"You seem to be unhappy with this solution?" Reptilian red pupils snapped into Flick's eyes, accentuating provocative words. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After the deliberations on the division of William Coulter's estate, Acoury took Frick to another room on the side of the Great Library. The small room was hung with blankets depicting wonderful patterns, and the smell of burning insect repellent herbs wafted from the air.

In the center of the room, there were a number of documents that had not yet had time to be sorted out, and only a few of them had been deliberately selected by Aculi. It was a "legacy" that no one wanted, and the vast majority of it was Dr. Coulter's previous experiments and correspondence.

As a result, these documents were accepted by Aculi, and as the director of the Northern University Library, she "borrowed" these materials with her own authority. Ostensibly to complete the library's record of Dr. Coulter, it was clear to everyone that she wanted to investigate something with the help of the materials.

However, no one tried to stop her - because this part of the material had been reviewed many times, and it did not contain any knowledge of interest to them. As for whether Kurt had been secretly in contact with some dangerous organizations, this information does not seem to have anything to do with their vital interests.

"To be exact, I shouldn't be said to be 'dissatisfied'. ”

After thinking for a moment, he confirmed the red eyes and said, "You know, I only happened to join William Coulter's experiments, and as his assistant I saw a part of the spiritual world - nothing else about him. ”

In fact, Kurt has long noticed that no matter what he says at the meeting, it will not have much impact on the final outcome. Maybe the sorcerers will perform some acts on stage with their ostentatious acting skills, but that is only a trivial effort before the curtain ends.

In the days he had been under house arrest, the people in the library who had long been eyeing William Coulter's work had come to know how much of the inheritance they could share. Even the lab where Flick had been had found a new owner before the deliberations began.

The research records sent to Aculi may have some value, but most of them have already been published, and even contain reports of several failed experiments. In the eyes of the mage, they can almost be said to be worthless, and thus can only provide some subtle reference value.

After they reviewed it again and again, even if Frick hadn't seen it with his own eyes, they could determine how "harmless" they were. Unsurprisingly, none of these documents contain any information about the mages involved in the division of the estate, nor any information about Dr. Coulter's final experiments.

That's a good term, but you should be well aware that human behavior is easily manipulated, so there is necessity in chance. ”

However, in the eyes of the veteran scrivener, they are not only to this extent: "Let me put it another way, the 'accident' encountered here made you choose to join this uncertain exploration project, and awaken a new 'power' in the process of experimentation." And at the end of it all, you also witness Kurt being killed by those men...... Tell me, how much do you think it's accidental?"

There was no doubt that Akuli knew very well what Frick had been through at the Gate, even if she hadn't been with Frick. Maybe it's the information she's only had since she's here, or maybe she's got an eyeliner next to Flick, but in any case, she's well aware of what's going on here.

In fact, Frick didn't know exactly how much information Akuli had, but he had to admit that the girl-looking demon had a fairly extensive intelligence network. Her cold-blooded eyes had a wonderful power, as if she could really see everything.

While Frick had long been aware of her ability to gather intelligence, Acully had clearly wanted to emphasize it to him this time. After she said this, she grabbed another stack of papers out of nowhere and threw them into Flick's hands.

"Maybe you should take a look, it's all the information I've gathered about William Kurt and the not-so-friendly people he's befriended. ”

She then slowly walked deeper into the room and pulled out some other documents: "The scribe's handwriting has always been known to be accurate and truthful, but it is not completely impossible to tamper with on its own...... And because reading and writing originates from an individual's thinking and memory, it can also be influenced by other forces. Relatively speaking, the magic technology developed over the years has produced tools that can replace reading and writing in some situations - the human mind may be full of deception, but it is not so easy to lie about the photos obtained by taking the camera. ”

The information gathered by Acully using his intelligence network included a number of documentary records and several photographs of William Coulter. Intelligence revealed that the sorcerer had been in contact with suspicious individuals in recent years, and had access to large sums of money that he should not have.

The appearance of those people is not too outstanding, and they are not much different from the citizens who can be seen everywhere on the streets, and it is difficult to attract the attention of others. However, the biggest problem is also here, no one seems to know where these guys are from, and they can't find where they live.

There were suspicions that they were spies from a foreign land, and that Dr. William Coulter might have been involved in some dangerous situation, but that was only speculation. Since no one had the ability to locate these people, the intelligence related to them quickly fell into a dilemma where there was no way to continue the investigation.

As Frick flipped through the records, he quickly discovered that among the suspicious people who had frequent contact with Dr. Kurt, there was one person who appeared very frequently - a middle-aged man with dark skin, a thick black beard and messy hair.

"Like you know, no one in my intelligence sources has been able to catch this guy's tail, and he's very secretive. "Every time he came into contact with Dr. Coulter, he would rent a room nearby, and disappear as soon as he made contact. ”

Each time he acted, he used a completely different identity - all of which were legal - to find a temporary place to live, and sometimes sent letters to adventurers and wizards, inviting them to come and consult. Those who participated in the deliberations said that his requirements were very detailed and complex, and even regulated what everyone should or should not do, as if he were performing some kind of ritual.

Akuli's sources of information had a hard time finding some of the adventurers who had participated in the discussion, but they were vague about that rare encounter. Some of them received some kind of reward, others received vague revelations, but they almost invariably forgot about the content of the discussion, remembering only that they had undergone strange rituals and had taken some kind of potion at the request of the other.

And after completing this strange "ritual", he would leave the residence shortly after the others had left, and no one would ever see him again. Because of these mysterious natures, he has a strong presence among some people, and some people associate him with some of the legendary ghosts.

That said, William Coulter had many encounters with this mysterious eccentric, and that alone is quite remarkable. And what's even stranger is that he seems to know the rules of this weirdo very well, so he has gained a lot after each contact between them.

Dr. Coulter has been documented to devote himself to research shortly after his encounter with the strange man, and sometimes to make some outstanding progress on research projects. And after a few of these contacts, he also went to the bank to exchange some unusual precious metals.

It might be assumed that this guy whose identity is enigmatic is one of William Coulter's supporters, and he will provide him with help in everything from financial to technical. A large part of Dr. Coulter's current research is probably related to his help.

But even if he really had the ability to influence Dr. Kurt's research, what did it have to do with his own involvement in the study of the spiritual world?

"It's true that it's hard to say to what extent he had an impact on William Coulter, but at least it's proof that there's something behind it. ”

Acully nodded: "We know that William Coulter's last contact with that person was half a month ago, just like you know, at that time, his body had been eroded by abnormal magic due to excessive infiltration into the spirit world, and even if he hadn't been attacked this time, he wouldn't have lived long." We weren't able to record what they were talking about, but this interview was a little different from the past, and Kurt didn't seem to get anything out of it...... It is also possible that the reason why he was able to enter the depths of the spiritual world was due to the help of the other party. ”

Even though she had had had the intelligence agents keep an eye on Dr. Kurt beforehand, they were thrown out of the way and did not gather any valuable information. Aculi was not satisfied with the only amount of information he had in his possession, but there was nothing he could do to change the outcome.

Still, her words made Frick feel a certain association.
