Soul Echo

"It's getting more complicated..." Lillian murmured.

During the exchange between priest and Zhong Ye, she was unable to interject, but she also listened to the whole process and learned a lot of new information.

priest's words did not differ much from the information given by the intelligence officer of the thieves guild before, except for a suspected 'old lord illegalimate child'.

The intelligence officers of the Thieves Guild did not give them a detailed description of the assassination process, but the priest told them the cause of death of the old lord.

——【But it's so strange! Isn't the player unable to take the initiative to attack the aborigines? ]

——[Could it be that the player received some quest? I remember that players can attack the natives if they are attacked or given a quest, right? ]

——[There is a possibility! Is anyone in the studio in Montreux? Can someone tell me what the old lord of Montreux was like? ]

In addition to those who play memes and repeat, there are a small number of viewers who are watching and discussing the plot seriously.

The plot of "Soul Echo" is calculated in real time. Even if no players participate, the system will promote the development of the plot according to the actions of the aborigines, further deepening the authenticity of the game.

This kind of real-time calculation plot system has already been realized in other games, but the degree of completion is not as high as that of "Soul Echo".

So some 'plot parties' like to host game characters when there is no plot happening to them, go to the live broadcast room of other players to watch the live broadcast and make suggestions, equivalent to participating in other people In the plot, this can bring them a kind of pleasure.

And because Lilian's live broadcast time is during the day, it happens to be the working time of most people, when they can't play the game, watching the live broadcast and participating in the plot can effectively relax the mood when fishing - of course , their boss doesn't like to see them do it.

After watching the barrage for a while, Lilian suddenly found that Zhong Ye was taking herself away from the church, and then she wondered: "teacher, where are we going?"

Never After arriving in Montreux, they were moving non-stop, with little rest.

Although Lilian is used to traveling, she doesn't feel tired because of it. After all, it is Zhong Ye who really does the work, and she just keeps learning by his side.

But not only herself, but even the audience did not analyze any valid information from the new information given by the priority. It stands to reason that the clues should be broken here, even if they start from other directions , there is no way to find the connection between these things.

Even the director of the Adventurer's House probably couldn't possibly give any new information - even if he was there when the incident happened!

If you are a player, you can use an unusual method - looking for those players who carried out this assassination - to understand this matter, but as an aboriginal, what can Zhong Ye do?

"There is still a missing link in the whole incident."

Walking ahead, Zhong Ye slowly said: "As long as that link is filled, Montreux can basically be determined. Is the lord a cultist after all?"

...Huh?

Lilian was stunned when she heard this.

Have you missed any information? How can you be sure if the Lord of Montreux is a cult? Wasn't all those things conjectured before? In case any information is not true, the final deduced result should also be wrong.

Then, she saw that Zhong Ye took out a familiar notebook from her backpack, she thought about it, and immediately remembered that it was the one that the daughter of Chief-In-Charge in the Turin black market gave to Zhong Ye before. A small notebook that records the traces of suspected cultists.

She has also read the information in the small book, the first page is about Valais...

speaking of which, they seem to have found it from Valais here!

Thinking of this, Lilian was stunned again.

Why do intelligence agents in the Turin black market think there are cult traces in Valais?

It's because they found out that there are several caravans suspected of secretly trafficking people with Valais, or the Alps.

As for which caravans they were, they could not find out, but they were able to find out the food and fresh water trade in the local area and along the way.

That's why Zhong Ye wondered how people in the Turin black market found out about Valais when he was in Valais.

There were few outsiders in and out of the city, and it was later learned from Savage that there was only one caravan linked to Valais.

At that time, Zhong Ye was still wondering if the lord of Valais had something to do with the cult, or was a cult himself.

Until they came to Montreux...

Zhong Ye opened the small book, looked at the contents of the first page, and said softly, "The 'Lake of Xiyong' mastered The road to Valais, but is it necessary for them to do so?"

"...Indeed, it is not necessary." Lilian took a deep breath.

There are no other towns along the trade route to Valais, that is to say, the 'Lake of Chillon' cannot sell and buy at the same time, all the goods they carry are prepared for Valais.

They spent two days in Valais and saw nothing of value in the city.

All the output of that city is not much different from that of an ordinary medieval agricultural town, which she should have thought of after discovering that the 'Lake of Chillon' was related to the Lord of Montreux !

The 'evidence' has been there for a long time, but it is not sufficient, and she has never been able to realize it.

But this was all half a month ago, and she didn't pay much attention to it at the beginning, so it's not strange that she didn't remember it.

But anyway, she slacked off.

There may be no cultists in Valais, but there are cultists in Montreux - the 'Lake of Chillon' passed the trade route with Valais to cover up the trade of people, and this trader The team impossible is full of cultists, so they also secretly carry out some unknown human trafficking.

Using this layer of 'business', it is possible to cover up the behavior of cultists secretly collecting lives or souls.

Whether this is the case is unknown, but now Zhong Ye just wants to make up for the missing part of this 'closed loop'!

Thinking of this, Lilian felt her scalp tingle.

As for where the last part of this 'closed loop' is, there is no need for Zhong Ye to explain, they have already come to that place.

Standing on one end of the bridge, Lillian looked into the distance and saw a quaint castle on the other side.

The castle is built on the water-blue lake, and the edge almost touches the lake.

It is called 'Hillon' and is the property of the lords of Montreux and the residence of the lords of the past.

Zhong Ye only stopped at the edge of the bridge for a moment, then stepped forward and walked towards the castle with Lilian.

The two set foot on the stone bridge and were soon found by soldiers on duty at the other end of the bridge.

Several soldiers clenched their weapons tightly, held their heads high, and watched Zhong Ye approach slowly.

One step, two steps, three steps...

The palm of the hand holding the weapon was involuntarily slack, not even they themselves felt their eyes slanted down a little, from the Zhong Ye's face slid down to his torso, and then from his torso to his feet.

For some reason, they dared not look directly at Zhong Ye's face.

Walking to the front of the castle, Zhong Ye looked up at the heavy door in front of him, then turned his head and looked towards the soldier beside him, "Excuse me, can you go and inform your lord? Please tell him , 'Zhong Ye' is visiting."

Several soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, this man dressed up like an adventurer, but he had something he had only seen in the master... 'temperament'?

This kind of temperament makes it difficult for them to make a decision for a while, and they dare not make a decision easily.

An older soldier lowered his voice as much as possible, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Please, uh, wait here for a while, and I'll go to inform Kevin deacon."

Because they weren't sure what Zhong Ye's identity was and whether he was qualified to meet their lord, they simply didn't make a decision on their own and let the deacon make the decision.

In this way, it is not them who offend people in the end.
