"Translation?" Wayne asked, stamping Jerry's wizarding codex and looking at Lacey.

"Well, it's from the second department, I've already asked someone to inform Arianna, I'll send it to you later."

Wayne nodded, "Oh, good. ”

He didn't expect that in the past day, there would be a translation job at the door.

Fortunately, I have found other ways to make money, otherwise I would have starved to death if I counted on translation to make money.

"Next, let's start with Marco. The murderer in the Idrisu neighborhood before, the people of the warhead have been solved, you go over and finish it. Lacey flung out a piece of parchment and landed it precisely into Marco's hand.

Marko picked up the parchment and looked at it, "Those guys at the warhead aren't bad, it only took five days to solve that pervert." ”

"I'm just an ordinary believer in the Sect of Desire,"

Lacey pouted, "Hurry up and take a look, if those bastards make some more small moves, I will definitely not let them go this time." ”

"Got it."

With that, Marco stuffed the parchment into the box and changed into fancy clothes and prepared to go out.

"What are you doing here?"

"Sir Lacey, I have seen the situation in the morning, and if I go out in the uniform of an inquisitor, I will not be scolded to death by those people. You won't let me do it, so I can only choose to keep a low profile. ”

“…… Let's go, hurry. ”

"Okay."

Marco shook his hair and went out with his suitcase in a coquettish stride.

Hearing their conversation, Carly's expression darkened, "......"

Shouldn't devout Dawn believers be kind, generous and merciful?

She didn't understand why those people were so angry...... If it's just because you haven't taken the path of faith, shouldn't you look for the reason in yourself?

Lacey didn't pay attention to her expression, and continued to arrange: "And then there is Wayne, then this one is yours - a new commission application from the Seres family." ”

The Serres family?

The wealthy nobleman who involved the Vázquez clan and had a lot of money?

Wayne took the parchment and asked suspiciously, "I remember the last time the developer wasn't pointed at that Luteger?" ”

"That's right, but he's been killed by the same gang last time. That's why old Serres had to find us again......"

At this point, Lacey paused and said as if to something, "Well, their commission fee this time is 100 gold pounds. ”

Wayne's eyes lit up, "100 gold pounds?" Okay, I'll go over and have a look. ”

So if all goes well, can he get - 25 gold pounds?

It is worthy of doing maritime trade, and the family is really rich.

"But I need to warn you," Lacey said with a serious expression, "this is the first time you and Tina have gone out together, remember to take care of her." ”

"Okay." Wayne glanced at Tina, and saw that she was still trying to shove the cookie into the clown doll's mouth, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

Hey, it's a doll, not a pet!

"Finally Carly...... I'll take you to the Basil neighborhood, where there's a new case to investigate. ”

"Well," Carly nodded obediently, "I'll learn from you." ”

"Don't worry, I've got you covered." Lacey patted the towering hanging bell and said proudly, "Pack up your things, let's go now." ”

Excluding the identity of the Church of the Dawn's Saint-in-Waiting, Carly's personality can be seen as a kind lady.

Therefore, Lacey did not have much ill feelings towards her.

"Okay."

Carly is like a freshly enrolled student, who doesn't have any independent ideas other than studying, and obediently packs her boxes.

"Let's go,"

Lacey had just taken her out of the office when she looked back at Wayne, "I almost forgot to tell you, remember to give Yegor last night's report." ”

"Okay, I'll go to the minister later."

"Don't forget, or the old fellow of Balatz will send someone to urge him again, but he has arranged all the work very carefully. And ......"

Lacey glanced at Tina, "If you can't solve the problem with the commission, you might as well let Tina turn on the 'Vision' and try it." ”

"I made a note of it." Wayne nodded.

When the office was completely empty, he looked at Tina next to him, "It's noon, go to dinner?" ”

"Tina isn't hungry, Joker, hungry."

“……”

Wayne looked at her and still wanted to stuff the biscuit into the clown doll's mouth, and asked tentatively, "Why don't I help you find a pair of scissors and cut its mouth open?" ”

The white-haired girl turned her head straight to look at him, "Tina, yes." ”

Her voice had regained its previous coldness, and even walking was no longer bouncing.

Wayne pretended to open the box looking for scissors, "Then I'll try." ”

He also played such a game as a child, and every time he could coax the little girl next door to laugh very happily.

"Look, let's try it with these scissors...... Uh, can it open its mouth? Wayne held up the air and looked at the cookie in the clown doll's mouth, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Tina also noticed this, looking at the clown doll and nodding, "Ugly, hungry." ”

"That's right, it's good to be able to eat cookies."

Wayne lowered his hand and looked at the clown, especially its mouth, remembering that it seemed to be stitched up before, right?

And the clown doll seemed to be looking at him too, its red button-made eyes, staring at the "scissors" he was holding in his hand, and its fluffy and red-painted mouth seemed to twitch as well.

In a trance, Wayne seemed to hear a strange tone of words: ", playful, fun, I like ...... Next time I'll treat you to a cookie, dry!

Just as he wondered if it was a hallucination, a message appeared in his mind.

[You are in indirect contact with the Forbidden Item 1-83 Demon Clown, and the trajectory of your fate has changed to a certain extent, and the current encounter progress is 60/100.]

Comment: I seem to have seen you being beaten up by a demon clown, well, it must have been full of joy.

Special Rewards: Survival Point +10, Origin +1, Tenacity Level +2, Spirit Level +2. 】

Seeing this prompt, if Wayne still doesn't understand that clown dolls are taboo items 1-83 demon clowns, then he would be a fool.

No, is it something that can be carried around like this?

So...... It wasn't a hallucination just now, was it the real demon clown talking to him?

Want to give him cookies?

Why, don't bring such a playful person!

"That Tina, do you feel like you should be nice to him, maybe he doesn't really want to eat cookies?"

The white-haired girl tilted her head to look at the clown doll, as if she was really thinking about his suggestion, "Joker, eat blood." ”

Blood? What blood?

It can't be the one he thinks, right?

Wayne was silent for a long time, deciding to give up discussing anything with her about the Demon Clown, "When I'm done with Captain Arianna, let's head to the Natori neighborhood." ”

"Tina, yes."

You know, but the clown doesn't necessarily know......

Wayne looked at the information on the panel depressedly, Tina carried the forbidden things with her, Lacey should know about them, right?

Let this combination of calamity and taboos run around without fear of taboos getting out of control?

Dancing ballet on this inappropriate wire rope is a heartbeat......

In the future, I will resolutely not recruit this clown again, and I will jump out to face you face to face at every turn, who can stand this?

Wayne let out a long sigh, this matter must have been arranged by the secret department, maybe in their opinion, Tina was safe with the clown?

Thinking about it this way, his depressed mood improved a lot.

"Lacey, I'm here."

At this time, Captain Arianna, who was investigating the second department, pushed the door in, glanced at it, and wondered, "What about your captain?" ”

"The captain just went out to work, you're here to deliver the epoch relics, right? Leave it to me. She had already explained to me before she left. ”

"Over to you?"

Arianna hesitated, put the scroll in her hand on his desk, and reminded, "Be careful, don't break it, and when the person she found finishes translating, remember to have someone send it to me." ”

"I'll pass that on to Captain Lacey." Wayne nodded, and said that Lacey didn't reveal who the translator was?

"And this, the translation fee is 2 gold pounds, and you can also give it to her."

"Okay."

Wayne put these away, the money and things are mine, what to hand over?

When Arianna was gone, he was ready to open the parchment and look at it.

Now he was used to dealing with the relics of the era, and he was no longer in a hurry when he first saw the Gonzares.

Wrapping his hands in mental power as usual, he carefully opened the parchment roll, and after making sure that nothing unusual had happened, he removed his hand from the musket at his waist.

I remember when I first joined the company, a resentful spirit popped out of the parchment that Lacey opened casually, and I was really impressed.

"Pat, Leigh, Sisch, Naxi, Ster, Mead......"

Wayne glanced at it, and couldn't help but frown, there was a Gonzales language he didn't recognize.

But instead of giving up or adding points to improve the Gonzarez level, he tried to decipher the word himself.

He also remembers that the proficient Gonzales language had a 20% success rate for words he didn't know.

"Venoch? Should it be pronounced as this, meaning 'sea of blood'? ”

You have successfully unlocked a new Gonzarez vocabulary. Evaluation: Knowledge is not just about acquiring knowledge, but also about learning to use it, congratulations on finding the right way to acquire knowledge. Special Rewards: +2 Survival Points, +2 Gonzares. 】

The corners of Wayne's mouth twitched, "The interpretation is correct, I am sure it is the meaning of the sea of blood." ”

And the irony on the panel, he didn't see it.

Of course, he knew that knowledge had to be used more to become his own, but the problem was that he had to have that time and opportunity.

"Keep going."

"Barrow, it should be a person's name...... Oh, Deadpool, yes! ”

"Nisva this ...... Fleet? ”

You have successfully unlocked a new Gonzarez vocabulary. Appraise...... Special Rewards: +1 Survival Point, +1 Gonzalez. 】

In less than ten minutes, Wayne unlocked five new words through a before-and-after comparison, as well as a combination of previously read epoch relics, and his Gonzalez proficiency level progress increased by 5.

"The approximate meaning of this epoch relic is that the Cromwell family fleet, sailing on the Sea of Cordor, discovered the existence of the Sea of Blood, near an island called 'Kent'......"

"From the sea of blood, an endless stream of Deadpools swarmed and devoured the fleet, leaving only one battleship named the 'Hafes' to escape."

But when they searched again, they couldn't find the sea of blood...... Disappeared along with those engulfed ships? ”

Wayne looked at the translation, and what was written on the parchment didn't seem to have much effect.

What kind of sea of blood, Deadpool and the like, things that have disappeared, can they still come back?

He only finished one job, and after confirming that it was correct, he put away the two pieces of parchment, and took the newly earned 2 gold pounds in his hand, and got up and said, "Let's go, Tina, let's go to the Natori neighborhood." ”

"Tina, go."

The white-haired girl took his hand and walked out, still dragging the clown doll with the other hand.

It's good, it's like being dragged around like this, and it seems to be a good experience, and it has inspired me to play with some new things......

Before leaving, Wayne did not forget Lacey's advice, and took out the report that had already been written and knocked on Minister Yegor's door, "Minister, this is what happened last night......

"Just put it on the table,"

Yegor took a cigar in his mouth and poked his head out from under the thick newspaper to take a look, "You're teaming up with Tina?" ”

"Hmm," Wayne glanced at the clown doll and asked after a moment's hesitation, "What is this doll?" ”

"You got it?"

"Some, guess, so it's really ......"

"It doesn't matter, just don't do anything too much to it." Yegor replied lazily.

Wayne nodded, it seemed that cutting off its mouth with scissors was too much......

"I know what to do, Minister."

"Well, the other person from the Church of the Dawn, the next time we meet, remember how far and how far you run, he's not something you can handle right now."

"Understood."

With that, Wayne turned away with Tina.

Of course, he knew that he had to avoid Melbel now, but the two of them were like natural conflicts, and they would always bump into each other on inappropriate occasions.

That is, now Wayne's strength has not reached the ministerial level, otherwise Melbel would have to eat a few guns......

……

……

Without Lacey this time, Wayne and Tina couldn't enjoy the benefits of the mechanical wheel.

However, he didn't plan to walk over on two legs, but extravagantly stopped a carriage and enjoyed the treatment of the middle class.

"Mr. Inquisitor, where are you going?"

"Natoli Block, No. 32."

"Serres Manor?"

"Yes, you know?"

"There are often gentlemen who come by boat from out of town, and it is one of the places we go to the most. You and this young lady, please sit tight, and we are leaving. ”

The coachman wore a black top hat and a cheap gown made of coarse fabrics, but this did not affect his service attitude in the slightest.

"Sir, you must have attended yesterday's celebration, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Then you dare to wear this uniform that represents the identity of the investigator......"

Wayne was dumbfounded, "You said this, but I met a lot of people who were very dissatisfied with what happened yesterday morning. ”

"Not to mention dissatisfaction, those gentlemen who have a lot of money blocked the door of the newspaper early this morning, demanding that the truth of yesterday be revealed."

The coachman was very talkative, and while steading the two bantams steadily, he said: "In the Ruhr neighborhood, there are even quite a few Dawn believers gathered there to find you trouble. ”

"Fortunately, it was discovered by the city guards in advance, otherwise this would have become the front page of tomorrow's Custer newspaper."

"Really?"

Wayne knew those people were angry, but he didn't expect them to become crazy.

"But most people are quite sane, and for Dawn, uh, this may be a little inappropriate......

"You want to say that the people of the Church of Dawn are domineering?"

The driver was silent, "In fact, all we can see is the increasing cost of candles month by month, as well as the bad news that happens from time to time from the people around us. ”

"And for the Church of the Dawn, maybe they're really protecting us, but ......"

Wayne snorted, "There must be a lot of people who think like this, right?" ”

The coachman seemed pleased with his attitude, and continued: "Yes, in our Laos...... Ahem, I mean people who live not far from the Laos neighborhood aren't very interested in Dawn. ”

"Relatively speaking, we prefer the doctrine of the Storm Church - to be born in the midst of endless storms, thunder and lightning."

Laos neighborhood?

"There must be a lot of Storm believers in Custer, right? Like you Vázquez? ”

"Of course, I ......"

The coachman glanced back at him, his eyes under the brim of his hat full of apologies, "Sorry sir, I didn't mean to hide it, I just wanted to complete this business......"

"It's okay, I'm sorry for what happened to the Vázquez family."

Whether it was the Aldousse race, or the Vázquez race, or his own Sarut race, Wayne didn't feel much of it.

Not to be as hostile to the Vázquez as Arianna.

"Bloodlines are innate, not something you can control......

"What?"

"It's nothing, you don't have to worry about that, you just need to get us to our destination safely. It's your job, isn't it? ”

The coachman said gratefully, "Sir, you are the kindest person I have ever met to us. ”

The friendliest?

Wayne didn't think he had done anything friendly, and it seemed that the Vázquez were in a really bad situation.

"I remember the other day, a lot of things happened in the Laos neighborhood, there must be quite a few of you there, right?"

"Indeed,"

The coachman's expression was gloomy, "There are quite a few companions, involved in those damn fights, sorry, I didn't mean to swear." ”

"I understand, can you tell me more specifically? A lot of people left? ”

"What would you like to hear......

Listening to the coachman's calm recounting of the previous night's events, Wayne figured out what Claire and the Cult of Despair had done in the Laos neighborhood that night.

The Desperate Cult's Actor is responsible for getting those people out of the sanctuary, and the Red Moon Church is responsible for transforming them into slaves of the Red Moon.

And Claire, who actually controlled everyone at once - this is true, the strong fight, and the imps suffer.

Fortunately, the Ghost School did not set up a station in the Laos neighborhood, otherwise it is really hard to say whether he would have survived.

But what made Wayne most curious was the Red Moon Church, the ability to forcibly change the appearance of the human body, how strange it was.

It gave him the feeling that it was like a positive transformation of the polluting power of the red moon.

Perhaps, the believers of the Red Moon Church can freely use the polluting power of the Red Moon?

If that's the case, then believing in the Red Moon Church is a good choice......

"But even with so many deaths, there are still many companions willing to flock to Laos every day, at least there is a place to block the red moon."

"And where were you before?"

"It's in the mountains east of Custer......"

The coachman hesitated, did not continue, and said, "In two minutes, your destination will be reached." ”

"Okay."

Wayne wisely did not choose to continue to ask, the people in the city-state are living so hard, and outside the city-state, I don't know what kind of purgatory scene it is......

"Welcome to the next ride, it's a pleasure to talk to you so much."

"Me too."

Wayne and Tina got out of the carriage and pulled 8p from their pockets and put them in the cardboard box in front of their seats, "Goodbye." ”

"Goodbye, friendly Mr. Inquisitor."

Watching the carriage drift away, Wayne took a deep breath and knocked on the door of Seres Manor.

Just like he thought before, there are too many miserable people and things in this world, and he has no way, let alone ability, to think about them.

It's just that after hearing this, he has a new understanding of the Red Moon, the Dawn, the Eternal Life Society, and the Despair Sect.

It seems that Claire is telling the truth, and in some places, the Cult of Despair is the Orthodox Church.

Because only then can they live.

Perhaps, this is the reality of this world......

"Investigator Wayne, Mr. Sayam has been waiting for a long time."

It was still Collins, the old butler of the Serres family, who opened the door, with a little dissatisfaction in his words.

Other than that, however, he did not exhibit any other anomalies, not even psychic perception against Wayne.

"Hmm."

Wayne just nodded, and took Tina into the carriage and led by Collins to the manor.

To be honest, Wayne took his first team-up mission with Tina very seriously.

But it was the case of the Seres family that was being dealt with, which also made him have to be vigilant.

He knew very well that this would not be a simple task to find a lost item, and that it would most likely be attacked by the Vázquez like he had done last time.

Therefore, Wayne can only show himself as well as possible, and can't show the slightest sign of 'I'm a rookie', otherwise it will be difficult for this case to go smoothly.

In that case, he would have lost more than 25 gold pounds......

"Investigator Wayne, thank you for your intervention last time, otherwise Mr. Sayam would be very angry about letting those people escape from the manor."

Seeing Collins take the initiative to mention the crew of the Black Pearl that he killed last time, Wayne's eyes flashed with suspicion, and he replied cautiously: "It's just that it happened to be there, and they were also hostile to us first." ”

"Anyway, thank you for your help." Collins sat down in front and turned back to him and nodded in thanks.

"You're welcome."

Wayne noticed Tina on the side, his eyes fixed on Collins, and his brow couldn't help but furrow.

He knew that Tina had the ability to distinguish the truth and falsehood of other people's words, so the white-haired girl's eyes now expressed that those words were fake?

Thinking of this, Wayne shook the white-haired girl's hand and gently shook his head at her to signal not to speak.

"Tina, yes."

“…… Ahem, Butler Collins, I don't know what Mr. Sayam has entrusted us with this time, well, what exactly is he going to do? Or do you want to get the idol back? ”

"When you see Sir, it will be clear. Until then, please forgive me for not being able to answer. Collins looked back apologetically, and for a moment his gaze seemed to be on Tina.

"Okay, I'll just ask."

At this point, Wayne lost interest in continuing to talk to him.

In a few moments, the carriage rounded the huge fountain and stopped under the main building, where a middle-aged man dressed in the distinctive costume of the nobles of Châtland was already waiting for them.

"Mr. Ramiro, the two investigators of the Secret Investigation Division have arrived."

[You are being scanned by Ramiro Serres' psychic perception.] Reward: +1 Survival Point. 】

Without being reminded by Collins, Wayne already knew the identity of the other party, and took the initiative to speak: "Hello, I'm Wayne Loft of the Investigation Department of the Secret Investigation Division, and next to me is my companion Tina Klosterman. ”

Ramiro glanced at the two of them a few times, and a trace of impatience flashed on his face, "The secret division sent you two little guys over?" ”

Wayne had a formulaic smile on his face, "Yes, Mr. Ramiro. But please rest assured, since you have taken over your family's commission, the Secretary of the Secret Investigation Division will do its best to solve it. ”

Although he was a little dissatisfied with the other party's attitude, for the sake of Jin Pound, he would forgive him this time.

But doesn't the information say that the first heir to the Seres family has reached the age of 56?

But he looked to be only 30 years old—a typical Aldous build, tall and stout, with a thick beard on his face and slightly curly brown hair.

His eyes, in particular, were unusually bright brown, as if they had some kind of magic that could see through people's hearts, making people dare not show any hostility towards him.

"Collins, take them over to your father, I won't go, and I'll send someone to inform me of anything." Ramiro dropped this sentence and turned around and went into the house, as if staying here any longer would be the greatest insult to him.

"Yes, sir."

After Collins bowed, he turned his head and said in relief: "Don't mind, Mr. Ramiro is very sad about the sudden death of Young Master Ruttger, and he has not been in a good mood recently. ”

Wayne nodded noncommittally, there was no sadness in this young master Ramiro.

"Please follow me, Mr. Sayam is now in Master Lutger's room,"

Then Collins led the two of them down the hall, "Please be careful with the tone of your speech later, I hope you understand the feelings of a father who has lost his son." ”

"Well, I can understand."

Wayne casually followed him all the way to the door of a bedroom on the east side of the third floor.

When, dangdang.

"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Sayam, your guest has arrived."

"Come in." A hoarse voice with a slight vicissitudes sounded from inside the door.

"Please, I won't bother."

Collins whispered as he opened the door.

Wayne bowed slightly, pulled Tina and walked in, looking at the man standing by the window with his back to them, "Sir Saiyam? ”

It is rude to call sir.

Thinking about it, he had no choice but to call him knighthood.

"Sit." Saiyam didn't turn around.

Wayne was stunned, but still found a chair to sit down with Tina.

Compared to the dimly lit room where the idol was kept, the bedroom belonging to Luteg was much brighter.

Unlike the living room outside, which is full of skeletons of sea creatures, the décor here is more ornate and elegant, with a dark black tone throughout.

The black wooden bed, the black sofa, the chairs, and even the main color of the pictures hanging on the wall for decoration are black......

It seems that this young master Lutege is either good at scheming, or likes to disguise and escape.

Thinking so, Wayne noticed that the person lying on the bed at this time was probably the one who had died at the hands of the Vázquez man.

Much like Ramiro, with slightly curly hair, a fair complexion, thick eyebrows, and a high nose, but his figure is thinner.

From his posture, it can be seen that he is at least very careful about body management......

"Ruttger is my favorite son. Calm, introverted, excellent, intelligent...... is one of my most recognized heirs. ”

After a long time, Saiyam turned around and said in a low voice, "But he died, and he was used as a scapegoat......

"I entrusted you to come this time, hoping to avenge him."

"Forgive me for taking the plunge, I remember that the people who hurt Lutge last time have all been left in the manor?"

Wayne observed that the ruler of the Seres family just saw that face, and he knew that it was a man with a domineering personality.

Compared to his two sons, Saiyam's figure is not tall, and the two deep nasolabial folds next to his neatly trimmed beard reveal an authoritative and confident temperament.

"Not enough, those people are just pawns."

Saiyam was also looking at them, but not with the contempt of Ramiro, "Find them, I'm going to make them pay." ”

"What else?" Wayne asked quietly, "Is it all commissioned to find these people?" ”

Saiyam stared at them, his expression becoming more serious, "Your performance is obviously more satisfying to me than your age. What's your name? ”

"Wayne Love, an ordinary investigator."

"Wayne?" Saiyam chewed on the name and thought for a moment, "I remember you, you were there last night......

"Oh? Have you heard that too yet? ”

Wayne was really a little surprised at this time, and thought that no one paid attention to the killing of Ognyan, but he didn't expect these nobles to even know such a small thing?

That's not a good sign.

"For the Secret Division, for the Church of the Dawn, presumably in the city-state of Caster, no one will not care."

Sayam walked back and sat down on the couch, "To answer your question, in addition to finding those people, the more important thing is the idol. ”

"I hope it will come back to the Serres family again, it's a legacy item that is very meaningful to us, and we can't afford to lose it."

Wayne smiled, "What else?" ”

"What more do you want to know?"

"At the moment, all I know about the last investigation, can you provide some clues about your son Lutger's theft of the idol?"

"Again, how much do you know about the identities of those people?"

Wayne spread his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I hope I didn't embarrass you with these questions." ”

Saiyam's eyes flickered slightly, and his face was much more serious than before, "I'm glad that a capable inquisitor has arrived at Seres Manor......"

PS: Thank you for the pretense, I'm not the reward of the two big guys of Fan Ye, thank you very much.
