Secret: I, the hermit, want to make progress too much

Chapter 117 Bad!Now it's my turn to feel uncomfortable!

"Mr. Essinger, it seems that you have not been doing well recently."

Roy said with a smile.

When Essinger saw him, his face showed uncontrollable joy: "Mr. Green, I didn't expect you to come. Please come in, please come in!"

"Thank you."

Roy pushed up his hat and walked in to look at the living room.

well.

Klein is not here!
It was not the kind of situation that I expected to have a face-to-face encounter.

He smiled and said, "What happened?"

"Hey, it's still that serial murder case. Since the last two cases, he has killed three more people recently."

Essinger sighed and talked about his difficulties.

As a detective, and a detective who works closely with the authorities, it is normal for Silveras Field to face big problems at this time, and to put the pressure on him.

There have been five serial murders, and the newspapers have criticized Silveras Field more and more every time.

Every time one more person dies, a few more policemen will come to Essinger's door.

He has been thinking about moving recently.

Roy thought for a while and said, "Detective Essinger, how far have you found out?"

"To be honest, I haven't found any clues. I feel that there is a certain connection between the deceased, but I can't find the connection point."

Essinger sighed.

Roy recalled for a moment, vaguely recalling the memory of the murder.

This demon seems to be a dog, and the people it kills have one thing in common -

All had worked in the prostitution industry.

After knowing the result, he suddenly felt quite confident. He sat down and said, "Can I see the case file? Or, has their identity information been fully investigated?"

"I can't give you the file, but I have recorded some important information. Based on what is known so far, there seems to be no professional overlap."

Essinger handed over a piece of paper.

Roy took it, slowly read and watched.

Essinger thought for a while and added: "But according to my reasoning, the murderer's weapon is very strange. It may be some kind of claw. As for the past files, I have asked the police station to investigate."

Essinger said this and added his "request".

"I hope you try to use divination to find out the other person's identity."

"Okay, but I also have my own needs."

When Roy saw that the other party had expressed his intentions, he no longer hid his intentions. It was in everyone's interest to get straight to the point.

He smiled and said: "You have been in Backlund for many years, and you must have come into contact with many extraordinary people. I hope to find a place where I can easily purchase materials."

"I've never been to a party like this."

Essinger said calmly, "You also know that the more people you come into contact with, the easier it is to expose yourself."

"Where's the medicine store?"

Roy "settled for the next best thing."

Essinger hesitated for a moment and said, "I know a pharmacist. If you need anything, I can help you buy it."

"Okay, I need these things."

Roy took out the list.

He had already laid it out in advance.

Essinger took it.

The materials Roy gave him were normal.

They are all some herbs, medicinal materials, or medicinal liquids that are relatively easy to buy in pharmacies, and the blood of extraordinary monsters.

They are inexpensive but can be used as spellcasting materials for wizards.

As for Professor Scroll.

Essinger didn't think that way, he was more concerned about his case at the moment.

"If it's just these, I can help you purchase it."

"Okay, I'll try it first, but I may not succeed."

Roy took out the pendant for divination and tried more than ten divination statements. Some of them could be divined, while others could not get the exact information.

Then he shook his head slightly.

"The other party has the ability to counter divination, and it is impossible to accurately divine information about him, but one thing is certain."

"Ok?"

"These victims all have one thing in common, they all worked in the same profession."

Roy said.

All of the several sentences he successfully divined avoided the murderer. Instead, he directly divined the victim's information. He also completely avoided all sentences related to the murderer and obtained the result through name divination.

Essinger was stunned.

Then, thoughtfully, his eyes scanned the list.

Five names, five identities, and professions. Normally, they cannot have the same professional characteristics, but...

There is one exception.

"prostitute!"

He took a breath and then got slightly excited, "What I should have thought of earlier is that they are all women, with no regional intersections, no superficial professions or other commonalities..."

There is only one possibility.

They also have occupations hidden under their identities, and the one that is easier to think of is "prostitute."

"Indeed, except for the maids, everyone else lives in the East District and the Bridge District. Many women who have lost their jobs in that area have participated in this kind of business."

Roy chuckled, "Very quick reasoning."

"Thanks to your help."

Essinger smiled.

The demon, the promotion ritual, and the victims are all prostitutes.

With this information, he is confident that he can quickly find a breakthrough point in the chaos. If that doesn't work, he can summon a few detectives he knows to conduct a reasoning storm and it should be able to solve the problem.

"Then I wish you success, great detective."

Roy said with a smile.

Essinger waved his hand: "It's too early to say this. Although I know this information, the other party has the ability to counter divination. Even if I find the identity, I may not be able to catch it."

in contrast.

Once the information he is pursuing is known to the devil...

Then the devil lurking in the dark will most likely regard him as a target.

"At least there is a direction. As for his identity, I can't help at this point."

Roy stood up to say goodbye.

Essinger immediately stopped.

"Wait a minute, you didn't give me your address. If I buy something, where should I send it?"

"Send it to Harvest Church in the South District and give it to the bishop there."

Roy smiled lightly.

Essinger's hand holding the pipe suddenly froze.

Is this what he asked?
It's really not leaking at all. In comparison, my location and address are as transparent as anything.

“How much do I have to pay for those materials?”

"No, last time Qilingos was killed, I got a bounty and didn't share it with you. I can just use that money to buy materials."

Essinger said lightly, and then took a puff of cigarette.

Roy's identity...

He already had a rough guess.

Wizard, Dawn of Elements.

Such a style is unlikely to be that of the Moss Ascetic Society. Although those people may be different from Aurora, they are by no means such decent characters.

Roy smiled and said: "Friend, see you later."

"No, Green, we can't be called friends. You know where I live, and you didn't even give me an address."

Essinger said.

Roy chuckled and said, "I already told you that I live in the South District. It shouldn't be a problem for a Keeper to find where I am."

The two looked at each other, and then nodded tacitly, and did not continue to dwell on this topic.

In a sense, this was a more candid and direct meeting.

Roy stood up and left.

……

In the afternoon, Roy returned to Rose Street and saw Klein entering the Harvest Church.

Ok?
What is he doing here?
Roy thought for a moment and suppressed his curiosity.

After thinking for a moment, he did not go home, but went to South Garr Street.

In Rue Gard, Urbano has left by boat, but grain merchants from Feneport are still doing business here.

and.

After arriving here, Roy discovered something.

Urbano's men didn't leave.

To be precise, Urbano Mohan is gone, but the man who looks a lot like Urbano and Soze who bought the warrior potion formula from him are still there.

The two of them obviously didn't notice Roy.

"Urbano" was negotiating with others in the front, while Soze was acting as a bodyguard from a distance behind.

Roy walked over and laughed softly: "Suoze, I thought you had left, but I didn't expect you hadn't finished yet."

"Who?"

Sauze turned around suddenly and drew out the dagger in his hand. After seeing Roy, he immediately sheathed the sword and said in surprise: "Mr. Green?!"

He immediately looked at Urbano in front, then trotted forward and whispered in his ear: "Boss, Mr. Green."

Urbano turned his head, then said a few words to the businessman, then turned directly and walked towards Roy.

A stiff smile appeared on his face.

Obviously.

As a stand-in for the real Urbano, he is still a little different from himself.

Not only the strength, but also the temperament, momentum, etc. were all far behind, so much so that Roy could tell who was real and who was fake at a glance.

"Mr. Urbano, we meet again."

"Mr Green."

"Urbano" smiled and shook hands, then pointed to the villa over there, "Shall we go there to chat?"

"it is good."

He followed the other party to the familiar villa.

After sitting down, "Urbano" revealed his identity.

"Mr. Green, my real name is Mu He, and I am the boss's subordinate."

Mu Hyuk said respectfully.

"hunter?"

Roy looked at him.

Muhe's etheric body is very healthy and his body is very strong, and his eyes are very bright, which makes Roy feel like he is not an ordinary person.

Based on the style Urbano shows, he might be included in the same sequence to make the "shadow" effect more realistic.The other party nodded slightly.

"I'm a provocateur."

"..."

Provocateur?
Roy looked at him again.

Mu He twitched the corner of his mouth and explained: "The boss said that you cannot rashly provoke a strong man, especially since you are still our friend."

"Didn't you leave?"

"I just returned to Backlund the day before yesterday. We are businessmen and we have to continue the grain business. As for the boss, he didn't come over in Feneport."

Muhyul replied.

Roy felt a little regretful.

If I had known they would come back, I wouldn't have had to turn to Detective Essinger.

but.

fair enough.

The remaining part can be entrusted to them, which will not let Essinger know that he has reached Sequence 6, and can also disperse the purchasing pressure.

Roy was secretly happy.

He smiled slightly.

"Where does your fleet usually go?"

"We usually sell Feneport's things to Loen, and then purchase goods from Loen and sell them to Feysac. If you have any needs, we will definitely sell them to you cheaply if we have them."

Muhyul said kindly.

just.

Compared with Urbano, his expression is not so friendly, and he lacks a bit of the "sincerity" of the performance.

"Do you have the blood of sea beasts? The blood of extraordinary monsters like fish-men is the best."

Roy stated his purpose, "I need them as casting materials."

"It really does exist!"

Mu He clapped his legs, "We met a fish-man on the road. Unfortunately, the guy ran fast and was attacked by other sea beasts. He only cut off one arm."

He turned his head.

"Soze."

"Yes."

After a while, Suo Ze cooperated with two male servants to carry a box into the hall.

Open the box.

There was a fish fin wrapped in bloody water inside, which looked very bloody.

Mu He coughed lightly and said a little embarrassedly: "Sir, is this okay?"

bloody.

Roy frowned and said, "This is a bit too thin, and the effect will be greatly reduced."

"But it is indeed the blood of fishmen."

Mu Hyuk sounded serious.

Suo Ze looked at Mu He, winked wildly, and even coughed a few times.

but.

Mu Hyuk still goes his own way.

"Sir, this thing is not easy to catch in the sea, especially in recent years, the number has become less and less, and who would take it with them?"

Soze was silent.

Who has free time...

So why is it here?
He sighed silently.

Roy held back his smile and said, "It is indeed the blood of fishmen. I can accept it, but the price must be based on the blood mixed with water."

"Of course."

Soze said first.

Then he closed the lid.

"The fin?"

"There is no need for the fins. They cannot be used to cast spells, but I heard that barbecue and stewed fish soup are very good. Of course, you can also try slicing them and stewing them with sauerkraut."

That is pickled fish.

Mu Hyul had obviously never heard of such a way of eating. He seemed to want to say something, but when he touched Soze's expression, he seemed to realize the rudeness just now.

He thought for a while and said with a smile: "Since you understand so much, sir, why don't you stay here tonight and I'll have someone make this thing according to your method."

Roy imagined it for a moment, and he really wanted to eat it——

Regardless of the fact that it came from a fish-man, that thing looked quite appetizing, but it was a pity that he still had to go to the Mysterious Hall for a meeting tonight.

This was Lovia's first time attending a meeting, so she couldn't just pull her hips.

He sighed regretfully: "No, I have something else to do tonight."

"pity."

Mu Hyuk smashed his mouth.

He also felt quite appetizing after hearing it, and wanted to try the so-called fish fillet stewed with pickled cabbage.

Sauze observed for a while and said: "Mr. Green, after we returned to Backlund, we heard about a terrible wizard in the South District..."

"They are just rumors and cannot be fully believed, but some wizards do have evil methods. If you see such wizards, you can tell me."

"Ok."

Suo Ze looked at Mu He, with a hint of warning in his eyes.

The three of them chatted for a while. Seeing that the sky was getting closer and Klein was probably gone, Roy stood up to say goodbye.

But before leaving, he asked: "When will you leave next time?"

"It will take another week or two, right? We will supply and ship goods here, and then consider going to Fusac. Why, do you want to come with us?"

"Not yet, but I may need you to take me for a ride next time. I want to go to Fusac for a walk and browse the scenery of the Northland."

Roy Road.

It was true that he wanted to go to Fusac.

The reason is of course not sightseeing, but to look for traces and legends about "Vogania" and see if I can find some relevant knowledge.

of course.

If he really found the so-called "Fugania" in Fusac, he would definitely not plunge into it.

Azik, Bernadette, there is always someone who can help him.

"Of course, but it will take two or three months for our fleet to come back. You may not meet us next time."

Suoze took out a badge and said, "Put it away. As long as you see a fleet with this badge engraved on it, it belongs to our Mohan family. You can rest assured to get on board."

Above it is the emblem of a noble, and on the back of the emblem is the Feneport word for "Mohan" engraved.

This is the coat of arms of the Mohan family and represents Urbano Mohan.

Roy put it away solemnly: "Thank you, I will keep it and return it to the captain when we get to Fusac."

"No need to pay it back. This is what the boss told me to give to you."

Sauze smiled.

"Okay, thank Mr. Urbano for me."

Roy smiled and didn't take it seriously.

Really lost.

If it was really for me, I would have given him the badge when we met, why didn't I wait until now to mention it before taking it out.

but.

He did not expose it, but accepted the favor, stood up and said goodbye, leaving Urbano's villa.

As for the bucket of blood, Roy paid 2 pounds, and Soze promised to send someone to Rose Flower Street.

Very warm and attentive service.

After he leaves.

Suo Zecai said: "Mu He, you should really control your mouth, otherwise the friendship that the boss has worked so hard to build will be destroyed by you, and we may still die here."

Of course they had heard the rumors about wizards.

Different from the official attack by a cult organization, according to the information they received, several wizards were fighting with another group of people in the south.

It is unclear who the deceased was.

But one thing is for sure -

The participants are all powerful, and there may be extraordinary people with the ability to control corpses.

It can be seen that Roy's strength is far stronger than they imagined. Even if the boss has been promoted, the other party may not be afraid of them.

"I don't know? Mr. Green is not that stingy. How could he care about this little thing? Do you think it's all you?"

Mu Hyuk couldn't help but said, and then sighed, "I'll just pay attention next time."

Suo Ze said quietly: "I shouldn't cooperate with you next time. I have to worry every time I cooperate with you."

……

After returning, Roy took a look at his pocket watch.

It's still early.

With more than an hour left before the "meeting", he entered the church and briefly told Utravsky that he had asked people to put materials here temporarily.

Utravsky readily agreed.

Then, Roy asked about Klein's purpose.

The priest then smiled and said: "He came to me with the master key, hoping to know its origin. Did you sell the thing to him?"

"Yes, that magical item is of little use to me, but to the detectives, its usefulness may be more obvious."

Roy smiled.

The priest nodded.

"He really has a handle on how it gets lost."

"As long as you approve it."

Roy responded with a smile.

Utravsky shook his head: "The things have been given to you. What to do with them is your business. As for him, the Mother Goddess will not reject any lost person who needs help."

"Praise the Mother Goddess!"

Roy symbolically praised and respected the Mother Earth, and then was about to leave, when a noisy sound came from the basement.

He smiled and ignored it.

Emlyn.

Roy had vaguely noticed it last time, but the other party's fate was not on his side, and there was already a pharmacist in the study club...

If there is another vampire, everyone will produce and sell it themselves.

He walked out of the church, then suddenly paused, thinking of a question.

Klein has obtained the extraordinary characteristics of the Secret Puppet Master, so he should be able to set up a trumpet by himself to attend Tarot Club.

Then.

In the future, wouldn’t Klein be able to make money from both sides?
On the contrary, it is myself.

If you want to hide the identity of "No. 2", you won't be able to show too many of Roy's characteristics at the study meeting.

broken!

　Chapter 2 is almost finished and will be sent out in half an hour at most.
