Morgan didn't know that Graylint had already made up his mind to delay for a while. After giving the instructions, he told Graylint:
"In addition to your own investigation tasks, you also need to help Ms. Nolan."
"Did she encounter any difficulties?"
Gray Lint attended the Extraordinary Party yesterday, and Joan had already rested when he came back. She left very early today, so he really didn't know what problem Joan had encountered.
"Um."
Morgan nodded and explained:
"The 'Lakeside Manor' in Ana town used to be the property of Sid Jeff, the largest local rich man. The wheat produced there tasted very good. It was originally a very rich manor. But later, Mr. Jeff's slaves
Inside, someone secretly joined the 'Eternal Life Society' and they planned an evil sacrifice ceremony in the manor."
The information related to the "Eternal Life Society" is still relatively low-level in MI9, so Gray Lint knows something about it.
They are a branch of the Spiritual Cult and have a very large influence among slaves. Their organization's point of view is: people who believe in the God of Death will obtain eternal life in the underworld after a painful death. They will not simply kill people, but
They will kill very cruelly, because they believe that only in this way can they return to the embrace of Hades.
"Originally, Mr. Jeff was a believer of the Night Goddess, so the summoning ceremony was finally solved by the Nighthawks. However, the residual influence of the ceremony made the place no longer suitable for living and planting, so the 'Lakeside Manor' was abandoned
Already."
"Recently, I received information from an informant that some indigenous people occupied the place and seemed to be connected with the resistance, so I asked Ms. Nolan to check it out. Unexpectedly, she came over this morning and told me that those indigenous people were very
She is very cruel and does not cooperate with her investigation. She hopes that I will send another team member with stronger combat effectiveness to help her."
"I think your mission here is not in a rush anyway, and you are relatively familiar with her, so I plan to let you take a look."
"That's it!"
"Okay, I will discuss it with her tonight."
For both emotional and rational reasons, it would be more appropriate to go to Glerint.

In the evening, the restaurant of the garden house.
After the meal, Gray Lint asked Joan about what Morgan said in the afternoon, and found that the matter was more serious than he originally expected.
Previously, it seemed to him that this was the kingdom's colonial territory. Even if the natives did not cooperate, they would not dare to harm Joan, who had an official status. Unexpectedly, during today's investigation, they had already broken out into a armed conflict with Joan.
!
Originally, when Qiong asked normally yesterday, they were quite honest.
I just told Qiong that this group of people were originally residents of the "Stockstock Village" in the west. After the water tide in the Split Stone Lake rose, the low-lying crops of several of their families were flooded. This made them feel uncomfortable this year.
The harvest was greatly reduced, so I came here as a last resort to see if I could reclaim this ominous land and plant more next year.
This reason is quite reasonable.
Although it is not yet April, this is the Southern Continent after all, so it is the harvest season recently, but it has actually come to an end.
What is unreasonable is that they severely rejected Joan's request to go in and check.
They even picked up their farming tools and drove her away...
And when Qiong was about to sneak in today, they launched a direct attack on her. Fortunately, Qiong was very good at it, and after a brief fight, she managed to escape easily.
What Glalint couldn't understand was why they had the guts to attack Joan directly?
You know, Joan now represents MI9! And MI9 is directly in contact with the army, the number one violent organization in the Loen Kingdom.
If they were just ordinary indigenous residents, they would not dare to offend Joan, let alone attack directly. And if they really had contact with the resistance, Joan would not escape so easily.
It was indeed relatively easy, she didn't even use the "trick gloves".
"They have absolutely no intention of being reasonable."
Joan joked:
"Compared to you, they are truly 'savage'!"
"Well, this is not your kind of reckless barbarism, it is closer to the deviation from 'civilization'."
The speaker was unintentional, but Gray Lint's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this.
He remembered that the description of the "savages" in the original book was: "Problems that cannot be solved by law will be solved by force! This is also a kind of rule."
This seems to be different from his previous "unthinking" and "reckless" behavior?
That's more like the operation of the grumpy old man from the Church of Storms.
Moreover, what Joan described: "Barbarism" is the deviant side of "civilization"! It also gave him some ideas for acting.
————————————————————————
The next morning, after riding an ox cart for more than an hour, Gray Lint and Joan arrived at the small town of Ana.
In addition, Alister followed him.
In terms of personal lethality, Gray Lint is not necessarily as good as Alister now. His weird curses are still very threatening, but they are often more complicated to operate and cannot be used in actual combat.
.And Alister is a pure aborigine after all, and he must know more about these aborigines than he and Shirley do.
Graylint, who was willing to take the initiative to play the role, temporarily handed "2-29" to Joan in advance. It was just for carrying, but if she didn't wear it, it would be no problem for Joan to carry it for several days.
Although he had to play the role of a "barbarian", Gray Lint still didn't do anything like rush in and beat everyone up - maybe that was the way to play the "Prisoner" path sequence eight.
After admiring the scenery of Split Stone Lake for a while, the three of them arrived at the entrance of the manor.
In the Southern Continent, many manors are blocked off with wooden fences, but of course this cannot prevent Gray Lint and the others from infiltrating, it's just that he doesn't want to do this.
For him, the tasks assigned by Morgan were not as important as his own performance...
After a brief commotion, most of the people in the manor gathered at the door. There were more than twenty people, all looking at Joan and the leader Gray Lint with hatred. Their leader was a skinny man in his fifties.
The little old man has dark cheeks, chapped skin, and gray hair.
"Sir, there really are no rebels here as you mentioned."
"I can guarantee it with my faith!"
"Why don't you believe us?"
He looked very pitiful and complained to Joan. But his words were actually meant for the leader, Gray Lint.
Joan glanced at Gray Lint who didn't interrupt, and said seriously:
"Then let us go in and take a look. Only in this way can we believe it."
After a slight hesitation, she added:
"Besides, you are not allowed to use it for farming here."
In response to her request, the old man shook his head like a rattle:
"No, no, you can't go in."
"Get out of the way, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"
Graylint, who had no intention of wasting words, saw that their attitude was extremely stubborn, so he took a big step forward, and at the same time activated the majesty of the "Ring of Orders", and scolded them very severely.
The majesty derived from the sixth level of the "Arbiter" sequence made them all tremble unconsciously, almost wanting to run away.
However, perhaps because of the large number of people, none of them gave up their resistance. Some of them were even aroused by Gray Linte, with a hint of ruthlessness in their eyes.
