The super lord of the island

Chapter 402 Chapter 401. Meet with Zhai Ke and donate military salary
Coming to see Zhai Ke this time was naturally not as simple as just a chance encounter.

"Don't be too happy, Lord Zhilke. The removal of the Soul Palace stronghold does not mean that Kumu Island can sit back and relax. I heard that many vicious cases have occurred in major towns recently. Is there such a thing?"

"Indeed, these cases are too complex and bizarre to be solved by local security forces. It would be great if you could take action."

"Of course, in my code of conduct, there is no such thing as giving up halfway. I would also like to ask the City Lord to collect all case files, including the clues and suspects that have been collected. The more detailed the better."

"Yes, I will arrange it now."

As Zhilke left, the hall became quiet, and Jialan looked at Ma En with a questioning look.

"Do you think there is something wrong with Zhaike?"

"Judging from his reaction just now, there should be no problem. He is one of the few ordinary people in the Amethyst family who can serve as the chief executive based on his business ability.

Compared with his strengths, his shortcomings are also very prominent. When faced with the problems brought by extraordinary beings, Zhai Ke is unable to solve them, so his attitude towards you seems a little more solicitous. "

"Ah."

Jialan nodded, feeling that Ma En's analysis made sense.

Without waiting too long, a large number of employees came in quickly outside the door, carrying stacks of heavy animal skin rolls, and some of them could still see the white ash on them.

"Lord Guardian, these are all the unsolved extraordinary cases that have occurred since last year up to now. I am not afraid of your ridicule. The officials in charge of various towns below are all corrupt and have done nothing.

It's a pity that my strength is meager and my foundation is unstable. I have no way to deal with them. I can only watch the residents of Kuzumu Island live in dire straits. "

While Zhai Ke spoke sincerely, he ordered his men to bring in a box and place it in front of Jialan.

"The guard envoy is concerned about the safety of the residents of Kuzuki Island. I have nothing to repay, so I hope you will not refuse."

squeak~

Zhai Ke raised his hand to open the box, and the bright golden light dazzled Jialan's eyes.

"Wait! What is this for?"

"I understand that the Commander-in-Chief was ordered to guard Kuzukijima this time. The family did not allocate military funds. This is the military expenditure that I raised specifically for the Commander-in-Chief. Although it is not much, it will not make your work in vain. , even if the family knows about it, you deserve this money in an upright manner."

"Is this...appropriate...?"

Jialan turned to look at Ma En, who was standing beside her, and Ma En nodded calmly.

"Well, it's rare for the city lord to be so kind. I would like to say thank you on behalf of the soldiers of the Morning Light Corps under his command."

"Where is it! The commander is serious."

"By the way, it would be best to replace this box of gold shells with magic shells. Holding the whole box is too eye-catching."

"no problem!"

There are [-] gold shells in this box. After being exchanged for magic shells, there are [-] magic shells. Along with the magic shells, there is also a list of personnel handed over to Jialan.

Jialan didn't understand what Zhilke meant until she read it.

At this time, Adjutant Ma En immediately explained.

"Lord Commander, you don't know something. According to the secret rules, this military resource should be jointly raised and contributed by some famous wealthy businessmen on Kuzumu Island."

"Why donate?"

"Because you are the special guardian of the family and have the highest law enforcement power. You can arrest and kill people without evidence, not to mention those people whose hands are usually not very clean, so they took the initiative to offer part of their family property to ask you to open your eyes. Close one eye.

There are also wealthy businessmen who run their businesses normally, but they are worried about getting into trouble. Based on the principle of doing more than doing less, most of them will pay.As for paying more and paying less, it is clearly written on the list, and each company depends on its own situation. "

"I see."

Jia Lan came to her senses. After all, thirty thousand gold coins was not a small amount of money. To be able to form such a tacit understanding, it seemed that this kind of thing had happened before. Everyone had experience.

After thinking about it, Jialan decided to accept the money and will talk about the rest later.

For the next afternoon, Jialan and Ma En were reading and analyzing the cases. They did not leave the city lord's mansion until they had read all the files.

……

……

"Sir, do you want to send someone to follow you?"

"No need."

Zilke shook his head.

"Baron Garan is not an ordinary person. Following him doesn't mean that we clearly tell him that we don't trust him."

"What shall we do then?"

"There is no need to do anything. We have tried our best to do what we should do. Whether Kumu Island can turn the crisis into safety depends on Baron Garan's choice."

Mulun Town Campground

After dinner, Jialan casually charged the three hundred magic shells donated by Zhai Ke into the system, and then called Ma En over to analyze the case files they watched during the day.

Because there were too many, he brought all the files back before leaving. Now he selected some of the particularly serious murder cases that resembled those committed by supernatural beings and prepared to solve them starting from them.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates believe that the eighteen consecutive cases of missing porters in Gallenport Town are very typical, and the last worker disappeared last week. I conclude that the murderer must still be dormant in the port."

"Well, there's this, which also happened in Gallenport Town. All six members of a family were turned into mummies and hung upside down from the rafters in the house. This hanging method can drain the last drop of blood from the human body, but there was no trace of blood at the scene.

Because of these two cases, the residents of Gallengang Town were panicked, which often led to port shutdowns and freight stagnation, seriously affecting the functioning of society. "

"You mean these two cases were committed by the same vampire?"

"It's hard to say. My hunch tells me that there must be more than one vampire."

Jialan has fought against vampires before.

Such extraordinary creatures are often first recruited from high-level vampires. They can grow by sucking the blood of their own race. If there is a sufficient supply of fresh blood, their strength will increase very quickly.

This is why they are called vampires, which is a derogatory term.

In fact, vampires are divided into different stages according to their strength.

Level 1~4 Blood Servants: After the first embrace, Level [-] is the starting point for their growth. During this period, they have many weaknesses, such as photophobia, bloodthirsty, and occasionally uncontrollable madness, and their sanity is easily affected by blood.

Level 5-10 Vampires: After reaching this stage, some abnormal changes will occur in the body. Basic attributes such as strength, physique, and agility will be fully enhanced. The pupils will gradually turn red, and the skin will become pale. They are no longer afraid of light, but are very afraid of light. Elemental damage, compared to blood servants, they are more rational and do not have any mental problems.

If you can cross the level and reach level 11, you will become a true vampire, awaken the ancient blood magic inheritance, and continuously improve your strength through practicing magic.
