Chapter 40: Carol Jacob

She had never heard of such an outrageous death for an extraordinary person when she was so old.

But the other party's words unexpectedly made her feel credible.

"So, what about the extraordinary properties?"

At the mention of Quinn's death, she remembered the purpose of her trip in time.

"I believe what you have said, Your Excellency."

"But that also proves that you must have this extraordinary trait."

"I've investigated the police and they didn't see anything like that."

"Hopefully you haven't sold it or made it into a magical item."

Carol had relieved a lot of tension at this time, and she picked up her coffee with her slender and fair right hand and tasted it in small sips.

She is not afraid of the other party's poison.

This is because regular poisons don't mean anything to her.

And poison in the occult sense, that must be of higher value.

For the "thief", this can be perceived.

"While I was busy dealing with the police brought in by Quinn's death, that trait was accidentally eaten by a mouse."

Glerint didn't hide it, but then he saw Carol's face full of "You're taking me for a fool" expression.

"Your Excellency, I don't think a self-proclaimed gentleman should tease me with such a clumsy lie."

Out of the intense sense of shame and anger at being teased, her fair cheeks quickly reddened.

Glerint raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't expect that even with such words, the other party still didn't turn his face directly.

"Does this mean that she is really not strong?"

"With the Ring of Discipline, I should be able to take her down."

"In this case, Jim's subsequent potion recipe and extraordinary properties are available!"

Several thoughts of "killing and seizing characteristics" quickly flashed through his mind.

Almost instantly, Carol was startled and sprang to her feet, like a nimble fox.

"I sense your malice, Lord Viscount."

"Put away your desires!"

"Or I'll make you regret it."

Pressing the bracelet on her left hand, she scolded in a deep voice, while her clear eyes stared at Glerint.

And almost in the flash of evil thoughts, Gleilynt also realized that his thoughts were wrong.

"This is the negative effect of the 'witch's makeup mirror'!"

Because he confirmed that the girl's strength was not too strong, he did have the idea of fighting just now.

But this is far less evil than "killing and seizing characteristics"!

What he didn't expect was that Carol was also quite sensitive to this, and almost instantly detected his evil thoughts.

The situation, which had been eased by his efforts, suddenly returned to a tense state.

In an instant, Carol sensed that Glerint's lust was gone.

This made her instinctively suspect that the other party was using some extraordinary ability to cover it up.

"I'm sorry, Miss Jacob."

"It's hard to believe, but that extraordinary trait really worked to make a 'swindler' rat."

"I can prove it to you."

"Besides, the so-called 'evil thoughts' you just felt are the negative effects of one of my magical items."

"I don't know if you can tell if my words are sincere. If you can, I dare to ask you to believe me again. ”

There must still be a fight, but the problem is that Glerint's goal is to infiltrate the "Hermit of Fate" party and buy Jim recipes and potions.

A fight with Carol didn't do him any good.

Such a young and simple girl, at least a sequence seven, is definitely not easy to use the hypothalamus to get the other party's background.

If he really dares to make a move, it's good if he loses.

If you win and kill the opponent, you get an extraordinary trait. That would almost certainly invite serious retaliation from the other elders.

Listening to his explanation, Carol's expression softened, and she nodded:

"As you guessed, I can indeed tell if what you say is true or not."

"I want you to be honest and put that magical item aside, or it will affect our communication very much."

However, she can't actually judge the truth and falsehood, she can only intuitively feel the evil thoughts of others.

However, she expected that since the other party thought of her, "maybe he could judge the truth of the language".

Then it is impossible to deceive by saying obvious lies.

If you could really tell, you wouldn't have been so surprised and disbelieving when I said "extraordinary traits have been eaten by rats"!

Gleilint did not debunk this logical loophole.

As long as the other party believes him.

He obediently took out the "witch's vanity mirror" and placed it in a position where his right hand could access it at any time.

The negative effect of this magical item is specifically "amplifying your evil thoughts while you carry them for a long time." ”

Therefore, as long as he does not constitute carrying in the occult sense, there will be no problem.

The so-called occult carrying, that is, actively moving with it in any way. Even if you put it in a box and drag it with a ten-meter-long rope, it is still carryable.

On the other hand, as long as you lie there and don't move, even if someone else puts a mirror on you, it doesn't count as something you carry.

This is not the same as the "polymath fanaticism" of "close to effect".

"If you have any more malicious intent, I will attack directly."

"So, Lord Viscount, how are you going to prove that this extraordinary trait has been eaten by rats?"

After warning Glerint, Carol looked up and continued to inquire about the whereabouts of the extraordinary trait.

"Of course I can prove it to you, Miss Jacob."

"Because the rat that ate the extraordinary properties has become my friend."

"I really want him to have a chance to go further, so I hope that after getting to know him, you will introduce me to the 'Hermit of Destiny' party."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gleilynt also put forward his own appeal.

There is no way, except that this path is relatively easy, and if you want to use other methods to get the potion recipe of the "Thief" path, you have to face an angel.

At present, even Tingen's kinder angel was not enough to gain Glelint's trust.

Because the best object of "parasitism" is the extraordinary one of the same sequence!

Lacking in threat, Glerint did not dare to rely on the mercy of Jim and his own safety.

"Trust in the power of the gods, but not in their mercy."

As for the other, it was an existence that Glerlint would not be willing to face at all even if he became the "Duke of Entropy".

Carol thought Glerint's request was quite reasonable.

But that's not something she can decide, because their organization is quite rigorous.

So she shook her head and said sincerely:

"I can introduce you, but I can't make sure you can join."

On this point, Glerint agrees with it quite understandingly.

He even knew better than Carol why the party's vetting was so strict

The "Hermit of Destiny" gathering aims to unite the extraordinary beings of the "Thief" path against "Amun", so it is impossible not to be strict in the vetting of members.

Because Amun's favorite thing to do is parasitism, parasitism and parasitism......

Conversely, as long as you're not parasitized by Amon, it's relatively easy to join the organization.

They don't need you to be loyal enough or anything.

"The Thieves" is probably the most united sequence in the Secret World, uniting against their boss.
