Chapter 617: investigation team
Chapter 617 Investigation Team
Led by Van Swick, Duanmuhuai and Aojis walked through the wailing hall and came to the guest room on the other side. Just as they opened the door, they saw two figures.
One of them was a girl with long silver hair, braided braids, armor and a beret. She had a rapier hanging from her waist and was staring out the window anxiously. Sitting next to her was a little girl with blue braids and a witch-like hat. She was curled up on the sofa, holding the teacup in front of her, wondering what she was thinking.
Hearing the knock on the door, both of them raised their heads, and saw Van Swick, Duanmuhuai, and Augis walking in, and they all showed surprised expressions.
"I kept you two waiting for a long time."
Vanswick seemed to be very good at this kind of situation, he smiled and said hello.
"Just now, the last two adventurers have arrived."
"Are you talking about them?"
Duanmu Huai turned his head and stared at Van Swick.
Didn't you think of me as a kindergarten nanny?
"I'm really sorry, because of the previous attack, our manpower is really insufficient. Ah, the captain of the original reservation was the head of the Silver Knights, but unfortunately he died of an illness, so his daughter..."
"Amelia, my name is Amelia."
The silver-haired girl turned her head, stared at Duanmu Huai, put her hands on her chest and introduced herself.
"I will lead the investigation team to investigate instead of my father."
“………”
Duanmuhuai stared at Van Swick silently, his eyes full of "you're kidding me" - Van Swick only showed a wry smile.
"Then, please help yourself, I have a step ahead."
After saying this, Van Swick fled away, while the group stood in an awkward room, staring at each other.
I don't know how long it took before Amelia coughed awkwardly.
"Since we are going to act together, why don't we introduce ourselves first... From me, I am Emilia, the Silver Knight. Although I am still young, I am also a full-time member of the Silver Knights. I know that I may Some are not reliable, but I will try."
After saying this, Emilia cast her eyes on the blue-haired girl next to her—maybe it was because they were all in the same room before and were relatively close to each other?
“……”
Noticing Emilia's eyes, the blue-haired girl sighed lightly.
"Luo Qixi Migrutia, I am a five-ring magician."
"Warlock?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai's expression moved slightly.
"What department?"
"Elastogenesis."
"Elasto..."
Hearing the girl's answer, Duanmu Huai was somewhat disappointed. The mages in this world know many quite magical spells, some of which are even more interesting than the spells used by An and others. Especially the transformation, illusion, conjuration and enchantment spells are very interesting.
In comparison, the evocation department...
To put it bluntly, it is the Five Fireball God Sect... This kind of power can be achieved by Duan Muhuai with just a bazooka.
Compared to Duanmuhuai's disappointment, Emilia looked a little surprised.
"Are you a spellcaster who has stepped into the fifth ring?"
"Exactly."
Luo Qixi nodded, but didn't say much, just lowered her head and stared at the cup in her hand.
"Then why did you come to Neverwinter?"
“…I was just traveling and happened to be here.”
"Is that so..."
Emilia nodded without asking any further questions, and then she cast her gaze on Duanmuhuai—well, I have to say, just from the armor and helmet Duanmuhuai wore, it doesn't look like that. is a good man.
"Uh, are you..."
"My name is Duanmu Huai, she is Augis, and we are from the Tribunal."
"...Inquisition??"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's introduction, Amelia was taken aback for a moment.
"Sorry, please forgive my ignorance, what kind of organization is that?"
"To put it simply, it is an organization that protects human beings. Killing demons, heretics and aliens in order to protect human beings is the responsibility of the Inquisition Court. This time I received the invitation of Ms. Erebes to come to Neverwinter City for this reason. come."
Duanmuhuai could feel that when he said "devil", Luo Qixi's body stiffened slightly.
"Hoo......"
After listening to Duanmuhuai's explanation, Emilia seemed to be relieved—maybe she felt that there were finally professionals.
"Uh, Mr. Duanmuhuai, I have a question, why are you wearing a helmet?"
“…………”
Facing Amelia's inquiry, Duanmuhuai fell silent.
"...because of the curse."
"Curse?"
"Yes, maybe you don't know, I have been a handsome man since I was born."
"………Aha?"
"...the nurse who delivered the baby passed out on the spot when she saw me. When I left the hospital, all the female medical staff in the hospital came out to see me off. When I was in school, the girls in the class would even fight over me. , even the teacher showed unprecedented fanaticism after seeing me, and when I was walking on the street, the girls were fascinated even more, they would faint directly just seeing me, if they were me Watching is even more irrational, so, for the peace and tranquility of the world, I put on this armor and sealed my handsome appearance..."
"Well………"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Amelia and Luo Qixi were stunned, not knowing how to react. They looked at Duanmuhuai, then at Augis - the latter was sitting on Duanmuhuai's shoulders, swinging his legs expressionlessly, with a look of indifference.
real or fake?
"Cough, cough cough... Then, let's get back to the topic. Our next task is to investigate the source of the plague. In this regard, do you have any opinions?"
Emilia coughed in embarrassment, and forcibly brought the topic back.
"I want to see the original investigative report first."
Duanmu Huai also gave his own answer.
"Neverwinter should have investigated and recorded the source of the plague."
"Ah, I do."
Hearing Duanmuhuai's question, Emilia nodded, and then took out a notepad—although it seemed a little immature, she was well prepared.
"According to the records, the plague began to spread in early winter. At the beginning, everyone thought it was just a common seasonal cold, but soon, the symptoms became more serious. It didn't take long for the beggar's nest to completely fall. At this moment, Neverwinter has discovered that something is wrong. Lord Nasher chose to close the city immediately, but it was too late. Except for the relatively stable Black Lake area, almost the entire Neverwinter City has been infected by the plague... This kind of plague cannot be cured, even by priests and priests. Divine spells can't play the slightest role, so the infection spreads quickly."
"What about the specific source of infection?"
"Sorry, I don't know much about this."
"So, in the early stages of infection, did anyone go to the Beggar's Nest for treatment?"
"Um………"
Amelia looked through the records.
"In the early days of the plague outbreak, Master Duzel went to the beggar's lair to rectify the patients. Every year, he would give free medical consultations to the poor in Neverwinter who couldn't see the disease. That's why he discovered the extraordinary nature of this plague. Office, and promptly warned Lord Nasher."
"Master Duzel?"
"Yes, Master Duzel Caides, he is a well-known archdruid in Neverwinter, and he is very respected."
Druids are indeed better at dispensing medicine and curing diseases...
"So where is this archdruid now?"
"I heard that he left Neverwinter to find a cure for the plague... I don't know the specifics."
"Then, I suggest that we go to the residence of the arch druid."
Duanmu Huai stood up.
"Since he is an expert in this field, maybe he will keep records of the early days of the plague, and maybe we will find some clues from it."
Emilia didn't think there was any problem with Duanmuhuai's proposal, and quickly nodded in agreement.
They first went to the Grand Druid's residence in the center of Neverwinter City, but they were told that the other party hadn't come back for a long time, but the gatekeeper still gave Emilia and the others a message that Master Duzel was begging There is a place in the Nest where patients are treated, and if there is any record, it should be there.
I have to say that when she first heard the news, Emilia was still very embarrassed. After all, as a local resident, she also knew the situation in the Beggar's Nest. Not only were corpses piled up like mountains, but even undead creatures appeared there. Right now, the guards and the Knights have completely sealed off the Beggar's Nest. It may not be easy for them to get in...
However, in fact, when a group of people came to the gate of the beggar's nest, they saw a group of people happily walking in.
"How is this going?"
Seeing this scene, Emilia hurriedly asked the guard at the gate.
"Isn't the beggar's nest completely blocked?"
"Ah, Miss Amelia."
Seeing Emilia, the guard also showed a smile.
"It's actually thanks to those adventurers."
"Adventurer?"
"That's right, wasn't there a group of adventurers who followed Ms. Erebes's order to find something missing? They not only wiped out the undead creatures in the Beggar's Nest, but they also cleaned up the cult inside." , Now the Beggar's Nest is barely peaceful, so everyone has started to go home again."
"That's it, that's good."
Hearing the guard's answer, Emilia also heaved a sigh of relief. After all, she also knew that it was very hard for refugees to flee their homes, not to mention that it was not a problem for these refugees to live on the streets outside. The danger of the nest dissipated, and everyone went home one after another, which was somewhat a good thing.
"Can we go in too?"
"certainly."
Duanmuhuai and the others also had the permission of Ms. Erebes, so they entered the beggar's nest easily. Then, the group followed the previous prompts and finally found the "hospital" of the archdruid.
It was located in the corner of the Beggar's Nest. It looked like a warehouse building. The whole building was sealed tightly, the gate was locked, and even tied with thick iron chains. In this place that looked dirtier than a slum It is a bit surprising that there is such a complete building in this place.
"This is troublesome, there is no key..."
Seeing the iron chain that was almost bigger than her own head, Emilia was also a little embarrassed, but when she was thinking about what to do, Duan Muhuai stretched out her hand, grabbed the iron chain, and then pulled it suddenly. !
"Boom!"
The next moment, the thumb-thick iron chain snapped, and then Duanmu Huai directly opened the wooden door, and strode in.
"Hey? Mr. Duanmu! Trespassing like this is against the law!"
"Now is not the time to care about such small things."
Duanmu Huai walked into the warehouse, looked around, and at the same time, a gleam flashed in his eyes.
Of course he didn't just come here to look for clues, it can even be said... Duanmuhuai came here to look for evidence.
That's right, after listening to Emilia's introduction, Duanmuhuai suspected that the archdruid might be the prisoner.
The reason is very simple. For matters related to the scale of corruption, you can’t go wrong with a doctor. If the opponent is not a friendly army, he must have betrayed the enemy!
Then, let me see if this Archdruid is innocent.
