Demon Sage

v2 Chapter 97: gradually built trust

"Donald, the package sent to you by the Discord Bureau should be the one you applied for two days ago. The person who sent it said that some of the merit points have been deducted."

Stephanie walked into the study with a small grey package in her hand.

"Thank you, you've worked hard."

Putting down the Demingham Daily in his hand, he rubbed the acupuncture points on the inside of his eye sockets with his fingers to relieve fatigue.

Taking the package over, Stephanie saw that there were other newspapers on the table, most of which were reports on Mathil's disappearance.

In fact, most of these newspapers were repetitive reports, but Donald read each of them in detail, just to collect some indistinguishable information, and even the progress of making the inscriptions was much slower.

His heart couldn't calm down.

"Can I see what it is?"

Without leaving directly, Stephanie's intuition told her that Donald had something on his mind.

"Of course, it's just a special plant."

After returning from the small town of Redcliffe, Donald told Susannah that he wanted to apply for resources from the Alien Bureau due to Horn Shelley's serious injury.

Of course, these resources are not free, but need to be exchanged with personal achievements. Fortunately, Donald's wolfhound scroll during this period has earned him a lot of points, which can't be said much, but it has exceeded most of the newcomers in the same period. .

Inside the package is a long box and a piece of paper.

Open the box first, and there is an air-dried lavender flower - purple silk petal flower.

The talent potion for energy shaping and the self-colored silk-petal flowers obtained now, there are four more, these four are not available in the warehouse of the Arboretum, and now it seems that there is no way to provide them in the heterodox bureau.

Turning over the page next to the box, there is information about the Fire Scale Fish and the Mixed Fruits provided by the Bureau of Discord.

"Overseas Islands..."

That's right, although the Fire Scale Fish and the Mixed Fruit Anomaly Bureau did not have them, the intelligence mentioned that someone had discovered these two things on the overseas islands.

He took out his notes and recorded the island where these two things were located. When the matter at hand was over, he had to start preparing to go to sea.

"What you want is on an island outside Oswi, are you planning to go to sea?"

Stephanie heard Donald's muttering to herself, sitting at the desk with her arms folded and her chin resting, looking up at Donald who didn't take much care of her and asked.

"Well, if what I want is indeed on an overseas island, then going to sea should be inevitable. I hope these two islands are not unpopular islands, otherwise I can't form a fleet myself."

Putting the purple silk petals on the edge of the desk, going to sea is not something Donald can control.

Almost every time the Alien Bureau goes out to sea, it cooperates with the government. It is estimated that even a group of aliens can't even drive the ship.

Because of this, which island to go to and when to go are basically decided by the government.

Donald could only apply to the Anomaly Bureau first, and then he could follow the boats going to these two islands.

"Donald... have you encountered any trouble recently?"

Xu Shi felt that the topic was almost over, Stephanie straightened up and pointed to the newspaper on the table.

"It's a little troublesome, but not because of myself, but because of a friend of mine."

The several coincidences he encountered before made Donald understand that this kidnapping case was not simple, and the occurrence of several coincidences deepened this perception.

"If you need help, I'm free at any time. I don't have anything to do during this time. It's a bad feeling..."

Stephanie's talent seems simple, but it can be directly strengthened through practice. Charm is neither a fighting skill nor a spellcasting skill. It has no fixed training method. opportunity to progress.

This made Stephanie only watch from the sidelines while everyone else in the team was doing their daily practice and making progress.

"You can try to exude your charm, find a pub, set yourself a goal, confuse a couple of guys in a few minutes or something, as for me...you don't want to be involved , which involved a lot of trouble, even I can't figure it out now."

It is true that Donald helped Stephanie in Redcliffe Town, and now she is also very convinced of Donald to some extent, but this does not mean that she has become Donald's subordinate.

This matter is really sensitive at the moment. Now the Tate family has already made every effort to find Mathil Tate. Almost all the newspapers on the table now have a frontal photo of Mathil Tate. It is a reward for finding someone. The amount reached 200 pounds.

Even for the heretics, this is not a small sum.

The Discord Bureau teamed up with the police station to search the city. Once the kidnappers were found, they were allowed to shoot them on the spot. Not only were they innocent, but they could get a high bounty from the Tate family.

In such a big environment, even Donald has to be careful. Once he gets involved, his identity as an investigator of the Bureau of Investigation may be useful at other times, but in this case, it is estimated that it is not much different from his identity as a civilian.

"Donald, you don't believe me?"

Stephanie thought that Donald refused to help her because she didn't trust herself, which made her feel a sense of frustration and flushed, and then said,

"You saved my life and helped me through the difficulties in the first mission, Donald... You should trust me, no matter what it is, I will help you."

No matter what Donald thinks, Stephanie really regards him as her companion now. She thinks that she should be the one with the best relationship with Donald in the Rose Squad, and such estrangement will undoubtedly make people uncomfortable.

Even if Donald was actually doing it for her.

"Stephanie, you..."

Donald hesitated. There were two reasons why he didn't want Stephanie involved.

On the one hand, Stephanie has no reason to take such a risk. This matter itself has nothing to do with her, but the risk involved is enormous. Once involved, even if it is not the key person in it, it may be different. The Bureau of Investigation is included in a special list, which is a great hindrance to subsequent promotions.

On the other hand, Protein said that Donald still does not fully trust Stephanie, and he is worried that the news will be leaked. He is also a member of the Discord Bureau. If she has other thoughts, Donald will take the initiative to send her to the door. Not only is he in danger, but he may also be in danger. Affects Anthony's actions.

"I'm still saying that, if you need any help, please tell me. When I joined the team, I said that I am very capable in intelligence gathering. I position myself as an intelligence collector, because of my talent. The reason is that I can't fight, and I don't have much auxiliary ability... But I also have my advantages, if you simply want to know some information, Donald, even you may not be faster than me!"

Stephanie put her hands on her lap, first glanced at the newspaper on the table while speaking, and then stared straight into Donald's eyes without flinching. This moment was compared to the terrified Stephane in Redcliffe Town. Ni, saw another her in Donald.

In fact, Donald did admit this. It was like the first intelligence gathering they had just arrived in the town of Redcliffe. What Donald and Burns collected were all trivial information, but Stephanie asked Redcliffe directly. The disappearance of the town two years ago.

Some people would say that it was based on charm, but why did the three people ask, only Stephanie found the retired sheriff, and keenly noticed his emotional changes, and then obtained information by relying on her talent?

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Donald looked at Stephanie, the elbow of his right hand rested on the handle of the chair, and the palm of his hand rubbed the stubble on his chin.

"Stephanie, can you find a way to find out if Kepper has participated in a private party recently?"

After a long silence, Donald finally chose to let go and let Stephanie participate.

Donald has never been a conceited person. He clearly knows that no one is omnipotent and omnipotent, not even God.

Even if the major denominations believe that the existence they believe in is omnipotent and omnipotent...

If you want to survive better in this world, before your ability is strong enough to run wild, your companions are indispensable.

"Kepel Leonard? That cop we met before...hey~"

Stephanie wrote down his name in her notebook~lightnovelpub.net~ and wrote, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, she knew she got what she wanted.

Donald looked at her and wondered if he was doing the right thing.

Do you want to do nothing?

Anthony Hopkins, is this man worth his time?

Donald occasionally has such thoughts, why should he keep checking these newspapers here and let him fend for himself?

The loneliness of being alone in this world and the intrigues when he was in Preston made Donald think more about interests when interacting with people, just like everyone in the Rose Squad now.

That's how people are, the more they lack, the more precious they are.

Because Donald believes that he has few friends who can trust his back, so when he learns that Anthony may be in trouble, he can't help but pay attention.

As for why you want to step in, even if you don't know the other party's plan at all.

Donald attributed it to a strange premonition, an intuition he had come from dealing with Anthony some time ago.

Donald has some understanding of Anthony's character. This man is very rigorous and patient. With such a character, it stands to reason that Donald should not worry about him.

However, when Donald thinks about the discussion about revenge between the two of them and Anthony, and the drunken wine he had before leaving Demingham for the small town of Redcliffe.

Thinking about it now, Donald felt decisive.

If you don't do something by yourself, it is very likely that this friend you have made with great difficulty will leave you.
