The streets are full of people.

He didn't come out for two days, and Roy felt like he was in a different world.

"Sir, what's the matter?"

"Fenerport fruit wine."

"Okay."

He ordered a glass of fruit wine, sat in the bar at noon and listened to the people chatting around him, and for a moment—

Roy thought he was back at the Black Iron Bar.

I don't know what happened to Suna.

He sat down at the bar, and there was a newspaper on the table, which should have been left by the previous person after reading it.

Bridge Daily.

There is also a special newspaper on the bridge?

Roy picked it up and looked at it.

"After a close investigation, the murderer in Riverbend Park is a member of the Morse Ascetic Society, an evil god organization......"

The corners of his mouth twitched, then he continued to look down.

There's another piece of news at the bottom.

"A serious explosion occurred at the Golden Cinnamon Distillery, and the fire killed hundreds of employees, and it is currently suspected that the Morse Ascetic Society and the Aurora Society were committed by the evil god organizations."

At the bottom, there is one more line of words.

"At present, the Aurora Society has claimed responsibility for this matter."

Hundreds.

Responsible for the matter......

Roy looked at the newspaper and fell silent for a long time.

The absurdity of this world is far beyond his imagination, and a well-planned attack may have killed a dozen people in total.

As a result, there were hundreds of people when they were reported.

However.

He couldn't say anything.

"Hundreds of lives!"

"Aurora Society, Morse Ascetic."

"Hey, these evil god organizations are really getting more and more excessive."

Roy drank his drink, walked out the door, sighed softly as he watched the streets, and then walked down Gard Street.

The old place on Gard Street is now empty.

But.

He knows where to go—

The low house is opposite the manor that goes out.

Outside, he lowered his hat and knocked on the door.

After a while, a middle-aged butler came out, and when he saw Roy's dress, he first saluted respectfully, and then said, "Sir, my lord has been waiting in the manor for two days. ”

"The first two days were busy."

Roy smiled, then followed the other into the manor.

Arriving at the manor's villa, Ubano walked out briskly, a look of surprise on his face.

"Mr. Wizard, you're finally here."

"Call me Green."

Roy didn't take off his hat.

Although he has a beard and other disguises on his face, he may not be able to hide it from a veteran like Ubano.

Ubano said in a pleasant tone: "Green, my friend, I have been waiting for your news for the past two days, but I have always been unable to wait, I thought you had left the Southern District. ”

"Not yet, but I don't want to get involved in the Jingui Distillery for the time being."

Roy's expression was serious.

Ubano was not surprised, he sighed: "When I read the newspaper, I knew that what you said was right, and we couldn't afford to mix it. ”

Hundreds.

Outsiders saw the cruelty of condemning the Aurora Society and the Morse Ascetics, but as those who experienced it firsthand, they felt a chill in their hearts.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Get out of Beckland."

"Actually, if I hadn't wanted to wait to hear from you, I might have left." ”

"I don't think I'm that important."

This sentence......

Roy didn't believe a word.

Who is Ubano?

He may be cowardly, but he is definitely not stupid, and it is absolutely impossible for him to give his life to wait for a collaborator.

Ubano smiled helplessly.

"It's strictly forbidden on the docks, and I heard that it's a search for lurking pirate lieutenant generals, so I want to ask you if there is a way."

"Neither do I, and the best thing to do is probably to find the pirate lieutenant general as soon as possible."

Roy shook his head.

Even if he was still in the Steamchurch, he wouldn't have the authority to let a big ship go—

The docklands have always been in charge of the Storm Church.

He pulled out a piece of paper.

"Do you have any of these materials here?"

"I'll see."

Ubano glanced down, then smiled and said, "You have a potion recipe?" ”

"No, I'll use it for witchcraft research."

Roy naturally couldn't tell the truth.

Some of these materials are the main materials of the soothsayer -

After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to give Tilly the "Fortune Teller" potion.

The soothsayer's negative effect is relatively low, and he has completely mastered all the recipes for promotion, so he doesn't have to worry about subsequent promotions.

The premise is that Tilly can be promoted to a relatively high rank.

Ubano was clearly not convinced.

"Take such a precious and extraordinary material to study witchcraft?"

There are several extraordinary materials in Roy's list that he doesn't know what the sequence is, but one or two are the main materials of the Barbarians.

A single plant of mad grass costs three or four hundred gold pounds.

Take this thing and study it?

Have a mine at home?

"It's a very common occurrence among wizards."

Roy replied helplessly.

Ubano scratched his beard, the shock in his eyes could not fade, and after a few seconds he said, "Let's be straight, I want to buy the extraordinary characteristics of the bribe in your hands." ”

"A thousand gold pounds."

"My friend, you're well suited to be a pirate. No! Robbery can make you money quickly, it is worth 1,003 at most! ”

Ubano said angrily.

Roy smiled, "One step each, one thousand four." ”

“……”

Ubano waved his hand weakly and said, "It's a thousand fourteen, but I want you to do me a small favor." ”

"Let's talk first."

Roy didn't say yes right away.

Beckland stepped into a minefield, like this time to do a favor, and directly stepped on a mine.

"Have you heard about the recent serial killers? ”

This point in time.

Should it be Ziringers?

Roy nodded quietly.

"I've heard of some."

However, the opponent's active area is not in the South District, but more in the vicinity of the Beckland Bridge District and the East District, and the target is the homeless, which does not have a great impact on them.

Roy understood and smiled, "Your friend has cooperation with the police department?" ”

"Yes, he's a well-known detective, and he's a believer in the Church of God of Knowledge and Wisdom."

"I was in the South Side when I first opened up the situation and was in his affection. ”

"I promised."

Roy is not sure of the other party's identity for the time being, but he has a rough guess in the direction -

"Eyes of Wisdom" Issinger Stanton.

Of the detectives that Beckland is known for, he is the only one who knows a "fireman" like Ubano who is more likely to know.

After all, this old gentleman has a deep connection with the Knowledge Church.

"Thank you, one of my subordinates is a barbarian, but he has never been able to find the formula for the potion of the bribe, although the extraordinary characteristics are dangerous, but it is also a way."

Ubano breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be nice if you had a bribe-taker potion recipe......

The Sequence 7 potion recipe is basically eight hundred pounds.

Pity.

The potion taken directly by Saimen cannot obtain recipe information through divination.

……

Roy got the contact address.

Hilston District.

Most likely, it's the Eye of Wisdom.

He put away his letter and got into the horse-drawn carriage bound for the steam subway.

In the car, Roy took out Stormwind Villa and sat quietly reading a book.

After a few seconds, he jerked his head up.

A "teenager" of about 1.5 meters pressed his hat.

？

Roy stared intently.

The etheric body is very healthy and much stronger than the average person.

This height ......

Stop?

He withdrew his gaze and looked ahead with his spare eyes as he read the book.

The "boy" probably knew that he had been discovered, so he did not observe him again, but sat quietly diagonally opposite.

Up to the Hilston district.

They got out of the car together.

The two met at the door and walked in the same direction again.

Finally came to a corner.

She suddenly pulled out a three-edged thorn and stabbed it quickly and quickly at the stalker behind her, and the momentum she exuded was enough to shock most ordinary people.

But.

She didn't seem to intend to hurt anyone, she just wanted to subdue the people behind her.

However.

What she didn't expect was-

Roy moves faster.

In the blink of an eye, he closed the book, avoided the three-edged thorn with his right hand, and quickly slapped the opponent's wrist, and then shouted first.

"Miss, I'm visiting Detective Isengard!"

"Ugh."

Hugh's face instantly stiffened, and he immediately put away the three-edged thorns, and then bowed and apologized repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to visit Detective Isenger too."

Roy gestured to the front, then put away the book.

Issinger's home is not far from the steam subway.

Hugh awkwardly followed.

She watched carefully, and when she saw Roy observing all the way, she immediately understood.

"Is this your first time here?"

"Well, I was commissioned by a friend to visit Detective Isenger."

Roy nodded.

Hugh sneered: "It's not the first time for me, I'm here to lead the way?" By the way, my name is Hugh Dilcha, and I often take on the business of helping with news. ”

"Green Rost, kind of detective, consultant."

Roy slowly followed.

Temporary detective.

Message, Divination Advisor.

He added from the bottom of his heart.

Hugh had heard of "consultants" for the first time, but he understood that it was supposed to be the type of advice he was supposed to give advice to, so he didn't ask much.

She quickly led the way ahead.

Not long after, outside a house, Hugh stopped and knocked on the door.

After the doorbell rang, a few seconds later, a middle-aged and elderly man with gray temples came out and opened the door, holding a pipe in his hand.

He stared intently at Roy, then down at Hugh.

"If you still find that serial killer, you don't have to pay, I received an invitation from the police department, and I will help the police department solve the serial murder case."

Then, Isenger looked at Roy, "Are you?" ”

He didn't recognize Roy.

But.

Based on some abilities and judgments, he thinks Roy is an extraordinary man, and he may be very strong.

Roy took out the letter.

"You asked Ubano for help, he entrusted me with this, and I will be responsible for tracking down this serial killer with you."

Issinger took the letter.

After some scrutiny, he nodded slightly.

Indeed, it is my own faith.

"Come in and talk."

He smiled mildly, kindly.

Hugh hurriedly said, "Detective Isenger ......"

"Sorry, I have a guest today, if you need to entrust it, please come back another day."

"It's-"

Hugh was stunned for a moment.

Feelings for their own hard work, and being a leader all the way?

She was stunned for a moment.

Roy said thoughtfully, "Detective Isengard, who claims to be well-informed in the East End, may also be helpful in solving the case. ”

"Well, then you wait in the living room first, I need to follow ......"

Isinger was slightly apologetic, "By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet." ”

"Green Rost."

"Green, let's go upstairs to the study and have a detailed chat, some information is inconvenient to disclose to the outside world."

"Okay."

Roy followed as he turned back and nodded at Hugh good-naturedly.

Then he followed him upstairs.

Inside the study, Roy noticed a number of documents on the table, most of which were murder-related materials.

But.

He noted......

There is a document that appears to be a sign of murder by a demon dog -

The victim's internal organs disappeared.

This is the ritual of the Sequence 5 Apostle of Desire.

Roy looked at the rest of the documents quietly, and Isenger smiled, "Mr. Green, take a look at the documents first?" ”

"Okay."

Roy picked up a document and began to look at it.

This should have been killed by Ziringes, and the identity of the deceased was an inconspicuous homeless man, in fact, Zilingers's behavior and habits have always been like this.

Until—

He was discovered.

After reading a few copies, Roy said, "The documents on the table shouldn't be the same murderer, right?" ”

"Huh?"

Isinger was slightly surprised, "You just read a few books to make sure they're not a murderer?" ”

Roy smiled.

"Of course not, I know a little about one of the cases, and I know that he likes to kill people in the bridge area and the eastern district, but ......"

"The other case is not a region, and the targets and habits of killing are completely different."

He picked up another document.

"The other deceased were all vagabonds, and the bodies of the deceased were not much damaged, and it can be determined that the murderer was either psychopathic or had a reason to kill."

Roy said.

Knowing that the result is reversed, basically everyone will.

How did Esinger know Roy's details, so he naturally had some respect and suspicion for Roy's quick thinking-

Could it be that the other party is also a keeper of knowledge?

He pondered for a moment, and finally came back to his senses at Roy's shout, "I'm sorry, your words made me think, but the other murderer was not once, but twice. ”

He took out another document from the bottom, "This is a document from the police, and it is said to be a relatively confidential document, so I put it at the bottom." ”

Roy took it and looked at it.

It was another corpse whose internal organs had been eaten, largely unrecognizable, and she was a woman just like the first one.

"The other party is more inclined to kill women?"

"The sample is too small to make a rash judgment, but for now, the murderer seems to have a tendency to do so."

Isinger hesitated for a moment and said, "First of all, I want to ask, do you know about mystical powers?" ”

He understands Ubano.

Since the other party introduced this "Green" over, it means that he is definitely not an ordinary person, but an extraordinary person.

It's hard to say how it will be.

But.

It was definitely better suited to deal with this than a hunter, so he wanted to do it in a more direct way.

"The extraordinary? Slightly heard. ”

The two glanced at each other and knew each other.

Isenger bowed his head and said, "I've also studied some of them, do you think it's possible that some ritual magic is?" ”

"I once read a book about a creature called a demon who loved to kill people and eat their internal organs."

Roy Road.

Demon?

Issinger fell into deep thought.

Knowledge of this sequence......

The pipe in his hand shook uneasily.

Issinger remembered part of it.

When the demon is promoted to Sequence 5, it does seem to be in a similar situation.

This may be some kind of "ritual" required for promotion.

If that's the case.

Two cases are not the end, but only the beginning of the murder.

Isinger was silent for a moment, and said, "If that's the case, this demon is too hateful, and he may kill more people." ”

"So we need to get him out, but until then, I think we can solve another case first."

Roy pointed that way.

Zillingers is good at investigating.

The existence of the negative effect of "Creeping Hunger" makes him have to kill someone every other day, so his trajectory can be inferred from the distribution of the dead.

Issinger nodded silently and revisited the two cases.

Catch "Ziringers" first.

This Lieutenant General of the Hurricane!

Of course.

He is only responsible for providing information.

"Green, I need your help."

"I accepted the commission, and of course I will help you."

……

Hilston, a small estate of luxurious villas.

Chillingus ripped off a man's clothes and put them on himself, and in a few moments, his body and face changed to the appearance of a man on the ground.

No matter the height, looks, or temperament, they are all exactly the same!

Ziringos exhaled softly.

He's going to have to do it!

If you wait any longer, you may not need to assassinate him, he has already been found by the police first.

The police are not scary.

But.

The Night Watchman, the Substitute Punisher, and the Machine Heart behind them are terrifying.

After all—

This is Beckland.

The strongest of the three major churches are here.

If it weren't for that thing, he would never have set foot in Beckland, and tonight there was a chance.

Duke Negan was going to hold a ball to which the nobles of Beckland were invited, and the person he had changed happened to be among the invitees.

He walked outside.

"Don't let anyone into my room."

"Yes, Baron Gramil!"

After the manservant gave the salute, he handed over the invitation and led the carriage.

Not long after, he got into a carriage and headed down the street to Duke Negan's quarters.

Passing through a street, Ziringers saw two men.

One is tall and one is short, and the difference is quite huge.

"Serial killers like to live by rivers, maybe we can look for them along the river."

"You can try."

Detective?

His gaze locked on the short man, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but then, Ziringos suppressed the urge to do it.

Not the time.

Although the short man was annoying and almost exposed his whereabouts, the most important thing now was to kill Duke Negan.

He closed his eyes and stopped paying attention to the outside world.

The carriage rushed through the streets, and the two men were long gone, but what he didn't know was—

When he looked at Hugh and Roy, Roy actually sensed his gaze as well.

The gaze of a powerful extraordinary.

"Hugh."

"Huh?"

"The carriage that just passed ......"

Roy gripped his cane, "Do you know that noble mark?" ”

"I can't remember, it's a baron."

"Go back and tell Detective Issinger that I might have spotted Zielinger, and he's in that wagon!"
