?

Through Francis' confession, Donald learned that his space ring was accidentally taken away by a group of robbers.

Why do you say it was a mistake?

Because these people don't seem to know that it is a space ring, it's just that it happens to be in the drawer of the bedside table and is specially stored, and they are a group of guys who are used to looting.

"Under the current situation, let's put aside prejudice and contradictions for a while. In any case, the goal of our three parties is the same, that is to catch this group of robbers, and then your Excellency will get your things back. Captain Luther can get it from you. They know the source of the weapons, and I can protect the villages and towns around Delchimo from this horrific band of robbers."

As Jacqueline spoke, she picked up the emblem of the Morning Light sect hanging around her neck and kissed it in front of her mouth. As an apostle, doing this action meant that she would be responsible for what she said based on her beliefs. .

As two adjacent religious cities, Luther also knew some of the behaviors of the apostles of the Morning Light Sect. After a little hesitation, he raised the silver hammer on his waist and said, "For Corta, the king of blacksmiths, please Bring hope to us."

This is a religious oath worn by the Craft and Blacksmithing Sect. It is not too solemn, but the current situation does not allow them to go to a church to pray.

"I'm still saying that, I just want to get my things back."

Donald looked at the actions of Jacqueline and Luther, and felt a little embarrassed. He thought that he should think of a move temporarily. After all, they all did it. After thinking about it, I was afraid that my own job would coincide with the behavior of other religions, and it would be troublesome at that time. After thinking about it, I could only say something dryly.

"According to Francis, this group of robbers hid in Corta's sewers in order to avoid the pursuit of the Morning Light Sect, and Corta's sewer network covers almost the entire city. We don't have any accurate positioning methods for the time being. Relying on a carpet-like search..."

"Wait, although I came to Corta for the first time, I also know that the scale of this city is not much different from that of Delchimo. Carpet search? This sewer network extends in all directions. If you count the other party deliberately avoiding us and hiding And the possibility of suddenly escaping back to the ground in the middle, are you going to find it for a few months?"

The so-called carpet search sounds like a firm decision, but in fact, it is only used because there is no other choice, so this action is actually not a solution at all.

Donald naturally couldn't stay here for too long. Although he had plenty of time, it was relatively acceptable. Three or five days were acceptable, but ten days and half a month was not acceptable.

"Do you have a better way?"

Jacqueline didn't show anger because of Donald's interruption. She actually expected to find a better way. She was the knight commander of the Morning Light Sect. She wanted to protect Delchimo, and naturally she didn't want to be in other sects. Staying in the city too long.

"There are some thoughts... Francis, since you participated in the murder last night with them, you should have met with that group of robbers before, you can't deny that."

Doing things can't be done just by being reckless. Sometimes you can get twice the result with half the effort when you find a trick. This is what Donald has long understood. In his opinion, the key to breaking the game now lies in the inner ghost in front of him.

"I did meet them, but before the action, I only contacted one of them, and the others were only met last night... The light was dim, and I could barely remember a few of them. face."

Francis was lying on the ground at this time, the five fingers of his right hand were bloody, and when he heard Donald asking him, he immediately sat up, and said all the answers he knew, for fear that his left hand would be treated the same way.

"I don't need you to tell me what they look like. What I want to ask is when you met those people, did you pay attention to their clothes? Is it dirty? Is there any smell?"

Donald's questions were pretty much the same, but there was something unusual about them.

"This... They do have a strange smell on their bodies, but their clothes are not dirty. I have met the person I met a few times. He covered his face the whole time, and his clothes were different every time."

"Oh? You mean he changed clothes?"

The corners of Donald's mouth curved upwards when he heard that the people who connected with him often changed their clothes.

"I understand, Your Excellency means that they will inevitably have stolen goods on their bodies after staying in the sewers for a long time, so they will come out to buy clothes. If you want to buy clean clothes, naturally you have to go to the clothing store. We can take their pictures to the city. Ask here, and that can narrow down the search."

Luther thought he understood Donald's thoughts, and tried to take control of the situation again.

"If they buy a lot of clothes at one time and change them, as long as they stay in the sewer for a long time, they will experience olfactory fatigue. It doesn't matter if the clothes smell bad, as long as they are clean?"

Donald glanced at Luther, and if it was Jacqueline, he might also consider her feelings and speak more euphemistically. Since it was this person who had just had a conflict, he had no polite thoughts.

"Your Excellency means..."

"food!"

Donald opened his mouth and uttered a noun, then explained,

"Since these robbers are keen to change clean clothes, it proves that they are actually very concerned about their personal hygiene. In this case, it is impossible for them to live on the snakes and rats in the sewers in order to hide their whereabouts. They must eat fresh and clean. Food, clothes can be stored, but not food!"

If they were professional stalkers, as long as they decided to hide somewhere, they would truly hide their whereabouts. If this group of robbers can really do this, Donald may have to go to the sewers to try his luck.

It is obvious that these people do not have this consciousness. They are used to the good life brought by burning, killing and looting. They go to the sewers to endure hardships... It's okay to endure the smell. It's okay to ask them not to take a bath for a few days, but once the clothes on them are caught Moisture in the sewers, causing them to itch all over, is another matter.

Not to mention that Corta is an industrial city, the sewers are full of industrial sewage, and they know how many chemical raw materials are hidden in the bodies of animals living here.

In case of food poisoning, instead of being killed by the apostles of the Morning Light Sect, but poisoned to death by a rat, who should I turn to?

"They are not stupid enough to go to the ground to eat every meal. After all, they have a strong smell, and they often gather in crowds to attract attention, so these robbers will only send one or two members out to buy food at a time."

"They are in the sewers, and most of the self-exit locations are on city streets. In order to prevent them from being discovered, it is naturally impossible for them to return to the ground from the exits of such locations, so the location must be selected in some lanes and most of them are late at night. go out."

"The way to find them is very simple. Captain Luther should be able to get the help of the Corta police station. Just find out how many restaurants in Corta are still open late at night, and ask the store manager if they have seen any People with strange smells pack a lot of food, and then all they have to do is sit there and wait for them to come by themselves!"

In the end, the negotiation undoubtedly became Donald's one-man show, and his quick thinking allowed him to be one step ahead of others in thinking about many things, and he could naturally control the situation.

"I understand. I will immediately contact the police station. If I find anything, I will contact Captain Jacqueline. Please ensure that the communicator in your hand is turned on at any time."

He took out a machine with electrical circuits and mechanical structure from his waist. It was slightly different in appearance from the communicator Donald got in Demingham. This one looked more refined.

"We are waiting for your good news."

Donald didn't have any connections here. Of course, these things had to be left to Captain Luther, and Jacqueline, as the only person with a communicator, stayed by their side.

The craftsman's family arrived at the workshop not long after, and the matter here was naturally handed over to these people, while Donald and his party found a nearby cafe and waited for news.

"Captain Luther was there just now. It's inconvenient for me to ask. Now that he's gone... Can you tell me what happened in this city?"

This city feels very strange to Donald, and this special feeling comes from various things, such as the dream on the first night of his arrival, and the mental state of the people here. A good city, but it gives people A lifeless feeling.

"It's... inconvenient for me to say."

Jacqueline obviously knew something, but she was afraid that her words would cause any bad influence. With hesitation on her face, her fingers rubbed the edge of the coffee cup, letting the heat linger between her fingers.

It's not a good idea to speak ill of others on their turf.

"The craftsman you introduced to me made me lose my space ring. This is not the way to repay my gratitude. If you didn't make a good impression on me, you are still helping me find the ring, otherwise... Of course, I just said it casually, don't take it to heart."

As if mentioning these things inadvertently, Donald was stirring coffee with a silver soup in his hand. The expression on his face did not change, but the three people beside Julia, except Julia, turned their eyes to Jacqueline.

The pressure is generated under the oppression of this invisible sight.

The fact is, Donald agreed to this craftsman's condition only because of Jacqueline's face. As a result, because he said he could not be disturbed for three days, I came to see it today, and there was no one to say, no ring.

Who can Donald find?

Isn't it Jacqueline who is most responsible.

"Okay, I said...Remember when I told you last time that it's best not to go out at night? In fact, a considerable number of people in Corta have been insane in recent months. , Some people say that they have seen houses in the city swaying as if they are alive at night, and some people say that they have witnessed the homeless being dragged into the shadows by black tentacles and then disappearing."

"What about the facts?"

Donald naturally wouldn't believe the remarks of some ordinary people. Since this phenomenon is common, the Craft and Blacksmithing Sect, as the administrator here, must investigate.

"It is said that the reason has not yet been found. On the one hand, there are indeed no clues, and it is impossible to trace the words of those people alone. On the other hand... There have been serious differences between the craftsmanship and the blacksmithing sect. I mean the sect concept. disagreements over the sect rather than within the sectarian branch at Corta,"

"Different sectarian ideas... Since the craftsmanship and blacksmithing sects can become the orthodox sect recognized by the Ryan Empire, they should have existed for a long time, right?"

This is not a joke. The root of a sect’s existence is its teachings. It relies on its teachings to absorb believers, and it also relies on its teachings to inspire believers. It also relies on its teachings to manage the entire sect and formulate future development policies.

In Donald's view, the first condition for a mature sect is that they have a complete set of teachings. It is also impossible for the Ryan Empire to approve a sect with contradictory teachings to manage the religious beliefs of a city. That is to make trouble for itself. .

"You misunderstood. It's not that there is a problem with the teachings, but there are differences in the ideas... Of course, if this difference continues to expand, it is likely to affect the teachings."

Just as she was talking, Jacqueline noticed the indifference on Donald's face, realized that he didn't care about this matter, secretly relieved and changed the subject at the same time,

"Let me focus on it, there is a group of robbers in the two cities of Delchimo and Corta, which is the group we are looking for now. They have a group of extremely special firearms in their hands. The intelligence shows that they are from The weapons that Corta got, the priest's wounds are caused by the kind of firearms, I... Some people suspect that people inside the craft and blacksmithing sect created this kind of weapons, if this is confirmed, to It will be very troublesome at times, and it is precisely because of this matter that Captain Luther is so sensitive."

The sect that was supposed to protect the people made guns for the robbers, so what?

Jacqueline, who almost leaked her mouth, turned her head and patted her mouth in embarrassment, then turned back, and tucked her hair behind her ears as if nothing had happened.

Donald naturally saw this scene, but didn't say much.

He is now using mental power to communicate with several companions.

"If there is no accident later, it should be going to the sewers. There is a high probability that there will be a fight. Anthony and Stephanie, you two should not go down. I need you to stay and protect Julia, and the goods on the carriage. Someone has to watch~lightnovelpub.net~ I'll just go over with Lilo then."

Julia's safety is the first consideration. Donald can still distinguish the priority from the second. The terrain of the sewer is complicated, and there may be some ambush. If there is an accident with Julia down, there will be no regrets.

If it was just him and Liluo, it was really at a critical juncture. Donald would step in the dimension, Liluo would have the power to awaken to the peak when he broke out completely, and with other helpers, there would be no problem if he wanted to run.

"Okay, listen to you."

"I have no opinion, you pay attention to safety."

Anthony and Stephanie had no problem with Donald's instructions.

After the discussion, the next step is to wait for the news from the craftsmanship and blacksmithing sect.

About two hours later, the communicator that Jacqueline had placed on the table rang out with the sound of electricity.
