Chapter 532 Intelligence (2200 extra updates, please vote for me)
Another beautiful morning.
Zhong Shenxiu was wearing pajamas, sitting in an easy chair, leisurely reading the newspaper in the winter sunshine.
From some hidden corners, he saw the news that His Excellency the Earl announced that the party was suspended.
This is normal!
After all, as you can see from the overwhelming newspaper headlines about the assassination of congressmen, the kingdom is indeed very angry this time.
It is said that even Flea Bottom has many police officers stationed there, carrying out sweeps again and again. Many unlucky Extraordinaries have been arrested and interrogated for some minor crimes.
He even destroyed several secret gatherings in a row!
This makes many rats in the gutter anxious.
It is understandable that the 'Earl' chose to suspend the party.
"Master, there is a letter from Miss Anna."
At this time, John bowed humbly and handed a pink letter to Zhong Shenxiu.
In his opinion, this was obviously a love letter, probably filled with longing.
When the owner reads such a private letter, he obviously doesn't like people watching.
"You go down."
Sure enough, it didn't take long before Mr. Levi's soft voice came to his ears.
"yes."
John pressed his hand on his chest and slowly retreated, preparing to go to his room to pray to the Lord of Shenxiu.
‘Hmm… Judging from the sound of his breathing, he has already mastered the Source Breathing Technique. ’
Zhong Shenxiu nodded secretly, picked up a silver knife, opened the envelope, and took out the pink letterhead.
It was filled with sweet words of love written in Mien language, which seemed to be filled with the admiration and love of a young girl.
But Zhong Shenxiu just curled his lips, took out a special vial from his arms, and poured the liquid inside onto the letterhead.
A layer of blur dissolved, the letter suddenly floated up, and Zhu Qingliu's sweet voice came out: "Thanks to Mr. Li Wei for his help, we have completed the task. As for the shroud, when we were tracking the congressman , and also caught some clues. It is said that it once wrapped the body of an old god. It is an extremely dangerous cursed object. It was discovered in the north of the kingdom and caused the death of all the residents of a small town... It was only recently successfully discovered. Seal it and prepare to transport it back to the royal capital. The specific information is..."
After saying that, the letter quickly burned itself and turned into ashes.
It was originally attached with Taoist magic, and it would only make a sound if it sensed Li Wei's breath.
Moreover, it is only a one-time use and burns immediately without leaving any traces.
"The Shroud of the Old God is indeed a very powerful curse..."
Zhong Shenxiu tapped his right hand gently on the easy chair, becoming more and more interested in it.
Thinking of this, he stood up, came to the desk, quickly wrote a letter, and handed it to Melmund who was lying next to him: "Take it to Flea Bottom, the address I mentioned last time... and then, Secretly find out who it was given to last!”
Zhong Shenxiu was talking about the mailing address left by the count.
The other party did not know that the last trader was Mr. Levi, but he left his contact information.
Zhong Shenxiu was going to give him the scattered clues he got this time to see if he could combine them and get enough information.
After all, there should be someone of high status who does not belong to the kingdom behind this earl.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the confidence to take up the idea of putting up the Shroud of the Old Gods.
The count wanted to lure Zhong Shenxiu into trouble, but he didn't know that Zhong Shenxiu also wanted him to play forward.
As long as the water in the royal capital is muddied, there will always be a chance to take action!
"Woof!"
Mermund bit the letter, shook his tail, got into the void, and disappeared.
…
Flea Bottom.
Behind a narrow iron gate in a dark alley.
The janitor was yawning in boredom.
After all, there was an order from above not to hold any more parties, so he just had to refuse everyone who came to the door.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the surrounding environment, and the temperature seemed to drop a lot.
The surrounding darkness became turbulent and evil, and there seemed to be countless monsters hidden in it. Strange eyes opened one after another, staring at him unblinkingly.
‘What…what’s going on? ’
Drops of cold sweat broke out on the janitor's forehead, feeling that he might die in mysterious circumstances like the protagonists in many horror legends.
The next moment, those eyes were all closed, and the surroundings returned to normal, as if nothing happened.
Just as the janitor took a breath, he saw a light letter falling from the sky and landed in front of his eyes.
This frightened him so much that he collapsed on the ground. After a long time, he dared to gather the courage, stretched out his trembling palms, and pinched the envelope.
The snow-white cover says - 'Your Majesty the Earl'!
"It's a letter to your lord!"
He gritted his teeth, took the letter, and stumbled to find the adult.
After all, if you are cursed or something, there are big figures behind you who can lift it!
…
The janitor was clearly disappointed.
The person stationed at Flea Bottom was not the Earl. After listening to the gatekeeper's story, the Extraordinary's expression also changed drastically. Then he took the letter and handed it over again without opening it.
In the evening, in the Queen's District, in a luxurious manor.
The 'Count' came to the study and looked at the letters on the desk with a smile on his face: "Is it that Medici branch? He has news for me? I knew... No one can refuse the temptation of quickly increasing their strength. …”
As for the horrific news that came with the letter, he didn't take it seriously.
After all, an ancient aristocratic family with glorious ancestors, even if it is ruined, still has considerable heritage.
It is not too unbelievable that a powerful contracted spiritual creature has been handed down.
Having strong collaborators is also a good thing!
He looked at the carefully checked envelope with familiarity, pulled out the letter paper, and the expression on his face gradually turned to surprise: "These clues... are another piece of the puzzle, very good... I can probably guess how and when it will be done." We’ve arrived at the royal capital.”
An extremely terrifying cursed object with all kinds of strong negative effects.
For example, it cannot be carried close to the body, and it will even kill living creatures within a certain range!
And one of the properties of that shroud has been found to be that it repels the spirit world and the void, making it impossible to transport and can only use ordinary transportation!
"Next...I need a plan to ambush that convoy."
His Excellency the Earl thought quickly, calculated the power in his hands, and wanted to take advantage of the loopholes in the kingdom's defense to accomplish this.
Suddenly, his expression was stunned and he thought of something.
‘I don’t even know the descendant’s real name and address, how should I contact him? ’
‘Or...will he take the initiative to visit me recently? ’
‘He sold a piece of very valuable information without asking for any compensation. This is unreasonable! ’
His Excellency the Earl turned around anxiously and did not notice a pair of fleeting eyes in the void.
