Locke Holmes was originally a member of the Royal Alchemy Laboratory. Later, like Sinkid, he left the laboratory for two reasons. The first was that he did not like the unchanging scientific research life.
In his own words, running between home and laboratory like a bumblebee every day, doing almost the same thing, this kind of life will kill him!
The second is that he may, probably, maybe, be the last human being in the world who is still sucking dream dust!
As mentioned before, many, many years ago, an alchemical product called dream dust was popular on the mainland. People who smoked this stuff would have a dream-like feeling!
Just like an ordinary person can enter his own sea of consciousness, in a dream, he is a god and can do whatever he wants!
Later, this kind of thing had seriously threatened the rule of various empires. Almost overnight, all countries jointly declared that smoking and selling dream dust would trigger the law! Dream dust became the first person in the history of Faerûn to be treated as such.
An alchemical product that is a forbidden product!
Although many people who were deeply addicted died of pain because they could not get the dream dust to relieve their pain, in the end, time healed the wounds. When the group of people who smoked dream dust were almost dead, this matter was over.
Gone!
But Dong Luoke didn't know where he got this ancient rumor. He likes to stimulate life, and with his talent, he really developed an alchemical product similar to dream dust, but the effect is not as good as the lost one.
The dreamy dust is just so overbearing.
Even so, in the eyes of the director of the alchemy laboratory, Dong Luoke's behavior was simply unforgivable! He felt like he was drunk every day! Chaos! Finally, after notifying the king, this talented man
The alchemist was kicked out of the alchemy laboratory! He also became the laughing stock of many alchemists!
When everyone originally thought he would sink like this, Dong Locke opened a private detective agency and used his meticulous thinking and powerful alchemy to solve many cases! He became famous! He became the most famous person in Britain.
Detective!
One of the most famous cases, and the one that attracted the attention of King Arthur Pendry, who had just ascended the throne at that time, was the "half-elf finger" case that caused a sensation in Britain!
In a sense, after the current King Arthur and Arthur Pendry officially became the king, Britain should be regarded as a subordinate country of the Elf Empire, one of the strongest empires on the mainland! Although the Elf Empire has not officially expressed its position, Arthur
·Pandri’s biological mother is a member of the royal family of the Elf Empire!
Therefore, Arthur Pendry also has a certain status in the Elf Empire! This makes many humans with partial elven blood like to take refuge in Britain! Because most half-elves are not recognized by the Elf Empire.
Therefore, they are the favorite slaves of slave owners without protection! Because they are beautiful and do not age easily! And as long as they run to Britain, then according to British law, they will officially become British citizens. Any arrest of them will
The harm is all a provocation to the British royal family and the Knight King Arthur Pendry! He will definitely die miserably!
Therefore, Britain has become a paradise for half-elves. But just about seven years ago, that is, the second year after Winter Locke left the Royal Alchemy Laboratory, six murders occurred in Zemas, the capital of Britain.
All those killed were female half-elves, and the cause of death was suffocation. At the same time, the little finger of their left hand was neatly cut off!
This made Arthur Pendry very angry! He ordered to solve the case within a time limit, but Zesra was so big and there were so many half-elves that there was no clue at all. So the then chief of defense of Zemas had no choice but to hire someone who had already
The slightly famous Dongluoke. In the end, it only took him three days to catch the criminal and save the seventh half-elf who was about to die, even though her little finger had been cut off by that time!
The prisoner was a woman, and the reason why she killed the half-elf was because her husband was obsessed with the newly married half-elf and ignored her.
Naturally, she died miserably! It is said that King Arthur planted the special product of the Elf Forest, the man-eating vine, on the prisoner's body. The vine will grow on human blood, body fluids, and human internal organs. The whole process is long and painful! In the end
He was sucked alive and made into a human being!
From then on, Winter Locke also became famous in Britain and became the leading detective! To be precise, he should be the royal detective! Because he took orders directly from King Arthur, this was King Arthur's reward for saving the half-elf!
However, Dong Luoke did not change his life just because he became a great detective. When there was no case, he was still extremely lazy, sucking diluted dream dust every day, but as long as there was a case, he would become
Incredibly energetic!
For example, right now, he is lying on the sofa in the living room. He has just inhaled some dream dust on the coffee table. At this time, his whole body is trembling slightly! The eyes under his eyelids are also constantly wandering! From time to time, he will whisper softly.
Moan a little.
"Bang!" The door was kicked open! It hit the wall hard! Dong Luoke was so frightened that he sat up! "Oh my God, Olena, can't you open the door with your hands?"
Olina rolled her eyes at Donglock and said, "Her Majesty the Queen has given an order for you to follow Duke Atwood to Yalaschi to handle the case!"
As soon as he heard about the case, Dong Luoke suddenly became energetic, and the decadent feeling brought to him by the dream dust seemed to have never existed before!
"What case?"
Olina was about to say something, but when she saw the line of white powder on the coffee table, she became angry, bastard, "Didn't you say you wouldn't smoke it in the future?"
"Calm down, calm down~" Dong Luo Ke stretched out fiercely! "I have improved this thing, it will not cause harm to the body! Wait for me for a while, and as Dong Luo Ke stood up unsteadily,
I'm going to wash my hair, brush my teeth, and shave my beard! Before you go out, you have to clean yourself up! You can't lose the face of the royal family!"
"This bastard hasn't changed at all in all these years..."
Olina sat down on the sofa with a bang. She could still feel Dongluoke's body temperature on the warm sofa. Her smooth long hair spread along her shoulders, and her two pointed ears poked out.
Her hair! The tight-fitting uniform better reflects her exquisite figure, and there is a long sword with exquisite patterns engraved standing next to it, which adds a touch of sassiness! The only flaw is that her left hand, which is tapping her knee, has no little finger.
I can't help but feel a bit of regret in this supposedly perfect picture!
It was obvious that she was the seventh half-elf who was about to die. The result was just like in a movie. At the last moment, she was saved by Dong Luoke. When she opened her eyes, she saw the man with a trace of laziness in his eyes.
When she met a man, she found that she had fallen in love with him!
But what she didn't know was that, in fact, Dong Locke just hadn't woken up that day. Later, she stayed with Dong Locke and became his assistant. In order to be able to help Dong Locke, she continued to train herself
, made himself stronger, and eventually became Dong Locke's personal bodyguard and assistant!
On the steam locomotive leading to Yaraschi, Winter Locke was carefully examining the parchment brought by Atwood.
"How's it going? Have you found anything?" Although Dong Luoke's strength is average and he looks like an ordinary person, Atwood knows that this guy's ability to strip away threads and find the truth is probably even better than in the whole of Britain.
There are not many people who are better than him!
Dong Luo Ke was chewing a kind of vine branch in his mouth. This is a specialty of Lake Neisen. It has a slightly fragrant taste. Dong Luo Luo put it together with the dream dust and soaked it in water, and then put it into a special metal box.
It can be kept for a long time! When analyzing cases, he likes to chew this kind of vine branches!
Hearing Atwood's words, he opened the window and spat out the tasteless vine branches that he had chewed for a long time. Then he slowly said, "The other party is very cunning and did not leave many traces. From here on,
There’s not a lot of information that can be read on a piece of paper.”
"To be sure, this man is not a Briton!"
"What's the reason?"
Faced with Atwood's question, Dong Luoke smiled confidently, "If you look carefully at this parchment, you can find that the magic circle on the back will make ordinary people, including me, dizzy just by looking at it. It's very...
It's smooth, and it's not an exaggeration to call it a work of art. It's almost a masterpiece in one go! This proves that there's nothing wrong with his hands! But the text on the front is not very smooth in many places, and this kind of irregularity
The smooth performance is very regular, and it only appears on some uncommon words!"
"For example, the word "mecha" hardly appears in daily life, so every time he writes these two words, his pen will pause slightly, which shows that he is not very proficient.
This kind of writing."
"Then there is the grammar and the application of some words. Language is a kind of knowledge that is constantly improving and reforming. There will be a big difference between the British language a hundred years ago and today! And his wording is not consistent.
The word usage habits of us Britons are a bit rigid now! Although there is no difference in meaning when read!"
"So it is certain that this person is not from Britain, or that he has just arrived in Britain not long ago! As for other information," Dong Locke crumpled the parchment again, "In terms of material, this parchment has the same quality as any other in Britain.
It’s available, there’s nothing special about it, but he made the paper a little thinner, so it should be easier to fold into that triangular fluid shape!”
"What's the use of this shape?" Olina, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help asking curiously.
"He folded the parchment into this shape, which looks like the head of a long sword. This way, when flying with the help of wind spells, he can tear the air with less effort! As a knight, you should understand it easily."
Olina nodded.
"As for the others, I think we can only discover them after we get to Yalaschi."
