Chapter 618 Investigation Team


    ?Led by Vanswijk, Duanmuhuai and Ojisi walked through the hall with constant wailing and came to the guest room on the other side. As soon as they opened the door, they saw two figures.


    ?One of them is a girl with long silver hair tied in braids, wearing armor and a beret. She has a thin sword hanging on her waist and is staring out the window anxiously. Sitting next to her was a little girl with blue braids and a hat that looked like a witch. She was curled up on the sofa, holding the tea cup in front of her, wondering what she was thinking.


    Hearing the knock on the door, they both raised their heads and saw Fanswick, Duanmuhuai and Ogis walking in. They all showed surprised expressions.


    “I’ve kept you two waiting for a long time.”


    ??Vanswijk seemed to be very good at dealing with this kind of situation. He smiled and said hello.


    “Just now, the last two adventurers have arrived.”


    “Are they the ones you’re talking about?”


    ?Duanmuhuai turned his head and stared at Fanswijk.


    ??Don’t you think of me as the nanny of the kindergarten?


    “I’m really sorry, because of the previous attack, we really don’t have enough manpower. Ah, originally the captain of the Silver Knights was scheduled to be the captain, but unfortunately he got sick and died, so his daughter..."


    “Emilia, my name is Emilia.”


    ?The silver-haired girl turned her head, stared at Duanmuhuai, put her hand on her chest and introduced herself.


    “I will lead the investigation team to investigate instead of my father.”


    …………”


    Duanmuhuai stared at Fanswijk in silence, his eyes full of "are you kidding me" - Fanswijk just showed a wry smile.


    “Then, please help yourself, I have to take one step in advance.”


    After saying this, Vanswijk ran away, while the group of people stood in the 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, let''s introduce ourselves first... Starting with me, I am Silver Knight Emilia. 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 my best.”


    After saying this, Emilia turned her attention to the blue-haired girl next to her - maybe it was because they were in the same room before and were relatively close to each other?


    …………”


    ? ? Sensing Emilia''s eyes, the blue-haired girl sighed lightly.


    "Luoqixi Migrutia, I am a five-ring warlock."


    “Warlock?”


    Hearing this, Duanmuhuai''s expression changed slightly.


    “What department?”


    “Plastic energy.”


    “Plastic energy……”


    Hearing the girl''s answer, Duanmu Huai was somewhat disappointed. The mages in this world know many very magical spells, some of which are even more interesting than the spells used by An and others. In particular, the spells of the transmutation, illusion, conjuration and enchantment systems are quite interesting.


    Comparatively, the plastic energy system...


    To put it bluntly, it is the Five Fireball God Cult... Duanmuhuai can achieve this kind of power with just a rocket launcher.


    Comparing Duanmuhuai’s disappointment, Amelia seemed a little surprised.


    “Are you a spell caster who has entered the fifth ring?”


    “That’s right.”


    ?Luo Qixi nodded, but didn''t say anything more. He just lowered his head and stared at the cup in his hand.


    “Then why did you come to Neverwinter?”


    …“I was just traveling around and happened to come here.”


    “That’s it…”


    Emilia nodded without asking any more questions, and then she turned her attention to Duanmuhuai - well, I have to say, just from the armor and helmet Duanmuhuai wore, it didn''t look like Be a good person.


    “Um, may I ask who you are…”


    "My name is Duanmu Huai, she is Ogis, and we are from the Tribunal."


    “…Inquisition??”


    Hearing Duanmuhuai’s introduction, Amelia was stunned for a moment.


    “Sorry, please forgive my ignorance, what kind of organization is that?”


    "Simply put, it is an organization that protects humans. It is the responsibility of the Tribunal to kill demons, heretics and aliens in order to protect humans. This time I received the invitation from Ms. Aribes and came to Neverwinter City for this reason. Come."


    Duanmuhuai could notice that when he said "devil", Luo Qixi''s body stiffened slightly.


    ?After listening to Duanmuhuai’s explanation, Amelia seemed to be relieved—perhaps she felt that there was finally a professional.


    “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."


    …………Huh?”


    "...The nurse who delivered the baby fainted 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 enthusiasm after seeing me, and when I walked on the street, the girls were even more fascinated. They would faint directly just seeing me. Watching makes me lose my mind even more, so for the sake of the peace and tranquility of the world, I put on this armor and sealed my handsome appearance..." ? ? ? "Uh..."


    ?Hearing Duanmuhuai''s answer, Amelia and Luo Qixi were confused and didn''t know how to react. They looked at Duanmuhuai, and then at Ogis - the latter was sitting on Duanmuhuai''s shoulders, swinging her legs expressionlessly, as if she didn''t care.


    Real or false?


    “Ahem, cough…then, let’s get back to the topic. Our next task is to investigate the source of the plague. Do you have any opinions in this regard?”


    Amelia coughed awkwardly and forcibly changed the topic.


    “I want to see the original investigative report first.”


    Duanmuhuai also gave his own answer.


    “Neverwinter City should also have investigated and recorded the source of the plague.”


    “Ah, I do have this.”


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s question, Amelia nodded, and then took out a notepad - although it seemed a little green, she was well prepared.


    "According to records, the plague began to spread in early winter. At first, everyone thought it was just a common seasonal cold. But soon, the symptoms became more and more serious, and it didn''t take long for the Beggar''s Nest to completely fall. At this moment, Neverwinter City had already discovered that something was wrong. , Lord Nasher chose to seal the city immediately, but it was too late. Except for the Black Lake District, which was still relatively stable, almost the entire Neverwinter City had been infected by the plague... This kind of plague cannot be treated, even by priests and priests. Divine magic has no effect at all, so the infection spreads quickly."


    “What is the specific source of infection?”


    “Sorry, I’m not sure about this.”


    “So, in the early stages of infection, has anyone gone to Beggar’s Nest for treatment?”


    "Um………"


    ?Emilia flipped through the records.


    "In the early days of the plague, Master Duzel went to the Beggar''s Nest to treat the patients. Every year he would conduct a free clinic for the poor people in Neverwinter who could not afford to see a doctor. That''s how he discovered the extraordinary nature of this plague. Office, timely warning to Lord Nasher."


    “Master Duzel?”


    “Yes, Master Duzel Kedes, he is a well-reputed archdruid in Neverwinter and is very respected.”


    Druids are indeed better at dispensing medicine and treating 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 specific circumstances.”


    "Then, I suggest that we go to the residence of the great druid."


    Duanmu Huai stood up.


    “Since he is an expert in this field, he might have kept records of the early days of the plague, and maybe we can find some clues from them.”


    Amelia didn’t think there was any problem with Duanmuhuai’s proposal and quickly nodded in agreement.


    They first went to the Archdruid''s residence in the center of Neverwinter City, only to be told that the Archdruid had not come back for a long time. However, the gatekeeper still gave Emilia and others the news that Master Duzel was begging. There is a place in the nest used to diagnose and treat patients. If there are any records, 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 there piles of corpses, but there were even undead creatures there. At present, the security team and the Knights have completely sealed off the Beggars'' 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 walking in happily.


    “What’s going on?”


    Seeing this scene, Emilia also hurriedly asked the guard guarding the door.


    “Isn’t the Beggar’s Nest completely blocked?”


    “Ah, Miss Amelia.”


    Seeing Emilia, the guard also showed a smile.


    “Actually, it’s all thanks to those adventurers.”


    “Adventurer?”


    "That''s right, weren''t there a group of adventurers who followed Ms. Aribes'' order to find something missing? Not only did they eliminate the undead creatures in the Beggar''s Nest, but they also eliminated the cult inside. , now the Beggar’s Nest is barely at peace, so everyone is starting to go home again.”


    “That’s it, that’s good.”


    Hearing the guard''s answer, Amelia also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she also knew that it was very difficult for the refugees to leave their homes, not to mention that it was not a problem for these refugees to live on the streets outside. Now among the beggars It''s somewhat of a good thing that the danger in the nest has dissipated and everyone has gone home.


    “Can we go in too?”


    "certainly."


    Duanmu Huai and others also had the permission of Ms. Irebes, so they easily entered the Beggar''s Nest. Then, following the previous prompts, the group finally found the "hospital" of the great druid.


    It was a building that looked like a warehouse in the corner of Beggars Nest. The entire building was sealed tightly, the door was locked, and even tied with thick iron chains. In this place, it looked even dirtier than a slum. It''s really surprising that such a complete building exists in this place.


    “This is really troublesome, I don’t have the key...”


    Looking at the iron chain that was almost bigger than her head, Amelia was a little embarrassed. However, just when she was thinking about what to do, Duanmu Huai reached out her hand, grabbed the iron chain, and then pulled it suddenly. !


    “Boom!”


    ?The next moment, the thumb-thick iron chain broke immediately, and then Duanmu Huai opened the wooden door and strode in.


    “Hey? Mr. Duanmu! It is illegal to break in like this!”


    “Now is not the time to worry about such small things.”


    Duanmu Huai walked into the warehouse and looked around, with a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.


    ?Of course he is not just here to look for clues, it can even be said... Duanmu Huai is here to look for evidence.


    That’s right, after listening to Emilia’s introduction, Duanmuhuai suspected that the Archdruid might be the culprit.


    The reason is very simple. For matters related to the scale of corruption, you can’t go wrong with finding a doctor. If the other party is not a friendly force, it must have rebelled against the enemy!


    Then, let me see if this great druid is innocent.
