Chapter 150: A Town-wide Search
"My lord, this is the wood carving." Master Horst took the wood carving and examined it carefully, and although he could feel that it was special, he could not tell what was so special.
If I had to show a little, it might be the eyes of this heroic woman on the wood carving, but other than that, Horst didn't even notice any magic on the wood carving.
It's just a normal item! It's just that the materials from the elve's side are used, could it be that the unknown caster behind this matter is the elf?
Horst thought of this possibility, after all, there had been conflicts with elves in the early days of territorial development, but that was nearly a hundred years ago, and with the arrogant character of elves, it was unlikely that such a thing would be done.
After thinking about it, Horst decided to return the corpse and the wood carving to the mage tower first, believing that even if it was really an elf, they would not want to make ghosts in the mage tower.
"Mrs. Patty, if there's nothing to do, let's get ready to go, and have someone take me to see Fairbers first, and then I'll pack it in a dimensional bag and take it with me." As soon as he heard this, Pativ's eyes immediately turned red, and tears couldn't help but overflow.
"My lord, can you let me send it over myself?" Maybe it was the tears of the woman who moved Horst, or maybe it was because he thought that there were five possible corpses behind him, and he couldn't come forward in person, so Horst didn't force it, but,
"Yes, but I'm going back to the Mage Tower soon, you have to arrange it as soon as possible!"
"Yes, thank you, sir!" Lady Patty thanked her and immediately arranged for the mann to transport Fairbers' body to the Mage's Tower.
In the meantime, Mage Prest had already left first, along with the two mages in the middle.
…… On the other side, Xia Duo, who was investigating the Liaton Chamber of Commerce in the Eastern District, did not know that just a moment after he left, the situation had changed again.
What was originally just a private matter for the Fairbers family has now become a territorial affair. Unaware, Xia Duo is still inquiring about news in a store in the East End!
With the ornate and delicate decorative robes on his body, Xia Duo was received like a VIP in the store.
Therefore, it was easy to find out the news, after all, he just wanted to have a general understanding of the surface situation first, and the real goal was actually on the wood carving.
As long as you find the masked man who stopped him at the Moon Festival and ask about the role of the wood carving, you may be able to get closer to the truth!
As for the leather shop, Xia Duo's first step was to go there, but unfortunately the owner has changed, and I don't know if the original Turner ran away or was killed by the masked man.
In short, Xia Duo started simply, inquiring about the news of the Liaton Chamber of Commerce, if it was too troublesome to find clues, then he would simply give up, there were already 400 gold coins on the task voucher, and almost half of the task indicators had been completed.
He was already content. Perhaps it was Xia Duo's casual attitude that made the clerks in this store full of expressiveness, all kinds of strange stories and news, and they came as soon as they opened their mouths.
And this happened to fulfill Xia Duo's wishes, and he didn't need to open his mouth more, so as not to fall off. Of course, he still had to drop the box when he left, because he only came to inquire about the news, and he didn't really want to buy anything.
Seeing that the clerk dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and had to accompany the smile on his face, Xia Duo was still a little reluctant, and after praising the mausoleum clerk for a few words, he quickly went out and left.
The whole set of actions is done in one go, and there is no mud and water at all. Next, Xia Duo kept wandering around the East End, feeling that a certain store might know the news of the Lieton Chamber of Commerce, so he went in and asked, and if he was interested in a certain product, he would also go in and have a look.
In this way, Xia Duo even experienced the feeling of shopping on earth, and it was rare to have a leisure time when someone paid for him to shop.
After some inquiry, Xia Duo already has a general understanding of this so-called Liaton Chamber of Commerce, which is not a chamber of commerce for individual consumers, but a chamber of commerce that specializes in facing the chamber of commerce and providing convenience for the chamber of commerce.
Somewhat similar to Alibaba on Earth, the Liaton Chamber of Commerce provides a channel for the local Chamber of Commerce in Savile to go out, of course, only from Savile to Connefila City.
Therefore, although Liaden is not well-known among the people, it has a very high status in the eyes of various chambers of commerce.
It's just that now the owner of such a very high-status chamber of commerce has died mysteriously, and even the murderer may not be able to be found.
Not only does he have to survive in the wilderness, but he also has to be under the threat of spellcasters at all times, which also makes Xia Duo more sober, and not mastering magic in this world is only the last thing after all.
After getting the general information of the Lieton Chamber of Commerce, Xia Duo prepared to go back to the Mage Tower to change his clothes, and then went to the tavern in the South District to inquire.
Inquire about the masked man he met at the Moon Festival, the owner of the leather shop who is actually a stolen goods shop, and the mysterious wood carving.
But as he walked out of the store, he came across a group of soldiers passing by the storefront, and one of them left the line and came to Xia Duo, first saluting Xia Duo, and then shouting inside, "Have you ever seen a wood carving in the form of a woman?" On the other hand, the soldier also took out a wooden stick and gestured to the clerk inside,
"Almost this big, brown, have you ever seen it?"
"No, no!" The clerk's slightly flustered voice came out,
"My lord, the shop only sells candles, and it has nothing to do with statues!" Just now, a group of soldiers passed by the door, and the clerk also saw it, knowing that this matter was not something he could mix, not that he had not seen it, even if the wood carving was in his hand, he did not dare to admit it.
Who knows if there is a risk of losing your head! And Xia Duo, who was about to leave at this time, also slowed down slightly, and there were soldiers searching for wood carvings?
Something happened to Mrs. Patty? Xia Duo was a little worried, not worried about Mrs. Patty, but worried that his investigation just went in vain, and as for the 400 gold coins on the mission voucher, he was not worried.
He received the money from the mission management office of the Mage Tower, and presumably Mrs. Patty needed to top up the money in advance when she released the mission.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo quickened his pace again, and the soldier behind him continued to ask, his voice became weaker and weaker, but he didn't need to go far, Xia Duo met a soldier who had just come out of the shop.
After saluting Xia Duo, he left in a hurry. As for Xia Duo, he didn't stop at all, and went straight to the villa area, he wanted to go to the Albers villa first to see what was going on, how the soldiers in the territory were dispatched!
He didn't believe that just one merchant's widow could attract the soldiers of the territory, especially now, Xia Duo knew that the lord could not be contacted at the moment.
Something big must have happened here. ……
