Chapter 994 Consultant
The candlelight was stretched very long in the shadows, and the walls of the fortress seemed to be twisted accordingly.
silence.
Only the sound of rhythmic footsteps echoed.
In the corridor, a pair of portraits are neatly arranged, all of which are the portraits of the head and deputy head (knight leader) of the Knights. In the lower corner of the oilcloth, their names, birth and death years are neatly written.
"Please come in."
The voice came from behind the door.
Lu Li pushed the door open and walked in. The guiding knight stood outside, waiting for orders at any time, and closed the door smoothly to ensure that the sound would not leak out.
A middle-aged uncle with a firm face, brown and black hair, sharp edges and corners, very in line with the stereotyped image in the public perception.
"Hello, sir."
Since Lu Li has already engraved concealment into his instincts, or in other words, when showing others as an invisible werewolf, he will automatically enter the state established by his exclusive skill [Low-key Kingly Way]. As the deputy head of the regiment, he can only see the leopard through weapons.
A cane with a strange shape.
Maybe there's a weapon hidden inside.
Have a certain sense of self.
The above indicated all the information he had on Langtou Jianguai, and he didn't know how to address Lu Li.
"Hello."
Lu Li stretched out his right hand.
There is a handshake ceremony in this world, and its meaning is not different from the conventional understanding.
Soon, the two talked face to face.
Social rhetoric is essential, but after a few words of politeness, the knight commander cut to the chase, hoping that Lu Li could act as a consultant to help investigate the Pluto plague.
Because one day passed, nearly a hundred death cases were reported in its own jurisdiction. Not to mention the menacing situation, related news also came out from other districts in the capital.
Lu Li accepted this, but he was curious why the Knights didn't investigate, so he immediately explained that he came from a foreign land and was an explorer who came here to rest, hoping to learn more about this country.
Ever since, the introduction that seems short but contains a lot of information begins.
half an hour later.
Lu Li felt that he knew hundreds of times more than Yang Kai.
Of course, the reason is also very simple. In the knowledge of the knight commander, he is a mid-sequence transcendent, and he will not be interested in those ordinary things, so he only chooses secret stories to narrate.
for example:
Among the six gods, the latest God of Steam and Machinery, the number of believers is skyrocketing, and more and more transcendents are stepping into the sequence.
Followed by the Church of the Goddess of the Sun, the Church of the Goddess of the Night, and the Church of the Mother of the Earth, which represent the worship of celestial nature.
Finally, the Goddess of Wisdom and the God of War.
The former provides strength for professions such as lawyers and novelists, and relatively speaking, beliefs are stable.
The worst thing is the God of War. The knight order is very old and has always believed in him. Since then, it has obtained a stable source of power and a path to promotion.
However, with the development of science and technology and the appearance of firearms, ordinary people can pose a threat to low-level transcendents, and they will naturally be eliminated.
So much so that the Knights have become a kind of decoration, responsible for city defense and order maintenance in name, but actually they are task issuers——
There is a murder case at night, involving supernatural factors, and it is solved by followers of the Evernight Goddess.
The murder happened during the daytime.
The same is true for technological creations.
Often, due to the lack of manpower in other churches, the Knights hand over the murder to the Mother Earth Church on the grounds that the murder occurred on the earth.
In this case, the believers of the goddess of wisdom cannot avoid the fate of being entrusted.
And the knight, who gradually lost his strength, began to focus on trivial matters.
Of course, this was the statement provided by the other party, and Lu Li was noncommittal. After all, half an hour is not a long time, and it is difficult to establish a basic understanding, let alone he did not have the opportunity to initiate a question.
Many details need to be understood from subordinates——
In order for Lu Li, a commissioned person from a foreign land, to integrate as quickly as possible and coordinate the forces of all parties, the knight commander arranged for him a "luxury" team consisting of a forensic officer and three warriors.
The former is a follower of the Goddess of Wisdom, and has succeeded in becoming a superhuman, while the latter is gathering materials and trying to find a way to step into the sequence of war.
material, way.
I have to feel that every world has its unique power system, and it is a pity that these people don't know what the source of the system is.
Anyway, the knight commander didn’t say anything, and asked Lin Nai, the forensic medical officer. He shook his head decisively and said that he didn’t know. He didn’t even know what the upper sequence of this path was, let alone the more advanced fields.
Stepping into the extraordinary realm but don't know how to advance?
Too ridiculous.
The way of war seems to be really useless.
In addition, judging from this contact, Lu Li thinks that the so-called "war" may not be accurate.
Goddess, Mother Goddess.
It is not ruled out that believers worship blindly and visualize the object of belief according to their own cognition.
Of course, Lu Li is not entangled, he just hopes to spark some sparks with other world civilizations, if he has to find the answer, the University of Michigan library should have relevant answers.
...
apartment.
Yang Kai stood in the hallway and waited anxiously.
The source of his sense of security, as well as the tasks assigned by the academy, are inseparable from Lu Li. He is worried that there is some conspiracy planned by the Knights.
Until there was a knock on the door, and the senior who was thinking about it appeared in front of him.
"How is it? Has the manuscript been accepted?"
"Well, money makes the way, and it will be on the front page tomorrow morning, so that everyone in the city who has the habit of reading newspapers can see it."
"During this period of time, you stay in the apartment honestly and slowly verify your abilities. I want to assist the Knights in investigating that Hades."
"good."
Yang Kai nodded obediently. For some reason, he had a strong intuition that he was the real tool man.
Obviously, Senior Lu has lost the enthusiasm he had on the first day, and has found his own career. At most, he will ask about it on the day when the results are released.
In fact, it's not that the reality is cruel, it's just that Lu Li doesn't want to be a babysitter for others, and hangs around a big old man.
If Yang Kai encountered any troubles, he would offer help and cover him until he arrived at the University of Michigan campus.
"By the way, according to the classification of the knight commander, the novelist, a profession that also has the opportunity to step into the extraordinary realm, should be classified as [wisdom]."
Going upstairs to carry his special suitcase, before closing the door, Lu Li deliberately said: "You can go to the relevant church to see if you have time. Regarding the outbreak of the Pluto plague this time, I still have the same attitude as yesterday, and the spread is far less than that of the past. There must be a conspiracy."
No goddess was added for modification, because wisdom may be a wrong description. One thing to say, he likes this feeling of exploring the mystery, so he started with this Hades.
Should it be a trial before further study?
outside the door.
The four-person team is waiting patiently.
[The First Team of the White Zone Knights Special Operations Department]
This is their brand new title.
The reason why it was named the first group was because of this change, a slap in the head for the knight commander, a newly established department.
After all, inviting Lu Li to join the investigation expanded the number of objects that the Knights can entrust. It was no longer limited to the major god religions, and it was able to find wild sequencers among the people to complete the subsequent expansion.
