Chapter 63: The Pollution of the Monastery
"It's good to be busy for this time." Agnes spoke comfortingly.
Pierce shook his head and didn't continue the topic. He changed the subject and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Agnes propped her chin and replied with a smile, "I'm looking for you." ”
Pierce waved his hand and said, "No, I don't believe you knew before you came that I was here on duty today. ”
Agnes laughed, shook her head and said, "It's true, but it's not specifically looking for you." ”
"I just guessed that the most likely person on duty here is someone from the squad, but I don't know if it's you or someone else."
"Me, Dammer and Krash, along with a few members of the Watchmen, take turns on duty here for half a day at a time. This half day is also considered a rest, and to be honest, I have lost several rounds of rest in the past two months. Pierce explained.
"If it weren't for the fact that we couldn't do it or transfer it to the National Police Agency, we probably wouldn't have even had half a day to rest."
"So, the pollution in the monastery of Pafra has not been completely purified for two months?" Agnes asked.
Pierce nodded and said, "Yes, it is said that after half a day of purification, the pollution will inexplicably not know that it appears, as if there is a pollution source in the monastery. ”
"Pollution source......" Agnes muttered, then looked up and asked, "Is there any guess about what the church is?" ”
Pierce shook his head and said, "No, we can only purify it in time before the pollution increases." If there was any speculation, it would have been found and dealt with a long time ago, and this place would never have been locked down for so long. ”
"Can't even do divination?" Agnes asked.
"Of course, something related to the pollution of the 'primordial moon', who dares to divination." Pierce pouted and said.
"Okay." Agnes shrugged helplessly and said, "So now no one can go in except for the purified people?" ”
"Well, it's actually quite embarrassing. Just after purification, it is impossible to follow the pollution to find the source; Contamination begins to appear and spreads very quickly. Not only were the people who were purified worried that they would stay too long and accidentally let the contamination spread, but the investigators soon couldn't resist the contamination and had to withdraw. Pierce explained.
"So, that's where it is?" Agnes said thoughtfully.
"Yes." Pierce nodded.
Agnes lowered a hand holding her chin and gently lit it on the table.
"I'm afraid it's not all, is the source of the pollution still moving all the time, and it's likely that every time the survey finds that the location has changed? Otherwise, for such a long time, the accumulation of little by little search progress would be enough to find the source of the pollution. Agnes asked, looking up.
"I don't know, I'm just on duty here, and I haven't been involved in the investigation and purification." Pierce spread his hands and said.
Agnes choked, took a deep breath, and said, "Well, thank you for telling me this. ”
"It's okay," Pierce asked, leaning back in his chair, "and the team members basically know that." ”
"Is there anything else you can do?" Pierce asked.
Agnes took out a neatly folded piece of white paper from the pouch around her waist and handed it to Pierce.
Pierce took it and spread it out. It is a charcoal sketch of a man with straight, shaved brown hair as short as spikes, deep features, and gray-blue eyes.
"The 'werewolf' who is said to have fought with you?" Pierce asked.
"What a fight! Although I don't remember very well, I also know roughly that I was the one who was beaten unilaterally. Agnes pouted.
"That's a fight." Pierce placed the figure on the table and said, "When are you going to fight me?" I heard that you were unexpectedly promoted in this incident. ”
Agnes looked at Pierce suspiciously and asked, "You know?" ”
"Well, I asked the captain why you were forced to take a leave of absence." Pierce nodded and said, "The captain said that you accidentally took the extraordinary properties that were not blended into potions this time, and your state is not very stable. ”
"Didn't the captain say I was a sequence?" Agnes asked.
"Nope." Pierce shook his head.
Agnes covered her forehead helplessly and said, "Okay, when I stabilize my state, I'll fight you once." ”
Well, it's only two or three years, and the characteristics in the body are digested. Agnes teased in her heart.
"That's fine." Pierce was visibly excited.
He picked up the portrait again and asked, "You want to investigate the identity of this 'werewolf'?" ”
Agnes nodded and said, "Not his identity as an extraordinary, but his true identity as an ordinary person." ”
She had asked Renenys the other day and knew that the "werewolf" was named Jerome Grando, which was expected to be most likely a pseudonym. He was active at sea for a while, and was a member of a small pirate team, and even the bounty did not reach 1,000 pounds, which was not as good as the later "Blaze" Daniz.
"I want to know where he first appeared, and see if I can find out who he was."
She had asked Aurelio to help her investigate the identity of the "werewolf", but unfortunately, due to the problem of her father's desire to abolish the guild system, Aurelio's pursuit of the identity of the "werewolf" did not go well due to the small number of people allocated.
"What are you investigating him for? You're on vacation right now, and it's not your job again. Pierce said.
Agnes' eyes froze for a moment, and she said, "I don't know. I don't know why I care about the identity of this 'werewolf', but I always feel that it is important to investigate his identity. ”
"Are you ......" Pierce asked, pausing again.
"What?" Agnes looked at Pierce, waiting for his next step.
"Nothing." Pierce didn't continue what he had said, he said, "I'll check it for you." ”
"Seriously, why don't you ask Rhaenys to check it for you?" Pierce asked.
Agnes hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I commissioned it, but Rhaenys said that a lot of information related to this incident was not open to her, and she wasn't sure if she could find it." ”
"Well, I'm not sure." Pierce sighed and said, "There's one more task to help you check people." ”
Agnes couldn't help but laugh and said, "Thank you." If you're too busy, it's okay to postpone it, I'm not in a hurry. It's best to be able to find it, and it's okay if you can't find it. ”
"Forget it, I'll try to find it out for you as soon as possible."
"Is there anything else going on besides these two things?" Pierce asked.
Agnes hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you know where those children from the original Pavra Monastery went?" ”
