I have a Synthesizer

#61 - Investigation and departure

Klein didn't mention the mission, and the old soldier seemed to understand his meaning, shaking his head.

"It's only a couple more days, what else can happen? There aren't enough people. Look at Lastas, the young people have mostly left, leaving only us old bones who can barely move."

"Was the battle between you and the Skull Society very intense before?"

"Not only intense, but you could even say it was brutal."

A trace of helplessness and reminiscence flashed in the old soldier's eyes.

"The Skull Society has been wreaking havoc in Lastas for many years..."

The old soldier recounted the history between Lastas and the Skull Society to Klein.

The Skull Society had been entrenched in Lastas City for over 20 years. They already existed when this old soldier had just joined the army.

For so many years, the Skull Society had been sucking Lastas City dry.

They monopolized the economy, plundered women and children, cultivated their power, and were practically untouchable here.

"Fortunately, the Skull Society in Lastas has been eradicated."

Klein echoed.

The old soldier nodded.

"Yes, all thanks to Captain Deward. It was his constant struggle against the Skull Society that gave us hope."

Klein finished the wine in his glass and suddenly said casually.

"Do you know about the Fireblade Cult?"

"I really don't know much about them. They haven't been here long. I heard they're a cult.

Captain Deward also said that if such evil forces are not eradicated in time, they will only become the second Skull Society."

"Thanks, old soldier, good luck," Klein said with a smile.

"You didn't even ask my name. You're a really lousy drinking buddy."

The old soldier didn't continue looking at Klein, but just kept drinking. Klein's intention to inquire about information was obvious.

How could someone like him, who had experienced decades of hardship, not know what was going on?

After leaving the breakfast shop, Klein visited some of Lastas City's civilian areas, vendor stalls, and soldiers' family areas, asking many people.

"The Fireblade Cult? I heard Captain Deward say that if they aren't eliminated, the Fireblade Cult will become a cancer like the Skull Society in the future.

So, they contacted your Royal Academy and requested support from professionals."

"During the great battle against the Skull Society, many righteous people came to help, mostly mercenaries from Lastas."

"Captain Deward is a good man. He had a fiancée, but later, something seemed to happen to her, it seemed to be the Skull Society's doing."

"The Fireblade Cult and the Skull Society are not quite the same. The Skull Society is more like blood-sucking maggots, while the people of the Fireblade Cult are a bunch of lunatics."

… …

This kind of inquiry didn't end until the afternoon, and then he and Lilith returned to the dorm.

Klein took out all of his necromantic particles. Since he was preparing to help Lilith enhance her weapon, he should prepare the basic materials.

"What did you find? Tell me about it."

"Most of it makes sense, but one thing, the Skull Society, which has been entrenched in Lastas for over 20 years, should be very powerful, right? But they were wiped out somewhat inexplicably, that's the biggest problem.

I had previously speculated that Deward was a member of the Skull Society, but after thinking about it, that shouldn't be the case."

"Didn't they say that many mercenaries, righteous people, and returning professionals helped in the battle against the Skull Society? Is there a problem?"

Klein shook his head.

"I always feel like something is wrong, because the Fireblade Cult came out not long after the Skull Society was destroyed. It's too coincidental."

… …

The next morning, the sky was already turning white, but the sun hadn't yet risen. All the academy students gathered at the Security Department entrance.

Although many academy students had made many preparations, after all, it was their first mission, and they were still slightly nervous and excited.

Not long after, Deward, with thirty veterans, arrived at the Security Department on horseback.

"For this operation, I requested horses from Lastas's logistics department, so we can be faster."

"Faster for what? Waiting to be reincarnated!" Klein looked at the horses and felt some resistance.

Deward heard Klein's muttering and glanced at Klein without a word.

Lilith beside him had already casually picked a horse and mounted it.

Klein watched as everyone else had already mounted their horses and was preparing to leave, and suddenly felt embarrassed, lowering his head and saying.

"I can't ride a horse."

Many people looked at Klein strangely. Isn't horsemanship a basic skill in the mercenary course?

Didn't the academy have free horsemanship courses from the start of the semester? What has he been doing for the past few months?

Klein felt somewhat helpless. He had been cultivating for the past few months, and only attended the basic theory classes.

He really hadn't been to the mercenary course, and he really couldn't ride a horse, so he had to admit it.

"I'm sorry, but I really can't ride a horse."

A crowd of academy students started laughing. Klein's performance was not even as good as some newbies in the team.

In Lilith's mind, Klein was already her person, the person she was protecting, how could she let you mock him?

She glared at the people around her, and a cold aura spread out, silencing the people around her.

Then she glared at Klein again, and somewhat helplessly reached out her hand, saying.

"You're so stupid, get on."

Klein took Lilith's hand and sat behind her. This intimate distance made Klein feel somewhat on the verge of a cliff, not lustful, I didn't miswrite, feel it yourself.

And on the horse, he didn't know where to put his hands.

"Put your arms around my waist."

"Oh!"

Klein hugged Lilith's waist, and the green hair brushed against his face, making his whole mind somewhat rippling.

The others looked at Klein hugging Lilith and all showed a "men understand" expression.

"Alright, let's go," Deward saw that the preparations were almost complete, patted the horse's back, and the horse under him seemed to understand his meaning, and started to move forward.

Thirty soldiers and ten academy students followed behind Deward.

"Captain Deward, please tell them more about the specific information of the Fireblade Cult," Hawkins reminded him. He and Deward had already discussed the information of the Fireblade Cult, but some people didn't know.

"The Fireblade Cult's base is in a man-made cave in the east of the city. This information was sent back by our Security Department's undercover informant.

According to his message, the Fireblade Cult recently held a strange ritual.

At least 15 first-tier professionals participated in it, as for whether there are any second-tier ones, I'm not too sure.

Recently, they captured many ordinary civilians and burned them as sacrifices on the altar. Such a cult must be eradicated, otherwise, the future threat will be greater than the Skull Society."

Sitting behind Lilith, Klein suddenly said softly, his voice only audible to him and Lilith.

"15 savages, even if they are formal professionals, they are just a bunch of weak chickens. Didn't he say there weren't enough people? He even has an undercover informant, making it like Infernal Affairs."

"What is Infernal Affairs?"

"It's like you are in me, and I am in you!"

Lilith savored this sentence, and suddenly her face turned red.
