Quenched long order

Chapter 130 The Disaster of Madness
Medal of Honor Center.

In the archives room, the relevant personnel of the investigation team are reviewing the information in their hands, and there are far more people who came to investigate than expected.

"We have to investigate everyone."

After receiving the authorization of the city lord Martin and the captain of the defense, the investigation team has settled in the Medal of Honor Center.

Rooney stood in the hall, looking out the door, with a gloomy face, he felt as if he had become an outsider.

The gate that was originally unguarded now has four more unfamiliar guards. The armor on the guards is not the style of the guards of Westwood Port, but belongs to the Stewart investigation team.

These four people were arranged by the Stewart investigation team.

During the period, some disaster hunters came to ask, but after seeing the current situation of the Medal of Honor Center, they all left silently. Even if Rooney asked to stay, he couldn't get back.

Although these disaster hunters are not quenchers, they will not leave any relics after being killed, but they also have property savings, and they may also be murdered for money, and some even have their lives on their backs. However, playing by ear is the best way to avoid danger.

These disaster hunters came to Westwood Port precisely because Westwood Port is open enough, relatively safe, and has development prospects. Now, with the mysterious black fog appearing at the sea level, the atmosphere in Westwood Port has become very So dignified, it seems that just a little spark can detonate the entire Westwood Port and engulf this prosperous port city into a sea of ​​flames.

At the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, the appeasement of the owner of the Medal of Honor can only deceive ordinary people, and it has no effect at all on them.

Only those who live by disasters know how terrible disasters are.

Rooney knew that the Medal of Honor Center was over. Unless the city lord Martin was willing to use a large amount of funding to support it afterwards, no one would care about it, and he could only deceive newcomers who didn't know anything.

Obviously, there are two problems with this idea. The first is whether there is an afterthought in Westwood Port, and the second is the funding from the city lord Martin.

It's getting dark.

After Rooney consulted the members of the investigation team, he left alone, and he seemed to be an outsider.

He was about to go home in a carriage, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

It was Saul.

Rooney frowned slightly, changed his mind about taking the car, and walked in the direction of Sauer.

Saul's figure started to retreat and entered the alley.

Seeing this, Rooney pulled the collar with both hands, and walked over quickly.

……

A deserted alley.

Sauer stood in the shadows, waiting for Rooney to arrive.

The incident with the Mance family has basically been resolved, so he came to tell Rooney the situation, which is considered a finishing touch. By the way, he asked about the progress of the statue of the King of the Black Domain.

Regarding Ivan, according to Kraut, it is best not to let anyone know. After all, in addition to having the ability to travel through time and space, Ivan also has a very strange appearance compared to ordinary people.

Therefore, Kraut suggested that Mariela take Ivan to move and move to a relatively remote place. Of course, if you don't want to, you can give him to raise him.

Ivan's ability to travel through time and space is very valuable to alchemists, and Kraut is also an alchemist.

The following people also discussed the entrustment fee and material fee. Because of Ivan's relationship, Kraut did not embarrass Mrs. Mariela, as long as the Mance house and other properties were used on Ivan.

"I was trying to find you."

Rooney spoke first, walking while talking.

"But I don't know where you live, no, it's better not to know."

He shook his head.

"What happened?" Saul asked. When he came to the Medal of Honor Center, he saw the guards of the investigation team stationed at the door. For safety reasons, he did not enter it, but waited aside.

When he first met Rooney, he did the same thing.

Rooney took a few steps forward, then looked around.

"No one around is eavesdropping." Sauer's air perception ability has been activated, and there is no other obvious breathing in the surroundings except him and Rooney.

Rooney nodded, took a deep breath, and said:
"There is a tower-level astrologer who spied on Stewart Island with the help of the starry sky."

When Sauer heard this, his pupils contracted and his eyes widened. If he hadn't been standing in the shadows now, Rooney might have noticed the strange expression on his face.

Rooney informed Sauer of the information he knew, and has been observing Sauer's performance.

After listening to Saul, he fell into deep thought.

I have been so careful, but I was able to be found out, a Lita-level astrologer...

The tower level is still above the big level, and its strength is too much beyond me, maybe this is how it will be noticed.

Thinking about it carefully, it’s not surprising that on Stewart Island, the mystic is not in his comfort zone, and he can still use the secret source to divination the miner Sean, and it’s not impossible for an astrologer who is good at divination to detect my existence .

But the description is very strange. There are no survivors on Stewart Island, but some "people" escaped from the island. Is it because the soul is used as the basis for judgment?

If this is the case, it seems that this road is dead, otherwise, once the investigation team discovers my existence, I don't know what interrogation methods will be used to deal with me.

Thinking of this, Saul looked up at Rooney, ready to find a reason to prevaricate.

"You don't have to answer me."

Before Sauer could speak, Rooney spoke first, and he waved his hand.

"You have your own ideas, and I have mine too. There is no need to tell me the details. This matter is beyond my ability."

"Besides, you may not be able to rest assured on my side. Although your information says about blood power, they have already started to investigate the commission itself. In addition, my subordinates are not tight-lipped. It is only a matter of time before they find you."

"With the investigation team's current search efforts, I don't think they will ignore your existence."

"As a citizen of Westwood Port, it is obviously the best way to report you. After all, your appearance is likely to be related to the black fog on the horizon."

"However, as Rooney, the person who completed the disaster commission with you, I personally don't think you are a bad person, and you may just be a victim of this disaster, but it doesn't matter what I think, you are a smart person, for sure Know what I mean."

Having said that, Rooney sighed.

leave?

Sauer thought of the scene when he first came to Westwood Port, as if it was yesterday.

In fact, it has only been four days since he came to Ximu Port to do his best.

"I see, thanks."

He nodded, turned and left.

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is meaningless to say more. As Rooney said, the more you get in touch with Rooney, the easier it is to be exposed.

……

Rooney went home.

As soon as he returned, he felt that the air in the house was unusual.

"Director Rooney, according to the guards, you should have arrived home earlier, but you are late."

In the living room, a man's voice came, but the voice was very calm, giving people a sense of peace of mind.

Rooney came to the living room and saw a man standing by the window.

The man has short black hair, sharp eyes, a loose black coat on his upper body, and a pair of brown boots under his feet. Strangely, there is a crow standing on his shoulder.

The crow turned his head, red eyes staring at Rooney.

Rooney looked at the man and the bird in front of him, smiled, and resolved the embarrassment in the air. Then, he reached out and unbuttoned his uniform, and replied at the same time:
"I feel a bit boring at work, and I have to walk outside for a while, and there is no saying that I am late when I go home, and I don't know that someone is waiting for me."

His tone was soft.

"I don't know what your name is?"

He hangs his coat on a light-colored hanger.

"Crow." The man named Crow stared at Rooney.

"Want something to drink?" Rooney walked towards the kitchen.

"I'm looking for someone." Crow stopped Rooney.

"Looking for someone?" Rooney smiled and stopped, "Who are you looking for?"

"Sauer." The crow answered very simply.

After hearing this answer, Rooney blinked and replied:
"I don't know where Saul is."

"Do not lie to you."

He turned to look at the crow, spreading his hands.

"Also, can I ask why you are looking for him?"

Although he already knew the answer in his heart, the basic disguise was still needed.

"I'm chasing down a source of disaster, named Bury, who looks strange and has a cat's head. According to my companion's prediction, this person named Saul may have a clue." Crow directly stated the reason , without any cover.

"Oh." Rooney responded casually, and then, his eyes widened, feeling that something was wrong, "Wait, aren't you from the investigation team?"

"Investigation team?" Crow shook his head, "I belong to the First Legion of the Fanze Empire, and the department is confidential, so I can't tell you."

"I see..." Rooney looked at the person in front of him again, and then he frowned, because, to a certain extent, the man named Crow in front of him would be more dangerous if he was not a member of the investigation team.

Chasing down a source of disaster...

In other words, there is a source of disaster in West Wood Harbor.

Rooney couldn't help but touch his forehead.

"What the hell is going on? In just two days, it seems that the whole world has changed."

He muttered softly.

"Besides, the Fanze Empire... the border and the kingdom have frictions from time to time, but the relationship is not too bad. This time they came directly to Westwood Port..."

"I hope it's just a dream."

"Sorry, I really don't know where Saul is."

After speaking, he sighed.

Now, he is very grateful that he is very wise and did not let Sauerdo tell, otherwise, once he really knows where Sauer lives, he may be detected by other methods, but now, he has a clear conscience, after all, everything is true.

"I didn't mean to threaten." Crow glanced at the window, "I don't know Director Rooney, have you heard of Little Fangli City?"

Rooney shook his head.

"Then, I wonder if Director Rooney has heard of the 'oil and water flying into the sky' incident?" Crow seemed not to be angry, and his tone remained the same.

"Flying oil and water?" Rooney felt as if he had heard this word before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Suddenly, a memory fragment flashed in his mind.

That was the scene when Hume, the garrison captain of Westwood Port, was chatting with him.

Regarding the classification of disasters, there are generally three types. As for the hazard levels of disasters, it is not convenient to subdivide them because the types and impacts of disasters are very complicated.

For example, the influence of the statue of the King of the Black Territory, although the power of disaster is very powerful and the effect is very strange, but in fact, for most people in Westwood Port, it can be regarded as no threat.

But as a person who needs to deal with the disaster to eliminate its influence, a rough classification is still needed.

Considering that everything is for the whole, therefore, the hazard level of disasters is simply divided into people, villages, towns, cities, and countries. In short, everything depends on the scope of influence of disasters.

At the human level, catastrophic events such as the statue of the king of the black domain are mainly aimed at individuals.

Villages, towns, cities, countries, etc. are divided according to the size of the scope. Among them, the scope of villages and towns is relatively vague, and the standards of different places are different, so they usually like to be directly called village and town level.

Among the catastrophe events, there is a type of disaster called the "disaster of madness".

The source of this kind of disaster is all people, or in other words, they used to be ordinary people, but for some reason, this kind of ordinary people have the ability to directly change the world through thinking.

The most typical example is the so-called "oil and water flying into the sky" incident.

In a certain small town, an ordinary person obtained this ability, and after he possessed the ability of delusional disaster, he imagined a situation, if oil can float on the surface of water, and there is a lot of water in the human body, if the On rainy days, just replace all the water in your body with oil, then...

At that time, Rooney laughed outright when he heard this.

He complained, "So, all the people are flying?"

However, when he saw the serious expression on Hume's face, he realized that perhaps, what he said was the truth.

Rooney retracted his thoughts.

"I've heard a little bit." He nodded.

"Ximu Port, it is very likely that the same thing will happen." Crow's tone became serious, very serious, as if this thing had already happened.

"You said... similar things will happen?" Rooney couldn't help swallowing.

The so-called "disaster of madness" has at least one city in its scope of damage, so at least it is at the city level.

Westwood is perhaps facing the most dangerous situation ever.

"I'm not sure, not all the places where Bury has been to have wildfires." Crow shook his head.

Rooney didn't hear any words that made him feel at ease.

"Alright alright……"

If it's a disaster of madness, wait...

Why would Sauer be connected with that source of disaster?

Is he also...

Thinking of this, Rooney couldn't help shaking his head.

"But Ximugang can't bear it, can't it?" Crow looked out the window, "That black fog is also a big trouble."

"Is there any evidence?" Rooney took the clothes in his hand and put them on again.

"Do you think this is evidence?" Crow rolled up the sleeve of his left hand, exposing his forearm. However, the frightening thing was that his forearm turned out to be white bones, and there was not even any flesh and blood on the bones.

"I'll think of a way." Rooney put on his clothes.

……

Owl Hotel.

Saul planned to pack up his things first, and then go to Kraut.

However, when he returned to his room, a discovery made him sleepless.

On the map he bought, seven locations were marked with red circles, one of which was the location of the Mance family.

On the back of the map, there is a sentence.

"There are still six issues to be resolved."

Someone came to his room and knew that he solved the disaster of the Mance family and got the statue of the king of the black domain.

The problem is that almost no one knows about it except himself.

The only possibility is that he was followed by someone on the way back, and he has the ability to sense the air, even so, he didn't even notice the other party's existence.
