Chapter 616: Investigation Team
Led by Vanswick, Duanmu Huai and Ogis walked through the wailing hall to the guest room on the other side, and as soon as they pushed the door open, they saw two figures.
One of them was a girl with long silver hair, braids, armor and a beret, with a thin sword hanging from her waist, staring restlessly out the window. Next to her sat a little girl with blue braids and a witch-like hat, curled up on the sofa, holding the teacup in front of her, not knowing what she was thinking.
Hearing the knock on the door, both of them looked up and saw Vanswick and Duanmu Huai and Ogis walking in, and they all showed surprised expressions.
"Keep you two waiting."
Vanswijk seemed to be adept at the kind of scene, and he smiled and said hello.
"Just now, the last two adventurers have arrived."
"You're talking about them?"
Duanmu Huai turned his head to stare at Vanswick.
Don't you think of me as a babysitter for kindergarten?
"I'm really sorry, because of the previous attack, our manpower is really insufficient, ah, the original captain was the head of the Silver Knight, but he unfortunately died of illness, so his daughter ..............."
"Amilia, my name is Amilia."
The silver-haired girl turned her head, stared at Duanmu Huai, put her hand on her chest and introduced herself.
"I will lead the investigation team in place of my father."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Duanmuhuai stared at Vanswick silently, his eyes were full of "you tease me", βββ Vanswick only showed a wry smile.
"So, please take care of yourself, I still have to go beforehand."
With that, Vanswick slipped away, and the group stood in the awkward room, staring at each other.
I don't know how long it took for Emilia to cough in embarrassment.
"Since we're going to do it together, why don't we introduce ourselves......... Since me, I've been the Silver Knight Amilia, and I'm still young, but I'm also a full-time member of the Silver Knights, and I know I may be a little unreliable, but I'll try. β
After saying this, Emilia turned her eyes to the blue-haired girl next to herβββ maybe it was because they were all in the same room before, and they were closer to each other?
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Noticing Amilia's eyes, the blue-haired girl sighed faintly.
"Lokihi. Migrutia, I'm the Ringmancer. β
"Warlock?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai's expression moved slightly.
"What department?"
"Plastic energy."
"Plastic energy, ..............."
Hearing the girl's answer, Duanmu Huai was somewhat disappointed, the mages of this world would have a lot of quite magical spells, some of which were even more interesting than the spells used by An and the others. In particular, the spells of the change system, the illusion system, the spell system and the enchantment system are quite interesting.
In contrast, the plastic energy system is .........
To put it bluntly, it's the Five Fireball God Cult......... This kind of power can be achieved by taking a bazooka.
Compared to Duanmu Huai's disappointment, Emilia was a little surprised.
"Are you a spellcaster who has stepped into the Five Rings?"
"That's right."
Lokishi nodded, but didn't say much, just stared down at the cup in her hand.
"Then how did you come to Neverwinter?"
ββ¦β¦β¦ I was just traveling around and happened to be here. β
"That's ........."
Emilia nodded, didn't ask more, and then she turned her gaze to Duanmu HuaiβββWell, I have to say, just from the armor and helmet that Duanmu Huai wears, it doesn't look like a good person."
"Uh, may I ask you ........."
"My name is Duanmu Huai, she is Ogis, and we are from the Inquisition."
ββ¦β¦β¦ Tribunal?? β
Hearing Duanmu Huai's introduction, Emilia was stunned for a moment.
"I'm sorry, but excuse me, what kind of organization is that?"
"To put it simply, it is the organization that protects humanity, and it is the responsibility of the Inquisition to kill demons, heresies, and aliens in order to protect humanity, and this time I received an invitation from Miss Erebeth to come to Neverwinter, and it is precisely for this reason that I came."
Duanmu Huai could sense that when he said "demon", Luo Qixi's body stiffened slightly.
"Hoo ..............."
After listening to Duanmu Huai's explanation, Emilia seemed to breathe a sigh of reliefβββ perhaps she felt that there was finally a professional.
"Uh, Mr. Duanmuhuai, I have a question, why are you wearing a helmet?"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
In the face of Amelia's inquiry, Duanmu Huai fell silent.
ββ¦β¦β¦ Because of the curse. β
"Cursed?"
"Yes, maybe you don't know, I've been a beautiful man since I was born."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Huh? β
ββ¦β¦β¦ When the nurse who delivered the baby saw me, she fainted on the spot, and when I left the hospital, all the female medical staff came out to see me off. When I was in school, the girls in the class would even fight for me, and even the teacher showed unprecedented fanaticism after seeing me, and when I walked on the street, the girls were even more fascinated, they would faint directly just by seeing me, and if I looked at me, they would lose their minds, so for the peace and tranquility of the world, I put on this armor and sealed my handsome appearance..............."
"Uh..............."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Emilia and Lokixi were both confused, not knowing how to react. They looked at Duanmu Huai, and then at Ogisβββ who sat on Duanmu Huai's shoulders and swayed his legs expressionlessly, looking unconcerned.
Really?
"Ahem, ahem......... So, back to the point, our next task is to investigate the source of the plague, do you have any opinions on this? β
Emilia coughed awkwardly and forced back the conversation.
"I want to start by looking at the original report."
Duanmu Huai also gave its own answer.
"Neverwinter must have investigated and documented the source of the plague as well."
"Ah, I do."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's inquiry, Emilia nodded, and then took out a notepadβββ although it seemed a little green, but the preparation was quite sufficient.
"According to records, the plague began to spread in early winter, and at first everyone thought it was just a common seasonal cold, but soon the symptoms worsened, and it was not long before the beggars' nest fell completely. At this moment, Neverwinter has realized that the situation is not right, and Lord Nashr has chosen to close the city immediately, but it is too late, except for the Black Lake District, which is still relatively stable, almost the entire Neverwinter has been infected by the plague......... The plague could not be cured, and even the magic of the priests and priests could not do it in the slightest, so it spread quickly. β
"What about the specific source of infection?"
"Sorry, I don't know much about that."
"So, in the early days of the infection, did anyone go to the beggar's nest for treatment?"
"Uh-huh..............."
Emilia flipped through the records.
"In the early days of the plague, Master Duzel went to the Beggar's Lair to rectify the patients, and he would conduct a free medical treatment for the poor people in Neverwinter every year, which is why he discovered the extraordinariness of the plague and warned the Lord of Nashel in time."
"Master Duzel?"
"Yes, Duzel. Master Caedus, a well-known and respected Grand Druid in Neverwinter. β
Druids are indeed better at dispensing medicines and curing diseases.........
"So where is this great druid now?"
"I've heard that he left Neverwinter to find a cure for the plague......... I don't know the specifics. β
"Well, then, I suggest we go to the Grand Druid's quarters."
Duanmu Huai stood up.
"Since he's an expert in this area, he may have a record of the early days of the plague, and maybe we'll find some clues in it."
Emilia didn't feel any problem with Duanmu Huai's proposal, and quickly nodded and agreed.
They first went to the druid's quarters in the middle of Neverwinter, only to be told that they hadn't been back for a long time, but the janitor still gave Emilia and the others the news that Master Duzel had a place in the Beggar's Lair to treat the sick, and if there was any record, it should be there.
It has to be said that when she first heard the news, Emilia was still very embarrassed, after all, as a local resident, she also knew about the situation of the beggar's nest, where not only were there mountains of corpses, but even undead creatures appeared. Now that the garrison and the Knights have completely sealed off the beggars' nest, it may not be easy for them to enter...............
However, when the group came to the gate of the beggar's nest, they saw a group of people happily walking inside.
"What's going on?"
Seeing this scene, Emilia also hurriedly asked the guard guarding the door.
"Isn't the beggar's nest completely blocked?"
"Ah, Miss Amilia."
Seeing Amelia, the guard smiled as well.
"Thanks to those adventurers, actually."
"Adventurers?"
"That's right, wasn't there a group of adventurers who had been on the orders of Miss Erebeth to find something missing? Not only did they wipe out the undead creatures in the beggar's nest, but they also cleaned up the cult inside, and now the beggar's nest is barely peaceful, so everyone has begun to go home again. β
"That's good, that's good."
Hearing the guard's answer, Emilia was also relieved, after all, she also knew that it was very difficult for refugees to leave their homes, not to mention that these refugees had been living on the streets outside, and it was not a thing, and now that the danger of the beggar's nest had dissipated, everyone had gone home, which was somewhat of a good thing.
"Can we go in too?"
"Of course."
Duanmu Huai and the others also had the permission of Ms. Erebes, so they easily entered the beggar's nest, and then, according to the previous prompts, the group finally found the "hospital" of the great druid.
It was a warehouse building in a corner of the beggar's nest, the whole building was sealed, the gate was locked, and there were even thick chains, and it was a little surprising that there was such a complete building in a place that looked even dirtier than a slum.
"It's a problem now, there's no key........."
Looking at the iron lock, which was almost bigger than her head, Emilia was also a little embarrassed, but just as she was thinking about what to do, she saw Duanmu Huai reach out, grab the chain, and then pull it suddenly!
"Boom!"
The next moment, the thumb-thick iron chain suddenly broke, and then Duanmu Huai directly opened the wooden door and strode in.
"Huh? Mr. Duanmu! It's illegal to trespass like this!! β
"Now is not the time to care about these little things."
Duanmu Huai walked into the warehouse and looked around, and at the same time, a gleam flashed in his eyes.
Of course, he didn't just come here to look for clues, and even ......... Duanmu Huai is here to find evidence of guilt.
That's right, after listening to Amilia's introduction, Duanmu Huai suspected that the great druid was probably the prisoner.
The reason is very simple, if it is related to the Corrupted Dirt, it must not be wrong to find a doctor, if the other party is not a friendly army, then it must have betrayed the enemy!
So, let me see if this great druid is innocent.
