Chapter 109 Private Commission
The three eyes were staring at the empty box, and the expressions on their faces were very strange for a moment.
Especially Rick who was escorting him, a mid-level soul changer with level 6 power, his face turned red at this time, the muscles in his cheeks were trembling, his fists were clenched tightly, and he suddenly turned back to look around.
However, the square was still bustling with people coming and going, and a few boat shadows sailed away on the sea. The sky was so vast that it was impossible to tell who was the enemy involved in this operation.
"I, you, this..."
Every word of those confident words he just said was like a slap in the face. Rick's face was so hot that he didn't even dare to look at Lynch and couldn't say a complete sentence.
However, even though Rick was slapped in the face, Lynch couldn't laugh.
What was lost was his stuff, and all he could think about now was: Is there any transportation insurance in this world?
Of course not. He also knew that the Church of the Night was so large that he would not suffer a loss if there was a problem during transportation. However, this thing was related to his own path to immortality, and its importance could not be replaced by anything.
Moreover, Trinleth has already made it clear that there is only this one, and it is impossible for the Church of the Night to come up with another one soon. Although for the sake of their own credibility, they will definitely find a way to collect another one, but the number of this thing in existence is originally They are so rare, who knows when they will be found.
More importantly, what Trinleis said just now is right. This thing is meaningless to other people. Why would anyone focus on it?
"I'm sorry, Mr. Leviv." Archbishop Trinleth was also a little embarrassed. For the Church of the Night, this was quite embarrassing.
"Now is not the time to blame yourself, Your Excellencies." Lynch sighed, "The most important thing to do now is to find a way to get things back. Although what happened cannot be changed, at least it can be rectified in time. "
As he said that, Lynch squatted down next to the box and observed carefully, at least to figure out how the things were lost.
It is a very strong metal box, just like a mobile safe. The metal wall is three fingers thick and cannot be broken through by abnormal means, not to mention that there are no signs of breakthrough around it.
The cover is of the same thickness and can only be opened by using a password and two keys at the same time. The key is in the hands of the custodian and was not used until the handover, and there is no sign that the keyhole has been pried open.
There were no signs of damage, and the escort said that he didn't even sleep the whole time, so how could he lose it? .
Lin Qi was confused for a moment, and together with the other two people, they checked the inside and outside of the box. Only then did the three of them realize that the box was not empty.
There was a piece of paper stuck to the wall of the box, and then the box fell down with a flash.
what?
Lin Qi did not dare to start directly. Instead, he found two thin sticks and picked up the paper like chopsticks. Only then did he discover that there was a strange pattern drawn on the back of the paper.
Six legs support a toad-like body, and the head is a human-like face, which makes people shudder when looking at it.
Lin Qi only felt a headache. He was too familiar with this thing. He was an old friend, the image of the Ancient Glitter, the ruler of the old days. He thought that after taking the opportunity to remove the mark of the sacrifice, there would be no chance of dealing with him in the future. Unexpectedly, just after After four days, I actually saw this thing again.
"At this time... the Ancient Flicker?" Six-star Priest Rick's face was gloomy as if he was about to freeze, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Its cultists rarely cause trouble in public, how could they suddenly do such a thing."
"You know it too?"
"Of course, there are records in the church's documents that he is an ancient evil god who has been sleeping in the ancient city called Enkai all year round. He has stolen several divine powers of sleeping, teleporting, and spreading." Knight Rick replied casually, "Generally, those who follow it Cultists are businessmen who need to spread information, and they have never had any conflict with the church. Why, huh? Your face...have you ever had contact with it?"
"Well, it is a good person, no, a good god. In order to protect my soul, it did not hesitate to collide with the web spinner. I am very grateful to it, but it seemed a little reluctant to leave in the end."
Lynch sighed softly and briefly recounted the experience of those two days, and the expressions on the audience's faces became quite wonderful. After all, there are not many people who can be so confident in tricking two evil gods at once.
"Okay, I admit, it may not be happy. It seems that its followers are here for me. Everything else is intact, only the reward for me has disappeared. They are here to take revenge on me. It's obvious that they provoked me first, but they still have the nerve to take revenge, and they must be too well-informed."
While muttering like this, Lin Qi realized in his heart that the reason why the other party was so well-informed was probably not simple, and it was probably revealed to them by the League of Shadows. It can be seen that the other party is not just sacrificing himself to the evil god, but must have other purposes to be so entangled.
Although I still don’t know what they want to do, I must not follow their ideas. Since they want to take away my Holy Mystery, even if the Church of the Night can find other memories, I must take this one back. I must not Let them have their way. However, wouldn’t this be a waste of work? That won't work.
Muttering in his heart, Lynch suddenly showed a serious expression: "These cultists are too rampant and dare to openly attack the supply ship of the Lord God Church. This is not only contempt for the law, but also blasphemy against the goddess of the night. We must do it as quickly as possible Find them out and let everyone see that the church is not inviolable. But if there is a way to get rid of them through official channels, there is no need to wait until now. As a private detective with a righteous heart, I have decided to help you find them. Murderer, find the lost property."
The archbishop was stunned for a long time, and then said strangely: "Mr. Leviv, don't you think these words should be said before determining their true target? Now it is time for us to work together to recover the lost property, right?"
"I didn't think of it just now, so I'll make it up now. For the professional quality of a private detective, the reward must still be calculated." Lynch said confidently, "And although his target is me, in the end he wants to snatch it from you. You are the one who got away and was humiliated. Do you want this matter to be handled openly by the authorities, or handed over to other private investigators, so that everyone can know that the goddess of the night was provoked by several cultists? Of course, it was solved secretly by hiring insiders. "
Can you make a fortune in this way? Archbishop Trinleth looked at Lynch in surprise and exclaimed: "I underestimated you, Mr. Leviev."
"I take this as a compliment."
"But you are right. This is a provocation to the church. It is better to solve it as secretly as possible. Let me give you two days. If you can't find clues, you must publicly announce the reward. If you can find it in time, Clues, Knight Rick and I will give you a rare item in our own name. Don’t worry, it will definitely be useful to you.”
"make a deal."
After stopping rubbing his fingers, Lynch nodded with satisfaction, but Rick Knight blushed, and it took him a long time to whisper: "Thank you."
Um? Lynch was a little surprised. In fact, his pretentious negotiation with Trinleth was to help Rick make up for his mistakes without hurting Rick's face. Only in this way could he avoid being punished for dereliction of duty. Unexpectedly, this conceited knight could actually see it.
"Instead of saying thank you to this person, why not give him a few more pounds?" Trinleth patted Rick Knight on the shoulder, pointed at the box and asked, "Lynch, you are a professional, do you have any clues? "
"First we need to find out how the other party stole the thing." Lin Qi. He knocked on the box and said thoughtfully, "You just said that this evil god's power includes teleportation?"
"Yes, but I have been holding the box and never left my body. If someone uses the ability on the box, it is equivalent to using it on me. They must go through a confrontation with me first, and I cannot be unaware of it."
"I see, but it did happen. Did you really never leave? Not even for a moment?"
"Um?"
