Chapter 1047: The Spy Who Was Accidentally Exposed
"Is this shamanic psychics?" Leo asked, looking at Sean's bracelet.
"Yes. Sean was not full, and nodded.
"Can you take a look?" asked Leo, curiously.
Sean hesitated, but finally withdrew the bracelet made with shamanic spells and handed it to Leo.
Leo was not polite, took the bracelet, looked at it carefully, and the spirit net also swept it several times inside and outside the bracelet at the same time.
Although Leo had known about shamanism for a long time, this was the first time he had seen the most formal shamanic techniques.
After studying it repeatedly, he had to admit that the process of casting this shamanic spell was indeed silent, although he could feel the energy fluctuations of the bracelet just now, but he could not capture how the energy of the shamanic spell worked.
He remembered that the two most powerful spells in shamanism were the power of nature, and the other was the power of curses, and he thought that Sean's bracelet should be made of some kind of cursed power.
As for the things that produce this curse power, it is not the religious patterns that seem intricate and mysterious, but the carefully polished bones that connect the various nodes of the bracelet, judging by the bone quality, it should be human bones.
After a little inspection, Leo handed the bracelet back to Sean and said, "Use this thing sparingly, it will not only hurt enemies, but also the user." ”
When Sean heard this, he was unimpressed at first, but soon his face became a lot more solemn, because he recalled the somewhat uncontrollable violent mentality in his heart when he used the power of the bracelet just now, which made him realize that Leo's warning was not untargeted.
"I see. Sean nodded honestly, then turned his head to look at the bloody corpses around him, and asked, "What about these corpses now?"
"What to do?" Leo asked rhetorically.
Sean said, "How are you going to clean up these corpses?"
"Why are we collecting these corpses?" said Leo calmly, "They killed each other, not us, we were just passing, if anyone finds us, we can just tell the truth about what happened." ”
Sean was stunned when he heard this, and then involuntarily smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling that he seemed to have become a lot more stupid after coming here, obviously such a simple thing was complicated.
After deciding what to do with the corpses, Leo and Sean walked around the corpses and continued towards the dock site.
It didn't take long for the two of them to return to the construction site, and the person in charge of guarding the gate of the construction site did not show any unusual emotions about the return of the two, because the low-level clergy who had decided to rob them did not seem to reveal any information to his colleagues.
Thinking about it, he found an item that could make him soar, and the owner of the item was an ordinary person in his eyes, in this case, he naturally would not reveal the news to the third one, but chose to monopolize the benefit, and it was even possible that even those companions he invited would be poisoned by him in the end, so as not to expose the fact that he had golden scales on his body.
The clergyman's selfishness kept him from leaving any clues, which naturally saved Leo and them a lot of trouble, and they returned to the construction site without any problems, staying in their barracks.
Back at the barracks, Leo stayed in the tent to study the items he had while Sean went out to find out about the Sea Clan.
Although theoretically speaking, as long as they find the Sea Clan, they can ask the Sea Clan to help do a reasonable thing, but who can be sure that the Sea Clan they found will be the same as the low-level clergyman just now, greedy for this golden scale, and if they can't find someone who can do things and help Sean get the Sea Monster Conch as soon as possible, then the longer the time drags on, the more bad it will be for him, because he doesn't know when he will leave at all.
In case when he leaves, the sea monster snail still hasn't arrived due to the problem of efficiency, then the golden scales will be in vain.
It didn't take long for Sean to find out the news, not to say how strong his ability to investigate, but because the news about the Sea Clan was really not a secret news, and anyone who knew a little about this place knew where to find the Sea Clan's office.
The Sea Tribes don't like land and don't like to be far from the ocean, so the Sea Tribe's embassy is located in the Holy Bay Harbor, but it is not in the port city, but in a water estate in a small bay on the other side of the dock area.
It's just that although I know where the embassy of the Sea Clan is, it is not a simple matter to meet the ambassador of the Sea Clan, because of the Long Spirit Festival, almost all the staff of the Sea Clan Embassy had to leave the embassy and go to the Silver Moon Lake in the Holy Tru Mountain, and will not return to the embassy until the end of the Long Spirit Day, and now the people in the embassy are some hired locals, and they don't have the full strength to do things at all.
Hearing this, Leo knew very well that in the end, things still needed to go to the Holy Tru Mountain, but the problem was that even if they became official members of the Divine Descent Templar and were stationed in the various departments of the Holy Church in the Spirit Capital, they were also not eligible to enter the Holy Tru Mountain, so no matter what, he and Sean had to do some forbidden things.
Not long after Sean inquired about the news, there was a sudden cacophony of voices from the dock site, which was accompanied by a roar, and it was obvious that the person who made the roar should be full of anger at the moment.
There was almost no need to go out to check the situation, and just by the words of some recruiters talking outside the camp, Leo and Sean already knew that the bodies on the street had been found, and Sean was still a little worried about this, but Leo seemed very calm, as if he had never known about it.
It wasn't long before someone came over to ask about Leo and Sean, as both of them were among the people who had come back from the outside before.
However, the questioner did not ask if the deaths of those people were their doing, but only whether they had seen their bodies on the way back when the two of them returned.
It is clear that the obvious traces of cannibalism on those people misled the responsibility of the construction site, so that they did not even think about tracking down the murderers, but only investigated the time of their deaths to determine what happened to them around that time.
In the face of questioning, Leo and Sean naturally denied seeing anything unusual on the road, and the person who asked did not suspect it, just recorded their words and left.
However, the matter did not end there, not long after the routine questioning, the two heads of the dock construction site, who were considered high-ranking clergy of the Divine Descent Templar, suddenly killed several investigators who inquired about their situation, and then inexplicably rushed out of the camp, and under the pursuit of the Templar guards, they took a Spirit Clan ship docked at the dock, fled into the sea, and quickly disappeared from the view of the pursuers.
The Templar guards could have caught up with those two, because there were several Church ships docked on the nearby dock, and they only needed to requisition the ships through their identities, and they didn't even need to requisition the ships, and there were several fully fleshed fishmen who had been blessed by the sea god among the guards, and with the advantage of the fishmen in the sea, they could easily catch up with the ships.
It's a pity that the pursuit of the guards of the Divine Descent Templar was stopped by the Spirit Clan who rushed to hear the news, and the reason for stopping it was extremely sufficient, that is, during the Long Spirit Festival, all the waters near the Holy Bay were closed to the sea, and no ship was allowed to leave or enter, as for the previous ship, the reason given by the Spirit Clan could not find a way to refute it, that is, they would want the ship and the people on board, and after catching those people, they would use the laws of the Spirit Race to punish them.
Although it was no longer possible to pursue them, the guards of the Divine Descent Sanctuary did not stop there, because no matter how you look at this matter, it looks like the Spirit Clan is playing ghosts, because after the two people who escaped got on the ship, there were other crew members on the ship, and those crew members were also Spirit crews, as long as these crew members resisted a little, the Templar guards behind them would be able to catch those two, but the problem was that the crew on that ship did not resist at all, and in the command of the two people, they drove the boat directly and left, as if it was an escape route that had been arranged.
After that, the Templar guards chased after him in their own boats, but were stopped by the Spirits, and it is not difficult to see that there is a lot of trouble in the second as long as you associate the two slightly.
So the moment the Templar guards left the docks, they had already decided in their hearts that the two people who had escaped were the Elves and that those who had died on the road before must have hidden some big secret.
After the Templar guards returned to the dock site, all kinds of news related to this incident quickly spread in the construction site, and Leo and Sean, who heard the news, looked at each other, and didn't know what to say for a while, because they were also a little confused, and they didn't expect that after they solved those roadblock robbers, they would pull out such a big thing.
However, Leo soon had a rough inference about the whole situation through various information obtained.
He deduced that the two escapees must have been spies arranged by the Spirit Race in the Divine Descent Sanctuary, and that among those who died, there were also Spirit Spy, and maybe even the two who escaped.
When they learned that their men had died in the street for some reason, and that among the dead were the clergy of the Templars, they probably had already decided that they might have been exposed, and then the Divine Templars questioned and investigated the people of the entire dock site, which deepened their suspicions, and finally investigated them, they mistakenly thought that they had been exposed, so they took the first step to solve the investigation, escaped from the camp, boarded the back hands left on the docks, and escaped the pursuit.
"What are we going to do next?" Sean asked, laughing and crying after listening to Leo's analysis.
"Do nothing? It has nothing to do with us. Leo gave an answer, but then he frowned again, looked at Sean and said, "But I'm afraid there are some problems with your previous inquiries about the Sea Clan." ”
Sean's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "You mean they will think that I am a spy sent by the Sea Clan?"
"That's not it, if you were a spy, you wouldn't have gone around to find out about the Sea Clan's embassy. Leo shook his head and said, "They may think that you have some ill intentions towards the Sea Clan, or the people in the Sea Clan's embassy. ”
"Huh?" Sean couldn't help but pause.
"You'd better think of a suitable rhetoric!" Leo suggested, "Either you can just take out the golden scales and use them to trade the sea monster conch with the Divine Descent Templar, I'm sure the Divine Descent Templar will be willing to complete the deal." ”
Sean thought it was a solution, but was a little worried, "Will they be like those people......"
"If you're worried, you can show it when there are a lot of people, the Divine Descent Sanctuary has just been established, and the most important thing to show is not only strength, but also credit. Leo said in a deep voice: "If they snatch the golden scales in your hands, then they will also lose their credit, and no one will trust the promises they made anymore, so the most important thing they need to do is not to find a way to get the golden scales from your hands for free, but should pay an equivalent or even more than the value of the golden scales, and make a fair exchange with you under everyone's attention." ”
Sean thought about it and felt that Leo was right, unless the people of the Divine Descent Sanctuary were all short-sighted people who only cared about their immediate interests, they would inevitably handle the matter as Leo had deduced.
After thinking about it, Sean's originally slightly nervous mood relaxed.
As Leo expected, the Templar of the Divine Descent sent a large number of personnel to begin to repeatedly review the people on the docks, starting with the top management, gradually moving down, and finally the people who were temporarily resettled after this recruitment.
Sean went around in the camp to inquire about the news of the Sea Clan's embassy, and naturally it was easy for the investigators to find out, and they were just as Leo thought, they did not suspect that Sean was a spy planted by the Sea Clan, they all thought that Sean and the Sea Clan might have some grievances or something, they were worried that Sean's matter would cause unnecessary conflicts between the Divine Descent Sanctuary and the Sea Clan, so they specifically found Sean out and interrogated it, and there were other recruiters who were also called for interrogation around during the interrogation.
Then, Sean took out the golden scales as Leo suggested, and everyone around them was stunned, and then the sound of discussion spread like a tidal wave from the tent where the interrogation was taking place to the entire dock site.
The story about the golden scales is heard by many people here as a legendary story, and even many people have fantasized about having a golden scale when they were young, and even many people still have similar fantasies, so when Sean took out the golden scale, the shock to everyone around him was no less than a person taking out a legendary Poseidon artifact.
Moreover, this storm of discussion did not stop at the dock construction site, but continued to spread around, and soon spread to the spiritual capital.
