Chapter 97 Winner Takes All
When Kerr heard about the dragon’s secret treasure, his heart beat faster and he was about to agree on the spot.
Wayne elbowed him and dragged the person out of the house by his collar: "The risk is too great. We need to think about it. It's late at night, so I won't disturb you two's rest. We will give you an answer tomorrow night."
Arriving at Kerr's bedroom, the latter closed the door and raised his eyebrows: "Wayne, that's the dragon's secret treasure, aren't you tempted?"
Wayne shook his head, checked Kerr's room, and confirmed that there were no ears in the partition wall, and then said: "Of course I am interested, I can't wait to agree immediately."
"You're asking for money just by sitting on the ground, right? You're just like a prostitute on the street!"
What a metaphor, don’t compare it next time!
Wayne rolled his eyes crazily and almost lost his temper. He said unceremoniously: "You also know that it is the dragon's treasure. That woman is so scheming that there is no reason to reveal such important information casually. It can only be said that the risk was too great, and she knew she couldn’t bear it, so she asked us to share the risk.”
"I know that she lacks the chess pieces to explore the path. It is very likely that she already knows where Mr. Bart is hiding, but I have to admit that I am willing to take the bait." Kerr poured Wayne a cup of tea.
"I took the bait too."
Wayne agreed. It was the legacy of the dragon, and anyone else would rub their hands.
Dragon Heart Island, the great secret treasure of the dragon, Wayne has already believed most of it.
The word "dragon" seems to have magical power. When it comes to dragon, people will first think of Buling Buling's diamonds, jewelry and precious metals. As a magician, Wayne has extended the concept of magic props on the basis of treasures. fantasy.
The reason why he only believed most of it but not all of it was because Wayne remembered that Chris once said that there were no giant dragons in the Chosen Continent.
Where would the dragon blood come from without the dragon?
Wayne regretted not asking clearly at that time. Longxin Island was too far away from Lundan and could not be contacted directly by phone. He could have sent a telegram, but for a while, he could not find the contact person at all.
If you write a letter...
It’s better to take a boat trip!
Wayne secretly felt helpless and discussed the case with Kerr. The famous detective was a showman, and Wayne suspected that he had other information that he had not shared.
"The spirit of Lady Dinah said that Mr. Bart has been hiding in the manor, even in this big house. I think it is necessary to investigate." Kerr suggested.
Wayne neither agrees nor disagrees. There is a high possibility that there is a secret passage in the manor. It is not surprising that rich people cherish their lives. But as smart as Heidi, she has not found Mr. Bart's hiding place. The two outsiders... …
Hey, don’t tell me, it’s really possible.
It cannot be ruled out that Heidi has always known Mr. Bart's hiding place and was reluctant to enter it for some reason.
The two discussed it for a while, and Wayne returned to his room.
Kerr decided to follow Heidi tomorrow and go to the Bart family's company to explore the bottom. Wayne said that he wanted to get familiar with the surrounding terrain and investigate the situation behind the cliff, in case the Bart family turned their backs and refused to recognize anyone, and ran away without knowing it. Where to go.
After a night of silence, Wayne gained support from his fellow villagers and became stronger every day, which was very fulfilling.
The next morning, Kerr went to the Bart family's company, and Wayne rented a fishing boat to go around the back of the cliff to inspect the terrain.
Assuming that Bart gained supernatural powers in his deal with the devil, it is very possible to punch a hole in the cliff.
Before going out, Wayne specially found the maid Ojia, who had no idea what happened last night. Mrs. Dinah was offline and unable to move during the day.
Even if she is active, it is of little significance. Her soul is extremely weak, her thinking and memory are blank, and she cannot provide important information.
At noon, Wayne arrived at Crescent Town Square. He looked at the Poseidon Shrine, whose architectural style resembled that of Heavenly Father's Church, and considered going in to do some reconnaissance.
The Poseidon Shrine is the largest belief in Longxin Island. Almost every fisherman believes in the Poseidon, and there is an endless stream of people who fulfill their wishes.
To say who knows the most about Dragon Heart Island, it must be the Sea Shrine, which has been rooted for many years. Even the devils know that there is a secret treasure of the dragon on Dragon Heart Island. There is no reason why the Sea Shrine has not received any news.
Be brave, the devil is late, the secret treasure has been developed by the Sea Shrine.
Thump edge thump edge!
On the tree beside the square, a white pigeon tilted its head and cast a curious look at Wayne. Wayne frowned slightly, turned around and walked into the alley.
Being targeted!
The magician of Haijin Shrine?
Wayne did not bring his messenger birds with him on this trip. Longxin Island is an island in the sea and a well-known fishing ground. There is no shortage of seagulls on the island.
Seagulls are the scum of birds and have always been notorious. They are not only good at throwing feces in the air, but also like to rob. When food is scarce, seagulls will regard white pigeons as hunting targets.
Even when food is not scarce, seagulls also like to bully the weak, and their reputation has long been ruined.
Wayne did not regard his pigeons as disposable items. Considering the above reasons, he gave them to the maid to feed and carried them with him without stuffing them into a hat.
By the same token, except for magicians, no one on Longxin Island would raise white pigeons.
Wayne suspected that his blatant snooping had attracted the attention of the magician of the Poseidon Shrine. There were many people on the other side, so he betrayed the Poseidon to save face, so he would forget about it today.
Wayne wanted to leave, but the other side refused to let him go. The white dove followed him all the way. Two figures came from a distance and pressed closer step by step until they blocked Wayne near the reef on the beach.
The two men in black wore gentleman's hats with low brim and high collars that covered the lower half of their faces wrapped in scarves, making it impossible to see their faces clearly.
Wayne sniffed the smell in the air and looked at the two uninvited guests in surprise, wondering why they were here.
Veronica.
Willie.
Especially Veronica, she shouldn't have come. Auston knew that Baicai went across the sea to chase the pretty boy. He was so angry that he bought God knows how many cement buckets.
"Jiejiejiejie——"
The shorter man in black, who was Willy, lowered his voice and let out a gay laugh, striding towards Wayne.
She was wearing leather gloves on her hands and her whole body was covered tightly. When she was still three meters away from Wayne, she sprinted and punched.
This is very Willy.
Okay, okay, you like playing like this, right?
Wayne raised his brows. His fist was weak and weak. It was just a prank. In this case, he could only prepare for it.
Wayne stepped sideways to avoid, and the moment he passed by, he suddenly stretched out his hands and pushed Willy's chest with his hair.
The latter staggered two steps and was obviously stunned for a moment, but did not say a word. He lowered his voice and made an unexplained provocation, then raised his fist and struck again.
Wayne continued to dodge and pushed his butt.
Willy wanted to continue sending gifts, but Veronica couldn't stand it anymore.
"Idiot, there's no one like you!"
She sprinted towards the two people who were struggling together, kicked Weili in the back, and kicked her two meters away. She then slid away some distance with her face humiliated.
Willie stuck her butt out and buried her face on the beach, moaning and not getting up.
"Hey, this voice... Veronica, I'm so surprised, it's you!"
Wayne was overjoyed and opened his hands to give the other person a bear hug.
"Pervert, stay away from me!"
Veronica raised her fist and warned Wayne not to ask for trouble.
Wayne regretfully gave up and quickly came to Willy's side, helped the beautiful girl up and patted the sand off her head, and said angrily: "Willie, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known it was you, I definitely wouldn't have fought back. "
"Wayne, it hurts so much!" Willie pouted and spat out the sand, with tears in her eyes.
Wayne couldn't see this and quickly comforted him: "Don't be afraid. Wherever it hurts, I'll rub it for you."
"Everywhere hurts, especially my butt."
"Knead it and it won't hurt anymore when you blow on it."
"Oh." Bang!
Veronica gave a flying kick, and two people slid out on the beach.
As soon as the camera turned, Wayne wiped the sand off his face. He was thick-skinned and it didn't hurt at all. He looked at Veronica curiously: "Why are you two here, and you are secretly playing mystery? You are planning to give me a surprise." To be honest, I didn’t recognize it at first, it was so surprising.”
"Stop pretending to be stupid, you clearly recognize it."
Veronica was disdainful and told the pervert not to be sentimental: "It was Willy who invited me here. She is really bored and wants to come to the beach to watch the sea."
"Yes, I also brought a swimsuit." Willie raised her hand.
"What kind of style, show me."
Wayne looked curious and was immediately disappointed when he saw the swimsuit in Willy's suitcase.
The style is very old-fashioned and extremely conservative, completely different from the swimsuit he imagined.
But soon, Wayne thought of new business opportunities. If I remember correctly, there were no bikinis these days, and swimsuits had not yet ushered in a cross-generational change.
"Veronica, where's your swimsuit?"
"I didn't bring it."
"Liar, I saw..."
"ah!"
————
At Crescent Bay Restaurant, Wayne invited the two of them to have afternoon tea.
Veronica is still brooding about Wayne taking advantage of Willie, insisting that the pervert did it on purpose, and pretended not to know when she recognized them.
Don't make nonsense without evidence. This is a society governed by law. Be careful to sue you for defamation!
Wayne looked aggrieved. The two beauties were covered up tightly. They sneered and said nothing when they saw each other. They were greeted by bastard punches. How could he have guessed that it was a prank played by his friends? He overestimated his IQ.
Willy agreed, Wayne didn't mean it.
Veronica was so angry that she drank two glasses of juice, and said full of resentment: "How did you find out about the case? When will you return to Lundan?"
"This issue is a bit complicated..."
Wayne recounted the investigation, and finally lowered his voice and said: "You guys arrived just in time. There is no good person in the Bart family from top to bottom. The detective I am traveling with is also a treacherous villain who hides his secrets. I can only rely on myself to solve the problem." It’s hard to get the dragon’s secret treasure.”
After triggering the keyword, Veronica's eyes lit up and she asked what the dragon's legacy was.
"Not sure, still investigating."
Wayne took advantage of the situation and said: "Speaking of the dragon's secret treasure, I also want to ask you, are there really no dragons on the God's Choice Continent?"
"No."
Veronica nodded firmly, facing Wayne's doubts, she sold her mother without any concealment: "Dragon blood comes from the gift of the goddess of nature. It is an inheritance ceremony and is related to my mother's teacher."
There are no giant dragons in the God's Chosen Continent, but powerful magicians can find giant dragons, especially churches that have a lot of resources. There are many ways to evolve the physique of disciples.
Wayne has obtained important information, and the church has many tricks, and every family has hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
"By the way, do you know about Haijin Shrine?"
"..."
Crescent Bay, Moonlight Church, it turns out that this name is not a coincidence.
…
Half an hour later, the three arrived at the Moonlight Church stronghold.
The believers of the Moonlight Goddess hid in the opera house. After confirming their identity, an old female elder received the three of them.
She calmly talked about the beliefs of the Poseidon Shrine. Poseidon does not exist. The islanders are afraid of the moody sea and long for the wealth of the sea. Over time, they formed the belief in Poseidon.
A spontaneous belief that yearns for beauty and is very pure. The members of Haijin Shrine are also ordinary people, and there are no magicians among them.
Wayne did not mention the dragon secret treasure and asked about the origin of Dragon Heart Island.
"It is said that Longxin Island is the heart of a giant dragon, and meteors fall from the sky like meteors. But this is a legend and cannot be believed to be true." The female elder took out a geography magazine: "This legend is related to the winter storm on the island. People say that it is The dragon is roaring, coupled with the shape of the island, hence the name Dragon Heart Island."
Wayne flipped through a geographical magazine, looked down at the map of Dragon Heart Island, and locked the location of Bart Manor. He wanted to ask something else, but the female elder had already left.
Veronica and Willie planned to stay at the base for the night, but Wayne did not join in the fun and returned to Bart Manor with the magazine in his pocket.
Soon, Kerr came to the door.
"There is a problem with the location of the Bart family's company. I did some research today. The new company was built two years ago, which coincided with Mr. Bart's improvement in health..."
Kerr's eyes flashed: "He is most likely hiding in the company. Heidi also knows this. It is impossible for her to know nothing."
Wayne didn't say anything, but the haunted maid last night said that Mr. Bart had been at the manor house. These two clues were obviously contradictory.
"Mr. Bart is hiding in the company. Heidi is not a magician. She cannot activate the magic mechanism. She pretends not to know anything and puts us at risk."
Kerr said seriously: "What do you think, should we continue to wait, or take the initiative."
"My preference is to keep waiting."
Wayne responded, guessing that Kerr thought the same way, otherwise he would have been so kind to share the information.
After all, Kerr is just looking for cannon fodder for himself.
Bah, vile!
Kerr nodded. Coincidentally, he also thought it would be better to wait.
The dragon's treasure is certainly tempting, but you only have one life. There is no reason to rush forward despite knowing that there is danger.
"I have heard a little bit about the Bart family's beliefs and the blood faith. Some time ago, several congressmen in Lundan went crazy. Have you heard about it?"
“I’ve heard a little bit about it, but I don’t know much about it.”
Wayne asked curiously: "How can I put it this way? I have always suspected that this matter is not simple. Is there any other secret?"
"I know several devout nuns in the Heavenly Father's Church. The followers of the Evil God of Hell have been very active in recent years. The Heavenly Father's Church is short of manpower and is ready to seek help from other churches." Kerr whispered, this was confidential, and warned Wayne not to Rumor has it.
Wayne promised with a serious face that he would never say anything.
"There will be no good consequences for those who believe in the evil god, especially those who betray the evil god. There is a curse on the Bart family. Heidi must be more anxious than us..."
Kerr speculated: "I bet she will stumble upon Mr. Bart's hideout in a few days and invite us to come along."
That's fine.
Wayne nodded, holding an ancient silver coin in his hand. The fellow villagers were growing well, and they just took advantage of these few days to light up the six-pointed star with all their strength.
The dragon’s great secret treasure, I hope it won’t disappoint him.
Bart family, Kerr, Blood Evil God...
The evil god cannot come and can be ignored.
Wayne calculated in his mind that he still had two ambushes, so he had a great chance of winning by taking advantage of the enemy.
Sorry everyone, this is the rule, winner takes all!
