Chapter 41: The Search for Ariel. Sotho

At eight o'clock in the evening, it was already completely dark.

The laborers returned to their homes after a tiring day.

The rich or nobles returned home early, but now it was winter, and the weather was too cold after nightfall.

The cold wind blew through the streets like knives, and there were hardly any pedestrians in the streets.

However, a carriage appeared outside the house where Ariel Soto stored his body.

The carriage was pulled by two white horses, and the carriage doors were open.

Looking inside from the carriage door, you can see Ferrin, Lindy, Julie, and Ivy.

"Let's get started!"

Lindy said as she looked at Ferrin, who was holding the Yesterday's Bell in her hand.

"Yes."

Fei Lin answered, flipped the bell of yesterday over, and placed it on his lap.

Behind yesterday's clock, three knobs can be seen.

One knob is significantly larger than the other two, and has a butterfly shape that makes it easy to grip with two fingers.

This is the barrel of the clockwork, which is connected to the elastic structure that allows the watch to run without an electric drive.

Of course, today's Yesterday's Bell is already a cursed thing, containing extraordinary power, even if it does not spin the clockwork, it will keep going.

The remaining two knobs, smaller than the clockwork knobs, sit side by side below the clockwork knobs.

They are the hour and minute hands of yesterday's clock.

"It's 8 p.m., and it's been about 99 hours since I met Ariel Soto here."

After reckoning in his mind, Ferrin turned the knob on the left counterclockwise, and suddenly saw that the hour hand of yesterday's clock began to rotate counterclockwise.

As the clock hand of yesterday's clock rotates in reverse, a strange change appears.

The sky outside suddenly brightened, and suddenly it dawned.

But this is not possible, it is now 8 p.m., and there are at least 10 hours until dawn.

If you look closely, this brightened area is impressively centered on the carriage where Fei Lin and them were, with a circumference of more than ten meters.

It's not that it's dawning, but that the sky is brightening within a range of more than ten meters centered on Fei Lin and them.

If you look closely, you can even see some weird pictures.

The birds that flew through the sky actually flew backwards upside down.

A stray cat that occasionally passes by actually walks backwards.

This is because Ferrin activates the clock of yesterday, time goes back, and the surrounding images are regressing.

One lap.

Two laps.

……

Seven laps.

Eight laps.

The hour hand rotated eight times, and the surrounding image had regressed to four days ago.

Ferrin stopped spinning the hour hand and turned the minute hand on the right, for it was almost time for him to meet Ariel Soto.

Suddenly.

A carriage came from the street opposite them, and it was driven by a man dressed in black, about thirty or forty years old, with some dark skin.

Ferrin recognized the man, who was the man he had seen that day, carrying the body with Ariel.

Then this carriage is self-evident, and it is naturally the carriage that Ferrin once smelled of corpses.

Seeing the carriage, Ferrin immediately stopped spinning the minute hand.

And the three Lindy also knew that the carriage was probably Ariel. The carriage in which Soto was riding was staring sharply at the carriage.

The carriage collided with Ferrin's carriage, but no sound of impact was heard, but it passed through and stopped outside the house.

After all, it is only an image of the past, and naturally there is no substance.

From inside the carriage, Ariel Soto appears with an eyepatch in his left eye.

Jumped out of the carriage, came to the door, opened it with the key, and pushed it open.

The man dressed in black drove the carriage into the courtyard.

"Felin, keep up with them."

Lindy's voice said with some eagerness.

The range that the Yesterday's Clock can affect is only a little more than ten meters, beyond which you will not be able to see Ariel. Sotho.

"I know."

Ferrin hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and followed Ariel Soto into the courtyard.

Lindy, Julie, and Ivy followed him and entered the courtyard as well.

"Not only is the talent in the mysterious spear extremely high, but also the talent to learn the second secret art!"

Walking at the end of the three, Ivy looked at Fei Lin's back with surprise.

Because she was a member of the same group as Felin, she was allowed to participate in the operation, and thus learned that Felin had learned the Eye of the Arcane Identification.

Fei Lin was already very surprised that she had raised the mysterious spear to the second ring in the early part of the month, but she didn't want to be even more surprised that Fei Lin still had the talent to practice the second secret art.

Possessing two kinds of mystic talents is a necessary condition for the realm above the twelve rings, doesn't it mean that Fei Lin has the possibility of reaching the realm above the twelve rings?

This person in her own group actually has such a talent, which really shocked her.

Enter the yard and "lock" the yard door, Ariel. Soto and the man in black began to carry the body from the wagon to the basement with a huge bloody six-pointed star.

In the process of carrying the body, Ariel. Soto and the man in black were talking to each other.

However, although you can see the images, you can't hear the sounds, so you can't hear what they say.

"Julie, what did they say?"

Lindy was prepared for this, and she looked at Julie and asked.

Because of her ability to remember, Julie is a strong learner and has learned many techniques, including lip language.

Although it is impossible to reach the master level of these techniques and turn them into secret arts because they do not have the corresponding master talents, they are enough for daily use.

"Ariel. Soto said the bodies were important...... It was asked for by Mistress Minawar, and it should be handled with care, without the slightest damage. ”

Julie looked at the two of them's open and closed mouths, trying to read what they were saying through her lips.

"Mistress Minawar? That is to say, Ariel. There are indeed higher-ranking cultists above Soto......"

Lindy's eyes flashed with thought.

According to the Ariel pair. Soto's investigation, she had long suspected Ariel. Soto was only one of the clerks in the Gnawing Fangs, not the highest-ranking member of the Gnawing Teeth in Conston City, and it has now been confirmed.

In Ariel. Above Soto, there is at least one cultist of a higher rank, and this cultist's name is Minawar.

There is no doubt that they have received very important information.

Follow Ariel. Soto's image, made several trips back and forth in the basement, but never got any useful information.

The body has been moved, Ariel. The image of Soto and the two was already driving the carriage and preparing to leave.

The four of them hurriedly boarded the carriage and followed the carriage where Ariel and the two were staying.

"Let the carriage coincide with theirs."

Lindy instructed the coachman, who was absolutely trustworthy as a veteran, to speed up slightly and keep the carriage they were in with Ariel. The carriage in which Soto and the two men were in coincided.

With this, they were able to see Ariel inside the carriage again. Sotho.

Inside the carriage, Ariel. Soto sat alone in his seat, and because he was the only one in the carriage, he did not speak, but simply sat quietly.

Even so, the four of Felin kept their eyes on Ariel. Soto's image, afraid that he would miss some important information.

About ten minutes later.

Suddenly, Ariel in the middle of the carriage. Soto's face changed suddenly, as if he had heard some bad news.

"The time is close to my infiltration encounter with the Eyeless Monster, it should be that he discovered the Eyeless Monster and was killed by me."

Ferrin explained to the three Lindy.

The three of Lyndy nodded and understood the reason, and continued to stare at Ariel. Sotho.

Only to see Ariel who has changed color suddenly. Soto's face was uncertain, as if he was struggling with what to do.

A moment of tangle, Ariel. Soto lifted the curtain and spoke to the man in black.

"What did you say?"

Lindy asked busily.

"He told the man in black to change direction, not to return to his residence, but to reroute to ......"

Julie replied.

After saying this, Ariel. Soto returned to the carriage and sat in the compartment with a look of anxiety on his face.

More than ten minutes later, carrying Ariel. Soto's carriage stopped on an abandoned street with no one around.

Ariel. Soto lifted the curtain and said something to the man in black, who bent down and entered the carriage.

Poof!

As soon as the man in black entered the carriage, Ariel. Soto covered the man in black's mouth with one hand, and stabbed the man in black in the chest with a dagger with the other.

Blood splattered.

Although he couldn't hear the sound, he could imagine the sound of his heart being pierced and blood splattering.

The man in black struggled a few times, became weak and fell soft, and there was no movement.

Ariel. Soto put down the body of the man in black, wiped the dagger and the blood on his hands on the body of the man in black, said a word, and walked out of the carriage.

"Don't blame me, you can only blame me for your bad luck with me, exposed."

Julie hurriedly lipsed Ariel . Soto's words were translated.

The four of them got out of the carriage and chased after Ariel. Image of Soto.

I saw Ariel walking out of the carriage. Soto, quickly leaving the abandoned street, bowing his head to avoid the pedestrians on the street, came to an old street, and entered a suite in a low-cost apartment.

This is supposed to be a hiding place for him, but he didn't find it in his previous search.

"The door is locked, and the other party should not be here anymore!"

The four of them couldn't help but perk up, thinking that they had found Ariel. Where Soto is hiding.

But soon they found that the door was locked, and that it was from the outside, and that there was no one inside.

"Ivy, break the lock!"

Lindy instructed Ivy, who nodded slightly, and the cross gem on the ring on her right hand lit up with a golden light.

With a dazzling golden light, a golden cross-light sword appeared.

Click!

With a crisp sound, the iron lock was snapped and fell to the ground.

Four people entered the room, and in the room, Ariel. Soto's image moves back and forth, looking very agitated.

The four searched the room, looking for clues related to the gnawing fangs.

However, there are no clues in the room related to the gnawing fangs, except for some clothing and simple household items.

Ariel. Soto walked back and forth anxiously for half an hour, and it was already dark outside.

Ariel. Soto stopped walking back and forth, his mouth open and closed, and muttered to himself.

"Julie, what did she say?"

Lindy asked hurriedly, her instinct telling her that Ariel's words were extremely important.

"He said that the only way to escape the search of the Security Bureau is to hide from the adults!"

Julie hurriedly replied.

"Isn't the Lord he meant by the Minawar mentioned earlier?"

Ivy asked, frowning.

"I can't be sure, he just said the adult, not the specific person."

Julie shook her head.

Ariel. Soto's image disguised himself as a citizen, wearing a wide hat that would cover most of his face, and left the suite in the darkness of the night.

The four of Fei Lin hurriedly followed.

Leaving the suite, Ariel walked down the street because there were hardly any people to see at night.

Walk through the streets one by one, and eventually enter the streets where the surrounding houses are better decorated than other places.

"This is entering the East End, and the person he wants to meet lives in the East End!"

Seeing better housing around than on other streets, Ferrin said.

"Eastside."

There was a cold glint in Lindy's eyes.

Those who live in the Eastern District are either nobles and related people, or rich and related people, that is to say Ariel. The lord in Soto's mouth is either an aristocrat, a rich man, or a related person.

……

In a lavishly furnished room with a huge citrine lamp on top of the East Side, there are two people.

One of them was a man of great stature. The man who killed people in Soto.

The other was a noble lady with a seductive figure in a long black dress.

The long black dress has a V-neckline, and you can see the snow-white skin on her chest, which gives people infinite temptation.

Holding a pure white cat in her hand, she was killed by Ariel. The man whom Soto called "Master Minaware".

The two sat on a sofa with a glass of red wine in their hands.

On the coffee table between the two of them, there was a bottle of red wine that had been opened.

This is a 70-year-old bottle of high-end red wine from the famous Château Rousail.

Minawar gracefully brought the glass to her lips and took a sip, leaving a clear mark on the rim of the glass.

The rich man looked at Minawar, who was drinking gracefully, and his throat was clearly swallowing.

He has met many noble ladies and has had in-depth exchanges with many noble ladies.

However, there is no noblewoman whose charm is comparable to that of Minawar in front of her.

But unlike the noblewomen who would run to his bed on their own initiative, Minawar was someone no less than him in the organization, and he didn't have access to it.

Sensing the fiery gaze of the rich man, Minawar put the red wine glass on the coffee table as if joking.

"If the organization's plan can be completed perfectly, it is not impossible to spend a night with you."

"Is this true?"

The rich man's face was excited, and the heat in his eyes seemed to melt Minawar.

"I've never repented of what I said, but."

Minawar smiled and looked at the burly man.

"I'm afraid you don't have a chance!"
