Chapter 400: Tracing the Source
Griffin was even a little worried.
This asking price is too low.
Can this price really unearth valuable incriminating evidence?
Don’t take the blame when the time comes, because the money hasn’t been spent.
Then he will definitely regret it to death.
Ask the questions in your mind.
Yan was stunned for a long time, looked Griffin up and down, and then suddenly said:
"If you want to add money, of course you can."
"But for the sake of gold coins, I'll tell you."
"Actually - even if Your Excellency doesn't pay this reward, Bishop Henry Trump won't be able to work for long!"
"You want to find dirty evidence about the other party, I thought you were going to take advantage of it... ..."
"Anyway, if you have an idea, you might consider taking a 'hitchhike' at the right time."
...
Yan said. is the truth.
He also thought that the other party knew that Bishop Henry Trump was going to die and planned to take the opportunity to gain power, so he collected evidence in advance and prepared to rely on reports to make merit when the time came.
This guy who co-authored doesn’t know anything!
Outsiders don’t know.
Can the knowledge-seeking believers who directly participated in the battle to stop the countess not know?
The two mysterious men in black robes who seduced and guided the countess.
Seeing that he couldn't resist, he blew himself up without saying a word.
The kind with no bones left.
The clue was almost cut off immediately.
This is the most troublesome situation.
There is no way to trace it even if you want to.
There is obviously a huge secret behind these men in black robes.
Those strange hexagonal gems alone gave Novan a reason to guide believers to find them.
When I see them, they all have something to do with gems!
Noven directly edited a task and distributed it.
Arrange believers to investigate and collect clues related to the man in black robe.
According to the clues provided by Nicole, she had seen Bishop Henry Trump secretly meeting these men in black robes.
Of course, the idea of meeting is not accurate.
The actual situation described by Nicole is:
She accidentally saw two similar-looking men in black robes sneaking into the relief of Glow Church outside Ceylon. Place.
The relief shelter is an institution opened by the Glowing Divine Cult.
Food and accommodation will be provided inside every day, and missionaries will preach to the people receiving relief.
Food and accommodation are not completely free.
Generally, labor is required, such as washing clothes and organizing various ritual supplies for the church.
Only after completing these things can you receive the food distributed by the relief center.
Say it’s food.
It's actually just gruel with pickles.
There were only a few grains of rice in the whole pot of porridge, and the pickles were only the size of a fingernail.
It can only guarantee that you will not die of hunger.
Not to mention the place to live.
A thin bamboo mat serves as a bed, and dozens of people are crammed into a room, so crowded that their heads are touching their feet, their feet are touching their heads, and they have to share bedpans and urinals.
Refugees outside Ceylon are frequent visitors to the relief shelter, but not all refugees can enter.
Most of the time, you have to give some benefits to the deacon priest who is responsible for managing the relief center in order to obtain a valuable quota, which is limited to a limited time.
Normal people would rarely go near this kind of place.
Nicole accidentally saw two men in black robes entering the relief center under the cover of night.
Then he never came out again.
At least during the time Nicole was observing, she didn't see any man in black robe leave until midnight.
Nicole later learned that that day happened to be the charity day once a month.
Bishop Henry Trump went to the soup kitchen and personally served porridge, treated diseases and preached to the people receiving relief.
Not only Bishop Henry Trump, but also other kind-hearted nobles, businessmen, citizens, etc. will also go to the soup kitchen on this day to donate generously.
Later.
Nicole paid special attention a few times. On this day of every month, she could see figures in black robes entering the relief center.
It is not entirely certain that the other party is related to Bishop Henry Trong.
But the other party's strange behavior pattern can at least indicate that they must have some connection with the Glow God Religion.
As long as you can find tangible evidence, you can easily bring down a bishop.
...
On Pet's side, after the countess returned to the castle, she took Miranda and Gale into the castle again and met and talked with the countess in the study.
The reason why I didn’t take Brandon with me was that he couldn’t do this kind of thing that requires brains.
Brandon is responsible for taking away the bodies of those who died in battle with his companions, waiting for others to come back and claim them.
He is better at this job.
Pate and the others continued to collect clues about the man in black robe.
"Those two men in black robes, madam, do you know any information about them?"
Pate asked very seriously.
"This matter is very important. In fact, the disasters suffered in Ceylon are absolutely inseparable from them."
"If this hidden danger cannot be solved, they may still Continue to bewitch others in secret.”
The Countess of Ceylon didn't hide anything anymore.
She recalled and said slowly:
“They came to the door on their own initiative.”
“The reason I chose to believe them at that time was that they took out That artifact."
"After Sepu disappeared, I tried various methods to reproduce it but all failed, except for that artifact."
"Just follow their teachings. My method is to use the magic of illusion again to bring Sepp back to me.”
“I don’t know much about their identities.”
< br>"Because... there seems to be more than two of them..."
Pate frowned.
“More than two people?”
"Have you seen more people in black robes?"
The Countess explained: "No, I mean, although only two people come to see me each time, all of them come back. The same people."
"I have to see their true colors under their black robes before I can believe them."
"But every time I see them, they will be different from before. Face. "
"When I first saw it, one of them was a dwarf with a thick reddish-brown beard, and the other was one-eyed and wearing a cloth eyepatch. "
“The second time a man in black robe came to the door. Neither the bearded dwarf nor the one-eyed dwarf came. Although he was still a dwarf, he changed into a bald head and a Mediterranean hairstyle.”
"I asked them why the two people from last time didn't come, but they refused to answer."
Pate frowned even more tightly.
The situation is more complicated than expected.
According to the Countess' description, there are more than two men in black robes, but a large-scale organization!
"Is there any other information that you think is valuable?" Pate asked.
The Countess seemed to have made up her mind.
“Yes!”
She raised her hand to wave.
The mage's hand flew out under the faint blue light and took down a small safe on the bookshelf.
The safe is covered with complex rune patterns and energy circuits.
"Click."
The white light of the secret lock gradually faded, and the countess unlocked it with her own hands.
I took out an old wooden sign from inside.
There are words drawn on the wooden sign with a carving knife, but they are not in common language.
Pat didn't recognize it for a moment.
Miranda recognized it:
“This is a clan card unique to the Stonecastle dwarves!”
