Chapter 568: Magic Blast: Sacrifice
"The drain is the only promising clue we have at the moment, and I need to know which pool it is connected to. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"Hmm. Habin has a record of the use of the guest, which should let us know who used the pool on the day of the crime. You're not bad. "Hey, hey, hey, this is the one who beat you to the point where you are left with sequelae.
"It's an honor to have your affirmation."
"I'm going to miss your famous, sarcastic mouth."
"Really?"
"Hmm. It's like missing the knife I hid in my pants. β
Everyone came to the bathhouse together.
Lu Wen: "Okay, you and your brothers are responsible for inspecting the pool on the right, and I am responsible for the left. If you find something, shout. β
There are quite a few baths in the bathhouse, but they are small compared to the number of players. Everyone scattered around and quickly found the pool.
Rogert: "It's... The silver lid is the same as the one we found in the sewers. Lu Wen, come over here! β
Lu Wen came over and called Habin over.
Lu Wen: "Habin, empty the fourth pool." Grab the visitor book and move quickly. β
After the pool was emptied, Rogette inspected the bottom of the pool: "The gutter cover is missing, which means they did drop a bomb here. β
Lu Wen asked Habin: "Who used this pool on the day of the theft?" β
Habin: "I'll see... Breccht, the town councillor, Joseph, the winemaker, and the Marquis of Heinkel. β
Lu Wen: "Henkel? How can it be! β
Rogert: "Who is the Marquis of Henkel?" β
Lu Wen: "You should ask who is the dead person?" That old fool was buried in the ground last winter! He couldn't have been here on the day of the theft! β
Tang Tu remembered that this Heinkel should be pretended by Dandrien, and he had asked the two young ladies about this marquis.
Harbin: "He's dead?" I haven't heard of it. β
Lu Wen: "I'm not surprised. The noble marquis died in the women's branch in leather underwear, so his family held a secret funeral, but I still have my sources. β
Harbin: "But I saw him that day, I'm pretty sure. β
Lu Wen: "Did you talk to him?" Did you see what he looked like? β
Harbin: "No, I just passed by when I came in." β
Lu Wen: "What you see is not Heinkel, but an impostor. Rogette, track it in this direction. β
Rogert: "But where do I start?" β
Lu Wen: "Hinkel's home." The abandoned house on the south side of the main square. Maybe you can find clues there: we're finding the scoundrels. Alright, go ahead! "I really like to give orders.
So, Rogette and the players went to Lu Wenshuo's house. The house was very dilapidated, not at all like a marquis's house, but rather a beggar's house.
Rogette: "Dandrion's circle of friends is really interesting. β
They found some props, just like the ones in the sewers. There are many footprints in the room. A letter was also found.
"The same wine as the year you were born, absolutely superb, amazing aroma, you should definitely try it. But after tasting it, please return to its original place. β
Everyone found the bottle in the wine cabinet. Moving the bottle, a secret room appears in the next room.
Rogette: "The Chamber of Secrets... Presumably where Dandrion and his accomplices planned to act. That's where they make bombs. β
Everyone found a letter: "Siri, Mankey is following me, he's got the treasure, he's got Dandrien." You must run. "Manki... What a familiar name.
Just then, footsteps were heard in the house. It was Lu Wen and Lily who came.
Rogette: "I didn't expect to see you two here. Are you together? β
Lu Wen: "I think we need someone who knows a little magic, and I can't wait to see what the runes on the bomb are for. β
Rogette: "Lily, do you want to know that too?" β
Lily: "No, I'm here to make money. β
Lu Wen: "It's amazing that Merigothe was a cynical materialist. In fact, Lily is born out of ideals, and she needs money to save her colleagues. When I get the treasure back, I'll help her, it's as simple as that. Speaking of which, do you know who stole my gold? β
Rogette: "I'm keeping Lily busy, there's no need to look at the bombs." I already know who stole your treasure. Galle. Manki, the leader of the temple guards. β
Lu Wen took a breath, turned to Lily and said, "Okay, Merigothe, you can make money for revenge." Rogette, please tell me what you found, okay? I was very curious. β
Rogette: "What I found doesn't matter. And I don't have to explain everything to you. β
Lu Wen: "Okay. This time I will turn a blind eye to your impudence, but only because the noble marquis may really have something to do with this theft. Well, as far as I know, Mankey shouldn't have any property in his name, but he's really squandered quite a bit lately. β
Lily: "What are you going to do now?" β
Lu Wen: "I've heard that Mankey spends the morning at the docks, which is the stronghold of the witch hunters. Maybe I should visit him and ask him where he put my gold. Rogette, you go with Lily to him. β
Rogert: "Why didn't you go yourself?" Are you afraid of Manki? β
Lu Wen: "Of course I'm afraid of that vicious bastard. I think Lili would agree with me too. β
Lily: "I wouldn't use those words, but overall I agree with him. β
Rogette: "I don't think Mankey is going to tell us the truth. β
Lu Wen: "Me too." That's why I hired you and Lily. β
Rogette: "You want to use us?" β
Lu Wen: "Don't say it so ugly, I hired you two." Alright, two little couples, it's really time for me to go. Good luck. β
Lu Wen patted the PI shares and left.
Lily said to Rogette, "I thought you would correct him. About us... You know. β
Rogette: "I don't need to report my love life to him. β
Lily: "Good, I thought so too. Let's get down to business, let's go find the treasure. β
Rogert: "Lily, I have something to tell you, I didn't take Lu Wen's gold to heart. β
Lily: "I know. It's about Siri, right? β
Rogert: "Hmm. Mankey keeps Dandrion locked up somewhere, and Dandrion has seen Siri. β
Lily: "Then it's different. Listen, meet me at midnight at the Temple of the Queen of Eternity east of the harbor, and together we can figure out our way into the Hunter's Camp. β
Rogert: "Okay, see you then." And, thanks. β
It's halftime and players are free to move around. Tang Tu went to the blacksmith shop to repair the equipment, and then went to the grocery store to replenish the potion.
Night came quickly. The players and Rogette meet directly near the temple. Lily was already waiting there.
Lily: "You're here. Listen, I took a look at the building and it didn't look good. This damn fortress is full of high walls, gates guarded, armed people everywhere. There's no way we're going to sneak in, and there's no way we're going to kill it, because it will give Mankey enough time to escape. β
Rogette: "What do you think?" β
Lily took out a prop: "Take these chains and handcuff them." β
Rogette: "Ah, Lily, are you sure you want to do that?" In full view? β
Lily: "You may be surprised, but chains aren't just for sex toys. Think about it and put the evil Lily. Merigothe brings to the Hunters, who will not only open the door for you, but may also have you personally sacrifice her to Manki. β
Rogert: "There are no doors. It's too risky. β
Lily: "Dandrien, and Ciri's lives are at stake. It's not too risky. β
Rogert: "Lily, think again. Do you really want to put on shackles and voluntarily go into the mouth of the tiger? β
Lily: "Thank you for worrying, but I've made up my mind anyway. β
Rogette: "Okay. What if they take the bait? We went in, put a knife on Mankey's neck, and forced him to ask him about Dandrien's whereabouts? β
Lily shook her head: "It won't work, Mankey is a scumbag, but you have to admit that he is not afraid of death." β
Rogette: "I've always found this kind of fanatic quite annoying. So, we're going to have to kidnap him and say it himself. Any thoughts? β
Lily: "Maybe tell him you have information about the meeting, or even better if you have information about Feliba, he hates her the most." You'll always think of a way. β
Rogette: "Wait, I want to thank you. β
Lily: "Please, anyone would do that." β
Rogette: "No, not anyone. β
Lily: "Don't say it, a sorceress is not for blushing. β
Rogette: "I still don't think it's good. Still, let's go. β
Lily: "Rogette, remember, I can take care of myself. β
At this time, a player spoke: "I have a stealth skill, I can follow Lily to protect her." β
Rogert: "Okay, thank you. β
There is more than one player with stealth skills, and about a dozen players have decided to follow Lily to protect her. As a result, there are less than ten players left around Rogette.
Then again, it shouldn't be that there are so few players. With the addition of the dead, there are definitely not more than a hundred players following Rogette. It seems that there are players following other NPCs from the beginning.
Tang Tu can also be invisible, but his stealth skill is too short, so he decided to follow Rogette.
Lily: "Actually, it doesn't have to be so much trouble. Those hunters, they don't treat me like a lady. But I'll get through it, maybe I'll get a little hurt, but... The important thing is Siri, no matter what happens, do what you have to do. β
Rogette: "I can't guarantee that. β
Lily: "I'm still going to do it for you, okay?" β
Players: "We'll protect Lily." As long as Lily sends us a signal, we'll save her. β
Lily: "Hear me, Rogette, do what you have to do." β
Rogert: "Okay, listen to you. β
Rogette knocked on the temple door, and the guards came over to look at him, "What are you doing?" β
Rogert: "I'm here to receive the reward." β
Guard: "What reward?" β
Rogert: "The reward for catching a witch." Can you see who I've caught? It's Lily. Merry Goethe. β
Guard: "Merigothe? Come on in. β
Rogette escorted Lily into the temple. Players followed.
Guard: "Good, it's Lily. Merry Goethe. Demon hunters have changed from catching water ghosts to catching sorceresses? β
Rogette: "There's a lot of money. β
Guard: "Witches do more harm, what will the water ghosts do?" It's just that the fisherman is occasionally pulled out of the boat. But witches can murder kings, plot plots, and start wars. β
Lily: "Don't forget to turn the cow's freshly milked milk into sour." β
The guard slapped Lily: "Merigothe, you can't joke anymore. Put her in a dungeon. β
Rogette: "You think beautifully, I'm going to give her to Mankey myself, or I won't talk about it." β
Guard: "Do you think we don't know what to do with this witch?" He reached out to grab Lily.
Lily: "Go away, you bastard. β
Guard: "Such a pretty mouth shouldn't have such a dirty tongue, we seem to have ripped it off." β
Rogert: "If I'm you, I'll try to relax and maybe find something interesting." β
Guard: "For example?" β
Rogert: "Like Feliba's hideout, like. β
Lily: "I'll settle accounts with you, you..."
Guard: "Redhead cousin, shut your mouth!" And you, honestly find out Feliba's whereabouts for me! β
Rogette: "I've made it clear, I'm only going to deal with Mankey. β
Guard: "Mankey doesn't deal with people like you. "Looking for death?
Rogert: "Then please help me convey to him that my friend Merrigothe and I have been here." β
Guard: "... Okay, bring her with me, but be sure to follow me. β
Rogert, Lily, and the players follow the guards into the main hall and up the stairs.
Guard: "We're separated here. You go over there and see Manchi, and Merigothe will be next door. β
Lily: "You can't force anything out of my mouth. You can't, and he can't. β
Guard: "Pretend to be strong, huh?" Wait and see, we'll pull out one, or even three, nails, and you should have something to say. β
Rogert: "Okay, take her away. I don't want you to interrupt our conversation. But let go of your hand and not be allowed to touch her. β
Guard: "Why?" Do you feel sorry for this female cousin? β
Rogert: "No, it's my PI's business. But if I don't get what I want from Mankey, I'm going to sell her to someone else. I just don't want you to spoil the item. β
Guard: "Very business-minded, you are very suitable to be a noblewoman." Don't worry, Mankey will give you the money, and Merigothe will get what she deserves. β
Rogert: "Whatever you want." β
The guards took Lily away. Rogette was brought to Mankey. Lily was next door, and everyone could still hear voices coming from the other side of the wall.
Guard: "Let's start with your little thumb first. No, let's start with the ring finger. This is with a finger and running to the vegetable market. β
Lily: "Ahhhh
