Chapter 525 Case

Who wants to be an explorer? Olina almost blurted out.

Exploration may be a compliment in the East, but in the Saint Wing Islands, it is something that only a group of extremely vicious people can do.

Xia Fan may be despicable, but he is very different from those who are desperate and can only lick blood on the edge of a knife.

Of course, it is unrealistic to persuade him to stop.

Let alone how long it will take for the church to find the Son of God. After finding him, I am afraid that he will be immediately sent back to the capital for strict custody to prevent his mind from being polluted. When he is released again, Yu Shuangxue's food will probably be cold.

Olina thought about it carefully and felt that this matter was not impossible - attacking the church patrol team was no different from pulling out the dragon's beard in person, which would inevitably cause a strong reaction from the whole territory. Helping to solve the case is equivalent to going with the flow. Even if the criminal cannot be caught, it is also a credit to find some new clues to provide to the church, which is conducive to the friendly contact between the two sides in the future.

The premise is that it is under her "surveillance".

Without the Dragonborn to testify for him, if he made any mistakes and was targeted by the jury, the people of the Central Plains would have no way to explain themselves.

"Salerni College is a closed-door teaching, and there will be two days of short vacation at the end of the month. Today is the 21st, and it's not too late to leave in a week." Olina sighed secretly, because the other party is the employer? She was not soft-hearted or forgiving, but she had her own difficulties - if Xia Fan got into trouble here, who would she ask for the remaining thousands of gold Kern tuition fees? "I'll ask the company to ship the tuition fees, so you have seven days to investigate this matter."

"You didn't count the time spent on the road," Xia Fan kindly reminded.

"Have you forgotten that I'm a dragon?" Olena rolled her eyes at him. "If I don't follow the ship, I can just fly over there."

"Uh...it seems so." Xia Fan scratched his head. "So, you want to stay and help me?"

"To prevent you from messing around." The dragon girl said unhappily, "This is the center of the world, not the remote East. The Church Tribunal is not as easy to talk to as Her Royal Highness the Princess. But I also have a request."

"What request?"

"When I go to the capital, you go with me."

Hearing this request, Xia Fan was slightly stunned, but he quickly realized that this is not the fear of being close to home? "You are afraid, so you want to find someone to go with you to see your brother?"

"No--" Olena's face flushed obviously, and it was more eye-catching with a head of silver hair. "Can you speak? Why should I be afraid of my brother? I'm afraid that you will get into trouble when I'm away! Instead of letting you stay still, why don't you go with me!"

"Okay, okay, I know." Xia Fan waved his hands repeatedly, "Is it not okay for me to go?"

He always felt that if he continued to be serious, the other party's expression would be uncontrollable.

The dragon girl took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "Huh - it's a miracle that you were not beaten to death by Miss Li's tail."

Having been beaten many times during training, Xia Fan thought that at most he would be half dead.

"Where do you plan to start?" Olena asked with her arms folded across her chest.

"First, we need to understand the most basic information. Location, time, and current progress of the investigation."

"Since the Earl has no intention of keeping it secret, it proves that the matter has already spread. We may be able to get a general idea by asking someone in the tavern tonight." She nodded, "But don't expect to hear very detailed things. Rumors have always been more and more exaggerated."

"I have a better candidate." Xia Fan said, touching his chin.

"Who?"

"The first person we met when we arrived at the port - the harbor defense officer."

...

"Sir, someone wants to see you."

In the customs office at the harbor dock, Lathein was worrying about how to receive the church trial group - the Broken Tooth Family was responsible for the security of the Azure Castle. Although he had no direct relationship with this matter, he must accompany the castle defense officer all the way. When he thought of the famous reputation of the trial group, he was scared from the bottom of his heart.

So when his subordinates reported, Lathein impatiently refused, "I don't have time. Let those merchants go to the customs office to solve the problem themselves. I am not a service staff to solve their problems."

"Uh... the other party doesn't seem to be a merchant. The visitor claims to be an ambassador, and there is a dragon among them."

Ambassador? Dragonborn?

Lathein instantly thought of the weird Oriental man.

By the way... they should have just talked to the Lord.

It seems that this application was rejected, and they want to ask for mercy from me again?

He wanted to refuse as usual, but the figure of Olina Okan appeared in his mind. There are several female dragon families, but none of them can compare to Olina.

Thinking of this, Lathein stroked his hair and coughed twice, "Is that so... Then you bring them in. I'll meet them here."

"Yes."

"Ah... By the way, ask the maid to make a pot of black tea."

After a while, the visitor appeared at the door of the room.

As he guessed, it was the two people on the White Sand.

"Please sit down." Lathein pointed to the sofa on one side of the room and sat down in the main seat. "I have conveyed your request for a meeting to Lord Cleveland. If the earl disagrees, it will be useless for you to find anyone in the Blue Castle."

"Don't worry, we didn't think of making any requests that violate diplomatic regulations. Olina spoke first, "To be more precise, we are here to help."

"Help?" Lassein glanced at the two of them, and then couldn't help laughing. "What can you do to help me? I just hope that the Eastern Envoy will not cause any trouble to Azure Castle."

“Does solving a crime count?”

The defense officer paused slightly as he picked up the teacup, "What case?"

"The church convoy encountered an unknown attack." Olina said calmly.

Lassein narrowed his eyes and looked at the two men again - this time there was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes, "Honestly, I wish I could tear the prisoner into pieces right now, but this is not an easy task. Miss Okan, I know you want to help this Oriental. If you can find the murderer behind the scenes, you can naturally lift the martial law on the inland channel, but do you think you can compare with the entire city's police force for this matter? I got a prophecy scroll that can trace back the circumstances of the crime. This scroll alone is worth thousands of gold, but I still found nothing."

Olina couldn't help but take a breath, "A daughter?"

"Yes, such high-level spell scrolls are quite limited even in the hands of lords." Lassein took a sip of tea, "This can only show two points. The murderer knows how to prevent spell tracking, and the murderer is extremely well prepared. . The former means that the other party is very powerful, and the latter means that the other party has a gang plan. Miss Okan, I must remind you that it will be dangerous to participate in it rashly. "

Olina was still in a state of shock, as if frightened by the difficulty of the matter.

Only Xia Fan knew that Lassein would have made a mistake from the beginning.

What shocked the dragon girl was not the case itself at all, but the fact that thousands of pieces of gold Kern turned into dust.
