Chapter 1092 Arrest Warrant

…

"So, you plan to help him?" Mar Tokat frowned, "A remnant of the church?"

After taking Qiao into custody, the captain of the guard immediately called the special envoy from Glow City and recounted the matter from beginning to end - he was not worried that the three families would have any intentions on the treasure, after all, no one knew its true identity. Useful, if it is truly a rare treasure with powerful power, then it would not have been able to escape from the Dawn in the first place.

"It's not up to me to decide whether to help or not," Sean said unconcernedly. "The order I got was to find the whereabouts of the treasure as much as possible. Now that I finally have a seemingly credible clue, I naturally have to take further steps. Just confirm. As for what actions to take next, it will be decided by your Majesty." He paused and looked at the other party, "So, do you have any good plans, Mr. Special Envoy?"

Although the First Army is invincible, it must have an enemy. Searching for spies hiding in the dark is not what soldiers are good at. It is undoubtedly more appropriate to leave this matter to the three major families.

"Honestly, I wish I had never heard of this," Mal shrugged. "If it weren't for the church, Sister Quinn wouldn't have been expelled from the Dawn. Maybe she would be my eldest brother's wife now... ahem, But since you have spoken, I can only help to the end. Although there have been many people in the town recently, it is not difficult to find a specific group of people."

"A specific group?"

"That's right, since Cage Mountain is insurmountable, the closest road from Wolf Heart to here is the sea route - the seaport city, Coral Bay, located northeast of Thorn Town." Mal said with his fingers, "Come from the east. Come on, the number of people will be ten to fifteen, and there may also be teams with Wolf Heart accents or clothing styles. By screening according to these conditions, the target can be narrowed down to two or three groups of people - no more than five groups at most."

"Because there is only one Coral Bay in the big city to the east?" Sean said thoughtfully. Just like the people who come to Neverwinter from the east may come from all over Graycastle, but those who arrive in Neverwinter from the west are basically only devils. "When you find these people, detain them all and interrogate them again?"

"That's what I mean." Mal nodded, "And the spy you are looking for is most likely among them."

“The question is who is going to do this?”

"Is there anyone who knows the situation in the town better than the local mice? Problems that can be solved by just giving money are usually not problems." Mal smiled and stroked his chest. "In order to show the sincerity of the three major families, this fee is provided by The Tokat family will take the responsibility."

…

In a private house on the outskirts of Thorn Town, Hagrid, the butler of the Earl of Grand Duke Island, was impatiently driving away the mosquitoes around him.

There wasn't even a tent for ventilation in this damn shabby place. He thought angrily. The flying insects were everywhere before summer arrived. In two months, wouldn't it be impossible to treat people at all?

However, until now, there is still no clue as to why the Ceremony Cube glows.

He was not even sure if the King of Graycastle really came for the treasures in the Cursed Temple.

See what the other party did during this period?

According to the intelligence collected by his subordinates, the Graycastle exploration team arrived in Thorn Town two months ago. After that, they opened mountains and built roads and recruited death row prisoners. They were afraid that the world would not know about it. They also dug up the temple halfway up the mountain. Bricks and stones were transported down from the mountain every day and placed in an open space that was always guarded.

It would be reasonable to say that all of this is to find treasures that may be buried, but the fact is that Graycastle seems to be much more enthusiastic about stones than treasures. He had observed the open space from a distance. After the bricks and stones transported from the temple were evenly dried, they would be loaded onto carriages and sent to Coral Bay in the east.

Hagrid really couldn't understand why the King of Graycastle wanted these black stones.

He also tried every means to steal a few temple stones from the port and ordered people to bring them back to Count Lorenzo. However, the result was as he expected, and the Ceremonial Cube did not regain its legendary power.

The key thing that caused the reaction of the ancient treasure must be something else.

"Sir, we have brought the person you are looking for," suddenly a subordinate opened the door curtain and reported to him.

"Let him in," Hagrid quickly tightened his tie and sat up straight.

"yes!"

Then a man who looked like a villager was pushed into the house. He knelt on the ground and raised his head carefully, "Sir, my name is Nav. Do you want to go up the mountain? I can take you anywhere as long as you don't cross the peak line. you--"

"I heard that when the Graycastle people first arrived at Cage Mountain, you were the guide they hired?" Hagrid interrupted.

"Y-yes...sir."

"Snapped."

Hagrid directly threw a small cloth bag in front of him, "There are twenty golden dragons in it. As long as you can tell me something that interests me, it will be yours."

"Of course, sir, I will tell you everything!" Naf responded excitedly.

"Let me tell you the whole situation first. Don't miss every detail." Hagrid looked at the person at his feet with contempt and leaned back on his chair.

When Naf told about a group of people climbing Cage Mountain, he suddenly opened his eyes, "Wait, what did you just say?"

"The witch lady called Akima——"

"No, the latter sentence!"

"Well, she held up a coin and said, this way."

"Coin?" Hagrid asked, "What kind?"

"It looks very ordinary. It doesn't look like a silver wolf or a bronze eagle." Naf thought for a moment, "By the way, there isn't even a pattern on it. It seems to be just a polished sheet."

"Then the witch has been holding it?" Hagrid felt that he had vaguely grasped the key.

"Most of the time," the guide said suddenly, "After hearing what you said, I also remembered that the group of people was dominated by witches in the direction of travel, and every time they turned, the witch would put the coin on the In front of me, it’s as if I’m staring at something.”

Damn it, it really has something to do with these alien species!

Hagrid clenched his fists, "That witch named Akima... where is she now?"

"I, I don't know," Naf shook his head repeatedly, "She left Thorn Town within a few days, probably... went back to Graycastle?"

If it was only a few days, then the other party must have been away from Congshan before he set off, but the reaction of the Festival Rubik's Cube did not stop, which means... the coin was left here? Hagrid quickly calculated in his mind that it was probably not a coin at all, but a "key" that the King of Graycastle had found from other ruins. Since it was such a big deal, the custodian must be the leader of the exploration team.

He has already found out this information clearly. Currently, the two highest-ranking people in the Graycastle team are the commander-in-chief Sean and the special envoy Mal of the three major families.

Compared with the second son from a noble family, a king's bodyguard seems to be more easily tempted - most castles in the world are often captured from the inside.

How many golden dragons do you need to prepare to open a breakthrough for him?

Five hundred...or a thousand?

But Hagrid knew that no matter how much it was, the Earl would be willing to pay for the secret of the Rubik's Cube.

As long as I could get on the line with him, I would be close to the answer.

Hagrid couldn't help but get excited.

If he gets the key "key", he will definitely be highly appreciated by Count Lorenzo, and even go one step further, might he be given the position of lord? After all, there is no rule that only the lord can use the Rubik's Cube.

Just as he was envisioning a wonderful future, rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Wait, who are you-"

"ah!"

Then there was a banging sound, and before Hagrid could recover, the door was violently kicked open, and a group of uninvited guests wearing patrol uniforms rushed into the house and pushed him to the ground.

Hagrid struggled to straighten his tie, "I, I am a legal businessman, you can't do this to me! If you want money, I will definitely cooperate as much as possible -"

"The Lord of Thorn Town suspects that there are remnants of the Church hiding in your caravan and needs to be investigated immediately." The other party was not moved at all. "If you have anything to say, please go back and tell the Lord!"
