Pioneering

Chapter 46 Night Detective
As the saying goes, benefits and risks coexist. After hearing what the strange cat said, Zhong Ming instantly realized that he is likely to obtain rich benefits beyond imagination.

Of course, Mr. Zhong would choose to dig to the bottom first, to feel how deep the muddy water is.

If the risk exceeds the benefit, Master Zhong will run away decisively.

At sunset, in the best hotel in an unnamed town.

Master Zhong Ming still planned to inquire about it before going to match up with the shapeshifter, so he took a group of people to the town to find the best hotel for a temporary stay.

As always, Zhong Ming and Kesha Lina shared a room, and Ange shared a room with each other.

In Zhong Ming's room.

"This cute cat, how about your new owner planning to give you a name?" Zhong Ming held a small dried fish and kept shaking it in front of the strange cat.

"Cut~" The strange cat turned its head away disdainfully.

Seeing this, Zhong Ming gritted his teeth and took out a magic crystal from the interspatial ring, picked it up and shook it in front of the strange cat.

"Hmm~" The strange cat's nose sniffed unconsciously, looking intoxicated.

But it glanced at Zhong Ming who was looking at it playfully, immediately controlled its figure, and squatted in front of Zhong Ming.

"Hey~" Zhong Ming chuckled, scraped off some powder from the magic crystal, poured it on the dried fish, put it in front of the strange cat on a silver plate.

After working hard for most of the day, and being threatened by Zhong Ming from time to time, the hungry and strange cat couldn't bear it any longer, and rushed to the plate and began to eat.

After the strange cat ate the dried fish, it was held up by the energy of the magic crystal powder until it lay on the ground, unable to move, lazily licking its own hair.

He is soft on people, but short on mouth when eating people.The subsequent negotiations went very smoothly.

……

After a while of negotiating.

Zhong Ming said sincerely: "So, let's make a deal, you push me up, follow the plan, no matter if you succeed or not, I will let you go free, how about it?"

The strange cat pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly.

"Have a good cooperation?" Zhong Mingchao stretched out his right hand to the strange cat.

A right paw rested softly on Zhong Ming's hand.

"Oh, by the way, what do you think of your name Celica?" Zhong Ming began to tease the cat enthusiastically again.

……

In the middle of the night, Zhong Ming summoned Herta to protect Kesarina, and he rode Anmir, hugged the strange cat Celica, and prepared to explore the depth of the story.

In this story, everyone is extremely suspicious in Zhong Ming's eyes, but under the eyes of his true vision, the strange cat and the youngest son of the old miller can see through his underwear. What a moth.

As for who is more suspicious between the doppelganger and Earl Layton, Zhong Ming thinks that Earl Layton, who is more suspicious than Unoli pretending to be a nobleman and even trying to do something with the strange cat, is more suspicious.

In a short while, relying on An Mir's quickness, Zhong Ming crossed the county and came to the vicinity of Earl Leighton's castle.

After spraying the scent-disappearing potion and the concealing potion, releasing the invisibility technique, and putting on a more ceremonial black dress, Zhong Ming started his stealth.

Oh, it's useless for Celica to stay on the lookout outside the castle anyway.

Relying on this professional equipment and a strong physique capable of flying over walls, Zhong Ming successfully bypassed the outer fort, curtain wall, and tower.

Zhong Ming, who sneaked into the storage room on the first floor, heard some quarrels.

At this time, the servants and the butler had already hid outside the main building wisely. After all, if they heard something they should not listen to, they might not be able to see the blue sun under the corona the next day.

Zhong Ming found that there seemed to be not many people, so he became bolder and tiptoed towards the quarrel on the second floor.

Zhong Ming released his mental power slightly, observing the movement in the room.

"Father, Anleka and I are true love, you can't take your word for it!"

The woman who spoke was wearing a pearl crown hollowed out with gold thread, and a white silk long-sleeved dress embroidered with exquisite gold-edging patterns.

This young woman has a three-dimensional face, bright yellow-green eyes, red lips like blood, and crystal-clear skin. Her golden hair is parted in the middle, and two golden braids fall on her chest. You can vaguely see her fit. The corset highlights the good figure.

Earl Lailton looked gloomy at his daughter's slightly swollen abdomen, sighed, and said earnestly: "My dear Karin, I never intend to fail to fulfill my promise, please stay calm.

Anleka is a good boy, I have never discriminated against him because of his status, and he has completed the tasks I assigned him brilliantly, I have no reason to refuse him.

But now, the two enemies are getting married suddenly, what will the relatives of the Sford family and Huster family think?What would the surrounding nobles, large and small, think, and what would the Grand Duke think?
Will they suspect that our two families are engaged in some conspiracy?Will you secretly investigate the two of you?

Anleka's identity can't stand the investigation! "

After listening to Earl Laidon's words, Karin asked anxiously: "Then what should we do? Father, when will Anleka and I be able to be together in an open and aboveboard manner?"

"I, I..." Karin, who was speechless in a hurry, stroked her belly, not knowing what to say to her father.

"Don't worry, my precious princess, the right time is not far away, and you will be able to stay and fly with Anleka soon!" Earl Layton comforted.

"But in my stomach..." Karin still said unwillingly.

Earl Lailton patted his chest and assured him, "Karin, don't worry, I will guarantee that your wedding will be held in a splendid manner within a month or two at the most."

……

After some reassurance, Karin also walked out of the room, stepped on her leather shoes, and walked back to a bedroom on the second floor.

Earl Lailton stood at the door of the study, staring at Karin as she left and disappeared, then turned and walked into the bedroom.

"Did you find out about the cat-shaped monster that came yesterday?"

Leighton flipped through an old book on the shelf and asked without looking back.

Out of nowhere, a deep and hoarse reply came: "I found out.

An ordinary wild cat was adopted by an old miller. After staying in the magic stone mine in the Sford family's territory for a long time, it was impregnated with magic power and turned into a black iron monster. It should be still in its infancy. Expect.

As for the owner behind it, it is just the youngest son of the miller, lucky enough to inherit this magical beast, neither a wizard nor a knight, no threat at all, very easy to control. "

Earl Layton was sitting in front of the desk, tapping the table with his right index finger, and said with a rather uneasy heart:

"Oh, Anleka is a good boy, and she is also infatuated with Karin.

If he wasn't a shapeshifter, he would actually be a good match for Karin.

But now, for the cause of the Schuster family, for Karin, I can only ask him to sacrifice himself! "
