investigator? This word is not very auspicious... Abner vomited, but did not immediately follow the ugly bell ringer into the lighthouse, but thought to himself:

In the original book, Klein accepted the commission of "Fat Pharmacist" Darkwell, and brought him and the "Dice of Probability" to Olavie Island and met Kano the "Bell Ringer".

The identity of this "bell ringer" is also very complicated. He himself is a product of the human body refined by the Mother Earth Church...Well, the relatively failed one, and he doesn't even have the ability to reproduce.

He later defected to the "School of Life" and was arranged to be the "bell ringer" in the bell tower of the Church of San Draco...

In the original book, Klein guessed that the Life School may have some connection with the Storm Church, so Kano would ring the bell here, so that the seriously injured Life School member Richod would hide in the bridge hole near the church.

Looking at his appearance just now, it seemed that he was not surprised by my arrival? So, what is the identity that this "maze tower" arranged for me? People of life school? Hmm... Then it shouldn't be called an investigator... Then, are they from the Storm Church?

At this time, Kano saw that Abner had not followed up, and sneered: "Why, the investigator sent by the Storm Church is so timid? Strictly speaking, this lighthouse is also your site... on your own site. Are you afraid?"

Very good, I know who I am... But, Kano, shouldn't you a defector of the Church of the Mother Goddess be polite in front of me, the favored mother of God?

After slandering a few words, Abner felt that the NPCs in this scene were very smart, and were completely different from the mechanical dull goods he encountered in the Backlund scene on the sixth floor, so he opened the "pure white eyes". Kano observed it carefully.

"It's different from the state of the real ‘spirit’ of the upper emperor, it’s more like a subconscious ‘projection’... It’s very similar to the people in the ‘Clover’ scene encountered on the seventh floor!

"Could it be that this is also something that is happening, or is about to be staged?"

While Abner was making rough judgments based on his own experience and knowledge, Kano said with no expression:

"I am very sensitive to spiritual vision and spells such as the'eye of the secret'."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kano." Abner politely apologized after closing the "White Eye".

Kano nodded, accepting the apology, and then continued: "You can come in with me now, right? Heh, when did the people of the Storm Church become so cautious!"

"One last question..." Abner paused and asked seriously, "Can you tell me today's date and current time."

"Are you drunk too much?" Kano was taken aback, took out his pocket watch and looked at it after murmured, and replied, "Tuesday, October 16, 1349, 12 o'clock noon."

"Sure enough, the incident here may be happening in the real world!" Abner glanced at his pocket watch and found that the error did not exceed one minute.

...

Olawi Island is in the northeast of the Rhodes Islands, and the straight-line distance from Bayam is not too far.

It was originally a primitive island with many extraordinary creatures and no human inhabited. After the hunting era, the Kingdom of Loen used it as a place of exile for certain prisoners, and Olawi Island gradually had villages and towns, but the island Some original areas are still retained on the top.

When the islands further east were found to be colonized one by one, relying on the convenience of the waterway and the abundance of natural resources, many new immigrants have been attracted here, and a relatively prosperous port city has emerged.

Ooh! Ooh! As the whistle sounded, a brand-new steam passenger ship docked at the pier. Soon, dozens of passengers walked off the ship with suitcases.

Among them, one lady is particularly noticeable.

She looks in her twenties. She has simple black hair and distinctive bluish-gray eyes. She wears a men’s shirt and a thick brown jacket dressed as adventurers on the ocean. She looks good-looking. The more you look, the more it tastes.

And to say that she is noticeable is not due to her appearance, but because she took her companions directly onto a carriage with the Levitt family emblem hung, and Governor Olavie’s surname is “Levitt”!

On the carriage, the lady’s companion hesitated for a while, and quietly sealed off the surroundings with spirituality. Seeing that the other party didn’t stop him, he whispered.

"Ms. Dorella, do we have to cooperate with Governor Olavie? In this way, even if we enter the ruins, we won't get too many benefits..."

The lady with blue-gray eyes glanced at him, shook her head and said: "Solo, you must know that Alston's brother is the highest naval commander in the Central Sunia Sea, the'weaver' Amilius Levitt Admiral, that is a true demigod! Without Auston's relationship, we would not be able to approach that ruin at all."

Governor Olavi’s full name is Auston Levitt, and Ms. Doriella called by his first name, which shows that their previous relationship is good, and may even be very close... Only when this relationship exists, we are qualified to participate. This incident... The man named Solo suddenly heard the words, withdrew from the blockade, and stopped speaking.

The carriage quickly stopped at the back door of the Governor's Mansion. As soon as they got out of the car, a middle-aged man with black hair and blue eyes came up. He first embraced Ms. Dorella warmly, and then politely Say hello to Solo, and then they personally introduced the two of them into the governor's mansion.

After Solo arranged to go to another room to rest, Auston took Ms. Dorella's hand and said emotionally, "Laticia, how long have we not seen each other?"

Ms. Laticia Dorella smiled, did not answer the other party's question, nor refused the other party's intimacy.

...

On the fifth floor of "Dream Labyrinth Tower", Abner followed "The Bell Ringer" Kano into a cramped room in the clock tower, where there is only a bed and a cabinet that can be used as a dining table, and the bathroom is on the bottom of the clock tower. ...

Wait, why should I care about where the bathroom is? Abner murmured in his heart, and then saw Kano take out a hand-drawn map from the cabinet, hand it to Abner's hand, and said:

"You know the general situation, I won't repeat it...

"In short, your task is to find and enter that ruin, to understand its origin as much as possible.

"Of course, if there are any treasures in the ruins, they should try their best to bring them back, and they can't make others cheaper."

So this is mission 1 and mission 2? Well, anyhow, it feels "immersive", unlike the upper level, which is completely like a game...

However, I don't know the situation at all now, you have to complete your mission NPC's duties! Thinking of this, Abner imitated Xiu's "dignity" and said blankly: "Please complete your duties and explain it in detail."

Kano was shocked by him, and after secretly muttering a few words, he still replied:

"Since a month ago, accidents have happened frequently in a sea area in the north of the island, and now no one dares to approach...If the governor's mansion had not ordered the news to be blocked, rumors of being cursed by the devil had already spread.

"According to Mr. Qiao Ruide's observation, the'destiny' near that sea area is very chaotic. Once it gets closer, it will sometimes be'lucky' and sometimes'bad luck', quickly leading to different life endings... but most of it has nothing to end...

"The Governor's Mansion organized an exploration, and only a few people returned safely, but their fate has been deflected to varying degrees. I am afraid that we will be in bad luck in the future!

"Admiral Emilius later personally probed and returned without success."

Admiral Amelius? The unlucky demigod who was disguised by Klein as a stand-in for three days, died of his mistress, wounded his subordinates, and his brother was dismissed?

Wasn't it because of this exploration that he was so unlucky afterwards?

But ~lightnovelpub.net~ where the demigods are helpless, is it really possible for me to get in? Is there a problem with this task?

Abner thought so, so he asked.

"You don't need to worry too much. According to the observation of Senator Jorred, it is actually an undersea relic that will appear in the real world. By tomorrow night, a stable passage should appear." Kano said, pointing to the map, above it. Mark the possible locations of the channel.

"In that case... then why does the admiral go again without waiting for the passage to appear?" Abner asked strangely.

Kano gave him a strange look and replied, "Isn't this a tacit understanding between the Governor's Mansion and the Storm Church? At that time, the demigods will not intervene, nor will they send direct line personnel. Instead, they will find'investigators' to do it. Explore, lest you hurt your peace with something."

So, the so-called "investigator" is actually an "agent", right? Well, maybe I don’t know what dangers are in the ruins, and let the "investigators" be cannon fodder to explore the way...
