This puppeteer is not normal

Chapter 157
Every other week.

Otoya Republic, Slovnia.

Slovnia is the largest city in the southwest of the Republic of Otoya, and one of the major economic cities of Otoya. It has a superior geographical location and is an open city with free business.

In the higher court of Slovnia, Cornwall was sorting out the documents at hand with some headaches.

Recently, the surroundings of great Slovnia have not been peaceful.

In an isolated mountain town some distance from Slovnia, an extremely bad monster attack occurred.

This incident exposed Otoya's poor management of remote areas in the territory, and was reported by major media one after another, causing a lot of criticism.

Slovnia, which was in charge of that town, was naturally in turmoil. As far as Cornwall knew, many officials lost their hats under the catalysis of various intentions and unintentional efforts.

Originally, the higher-level courts were the first to bear the brunt of the severe accountability. Fortunately, the Mage Tower took over the matter in time and provided certain guarantees for their higher-level courts, so that the turmoil did not spread to the courts.

Even so, Cornwall has been overwhelmed by recent events, large and small.

While investigating and restoring the full picture of the events in the town, he also had to deal with trivial matters in the court here, running back and forth between the town and Slovnia.

Fortunately, the investigation did not take too much thought, and the people in the town were cooperative, and the people sent by the Mage Tower seemed to be quite experienced in this kind of thing, and they summed up everything in just one week.

However, he still needs to complete a final filing, so that it can be regarded as an explanation to the above about this matter.

Glancing at the drizzle outside the window, Cornwall took a sip of hot coffee.

"Tsk, it's time for a new batch of coffee beans." Confused that the recent interns were not doing well, Cornwall put his hands on the Magic Net virtual keyboard, and typed out the characters...

……

In the year 1301 of the Broken Gold Era, on November 11th, an attack by an unknown monster species broke out in Xigu Town, causing a large number of casualties. According to the evaluation of the Mage Tower, this monster was recorded as [External Lower-level Servant Race Number 28-3] code name [ Son of the Labyrinth].

[Children of the Labyrinth] is a parasitic species, and the larvae need to develop through parasitism. This is not a normal physiological requirement, but to satisfy a necessary behavior in another sense.

After being parasitized by the Son of the Labyrinth, the host's physical actions and consciousness were gradually replaced, and finally died.But those with strong wills can resist and interfere with this process to a certain extent, but the outcome cannot be changed.

The child of the labyrinth named 【Olive】was brought back to Xigu Town in 1283 of the Golden Age, and then reproduced through parasitism, turning the entire Xigu Town into their lair.They have a belief in some kind of mysterious existence, and they have been trying to make their great existence come down these years.

The number of victims in these years has been extremely large, see the attachment for details...

During the event, the Grand Magician certified by the Mage Tower, Mr. Andri Sandchek made great contributions, and the Republic of Otoya will present him with a medal.

A gold nugget mage named "Luto Kak", a friend of Mr. Andri Sandchek, was killed in the valley town, and died because of the parasitism of the children of the labyrinth.

The other two who were active in the incident were two unknown mages, they were carrying a small gray-black familiar, a man and a woman.It is known that the male calls himself "Aaron" and is also a gold nugget mage, characterized by fluent ancient Jin language.The female features are white hair and star eyes, and black nails.

Its strength is extremely powerful. In the early morning of November 11th, an earthquake occurred in the Moranton Valley, followed by violent fluctuations in magic power, creating a huge pothole, which was suspected to be made by two people. It is conservatively estimated to be above the Grand Magister.

The two unnamed mages left that morning without trace.

The mayor of the Valley Town, Stoffis Azayelfele, was deceived by the Son of the Labyrinth [Oliver] and became his puppet. He disappeared on the night of the incident and was suspected to have died in the turmoil in the Moranton Valley.

The head of the town militia, Tolan Yasan, was parasitized by the son of the labyrinth, killed a large number of members of the militia that night, and then died at the hands of his son Berg Yasan.

On the night of the incident, Bavi Tus received the help of the mage Aron, blessed with a high-level lightness technique, traveled across the mountains and rushed to the Slovnian Higher Court to report the incident, accompanied by Andri Sandcek's statement Correspondence between Badge and his parents provided strong support for follow-up investigations.

"Rando", a fraudster from the empire with the pseudonym Randolph, has been pretending to be a judge in Xigu Town for many years. He was helped by the mayor, Stoffis, to become an accomplice of the monster. He fled Xigu Town on the night of the incident, and his whereabouts are currently unknown.

The Mage Tower and the Tribunal found a huge labyrinth dug by the Sons of the Labyrinth below the Morandon Valley, but the main place for the sacrifice and summoning ceremony has never been found, and the search is still in progress.

The use of prohibited bioreactor technology was confirmed in the magic workshop in the center of Xigu Town, and the existence of a highly magical bioreactor was confirmed, but the whereabouts are unknown, and the search is still ongoing.

The incident involved the old aristocrat of the Otoya Republic, the only remaining descendant of the Duo family, Yatogri Duo.His older sister, May Duo, disappeared with her escort while passing through Morandon's Vale in 1295, and was confirmed dead at the hands of the Sons of the Labyrinth.The specific cause of Yatogli's death is still under investigation. Unfortunately, the blood of the Duo family has been completely severed.

Over the years, the weird nursery rhymes that have been circulating in the town are believed to be rumors fabricated by some parasites in order to protect the children. It is mixed with partial descriptions of the children of the labyrinth, and there are exaggerated elements.

Due to the incompleteness of the root of the blood and the life form, it is confirmed that due to the death of [Oliver], all the children of the labyrinth were cut off to death.

Although there are still bits and pieces of trivia that have not been clarified, the incident in Xigu Town has undoubtedly come to an end, and although it is not happy, it has an ending that is enough to make people feel at ease.

……

Cornwall's hand typing on the keyboard slowly stopped, and he picked up the coffee again and took a sip.

The content above has been condensed to a certain extent, because the big shots above will certainly not read it very carefully. For them, a thousand words are nothing compared to a slightly polished ending paragraph "Successful conclusion".

Recalling what he saw and heard when he visited Xigu Town a few days ago, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Although his work history can be considered long, such things are indeed rare.With so much love and hatred entangled together, how can a simple report explain it clearly.

Can the good intentions of human beings really be exchanged for the happiness they deserve in this world?

Thinking of the Mage Tower representative investigator who accompanied him in the valley town, and some corners he told, Cornwall couldn't help but feel dizzy.

But soon, he drove away all these unnecessary burdens from his mind.

He is just a breaker, and thinking about so much and nothing can change anything.

Or do your duty well, at least bring yourself a little bit of happiness.

dong dong——

The door was knocked.

"Please come in."

The door was pushed open in response, and the person who walked in was wearing a white light mage robe with private modifications, with a distinctive conspicuous white curly hair, and a smile with a hint of laziness on his face, he was a person with a gentle impression. man.

"Excuse me, Cornwall." The man said, his voice soft and magnetic.

"Merlin? Why are you here?" Cornwall was a little surprised.

Merlin was the representative investigator of the Mage Tower who visited with him.

"Oh, it's not good for Mr. Cornwall to be so forgetful. Even though things are very busy at the Mage Tower, I was forced to submit a report, so I asked you to write a report and make a copy for me when we parted last time. .Looking at the time, I think it's almost time, so I'm sorry to take the liberty to visit." Merlin kept his eyes closed, and the soft smile seemed to never leave his face.

"Oh! Yes, look at my memory. There have been a lot of things recently, and I almost forgot." Cornwall patted himself on the head and quickly stood up to welcome.

After a few pleasantries, Cornish went to make coffee for Merlin.

Merlin, on the other hand, came to the magic net screen and browsed the words Cornwall had typed before.

His eyes stayed on the name "Aaron", and Merlin's smile deepened: "Welcome back, our king."

……

"Are you leaving, Andri?" Sandy asked, looking at Andri who had packed his bags.

Andri ate the barbecue, swallowed it and said, "Yeah, too many things have happened, I've stayed in this town for too long, it's time to go to the next stop."

"Your journey seems to have no end." Sandy commented.

"Where, the journey always has an end."

Just like Luto's end point is here, Andri secretly added in his heart.

"Then let's hope your end is far off," Sandy quipped.

While joking, Andri looked around, wondering, "What about Bavi? I feel like I haven't seen him any time recently."

"That bastard, now I don't have to pay back the debt, so I just took up the burden and quit, saying that I want to go to the outside world to see, alas, I have to find someone new again." Sandy grumbled, but in his tone There is no resentment, it is better to say that she is quite satisfied with Bavi's choice.

"Haha, someone started a new journey again." Andri couldn't help laughing.

At this time, the doorbell rang, and a man walked into the bar.

"Sandy, it's the same as usual." It was Berg who came, and he was now wearing a more refined armor with a thick straight sword pinned to his waist.

"Our new leader is full of vigor." Sandy whistled and joked, and skillfully handed over a glass of wine
"Sister Sandy, don't tease me. It's too uncomfortable to keep a straight face in front of the team members." Taking the glass, Berg drank it down.

At this time, he also looked at Andri next to him: "Finally ready to leave?"

"It seems that you have been waiting for this day for a long time." Andri smiled.

"A few days ago, I saw you looking devastated, but now you seem to be recovering well, come on." Berg patted Andri on the shoulder, turned and left gracefully.

Looking at his back, Sandy couldn't help saying, "I feel like I've grown up a lot."

"This is growth." Andri sighed, and then stood up from his seat, "Then I should go too."

"Bon Voyage."

Carrying a light bag on his back, Andre walked slowly in Xigu Town. When he passed Carlo Street, he couldn't help but stop.

"Sorry I didn't help you."

At this time, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

Andri turned around in surprise, and saw Aaron who was a few steps away from him. At this time, Aaron was alone.

"Aaron? I thought you had..."

"Already gone far away?" Aaron continued.

"Yes, it can be seen that you are very unwilling to accept interrogation from the country and the Mage Tower." Andrew nodded, then paused, and then said, "This has nothing to do with you. At first, you just brought me a road."

"But I came to you on my own initiative at first." Aaron continued, "I needed your information and knowledge, but I couldn't handle your affairs well."

Andri shook his head and just repeated: "It really doesn't matter."

After a long silence, Aaron said, "I can resurrect him for you."

Andri cast a surprised gaze.

"It's not difficult for me. There are even many plans, and there is no price to pay." Aaron said lightly.

Andri fell silent.

He is thinking, hesitating.

Aaron waited quietly.

"That's all." In the end, Andri let out a foul breath and sighed.

"Why? I said that there is no price, no worries, and it is the same as before." Aaron was not surprised, but still asked.

"He went very peacefully, even though he was disembowelled." Andri said in a deep voice.

"I had a long conversation with his soul, and in just one hour at dawn, we really intertwined the experiences of these years, and the emotions merged. I think our friendship is complete."

It's done, not over, not a continuation, but complete.

Forever stagnant, neither forward nor backward, in Andri's heart, this friendship has reached an extreme, and will be kept in his heart forever.

"Strange concept, but understandable, is this the miracle of soul arcane?" A golden light flashed in Aaron's eyes.

In his line of sight, Andri's body was covered with another layer of blurry phantom, which seemed to be erratic, but was very firm and never left.

"Yes. So, thank you for your kindness." After Andri finished speaking, he felt a lot more relaxed and smiled.

Aaron nodded slightly, and then said: "Say, that glass bird is my messenger, remember to keep in touch."

Andri froze for a moment, and at this moment, the figure in front of him disappeared.

He quickly took out the glass bird from his arms, stared at it for a moment, then chuckled lightly, and put it away.

Well, keep in touch.

Saying this from the bottom of his heart, Andre left Carlo Street, and then stepped out of the town to continue his new journey.

……

"Let's go." Somewhere outside the town, Aaron said after appearing.

"It seems that the fool didn't agree." Xing Liuli said while feeding the armless Yuemu to eat hot sauce with a children's spoon.

"Yes." Aaron shrugged.

"You're not surprised at all?" Xing Liuli was a little surprised.

"It's not the first time that I've put forward conditions for the person I admire to fulfill all his wishes, including resurrecting the dead." Aron said, "Whether it's because I can't surpass my own ethics or emotional sustenance, human beings Their feelings are very strange, their sensibility is very rational, but rationality also has sensibility." Aaron didn't mean to explain when he said contradictory words.

"Woo~." Moon Tomb yelled at Aaron, because its hands were gone, so it could only swing a pair of short legs at Aaron.

Aaron picked it up as he wished.

"Then let's go to the next stop, Estella, is your perception confirmed?" Aaron said.

"That's right, the moment I was pulled to the seal of this world, I felt an ancient and fiery power not far from the west, and there might also be a sleeping existence of the same type." On Xing Liuli's shoulder, Este Ramen said expressionlessly.

"Okay, let's go then."

　An event that is neither long nor short is over, the ending of two chapters and [-] words (I didn’t touch fish, I really have a conscience

　　It is very troublesome to change the plot of the module. On the one hand, polishing is one aspect. Aaron’s supermodel positioning is destined to be violently skipped in some links. If I unfold it in detail from the perspective of another mortal, I am not very confident that I can write a long one. It will be more procrastinating.

　　The overall function is to pave the way for the main tone of the alien story, travel, deal with various things, encounters, spawn monsters, collect materials to feed back the puppet production, and gradually uncover Aaron, Moon Tomb, Xing Liuli and future friends Once upon a time.

　　The regrettable thing about this plot is that the line between Andri and Luto was not handled well, and I couldn't elaborate more to pave the way. In the end, it ended hastily, and I felt a little sorry for Andri qwq.

　　Although it feels a lot of tragedy, the tone is still positive!
　　After a short transition, it’s time to return to Earth. After the boredom is over, go back to live a more relaxed life, and the appearance of the third little partner is also on the agenda.
