In the temporary residence arranged by Lan, Wei Lisi and the others were sitting or standing together, and the third team leader, who was coerced and lured into joining the group, was also sitting on the sofa, explaining what she knew about the incident. cause and effect.
"Well, it is a certain fact that the cub was captured by poachers. Based on my knowledge of the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains, it is impossible for them to fabricate such a thing to make trouble. But it is hard to say which group of poachers committed such a stupid thing, and where they are hiding their targets now, and this matter may be... Tsk..."
After briefly sorting out the information, Lan made a serious statement as if deliberately emphasizing it.
"Let's say it first. Although I can provide assistance to you, I will not do illegal, criminal, or unreasonable things. I will not abandon the bottom line of being a human being in order to improve martial arts."
"Ah, ah, if you really want to do that kind of thing, you don't need your help... Didn't you say it, I'm just interested in this matter itself, and it's not about me, Miss Lan, you don't really want a monster war between the United Kingdom and the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains?"
"........."
Seeing that the pastor made her mind clear, Lan's expression became a little embarrassed, and finally she just nodded, as if she had made up her mind.
"Although I don't know where the cub is and what the demons plan to do, I have some guesses about the gang that poached it."
After hesitating for a while, Lan gritted his teeth, and finally spoke.
"Not long ago, by chance, I saw a guy who was suspected to be a cadre of the [Ghost Thief Group] at home... in the City Lord's Mansion."
"The Ghost Thieves Group is one of the huge underground poaching forces in Zhenmo City. They have business dealings with many nobles and rich merchants. But after that incident, they suddenly died down, and the forces of their subordinates also shrank rapidly. Although the reason is unknown, But it's obviously weird."
"Furthermore... the attitude of Taylor Tours, the lord of Town Demon City, in this incident is also very suspicious. Not only did he not try to find the cub to ease the crisis, but he kept secretly suppressing the forces that were doing this. He even went so far as to turn against a team of legendary adventurers like [Reaper's Scythe]."
Lan took a deep breath and didn't say a conclusion directly, but asked rhetorically.
"What do you think the combination of these two means?"
"The Tours family colluded and instigated [Ghost Thieves Group] to deliberately steal the cubs that the monsters value. What do you want to do?"
There is nothing to hide, Miss Pastor frankly stated the conclusion that it would make countless people turn pale.
Lan did not affirm or deny, but remained silent with an ugly expression on her face. She probably had been suspicious of this for a long time.
"Hmm...it seems right."
Is it really the Tours family who is manipulating behind the scenes? The lord of Town Demon City, Taylor Tours... No, could it be the patriarch Griffith Tours, the prime minister who is far away in the City of Valor?
Speaking of which, Lilia seems to have mentioned that the first person to bring up this matter at the court meeting was the prime minister who was over eighty years old...
Although I want to go back to the City of Courage and check the information with Lilia, the situation in Town Demon City is very chaotic now, and this is only a temporary residence provided by Lan, and I may leave at any time. It would be too wasteful to install a portal.
The black-haired girl stood up with a "bass".
"Okay! Now that you've figured it out, go grab that Taylor Tours, beat him up, and order him to confess everything!"
"no!"
Almost at the next moment, Lan's nervous and hasty exclamation sounded.
Seeing the doubts cast by the other girls, and then they seemed to understand something, Lan pursed her lips and said in a voice that was almost pleading.
"I know that you may have this kind of strength, but can you let me talk to my father first? It won't take long, I will leave tomorrow, I know my father, he is not a character who can do this kind of thing alone, for sure If anyone is advising him, why not let me test it first... Please, just treat it as me providing information..."
"Hmm... so, that's okay."
Although Lan's approach is definitely tainted with selfishness, there is one thing that Willis agrees with. In this matter, a guy like Taylor Tours on the bright side is definitely not the real planner. It was probably just the result of the golden cicada escaping its shell, so she never ran to confront him.
What I said just now was actually deliberately scaring the daughter of the Tours family and inducing her to make such a decision.
Look, it was someone who asked to do this, and it has nothing to do with her, Wei Lisi.
Now that I know the specific name of the poaching gang that captured the cub, it becomes clear what I really need to do.
"Lan, is there a way for us to meet this [Ghost Thieves] guy, even if it's just a peripheral member."
Wei Lisi looked over expectantly, but the head of the internal security bureau shook her head resolutely.
"I can't do it, didn't I say it? After the incident, the entire [Ghost Thieves Group] stopped and hid. I am from the Internal Security Bureau. If I knew where the poachers were hiding, I would have led the team to arrest them all. How can I wait for today?"
"Uh, what you said makes sense..."
At this moment, Ti Lisa suddenly turned her head quietly, and whispered in a low voice by the neck of Miss Priest.
"Miss Willis, do you have the feeling that you've heard the name [Ghost Thieves] somewhere?"
"Ok?"
Wait... It's true, there is indeed a feeling of déjà vu, but the impression is very shallow... Where did I hear it?
Wei Lisi looked up and looked around, but found that except for Ti Lisa who reminded her with a thoughtful face, the others seemed to have no reaction to the name.
Xiaolongniang has never memorized the names of "lower creatures", so this is normal, but if Leila and the others don't know, in Town Demon City...
Suddenly, a rebellious and stinky face with slanted bangs emerged from Miss Pastor's not-so-deep memory. At the same time, Ti Lisa also exclaimed beside her.
"Ah! I remembered Miss Willis, it's Mr. Slanted Bangs!"
"Why are you starting to call him oblique bangs..."
It seems that there is such a thing. At the Adventurer’s Guild, when I met Slanted Liu Hai by chance, and let Ti Lisa beat him up to attract Lester, the uncle did mention in passing when he apologized for Slanted Liu Hai that this guy used to belong to an organization called [Ghost Thieves].
Alas, this is really true, the crowd has searched for her thousands of times... Ah bah, there is nowhere to find her when you step through the iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to find her.
Chapter 396: Chapter 24: Qing Lan
Now that he has learned of this unexpected clue, the next action is very clear.
However, it was very late today, and I just caused trouble for Uncle Lester and the others in the evening, so it would not be good to bother them now, so Willis planned to visit the [Black Knight Mercenary Corps] station tomorrow.
The information was almost shaken, and Lan was about to leave. The residence she arranged for Wei Lisi and others was not far from her own private house, and it was only a few steps away. It is said that she bought it for a temporary stay for friends from other places. Place, happens to be vacant right now.
It is precisely because it is located next to the mansion of the captain of the third special detachment and the city lord's daughter, under the dark lights, that Lan can guarantee that he will not be found by the town's army.
"Oh, by the way, just wait."
"?"
Calling the girl with two ponytails who was about to get up and go out, Wei Lisi thought for a while under the confused gaze cast by the other party, then randomly took out an object from the void, and threw it backhanded at the other party.
"Xiaoguang broke your knife, now we are also considered partners, this should be regarded as an apology, can you use it smoothly?"
Lan subconsciously caught it, and pulled out the slender knife, and tapped the knife a few times with his finger, and his eyes lit up immediately.
"Huh?! What a great knife! The blade is so light and thin, but it sounds so tough. I have never heard of this kind of metal forging a knife. It can have such amazing magic adaptability and hardness? Could it be mixed with some high-grade magic crystal powder? And the shape of this knife is almost customized for the knife technique in [Famous Sword True Explanation].
The girl raised her head in surprise, as if some strange luster had been added to her eyes.
"Willis, you still have such a treasured sword? Originally, I was only half-believed that you could help me further comprehend [The True Explanation of Famous Swords]. Now I can confirm that you really know this way well. If you have the chance, you can Can't you give me some advice?"
"Eh?... Cough, let's talk when we have a chance."
Professionals are different. After getting a new weapon, the first thing Lan pays attention to is not its grade, but its adaptability and feel to the sword. What she just said, because the speed of speech is too fast Even Wei Lisi only half understood.
Because Lan Xiu is the sword technique in [Fantasy World], the common swords in this world are not suitable for her to use, so she will customize the weapon by herself, but this happens to be no problem for Wei Lisi.
"This knife is called [Qing Lan], but it is quite similar to your name. You may have a predestined relationship, so I will borrow it from you temporarily. It can be regarded as the first stage of our cooperation. After I leave Town Town Before, you can use it as you like. Of course, if you perform well in the future, it is not impossible to consider giving it to you. In addition, [Qing Lan] is a spiritual weapon... Cough, Lingbao."
"Qinglan, Qinglan...a good name, a good knife, this is...then I won't be polite! Don't worry, good sisters, if you need help, you can come to me anytime! Haha!"
It seemed that she fell in love with every aspect of Qinglan at a glance, and Lan didn't even care much about its grade mentioned by the pastor. With a smile on her face, she hugged her in her arms and left contentedly.
Watching Lan walk out the door, Miss Priest opened her mouth, showing helplessness.
"This guy, his attitude has changed so quickly..."
They even called the sisters directly, they almost got into a fight not long ago, I don't understand what these sword-wielding guys are thinking all day long...
As she said, [Qing Lan] is a golden-grade spiritual weapon, which is a super weapon called Lingbao in this world, and Wei Lisi chose to lend this knife to Lan for use, which is naturally deliberate passed.
The first and most important reason is that she doesn't have many stocks below the gold quality in her backpack, and the knives made in this world are not suitable for Lan to use.
In addition to what Wei Lisi said, Xiao Longniang broke Lan Zhen's precious weapon, and her expression of grief was greater than heartbreak at that time, which moved Miss Priest a little, and there was another reason, that is, they couldn't just rely on a bad check. The opponent keeps working.
Cooperation should be based on a win-win situation. If it is a long-term process and the ultimate bargaining chip to improve swordsmanship, then [Qing Lan] is the initial deposit paid by Wei Lisi, but the value of spiritual weapons is too high in the eyes of ordinary people in this world. , Sending it directly is easy to make the other party have some troublesome associations, so she said the word "temporary loan".
Unlike Lester's time, Wei Lisi took out [Qing Lan] after careful consideration, just like a big stick and a sweet date, only by using both kindness and strength, and a certain degree of relaxation, can you grasp the hearts of others.
Mayor Taylor let Lan try it out by himself, the best results can be obtained, and it’s okay to fail, because Wei Lisi will go to [Black Knight Mercenary Corps] again tomorrow, trying to find contact with the so-called oblique bangs. [Ghost Thieves Group]'s doorway.
After this trip, it's basically time for a showdown.
Although the wanted outside is in vain to Wei Lisi and others, it is still a bit troublesome to come and go, especially for a child like Ti Lisa who is not too strong, if she is not careful, she will indeed encounter danger.
It's better to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
..........................................
The next day, Wei Lisi and Xiaolong Niang went to Leicester early in the morning, while Leila Renee and the others stayed at the house and waited for contact. After all, it doesn't take too many people to inquire about information, and it will be troublesome if the target is too big.
Wearing the [Mask of Cognitive Impediment] and walking on the street with Xiaolongniang, probably due to yesterday's mass raid and other incidents, the city is obviously much more depressed than before. Many shops have their doors and windows closed. There is a tense atmosphere that is about to come.
But Willis knows that the intensification of the conflict between the two sides, or the monster war should not break out now, at least Wanmo Mountain chooses to send the elite demon and the strange butterfly called Tiel to sneak into the city, which shows that they also want to avoid confrontation with the United Kingdom as much as possible.
But if these rescue teams all return without success, or even break up in Town Demon City, it will be hard to say.
The effectiveness of the [Cognitive Impairment Mask] is still reliable. Even if you walk on the street in such a majestic manner, and even see the arrest warrants and portraits posted on the bulletin board, the civilians and soldiers around you seem to be blind. Liz and Liz turned a blind eye.
Without a hitch, they arrived at their destination.
The [Black Knight Mercenary Group]'s resident is still the same as before. It seems that what happened last night has not had any impact on this place.
It may seem unbelievable, but in fact this is normal.
After all, this is a world where the strong are respected.
In any case, it is sky-level, a huge mercenary group and adventure group with hundreds of people, if they just take in the fugitives and do not directly conflict with the army, Town Demon City will not do anything to them.
After all, the situation is tense now, and adventurers are also one of the indispensable forces once we really start a war with the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains.
Even so, it is not oblique bangs who are guarding the goal today.
Because it felt very troublesome, Wei Lisi simply used the [chameleon cloak] to cover her figure, and she and Xiaolong Niang directly passed the guard at the door.
Just when I stepped into the gate of the residence, for some reason... the word [Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage] suddenly popped up in Miss Pastor's mind.
Chapter 397: Chapter 25: Wrong, Right, Value and Meaning
Lester wasn't patrolling today, but it wasn't hard for Willis to find him.
That [Black Knight's Soul Battle Shield] was given to Lester by her personally. Although the equipment of the level of the spirit weapon has not been bound yet, it has stayed in Wei Lisi's bag for a long time anyway. There is a certain connection.
[Full Map Orientation Detection] This general-purpose skill may seem a bit useless now that you have mastered the sp application method, but it is still very convenient when there are already imprinted items, at least it will not be so eye-catching .
Following the guidance of skills, Wei Lisi finally found a man with a sad face in the office of the head of the station.
"Hey, hey! Why do you look like someone owed you thousands of gold coins and then ran away, Uncle Lester?"
"Wow!"
Startled by the two girls who suddenly appeared in front of him out of nowhere, Lester was so startled that he almost smashed the big shield beside the table, but he saw Wei Lisi's half-smiling face before he quickly put away stop.
"No, Miss Willis, why are you so elusive..."
After staring at the pretty face of the black-haired girl for a few seconds, and then at the blond-haired Dragon Lady behind her, after confirming that it was indeed her, Lester sat down again, helplessly holding his forehead.
"No one owes me gold coins. It's just that a group of girls who are looking for trouble made a big mess last night, and then suddenly disappeared at a critical moment. Now the whole city is covered with arrest warrants. I, an old man, am so worried. I didn't sleep well last night... Sigh, it seems that you are being self-indulgent, but you, Miss Willis, are too arrogant. Not only did you not run away when the army came, but you also..."
Hearing Lester complaining non-stop like a nagging old mother, Willis hurriedly stopped him with hand gestures.
"Stop, stop! What happened yesterday was really just an accident. In fact, I didn't expect that to happen... In short, don't worry, we have found a safe place and new allies. When we come to the station this time, I still want to ask you to do me a favor, hehe..."
"You guys... well, okay, okay, what's the matter? Let me tell you first, because of the situation last night, I have already been watched by the military. If there is too much movement, I can't do it."
The head of the group smiled bitterly with an expression of "I really admire you", but his expression was obviously much more relaxed.
It could be seen that he was really worried about Willis and the others, and with the fact that Lester stood beside them without hesitation yesterday, Miss Pastor was actually quite satisfied.
However, this matter does need Leicester's help.
"Actually, it's like this. I remember you mentioned before that the slant in the mercenary group... Cough, Cyril, used to be from a poaching organization called [Ghost Thieves], can you explain the situation in detail? ?”
"Ok?"
Lester frowned. Although he had indeed revealed this matter casually, Wei Lisi deliberately mentioned it at this time, coupled with her unabashed tone, still made him, as the head of the regiment, keenly aware of something.
But since Wei Lisi specifically asked, he couldn't deny it.
"That kid Cyril... It is true that for some reason, he was coaxed and tricked into doing some stupid things before."
The man stood up, and walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looking out at the somewhat gloomy sky, with a slightly emotional tone.
