On Thursday, Roy learned about a party they had through Sijon.

This is a gathering of the believers of the Earth Church.

Not only the merchants of Fenerport, but also some of the followers of the Earth Church that have developed in the local area.

Ms. Sijon wants to bring Roy into the church.

Ms. Xiqiong did not disclose the specifics, but Roy learned through follow-up observation and divination that the time should be Tuesday night.

But not every week, this is up for debate.

Roy decided to keep watching.

In this way, a few days later, Roy's first "mystery study meeting" after coming to Beckland arrived.

At six fifty p.m., he confirmed that no one would visit, and ascended to the temple of mystery.

Roy first confirmed the condition of the Mysterious Temple.

During this time, there was no special person praying or asking for help, and he did not take the initiative to seek and contact new points of light.

The people he is in contact with so far are enough for him to be busy.

In the past ten minutes, a flood of information has swept through.

After a whirlpool, three figures appeared above the hall at the same time.

Crane bowed upward.

"Good evening, Dear Hermit."

"Good evening, Mr. Hermit, good evening, Mr. 2, Mr. 3."

Furth immediately greeted him.

The next moment, "No. 2" also said hello.

Roy glanced at Firth, she looked looking forward to it, it seemed that she had gathered some mysterious knowledge or news during this time.

The torrent of information gently swelled and represented his greetings.

At this time, Furth smiled and said, "Three, I have collected a book on psychic rituals. ”

“……”

Klein changed his stance.

Psychic rituals.

He has learned a lot of psychic knowledge, and I don't know if he has learned the ritual of "No. 1".

Not long after, Furth took out a piece of paper and shared it with everyone.

Roy looked at it, then his eyes froze.

This is the ritual of the Spirit Order.

"Do you know what this is, gentlemen?"

Furth asked.

"This is the Spirit Dance ritual of the Spirit Order, no matter where you got it from, it's best to stay away because it may have something to do with the Spirit Order, these crazy people have been doing something terrible lately."

Roy admonished.

Klein couldn't help but look at "No. 2".

He also saw that it was a "spirit dance", so he was not too surprised by the first half of Mr. 2's sentence, and what made him curious was the second half of the sentence.

The Spirit Order is also doing something terrible?

Do what?

Resurrection of the Grim Reaper?

Klein frowned and said, "Miss No. 1, where did you get it?" ”

"An accident."

A consultation, unfortunately I can't say it, it may reveal my real identity.

Furth said in his heart.

She thought for a moment and said, "In this case, this knowledge should not be counted as something to learn from this exchange, and I will replace it with another one." ”

"No need, although it is useless, it is indeed the mysterious knowledge of the Spirit Order, which is in line with our rules."

Klein said, also embodying a piece of knowledge.

"This is a little bit of experience in this area that I have summed up according to my own ability."

Roy picked it up, and then his emotions were a little tense.

Emotional and expression control.

Joker, huh?

It seems that Klein digests quite well.

Also.

Performing a real clown act in front of Azik and Roy may help him digest.

Roy thought teasingly.

He exchanged a study of "magic".

These are some of the little things that Roy learned when he dismantled and studied spells through Furth.

After reading it, Klein and Foirth looked at "No. 2" in surprise, and then the two of them said one after another: "Thank you for sharing, Mr. No. 2." ”

This experience is very precious!

"Nothing, just a little research on my own."

Roy said with a smile.

The three absorbed the knowledge contributed by the other two.

Then, again, Forth took the lead and said: "There have been several homicides in the East End of Beckland, and it is not clear who did it for the time being, but there should be an element of extraordinary involvement. ”

"It's a trace of the scene."

Furth said, embodying memories in the form of memories.

After reading it, Klein and Roy tacitly changed their positions.

This angle.

Miss No. 1 was an eyewitness at the scene!

The two were silent for a moment.

Then, Roy said: "We are not detectives, we can't see anything from the pattern alone, but the other party is very neat, and the difference in strength between the two sides may be very large." ”

Klein thought for a moment and said, "Did Chillingus find it?" ”

"No, I can't find it at all, and I followed Mr. 2's instructions and haven't tried it since."

Furth said truthfully.

Klein thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe it was Ziringers who did it." ”

"So Zilingers is still in the East End?"

Furth's expression froze.

Roy nodded: "Quite possibly, did you do anything since last time?" ”

"No, I told my friend, and I didn't get involved anymore, but my friend may have reported it to the church."

Foer pondered the trajectory and rumors of the day, and spoke of his own speculations.

"It's possible that he did it, squirming hunger, hehe, from the name, this extraordinary object may have a negative effect on killing."

Roy said his "conjecture".

Crane nodded approvingly, and then, he looked deeply at Miss "No. 1" and re-deduced Miss No. 1's identity.

He had thought that the other party was also a nobleman.

But.

Now, No. 1 may not be an aristocrat, but a middle-class person who is qualified to go in and out of aristocratic gatherings and meet Miss Justice-

Normal aristocrats don't go in and out of slums like the East End late at night.

"So, Ziringers could be in the East End?"

Klein thought for a moment and said, "This kind of person should be eliminated sooner, otherwise more and more people will be killed." ”

"yes."

Furth sighed.

Afterwards, Klein recounts the attack on the Immatu Heart by Ms. M on the Tingen side, and Roy tells some of the things about the Colosseum in Beckland.

Then, the memories end, but Klein asks to stay for a while.

Roy canceled the trumpet.

Crane respectfully embodied the five pages of his diary, and continued, "Mr. Hermit, I learned by chance that Ziringus' goal might be an item that would help him rise to the rank of the Four Kings. ”

Actually—

The hanged man reported the incident to him today, hoping to get his attention and the help of his dependents, but Crane couldn't help.

His "dependents" were also in Tingen to take care of Captain Dunn.

You can't let Mr. Azik leave Dunn, can you?

Klein had no choice but to turn to Mr. Hermit for help.

Roy took the diary and threw it on the side shelf, seemingly having no interest in reading it, just as a collection.

Klein quietly glanced at the other party, and saw that the other party didn't seem interested in this topic, and continued: "Mr. Hermit, do you know what he trades? ”

"A blasphemy card from Russell."

An indifferent voice rang out.

Klein used his clown ability to control his emotions, and he was quite shocked in his heart.

Blasphemy card!

Really.

What surprised him was that there was such a mastermind behind the scenes, willing to take out the blasphemy card as a bargain.

But.

In this way, Mr. Hermit may not be too interested.

He thought regretfully.

Then, Klein pondered for a moment and then asked, "Dear Hermit, I would like to know what Chillingus's goal is. ”

"The tide of the times."

The hermit smiled lightly.

What do you mean?

Klein looked dazed.

The hermit sighed, and the next moment, everything in front of him turned into a torrent of information and dissipated in front of Crane's eyes.

Tingen, Klein looked sullen.

He wanted to scold.

At this moment, Klein and Russell empathize -

In the future, the Riddler will see and fight once!

Of course.

He understands it well.

With Mr. Hermit's temperament, he should not have enough chips to give, and he doesn't have enough chips in his hand for the other party to exchange.

Klein sat in his chair and fell into a long thought—

The tide of the times?

What do you mean?

He frowned, trying to think about some information about Ziringus, and then thought of Roy's speculation.

Kill a person, or destroy a thing?

Furthermore.

With the ability to pay for a Blasphemy card, and most likely the Sailor's corresponding Blasphemy card, the person behind the scenes is by no means ordinary.

What is their purpose?

The tide of the times......

"Maybe they're trying to push something in the direction they need."

"The tide of the times."

"Is Mr. Hermit reminding me that someone wants something to go in the direction he wants, so let Ziringus do it."

The thought flashed through Crane's mind like a thunderbolt.

If that were the case, he probably understood.

At present, the only thing that Rune is vigorously promoting is probably the repeal of the Grain Act.

But.

Industrialization and the repeal of the Corn Laws are the trend of the times, and it has swept across Rune, and most civilians are enjoying its benefits.

Of course.

There is also pain.

But in general, the trend is towards abolition.

If the tide of the times is like this, then the opponents are naturally the enemies, and Ziringers may also be the ones who are fighting against the "abolition".

Namely, the Conservatives.

Klein combed his thoughts, only to feel that his eyes were becoming clearer and clearer.

He pushed the door open and entered the hall, intending to talk to Azik about Ziringus, only to see that Mr. Azik seemed to have just finished a ceremony.

Hearing the movement, Azik looked up with a smile on his face.

"Dunn will wake up tomorrow at the latest."

"Great!"

……

Roy glanced at the diary.

Most of the key information in the five-page diary has been read, but there are some inconspicuous pieces of information that he cares about very much.

"Green is gone."

There is no date, only one sentence.

It can be seen that Russell was not in a good mood when he wrote this sentence, and it is difficult to judge what kind of "departure" Green's "departure" is just from the text.

died, or went somewhere else.

It seems that—

Unless you can find the diary from before this page, it's hard to know where Green has gone.

The reason why Roy cares about "Green" is that he feels that the other party seems to be inextricably linked with him.

Finding this connection may be able to figure out the various circumstances and origins of yourself and the mysterious temple, and help you determine the subsequent development.

Pity.

This is just Roy's intuitive thinking, and it may not be true.

The trail is now broken.

Since Green is separated from Russell, it may be difficult to see any more descriptions of Green in his diary later.

Roy returns to reality, sorting through the clues that Tilly has sent these days.

He wrote down all the clues on paper.

According to Tilly, there seems to be little movement from the Werther Party lately.

Yesterday, a large amount of new grain was purchased at the Jingui Distillery.

This means......

The Louyère family compromised with the grain merchants and bought large quantities of grain at higher prices.

Roy vaguely felt-

It doesn't end so simply.

His conjecture became a reality in less than half a day.

Late at night, a roar came from far and near.

Roy immediately got up and went to the window, only to see a faint fire rising to the south side.

That's—

Gard Street!

Roy immediately remembered the location of the position.

Gard Street, where the merchants of Fenerport lived and stockpiled their grain, was also the place where fires had been reported before.

But.

The previous fire, according to Tilly's description, was fierce but not so big.

There's a drama to watch!

Roy immediately jumped out of the window, jumped onto a platform downstairs, and nimbly headed in the direction of the explosion.

About ten minutes or so, he reached the vicinity of the explosion.

It is a single-family house on Gard Street by the Tasok River, with a relatively large yard.

The one who lived in it was a great merchant of Fenerport.

However.

At this moment, the entire villa was blown up, the whole land was turned up, and the flames were blazing above.

Even.

When Roy arrived, there was another small explosion underneath.

He watched for a moment, then laughed silently.

Louyère family......

Absolutely!

It is likely that the merchants of Fenerport hoarded the "burned" grain in the basement of the villa, and then all the grain was blown up in the basement.

But.

Just an ordinary explosion that could not have caused such a wide and terrible explosion.

Unless the Louyère family or the Werther party have the ability to plant explosives for a long time and make them undetectable to the Ferneport grain merchants.

It's hard—

It is likely that the bodyguard group of the Ferneport Grain Merchant has extraordinary people.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

What a funny scene!

The fire in the factory finally became a reality, and now these grain merchants are really suffering heavy losses.

Although the Louyère family's winery may also face financial constraints, perhaps this is what the other party wants.

However, another possibility is not ruled out.

This was not done by the Louyère family, nor was it directed and acted by Ubano himself, but a third party added fuel to the fire.

Suddenly, in the firelight, Roy saw a figure quietly disappearing into the alley.

Who's that?

He narrowed his eyes and opened the Ring of Concealment to track it down.

After a while, he saw a middle-aged man, clutching his chest, staggering towards Gard Street.

The corners of Roy's mouth lifted slightly.

He walked over and emerged from the darkness.

"Sir, you seem to need a little help."

"You, you ......"

The other party looked up.

He was charred and covered in burns, and his injuries were clearly not light.

The man in front of him was dressed in a long robe and wore a pompous silk hat, looking like a wizard in the story.

He opened his mouth.

I want to ask for help, but I am afraid that the other party is an enemy.

"Do you need help?"

Roy asked again.

The other party nodded numbly, unable to speak.

On the one hand, there is fear and pain.

On the other hand, his mouth was filled with flames and burnt flour, and he was now in a relatively suffocating stage.

Roy extended his spirit, took out an extraordinary material from his pocket, and then used a simple healing magic to roughly heal the other party's injuries.

And then—

Boom!

One punch.

Roy hit him in the stomach lightly and heavily.

"Gross!"

He vomited incessantly, a mass of mushy stuff wrapped in his gastric juice and vomited, turning into a mass of pitch-black filth.

The middle-aged man vomited repeatedly, and after a minute, he collapsed on the ground.

"Yes, I am saved!"

He sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

Then, the man looked up and said gratefully, "Hello, respectful and mysterious sir, my name is Sozer, thank you for your help!" ”

"Nothing, I just happened to be passing by."

Roy smiled, "Looks like your granary has been attacked. ”

"Yes, damn the Werther Party!"

Sozer was annoyed, "All four of my men died in this explosion, damn it, the Werther Party will pay for it!" ”

"Seeing you recover, then I'll leave."

Roy didn't seem interested in what he said, smiled slightly, put on his pompous hat and prepared to leave.

At this time, the other party suddenly shouted.

"Wait, sir! Please wait a moment! ”

Suozé's eyes lit up and he said, "Sir, are you a wizard?" I've heard a lot about you at sea, and I don't know if you're ......"

"I'm not from the Morse Ascetics."

Roy said lightly, "What's wrong?" ”

"Sir, can you help us!"

"Mr. Ubano is also in need of help. ”

In the shadows, the corners of Roy's mouth lifted slightly.

He looked back.

"Why should I help you?"

"Mr. Ubano has a lot of money, and he has a lot of extraordinary materials, which is why I follow Mr. Ubano."

Sozer Road.

Roy smiled, looked back at him deeply, and said, "I'm interested in a deal." ”

"Huh?"

"You're a warrior?"

Roy had a small smile on his face.

Sozer was silent for a moment, then nodded lightly and said, "I am amazed by your wisdom and insight, I am a warrior of Sequence 9. ”

"I happen to have a Sequence 8 Gladiator's potion recipe here, do you need it?"

There was silence in the air.

Then.

"How much do you want?"

"For four hundred and fifty gold pounds, it's yours."

Roy Road.

"Yes!"

Suozer was categorical and unhesitating.

Then, he was silent for a moment and said, "Sir, you really don't think about ......"

"It's a nuisance."

Roy shrugged, "I hate trouble. ”

Suo Ze sighed and said, "Okay, but I don't have any money with me, can you allow me to go back and get the money?" ”

"Yes."

Roy didn't refuse.

He followed Suozer slowly, escorting him all the way to a nondescript two-story house on Gard Street.

It's more like a place for the poor.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that the big grain merchant "Ubano Mohan" would actually live here.

Roy leaned against the dimly lit lamppost, a book in his hand, quietly waiting for Sozer to get the money back.
