761 Century Scam

 When leaving the shipyard, Angel gave Ohm a nightmare hint, asking him to forget what happened before, and then left.

When he couldn't find any other clues, he decided to start with the Feather Fan that Lucas was riding on. Unexpectedly, he got some valuable information.

For example, Angel got Lucas's final fate from Ohm, and Ohm said with certainty that he was sentenced to death in the history books.

At first, Professor Gurman only speculated that Lucas might be executed. But in Ohm's words, he was very sure that Lucas would definitely be sentenced.

Obviously, the historical facts they confirmed may have errors in their inheritance.

None of them knew that Lucas was not actually executed.

In addition, Angel also learned another thing, which was recorded in both Professor Gurman and the voyage log, but neither of them explained it in detail.

What is Lucas's scam of the century?

According to Ohm, it was actually Lucas who went to the palace to ask for instructions from the king when his family was in decline and the economy was in straits, saying that he wanted to sail across the devil's sea to lead the way for the king and open up new territories.

At that time, the Devil's Sea was already a forbidden area, and no one had the courage to sail into it. But if they wanted to discover other continents, they had to cross the Devil's Sea.

The king has always offered high rewards, hoping that someone would go to sea to explore, but unfortunately no one took the reward until Lucas took the initiative to ask for help.

The king was overjoyed and happily agreed to Lucas, giving him a large amount of supplies. Even the Winged Fan was built with the full support of the treasury.

Lucas left in the year 1347 of Shuojin on the Feathered Fan, and returned at the end of 1353. After being away for nearly six years, he said some inexplicable words to the king after returning.

Ohm didn't know what the specific words were. Anyway, all the ministers present at the time thought it was ridiculous. Moreover, there were many sailors when they went, and when they came back, the sailors were all dead. Lucas said they were killed by pirates, but there was no such thing.

Given the evidence, everyone felt that Lucas was lying.

And, why didn't the pirates kill Lucas?

The king also had some doubts about whether Lucas was lying, because Lucas's reputation has always been very bad, and some ministers in the court categorically said that in the past six years, they had been in a certain country in the Felan continent.

, I saw Lucas somewhere, basically having fun.

The words of these ministers seem to confirm that Lucas did not actually go to sea at all. His going to sea was actually a lie in order to defraud national property.

The king was furious. You must know that the king knew that Lucas was going to put himself in danger and told the entire dynasty about it. Now he told him that Lucas had not left at all. This was a scam. The king was extremely angry. Finally, he ordered the guards

Lucas was arrested and executed.

This is the so-called scam of the century, which not only deceived the king, but also deceived the entire country.

After Angel heard the whole story, he felt that the first half might be true, but the second half was false.

If Lucas was executed, why was his ship in the Devil's Sea, and how did he write the logbook after he died? The last logbook clearly records that it has been more than thirty days since he returned to the mainland. During these days

During these days, no one believed him. When he went out, everyone accused him of being a liar.

He had been back for more than thirty days, and he had already died when he should have been executed. How could he still be left wandering around outside, so it was obvious that the king did not execute Lucas in the end. As for why Lucas was not killed, it is difficult to find out now.

However, as long as he knew this information, Angel could roughly confirm that the people in Song of the Deep Sea or Xialu Ridge probably didn't know that Lucas committed suicide by jumping into a well. Then, he secretly went to investigate the well.

It shouldn't be noticeable.



Devil's Sea, near Silver Palm Island.

Sliu looked at the blisters in front of him and frowned: "Can't find any clues in Lost Music City? No, it's definitely not right. Tuvalu has already asked. There must be clues in Lucas' hometown, Jiebo

Take a closer look, maybe you're not careful?"

At this time, Jetbo, who was flying above Lost Music City, saw a water bubble emerging from the horn of the Narwhal Whale. He listened carefully to the information inside, and after a while, he pinched his eyebrows helplessly.

Tuvalu is a prophetic wizard, and his faction is not one of the three mainstream divisions such as "The River of Destiny", but a niche and very special faction called "The Bell of Questioning".

What Tuvalu asked from the Asking Bell is almost impossible to be wrong. In other words, Lucas must have left some clues in Lost Music City.

Moreover, Jiebo also discovered that people from Xialu Hailing also appeared in Lost Music City, and the prophecy wizard standing behind them should also have received some instructions.

"Prophecy, prophecy! Why can't you directly predict what the clue is?" Jiebo scratched his scalp with some annoyance, but he also knew that the prophecy wizard was not to blame for this matter, and he was just mumbling a few words.

Many times, the fog cannot be cleared away by the prophecy wizard. Moreover, the prophecy department is actually the same as other departments. The more important this matter is, the greater the backlash will be.

Even if they haven't entered the mysterious space yet, but they just get important clues about the item, they can determine the outcome of the prophetic wizard by maximizing the results.

In other words, even if he got a clue, the item would eventually be intercepted halfway, and the backlash the prophecy wizard suffered would also be based on the value of the item.

It's not that they didn't touch on important clues, but that they were powerless. If they couldn't find it, let alone tell them, it was more likely that they would die if they touched it.

When Jiebo was worried, another bubble appeared, with Sliu's voice still inside.

"I have read Lucas's information and give you two suggestions. First, you can start from the ship he sailed; second, there should be something fishy about Lucas's final ending, and you can also start from here. Note

You must find out what the relationship between Lucas and that mysterious space is, and why the prophecies initially obtained by the prophecy wizard all pointed to the unknown Lucas..."

After Jiebo finished listening, he fell into a hidden courtyard. As soon as he entered, more than a dozen wizard apprentices bowed to him. These apprentices dressed in different clothes all had fish scale patterns on their bodies, which showed that they all came from

Song of the Deep Sea.

"Since we can't find any information about Lucas' family property, we evacuated the people first. Divided into two teams, one team went to check the ship Lucas was on, and the other team went to check Lucas' death.

"Jiebo said calmly.

"Understood." Everyone dispersed, leaving only one person at the scene.

She was a petite-looking woman. Her pupils were white and she had no eyeballs, but this did not affect her mental ability to observe the world.

"Bai, why are you still here?"

The woman known as Bai lowered her head and said softly: "Sir, I accidentally discovered a strange wizard apprentice on Widow Street that day. The other party obviously discovered the anomaly on Widow Street, but because my natural ability is to hide.

, the other party didn’t notice me.”

"Oh? Maybe they are from Xialu Hailing. Don't worry about them."

"That person is a man."

After a quick meal, all the people in Xialu Hailing were women, and it was impossible for men to be recognized by the Basket Witch.

"What does that person look like?" Jiebo asked curiously.

Bai took a portrait directly from behind her, obviously she was well prepared.

Jiebo glanced at it, frowned slightly, and whispered to himself: "Is it him?"

Jiebo looked at Bai and asked, "Has this man been to Widow's Street? What has he done these days?"

Now that Bai has discovered the other party, he will obviously follow up.

Bai Ye did not disappoint Jiebo and replied: "He did not enter Widow's Street, but strolled around the nearby square, and he also bought a wishing wind chime and hung it on the wishing tree. This is what I copied later.

His note."

Jiebo took a look and didn't see anything wrong. However, he was a little curious about who "Mentor Jon" was. Judging from the content on the note, it seemed that he was ill. Maybe he was Angel's mentor when he was a mortal?

Jiebo didn't pay attention to the note, but continued to listen to Bai's story.

"Because the other party is too strong, I basically can't catch the other party's movements. I only know that he lives in the Earl's Mansion of New Ross. I don't know what he has been doing in the past two days, but on the day he arrived at the Earl's Mansion, I left the Earl's Mansion.

I heard from the servants that he seemed to have been testing his talent for others most of the night."

Hearing this, Jiebo nodded slightly: "I understand, you don't need to worry about what he said. He should have nothing to do with Lucas's affairs, he is just here to find talented people."

Bai: "Sir, what you mean is that he is the leader who has taken over the guidance task?"

Jiebo nodded: "That's right."

"Then should I still pay attention to him?"

"Forget it." Jiebo thought to himself. Since Angel found the wizard apprentice on Widow Street but didn't go in, it was probably the effect of what happened that day.

Since he had taken the stance of not offending the river, there was no need for Jetbo to offend a promising alchemist, not to mention that the other party was not weak. With his powerful illusions and the fireworks gryphon,

Even if they go out in full force, they will just deliver food.

It's better for everyone to take a step back.



Angel didn't know that he had actually been exposed to the Song of the Deep intelligence network. Thanks to his caution, he didn't go to Widow Street after discovering the Extraordinary One, otherwise Jetbo might not have let him go.

At this time, Angel was looking at a map handed over by Nite.

It recorded the locations of water wells in each household in detail. What made Angel happy was that, not to mention the area he had designated, there were not many water wells in the entire Shelege City, which could greatly reduce his workload.

.

"Because there are several wells at home, I thought that every household had a well, and thought it might be a cumbersome matter. Unexpectedly, after checking, I found that there were so few wells in Shilege City. My friend told me,

There are several freshwater rivers intersecting in Shelege City, so if there is no shortage of water resources, there will be fewer people building wells," Nite said.

The fewer wells, the faster the elimination.

In addition, Nite marked the construction time next to each well, and many wells with uncertain dates were also marked with a rough range, allowing Angel to quickly reduce the range to a minimum.
