Chapter 501 Unsolved Mystery

Joan paced back and forth in the bedroom, thinking about why the "Branch of Irminsur" had such an abnormal early warning signal, the fog in his mind gradually dissipated, and a logical conjecture followed.

The sound of splashing water came from the next door. Guessing that Clark hadn't fallen asleep, Joan walked out of the bedroom, went to the door of the next room, and knocked on the door.

Clark opened the door, with a wet towel around his neck—it was only a handkerchief for his stature.

"Mr. Hainier, are you still asleep?"

"I just washed my face and was about to go to bed. Brother Qiao An, you still haven't slept so late, do you have something to tell me?" the Frost Giant asked with concern.

Joan nodded: "Let's go into the room and talk."

"Okay." Clark invited him into the bedroom, sat on the bed, and asked curiously, "You look so preoccupied, what's the matter?"

"We have wiped out all the wither monsters entrenched in Davis's ranch, but you see, the 'Branch of El Minsur' is still glowing, and the light is redder and brighter than when it was in the ranch." Joan Take the "Branch of Elminthul" and show it to Clark.

"Well, what does this mean?" The frost giant looked puzzled.

"It means that there are other evil activated plants within the sensing range of the 'Branch of Irmin Sur'." Joan whispered his own speculation, "From the pasture back to the town, the sensing along the way The signal continues to strengthen, so it can be seen that the evil plant is not in the pasture, but hidden in the town!"

"There are also wither monsters in the town?" Clark asked hesitantly, "but I heard from Father Gordon that the wither monsters usually don't take the initiative to break into human towns. After all, the town is sparsely populated and densely populated, so it is difficult for the wither monsters to hide their tracks. , Once exposed, they will be caught and burned to death by the security forces.”

"The strength of this induction signal is very different from that of the wither monster, indicating that it is not the monsters we have seen in the pasture. I suspect that it is another thing, which is specially used to create and remotely control the wither monster." Joe Ann's face became extremely serious, "Mr. Hainier, have you heard of 'Gantias Root'?"

Clark nodded, and answered after thinking: "If I remember correctly, the 'Gantias Root' seems to be a magic tool specially used by the Conquest Order to control the Blight Monster. I don't know how to control it, Joe. Brother An, can you explain in detail?"

"'Gantias Tree Root' is a root cut from the 'Gantias Demon Tree'. Although it cannot grow hands and feet like the wither monster and move on its own, it inherits the mother body 'Gantias A part of the evil will of the "Magic Tree" is a high-level living plant, and it can also be sensed by my "Branch of Elminthul."

Joan first briefly introduced the origin of "Gantias Roots", and then returned to the topic.

"When we were in the ranch before, the 'Branch of Irminsur' had a weak response to the 'Gantias Root', which shows that the root and its holders are far away from us, and when we returned to the town On the contrary, the induction has been strengthened, which shows that the holder of the 'Gantias Root' is likely to live in House Town!"

Clark not only has well-developed limbs, but also is not stupid in mind. After a little thought, he could hear Joan's hint.

"The owner of 'Gantias Roots'... you mean Henry Baldwin? This man does live in the town, and his house is only two streets away!"

"There is no clear evidence yet, but from all indications, Henry Baldwin is very suspicious." Joan said cautiously.

"Brother Joan, this matter is getting more and more interesting!"

The frost giant slapped his thighs excitedly and jumped up, his head hit the ceiling with a bang, and he grinned in pain, but his excitement did not diminish at all.

"Let's assume that Baldwin is the manipulator of the wither monsters. Now that the wither monsters in Davis Ranch have been killed by us, will he, the mastermind behind the scenes, be aware of it?"

"This... I don't know," Qiao An said honestly, "Even if he doesn't know it now, he will be aware of it sooner or later."

"That's right! Baldwin will not leave those monsters to fend for themselves. It stands to reason that from time to time he will personally or send his men to sneak into Davis Ranch to check the situation of the wither monsters, and he may even give instructions to the group of monsters in person, requiring They are more active in attacking humans and animals in the pasture!"

"It is indeed possible." Joan nodded in agreement.

"Under this premise, if Baldwin finds that all the wither monsters have been slaughtered, do you think he will swallow this breath and let the Davis family go?"

"I'm afraid it won't... With his usual arrogant and domineering style, he is more likely to become angry and take more drastic measures to suppress Mr. Davis." Joan sighed, worried about the situation of the Davis family.

"I think so too! So, eliminating the blight won't solve the problem, but will cause even greater trouble! What we should do now is to go to Baldwin's house to investigate the truth as soon as possible, before that conspirator brews a new plan." Expose his crime before the poisonous plan, so that he will receive the punishment he deserves!" The frost giant waved his fist excitedly, not wanting to delay for a minute.

"This..." Joan hesitated for a moment, feeling that Clark's idea was too aggressive, so he asked him, "Should I discuss it with Mr. Davis first?"

Clark waved his hand: "Father has already fallen asleep, we'd better not disturb him, besides, he is very old-fashioned. Move quietly in the dark to save trouble!"

"Sneak into the investigation?" Joan stared at the frost giant in surprise, "Isn't it convenient for you to be so big?"

Clark grinned, opened his storage bag, and found two sheepskin scrolls emitting magical aura.

Joan recognized at a glance that they were two "invisibility" scrolls.

"During my travels in Niflheim last year, I went to the Polar Region to pay homage to Ms. Hull's temple, and met a lord witch who was stationed in the Styx temple. She entrusted me to help find a treasure as an advance payment, lord witch. He gave me a large pack of spell scrolls to deal with possible difficulties during the treasure hunt, and these two invisible scrolls are part of it."

After hearing Clark's explanation, Joan returned the spell scrolls to him: "You should save these scrolls for treasure hunting. I still have a lot of spell slots left, just cast spells to help you become invisible."

"That's fine, but if we are all invisible, won't we be able to see each other later?" Clark asked worriedly.

"This is indeed a trouble, but fortunately it is not difficult to solve."

Joan opened his spell-casting material package and took out two glass reagent bottles, one containing silver powder and the other containing talcum powder.

"I'm going to prepare a bottle of magic potion right now. If you drink the potion, you will be able to temporarily gain insight into invisibility."
