Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 64 Find out the map first, and then find a way to kill him

"there's one more thing."

Alger said in a deep voice, "I have received information that 'Vice Admiral Hurricane' Qilingus, one of the seven pirate generals, has secretly gone ashore and infiltrated Backlund. I don't know what he wants to do. So I hope you can help Investigate his whereabouts, of course..."

Alger paused, and looked at Ember hesitantly, "It would be best if you have the ability to contact him and investigate his purpose clearly, but if you don't have enough strength, it's best not to contact him rashly."

Miss Justice casts her gaze on Ember.

Obviously, the first half of the sentence was addressed to them, but the second half was addressed to Ember.

After all, Miss Justice, who has just been an audience member for a month, obviously doesn't have enough strength to complete these tasks.

"Chillingus."

Ember pondered for two seconds and asked, "What sequence is he?"

"Sequence 6 'Wind Blessed One' of the sailor path."

Alger seemed to have expected him to ask this question, and immediately said, "Although Qilingus is only a Sequence 6, he possesses a very powerful magical item. Those who know it call it Creeping Hunger."

"As a side effect of using this magical item, Chillingus must satisfy it with the soul and flesh of a living person every other day, or it will take its own master instead."

"But at the same time, Qilingus possesses other more powerful abilities by virtue of this magical item. He can enter other people's dreams, he can summon light to purify the dead, he can use singing to strengthen himself, and he can become the dream of different people. Looks can do almost anything."

Alger described the abilities of the magical item in considerable detail, then paused and said, "We suspect that these are all brought about by the magical item Creeping Hunger."

Alger stared at Ember intently.

Because he knew very well that among the people present, only Ember was the one who had the most hope of helping him investigate this matter.

Mr. Fool, he can't please, and Miss Justice is obviously a noble lady, and she just became a Extraordinary less than two months ago.

It is probably impossible to count on her.

As for the 'sun' that doesn't even know where it came from, it's even less helpful.

"shepherd?"

Alger thought he couldn't help, and Derrick the Sun, who listened quietly because he also felt that he couldn't help, blurted out in astonishment.

"shepherd?"

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on the 'sun', and this also made Derrick a little flustered, he stammered to explain that Alger explained that the wriggling hunger and the Sequence 5 'Shepherd' of the 'Secret Prayer' pathway have a great ability similar to.

"I see."

Alger showed a clear look, and he said that he seemed to have heard this name somewhere.

Afterwards, he turned his slightly expectant eyes to Ember.

"can."

Ember thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, "I'm quite interested in that magical item."

"I can provide his portrait."

Alger breathed a sigh of relief, and then said immediately.

Although he also knew that the portraits he provided were probably useless.

After all, since Qilingus can change his appearance, he will naturally not use his original appearance.

But something is better than nothing.

finally.

With the sound of Mister Fool tapping on the table lightly, the Tarot session came to a successful conclusion.

……

Backlund, Queens District, inside the luxurious villa of the Hall family.

In Audrey's boudoir near the end of the corridor on the second floor, a man and a woman opened their eyes almost simultaneously.

"Is there anything you want to ask?"

Ember changed her posture so that she could lean on the sofa more comfortably, looked at the girl who was casting complicated eyes on the bed, and said proactively.

When above the gray mist, Ember could see that Audrey was hesitant to speak, but she obviously didn't want to discuss this in front of other people.

"I……"

Audrey hesitated for a long time, her red lips parted slightly, and she whispered, "Carpin, is he really related to the royal family?"

"Yes."

Ember nodded lightly, "It is MI[-] who handed over to Capin, but who is behind MI[-], I think you should be very clear."

Audrey fell silent.

Everyone knows that MI[-] is ​​the royal family's secret intelligence agency.

Without the approval of the royal family, how dare they cooperate with a human trafficker with great fanfare?
This is the obvious thing.

Although Ember's words were understated, they undoubtedly shattered the image of the royal family in the girl's heart.

just.

What she is most worried about now is not the royal family, after all, it is too far away.

What she is worried about is the nobles...

"Nobles should not be involved."

Ember saw the girl's worry, and took the initiative to say, "The relationship between the royal family and the nobles is far less intimate than you imagined, and judging from the information I have now. Even within the royal family, this matter is absolute. Confidential, only a very small number of people know the inside story, but Earl Hall is obviously not among them."

"Is that so?"

Audrey couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Although she didn't know how Ember analyzed this, she still chose to believe Ember.

And as long as her father is not involved, then this matter has nothing to do with her.

"Do you need my help with the investigation?"

Audrey sat on the edge of the bed, regained her composure as an 'audience', and asked.

"unnecessary."

Ember shook her head slightly, then said after a pause, "However, you can try to help me find out the topographical map of the palace. Well, it would be best to find out exactly which bedroom the king lives in."

For embers.

It would be great if the true body of the 'Dark Emperor' can be found out step by step.

But everything has to be prepared.

It is also necessary to familiarize yourself with the terrain of the palace in advance.

"if it is like this."

Audrey blinked, "Would you like to visit the palace yourself?"

"Ok?"

Ember slightly raised her eyebrows, and looked at Audrey with some surprise.

"New Year's party."

Audrey explained. Seeing that the embers were still unclear, she said helplessly, "After the age of 18, aristocratic women can formally enter social occasions under the leadership of the queen and declare themselves of adulthood. And this is usually on the last day of the year. According to the convention, the New Year's party has always been held in the palace."

"so……"

Audrey paused, a sly look flashed in her eyes, "If you want, I can also invite you to the New Year's party."

"That's it."

Ember rubbed her chin, and said thoughtfully, "Then I probably don't need your invitation."

"Ok?"

"Although I'm just a fallen nobleman on the frontier, I'm also a Viscount. I still have the qualifications to participate in the New Year's party, right?"

Facing the girl's questioning eyes, Ember shrugged and said casually.

So ever.

In the two hours before dinner, Audrey had been acting angry and not giving him a good face.
