Chapter Seventy-Four: Assignments Beyond the Investigation
Morgan didn't know that Glerint had made up his mind to delay for a while, and after giving instructions, he told Glelynt again:
"In addition to your own investigative mission, you'll also want to help Ms. Nolan."
"Did she have any difficulties?"
Yesterday Gleilynt had attended an extraordinary party, and when she came back, Joan had already rested, and today she left so early that he really didn't know what was wrong with Joan.
"Hmm."
Morgan nodded and explained:
"The 'Lakeside Estate' in the small town of Ana was once the property of Sid Jeff, the richest man in the area, and the wheat produced there tasted so good that it was originally a very rich estate. However, some of Mr. Jeff's slaves secretly joined the 'Eternal Society', and they planned an evil sacrifice ritual on the estate. ”
The information about the "Eternal Society" is still relatively low in MI9, so Glelint knows something.
They are an offshoot of the Order and have a great influence among the slaves. The idea of their organization is that those who believe in death will have eternal life in the underworld after a painful death. They will not simply kill, but will be very cruel and cruel, because they think that only in this way can they return to the arms of the gods.
"Originally, Mr. Jeff was a believer in the goddess of the night, so that summoning ceremony was finally solved by the night watchers. However, the residual effects of the ritual made it unhabitable and unsuitable for cultivation, and the 'Lakeside Manor' was abandoned. ”
"Recently I received information from an informant that some natives were occupying the area and seemed to be in contact with the rebels, so I asked Ms. Nolan to check it out. Unexpectedly, she came to tell me this morning that those natives were very ruthless and did not cooperate with her investigation, and hoped that I would send another team member with stronger combat effectiveness to help her. ”
"I don't think you're in a hurry anyway, and you're more familiar with her, so I'm going to let you take a look."
"That's it!"
"Okay, I'll talk to her about it in the evening."
Reasonably, it would be more appropriate for Glerint to go.

In the evening, the restaurant of the garden house.
After the meal, Glerint questioned Joan about what Morgan had said that afternoon, only to find that it was a little more serious than he had originally expected.
Before, in his opinion, this was the colony of the kingdom after all, and even if those natives did not cooperate, they must not dare to harm Joan, who had an official status. Unexpectedly, in today's investigation, they have already clashed with Joan by force!
Originally, when Joan asked normally yesterday, they were still relatively honest.
I just told Joan that their group was originally residents of the "rootstock village" in the west, and after the tide of the Cracked Rock Lake rose, several of their low-lying crops were flooded. This has greatly reduced their harvest this year, so they have to come here to see if they can reclaim this ominous land and plant a little more next year.
This is a valid reason.
It's not yet April, but it's the southern continent after all, so it's harvest season recently, but it's actually coming to an end.
It was unreasonable that they sternly refused Joan's request to go in and check it out.
They even picked up the farming tools they were cultivating and drove her away......
And today, when Joan was about to sneak in, they attacked her directly. Fortunately, Joan is good, and after a short fight, she escaped from there with ease.
What Glerint couldn't understand was why they had the audacity to attack Joan directly?
You know, Joan now represents MI9! And MI9 is directly in contact with the army, the first violent agency of the kingdom of Rune.
If they were just ordinary natives, they wouldn't dare to anger Joan? Not to mention a direct attack. And if they really had a connection with the rebels, Joan wouldn't have escaped so easily.
It was indeed relatively relaxed, and she didn't even use the "trick glove".
"They have no intention of being reasonable."
Joan jokingly said:
"Compared to you, they are really 'savage'!"
"Well, it's not your kind of reckless barbarism, it's closer to the deviant side of 'civilization.'"
The speaker was unintentional, but Glerint's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this.
He remembered that the original book's description of the "barbarians" was: "Problems that cannot be solved by law will be put into force!" This is also a type of rule. ”
This seems to be different from my previous "thoughtless" and "reckless"?
That's more like the operation of the grumpy old brother of the Storm Church.
And what Joan describes: "barbarism" is the departure from "civilization"! It also gave him some ideas for acting.
————————————————————————
The next morning, after a more than an hour's ride in an ox cart, Glerint and Joan arrived in the small town of Ana.
In addition, Alister followed him.
In terms of personal lethality, Gleilynt is not necessarily better than Alister now, and his strange curses are still very threatening, but they are often more complicated to operate and cannot be used in actual combat. And Alister is a purebred aboriginal after all, and must know more about these natives than he and Shirley do.
Gleilint, who had the intention to take the initiative to play, temporarily handed over "2-29" to Joan in advance, just to carry, but if she didn't wear it, it would be fine for Joan to wear it for several days.
Despite playing the role of "Barbarian", Glerlint still didn't do anything to rush in and beat everyone up - that may be the way the "prisoner" is played in Sequence 8.
After admiring the scenery of Cracked Rock Lake for a while, the three of them came to the entrance of the manor.
In the Southern Continent, many manors were barricaded with wooden fences, but of course that didn't stop Glerint from sneaking in, he just didn't want to.
For him, Morgan's assignment was not as important as his role......
After a brief commotion, most of the people in the manor gathered at the door, and there were more than twenty people, all of whom looked at Joan and the leader Glerint with hatred. Their principal was a thin old man in his fifties, with dark cheeks and chapped skin, and gray hair.
"My lord, there really aren't any rebels here."
"I can vouch for it with my faith!"
"Why don't you trust us?"
Chao Qiong, who looked very pitiful, complained. But he actually said this to the leading Glerint.
Joan glanced at Glerint, who didn't interject, and said:
"Then let's go in and check it out, only then can we believe it."
After a slight hesitation, she added:
"And you're not allowed to farm it in the first place."
In response to her request, the old man shook his head like a rattle:
"No, no, you can't go in."
"Get out of the way, or don't blame us for being rude!"
Glerint, who didn't have the heart to talk too much, saw that their attitude was unusually stubborn, so he took a big step forward, and at the same time inspired the majesty of the "Ring of Law", and reprimanded them very harshly.
The majesty that originated from the sixth level of the "Arbiter" sequence made them all tremble unconsciously, and they almost wanted to run away.
However, perhaps because of the large number of people, none of them even gave up their resistance, and some of them were even aroused by Gleilint's ferocity, and their eyes were filled with a hint of fierceness.
