Episode on the Way Home (10)

In the early morning, the sun had just stretched its waist and sprinkled its light on the first staircase in front of the inn, when it was interrupted by a tall, burly figure in a blue-black slim military uniform.

Edward, who had arrived at the door of the inn in the early morning mist, was still a little hesitant in his heart, and if he could, he hoped that the young men in the inn, including his friends, had never been here, had never been to this peaceful town under his rule. But when they came, he even found out that there was also a chief staff of His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, and he had already guessed that he was a subordinate of the Great Prince, and now it was not even as simple as the regiment meeting, maybe it was a high-level battle, and there was still not much he could do, but at least he had to fight for some benefits for himself and solve the he was facing.

Just as he was getting ready, the knocking hand on the door was empty. The door has creaked. Inside the door stood someone he knew, Mott. He heard his mature and steady voice, not surprised by his arrival. "You're here, come in first. ”

Edward glanced around the room to see someone wiping a sword with a loaf of bread in his hand, someone wandering the hall unsure of what they were looking for, and a bespectacled staff member tinkering with something at the table. The black-haired young man he cared about was now walking down the winding stairs, sleepy-eyed, completely devoid of his beautiful and fierce appearance, as if he were just some lovely boy next door.

"Shadow, milk. Robert walked over from the table with a glass of hot milk.

Edward watched Sunshadow slowly walk up to him drinking milk, his heart was mixed, he didn't forget that it was this innocent-looking boy next door, who shook his mouth with a sword, and slashed Ador's arm without hesitation.

"Brother Ying said that you would come today, and you are really here. Before Edward could say anything, Micah also stood up and said unceremoniously. "You're here to ask for us. ”

Edward was a little surprised by Mika's words, and looked again at the sleepy-eyed Sunshadow, who was still slowly drinking milk, eating bread, and sleepy-eyed. Remembering Sunshadow's words before he severed Adore's arm, he thought in horror, did they really have no password in front of this young man?

"Yesterday Luo checked the records in the town, the time of the murderer of the girl still has some rules to follow, although they did not find other body parts, and the time of death cannot be deduced from the corpse, but it can still be judged from the time when the girl in the town disappeared.

Ten corpses, seven people were recorded in the town, the first was the disappearance of a girl who came to the town's caravan to visit relatives in the second town, there were 8 months in between, and the third somewhat strange record should also be related to this, it was a little girl who was dying, maybe she was dead, but the body was missing, let's count it as the third, there was an interval of 6 months, there was an interval of 4 months between the fourth and the fifth, the interval between the fifth and the sixth was 2 months, and the interval between the sixth and seventh people became 1 month, and it was less than a month until Kevin said that her sister was missing。

If the murderer did not kill them, but raised them, then why did the time to abandon the former one and kill the previous one is getting shorter and shorter. If the killer killed them in the first place, then why is there more and more urgency to kill?

If you go to confirm the time, the girls before are the girls in other places before you closed the town, and the girls in the town after you started to seal the town. If it was according to the starting time, maybe no one would have pursued the girl's disappearance, but he became more and more urgent. I think the only thing in the town that is on par with him and is in a hurry is the level of development of the veins. The quarrel between you and Adol is due to some problems encountered in the development of the ore vein, and the murderer came to us to expose the ore vein and temporarily suspend work, which can only show that the murderer's murder is related to the ore vein. Now, if you don't come to us, who else can you look for? The Sun Shadow seemed to see through Edward's doubts and fears, and explained soothingly.

Edward nodded a little more comfortably when he heard this, at least this young man was not relying on some magic or ability, nor was it speculation, it was inferred from the current situation. He nodded.

"You're right, there's something wrong with the veins. Now, you know it's a vein, but you don't know what it's mined for. Edward asked somewhat mysteriously.

"Hedron Mine. Sunshadow replied.

Edward had an expression that you also know, but when he thought about the reasoning ability of this guy in front of him, he still saw it, and it was not too difficult to guess the hedron mine, after all, neither the Holy Court nor the prince was short of money. Only the spar is the rarest and most precious treasure in this continent. He then pulled himself together and continued to ask, "Then you don't know what the hedron is." ”

Seeing that there was finally no one to answer, Edward felt that he had pulled back a city, and he said in a slightly proud tone. "It's a hedron mine that doesn't know the power of magic. ”

"You don't mean you didn't say it, so who knows what kind of junk hedron is. Micah couldn't stand Edward's betrayal and said unceremoniously.

"Of course not. Edward hurriedly denied it. "The envoys of the Holy Court of Light have come to investigate, and they think that the magic of this hedron is so great that it may be able to be used in forbidden spells or other special things. You must know that there are very few spars with magic power on the continent, and most of the known spar magic power is very limited, but the magic power of this spar can be known to have huge magic power just by probing, and it can be said that it has wireless potential when developed. ”

"Then what questions do you have, isn't it just the end of direct exploitation?" asked Robert.

"Because it's unstable. The amount of mana contained is inconsistent. So the rate of mining has been very slow, and the amount of mining is not much. But Ador discovered that the mining method has always been dangerous, although the mining speed has been accelerated, but our personnel have been severely damaged, and there have been some strange things happening in the mine recently, so I hope to slow it down, but Ador disagrees. He's always been more aggressive, so we have arguments from time to time. But now it seems that these strange things may also be related to the disappearance of the girl. Edward affirmed.

"Let's go to the mine and check it out. Sunkage said, standing up.

"Yes, that's what I did. Edward said happily.

Just as everyone got up and was about to leave for the mine, a monk-like figure hurriedly ran in outside, and he said breathlessly. "General! Go see Deacon Ador. ”

Everyone looked sideways, and Edward asked. "What's so urgent? Is it because of the worsening of Adore's injuries?"

The monk shook his head and nodded slightly. Somewhat helplessly explained. "There's no need to worry about your life for the time being, but those changes won't be easy to say for a while, so you might as well go and take a look. The situation is so strange. ”

Edward nodded, and looked at the Shadow again.

"Let's go, let's stop by and see what's going on. Sunshadow said.

Everyone nodded in agreement. The group set off. The monk walked in the forefront, already in a hurry, probably intending to take the first step and inform the people of the Religious Hall of their arrival.

Edward looked at the monk's back, thinking that he would go to see Adore later, and remembering yesterday's scene, he couldn't help but lean over to Sunshadow, and asked embarrassedly.

"Lord Sunshadow, I'm actually curious, how do you know about Adore? How do you know that he is related to this vein, and has someone he likes, and can you guess that the person he likes is in the Holy Court?"

"I guess. Sunshadow replied.

"No way, I didn't even know that I had known him for so long, you only met him a few times, can you guess so much?" Edward looked incredulous. He originally thought that he couldn't do it, and when he saw that people who were just as confused as him had five identical faces. It turned out that they didn't know, and they all listened with their ears pricked up when he asked, and he instantly felt much more relieved.

"Is it because of that painting?" asked Robert, who was not there at the time, came back and heard some of their descriptions, and had some speculations in his heart, and now felt that he could not slow down too much. By the way, he also took out the painting and handed it to Edward, who was even more confused.

Sunshadow glanced at the painting in Edward's hand and dodged it. When Robert said that the person in the painting was somewhat similar to him, and the painting was taken from the Jiaohuatang, he already knew the whereabouts of the woman and the possible consequences of the woman. Even if he is only a little similar in appearance, if he is not discovered, he will give up, and if he is discovered, there will only be one result, that is, to be taken to that place, that place where life is better than death.

At this point, Sunshadow couldn't explain this, and he nodded, calmly looking for another statement, and said. "A deacon in charge of the Catholic Church, even if it is a deacon in a remote place, dare not and cannot just put a portrait of a woman in his study.

The hidden portrait reveals liking, and the portrait that is displayed in the open can show that this woman is an existence that can be known to the rest of the Holy See. The women in the Holy See, except for the goddesses, are saints. The goddess officials are generally older, and the number of candidates for saints is large, and the age span is different, so it is very likely that they are candidates for saintesses.

The competition between the candidates for the Holy Maiden is very fierce, and the Holy Maidens with special abilities have their own Holy Court support, not to mention the power of the princely and noble women's families, it is difficult for ordinary saints to come out. Even death in the battle of the saints is a very good thing. Ador is naturally a supporter of those who like it.

And Adore knows the light ball technique, although the Holy Court's power is huge and all kinds of talents are all over the place, there should be few people who can light ball magic. According to common sense, he should be valued by the Holy Court of Light, and he should be stationed in the Holy See and would not be arranged to carry out such a mission in such a place. Even if this hedron is extremely powerful, it can be sent to other people to do it, so there is only one reason for exclusivity, and that is that he must be someone who is familiar with the situation here.

Judging from the topography of Danfeng Town, it is difficult for ordinary people, even experts, to find that there are mineral veins buried here, otherwise the empire would have known about it a long time ago. So this Adoldo was probably born here and knew the secret from an early age. And in such a remote place, how could a poor country where the Holy Court of Light had no interest in preaching, suddenly have a person in charge who is so hard-working and familiar with the situation here. I think that most of this holy woman also came from here, and Adol also went to the Holy Court of Light for her.

Moreover, it is further speculated that some of those paintings can be seen to be depicted by observation, and some of them are based on imagination, and one of them is an imagination of age, indicating that Adore has not seen her for a long time. Even if the saints are forbidden to live in the outside world, it should still be possible to meet each other. But the truth is that no, and the Bright Holy See even gave up on the return of Adore for this reason.

Because the Holy Court is completely capable, send another person to follow Adol to familiarize himself with the situation here, and then recruit Adol back. But it seems that Adol does not have such a deputy, which can only show that the Holy Court has no intention of finding him in a short time. For a deacon who was so gifted and so young, he still had every reason to be 100% loyal to the Holy See, why should the Holy See abandon him. Why hadn't he been able to see the saint for so long?

Only one thing can be said. That is, the holy woman has lost her fragrance. I think Adore, he also has this conjecture in his heart, just because the Holy See continues to deceive him, and he doesn't want to admit it. But our presence, the one who told me about the veins, became the last straw that broke the camel in his heart. He couldn't help but attack. At the same time, he also wanted to try how powerful this light ball technique really was against the enemy. ”

"You came up with this in the split second after you were attacked?" Edward's face was incredulous!
