Chapter 40: Search in Dongcheng District
Mo He didn't have much to do today, so he sat on the side and listened to the chatting of the soldiers of the Little Daisy Mercenary Regiment, while Shui Yue stood next to him all the time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Miss Shaanna was listening to it too, but she got tired of listening to it and wanted to find something to do.
But this is not a wild place, she doesn't need to do anything about cooking, washing, picking wild vegetables, and seeing Uncle Mo He teaching Sister Shuiyue to speak from time to time, Sha Anna feels that her Uncle Mo He is about to forget her.
Usually, when she is bored, she will directly pounce on Uncle Mo He to play.
But now that there is more Sister Shuiyue by her side, and there are so many uncles around, if she coquettishly coquettished Mo He, Anna will also feel embarrassed.
She thought about going to play with Uncle Eight, but found that Uncle Eight was chatting with several army commanders, and they didn't talk when they saw her appear, and they didn't let her stay by and eavesdrop.
In the end, she thought of going to Uncle Wren again, but since Uncle Wren woke up and was punched by the bald one-eyed uncle, the whole person has become a little untalkative, and Uncle Lane said that Uncle Wren will recover if he stays for a while, so Shaanna didn't bother him.
She was so bored that Shaanna had to look for something to do in the neighborhood on her own.
By the time they found out that Shaanna was missing, the little girl had already run to the Templar quarters.
Halfway through, seeing Shaanna being carried back by a white-armored Templar, Mo He's heart finally let go.
This little guy still grimaced at Mo He, completely unaware that the entire Little Daisy Mercenary Group was sent out to find her.
The inside of the fortifications is not complicated, but it is difficult to find the military camp outside, and Mo He also used Shui Yue's powerful tracking technique, and the two of them barely found the right direction together.
Misty City wasn't a safe place after all, but luckily nothing happened and the little girl was brought back.
After coming back, Mo He didn't scold her, but just touched her little brain and said that next time you want to go out to play by yourself, you must talk to everyone first.
After the little guy agreed, he saw that the eighth master was idle, and began to pester the eighth master to learn to draw, when the eighth master figured out that the little guy wanted to learn to make scrolls, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, but he didn't expect the little guy to go out and go around and actually like making magic scrolls.
It's just that the materials for making magic scrolls are the same as the bottles that can hold holy water, they are expensive things, and ordinary people don't buy them to carry with them, although the eighth master is also a magician, and he doesn't lack money to buy materials, but he usually doesn't use magic scrolls much, so he won't carry these materials for making scrolls with him.
For his own sake, he could have gotten some from the Knights Templar, but those were used for battle, and it was not appropriate to use them for the little girl to practice himself.
Seeing the little girl's eagerness, the eighth master finally asked Hobbt for a quill, a box of ink, and a pile of paper for letters.
It's also a good idea to practice drawing magic circles on paper first, and some magicians practice this first when they learn to make magic scrolls.
The pattern that Sha Anna repeatedly painted does not know what it is, but it looks quite presentable, the Knights of the Temple only produce white magic scrolls, it seems that if you have time, you can take this painting to the white robe priest in the army to appraise it, and see how the painting is.
Although such a little girl's affairs have a thrilling past, considering the danger in the city, as well as the feeling of the little guy staying in the army, and also considering Wren's current state, the eighth master asked Hobut to write a letter to the commander-in-chief outside the city on his behalf, asking for permission to station the people of the Little Daisy mercenary group outside the city.
On the second day after the Yellow Scorpion Legion entered the city, Rooney and the Yellow Scorpion Legion spent an early morning to solve all the fish that slipped through the net in Xicheng District and ensured the safety of Xicheng District.
Now that the communication roads inside and outside the city are unimpeded, the letter that the eighth master asked Hobut to write on his behalf was quickly sent.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the messenger from the outer city returned with good news.
Due to the fact that the number of Little Daisy mercenaries is not large, and they have not signed any employment agreements with the army,
The commander-in-chief agrees to set aside a place outside the city for the Daisy mercenary group to be stationed, and will also provide the Daisy mercenary group with daily necessities and food for the VIP treatment.
After receiving the reply, the eighth master immediately asked Ren and Sha Anna to set off and lead the little daisy mercenary group out of the city to the divided station.
As for Mo He and Shui Yue, they proposed to refuse to go out of the city with the eighth master early in the morning.
Mo He wants to stay and practice, and at the same time, he can help by the side of the eighth master, and Shui Yue is where Mo He goes, she will follow.
The eighth master felt that Mo He had grown a lot now compared to before, and the two of them could indeed help a lot with him by his side, and now that there were so many legions in the city, it was much safer, so he reassuredly agreed to let them stay and participate in the follow-up mission.
The clean-up mission in the western part of Misty City ended early, and the Yellow Scorpion Legion began to take over from the Black Lion Legion as the main guardian of the mountain gate fortifications.
Everyone met again and reconfirmed the tasks of the regiments in the upcoming carpet search operation.
The most critical task of the mission was given to Rooney, who can now only control a quarter of the East City at a time.
As a result, he needs to stay in one area at a time and keep it empty until the search party completes its search of the cleared area.
In order to ensure that the search was thorough enough, the search time for each cleared area was one day, which meant that Rooney could only stay in the same area for the rest of the day.
The Legions that entered the cleared area were divided into two groups, one of which was dedicated to searching for clues, mainly the Templars and the White Wolf Legion.
One group is responsible for security, placing those remaining mutant ghouls and mutant ghouls who dare to enter from other areas, and this is mainly handed over to the Black Lion Legion and the Dragon Eagle Mercenary Group.
Of course, with the change of the search area, there will inevitably be an area not controlled by Rooney where ghouls will fight back against the mountain gate guarded by the Yellow Scorpion Legion, and each legion will be able to kill ghouls who dare to invade at will.
Hobut publicly informed Rooney at the meeting that the Commander-in-Chief had written back allowing him to take up to a thousand ghoul men with him after Operation Misty City, and that Rooney no longer disputed this result, and that the Legions could attack the invading ghouls at will.
The meeting ended very smoothly, and everyone rested early after returning to recharge for the next day's action.
The night passed peacefully, and everyone gathered in the morning.
Rooney went out to make arrangements first, and after getting his signal, several legions began to go out one after another.
The first to go out were the Black Lion Regiment and the Dragon Eagle Mercenary Regiment, which were in charge of the battle, and then the Templar Order and the White Wolf Regiment began to conduct a detailed search in the area that the Combat Corps passed.
The task in Dongcheng is much more troublesome than expected.
Because Dongcheng District is mainly composed of civilian residential areas, slums, all kinds of bright red light districts, horse racing, animal gambling and entertainment areas, and various cheap grocery trade areas.
These areas are not clean and tidy, and the construction is haphazard, many of the streets are very narrow, and there are many alleys, which are mostly dirt roads, and when it rains, it will be very muddy and difficult to walk.
It is not easy to search a place like this thoroughly, and there are mutated ghouls that have escaped from time to time, which makes the search operation even more dangerous.
Looking at the number of people in one area a day, it seems that it can be handled, but after actually dispersing it, it is found that it is just a fool's dream to investigate every corner of a quarter of Dongcheng District in one day.
The Knights Templar and the White Wolves tried their best to search every suspicious place, and the messy ledgers, parchments, and suspicious bottles and cans were collected and examined.
If this is just physical work and can be bearable, then it is not for anyone to endure the smell of rotten garbage and the smell of feces and urine floating everywhere all the time.
The white-clothed priests of the Knights Templar had already begun to vomit, not to mention those of them who rarely touched the battlefield, even the soldiers who often begged for a living on the battlefield had to pull up the cloth towels they had prepared to protect their noses, but the exposed eyes would still be smoked with stench and tears coming straight to tears.
Disillusioned with his men's performance, Saruman was the first to unleash a large area of purification, which relieved his subordinates who had wasted breakfast.
Under Saruman's guidance, all the white mages present who could release purification began to release purification, and they were originally brought to be responsible for healing and dealing with mutated ghouls, but now they were used to clean the air, and people with a little mage dignity blushed.
This kind of blushing magician does not include the eighth master, he is completely wandering around like a spring breeze, drilling wherever it is dirty and messy, it's not that he has released any spells for himself, it's just that he is also a mercenary, he has never slept in any dirty and messy place, this kind of small slum challenge is nothing to him.
As for Mo He and Shui Yue, who followed the eighth master around, one was a mercenary who used to pick up garbage in the dead man's pile, and the other was a killer who once turned a group of people into a dead man's heap, and these smells couldn't bother them at all.
On the first day, I searched the northwest corner of Dongcheng District, which is close to the Fenglei Mountains, which is partly a slum and partly a glittering area, and found no useful clues.
The next day, I searched the southwest corner of Dongcheng District, which is close to the Fenglei Mountains, which is partly an entertainment area and partly a market area, and also found no useful clues.
On the third day, we searched the northeast corner of the eastern part of the city, which is part of the slum and part of the civilian area, near the Makuguro Forest, and found useful clues.
On the fourth day, we searched the southeast corner of the eastern part of the city, which was part of the civilian area and part of the entertainment area, near the Makuguro Forest, and found a suspicious clue - a civilian diary, which recorded several suspicious events before and after the appearance of the ghouls, and if these events were clarified, then it would be possible to solve the mystery of the appearance of the ghouls.
