Section 761 The scam of the century
As he leaves the shipyard, Angel gives Ohm a phantom hint to make him forget what happened before leaving.
When he couldn't find any other clues, he decided to start with the Feather Fan that Lucas was riding, but he didn't expect to get some valuable news.
For example, Ingres received Lucas's fate from Ohm, who affirmed that he was sentenced to death in the history books.
At first, Professor Gurman only speculated that Lucas might be executed. But in Ohm's words, he was very sure that Lucas must have been sentenced.
Obviously, the historical facts they confirmed may have been erroneous in the lineage.
None of them knew that Lucas had not actually been executed.
In addition to this, Ingres also learned another thing, which was recorded in both Professor Gurman and the logbook, but there was no detailed explanation-
What exactly is Lucas's Scam of the Century?
According to Ohm, it was actually Lucas who went to the palace to ask the king for instructions when his family was in ruin and financially distressed, saying that he would sail through the devil's sea and open up new territory for the king.
At that time, the Devil's Sea was already a forbidden area, and no one dared to sail into it. But if they want to discover other continents, they must travel through the Devil's Sea.
The king has always offered a high bounty, hoping that someone will go to sea to explore, but unfortunately no one has ever received the bounty until Lucas takes the initiative to ask for it.
The king was overjoyed and gladly agreed to Lucas, giving him a large amount of supplies, and even the Fan was built with the full support of the treasury.
Lucas left in 1347 and returned in 1353. After leaving for almost six years, he returned and said something inexplicable to the king.
Ohm didn't know exactly what he was saying, but anyway, all the ministers present at the time thought it was ridiculous. Moreover, there were many sailors when he went, and when he came back, all the sailors were dead, and Lucas said that he was killed by pirates, and without corroboration, everyone thought that Lucas was lying.
Moreover, Why didn't the pirates kill Lucas?
The king also had some doubts in his heart about whether Lucas was lying, because Lucas's reputation had always been very bad, and there were ministers in the court who said conclusively that in the past six years, they had seen Lucas in a certain country and a certain place on the Ferran continent, and they were basically having fun.
The words of these ministers seem to prove that Lucas did not go to sea at all, and that his going to sea was actually a lie, in order to defraud the state property.
The king was furious, knowing that the king knew that Lucas was going to risk his life, and he told the whole dynasty about it. Now tell him that Lucas didn't leave at all, that it was a deception, and that the king couldn't be angry. Finally, the guards were ordered to arrest Lucas and execute him.
This is the so-called scam of the century, which deceived not only the king, but the whole country.
After listening to the whole story, Angel felt that the first half might be true, but the second half was fake.
If Lucas was executed, then why was his ship in the Devil's Sea, and how did he write his logbook when he died? The last log is clearly recorded, it has been more than thirty days since he returned to the mainland, and during these days no one believed him, and all the people who went out accused him of being a liar.
It had been more than thirty days since he had returned, and he had already died, so how could he still be left to hang out, so it was clear that the king did not execute Lucas in the end. As for why he didn't kill Lucas, it's hard to figure out now.
However, as long as he knows this information, Angel can roughly confirm that the people of Song of the Deep Sea or Xia Lu Hailing should not know that Lucas committed suicide by jumping into a well in the end. Then, it should not be noticeable that he went to investigate the matter of the well in secret.
......
Devil's Sea, near Silver Palm.
Slieu looked at the blisters in front of him, and his eyebrows furrowed tightly: "I can't find a clue in the city of Lost Songs?" No, definitely not, Tuvalu has already asked, there must be a clue in Lucas's hometown, Jiebo, you take a closer look, maybe you are not careful?"
At this time, Jiebo, who was in the sky above the city of Lost Songs, watched a blister emerge from the sharp horn of the narwhalal whale. He listened carefully to the information inside, and after a while, he pinched his eyebrows helplessly.
Tuvalu is a prophetic wizard whose faction is not one of the three main divisions such as the "River of Fate", but a niche and very special genre called the "Bell of Question".
It is almost impossible for Tuvalu to be wrong about what he asked from the Bell of Questioning. In other words, Lucas must have left some clues in the city of Lost Songs.
Moreover, Jiebo also found out that the people of Xia Lu Hailing also appeared in the city of Lost Joy Song, and the prophetic wizard standing behind them should also be given some instructions.
"Prophecy, prophecy, why can't you directly predict what the clue is!" Jie Bo scratched his scalp with some annoyance, but he also knew that this matter was actually no wonder to predict the wizard, and he just muttered a few words.
Many times, the fog is not prophesied that the wizard wants to get rid of it. Moreover, the prophecy system is actually the same as other departments, the more important this matter, the greater the backlash.
Even if they haven't even entered the mysterious space, they just get an important clue about the item, and they can determine the outcome of the prophetic wizard with the maximum result.
In other words, even if he got a clue, in the end, the item was intercepted halfway, and the prophecy of the wizard's backlash was also based on the value of that item.
It's not that they don't touch important clues, but they are powerless, they can't find it and don't say it, and it's more likely that they will die at the touch.
While Japo was upset, another blister appeared, and it was still the voice of Slieu.
"I read Lucas's profile and give you two suggestions. First, you can start with the boat he sailed, and second, Lucas's final ending should be strange, and you can also start here. Remember, be sure to find out what Lucas has to do with that mysterious space, and why the prophecy wizard first received the prophecy pointed to this little-known Lucas...... What about it?"
After hearing this, Jiebo landed in a hidden courtyard, and as soon as he entered, more than a dozen wizard apprentices saluted him, and these apprentices dressed in different clothes had more or less hidden fish scale patterns on their bodies, which showed that they were all from the song of the deep sea.
"Since there is no news about Lucas's family property, he will evacuate the people first. There were two teams, one to check the boat that Lucas was on, and the other to check Lucas's death. Jiebo said lightly.
"Understood. The crowd dispersed, and only one person remained.
It was a petite-looking woman, her eyes were white and there were no eyeballs, but it didn't affect her ability to observe the world with her mental power.
"White, why are you still here?"
The woman known as Bai lowered her head and said softly: "My lord, I accidentally detected a strange wizard apprentice in Widow's Street that day, and the other party obviously discovered the abnormality on Widow's Street, but because my innate ability is to be hidden, the other party did not notice me. ”
"Oh, maybe it's Xia Lu Hailing, don't worry about them. ”
"The man was a man. ”
Jiebo was stunned, Xia Lu Hailing was full of women, and it was impossible for a man to be recognized by the basket witch.
"What does that man look like? Jie Bo asked curiously.
Bai took a portrait directly from behind her, obviously she had been prepared.
Jiebo glanced at it, frowned slightly, and muttered to himself, "Is it him?"
Jet Bo looked at Shiro and asked, "Has this man been to Widow's Street, and what has he done these days?"
Now that Bai has discovered the other party, he will obviously follow up.
Bai did not disappoint Jiebo either, and replied, "He didn't go into Widow's Street, but walked around the nearby square, and he also bought a wishing chime and hung it on the wishing tree." This is his note that I later copied. ”
Jet Bo looked at it, but didn't see anything wrong. However, I am a little curious about who the "Mentor Jon" is, judging from the content of the note, it seems that he is sick, maybe it is Angell's mentor when he was mortal?
Jetbot didn't pay attention to the note, but continued to listen to Bai Shu.
"Because the other party's strength is too strong, I basically can't catch the other party's movements, I only know that he lives in the New Ross Earl's Palace. It is not clear what he was doing these two days, but on the day he arrived at the Earl's Court, I inquired from the servants of the Earl's Court, and he seemed to have tested the talents of the others for most of the night. ”
Hearing this, Jie Bo nodded slightly: "I know, you don't have to worry about his words." He shouldn't have anything to do with Lucas's business, just came to find the gifted. ”
Bai: "What do you mean, my lord, that he is the guide who took over the task of guidance?"
Jet Bo nodded: "That's right. ”
"And should I pay attention to him?"
"Forget it. Jabbo said secretly in his heart that since Angel had found the wizard apprentice in Widow's Street, but he didn't go in, he guessed that it was the aftermath of that day's events.
Since he put on a posture that the well water does not interfere with the river water, there is no need for Jiebo to offend a promising alchemist, not to mention that the other party's strength is not weak. With its powerful illusion, coupled with that firework griffin, even if it is out of the nest, it is a food delivery.
Everyone simply took a step back.
......
Unrell didn't know that he had actually been exposed to the intelligence network of the Song of the Deep Sea. It was also thanks to his caution that he did not go to Widow's Street after discovering the transcendent, otherwise Jiebo might not have let him go.
At this point, Ingres was looking at a map handed over by Nit.
It recorded the location of the wells of each household in detail, and to Angel's delight, not to mention the area he demarcated, there were not many wells in the entire Lost Song City, which greatly reduced his workload.
"Because there are several wells in the house, I thought that every household had a well, and I thought it might be a cumbersome task. I didn't expect to find out that there are so few wells in the Lost Music Song Market. My friend told me that there are several freshwater rivers crossing in the city, and when there is no shortage of water, there are many fewer people repairing wells. Nite said.
The fewer wells, the faster the elimination.
In addition, Nite marked the time of construction next to each well, and many wells of indefinite time were also marked with a general range, so that Angels was able to quickly narrow the range to a minimum.
