Chapter 106: Mutual Speculation

"Mathas, is the hidden female elf the result of your divination?"

Storm's End is the political center of Storm Island and the residence of the Governor. Every room here is equipped with the brightest gas lamps.

Except for one place, which is almost unknown, the basement at the bottom of the castle.

The basement is large, with moldy walls and stone pillars supporting the top floor, making it look like a terrifying maze.

Although there is a special ventilation system here, it is still cold and humid, and there is always a smell of rancid water.

With the sound of the iron door closing, a tall figure entered the basement.

He strode past the moldy stone pillars, and the wind stirred up caused the flames of the torches on the wall to dance all the way.

As the fire flickered out, the figure turned around the wall and suddenly stopped beside a candlestick with hundreds of candles.

The candlelight pulsated at the appearance of the person, and what was reflected in the pulsating candlelight was the face of Penros Fair, the governor of Storm Island.

"Mathas, I want you to divine the whereabouts of Rhine, not the murderer of Borg Moros.

The murderer who dared to kill the noble is important, but you have more important things to do. "

Penlos Fell's voice was deep and strong, and he was sternly questioning a man named Mathas.

"My Lord Governor, I have told you, he is very smart."

The dry and cold voice sounded, and it came from a man named Mathas.

Even though Governor Fell, the supreme ruler of Storm Island, stood behind him and looked menacing, Mathas still maintained his posture of sitting on the ground wall without moving.

There was a circle of candles burning on the ground around him, and the candles were lit with strange green flames.

Because Governor Feier walked quickly, the candlelight jumped suddenly and went out.

Mathas stretched out a hand that looked like only skin and bones from under his robe. He gently stroked the flames. Soon, the green flames became quiet.

"Smart? Is this your excuse?"

Governor Fell sneered and mocked, and then he continued:

"But my people did find out one thing. Doctor Danny is actually Mrs. Alvin's grandson-in-law.

Now I am very suspicious that the person who killed Borg Moros and exposed all his good deeds was Rhine. "

In fact, Governor Fell not only suspected it, he had already arranged it.

When he got the address of Jinhu Town from Mars yesterday, he had a plan in mind.

Originally, as the governor, he had no reason to openly use soldiers to track down Li Feng.

What's more, Li Feng is still a free man in front of the Sea Throne, which the king personally ennobles.

His identity gave the Governor a headache.

But now, by coincidence, the governor could use the pretext of catching the murderer to brazenly send people to encircle and suppress Li Feng.

Li Feng was just a first-level hunter and was beaten to death with a stick.

Regardless, the Governor later came forward and regretfully said that this was a sad misunderstanding.

It's okay to just blame Li Feng for the murder.

After all, Li Feng was either killed or faked his death and was secretly arrested by him.

When the result has become a foregone conclusion, it is not impossible for the Kingdom to explain it.

After all, to the king, he, the governor of a big island, must be much more important than that young boy.

That's why so many Storm's End soldiers and knights sent troops to the pine forest of Jinhu Town last night.

On the surface, they were going to catch the murderer of Borg Moros, but in fact, they were ordered by the Governor to capture or kill Li Feng.

But who would have expected that in the pine forest, they did not see Li Feng, but they met a difficult female elf.

This made the governor, who was just waiting for good news, very angry.

That's why he questioned Mathas aggressively.

"A first-level hunter? Haha——"

Mathas suddenly laughed:

"Sir Governor, you are also someone who has slain a dragon. Why can't you even think of this?"

Mathas paused after saying this.

As for Governor Fehr, when he heard these words, he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and looked unhappy.

But he didn't have an attack, he just waited silently.

Massas, who was sitting facing the wall with his back to the governor, seemed to know all this. He deliberately waited before saying:

"Bog Moros and his butler were killed by the Hidden Ones.

And the person who killed them also took away my twin blood crystal. "

Mathas said with distress as he looked at the other blood-colored crystal on his left side. Because it had lost its other half, it became dim at the moment.

The blood threads in the crystal gradually condensed into blood clots and stopped spinning.

"My Lord Governor, the person who killed Borg Moros was the person who knew my spell beforehand.

She also came here to destroy my spell. "

"Mathas!"

When Governor Fell heard this, he suddenly stopped him with a sharp voice.

"Why, you're not going to tell me that you used so many of my resources for divination and called my soldiers, but in fact you were all seeking revenge for yourself, right?"

Governor Fell was very angry. The person who killed Borg Moros must be found.

But what he needs more now is to find Li Feng, and thereby find Faranir's notes.

He knew that Li Feng left Fengxi City by train a few days ago.

But soon, his knight lost track of the man.

The governor was very angry about this. He sent people to closely monitor Rhine's movements at all the train stations across the Storm Island.

But unfortunately, there was no result.

It was not until the soul eater named Marsas, who cooperated with him, finally told him the grudge between Mrs. Alvin of Wood County and alchemist Gad that he understood the whole story.

At that time, Governor Fell immediately wanted to send people to encircle Gad's wooden house, but Marsas told him.

Rhine had been there and killed the three apprentices he sent.

And now, the house is empty.

Governor Fell, who learned about this, wanted to kill Marsas on the spot.

If it weren't for his selfish motives and failure to share intelligence, he wouldn't have missed the opportunity in vain.

But no matter how angry he was, the governor didn't kill the soul eater.

First, he mastered many forbidden spells, which were still very useful to him.

Second, Marsas was also at the fourth level and ninth level, which was equivalent to his own power. It was definitely not good to fight him before he was prepared.

And Marsas also realized Li Feng's cunning through this mistake.

Since they are both looking for a way to become demigods, they might as well put aside their grudges, cooperate honestly, and get the notes first.

Coincidentally, the governor thought the same.

As for Li Feng, he was thousands of miles away at that time, and he never thought that he would inadvertently promote the sincere cooperation between two people who did not trust each other.

"Governor, please calm down and listen to me."

Massas finally stood up, turned around and looked at the governor respectfully, revealing a face that was no different from a skeleton.

"Governor, you just said that Mrs. Alvin's only descendant is in Jinhu Town.

And his grandson-in-law was framed by Borg Moros, and the hunter named Rhine did have the motive to kill Borg Moros.

But why was the killer the Hidden One, and why did the Hidden One elf appear?"

"What do you want to say?"

After talking to Marsas, Governor Fair became a little impatient.

"Governor, what I want to say is that in this world, we are not the only ones looking for Faranil's notes, nor are we the only ones looking for Rhine.

Especially that day, the demons that attacked Windbreak City made this secret public."

Hearing this, Governor Fair frowned and pulled over a chair to sit down, his fingers tapping on the surface of the phone irritably:

"You mean..."

"Black and White Court."

Massas said slowly and word by word.

Suddenly, Governor Fair's hand froze for a moment, and his face became even gloomier:

"You mean, the Black and White Court is cooperating with Rhine."

"Or helping him deal with us."

Massas immediately said:

"Please think about it, a first-level hunter, how could he have such great strength.

First he avoided your eyes, then killed my three apprentices, and finally cleaned up the entire Moros Castle by himself.

During this period, someone must have helped him.

And..."

Massas said this, and suddenly became sure:

"And I can guarantee that last night in the pine forest of Jinhu Town, Rhine He must be with that female elf, my divination will not be wrong. "

"Heh--"

Hearing this, Governor Fell suddenly laughed:

"It's really strange. Although my soldiers didn't catch the female elf, they also surrounded the place. Rhine was really there, how did he get away? "

Massas was silent for a while. He himself was not very sure about this, but he still said:

"Then why do you think the female elf wanted to play tricks on your knight?

Isn't she doing this to give Rhine a chance to get away? "

Hearing that his knight was played tricks again, Governor Fell snorted.

He waved his hand in annoyance and ended the topic.

Massas might be right, but these are no longer the point. He just wants the notes, and the rest is not important.

After a long silence, Governor Fell suppressed the negative emotions in his heart and focused only on the matter in front of him.

He asked Massas:

"Do you think Rhine has got the notes?"

This time it was Massas' turn to be silent.

His intuition told him that Rhine had already got the notes.

But as a fourth-level, ninth-level extraordinary person, he has been running around for decades to become a demigod.

During this period, he also got involved in forbidden spells and made himself look like a ghost.

He paid such a great price, but he didn't find a way to become a demigod.

Finally, by chance, he finally got the clue of Faranil's notebook.

But not to mention the planning, he is still inferior to others, and has suffered losses, but he still hasn't got the notebook.

And the young man named Rhine, who is just a first-level hunter, found out about Mrs. Alvin's affairs so easily and found Gad's residence.

And judging from the current situation, he should have got the notebook.

A feeling of resentment and unwillingness rose in the center of Marsas, and then he suddenly understood what Governor Fell said to him that day:

Don't underestimate that kid.

Masas closed his shriveled eyelids slightly and said:

"I don't have the energy to do another divination.

But my intuition tells me that the hunter has got the notebook.

So Governor, it's your turn."

Hearing this, Governor Fell raised his head silently, and then he sneered:

"As long as he is still in Storm Island."

In the dark and damp basement, Governor Fell and Masas were thinking the same thing.

The opportunity to be promoted to demigod is right in front of us, and we can't give it up no matter what, even if there is the variable of Rhine.

After that, the two men carefully analyzed all the details from beginning to end.

Both of them are experienced people, and they analyzed what Li Feng had done and what he might have done, which was almost the same as the facts.

But there were only two things that they never expected.

The first thing is that Li Feng did not rely on the female elf hidden person, because he himself is a hidden person.

The second thing is that the Faranil Notes they are pursuing are actually just a semi-finished product translated by Gad.

The Faranil Autobiography, which really records secrets and knowledge, is actually in Li Feng's hands and has never been known to the public.

...

"People will only pay the price for more important things."

In a room in a hotel in Jinhu Town, Li Feng silently read this sentence in the letter.

Just now, he used the relic-the fortune-teller's letter opener.

Divining whether the soldiers who came to the pine forest last night were here to chase the murderer who killed Borg Moros, or to track down Rhine who was looking for the notes.

Although he did both, it would not be so easy for outsiders to guess.

‘More important things…’

This letter opener still doesn’t speak human language, but Li Feng is already familiar with its routine.

For the other party, is it more important to kill the murderer of the noble, or to find the notes and become a demigod?

The result is of course self-evident.

However, it is so troublesome.

I am afraid that when the other party got the address of Jinhu Town, they had already guessed that he was involved in the death of Borg Moros.

Of course, they should pretend to be involved regardless of whether there is any real involvement.

‘Slander me as the murderer who killed the noble, beat me to death with sticks first, so that I don’t have to worry about my status as a free man in front of the Sea King’s throne.

It’s really a good plan. ’

Thinking of this, Li Feng suddenly smiled.

Recalling another thing that Chenxing told him last night, about the blood-colored crystal found in Borg Moros’ bedroom.

Chenxing said that the crystal was called blood crystal, and it was made into a twin pair in an extremely complicated way.

It is also something that the Soul Eater will use in his forbidden spells.

The usual practice is to place one of the two blood crystals next to the Soul Eater.

The other is placed in a place like a brothel to absorb essence and nourish the Soul Eater.

But this crystal will affect people's temperament, making people's desires bigger and bigger, and more and more irritable.

This leads to the fact that in actual operation, brothels with people coming and going are not suitable places.

Therefore, the Soul Eater hiding here chose the noble Borg Moros who lived alone.

His conditions in all aspects are very consistent with the requirements of the Soul Eater.

It's just that this kind of forbidden spell attracted the attention of the Black and White Courtyard, and they asked Chenxing to deal with it.

And because of the influence of the blood crystal, Borg Moros, whose temper became extremely violent, killed the maid and framed Danny, thus attracting Li Feng.

This triggered the subsequent events.

And Chenxing also told Li Feng that uu read the book The other half of the twin blood crystal, that is, the person who used the forbidden spell, was in the direction of Fengxi City according to her investigation.

This reminded Li Feng of another thing, which was the three extraordinary people who came to kill him in Gad's hut.

They were also cursed to not betray their master, and this curse was also a forbidden spell of the Soul Eater.

'One is to send troops to track and capture my governor, and the other is to send extraordinary people to kill my Soul Eater.

It seems that there are two people who want to kill me in Fengxi City. '

Li Feng rubbed his eyebrows. In any case, he used the clues he collected to roughly infer the enemy.

They should have known that there were hidden elves helping me, and even thought that it was the Black and White Courtyard who was helping me, but there were two points they still couldn't guess.

First, in addition to being a hunter, I am also a hidden person.

Second, the Faranil notes they are looking for are just half-finished products translated by Gad.

And the truly valuable Faranil autobiography is in my hands.

In the room with the curtains closed, Li Feng analyzed his advantages and began to arrange subsequent plans.

Weird deep-sea game, I can fish without limit
