Chapter 445: A Different Harvest
PS: Thank you for the reward from Injury Chai and Sun Tiandi!
Li Ang didn't expect that his grandfather and father's indulgence of himself was originally for this reason, so he couldn't help but be excited for a while. But after a few moments, he was relieved, and soon realized that his grandfather's investigation of the organization was the direct cause of his eventual death.
In this way, the Redfield family is the killer sent by the "claws of twilight".
Leon looked at the thickness of the paper in his hand, quickly flipped it back, and in a cursory browsing, he learned that Darren's friends had died mysteriously within a year for various reasons, and the number of them had reached six in total. In this case, some of his friends have left Darren, and in the end he is left with only a few people, including Morun, and his investigation is made more difficult by losing most of his help.
However, there was no danger during this time period, and finally there was no more bad news, and Darren understood that this was just because the other party thought that he was no longer a threat, so he didn't make a move, so as not to make too much noise and attract more people's attention.
The old earl still did not give up, after his perseverance in the pursuit, and even did not hesitate to buy off the head of the underground forces in the royal capital Chester, he finally obtained some vague information, and after synthesizing this information, the target was directly aimed at a high-ranking figure in the kingdom.
This person has always been called "he" in Darren's pen, probably because Darren is not very sure, and he is afraid that there will be a subconscious impact on his writing. The old Earl then began to investigate further with a few pieces of broken information that were not clues at all, and finally ended up near the "Gilded Rose" on Chester's 14th Street. One of the freelance mercenaries he hired saw a somewhat familiar face.
The Earl of Bambroft, though only a glimpse, conveniently disappeared into a dark alley next to the gold-encrusted roses. But the mercenary had seen the old Earl's portrait drawn by someone, so he felt that this person was somewhat similar to the Earl of Bambrovt.
The uncertain mercenary reported back to Darren, and the old earl immediately informed a few friends to go with him to the "Gilded Rose", a casino where Darren, who had never been in such a place, wandered around for a long time and never found anything. So after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to go to the Minister of War again. Let the authorities come forward to thoroughly investigate the people and background of the casino.
Leon turned to this page, and when he looked back, it was already the first page, and he knew that there was no more. Because after my grandfather wrote this paragraph, he never had the opportunity to return to the place where he had lived since childhood.
Because he and his last friends all died in the assassination incident.
"It seems that this is one of the most important goals of my grandfather in this decade. He has put in countless efforts to achieve this. But no one understood, but he brought death to himself," the young man picked up a piece of tissue paper that he had specially pulled out from the side, and said softly: "You don't want me to see it because you don't want me to know the truth, you don't want me to take revenge, and you don't want me to follow your path and continue to walk." â
Leon sorted out the somewhat messy paper and put it in his dimensional bag along with his diary and tactical cards. Then he looked at a few oil paintings on the opposite wall.
"But I'm going to go down, not for the country. It's for my own home......"
Then he looked at the tissue paper he had left behind, on which a pattern was drawn.
In the center of the pattern is a stout claw, surrounded by several lines that show the shape of clouds and mist, and a question mark on the right side of the bottom. This is the symbol of the "Claw of Dusk" that Darren drew in the middle of the account, and the overall pattern is exactly the same as the symbol on the double fourth-order professional that Leon met in the underground cavern, and at that time there was a silver number 23 in the place of this question mark.
Leon crumpled the paper into a ball and said, "...... They ruined my home, and they had to pay the price. â
......
After a while, Leon's affection slowly replied, and he got up from the bed and walked to the two large boxes. He had been in the secret room for most of the day, and he estimated that it should be afternoon, and it was almost time to leave.
Leon put his hand on the somewhat cold copper lock, unscrewed the lock with a little force, and lifted the lid of the box.
Seeing what was inside, the young man was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but smile, and then stretched out his hand and took out a small wooden sword less than half a meter long from it.
"They were all toys from when I was a kid...... No, these are not, they should ...... It should have been my father's toy when he was a kid!"
This box is neatly stacked with all kinds of toys, and they are all boys' toys at first glance, these things have long disappeared from Leon's memory, but he didn't expect to find his memories in a large box in his grandfather's secret room.
Leon sighed again and put the little wooden sword back, he found that since entering the secret room, he sighed more than ever before.
Although he didn't find anything useful in the box, it brought him a different kind of fun and felt another side of his grandfather's warmth.
Then he smiled and opened the box next to him, but this time he was a little stunned - there were a few things in it, these should be the magic items that the old earl used to use back then.
The first thing that catches your eye is a belt, the style is quite simple, and after Leon examined it, he found that this is a very practical piece of equipment.
Type: Intermediate Magic Item (Belt/Armor)
Name: Efficiency belt
Additional Effects: Increases Strength 1, Body lĂŹ2, Increases Protection 1
20% increase in effect when drinking potions"
This piece of equipment is definitely not obvious when drinking the primary alchemy potion, but as the level of the potion increases, its effect should become greater and greater, and it may not have much effect on the old earl, but for Li Ang, who has such an alchemy master as Kaka, it is simply a rare thing.
Underneath the belt is a pair of leather boots that look like they were from the army.
Type: Intermediate Magic Item (Boots/Armor)
Name: Boots of the Wind
Additional Effect: Increases Agility by 2
Additional Ability: Rapid Movement (once an hour)"
"Rapid March: You will start sprinting at twice your usual speed for one minute, or sprint at three times your usual speed for 30 seconds
- Beware of falling!"
These boots are a good thing for Leon, probably with his grandfather's courageous character...... It is estimated that there are not many opportunities for use.
There were several scrolls on the side of the box, and Leon examined them separately, feeling a little surprised.
One of them is the "Intermediate Group Healing Technique", one is the "Intermediate Single Body Teleportation Technique", the other is the "Summoning Holy Sword", and the remaining three are the "Tenacity Technique", these scrolls can be attacked, defended, and teleported, which is really a surprise.
There were no other things in the box, in fact, if you think about it carefully, these things are not precious magical equipment for a field earl, and it seems a little shabby to put it in such a large box, but Leon is very satisfied. Because he knew that his grandfather was not rich himself, and with his character, he could not do anything to embezzle the spoils of war in the wars he had experienced, and he had been maintaining an investigation since then, and he was a little unable to make ends meet, so it was not easy to leave these things.
Leon put the contents of the box into the dimensional bag one by one, then he stood there and thought about it, and then went to the side and took a few simple toys and put them away. In the end, he stood in front of the portraits of his parents and looked at them for a while, and decided that when the castle was completed, he would come and bring back the paintings and the things left by his grandfather, as a memorial to the past.
In fact, these magical equipment may be bought with any money, but the portraits of the family members and the small items that symbolize the honor of the old earl are the most precious finds of this trip.
Next, Leon blew out the lights and strode into the dark chamber, appearing in an alley next to his grandfather's house.
It was indeed past noon at this time, and there seemed to be more pedestrians on the road than before, and Leon walked up to a middle-aged man and asked for the direction of the tavern in the town.
The middle-aged man looked pleasant, and quickly clarified the location, but Li Ang could always feel a trace of impatience hidden under the other party's gentle attitude.
And this attitude should not be because Li Ang is blocking his way, but because of an irritable feeling for outsiders, Li Ang can't help but start to wonder. But he didn't speak directly, because the middle-aged man was already impatient, and doing so would only cause the other party to be more disgusted.
Revealing the identity of the lord?There is no television in this world where you can see the big people outside at any time, and if it is possible for the sheriff to know him, he may be suspicious if he talks to other townspeople.
So Leon thanked him very politely, and then strode in the direction that the other party was pointing.
The town was quite small, so small that a minute later he saw the one that was not much different from the other houses when he was close to the center of the town.
Of course, there are not many people in the town, so the tavern is converted from an ordinary two-storey house, and it is estimated that the first floor is a simple small tavern, and the second floor is the owner's home.
But in front of the tavern, Leon saw a different sight.
There were twenty or thirty men, most of them rugged and sturdy, carrying all kinds of weapons, each of them holding a large glass of ale in his hand, sitting or standing against the outer wall of the tavern, some of them gathered in twos and threes to whisper, some of them talked and laughed loudly with each other, and some of them leaned on the window of the tavern and looked in.
Seeing Li Ang walking towards this side, their eyes were focused on this young man, and these people's faces were alert, and their eyes were quite fierce.
"Where did this person come from?" Li Ang was a little suspicious of the identity of these people, but since the other party had no other superfluous movements, he walked silently towards the door, as for those eyes that looked over...... There is no pressure on this young man.
The double-opened wooden door creaked under Leon's palm, and the young man who appeared at the door also attracted the attention of everyone in the tavern as well as the sound and the light that spilled into the room. (To be continued......)
