In the past half week, at night in Coldwater Port, the police often had gun battles with some monsters that could not be told to the citizens. Most of the murlocs with strong self-healing abilities had firearms. Before the arrival of the ring warlocks, the local police could only do the same.
Use firearms to counterattack.
Coupled with the fact that more and more ring warlock organizations have entered here, this has caused the night in Coldwater Port to become noisy.
Fishbone pirate ships continued to appear in the offshore area of ​​Coldwater Port, and among the eleven ring warlocks who escaped from the ship with Shad and the princess, another one was found by the church. But unfortunately, the other person was a middle-aged woman, not Shad.
The goal.
Princess Lesia also relied on the intelligence department of the Coldwater Port City Hall and the MI6 branch in Coldwater Port to find a target. This person was a male. Unfortunately, Lesia could not find it, but other organizations could also find it.
Before the princess showed up, at least three middle-level warlocks raided the police station at the Coldwater Port Pier, leaving the unlucky second-level warlock and the ordinary policeman who had been implicated for no reason to die on the spot.
This made the church and the city hall very angry. Even the king as far away as Tobesk heard about the tragedy at the Coldwater Port dock and ordered the local governor to find the murderer as soon as possible.
In addition, there are also some news that even Lesia cannot judge whether it is true or not, spreading in Coldwater Port, which is gradually becoming dangerous.
For example, it was reported on the black market that someone was offering a high reward of 1,000 pounds for each piece of information, looking for the Ring Warlock who escaped from the fishbone pirate ship; for example, there were traces of mermaids in the offshore waters of Coldwater Port, and they were not ugly fishmen from the Evil God's Familiar Tribe.
It is a truly heterogeneous species of mermaids; for another example, the professors from the three major colleges sent to Coldwater Port to solve the "Coldwater Port Shadow" incident had a big fight with an unknown group of ring warlocks in the offshore area on Sunday morning, which directly affected the recent
Two days of weather.
Excluding those uncertain news, the current situation is that, excluding the stranger and the princess, one of the eleven escaped ring magicians died, the church found three, and the identities of the remaining seven are unknown.
The church's high-level warlocks have arrived, and professors from the three major thaumaturgy academies have also settled here. The bad news is that Shade will have greater uncertainty if he wants to find the target ahead of them. The good news is that "Shadow of Coldwater Harbor"
"There is nothing to worry about.
"Ms. Sylvie Aurora, are you in Coldwater Port now?"
Lecia introduced the situation to Shade, but Shade suddenly asked.
The princess nodded in surprise:
"Why did you suddenly mention her? Yes, the businesswoman came to this city two days ago and planned to hold a dinner party at Aurora Manor tomorrow night. She even gave me an invitation letter, why do you want to go too?
"
"Of course not."
Shade immediately shook his head. How could he take the initiative to bump into the witches before he could avoid them:
"Tonight and tomorrow night, I have to go to class. It is Professor Garcia's "Folding Space", which teaches large-scale ritual mystery. Class starts at six o'clock in the evening, two classes, four hours, no rest time, almost nine o'clock Only then can get out of class be over.”
"It doesn't matter. The banquet should be in full swing at nine o'clock."
Lesia smiled again and said, but Shade still shook his head. He would never go to that kind of place.
Taking advantage of the time, Shade also told Lesia the [Tree Kiss] he told Dorothy in the morning. Even though the princess was one level higher than Dorothy, she still couldn't fully listen to Shade's experience.
But regarding the [Tree Kiss] spiritual rune, Lesia’s views are similar to Dorothy’s.
It is difficult for Shade to find the thaumaturgy corresponding to this spiritual rune. He will most likely have to create it on his own, or try to convert the same-origin spell [Key to the Door] into thaumaturgy, but neither of them can do it.
Simple. Lesia also planned to help Shade find information from Zarath Academy of Literature, which specializes in thaumaturgy and conjuration research, but she didn't have much hope in this.
"Speaking of which, do you remember Professor Katya?"
Lesia seemed to have left this matter to the end on purpose.
"Of course you remember. After all, we rarely meet folklorists who are good at using two guns."
Shade nodded and looked at the steaming teacup in front of him:
"I remember when we returned to Sophia's mansion last time, you mentioned that you would let them go free after making them forget about the fish-men."
"Yes, but after you left that day, I asked some interesting things. I know Mr. Jude, and it was my spies who received the information deliberately released by the other party, but the two folklorists went to Mr. Jude,
Guess who introduced it?"
Lesia asked, holding her face with one hand, looking at Shade with her beautiful eyes, and slightly raising the corners of her mouth, showing a smile.
Shade thought for a while and frowned. He heard something using [Echoes of the Past] in Mr. Jude's mansion. Mr. Jude clearly asked the murlocs to stop abducting ordinary people, so two ordinary people
It is indeed a coincidence that a scholar appeared at that time.
"who is it?"
"The Ring Warlock, a Ring Warlock infected with the same curse as me. The other party also heard the news released by Mr. Jude, but unlike us going to see him directly, the people behind it first sent two ordinary people to explore the way."
"Is he also someone who escaped from the fishbone pirate ship? Or is he a local victim who touched the mermaid statue?"
"He's one of the seven left, and we've met him."
Lesia said softly.
"Mr. Darkness? The guy who changes the cards when I play cards!"
Shade stood up immediately, and the princess nodded with a peaceful smile:
"Yes, I know you are looking for him, so I have spent a lot of effort these days to find Mr. Darkness along the clues provided by Professor Katya. I received the news last night. The other party thought that Professor
Before I went to see Mr. Jude, the old street occupied by the fishmen was taken away by the church, so I haven't suspected that the person who has been in contact with him in the past half week is actually one of my people."
"Where?"
Shade spoke quickly.
"Oh, Shade, don't be impatient. My father often told me that being impatient will only increase the probability of bad results. I know you don't want the church to find him first, so I haven't alerted him for the time being."
She motioned for Shade to sit down:
"The other party is deliberately concealing his identity, not because of the curse on his body, but because he seems to be worried about being discovered by the church. That Mr. Darkness is probably not a good person."
"It doesn't matter whether he is a good person or not, I just want to meet him."
Shade said, and Lesia nodded:
"There are more than ten companions around the other party. I am not sure whether he is a ring warlock, but the probability is very high, so my people did not rush to check the information. If you want to see him, go to this address. Oh, I also
I know this group of people are waiting for the ship to the New World."
The bartender at the Seven Broomsticks Tavern also mentioned this matter.
She handed the document bag to Shade, which was a preliminary investigation conducted by the princess.
"I can't take any chances with you today, Shade."
While Shade was looking through the documents, the red-haired girl said melancholy:
"Father has urged me to return to Tobesk, and I will probably leave after being returned by sea. In the next few days, I will meet with the nobles who are seeing them off at Coldwater Port, attend a local public gathering to say goodbye to the citizens, and there will be several banquets to attend.
join."
"It doesn't matter, I can handle these things myself."
Shade looked through the documents and said that he actually did not want to involve Lesia in the matter of the chosen one:
"I will probably be active in Coldwater Harbor for a day. I will come back in the evening and say goodbye to you before leaving."
"Okay, then I wish you good luck today, Shade. Oh, my maid will do your makeup in a while, and then arrange for servants to take you into the city."
"Okay, then I wish you a happy day..."
Shade stood up, but paused and looked at the princess wearing a silver crown behind the desk:
"Oh, I heard from Dorothy that you have a conflict with Miss Carina?"
"Why did you mention that woman?"
Lesia, who was in a good mood just now, shook her head:
"This is my family matter."
"Oh well."
Shade didn't ask any questions and walked out of the room with the document bag. The princess was left sitting behind the desk looking at his back. After a long time, she sighed and looked at the documents on the table again.
She did not want to involve the innocent and kind-hearted detective in the power struggle within the royal family.
The rain was still falling in Coldwater Port, and Shade, holding an umbrella, was walking through the streets of the ancient seaport city. He did not go to Mr. Darkness first, but went to the Seven Broomsticks Tavern and bought some expensive alchemy in the Tavern.
Material.
Xia De had heard of all the materials needed to make the Detection Witch's badge, but it was very troublesome to find them in Tobesk, so he bought them at Coldwater Port. Of course, because he was very unconfident in his alchemy skills, Xia De
De bought each material in enough quantity to make it three times.
