Chapter 96: Cut your mouth with scissors, you will be punished!
"Translation?" Wayne covered Jerry's wizard's notebook and looked at Lacey and asked.
"Yes, it's from the second department. I've already sent someone to notify Arianna. I'll send it to you in a moment."
Wei En nodded, "Oh, okay."
He didn't expect that there would be translation work in such a day. Come to your door.
Fortunately, I have found other ways to make money, otherwise I would starve to death if I expected to make money through translation.
"Next, let's start with Marco. The murderer in Idrisu neighborhood has been dealt with by the people from the war department. You go over and finish it off." Lacey threw out a piece of parchment and landed it accurately on Marco On hand.
Marco picked up the parchment and took a look at it. "The guys in the war department were not bad. It only took five days to deal with that pervert." "
Just an ordinary believer of the Desire Sect,"
Lacey said. He curled his lips and said, "Hurry over and have a look. If those bastards do something small again, I will definitely not let them go this time." "
Got it."
With that, Marco stuffed the parchment into the box and changed into a fancy dress. clothes ready to go out.
"What are you doing?"
"Sir Lacey, you saw what happened this morning. If you go out wearing the investigator uniform again, you won't be scolded to death by those people. You don't let me take action, so I can only choose to keep a low profile. "
...Let's go quickly."
"Okay."
Marco shook his hair, carried the box and walked out with a coquettish step.
Hearing their conversation, Carly's expression darkened, "..."
Shouldn't devout Dawn believers be kind and treat others with kindness?
She didn't understand why those people were so angry... If it was just because they didn't take this opportunity to embark on the path of faith, shouldn't they look for the reason from themselves?
Lacey didn't pay attention to her expression and continued to arrange: "Then Wayne, then this is yours - the new commission application sent by the Seres family."
Seres family?
That wealthy aristocrat who is involved in the Vazquez family and spends a lot of money?
Wayne took the parchment and asked doubtfully: "I remember that the last time the developing potion was not directed at Lutger?" "That's right
, but he has been killed by the same group of people last time. So Lao Sai Lacey had to find us again..."
At this point, Lacey paused and said with a hint, "Well, their commission fee this time is 100 gold pounds."
Wayne's eyes lit up, " 100 gold pounds? Okay, I'll go over and take a look first."
So if everything goes well, he can get 25 gold pounds?
As expected of a maritime trader, the family is really rich.
"But I need to remind you," Lacey said with a serious expression: "This is the first time you and Tina go out as a team, remember to take good care of her." "Okay." Wayne looked at Tina and
saw She was still trying to stuff cookies into the clown doll's mouth, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
Hey, that's a doll, not a pet!
"Finally, Carly... I'll take you to Basil Street. There is a new case to be investigated over there." "
Well," Carly nodded obediently, "I will definitely learn from you."
"Don't worry, everything is fine. Me." Lacey patted the towering clock and said heroically: "Pack your things, let's set off now."
Not to mention the identity of the candidate saint of Dawn Church, it can be seen from Carly's character that she is a Kind lady.
Therefore, Lacey didn't have much ill feelings toward her.
"Okay."
Carly was like a new student who had no independent thoughts except studying. She packed the box obediently.
"Let's go,"
Lacey just took her out of the office and looked back at Wayne. "I almost forgot to tell you. Remember to give Yegor the report from last night." "Okay, I'll go find the minister later.
"
"Don't forget it, otherwise that old guy Balazs will send someone here to urge you again. He arranges all the work very carefully. And..."
Lacey glanced at Tina, "If the commission encounters If you can't solve the problem, you might as well ask Tina to turn on 'Spiritual Vision' and try it."
"I've written it down." Wei En nodded.
When the office was completely empty, he looked at Tina next to him, "It's noon, are you going to eat?" "
Tina is not hungry, clown, you are."
"..."
Wei En looked at her and still wanted to stuff the biscuits. He entered the clown doll's mouth and asked tentatively: "How about I help you find a pair of scissors and cut its mouth open?" The
white-haired girl turned her head and looked at him, "Tina, okay."
Her voice He has returned to his previous coldness, and even walking is no longer bouncing.
Wayne pretended to open the box and look for scissors, "Then let me try."
He had played games like house many times when he was a child, and he could make the little girl next door laugh happily every time.
"Look, let's try using these scissors... um, can it open its mouth?" Wayne held up the air and looked at the biscuits in the clown doll's mouth, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Tina also noticed this and looked at the clown doll and nodded, "Ugly, hungry." "
That's right, it would be nice if you can eat cookies."
Wei En put down his hands and looked at the clown, especially its mouth. , remember it seemed to be sewn together before, right?
And the clown doll seemed to be looking at him, its eyes made of red buttons stared at the "scissors" in his hand, and its furry and red-painted mouth seemed to twitch.
In a daze, Wei En seemed to hear a strange voice: Jie Jie, it's fun, I like it...I'll treat you to a cake next time, do it!
Just when he was wondering if it was an hallucination, a reminder message appeared in his mind.
[You have indirect contact with forbidden object 1-83 Demon Clown, and your fate has changed to a certain extent. The current encounter progress is 60/100.
Comment: I seem to have seen the scene where you were beaten by the demon clown. Well, that must be full of joy.
Special rewards: Survival Points +10, Origin +1, Resilience Level +2, Spirit Level +2. 】
After seeing this prompt, Wayne would be a fool if he didn’t understand that the clown doll is a forbidden object 1-83 Demonic Clown.
No, is it such a forbidden thing that you can carry it around like this?
So... it wasn't an illusion just now, it was the real demon clown talking to him?
Want to give him cookies?
Why, don’t you bring someone who is so playful!
"That Tina, do you think you should be nicer to him? Maybe he doesn't really want to eat cookies." The
white-haired girl tilted her head and looked at the clown doll, seeming to be really thinking about his suggestion, "Clown, eat Blood."
Blood? What blood?
It couldn't be what he thought, could it?
Wayne was silent for a long time and decided to give up discussing anything related to the Demon Clown with her. "After I finish handling Captain Arianna's matter, let's set off to Natoli Street." "Tina, I know.
"
You Yes, but the clown may not know...
Wayne looked at the information on the panel depressedly. Lacey and the others should know about Tina carrying forbidden objects, right?
If you let this combination of disaster species and forbidden objects run around, you won't be afraid that the forbidden objects will get out of control?
This inappropriate ballet dance on a tightrope is all about your heartbeat...
I will never recruit this clown again. He will jump out and confront you at every turn. Who can bear this?
Wei En let out a long sigh. This matter must have been arranged by the Secret Service Department. Maybe in their opinion, Tina and the Joker are safe?
Thinking this way, his depressed mood improved a lot.
"Lacey, I'm here."
At this time, Captain Arianna of the Investigation Department 2 opened the door and came in. After a glance, he wondered: "Where is your captain?" "
The captain just went out to work. You are here to deliver the relics of the era. Right? Leave it to me. She told me before she left."
"Leave it to you?"
Arianna hesitated, put the scroll in his hand on his table, and reminded: "Be careful. Don't let it get ruined. After the person she found has completed the translation, remember to have it sent to me." "
I will tell Captain Lacey." Wei En nodded, thinking that Lacey did not reveal who the translator was. who?
"And this, the translation fee is 2 gold pounds. You can also give it to her." "
Okay."
Wei En collected these. The money and things are all mine. Why should I hand them over?
After Arianna left, he was going to open the parchment and take a look.
Now, he has become accustomed to handling the relics of the era, and he is no longer in a hurry when he first saw "Gonzalez Language".
As usual, he wrapped his hands with spiritual power and carefully opened the roll of parchment. After making sure that nothing abnormal happened, he took his hands away from the musket on his waist.
It’s okay not to be prepared. I remember when I first joined the company, a wraith popped out of the parchment that Lacey opened casually. It was really impressive.
"Pat, Li, Shi, Naxi, Ste, Mide..."
Wayne glanced at it and couldn't help but frown. There was actually Gonzalez language that he didn't recognize.
But he did not choose to give up or add points to improve the level of Gonzalez. Instead, he tried to decipher the word himself.
He also remembers proficient-level Gonzales and has a 20% success rate in translating unfamiliar words.
"Vinoch? It should be pronounced like this, meaning 'sea of blood'?"
[You successfully unlocked a new Gonzalez vocabulary. Evaluation: Knowledge is not just acquired, but also learned to use. Congratulations on finding the correct way to acquire knowledge. Special rewards: +2 survival points, +2 Gonzalez language. ]
Wei En grinned, "The interpretation is correct, it definitely means sea of blood."
As for the irony on the panel, he pretended not to see it.
Of course he knows that knowledge needs to be used more often to become his own. The problem is that he must have the time and opportunity.
"Keep going."
"Bro, it should be a person's name... Oh, Deadpool, by the way!"
"Nisva, this... fleet?"
[You successfully unlocked a new Gonzalez vocabulary. Evaluation...Special rewards: +1 survival point, +1 Gonzalez language. 】
In less than ten minutes, Wei En unlocked five new vocabulary words through comparison before and after and combined with the epoch relics he had read before, and the Gonzalez proficiency level progress also increased by 5 accordingly.
"The general meaning of this era relic is that the Cromwell family fleet sailing on the Cordo Sea discovered the existence of the Blood Sea, near an island named 'Kent'..." "From the Blood
Sea , endless deadpools swarmed in and engulfed the fleet, and only one battleship named 'Hafis' escaped." "
But when they searched again, they could no longer find the sea of blood... Disappeared together with the engulfed ships?"
Wei En looked at the translated content, and what was recorded on this parchment didn't seem to have much effect.
Can things like the Sea of Blood and Deadpool come back if they disappear?
He just regarded it as completing a piece of work. After confirming that it was correct, he put away the two pieces of parchment, happily held the newly earned 2 gold pounds, stood up and said: "Let's go, Tina, let's set off to Nato Lee Street.”
"Tina, let's go."
The white-haired girl held his hand and followed him outside, while her other hand was still holding the clown doll tightly.
Jiejie, that's good. Being dragged along like this seems to be a good experience, and it gave me some inspiration for new gameplay...
Before setting off, Wei En did not forget Lacey's instructions and took out the book he had already written. The report knocked on Minister Yegor's door, "Minister, this is what happened last night..." "
Just put it on the table,"
Yegor held a cigar in his mouth and poked his head out from under the thick newspaper to read. He glanced at it and said, "Are you teaming up with Tina?"
"Well," Wayne glanced at the clown doll, hesitated and asked, "Who is this doll?" "
You know?"
"Some guess, so it's really It's..."
"It won't have any impact, just remember not to do anything excessive to it." Yegor replied lazily.
Wayne nodded. It seems that cutting off its mouth with scissors is too much...
"I know what to do, minister."
"Well, also about the person from Dawn Church, remember how much he said next time we meet. Run as far as you can, he is not something you can handle now."
"Understood."
With that said, Wei En turned around and left with Tina.
Of course he knew he had to avoid Melbell now, but the two of them seemed to be in conflict with each other and would always bump into each other at inappropriate occasions.
That is to say, Wei En's strength has not reached the ministerial level, otherwise Melbell would have to take a few bullets...
Without Lacey this time
,
Wei En and Tina would not be able to enjoy the benefits of the mechanical wheel car.
However, he did not plan to walk over on two legs, but stopped a carriage luxuriously and enjoyed the treatment of the middle class.
"Mr. Investigator, where are you going?"
"Natural Street, No. 32."
"Manor Serres?"
"Yes, you know?"
"Gentlemen from other places often go there by boat. It is one of our most frequent places. You and this Miss, please sit tight, we are setting off."
The carriage driver was wearing a black top hat and a cheap dress. The fabric was very rough, but this did not affect his service attitude at all.
"Sir, you must have participated in yesterday's celebration, right?"
"Yes, what happened?"
"Then you still dare to wear the uniform that represents the identity of the investigator..."
Wei En was speechless, "What do you mean? I met a lot of people who were very dissatisfied with what happened yesterday morning." "
More than dissatisfaction, those gentlemen with high incomes blocked the door of the newspaper office early this morning, demanding that the truth about yesterday be published." The coachman was very talkative
. , while driving two ponies smoothly, he said: "In the Ruhr neighborhood, there are even many Dawn believers gathered there, wanting to cause trouble for you." "Fortunately, we were discovered by the city guards in advance,
otherwise This will definitely become the front page news of Custer tomorrow."
"Really?" Wayne knew that those people were angry, but he didn't expect that they had become crazy.
"But most people are quite sane. For Liming, well, this may be a bit inappropriate..." "
You want to say that the people in Dawn Church are domineering?"
The coachman was silent for a moment, "In fact, what we can see is that The cost of candles increases every month, and bad news happens to people around us from time to time." "
As for the Dawn Church, maybe they are really protecting us, but..."
Wei En hummed, "There should be many people like this. Thoughts?"
The coachman seemed very pleased with his attitude and continued: "Yes, in our Laos... ahem, I mean the people who live not far from the Laos neighborhood are not very interested in dawn. ."
"Relatively speaking, we prefer the teachings of the Church of Storms - to gain new life in the endless wind, rain, thunder and lightning."
From the Laos neighborhood?
"There should be a lot of Storm believers in Custer, right? For example, you Basques?"
"Of course, I..."
The coachman looked back at him, his eyes under the brim of his hat full of apologies, "Sorry sir, I'm not I deliberately concealed it, I just wanted to complete this business..." "
It doesn't matter, I feel sorry for what happened to the Vazquez family."
Whether it is the Aldez ethnic group, the Vazquez ethnic group, or his own The Sarut ethnic group, even Wei En, didn't feel much about it.
Not even as hostile to the Basques as Ariana.
"Blood is born, it's not something you can control..."
"What?"
"Nothing, you don't have to worry about this, you just need to get us to our destination safely. This is your job, isn't it?" The
coachman said gratefully: "Sir, you are the kindest person I have ever met."
Friendliest?
Wayne didn't think he had done anything friendly. It seemed that the situation of the Basques was really bad.
"I remember that a lot of things happened in the Laos neighborhood a few days ago. There should be a lot of you there, right?" "
Indeed,"
the coachman looked sad. "There are many companions involved in those damn fights. Zhong, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say bad words."
"I understand, can you tell me more specifically? Many people have left?" "
If you are willing to hear it..."
Listening to the coachman's calm tone describing what happened the night before, Wayne finally figured out what Claire and the people from the Sect of Despair did that night in the Laos neighborhood.
Ector of the Despair Sect is responsible for getting those people out of the sanctuary, and the Red Moon Church is responsible for transforming them into slaves of the Red Moon.
And Claire, she managed to control everyone all at once - this is true, when strong men fight, little ones suffer.
Fortunately, the Ghost School did not set up its base in the Laos neighborhood, otherwise it is hard to say whether he would have survived.
But what makes Wei En most curious is the Red Moon Church. The ability to forcibly change a person's body shape and appearance feels weird no matter what.
It felt to him, well, as if the red moon's pollution power had been transformed in a positive way.
Perhaps, the believers of the Red Moon Church can freely use the pollution power of the Red Moon?
If this is the case, then it would be a good choice to believe in the Red Moon Church...
"But even if so many people die, there are still many companions who are willing to pour into Laos every day. At least there is a place to block the Red Moon."
" So where were you before?"
"In the mountains east of Custer..."
The coachman hesitated for a moment and did not continue. He then said, "In two minutes, your destination will be reached." "
Okay. "
Wei En wisely did not choose to continue asking. People in the city-state are living such a difficult life. Outside the city-state, we don't know what kind of purgatory scene it is... "You are welcome to ride again next time. I am very happy to ride with you
. You talk so much."
"Me too."
Wayne and Tina got off the carriage, took out 8 pennies from their pockets and put them in the cardboard box in front of the seats, "Goodbye."
"Goodbye, Mr. Friendly Investigator."
Look. As the carriage gradually moved away, Wayne took a deep breath and knocked on the door of Seres Manor.
Just like what he thought before, there are too many miserable people and things in this world, and he has no way, let alone the ability, to think about them.
However, after listening to this, he had a new understanding of the Red Moon, Dawn, the Eternal Life Society, and the Despair Sect.
It seems that what Claire said is true. In some places, the Despair Sect is the Orthodox Church.
Because only then can they survive.
Perhaps, this is the reality of this world...
"Investigator Wynn, Mr. Saiyam has been waiting for a long time." The person
who opened the door was still Collins, the old butler of the Seres family, with a little dissatisfaction in his words.
But other than that, he didn't show any other abnormality, and he didn't even use his mental perception on Wei En.
"Yes."
Wayne just nodded, took Tina into the carriage, and led Collins to the manor.
To be honest, Wei En took his first team mission with Tina very seriously.
But he was dealing with the case of the Seres family, which forced him to be extremely vigilant.
He knew very well that this would not be a simple commission to find lost items, and it was very likely that he would be attacked by the Basques like last time.
Therefore, Wayne could only try his best to make himself look as comfortable as possible without showing any signs of "I am a newbie", otherwise it would be difficult for this case to proceed smoothly.
If that were the case, he would have lost more than just 25 gold pounds...
"Investigator Wayne, I would like to thank you for your intervention in what happened last time. Otherwise, Mr. Saiyam would be very angry if those people were allowed to escape from the manor."
Seeing Collins take the initiative to mention the crew members on the Black Pearl who were killed by him last time, Wayne's eyes flashed with suspicion, and he answered cautiously: "They just happened to be there, and they were the first ones to be hostile to us."
" Anyway, thank you for your help." Collins, sitting in front, turned back to him and nodded in thanks.
"You're welcome."
Wayne noticed Tina on the side, her eyes fixed on Collins, and he couldn't help but frown.
He knew that Tina had the ability to distinguish the truth from falsehood in other people's words, so did the white-haired girl's eyes convey that those words were all false?
Thinking of this, Wei En shook the white-haired girl's hand and gently shook his head to signal her not to speak.
"Tina, I know."
"...Ahem, Butler Collins, I don't know what exactly Mr. Saiyam is entrusting us with this time, um, what exactly are we going to do? Or are we going to retrieve the statue?" "Waiting for you to see me
. It will be clear when we get to sir. Before that, please forgive me for the inconvenience of answering." Collins turned around and said apologetically, and the moment he turned his head, his eyes seemed to glance at Tina.
"Okay, I'll just ask casually."
At this point in the conversation, Wayne lost interest in continuing to talk to him.
After a while, the carriage bypassed the huge fountain and stopped under the main building, where a middle-aged man wearing the unique clothing of the Chatelain nobles was already waiting for them.
"Mr. Ramiro, two investigators from the Secret Investigation Department have arrived."
[You are scanned by Ramiro Ceres' mental perception. Reward: Survival point +1. 】 Without Collins’ reminder, Wayne already knew the identity of the other party and took the initiative to say: “Hello, I am Wayne Loft of the Investigation Department of the Secret Service, and next to
me is my companion Tina Klosterman.”
Milo looked at the two of them, and a trace of impatience flashed on his face, "The secret blending department sent you two little guys here?"
Wayne had a formulaic smile on his face, "Yes, Mr. Ramiro. But please rest assured that since I have accepted your family’s entrustment, the Secret Adjustment Department will definitely do its best to solve it.”
Although I am a little dissatisfied with the other party’s attitude, for the sake of the gold pound, I will forgive him this time.
But doesn’t the information say that the first heir to the Seres family is already 56 years old?
But he looked about 30 years old - a typical Aldersian build, tall and stocky, with a thick beard and slightly curly brown hair.
Especially his eyes, the brown eyes are extremely bright, as if they have some kind of magic power that can see through people's hearts, making people dare not show any hostility towards him.
"Collins, take them to see their father. I won't go. If anything happens, send someone to notify me." Ramiro dropped these words, turned around and entered the house, as if staying here any longer would be the right time for him. His greatest insult.
"Okay, sir."
After Collins bowed and saluted, he turned around and said comfortingly: "Don't mind, Mr. Ramiro is very sad about Master Rutger's sudden death. He has not been in a good mood recently."
Wayne Nodding noncommittally, there was no sadness at all in this young master Ramiro.
"Please follow me. Mr. Saiyam is now in Master Rutger's room."
Collins then led the two of them through the hall. "Please pay attention to the tone of your speech later. I hope you understand a man who has lost his son." Father's mood."
"Yes, I can understand."
Wayne said casually and followed him to the door of a bedroom on the east side of the third floor.
Dang, Dang Dang.
"I'm sorry to disturb you, Mr. Saiyam. The guest you are waiting for has arrived." "
Come in." A hoarse voice with a slightly vicissitude of life sounded from inside the door.
"Please, I won't interrupt."
Collins whispered as he opened the door.
Wayne nodded slightly, pulled Tina in and looked at the man standing by the window with his back to them and said, "Sir Syam?" It's
impolite to call him sir.
After much deliberation, he had no choice but to call him by his title.
"Sit." Saiyam did not turn around.
Wei En was stunned for a moment, but he still followed his words and found a chair to sit down with Tina.
Compared with the dark room where the idols were stored, this bedroom belonging to Rutger was much brighter.
Unlike the living room outside which is full of skeletons of marine life, the various decorations here are more gorgeous and elegant, and the overall color is dark black.
The black wooden bed, black sofa, seats, and even the main color of the pictures hanging on the wall for decoration are black... It
seems that this young master Rutger is either good at planning, or likes to disguise and escape.
Thinking like this, Wayne noticed that the person lying on the bed at this time should be Rutger Seres who died at the hands of the Basques.
He is very similar to Ramiro, with slightly curly hair, fair complexion, thick eyebrows, and a tall nose, but his figure is slimmer.
It can be seen from his body shape that he at least pays attention to body management...
"Rutger is my favorite son. Calm, restrained, excellent, intelligent... one of my most recognized heirs.
" After a long time, Saiyam turned around and said in a low voice: "But he died and was used as a scapegoat..." "I entrust
you here this time because I hope to avenge him."
"Forgive me for being presumptuous . , I remember that the people who hurt Rutger last time have been left in the manor?"
Wei En observed the leader of the Seres family. Just by seeing that face, he knew that this was a character. A domineering person.
Compared to his two sons, Saiyam is not tall. His neatly trimmed beard has two deep nasolabial folds, revealing an authoritative and confident temperament.
"Not enough, those people are just pawns."
Saiyam was also sizing them up, but he didn't look down upon them like Ramiro. "Find them, and I'll make them pay the price." "
What else?" Wei En asked. He asked animatedly: "Is finding these people all part of the commission?"
Saiyam stared at them, his expression became more serious, "Compared to your age, your performance is obviously more satisfactory to me. What's your name?" "
"Wayne Loft, an ordinary investigator."
"Wayne?" Saiyam chewed on the name, thought for a moment and said, "I remember you, in the parliament last night..." "
Oh? You Have you heard about it too?"
Wei En was really surprised now. He thought that no one paid attention to the killing of Ognyan, but he didn't expect that these nobles even knew about such a trivial matter?
This is not a good sign.
"For the Secret Adjustment Department, for the Church of Dawn, no one in the city of Custer will care."
Saiyam came back and sat down on the sofa, "To answer your question just now, in addition to finding those people Besides, the more important thing is the statue."
"I hope it can return to the Seres family again. It is a very meaningful inheritance item to us and cannot be lost."
A smile appeared on Wei En's face, " What else?"
"What else do you want to know?"
"At present, I only know what I investigated last time. Can you provide some clues about your son Rutger stealing the idol?" "
Similarly Yes, and how much do you know about the identities of those people?"
Wei En spread his hands and said: "I'm sorry, I hope these questions of mine don't embarrass you."
Saiyam's eyes flickered slightly, and his face became more serious than before. Quite a few, "I'm very happy that a capable investigator has come to Serres Manor..."
PS: Thanks for the pretense, I'm not the two bosses Fan Ye, thank you very much.
Today, there is also only one chapter left, and I will add another chapter tomorrow, Friday.
Hmm... The monthly ticket is now 400, and I owe a total of 4 chapters plus updates... I'll finish it this week.
