Chapter 78: Misunderstood Benefits
Since the last time it was accurately divined that the devil was about to appear in the dock area, Kestrel was quite convinced of the fortune-telling ability of the great fortune teller of Storm's End Castle. Google search reading
After receiving the news that "pirates have arrived on the island and will cause tragedy in the outer city," Kestrel put on his coat tiredly and prepared to go to the outer city to take a look.
As the Ring of Earth, they had better catch those two pirates before Storm's End.
After all, they are inextricably linked to the Mist pirate ship. As long as they are caught, the Earth Ring can learn more secrets about the Mist.
Although the battle that day ended with the Ring of the Earth hitting the Dark Fog Horn.
But what exactly happened to the Misthorn, whether it really became a living creature, and what form it existed in, they still knew nothing about.
If we catch those two Hidden pirates, we might be able to learn something about them.
However, just when Kestrel was about to gather manpower to go to the outer city, his new and inexperienced secretary came hurriedly.
And this time he was even more anxious than last time. He shouted from afar:
"Captain, Captain, Jamie Tilly and Jerry Tilly are dead. They died at the Purple Flower Church. Investigators also found the poison used by the Hidden Man at the scene."
"What?"
Upon hearing the news, the extremely tired Kestrel was startled for a moment.
The hidden man's poison was found at the scene? Isn't it?
Since Shadow Strangers barely respond to mortals, the number of Unseen Ones is extremely rare.
Once they become hidden, their whereabouts become erratic and they often live alone in seclusion.
So as far as Kestrel knows, none of the registered permanent supernatural beings on Storm Island are Hidden Ones.
In this way, it seems that Jamie Tilly and Jerry Tilly were killed by the Hidden Pirates as the Great Diviner said.
Kestrel didn't dare to delay any longer, and he immediately took people to the Purple Flower Church area.
Although he didn't care about the death of the Tilly brothers, if the pirates appeared there, they would not go too far now.
The night wind blew from the sea to the land. Due to the chaos caused by Li Feng and Xia, the outer city of Fengxi City was busy and busy all night, and the lights were brightly lit.
The stars in the night sky were shifting, and white light gradually appeared in the east.
Kestrel and Ammu, who had been busy all night, found nothing. They really didn't want to watch the Storm's End soldiers search over and over again, so they returned to White Maple Manor.
Viscount Tilly was extremely sad and angry at the death of his children. He threatened to catch the murderers and cut them into pieces.
This incident also alerted Governor Penros Fell, who specifically authorized Viscount Tilly to lead a group of Storm's End soldiers to capture the pirates.
But the fact is that Viscount Tilly led his people to search the outer city, the dock area, and even any area in the suburbs, but there was no sign of the Hidden pirates at all.
Now, Kestrel estimated that Viscount Tilly should meet with the Governor and request to search the inner city.
However, he will definitely be rejected by both kindness and power, and on the grounds that the Viscount is too sad, he will temporarily hand over the arresting work and some of his rights in Storm's End to others.
Kestrel still knew Penlos Fell.
The eldest son and the second son, the heirs of the Tire family, died, and Governor Fehr was secretly happy.
Maybe he had just comforted Viscount Tilly with tears, and turned around to open a bottle of fine wine to celebrate.
As the governor, he does not want his subordinates to have prosperous heirs and become more and more stable.
And he just took this opportunity to weaken the Viscount's rights in Storm's End on the grounds that he was too sad.
Thinking of this, Kestrel sneered.
Just now he was angry that Li Feng, whose whereabouts were unknown, became a victim of politics.
Now, the two sons of the Tilly family have become victims of politics.
The Governor will definitely continue to order people to arrest the murderous pirates, but that is just one of the many orders he issues every day.
As long as the Hidden Pirates stop committing crimes, who cares except Viscount Tilly?
"With this situation now, the Governor will laugh out of his dreams."
Kestrel and Amu, who had been silent all this time, made a joke about the governor.
But Eminem was obviously not a suitable person to gossip with. He was silent for a while and then changed the subject:
"Why did the two Hidden pirates not kill others, but they took the risk to sneak into the church and kill the two brothers of the Tilly family?"
Kestrel: "..."
Eminem's question made Kestrel speechless for a moment.
It's not that he hasn't thought about this issue before, but perhaps out of his disgust for the Tilly family, he was instinctively happy to see this result and didn't even bother to think about it.
"If the two Tilly brothers die, who will benefit more?"
Eminem continued to ask.
As soon as these words came out, Kestrel couldn't help but be surprised, but felt that it was impossible:
"You're not doubting Rhine, are you? His life or death is uncertain now..."
"No, I didn't doubt him."
Eminem interrupted Kestrel:
"I'm wondering if it was the stranger in the shadow who ordered me."
It is well known that the advancement of the Hidden One requires the completion of tasks instructed by the Shadow Stranger.
Therefore, if there is a hidden person who does something unbelievable, it is very likely that it will be related to the Stranger in the Shadow.
"You mean... why? Why did He ask the believers to kill the two brothers from the house of Tire?"
Kestrel is even more confused as to why Jamie Tilly and Jerry Tilly deserve the attention of the Shadow Stranger.
"Do you still remember the prophecy made more than 100 years ago? About the protector of the seven gods."
"The Seven Gods' Protectors..."
Hong Falcon slowly recited these syllables, remembering the records he saw in the archives of the Earth Ring headquarters.
A hundred years ago, there was a legendary fortune teller in the Earth Ring.
He once predicted that more than 100 years later, there would be a person who could make the Seven Gods put aside their prejudices and protect each other together.
And this person would find out the reason why the extraordinary people in the world could not be promoted to a high level, and find out what affected the world and caused the high-level road to be cut off.
Hong Falcon remembered that it was after seeing this prophecy that he clearly knew that every extraordinary person had a promotion bottleneck.
It also understood from the side that the Seven Gods were not omnipotent. In the real world, there were some unknown existences that hindered them, and the Seven Gods could not or were unwilling to eliminate them.
Therefore, Hong Falcon also doubted the nature of the Seven Gods, suspecting that they were not as kind and omnipotent as the church preached.
Are they just extraordinary people who broke through the high level and then promoted to a level that ordinary people could not understand?
Of course, these Red Falcons were just thinking about it.
His thoughts returned to the prophecy of the Seven Gods Protectors. Could it be that...
Red Falcon felt a little unbelievable:
"You don't think Rhine is the prophecy of the Seven Gods Protectors, do you?"
"It's hard for me to believe the prophecy of a crazy fortune teller a hundred years ago, but..."
Am's hoarse voice sounded:
"Rhine is a hunter, a believer responded to by the goddess of hunting, and fate also made him discover the mysterious treasure flint.
Later, I heard that when he was seriously injured and went to the Purple Gold Flower Church, the goddess of wisdom and life healed his injuries instantly.
And now, it is suspected that the stranger in the shadow guided his believers to clear the people who were spying on his treasure for Rhine.
This kind of event has never happened, at least it has never been recorded.
But recently, we have actually witnessed this kind of thing happening, how to explain it?"
What Am said was indeed reasonable, and Red Falcon was silent for a while after hearing it.
Then he shook his head firmly:
"No, all this is based on the fact that Rhine is still alive.
If he is dead, your statement is not valid."
Am nodded in agreement.
Indeed, if people are dead, what is the blessing of the Seven Gods?
The night fell, and the sky was pale.
Li Feng, who was suspected of being the protector of the Seven Gods, was still lying on the beach and enjoying the sea breeze.
If he knew the speculation of Hongshun and Am, he would be very speechless.
The events that others thought were too legendary were just because he was a player and liked to strike first.
…
Guhe
The sky gradually brightened.
Hongshun and Am were still analyzing whether Li Feng was the protector of the Seven Gods in the prophecy.
Although they all knew in their hearts that all this was based on the premise that Li Feng was still alive.
But this matter was serious, and they couldn't help but make various speculations.
But they also eagerly hoped that the rescue ship would send news of Li Feng's whereabouts as soon as possible.
No matter dead or alive.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
There was a knock on the door, and Hongshun's easily startled secretary appeared again.
"Captain, captain! Our people found Rhine at the dock, and he was washed ashore by the sea."
Hearing this, Hongshun and Am were both stunned.
Hongshun opened his mouth, and he felt that he was even a little afraid to know the result.
After a while, he asked hesitantly:
"Then... Rhine..."
The secretary was a little stunned by the reactions of Hongshun and Am.
But the next second, he patted his head and reacted, and replied:
"Alive, Rhine is still alive, and I heard that he was not even injured."
Hongshun and Am were both shocked after hearing this, and they looked at each other quickly.
Being ambushed, missing, as a first-level hunter, he was alone in various strange dangers, and then sank into the sea with the Mist.
However, after going through so much, he was still washed ashore by the sea, and most importantly, he was not seriously injured?
"Washed ashore by the sea? Not seriously injured?"
Hongshun and Am both focused on this.
How else can such luck be explained except that the gods personally bless him?
Hongshun felt that he had heard enough shocking news today, but Rhine's news could still break the record.
"Where is he now?"
Hongshun asked anxiously.
"On the way to the manor."
The secretary replied, and then he thought for a moment and said:
"By the way, he also brought a big thing and said he wanted to show it to you."
...
When the sky was just getting light, Li Feng, who was resting on the beach, was discovered by the patrol.
After confirming his identity, the patrol called the members of the Ring of Earth.
After that, to everyone's shock, Li Feng was properly lifted onto the carriage and then headed to Baifeng Manor.
"You mean, this thing... is the Mist?"
In the medical room of Baifeng Manor, Hongshun finally saw Li Feng.
In order to prevent this strange heart from affecting the medical staff, after clearing out all non-supernatural people, Hong Falcon looked at the strange meat and asked Li Feng.
"I'm not completely sure, but it has indeed merged with the entire ship."
Li Feng recounted his experience.
He was ambushed by the two brothers of the Tilly family and fell into the lower cabin.
In the lower cabin, he saw the devil's minions and this strange heart, and later support arrived at the critical moment.
Finally, the strange heart was killed, and when he woke up, he was washed up on the beach.
And the strange heart corpse was washed up on the shore with him.
Li Feng told the story in detail, but he also concealed the fact that he found the fragments of Faranil's notes and was promoted to the Hidden One.
Hongshun listened carefully and nodded.
He was not sure what this thing was, or what affected the Mist to grow such a "heart".
In the supernatural realm, there are too many strange and unknown things.
Hongshun decided to send this strange ship heart to the headquarters of the Earth Ring, where the mystery of the matter might be solved.
At the same time, Hongshun was also very fortunate, even if the matter of the Seven Gods' Protectors was put aside for the time being.
As for the current Mist incident, if Li Feng had not experienced all this, if he had not been able to come back alive, then the true situation of the Mist would probably be a mystery that could never be solved.
Li Feng returned safely and brought back important evidence. It can be said that he was the one who put a full stop to this operation.
The tired Hong Falcon finally felt relaxed.
Now that the Earth Ring already has the heart of the Mist as a research object, he doesn't need to catch the two hidden pirates anymore, let Feng's End do it.
And even if the pirates are caught, Feng's End can't grasp more truths than the Earth Ring.
The relaxed Hong Falcon looked at Li Feng. No matter from which aspect, he admired this young man more and more.
And Hong Falcon thought that he should write a report for Li Feng and apply for enough remuneration for him in the Earth Ring.
After a few words of small talk, Hong Falcon asked Li Feng to have a good rest.
Perhaps for the purpose of reassuring Li Feng, Hong Falcon also told him that the two brothers of the Tilly family who plotted against him had been killed by pirates.
Li Feng was a little confused when he heard the news at first.
Maybe there were too many things happening recently. As the real murderer, he almost forgot about it after relaxing on the beach for a night.
What surprised and doubted him even more was that.
The great fortune teller of Fengxi Castle actually predicted that pirates would go ashore and kill people.
But considering the facts, the fortune teller's fortune telling ability must be not good.
After all, he, as the real murderer, was not a pirate, and the real pirate had died long ago.
But Li Feng thought about it and realized that the fortune teller's fortune telling result was too favorable to him.
This was simply a false evidence left for him from the side, providing a strong basis.
Combined with the fact that he happily sent him medicine last time, Li Feng suddenly felt that the great fortune teller of Fengxi Castle was quite interesting.
Li Feng had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and Hongshun naturally didn't know.
Seeing that Li Feng was silent, he comforted him a few more words.
Then he suddenly changed the subject and continued to say to Li Feng in a comforting tone:
"The fusion of secret treasures has never been an easy thing, you don't have to be discouraged."
Li Feng was stunned by these words. He knew that extraordinary people could sense extraordinary fluctuations, and high-level people could sense extraordinary fluctuations, especially low-level people.
But he had clearly already fused the flint to 90% and became a first-level ninth-rank hunter.
Now he was just a little bit away from completing the fusion, but why did Hong Falcon say that.
When Hong Falcon saw him stunned, he explained:
"As a Holy Judge, I have a more acute perception. I can feel that the extraordinary fluctuations in you are still first-level.
But you don't have to be discouraged. Flint is a very special secret treasure. As long as you explore the method of fusing it, you will always find the right way."
Still first-level?
Hearing this, Li Feng's mind turned a few corners, and then he understood.
Because as a player, Li Feng is not only a first-level ninth-rank hunter, but also a first-level hidden person.
But by chance, he is not a member of the Abyss.
This particularity led to Hong Falcon's misjudgment of his rank, which is not incomprehensible.
After thinking about this, Li Feng was hesitating about how to answer Hong Falcon, but heard him say again.
"I will help you apply for a batch of mithril bullets from the headquarters. No matter what, helping the Earth Ring will not cost you anything.
And as a reward, the Earth Ring will reimburse you for the subsequent purchase of mithril bullets until you have completed the fusion of the flint."
Reimburse the cost of purchasing mithril bullets?
Li Feng was surprised and happy to hear this.
Suddenly, I felt that being mistaken for a first-level hunter was great.
