the important towns of the major kingdoms. Veronica's kingdom was only invaded by barbarians, so they came to the imperial capital to move troops, but it is conceivable that if it is attacked by Phoenix, I am afraid that the streets and alleys of the imperial capital will be full of reports such as "Shocked! The divine bird has reappeared in the world, what is this ......".
"I'm going to the palace to check the records of the last few years. ”
As the new chief of guard of the imperial capital, Alyssa can always look through the records she has given back from the outlying areas over the years. She had to admit that Lin Qiu's brain was still enough for the most part - when he didn't put his mind on fabricating some celebrities like Pipi Shrimp and Nonsense Tree.
"So, the Tree Master is also from your town?"
Alyssa stumbled, and even someone would believe this kind of name that was obviously made up blindly with a slap in her head! She stopped, followed the prestige, and Richard, whose eyes lit up, suddenly came into view. The stupid prince spared no effort to praise the town he had never met: "It really deserves to be a 'real new town', and it has created so many pillars of the kingdom...... Tyre-san, one day, I'll visit there too!"
"Huh?" Lin Qiu suddenly remembered that a rather important person had never expressed an opinion until now: "Helena, what do you think?"
Helena's age is one of the biggest mysteries of the century, and she claims to have "arrested" the Chief Knight of the Round Table, Maran Fune, so Lin Qiu speculates that she is at least a figure of the same era as McCallis, and that she must have heard more or less about the legend of Phoenix.
"Huh?"
Helena looked up in confusion when she heard someone call for herself.
She has always been a serious person, and she is the only one among them who carefully studies the designs left by the old craftsmen. She could easily reconstruct any part of the bell tower and turn the broken chain again, and she thought it would be an easy task. But Helena soon discovered that she couldn't read the blueprint.
She didn't know anything about craftsmen.
Of course, Lin Qiu felt in her heart that Helena couldn't understand the design drawings not only because she had never studied craftsmanship, but more importantly, it was because she had taken the design drawings backwards.
This can be seen from the fact that the elevator that she "repaired" kept trying to make a hole in the ground.
"You've really helped a lot!" Helena suddenly realized, and sincerely thanked Lin Qiu for guiding her—"You were just talking about Phoenix...... Any questions?"
"Where can we find it?"
"How do I know it's not our pet...... But wasn't that kid named Doron taken away by the Holy Maiden? Maybe you'll find out when he wakes up. ”
"Big ...... It's a big deal!" Helena could finish speaking, and a hunched old man rushed up from the second floor in a rage.
Lin Qiu felt that if they hadn't stepped on the second-floor mechanism before, Ryan's grandfather would probably have died in a foreign country.
"What's wrong?"
"You ...... Your pizza is going to be cold!" the old man was sweating profusely, and he pondered for a long time before he spoke.
......
You can't ask too much of an old man.
It's like you can't get him to the bell tower at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, and at the same time you have to remember the content of the message.
"He must have said that Doren had escaped. ”
McCallis stared at the old man for a moment, and said something that had nothing to do with the content of his message.
