Mystery: Beginning with the Warrior Path

Chapter 49 Fraud
Miss Anne thought for a while: "In the past, the production cost of Extraordinary items of this level was about 300 to 400 pounds. Your giant sword needs to be refined with additional metals, plus other suitable spiritual materials. Use the knowledge you told me to deduct first, and the rest of the money will depend on the size of the negative effects after the production is completed."

Roman thinks it is reasonable, after all, the price of a Extraordinary item is greatly affected by the size of the negative side.

Nodding his head, he agreed to the proposal. Immediately, Roman took out another silver-white tin box from his arms, handed it to Annie, and said, "Just so you can help me find out which sequence this belongs to?"

What Roman took out was the Extraordinary characteristics extracted from the black dog.

Annie took a deep look at Roman, and said, "You know the Extraordinary characteristics? That's right, when the evil spirit said yesterday that the content of the transaction was the Extraordinary characteristic of the 'Law Mage', you didn't doubt what a 'Law Mage' was, There is no doubt about what an 'extraordinary characteristic' is."

Roman didn't answer, but asked, "What is the characteristic of the one you took away?"

Annie didn't continue to ask, she took the tin box that Roman handed over, and said: "Mine is a thief, and yours", Annie said, and handed the box back to Roman: "It's a hunter."

Hunter... No wonder that black dog likes to carry all kinds of things, make traps, and is quite strong.

At that time, the mole turned out to be a thief. He had several valuable things on him at that time, but he didn't attack him.

"By the way, what you said before, what happened to the fraud case?" Roman suddenly remembered something.

"The mole you speak of, once known as 'Steven', was involved in a fraud where he and his associates defrauded a dozen gentlemen of more than three thousand pounds on a cruise ship in Dixie Bay. Cash, and then fled, it was only a coincidence that I discovered that he didn't hide, but swaggered and became a bounty hunter in Backlund." Annie said.

"Even if there are believers of the god of steam and machinery among the deceived people, you won't be chased from Disi Bay to Backlund, right?" Roman could hear the blind spot, "Although 3000 pounds is a lot of money number, but the fraud case should be dealt with by the police, right? Unless..."

"Yes, this case involves Extraordinary people," Annie began to describe the details of the fraud case: "On a cruise ship in Disi Bay, there was a fraudster named Okafors. Claiming to have invented a banknote copying machine, as long as you put a banknote in it, after 6 hours, an identical banknote will be copied."

Roman was taken aback, "Such a clumsy scam?"

Annie also nodded: "That's right, it's such a clumsy scam, and I don't know how this Mr. Okaforth persuaded those gentlemen with his eloquence. After entering the machine, after 10 hours, a brand new 6 pound banknote was reproduced in the machine. Among them, the one who took the lead in trying to put the banknote into the machine was also the one who took the lead in paying for the first machine. It's the dead Steven, the 'Mole'."

It's "Thor"... Roman thought to himself.

Anne continued: "The gentlemen who bought the machine, when they got off the boat and tried again, the machine could still spit out £6 notes for the first 10 hours, but in the second 6 hours, the machine spit out only blank paper. Yes, some gentlemen still had the illusion that the machine was malfunctioning, and after the third 6 hours, the paper was still blank, and then they realized that they had been cheated and called the police.”

"Then the Extraordinary element in it?" Roman asked with some doubts.

"When the police got those machines, they found that they couldn't be opened by conventional methods. Because the gentleman who called the police happened to be a believer in the God of Steam and Mechanics, so he turned to the local "Mechanical Heart" for help. And the members of the Mechanical Heart opened the machine Afterwards, it was discovered that the structure inside was quite exquisite, and it was most likely made by a Beyonder, a Beyonder of the 'General Knowledge' path." Annie said.

Roman nodded, got it, it might even be related to the Extraordinary of the Church of Steam, no wonder he was tracked all the way from Disey County to Backlund.

"What happened afterwards? Did you find anything?" Roman asked.

"No, this Steven is the only result I have traced all the way. He didn't do too much disguise. He was discovered by a Becklund deceiver and reported to the police." Annie sighed, "It's a pity He is already dead, and as for the principal criminal, Okafors, he should have made a disguise at the time, and his name was also fake, so no information can be found at all."

Speaking, Annie took out a portrait and unfolded it to Roman.

The portrait is a middle-aged man with black hair and brown eyes, with a full forehead, wearing square-frame glasses, and a beautiful mustache around his mouth.

I heard Annie say: "This is a portrait drawn based on the descriptions of the deceived, and it may have been disguised. If you have relevant clues, you can report it to the Church of Steam."

Roman took down the appearance of that Okafors, looked at Annie, and asked, "If I want to find you later, what channel should I go through?"

Anne replied: "Jorwood District, No. 42, Leiria Street, there is a mechanical supply store. I am usually there. You can go there to pick up your epee in three days. If you come to me later and I am not here, you can Drop the letter in the mailbox by the door."

"Mechanical supplies store?" Roman asked.

"Yes, my superficial identity is the most famous genius mechanical expert on Leiria Street, who is good at making and repairing various mechanical items."

"Superficial identity? What about actual identity?" Roman asked.

"A real mechanical expert." Annie said with a smile.

Really... It seems that she can become a craftsman at this age, and she should have summed up the acting method by herself.

So, her true identity should be a member of the elite "Mechanical Heart"?Similar to the red gloves in "Nighthawks"?That's why we can track the scammer across regions?

Roman, who had gained a little, nodded, said goodbye to Anne, and planned to rent a house in the Backlund Bridge District for a short term as a safe house. After all, both the West District where the employer is located and his target Queens District are rich and wealthy. The area where the nobles live is too conspicuous, and it is not very convenient to move around.

The bridge area is different, with mixed personnel and chaotic management, and teammates can use the safe house here if they need it.

But yesterday I heard that Mr. Wade's business is going very smoothly. Although the old nobles look down on these new rich men, they are under huge economic pressure. Facing Mr. Wade's money offensive, they seem to be defeated soon. Well, the day when Mr. Wade won the title is not far away, and this commission ended much faster than expected.
