Chapter 618 Investigation Team

Under the leadership of Fanswijk, Duanmuhuai and Ojisi walked through the hall with constant wailing and came to the guest room on the other side. As soon as they opened the door, they saw two figures.

One of them was a girl with long silver hair tied in braids, wearing armor and a beret. She had a thin sword hanging on her waist and was staring out the window anxiously. Sitting next to her was a little girl with blue braids and a hat that looked like a witch. She was curled up on the sofa, holding the tea cup in front of her, wondering what she was thinking.

Hearing the knock on the door, they both raised their heads and saw Fanswick, Duanmuhuai and Ojisi walking in. They all showed surprised expressions.

"I kept you two waiting for a long time."

Vanswijk seemed to be very good at this kind of situation. He smiled and said hello.

"Just now, the last two adventurers have arrived."

"Are you talking about them?"

Duanmuhuai turned his head and stared at Vanswijk.

Don’t you think of me as a nursery nanny?

"I'm really sorry. Because of the previous attack, we really don't have enough manpower. Ah, originally the leader of the Silver Knights was scheduled to be the captain, but unfortunately he contracted an illness and passed away, so his daughter..."

"Amelia, my name is Amelia."

The silver-haired girl turned her head, stared at Duanmuhuai, put her hand on her chest and introduced herself.

"I will lead the investigation team in place of my father."

"………………"

Duanmuhuai stared at Fanswijk in silence, his eyes full of "are you kidding me" - Fanswijk just showed a wry smile.

"Then, please help yourself. I have one step ahead."

After saying this, Vanswijk ran away, while the group of people stood in the room with an awkward atmosphere, staring at each other.

I don't know how long it took before Amelia coughed awkwardly.

"Since we are going to act together, let's introduce ourselves first... Starting with me, I am Silver Knight Emilia. Although I am still young, I am also a full-time member of the Silver Knights. I know that I Maybe it’s a bit unreliable, but I’ll try my best.”

After saying this, Emilia turned her attention to the blue-haired girl next to her - maybe it was because they were in the same room before and were relatively close to each other?

"…………"

Sensing Emilia's eyes, the blue-haired girl sighed lightly.

"Luo Qixi Migludia, I am a five-ring warlock."

"Warlock?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai's expression changed slightly.

"What department?"

"Shape energy."

"Shaping energy..."

Hearing the girl's answer, Duanmu Huai was somewhat disappointed. The mages in this world knew many very magical spells, some of which were even more interesting than those used by An and others. In particular, the spells of the transmutation, illusion, conjuration and enchantment systems are quite interesting.

In comparison, the plastic energy department...

To put it bluntly, it is the Five Fireball God Cult... Duanmuhuai can achieve this kind of power with just a rocket launcher.

Compared to Duanmuhuai's disappointment, Amelia seemed a little surprised.

"Are you a spell caster who has stepped into the fifth ring?"

"That's right."

Luo Qixi nodded, but didn't say anything more. He just lowered his head and stared at the cup in his hand.

"Then why did you come to Neverwinter?"

"...I was just traveling around and happened to come here."

"That's it..."

Emilia nodded without asking any more questions, and then she turned her attention to Duanmu Huai - well, I have to say, just from the armor and helmet Duanmu Huai wore, it looked different. Like good people.

"Uh, may I ask who you are..."

"My name is Duanmu Huai, she is Ogis, and we are from the Tribunal."

"......Inquisition??"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's introduction, Amelia was stunned for a moment.

"Sorry, please forgive my lack of knowledge, but what kind of organization is that?"

"Simply put, it is an organization that protects humans. It is the responsibility of the Tribunal to kill demons, heretics and aliens in order to protect humans. This time I received the invitation from Ms. Aribes and came to Neverwinter City for this reason. Come."

Duanmuhuai could notice that when he said "devil", Luo Qixi's body stiffened slightly.

"call……………"

After listening to Duanmuhuai's explanation, Amelia seemed to be relieved—perhaps she felt that there was finally a professional.

"Uh, Mr. Duanmuhuai, I have a question, why are you wearing a helmet?"

"……………………"

Facing Amelia's inquiry, Duanmuhuai fell silent.

"...Because of the curse."

"curse?"

"Yes, maybe you don't know that I have been a handsome man since I was born."

"……………Aha?"

“………When the nurse who delivered the baby saw me, she fainted on the spot. When I left the hospital, all the female medical staff in the hospital came out to see me off. When I went to school, the girls in my class even fought for me. Even the teacher showed unprecedented enthusiasm after seeing me. When I walked on the street, the girls were fascinated. They would faint just by seeing me, and they would lose their minds if they were stared at by me. So, for the peace and tranquility of the world, I put on this armor and sealed my handsome appearance……………”

“Uh……………”

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s answer, Emilia and Luo Qixi were both confused and didn’t know how to react. They looked at Duanmu Huai, and then at Ogis—the latter sat on Duanmu Huai’s shoulders and swung her legs expressionlessly, looking like she didn’t care.

Really or not?

"Ahem, ahem... Then, let's get back to the point. Our next task is to investigate the source of the plague. Does anyone have any opinions on this?"

Amelia coughed awkwardly and forced the topic back.

"I want to see the initial investigation report first."

Duanmu Huai also gave his answer.

"Neverwinter City should have investigated and recorded the source of the plague."

"Ah, I do."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, Emilia nodded and took out a notebook - although it seemed a little green, she was well prepared.

"According to the records, the plague began to spread in early winter. At first, everyone thought it was just a common seasonal cold, but soon, the symptoms became more and more severe, and soon the Beggar's Nest was completely destroyed. At this time, Neverwinter had already discovered that something was wrong, and Lord Nasher chose to close the city immediately, but it was too late. Except for the Black Lake District, which was relatively stable, the entire Neverwinter City was almost infected by the plague... This plague cannot be cured, and even the magic of priests and pastors can't play a role, so it spreads very quickly."

"What is the specific source of infection?"

"Sorry, I don't know about this."

"So, in the early stage of infection, did anyone go to the Beggar's Nest for treatment?"

"Hmm........."

Amelia flipped through the records.

"At the beginning of the outbreak, Master Duzel went to the Beggar's Nest to treat the patients. He would provide free medical treatment to the poor people in Neverwinter who could not afford medical treatment every year. That is why he discovered the unusualness of this plague and warned Lord Nasher in time."

"Master Duzel?"

"Yes, Master Duzel Cades, he is a well-known archdruid in Neverwinter and is very respected."

Druids are indeed better at making medicines and treating diseases...

"So where is this archdruid now?"

"I heard that he left Neverwinter to find a way to treat the plague... I don't know the details."

"Then, I suggest we go to the residence of the archdruid."

Duanmu Huai stood up.

"Since he is an expert in this area, he may have kept records of the early stage of the plague, and maybe we can find some clues from it."

Amelia didn't think there was anything wrong with Duanmu Huai's proposal, and quickly nodded and agreed.

They first went to the residence of the Archdruid in the center of Neverwinter, but were told that he had not returned for a long time. However, the gatekeeper still gave Emilia and the others a piece of news, that is, Master Duzel had a place in the Beggar's Nest to treat patients. If there was any record, it should be there.

It must be said that when Emilia first heard the news, she was still very embarrassed. After all, as a local resident, she also knew the situation of the Beggar's Nest. Not only were there piles of corpses, but there were even undead creatures. At present, the guards and the Knights have completely blocked the Beggar's Nest. It may not be easy for them to get in...

However, in fact, when the group came to the gate of the Beggar's Nest, they saw a group of people walking in happily.

"What's going on?"

Seeing this scene, Emilia also hurriedly asked the guard at the gate.

"Isn't the Beggar's Nest completely blocked?"

"Ah, Miss Emilia."

Seeing Emilia, the guard also smiled.

"Actually, it's all thanks to those adventurers."

"Adventurers?"

"Yes, wasn't there a group of adventurers who went to look for something missing according to Ms. Eribes' orders? They not only eliminated the undead creatures in the Beggar's Nest, but also the cult inside. Now the Beggar's Nest is barely peaceful, so everyone has started to go home again."

"Is that so? That's good."

Hearing the guard's answer, Emilia was relieved. After all, she also knew that it was very hard for refugees to leave their homes, not to mention that these refugees had been living on the streets outside, which was not a good thing. Now that the danger of the Beggar's Nest has dissipated, everyone has returned home, which is more or less a good thing.

"Can we go in too?"

"Of course."

Duanmu Huai and others also had the permission of Ms. Eribes, so they easily entered the Beggar's Nest. Then, according to the previous instructions, the group finally found the "hospital" of the great druid.

It was a building located in a corner of the beggar's nest, which looked like a warehouse. The whole building was sealed tightly, the door was locked, and even tied with thick iron chains. In this place that looked even dirtier than the slums, there was such a complete building, which was really surprising.

"This is troublesome, there is no key..."

Looking at the iron lock that was almost bigger than her head, Emilia was also a little embarrassed. However, just as she was thinking about what to do, she saw Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand, grabbed the iron chain, and then pulled it suddenly!

"Bang!"

The next moment, the iron chain as thick as a thumb broke immediately, and then Duanmu Huai directly pulled open the wooden door and strode in.

"Hey? Mr. Duanmu! It is illegal to break in like this!!"

"Now is not the time to care about these trivial matters."

Duanmu Huai walked into the warehouse and looked around, and at the same time, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Of course, he didn't just come here to find clues, it can even be said that... Duanmu Huai came here to find evidence of a crime.

That's right, after listening to Emilia's introduction, Duanmu Huai suspected that the archdruid was most likely the criminal.

The reason is simple. For matters related to the Corruption Stain, it is definitely right to find a doctor. If the other party is not a friendly force, then he must have betrayed the enemy!

Then, let me see if this archdruid is innocent.
