Chapter 413
Through Francis’ confession, Donald learned that his space ring was accidentally taken away by a group of robbers.
Why is it said to be a mistake?
Because these people don’t seem to know it’s a space ring, it’s just that it happens to be in the drawer of the bedside table and is specially stored, and they’re a bunch of guys who are used to looting.
“In the current situation, let’s put aside prejudice and contradictions for a while. Anyway, the goal of our three parties is the same now, that is to catch this group of robbers, and when the time comes, Your Excellency will take it back. Your things, Captain Luther can learn from them the source of those weapons, and I can protect the villages and towns around Delchimo from this gang of vicious robbers.”
Jacqui As Lin spoke, she picked up the emblem of the morning light sect hanging around her neck and kissed it in front of her mouth. As an apostle, doing this kind of action meant that she would be responsible for what she said based on her beliefs.
As two adjacent religious cities, Luther also knew some of the behaviors of the morning light sect apostles. After a little hesitation, he raised the silver hammer on his waist and said: “For Cole’s sake. Tower, king of blacksmiths, please bring hope to us.”
This is a religious oath for the craft and blacksmithing sect, not too solemn, but the situation does not allow them to go Find a church for a prayer.
“I’m still saying that, I just want to get my things back.”
Donald looked at the actions of Jacqueline and Luther, really embarrassed, and said in his heart Or think of an action temporarily, after all, they have all done it, and he has no faith, and he doesn’t say anything, but after thinking about it, he is afraid that his own job will coincide with the behavior taught by other Sects, when the time comes I guess it’s trouble again, after thinking about it, I can only say something dryly.
“According to Francis, this gang of robbers hid in the sewers of Corta in order to avoid the pursuit of the morning light sect, and Corta’s sewer network covers almost the entire city, and we have no The method of precise positioning can only rely on a carpet search…”
“Wait, although I came to Corta for the first time, I also knew the size of the city Not much different from Delchimo, carpet search? This sewer network extends in all directions, if you count the probability that the other party deliberately avoided us hiding and suddenly escaped back to the ground in the middle, are you going to find it for a few months?”
The so-called carpet search sounds like a firm decision. In fact, it is only because there is no other choice, so this action is actually not a solution at all.
Donald is naturally impossible to stay here for too long. Although he has plenty of time, it is relatively acceptable. Three or five days are acceptable, but ten days half a month is not acceptable.
“Your Excellency has a better way?”
Jacqueline didn’t show anger at Donald’s interruption, she actually hoped to find a better way, she It is the Chief Knight of the morning light sect. She wants to guard Delchimo, and naturally she does not want to stay in the cities of other sects for too long.
“I have some thoughts… Francis, since you were involved in last night’s murder with them, you should have met with that gang of robbers before, don’t you deny that. ”
You can’t just rely on rashness to do things. Sometimes you can just find the tricks to double the results for half the effort. This is what Donald has long understood. In his opinion, the key to breaking the game is now. In front of this inner ghost.
“I did meet them, but before the action, I only contacted one of them, the others were only met last night… The light was very dark, I only I can barely remember the faces of some of them.”
Francis was lying on the ground at this time, the five fingers of his right hand were bloody, when he heard Donald questioning him, he immediately sat up halfway, and slammed into his head. I said all the answers I knew, for fear that my left hand would be treated the same way.
“I don’t need you to tell me what they look like. What I want to ask is when you met those people, did you pay attention to their clothes, was it dirty? Is there any smell?”
Donald’s questions are pretty much the same, but there’s something unusual about them.
“This…they do have a strange smell on their bodies, but their clothes are not dirty. I have met the person I met a few times, and he was covering his face the whole time. It’s all different.”
“Oh? You mean he changed clothes?”
The corners of Donald’s mouth rose a little when he heard that the person who had the connector changed clothes from time to time.
“I understand, what Your Excellency means is that they will inevitably have stolen goods on their bodies after staying in the sewer for a long time, so they will come out to buy clothes. If they want to buy clean clothes, they will naturally go to the clothing store. We can get them. Follow their portraits and go to the city to inquire, which can narrow the search.”
Luther thought he understood Donald’s thoughts, and tried to take control of the situation again.
“If they buy a lot of clothes and change them at one time, as long as they stay in the sewer for a long time, they will experience olfactory fatigue. It doesn’t matter if the clothes smell bad, as long as they are clean?”
p>
Donald glanced at Luther, and it was Jacqueline. He might also consider her feelings and speak more euphemistically. Since it was this person who had just had a conflict, he was not polite. idea.
“Your Excellency means…”
“Food!”
Donald opened his mouth and uttered a noun, then explained,
“Since these robbers are keen to change clean clothes, it proves that they are actually very concerned about their personal hygiene. In this case, they are impossible to live by wild beasts such as snakes and rats in the sewers in order to hide their whereabouts. They definitely want to eat fresh and clean food, clothes can be stored, food is not!”
If they were professional stealthers, if they just decided to hide somewhere, they would really do it. To hide everything, if this group of robbers can really do this step, Donald may have to go to the sewer to try one’s luck.
Simply these people obviously do not have this consciousness, they are accustomed to the prosperous life brought by burning, killing, looting, and going to the sewers to endure hardships… It’s okay to endure the smell, and it’s okay to ask them not to take a bath for a few days , but once the clothes on their bodies are contaminated by the moisture in the sewers, causing them to itch all over, that is another matter.
Not to mention that Corta is an industrial city, the sewers are full of industrial sewage, and they know how many chemical raw materials are hidden in the bodies of animals living here.
In case of food poisoning, instead of being killed by the apostle of the morning light sect, it was poisoned to death by a mouse, who should I turn to?
“They’re not stupid enough to go to the ground to eat every meal. After all, they have too much smell on them, and it’s easy to get noticed when they gather often, so these robbers will only send one or two members at a time. They come out to buy food.”
“They are located in the sewers, and most of the exits are on city streets. In order to prevent them from being discovered, they are naturally impossible to return to the ground through the exits of such locations, so the selected It must be somewhere in some lanes and mostly out late at night.”
“It’s easy to find them, Captain Luther should be able to get help from the Corta Police Department, just find out about the city of Corta How many restaurants are there that are still open late at night, ask the store managers if they have seen people with strange smells packing food in large quantities, and then all they have to do is to stand guard and wait for them to come to the door themselves!”
Discussion In the end, it was undoubtedly Donald’s one-man show, and his quick thinking allowed him to be one step ahead of others in thinking about many things, and he was naturally able to control the situation.
“I understand. I will contact the police immediately. If I find anything, I will contact Jacqueline Captain. Please ensure that the communicator in your hand is turned on at any time.”
From waist I took out a machine with electrical circuits and mechanical structure. It is slightly different in shape from the communicator that Donald got in Demingham. This one looks more refined.
“We are waiting for your good news.”
Donald has no clue here. Of course, these things have to be left to Captain Luther, and Jacqueline is the only one A communicator also stayed by their side.
The craftsman’s family arrived at the workshop not long after, and the matter here is naturally left to these people to handle, and the entire group of Donald found a cafe in the vicinity to wait for news.
“Just now when Captain Luther was present, it is inconvenient for me to ask. Now people have passed away…Can you tell me what happened in this city?”
This The city feels very strange to Donald, and this special feeling comes from various things, such as the dream on the first night of his arrival, and the mental state of the people here. A lifeless feeling.
“This…it’s not convenient for me to say.”
Jacqueline obviously knew something, but she was afraid that she would have any bad influence by saying it casually. He hesitated, rubbing the edge of the coffee cup with his fingers, letting the heat linger between his fingers.
It’s not a good idea to speak ill of others on their turf.
“The craftsman you introduced to me made me lose my space ring. This is not the way to repay my gratitude. If you didn’t give me a good impression, you are still helping me find the ring, otherwise Of course, I just said it casually, don’t take it to heart.”
As if mentioning these things inadvertently, Donald stirred coffee with a silver spoon in his hand, his face Shang’s expression didn’t change, but the three people beside Julia, except Julia, turned their attention to Jacqueline.
Pressure is generated under the oppression of this invisible sight.
That’s the truth, Donald agreed to this craftsman’s conditions just because of Jacqueline’s face, but because he said he can’t be disturbed for three days, I came here today to see if there is no one else to say. , the ring is gone.
Who can Donald go to?
Isn’t it Jacqueline who is most responsible.
“Okay, I said…remember the last time I told you that it’s best not to go out at night? In fact, in recent months, a considerable part of the city of Corta has People have become insane, some people say they have seen city houses swaying as if they are alive at night, some people say they have witnessed homeless being dragged into the shadows by black tentacles and then disappeared.”
“What about the facts?”
Donald naturally won’t believe some ordinary person’s remarks. Since this phenomenon is common, the craft and forging sector, as the manager here, must investigate.
“It is said that the cause has not yet been found. On the one hand, there are indeed no clues, and it is impossible to trace them by relying on the oral statements of those people. By disagreement, I mean disagreement over sect ideology, not disputes within the sect division in Corta,”
“Sect ideology disagreement…since the crafting and forging sects can be The orthodox sect recognized by Ryan Empire should have existed for a long time, right?”
This is not a joke, the existence of a sect is simply their teachings, and they rely on teachings to absorb believers and also rely on teachings. Inspire believers, but also rely on the teachings to manage the entire sect and formulate future development guidelines.
In Donald’s view, the first condition for a mature sect is that they have a complete set of doctrines, Ryan Empire is also impossible to approve a sect with contradictory doctrines to govern a city’s religious beliefs, That’s making trouble for yourself.
“You misunderstood, it’s not that there is a problem with the doctrine, but a disagreement in philosophy… Of course, if this disagreement continues to expand, it is likely to affect the doctrine.”
As she spoke, Jacqueline noticed the indifference on Donald’s face, realized that he didn’t care about this matter, and secretly relaxed while changing the subject,
“Let me focus on it, There is a group of robbers in the two cities of Delchimo and Corta. This is the group we are tracking. They have a group of very special firearms. The intelligence shows that they got this from Corta. Batch weapons, the wounds of the priest are caused by that kind of firearms, I… Some people suspect that the people inside the crafting and forging sect made this kind of weapons, if this is confirmed, when the time comes it will be very troublesome, It is precisely because of this matter that Captain Luther is so sensitive.”
The sect that should be protecting the people has made guns for the robbers, is that okay?
Jacqueline, who almost leaked her mouth, turned her head and patted her mouth in embarrassment, then turned back and tucked her hair behind her ears as if nothing had happened.
Donald saw this scene naturally, but didn’t say much.
He is now using spirit strength to communicate with a few companions.
“If there are no accidents later, I should go to the sewers. There is a high chance that there will be a fight. Anthony and Stephanie, you two, don’t go down. I need you to stay and protect Julia. , and the goods on the carriage have to be watched, when the time comes I will just go with Lilo.”
Julia’s safety is the first consideration, and Donald can still distinguish the priority from the second. , The terrain of the sewers is complicated, there may be some ambush, take Julia along to withdraw If there is any accident, when the time comes, there is no Regret Medicine to eat.
If it’s just him and Lilo, and it’s really at a critical juncture, Donald can take a dimensional step, Lilo has the battle strength of awakening Peak when he fully explodes, plus other helpers, there’s definitely no problem in wanting to run.
“Okay, listen to you.”
“I have no opinion, you guys stay safe.”
Anthony and Stephanie agreed with Donald’s instructions. No objection.
After the negotiation, the next step is to wait for the news from the crafting and forging section.
About two hours later, the communicator that Jacqueline placed on the table was accompanied by a sound of electricity.
The place is found!
