Chapter 210: Black and White Institutes Join, Pressure From All Sides (4/5)
"I sometimes... really feel that this world is too complicated."
September 19th, the eleventh game cycle, the world of Endless Sea.
Kestrel, who had been busy all morning, sat at Li Feng's house and chatted with him about what happened at Storm's End yesterday.
"Lai Yin, do you know that Qiao Li is not Governor Fell's child?
He is the child of Celine Weiss and Moros.
Moreover, Moros and Celine Weiss are cousins.
This is too messy..."
Kestrel laments the complexity of this world.
And Li Feng felt that he had heard the same thing several times from different angles.
"I really didn't expect that——"
Kestrel shook his head, looking quite unbelievable:
"Just two days ago, when we last met, I was quite worried whether Qiao Li would cause trouble for you again in the future.
But who would have thought that he would die that night!
And his life experience is revealed, he is now the son of a sinner.
The guys at Storm's End are now eager to cut ties with him and then spit on him.
Even if Jory is dead, they are still afraid of having any connection with him and offending the governor.
To be honest, not only did Qiao Li die miserably, but he also lost all dignity and good reputation after his death. "
Listening to Kestrel's gossip, Li Feng nodded and thought to himself, it seemed that Shia's plan was successful.
After chatting casually for a while, Li Feng pretended to think of something and asked:
"By the way, since Jory is not Governor Fell's child, did the Governor let Earth Ring inspect the body?"
Originally, Governor Fell did not let anyone get close to Jory's body, which could also be explained by his excessive grief and deep love for his calf.
But now, Qiao Li has nothing to do with him, and it makes no sense to stop the investigation.
"Uh-no."
When Li Feng asked, Kestrel shook his head, pondered for a while and then said hesitantly:
"That's why I came to you.
After learning the truth, Governor Fell was very angry and ordered his body to be thrown into the sea.
How should I put it, the feeling of being deceived and betrayed must be uncomfortable, but I always feel that he overreacted.
After all, in addition to being a father, he is also the governor of an island.
Now, in his own land, there is a soul eater who is suspected to be contaminated with forbidden magic and is on the loose.
He had no intention of investigating at all, and just used the excuse of being shocked and in a bad mood to see no one and do nothing.
To be honest, I have known Penros Fair for more than ten years, and I don’t think he is a person who values family ties and would put his family in such an important position. "
Kestrel told some details that he knew, and Li Feng listened carefully.
He could tell that Kestrel was already suspicious.
For Penros Fell, Kestrel's suspicion was much more stressful than the suspicion of the ministers of Storm's End.
This is the effect Li Feng wants.
"Lai Yin, do you know the Black and White Courtyard on Glory Island?"
After finishing the topic of the Governor, Kestrel suddenly changed the subject and asked about the White House.
Li Feng thought for a moment:
"Is it the Black and White Institute, the organization of the Hidden Ones?"
"That's right."
Kestrel nodded:
"The bloodless body you found in the reef cave and the cause of Qiao Li's death all remind me of an incident that happened some time ago."
Kestrel clarified his thoughts, recalled what happened before, and continued:
"At that time, you went out to look for Faranir's notes. When you were not in Wind's End City, Morning Star, the Hidden Person of the Black and White Courtyard, came to Wind's End City."
'Morning Star? That wood elf? ’
Li Feng quickly recalled what happened before.
In Jinhu Town near Wind Breeze City, Li Feng rescued Mrs. Alvin's grandson-in-law and sneaked into the home of Moros' nephew, Borg Moros, for his notes.
It was there that he first encountered the Morning Star.
As for the reason Chenxing went to find Moros, as far as Li Feng knew, she was hunting down traitors for the Black and White Court.
"The Black and White Institute has a close cooperation with the Earth Ring, so Chenxing came to look for me when he came to Wind's Breath City."
Kestrel continued:
"She told me that the Black and White Court received news that there was a traitor hiding in Wind's Breath City who betrayed the Black and White Court.
That man's name is Mathas, a fourth-level and ninth-level soul eater.
Oh, by the way, this person was originally a Hidden One. Later, he was infused with demonic essence and became an Abyss Roller, and then he also became a Soul Eater. "
‘The Hidden One… is exactly what I guessed. ’
Li Feng felt more certain. He thought about it and followed Kestrel's train of thought and asked:
"You mean, the people whose bodies were dumped in the reef cave, as well as Qiao Li, were all killed by this man named Marthas?"
"My guess is."
Kestrel replied:
“Because the clues of Chenxing’s investigation were broken at that time, she did not catch Mathas.
But the thing that worries me is something else. "
Kestrel looked out the window in the direction of the sea, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"I have some channels for getting information...
A few days ago, I heard that the Black and White Institute found some clues. Their ocean-going ship went to sea, and its destination was the waters near Storm Island.
The news I received is that their operation this time is to capture the most famous traitor of the Black and White Institute - Mathas.
The Black and White Institute has been hunting him for more than twenty years because he stole something from the institute during his rebellion.
Some people say that thing is from the mermaid tribe, and there are also rumors that it is from the black dragon tribe. Anyway, it is quite important.
In fact, not only the Black and White Court, the king also issued a wanted order for the arrest of Mathas.
Massus is a vicious person. He has massacred many villages and towns in pursuit of power.
But this person has always been very cautious. Over the years, he has rarely left clues.
But this time, first the bloodless body in the reef cave, then the open killing of Jory, and the clues he accidentally left at sea.
All made me think that Massus was planning something famous, and his mentality seemed to have changed.
It was as if, as long as this plan succeeded, he could not care about the Black and White Court chasing him, or the wanted order of the kingdom.
That's why he dared to act so recklessly, even daring to kill Jory publicly. "
Hongshun was very worried, but Li Feng was somewhat pleasantly surprised.
He didn't expect that he asked Haizan to imitate Massus's method to kill people, which would make Hongshun think so much.
However, with the information he had, and standing at his starting point, it seemed normal to think to this extent.
"If Massus was originally very cautious, but suddenly changed his behavior pattern, there must be a reason. "
Li Feng added fuel to the fire.
Hong Falcon agreed with this:
"So I plan to contact the Black and White Court and invite them to Fengxi City to investigate in the name of the Ring of the Earth.
But there must be a reason for the investigation, and I always feel that the Governor will not cooperate.
So I think, I would like to use the bloodless corpse you found in the reef cave as an excuse. I wonder what you think, Lai Yin."
Hong Falcon finally told the real purpose of his visit to Li Feng this time.
Li Feng nodded, and he readily agreed:
"No problem, if there is anything you need my cooperation, just tell me."
Hong Falcon was very happy to hear this, but in fact Li Feng was also very happy.
Because it was not only the Ring of the Earth that put pressure on Pang Luosi Fel, and soon, the Black and White Court would also join in.
