Chapter Ninety-Nine: Hidden Dangers
Of course, the greatest credit in this battle is Alfred himself, who not only fought bravely himself, but as his follower, Wilder, who was not part of the Rune army system, was also credited to his name.
The second is Glerlint and Athena, two of them, one of whom has made great contributions to early intelligence, and the other has repeatedly won in frontal battles with the "Oath of Justice".
Count down to Morgan, and they're all about it.
As for the most unlucky, it should be the "living corpse" Rivera, who played soy sauce all the way, with no gain, only a little subsidy for participating in the war......
For the acquisition of loot, it is more cost-effective to choose physical goods than cash, because most of these items are not highly valued, only about 80%-85% of the market price, because how to sell safely and at a high price is also a big problem. Don't look at the fact that many extraordinary people are willing to pay a lot of premium in order to buy the extraordinary characteristics they need. Conversely, there are also many people who take extraordinary properties that they don't need, and look around for extraordinary people who want to buy them.
After some deliberation by the judges, Alfred was given a £10,000 "Dead Bone Whistle", which is an obvious sequence of five-level magical items. Although it didn't perform well in this battle, its value will not be reduced because of this. In addition, he took a copy of the extraordinary trait of "Werewolf" for 1,000 pounds.
Glerint was entitled to £6,500 worth of booty, while Athena was slightly lower at £6,000.
In the end, Glerint chose to hand over 1,500 pounds, and obtained the extraordinary trait of "Wraith" worth 8,000 pounds. This thing, as long as Glerint fed it to an animal and separated it with the "delusional seed", was worth far more than 10,000 pounds anyway.
In addition, another benefit for Glerint is that thanks to his very brutal fighting methods to intercept the "dead corpses", his "Barbarian" potion has digested some more, and it is expected that it will be completely digested in no more than 10 days.
And Joan, who came with Glerint, was only slightly better than Mick, and like Rivera, who received the "consolation prize", he received a share of the spoils worth 500 pounds.
……
And in this battle, what puzzled Glerint the most was Morgan's attitude.
He seems to be quite positive?
Judging from the information and intelligence seized from this group of members of the "Rose School", the name of the "resentful spirit" who attacked the branch before was Calis. He was not, as Glerint had previously suspected, a member of the "temperance" faction who defected from the "Rose School". According to Glerint's review of the relevant information, all signs show that Calis is an ordinary member of the "Indulgence", and he did not defect, but only disappeared for no reason.
And the most frightening thing is that, according to the divination results of the "Rose School", Calis died as early as October last year......
……
……
He's dead?
A dead man attacked a division of MI9?
Are you kidding!
Has he been replaced by something unknown?
Or is it an enemy who is attacking the branch with both the extraordinary ability of the "Resentful Spirit" and the ability to "change face"?
There shouldn't be many people with the extraordinary ability of "changing faces"?
"Esoteric Order"?
Thinking along this line of thought, Glerint suddenly discovered a detail that he had missed before, that is, Darnell easily sold him a "different face pocket watch" before, as if he was no stranger to the extraordinary ability of "changing faces"! Does that mean that the Intis intelligence organization operating in the southern continent should at least include some members of the "Esoteric Order"?
In this case, it would be wrong for me to guess that there were few "soothsayers" in the Southern Continent. Earlier, on the way to Verteck led by Gleilynt and Joan to Vulteke, the attacker they encountered was most likely a "Faceling"!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Alfred and Morgan in the secret room.
Originally, Glerint only wanted to see these materials and information alone with Alfred, but unfortunately, Morgan did have permission to read them.
"Did you find anything? Gleilint. ”
Morgan noticed his anomaly and couldn't help but ask.
Both of them, still immersed in the "Calis is dead" puzzle, seemed very puzzled as to why a dead man could attack a MI9 branch.
"Who are the extraordinary intelligence organizations of Intis in the Southern Continent?"
Glerint asked, continuing to look at Morgan and Alfred.
"Intis Intelligence Mission?"
Morgan repeated his question in a strange way, and then began to describe:
"They have two extraordinary ways in their hands, which are 'hunters' and 'soothsayers.' The hunter's path is good at intrigue and fire manipulation, and his mouth is stinky......
'Fortune tellers' are very good at divination, and there are some strange but very applicable 'magic', well, their sequence seven is 'magician', and I don't know more about it. ”
Alfred's eyes lit up, and he added:
"I know that their Sequence Six is called 'Facelings,' and they can change their faces and change their bodies to a certain extent."
Then, he made a reasonable guess:
"In that case, the person who attacked your branch was not Calis, but a 'Faceling' who held a magical item made of his extraordinary properties?"
"Or another 'resentful spirit' who holds a magical item corresponding to the extraordinary properties of the 'Faceling'."
Morgan rubbed his chin and added:
"That way, we can explain why I encountered the 'Grudge' immediately after I encountered the 'Hunter' Pathway Sequence Five. It's highly likely that the 'Wraith' who attacked us got a magical item from his partner that could change his appearance. ”
The two of them speculated, and Glerint had actually thought of it after Morgan confirmed that there were many members of the "Esoteric Order" in the Southern Continent. However, in order not to reveal the fact that he had long known the characteristics of the "soothsayer" approach, he still nodded in agreement, pretending to be suddenly enlightened.
At the same time, according to such a line of thought, Gleilint also has a very reasonable idea. That is, the enemy is a "master puppet" who has manipulated the secret puppet of the "resentful spirit".
Thinking of this, Gleilynt couldn't help but ask:
"Captain, was there only one person who attacked you that night? Is that right? ”
Morgan groaned for a moment and said:
"The enemy who attacked our branch was indeed a man, and there is no problem with that."
"Lord Basel once borrowed '2-14' to notarize that I was not lying, and then with the help of information from the spirit world, I retraced the previous battle, and the result was indeed only one enemy."
"In other words, there's no such thing as 'I only see one enemy, but there is a hidden enemy'. Or 'I actually saw multiple people, but my memory was modified.'" ”
He affirmed that he had ruled out multiple possibilities, and showed that he was not lying, and that there was indeed only one enemy who attacked the branch that night.
If your subconscious mind knows that there are "multiple enemies", but your conscious mind is modified, then "only one enemy" you state will also be judged as a lie under "notarization".
This is troublesome, if the enemy is really the "secret puppet master", the result of the spiritual information feedback should indeed be "one person", after all, the "secret puppet" is just a tool of the "secret puppet master", but it makes no sense that Morgan can only see one person, unless this "secret puppet master" is also controlling the secret puppet with the ability of "stealth".
And there are so many possibilities in this that it is completely impossible to guess.
Abandoning the idea of a "master puppet" for a moment, Gleilynt turned to think about the pros and cons of Alfred and Morgan's speculations. The difference between the two of them in their guesses is whether the "nature of the enemy" is a "grudge" or a "faceling", and in this regard, Glerint instinctively trusts Alfred more than Morgan, who is already in question.
Of course, he will not completely ignore the other party's conjecture because of this.
