Chapter 94: Mrs. Alving

"Why?"

After Li Feng and Kestrel left Storm's End, they walked on the streets of the inner city where the roads were clean and smooth, and flowers and plants were planted on both sides of the road.

Li Feng raised the king's order in his hand and said:

"I mean this, why?"

"Uh, this..."

Kestrel knew Li Feng would ask.

But regarding the prophecy of the Blessed Ones of the Seven Gods, the top brass of the Earth Ring had asked him to keep it strictly confidential.

Firstly, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better. Secondly, letting the person being predicted know the truth will somewhat disrupt the prophecy about him.

The midday sun burned the earth, and the kestrel considered its words as it walked.

He once asked Amu to help Li Feng find a human asylum in the royal city, so as to prevent Li Feng from being influenced by Governor Feier and affecting his pursuit of promotion to demigod.

Kestrel always felt relieved when Eminem was doing things, but Kestrel never expected that what Eminem found for Li Feng was actually the king's protection.

There must be some high-level officials from the Earth Ring and some big families in the royal city playing a role in this.

But this also shows that the forces involved in this matter are becoming more and more numerous and complex.

But how to tell Li Feng about this matter.

Kestrel didn't have Li Feng's talent for telling lies with his eyes open. Ten seconds passed and he still hadn't made up the reason.

Looking at the hesitant Kestrel, Li Feng somewhat guessed.

"You...I mean, everyone who prompted the king to issue the writ, do you want to know the contents of Faranir's notes?"

Kestrel didn't say anything, and Li Feng didn't want to ask for details, but he still needed to confirm the intentions of those people.

Hearing Li Feng's words, Kestrel smiled bitterly:

"The devil revealed his secret to the world that night, and now no one wants to know the contents of Faranir's notes."

"I see."

Li Feng looked at the spacious road ahead and replied silently.

It's funny to think about it.

Now, not only the person behind the Moon Shadow Potion wants him to investigate Faranir.

Even the Ring of the Earth, those he knew and those he didn't know, were trying to get him to investigate Faranir.

"I need the most detailed history of Storm Island."

Li Feng suddenly said, and then he added:

"We also want the family histories of all the nobles on the island."

Now that things have come to this, no matter what the purpose of the Earth Ring, the king, and some other forces is, at least now they have the same goal.

Li Feng had to investigate anyway, so he might as well borrow more of their resources while they had the same goal to complete the matter as soon as possible.

Moreover.

Compared with the governor, those forces, at least in the beginning, brought huge benefits to Li Feng's status.

The exchange of interests between the two parties is legitimate and reasonable.

This was the fundamental reason why Li Feng did not reject them.

Over there, Kestrel was stunned when he heard Li Feng's request to check history.

After understanding Li Feng's intention, Kestrel somewhat admired his determination.

Then Kestrel himself said nothing more and just said:

"good."

…

Time passed quickly, and it was early morning two days later.

Li Feng was in the church dormitory, packing up the manuscripts he had recorded from various Storm Island histories.

These books on island history and family history were all prepared by Kestrel for him by White Maple Manor.

Moreover, many of these books are very secret records within the Ring of the Earth.

Even in the largest library on Storm Island, it is impossible to find such complete contents without concealment and deletions.

And Li Feng also successfully found a family that met the following characteristics: Wood County people, descendants of giants, and nobles who own castles.

The family's surname is Alvin.

But another thing that Li Feng was very surprised about.

Mrs. Alvin of the previous generation was actually the person he had seen in the Wood County Chronicle, the person whose body disappeared mysteriously after death.

As for Faranir, Li Feng found only two places recording this name from the huge historical data.

One is a letter sent home from the battlefield a hundred years ago.

The writer was a soldier on the battlefield.

In the letter he sent home, he mentioned that he encountered a great crisis while on the northern battlefield.

But fortunately, he was rescued by a mysterious hunter who specializes in hunting demons.

According to the writer's letter, the hunter's name is Faranier, and he, like the writer, is from Wood County.

Perhaps out of concern for the friendship with his fellow villagers, Faranir, who had been alone all this time, decided to send the writer back to the human camp.

They lived together for half a month while searching for a human camp.

According to the letter, the hunter Faranir is very capable but has a weird temper.

Although he is a human being, he never associates with humans.

The sender also wrote in an exaggerated tone that this Faranir actually had contact with the mermaid in the mysterious sea.

Moreover, he is also a guest of the wood elves.

In this letter, the hunter Faranir is very legendary, but in the end it is limited to this letter.

As for another record of this name, it is from a small newspaper fifty years ago.

There was an inconspicuous advertisement in a small newspaper, saying that someone had invented an ointment that could 100% remove scars.

And one of the inventors of this ointment is Faranir.

The advertisement boasted so much that Li Feng immediately realized that this ointment might not be an ordinary ointment, but some kind of alchemical product.

But Li Feng went to find the newspapers after this one, and found that the advertisement had disappeared.

Later, some buyers went to the newspaper office and the newspaper office had to issue a statement to apologize.

So, there are two Faranil, one hunter and one suspected alchemist.

The hunter Faranil is powerful and mysterious, while the alchemist Faranil is a hateful and somewhat miserable liar.

So, which one is the real Faranil who is related to flint and notes?

Li Feng listed all the conditions on paper and wrote and drew for a long time.

Later, he felt more and more that these two people might be Faranil.

Who stipulated that the Faranil related to flint and notes must be one person?

Maybe he inherited his father's business, who can say.

Not daring to trust his own guess completely, Li Feng took out the fortune teller's letter opener.

After the process was completed, the letter paper opened by the letter opener showed:

"Father's father is grandfather, son's son is grandson."

Looking at this inhuman result, Li Feng smiled.

His conclusion was correct.

"Swish--"

The match struck a spark, gas flames, and Li Feng burned all the draft papers he used for deduction.

The morning sun shone on the earth.

The outer city of Fengxi City entered a new day, and the reconstruction work continued.

Li Feng, who had collected information from various historical books and materials, went to the tailor shop with ease.

That day, Xia funded Li Feng 3,000 gold for running away, so now, Li Feng is quite well-off financially.

Since Li Feng started with a shipwreck, he did not have any personal belongings.

In addition to the two sets of priest clothes given to him by the church after he became a priest in the Purple Gold Flower Church, Li Feng also had a set of clothes that he could wear out.

Since he was going to Wood County, some necessary luggage still had to be purchased.

Formal suits, shirts, hats and canes, Li Feng bought two sets of each.

One set was of medium to high quality and price, while the other set was the most expensive and best.

After buying all this, Li Feng went to the train station again.

Unlike the trains in the player world, the steam train station in the game world is like an antique exhibition area in a museum.

In the grand and boundless white steam, Li Feng bought a map of Storm Island, a train timetable, and a ticket to the Wetland County at the southernmost tip of Storm Island.

This train will leave in three hours.

During this time, Li Feng was not in a hurry and returned to the church as if he was swaggering through the city.

He simply packed up his almost empty luggage, and then said goodbye to each priest without shying away from the destination.

Finally, he returned to the train station and boarded the train.

During this time, Li Feng did not change into new clothes.

He was still wearing the black priest's clothes and carrying the newly bought white suitcase in his hand. The black and white match made him quite conspicuous in the crowd.

Soon, with a long whistle, the train started slowly.

Since Li Feng bought an ultra-long-distance train, most of the trains were private rooms for people to rest.

Perhaps because of the departure station, there were not many people on the train at this moment.

After walking through the long corridor with few people, Li Feng found his private room.

He looked behind him calmly and entered the private room.

However, after a while, Li Feng heard the footsteps of three or five people entering the two adjacent private rooms in front and behind him.

But unlike the usual noise on the train, these people were very quiet after entering the private room, as if they were eavesdropping on something in secret.

Li Feng, who was leisurely looking at the train schedule, smiled:

‘Sure enough, it came quite fast. ’

Compared with modern trains, steam trains can be said to be very slow.

Looking at the scenery outside the window that was constantly receding and had entered the night, Li Feng finished the dinner brought by the train attendant.

After another one or two hours, many passengers in the compartments of the train, which had few entertainment facilities, had turned off the lights and rested.

Li Feng did the same. He turned off the lights, but did not rest.

In the darkness, he changed into the newly bought black suitcase of medium price and quality, put on a top hat, took a cane, and put on a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

After that, he tore off all the white paper on the white suitcase, revealing his original brown color.

After the makeover, Li Feng put all the priest's clothes and white paper into the system backpack.

So far, from the appearance, he has completely changed.

Just as Li Feng packed everything up, the train slowly entered the station.

Hearing the loud shouts on the platform, he had arrived at Liema Town.

The door of the train opened, and passengers got on and off.

In the dark compartment, Li Feng entered the shadow world.

The scene in front of him suddenly became black and white, but it also became much brighter.

Following the not-so-large flow of people, Li Feng got off the train.

The changed appearance was a safety net. To shake off the tracker, he relied most on the two abilities of the Hidden Person.

From the history and geography books of Storm Island.

Li Feng learned that the address of Liema Town was critical and it was an important transportation hub of Storm Island.

There was a train station here that was larger than that of Fengxi City. Passenger trains and freight trains traveled here all day long.

Mixed in the busy crowd, Li Feng confirmed that he had shaken off the people following him, and then found a hidden place to show up.

As for who sent the person following him, Li Feng did not explore it.

Whether they are people from the governor, people from the king, or people from other forces, they are all just looking for clues from Faranir's notes.

But no matter who it was, Li Feng was unwilling to let them follow.

Mixed in the busy crowd, Li Feng lowered the brim of his hat and queued up to buy a ticket for the train that was about to leave.

The route of this train will pass through Wood County.

After getting the ticket, Li Feng sighed in his heart.

Fortunately, the train was not late, otherwise even if I had the train timetable, I wouldn't be able to arrange the time so well.

The night was still dark, and soon, Li Feng officially got on the train to Wood County.

Because of the switch, it originally only took two days to get from Fengxi City to Wood County, but it took Li Feng only three days.

Three days after setting foot on the steam train for the first time, Li Feng finally arrived in Wood County in the dim light of the morning.

With the help of the invisible person's ability, Li Feng once again successfully got rid of the stalker waiting in Wood County.

Then he hired a carriage and went to Alvin Manor.

Fifty years ago, Mrs. Alvin died in middle age, but soon after the funeral, her grave was dug up and her body disappeared.

In the end, Mr. Alvin did some research and found the crazy alchemist who appeared at his wife's funeral and said he could resurrect Mrs. Alvin.

But when everyone found him, the alchemist had already shot himself to death.

But he was undoubtedly the most suspicious, but until the end, no one found Mrs. Alvin's body or any clues near the alchemist's residence.

Li Feng thought of this unsolved case and combined it with the article he saw in a small newspaper fifty years ago about one of the inventors of scar removal ointment.

Li Feng highly doubted that the crazy alchemist was also one of the inventors of the scar removal ointment - Faranir from his grandson.

Wood County is landlocked.

Unlike Wind's Breath City, there are no dense residential areas, no docks, and no huge steamships.

There are lush hills and fields with lush crops everywhere.

Li Feng was riding a carriage on a rural road, looking at the scenery on both sides. Nothing happened on either side. Li Feng started chatting with the carriage driver and asked about Alvin Manor.

"Oh, this place has been abandoned for a long time."

The coachman pointed at the approaching castle and said:

"I remember that after Mr. Alvin died, his only daughter went to live with relatives.

Later, the manor and the castle were sold to a timber merchant. "

The coachman is a local, somewhat old, and knows a lot.

“But later, the mountain was always haunted, and the lumber dealer was so scared that he moved away.

As for the ghost, people said it was the ghost of a cursed giant who refused to let outsiders live in his castle. "

The carriage driver turned back to look at Li Feng:

"Hmm...don't you know, the ancestor of the Alvin family once married a cursed giant.

So you see..."

The coachman pointed to the castle where the specific details could be seen clearly, and said to Li Feng:

"Look at the castle, there are many sculptures of giants holding axes."

Li Feng kept his eyes fixed on the castle. Indeed, this was the castle he had seen in the fantasy.

The first scene in the illusion has been found.

Looking at the castle that had been abandoned for a long time, Li Feng suddenly thought of another thing. He asked the carriage driver:

"You just said it was haunted. Where did you say it was?"

"Mountain."

The coachman pulled the reins to slow down the carriage.

Then he pointed to the rolling hills on the right and said:

“It’s in the woods, but I don’t know where exactly.

I've heard about hauntings, but I don't have the guts to go see it myself. "

Following the direction of the coachman's finger, Li Feng looked at the dense forest and had an idea in his mind.

He asked the coachman to stop and paid him.

After the coachman was completely gone, Li Feng climbed up the rolling hills with a cane in one hand and a revolver in the other.
