The Witcher’s Nightmare Wagon

Vol 2 Chapter 69: new task

In the evening, the Duke's Palace.

In order to participate in this dinner party, Sigmon spent a lot of money and went to the clothing store to buy a new set of clothes. A man who was about to become Abetus' upstart was still suffering from heartache when he paid for it.

The so-called gentleman suits of this era are outrageously expensive.

People rely on clothes and put on a new set of clothes. Sigmon is tall and handsome, and he looks heroic in the mirror.

The only fly in the ointment is... what's the situation? Why hasn't the hair grown out yet? It has been a while since the promotion, but the shaved hair still shows no sign of growing.

This made Sigmon unable to help but wonder if the strange paint that Charlotte had painted on her body on the day of her promotion would have added a dye with a hairless effect.

Although his bald head is still handsome and compelling, he is wearing a braised egg.

"gentlemen……"

Before leaving the clothing store, the male store owner took Sigmon to a room in the back with a mysterious face, and then proudly found a... wig.

"I'm not bald!" Sigmund had a black line on his face.

The shopkeeper raised his head, looked at Sigmon's bright head under the light and shook his head gently, "Let's face it, this gentleman."

While talking about him, he uncovered his scalp... Ah, it's not an extraordinary event, the shop owner uncovered the wig on top of his head.

"20 years ago, I thought the same way as you. I used to imagine that it would grow again, but it didn't..."

Sigmund fled, and he was still thinking about this issue until dinner. Could this be the price of power?

The dinner was very casual, only Sigmund and Duke Dressel dined. The two discussed some nostalgia, the establishment and operation of the telephone company, the manufacture and promotion of steam-powered engines, and so on.

Near the end, the duke entered the official topic.

"I want to give you a task." The Duke put down the wine glass in his hand and wiped his mouth, "Investigation of the follow-up incident at the naval base."

Sigmund sat up straight.

"Pablo is not married and has no children. I have known him for nearly 20 years. He is not very strong. He was promoted to this position by a little bit of credit. His betrayal is unreasonable."

"Recently, in addition to the southern waters, the western side of Elam has also been unstable. Pirate attacks have occurred frequently. The combination of the two incidents makes it hard to believe that this is a pure coincidence."

"In the southern sea area, there are only Konos and scattered island countries. The situation there is chaotic and it is close to the Sea of ​​Chaos. Even the church is not willing to waste its power in that place, but the west is completely different."

"Akad." Sigmund said.

The Duke nodded, "Akkad is a subsidiary country of the Church. The entire country has been dedicated to the Oracle Church for many years. Behind them is the vast Western Continent, which is the foundation of the Church's strength."

"And the situation there right now is very disturbing."

"You suspect that the Church of Oracle is behind all this?" Sigmund asked.

"It's not a doubt, it's a certainty!"

"For so many years, there have been no major conflicts between us and Akkad, but there have been small frictions. With the admiral guarding, there should be nothing wrong in a short time, but the situation has changed recently, and the mutiny of the southern naval base has sounded the alarm for us. ."

"A new force has made the situation even more chaotic."

"So I hope you can start your investigation from Pablo's mutiny and find the leader who manipulated the chaos in the south." The Duke ordered.

"Is it because of the upcoming peace talks?" Sigmund asked, now in early August 1777, only half a year before the 20-year peace treaty.

After the end of the peace treaty, the direction of the kingdom will usher in two different directions. Under the seemingly calm situation, there are dark tides behind the scenes.

War is not impossible.

"You can tell me what support you need. There is a shortage of manpower everywhere, but as long as you need it, I can send you at least three fifth-order helpers, fourth-order, ten!"

Good guy, the duke really trusts him, Sigmund thought silently, the 6th rank are all bosses, the Demon Hunter team is short of manpower, and it is impossible to assign the 6th rank for him to drive.

Under such circumstances, it is very rare to be able to make three Tier 5s. The key is that he himself has only just entered Tier 4, and being able to dispatch such a luxurious team to cooperate with him is enough to show that he attaches great importance to himself.

"Wait before dispatching staff." Sigmon didn't get carried away. "The situation in the south is mixed. In this case, a large number of people may not be able to solve the problem. It is best to integrate into it."

Recalling all the experiences a few days ago, a thought suddenly popped into my mind.

"That Sabic, he is the first mate of a legendary battleship Abyss, and their strange shapes are not normal at all. Instead of such a clueless investigation, it is better to ask them to come to me."

"The Admiralty can issue a bounty and package me as a pirate who wants to be famous. Anyway, Pablo really died at my hands, and many people who escaped saw it."

"In addition to the dead Sabic, I will definitely be able to become famous in the southern seas in the shortest possible time. Through this identity, I can integrate into the pirate group, and it will be much easier to investigate many things."

"Aren't you afraid of the Abyss' revenge?" asked the Duke.

"The sea is vast and the information transmission is blocked. It is not that easy to catch me in the vast sea. Besides, even if I can't beat it, I still have the ability to escape."

"The Abyss is domineering at sea. I killed their first mate and got a lot of hatred, but there are also some people who have hatred for the Abyss who are willing to accept me."

"Through these people, I should be able to investigate some details of the Abyss and the forces behind them," Sigmon concluded.

"Yes, you are very thoughtful." The Duke admired.

"Then implement your plan first, and if you need help, you can notify me at any time." With that, the Duke handed Sigmon a black conch~www.readwn.com~ Use this sound transmission conch to contact me . "

After telling Sigmon how to use it and precautions, the duke continued: "This time out at sea, there are many dangers. If you encounter an unsolvable crisis, you must leave immediately."

"Put it away." Duke Dressel took out a glass bottle. "When facing a real crisis of life and death, crush it. It can save your life and send you away safely."

"You have to remember that you only need to investigate the information, and I will leave the real problems to others to solve."

"Safety first, you must come back alive!" the Duke repeatedly urged.

"Okay, is there anything else?"

"I have a question about Bablo, his spirit should have been contaminated, and he merged with an octopus monster. Before he died, he kept repeating it over and over again. He said that he should not be curious 20 years ago. , he shouldn't have peeked at that thing."

"Do you know what he's talking about?"
