It is impossible for the girl to find the evil god in the textbook

"Good morning, Miss Pharmacist...you don't seem very energetic."

Melanie greeted briskly.

"I had insomnia yesterday, you know, Paris is too chaotic recently."

Ella took a suitcase and sat down next to her.It was still very early, no one was performing on the stage, and there were only the two of them in the auditorium.

Melanie took out a small black wooden box, and the inner silk lining contained two magical blue crystals.The price of each of them is about one thousand francs, and the two high-purity magic crystals are exactly half of the agreed commission.

This kind of thing is not common in unofficial careful wizard gatherings. People who use it as currency more or less have a certain official background. Melanie took out these two crystals, and the meaning she wanted to express is a bit intriguing .

Ella had already guessed the relationship between the other party and the executor, but she still showed just the right surprise.

"These are two high-purity magic crystals, and they must have many uses for you, Miss Pharmacist."

To be honest, Ella doesn't really need magic crystals. The Eye of Hermes can replace the magic crystals and supply a lot of magic power.But she could completely sell the crystal to Dmitri, even at a premium.

"...you are related to the Executor."

Ella took a deep breath, the reaction caught in Melanie's peripheral vision.She deliberately remained silent for a few seconds, taking this as the necessary time for the other party to digest the information.

"Yes, I am indeed their informant. I have observed at the party for a while, you should not have prejudices against the executor like other people, and besides, you were introduced by the old man, and that person himself is also related to The executors have a partnership."

Ella nodded.

"Go on."

"This is also a good opportunity for you. It is becoming more and more difficult for unofficial wizards to survive in this city. If you find any clues, your name will appear on the online list... .It can get you a lot of benefits."

"Detective" Melanie Rafaeli has a total showdown.

But Ella didn't plan to agree directly. On the one hand, this is more in line with the setting of the unofficial wizard "pharmacist", on the other hand, she can also try to use this to get more information.

She frowned and asked:

"There are so many executors in Paris recently, you can let them protect you, right? Why hire another bodyguard."

"Paris is too big, even we will fall into the problem of insufficient manpower, and we intend to recruit more informants in the near future."

Melanie spread her hands.

"Well, if I agree to you, it means that I have joined you, right? Then what benefits can I get?"

Melanie thought for a while, without much hesitation, and said:

"It's not fully joined, you can only be regarded as my exclusive informant, of course, if you can show sufficient ability and gain trust, you will have the opportunity to become the executor of the outside editor. Not only that, our supply channels are also It can be opened to you, the price of magic materials here is at least [-]% lower than that of the party."

"In fact, joining us does not mean that you are subject to much restriction. As long as you do not exceed the boundaries, you will even get greater freedom. At least, you no longer need to worry about executors breaking into your alchemy workshop. You were not The kind of dark wizard who studies dangerous magic?"

Hearing this, Ella's fingers unconsciously clasped the armrest.In Melanie's view, this should be a small gesture that the other party cannot hide after being tempted.

Ella carefully tasted the hidden meaning in the other's words.At the last meeting, she had reported to Melanie the pseudonym "Vale Farmine."During these three days, the executor will undoubtedly conduct a detailed investigation of this name.

But the meaning of the other party's words, the name should be no problem, at least she is not a dangerous dark wizard.The executor's investigation channel is different from that of Fittili, but even so, Val Farmini still has no problems.

This means that the faction that Farminie belongs to is outside the executor's intelligence network, which is not good news...

Ella took the black wooden box calmly and put it in her pocket.

But Melanie showed joy on her face. She stretched out a hand and asked in a relaxed tone:

"So, deal?"

"make a deal."

Ella responded.

Chapter 43 Trends

After establishing a cooperative relationship, a lot of information can be shared.

There is no doubt that the most worthy of discussion at the moment is the foul blood that haunted the Montreuil Cemetery three days ago.

Melanie said:

"According to the information we have obtained, there was a battle in the cemetery before the executors arrived. One of the parties was at least four hunters of the foul blood species, while the other party was unknown."

"Unidentified?"

Ella repeated.

That night, she used the Persona to conjure Ling's appearance.This kind of answer means that her disguise may have been seen through, or that the high-level executors have concealed information about the "Alliance" from the external staff.

This means that the "Alliance" is not on the list known to the outside staff. They may conflict at any time, and they have various reasons such as insufficient intelligence and accidental injury as excuses and guises.

Unknowingly, the struggle between the Kleist party and the alliance has extended to this place.Even in an event where there should be concerted efforts to deal with hidden dangers, there is no restraint.

"Yes, I suspect that this is an infighting among the filthy blood, and perhaps other forces are also involved!"

Ella glanced at the other party,

"It's you, not you?"

"Yes."

The guess was so accurate that it even surprised Ella.

"Is there any basis for it?"

"No... just a hunch, none of them believed me."

Putting aside her vague uneasiness for the time being, Ella forced a smile.

"It's normal, it's just a gut feeling after all."

Melanie shook her head as if mocking herself, and continued talking about the information she had received.

"We found the body of a filthy blood at the scene. The big shot at the contact point killed a hunter with his own hands, and there are two people left at large...the other party had a conflict with the hunter. Power, I don’t have a clue yet.”

Another hunter died?Ella knows how difficult it is to kill high-level filthy blood species. In her opinion, it is difficult for those junior executors who are not mature enough to do this.This means that among the executors in Paris, there is at least one proficient who has reached the level of a professor.

But it's a good thing anyway.

"How do you plan to investigate, continue to search in a wide area like this, and wait for their next appearance?"

Melanie said helplessly:

"No way, there is too little information about the hunters. They have disappeared for nearly a hundred years. We don't know how this team is acting now."

"What the old man means is that no matter how long it takes, dirty blood is still dirty blood, and their thirst for blood will never change."

Even Fitili, who hates blood, can't get rid of the instinct of dirty blood, let alone a hunter who indulges his desires.

Melanie nodded.

"We have arranged manpower in major hospitals and private clinics in the city. If there is a large amount of blood purchased, they will soon be able to follow the clues. If they want to get blood by killing civilians, it will be difficult to make a fuss out of the eyes of the executor."

"But three days have passed, and we still haven't got any clues. Maybe they prepared enough blood before they acted?"

Ella dismisses this notion.

"They only came with four people. Even if a storage point is established before the operation, how much blood can be stored? And that kind of thing is not easy to store. Maybe you can try to investigate a few wineries in Paris, but I I find it difficult to get results.”

"In addition, you may have overlooked a few points."

This is the result of Ella and Ling's discussion last night. From past experience, whether it is a ghoul cultivated by the dark wizard Lawrence, or an underground cult organization in London, this kind of place is often chosen as a hiding place.

"Hunters don't necessarily have to kill people to get blood. According to the old man, the filthy blood has the ability to create low-level family members. They can share the filthy blood with the common people, and get blood through their channels. The slums and sewers are The natural sanctuary of those family members."

Melanie's eyes grew brighter,

"Yes, this is indeed a breakthrough point! However... some executors should have thought of this method a long time ago, but in the end it came back to the problem of lack of manpower. It is now difficult for the contact point to find personnel to check these places. , if we relax street surveillance, we might allow hunters to hide under our noses.”

"So that's our job."

Ella laughed.

"But I haven't been in Paris for a long time. You should be more familiar with this kind of place than me. According to this idea, where should we go next?"

Melanie did not hesitate,

"Thirty kilometers to the northeast."

Ella nodded, reached out and grabbed Melanie's arm, and opened the "door" on the side of her body.Before entering the gate of light, she did not forget to use the "Embrace of the Night" to hide the figures of the two of them.

Because it is daytime, the effect of Embrace of Night is mediocre. If you look carefully, you can easily find the remaining translucent outline in the space.But ordinary people rarely pay attention to this.

Ella fell to the ground, and the environment in front of her felt very strange to her.

"This is also... Paris?"

Crowded and dilapidated buildings seem to be piled up in an orderly manner, among which there are many temporary sheds built with simple materials, and dozens of compact streets and alleys are squeezed out by large and small buildings.

Some alleys are so wide that people with a little plumpness cannot pass through, and even if they turn sideways, they will probably be caught in it and cannot move.

She faintly saw the shadow of the White Church from here, but the crowded and piled-up buildings in front of her were even more chaotic than there.

"It's the wreckage of old Paris, the suburb of Batignolles."

Melanie covered her nose, the sewage in the broken city almost made her faint.

"There are more than 100 million residents in Paris. In order to build his new Paris, Baron Haussmann demolished nearly [-]% of the slums and residential buildings. Those lands were bought by rich people who got the news in advance, and they can be sold several times after remodeling. Astronomical prices above."

This topic made Ella quite impressed.She remembered that when she was at the Iris Manor, Mr. Kate from the baron faction had vaguely mentioned the location of the next reconstruction, and the value of this news was above tens of thousands of francs.As long as the piece of land is owned in advance and included in the planning scope, these wealthy businessmen and bankers can make a lot of money.

But there's nothing to blame for that, and anyone with enough knowledge to digest the news would have the same choice.

"The Baron expanded Paris to eleven districts. Many of them were former villages or suburbs. People who lost their homes but were unable to find a place to live under the new order all gathered in these places."

"For example, here, Batignolles, 100 years ago, it was the execution ground for witches. Standing on the mountain, you can still see the crows wandering here, just like the ghosts of the past."

"Fire?"

Ella was stunned. She had learned about that period of history in Kraft's history of magic, but the ridiculous thing was that it was impossible for a real wizard to be tied to the stake by ordinary people.Most of those burned were defenseless women and folklorists.

She could feel the remaining negative forces in the air. Even after nearly a hundred years, they were still affecting the soil beneath her feet.
