Chapter 618 Investigation Team


    Under the leadership of Vanswick, Duanmu Huai and Aojisi walked through the hall with constant wailing sounds and came to the guest room on the other side. As soon as they opened the door, they saw two figures.


    One of them was a girl with long silver hair, braids, armor and berets. She had a thin sword hanging around her waist, staring at the window anxiously. Next to it was a little girl with blue braids and a hat that looked like a witch. She was curled up on the sofa, holding the teacup in front of her, not knowing what she was thinking.


    Hearing the knock on the door, both of them raised their heads and saw Van Swik, Duanmu Huai and Ojisi walking in, they all showed surprise expressions.


    "Let the two wait for a long time."


    Vanswick seemed to be good at facing this kind of scene, and he greeted him with a smile.


    "Just just now, the last two adventurers have arrived."


    "What are you talking about?"


    Duanmu Huai turned his head and stared at Vanswick.


    You don’t think of me as a kindergarten nanny.


    "I''m so sorry, because of the previous attack, our staff is really insufficient. Ah, the original booking captain was the commander of the Silver Knights, but unfortunately he died of illness, so his daughter..."


    “Emilia, my name is Emilia.”


    The silver-haired girl turned her head, stared at Duanmu Huai, put her hand on her chest and said to herself.


    "I will lead the investigation team to conduct the investigation on behalf of my father."


    “…………”


    Duanmu Huai stared at Vanswick silently, his eyes full of "You are teasing me" - Vanswick just smiled bitterly.


    "Then, please give yourself your own help, I have a step ahead."


    After saying this, Vanswick escaped, while the group stood in the awkward room, staring at each other.


    I don’t know how long it took, but Emilia coughed awkwardly.


    "Since we are going to act together, why not introduce ourselves first... Starting from me, I am Emilia, the Silver Knight. Although I am still young, I am also a member of the Silver Knights. I know that I may be a little unreliable, but I will work hard."


    After saying this, Emilia turned her eyes to the blue-haired girl next to her - perhaps because they were all in the same room before and were closer to each other?


    “………”


    Aware of Emilia''s eyes, the blue-haired girl sighed faintly.


    "Lokishi Migrutia, I am the Five Ring Warlock."


    "Staff?"


    Hearing this, Duanmu Huai''s expression moved slightly.


    “What’s the system?”


    “Plastic energy.”


    “Plastic energy…”


    Hearing the girl''s answer, Duanmu Huai was somewhat disappointed. The mages in this world can have many magical spells, some of which are even more interesting than the spells used by An and others. Especially the variation, illusion, spells and enchantment are all quite interesting.


    In contrast, what about the plastic energy system...


    To put it bluntly, it is the Five Fireball God Sect... Duanmu Huai can achieve this power by just taking a rocket launcher.


    Compared to Duanmuhuai''s disappointment, Emilia seemed a little surprised.


    "Are you a spellcaster who stepped into the fifth ring?"


    “That’s right.”


    Luo Qixi nodded, but said nothing, but just lowered her head and stared at the cup in her hand.


    "Then why did you come to Wudongcheng?"


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


    “That’s how…”


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


    “Uh, may I ask you…”


    "My name is Duanmuhuai, she is Aojis, and we are from the Inquisition."


    “…Judgement??”


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s introduction, Emilia was stunned for a moment.


    "Sorry, please forgive me for being ignorant. What kind of organization is that?"


    "Simply put, it is the organization that protects humans. Killing demons, heresies and aliens in order to protect humans is the responsibility of the Inquisition. This time, I received an invitation from Ms. Eribes to Wudong City, which is also for this."


    Duanmu Huai could sense that when he said "demon", Luo Qixi''s body stiffened slightly.


    “Huh……”


    After listening to Duanmu Huai’s explanation, Emilia seemed to breathe a sigh of relief - maybe she felt that there was finally a professional.


    "Uh, Mr. Duanmuhuai, I have a question, why do you need to wear a helmet?"


    “………………”


    Faced with Emilia''s inquiry, Duanmu Huai fell into silence.


    “…because of the curse.”


    "Curse?"


    "Yes, maybe you don''t know. I''ve been a handsome man since I was born."


    “……Ha?”


    "...After seeing me, the nurse who delivered the baby fainted on the spot. 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 for me. Even the teacher showed unprecedented fanaticism after seeing me. When I walked on the street, the girls were even more fascinated. They fainted just by seeing me. If I was watching, they would lose their minds. Therefore, for the sake of peace and tranquility of the world, I put on this armor and sealed my handsome appearance..."


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s answer, Emilia and Luo Qixi were both confused and didn''t know how to react. They looked at Duanmuhuai, then at Aojisi, who sat on Duanmuhuai''s shoulders, swaying his legs expressionlessly, looking like he was not caring.


    True or fake?


    "Cough, cough 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 on this?"


    Emilia coughed awkwardly and forced herself to get back to the topic.


    “I want to take a look at the initial investigation report first.”


    Duanmu Huai also gave his own answer.


    "The source of the plague in Wudong City should have been investigated and recorded."


    "Ah, I have this."


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s inquiry, Emilia nodded and then took out a notepad - although it seemed a little immature, she was quite prepared.


    "According to records, the plague began to spread in early winter. At the beginning, everyone thought it was just a common seasonal cold, but soon the disease worsened, and the beggar''s nest was completely destroyed. At this moment, Wu Dongcheng had found that something was wrong. Lord Nash chose to close the city immediately, but it was too late. Except for the stability of the Black Lake District, the entire Wu Dongcheng was almost infected by the plague... This plague cannot be treated, and even the magical skills of the priests and priests could not play any role, so it was spread very quickly."


    "What is the specific source of infection?"


    "Sorry, I don''t know much about this."


    "So, in the early stage of the infection, has anyone gone to the Beggar''s Nest for treatment?"


    "Um………"


    Emilia flipped through the records.


    "At the beginning of the plague, Master Duzel went to the Beggar''s Nest to rectify the patients. He would conduct a free medical consultation for the poor who could not afford to see a doctor in the Winter City every year. It was because of this that he discovered the extraordinary aspects of this plague and warned Lord Nashel in time."


    “Master Duzel?”


    “Yes, Master Duzel Kedes, he is a great druid with a reputation in Wu Winter City, and is very respected.”


    The druid is indeed better at dispensing medicines and treating diseases...


    "So where is this big druid now?"


    "I heard that he left Wudong City and went to find a way to cure the plague... I don''t know much about the specific situation."


    "Then, I suggest we go to the residence of the Great Druid."


    Duanmuhuai stood up.


    "Since he is an expert in this field, he might keep records of the early stages of the plague, and maybe we will find some clues from it."


    Emilia didn''t think there was any problem with Duanmu Huai''s proposal, and quickly nodded and agreed.


    They first went to the residence of the Great Druid in the center of Wudong City, but were told that the other party had not been back for a long time. However, the janitor still gave Emilia and others a message, that Master Duzel had a place to treat patients in the beggar''s nest. If there were any records, it should be there.


    I have to say that when I first heard this news, Emilia was still in a dilemma. After all, as a local resident, she also knew about the situation of the Beggar''s Nest. Not only were the bodies piled up there, but there were even undead creatures. Now the Guards and the Knights have completely blocked the Beggar''s Nest, and it may not be easy for them to enter...


    However, in fact, when the group came to the gate of the beggar''s nest, they saw a group of people walking happily.


    "What''s going on?"


    Seeing this scene, Emilia hurriedly asked the guards guarding the gate.


    “Isn’t the beggar’s nest completely blocked?”


    "Ah, Miss Emilia."


    Seeing Emilia, the guard also smiled.


    "Actually, it''s thanks to those adventurers."


    "Adventurer?"


    "Yes, weren''t there a group of adventurers who went to find something missing according to Ms. Aribeth''s order? Not only did they eliminate the undead creatures in the Beggar''s Nest, but they also cleaned up the cults inside. Now the Beggar''s Nest is barely considered peaceful, so everyone has begun to go home again."


    "That''s it, that''s good."


    Emilia was relieved when she heard the guard''s answer. After all, she knew that it was very difficult for the refugees who fled to leave their hometowns, not to mention that these refugees have been living outside the streets, which is not a big deal. Now that the danger of the beggar''s nest has dispersed, everyone has gone home one after another, it is somewhat of a good thing.


    “Can we go in too?”


    "certainly."


    Duanmu Huai and others also had the permission of Ms. Aribes, so they easily entered the beggar''s nest. Then, according to the previous prompts, the group finally found the "hospital" of the Great Druid.


    It was located in the corner of the Beggar''s Nest, which looked like a warehouse building. The entire building was sealed tightly, the door was locked, and even thick iron chains were tied. In this place that looked even dirty and messy than the slum, there was such a complete building, which was really surprising.


    "It''s so troublesome now, no key..."


    Looking at the iron lock that was almost bigger than her head, Emilia was also a little embarrassed. However, just as she was thinking about what to do, Duanmuhuai reached out, grabbed the iron chain, and then pulled it suddenly!


    “Dong!”


    The next moment, the iron chain as thick as a thumb broke suddenly, and then Duanmuhuai directly pulled open the wooden door and walked in with big strides.


    "Hey? Mr. Duanmu! It is illegal to break in without authorization like this!"


    “Now is not the time to care about these trivial matters.”


    Duanmuhuai walked into the warehouse and looked around, while a gleam flashed in his eyes.


    Of course, he was not just here to find clues, but it can even be said... Duanmu Huai came here to find evidence of the crime.


    That''s right, after listening to Emilia''s introduction, Duanmu Huai suspected that the big druid was probably the prisoner.


    The reason is very simple. If you are involved in corruption, you will definitely not be able to find a doctor. If the other party is not a friendly army, you will definitely have already betrayed the enemy!


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