Mystery: Shadow of Order Chapter 276

Backlund, West Balam Dockyard, abandoned warehouse.

In the open space surrounded by the abandoned warehouse, the "Heart of Machinery" came and went, and came and went. The person in charge of this incident has changed from the team leader to a deacon-level powerhouse.

Inconser Bernard's brown hair was always messy and stubbornly stretched out, even if he was wearing a hat, he couldn't hide it. He is the leader of this team and the deacon of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery. He has been investigating this case for more than ten days, but he still has no clues.

He was holding an ancient silver mirror with an ancient pattern. There was an eye-like decoration on each side of the mirror. They were based on black gemstones and looked dark and charming.

This is the Sealed Artifact "2-111", named Magic Mirror Arrodes, which can answer the owner's questions, but it needs someone to be by his side when asking questions.

Although Yoon Kangseh once asked Arrodes, and even exposed his sexual orientation, the male members of "Heart of Machines" did not dare to approach him. Just like now, he is standing in the middle of the open space with Arrodes, while the rest of the members are scattered around, discussing something in a low voice.

A hint of helplessness appeared on Yin Kangse's hard and clear face. After ten days of investigation into this case, no clues were found. I only know that the eucalyptus pieces are likely to be members of the Rose School, but even the magic mirror Arrodes couldn't see their faces clearly, so it is customary to seal them up.

This is a relatively common thing within the three major churches, especially in Backlund, where there are many Beyonders, the church personnel are limited, and unless the impact is too great, the investigation will be temporarily abandoned. This kind of battle between Extraordinary takes place in a remote location and does not involve ordinary people. Obviously, those people have some understanding of the rules of the church.

But this morning, the archbishop found himself and said that MI9 would send someone to assist in the investigation. If the investigation still fails, consider sealing it up.

This is a rare thing. In Loen, the three major churches will cooperate because of the extraordinary case, but MI9 has always had little dealings with the three major churches. Even though Yin Kangse knew that MI9 had caught several members of the Rose School some time ago, he still did not have information exchanges with MI9.

But since His Excellency the Archbishop has said so, Yin Kangse had to lead a team to this abandoned West Balam dock again, and wait for MI9 to come and investigate together.

More than ten minutes later, MI9 came to assist in the investigation. Not many people came. There were only three people, two men and one woman, all wearing MI9's iconic golden masks. The difference was that the two men were tall and the other was short, and the only woman was about the same height as the shorter man.

The tall man stepped forward and shook hands with Deacon Yoon Kangseul:

"Deacon Yoon Kangse?"

"it's me."

Yin Kangse stern face, tried not to look at the expressions on the faces of his subordinates, and began to introduce the investigation of the incident by the Steam Church.

It was the first time that Xiu, who came out as a member of MI9, helped the mask on his face, which was a little unnatural. It was a bit of a test of his psychological quality to cooperate with the "Heart of Machinery" of the Church of Steam. Especially the inexplicable expressions on these people's faces made her always think that her identity was exposed.

"Can you show us the scene?"

Yin Kangse's expression was even more ugly. Although he knew that he couldn't escape this inquiry, it was not the same thing to be humiliated by himself and in front of outsiders. He pulled out a smile and picked up the magic mirror Arrodes:

"You can ask it yourself."

The tall man hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Xio, she was the main force of this investigation.

Xio glanced at the surrounding "Heart of Machinery" members, and the expressions on their faces seemed to be a bit wrong. Could it be dangerous to use this sealed artifact?

"No, since Deacon Yin Kangse holds the Sealed Artifact, it's up to you to ask."

This time, she came on a normal mission. If the "Heart of Machinery" did not cooperate, she would go back directly. After all, MI9 was only assisting in the investigation this time, and it was not necessary to investigate the truth.

"Whoo~, okay."

Yin Kangse took off his hat, looked at the magic mirror in his hand, and took two deep breaths:

"Dear Arrodes, my question is, who were involved in what happened at this place the night before eleven days ago?"

There were streaks of water on the surface of the silver mirror, and a familiar picture of Yin Kangse emerged. Xio cautiously stepped forward and looked at the silhouettes displayed above.

Wearing a long black double-breasted dress and a half-height silk top hat, with a distorted figure, a face so smudged that it is difficult to see, and a man with oil paint; a middle-aged man wearing a dark red cloak and his arms burning with dazzling flames A man; a woman in a long black court dress with a messy blond hair; two men with black hair all over their bodies...

These people are clearly shown in the frame, but their faces are blurred.

No wonder "Heart of Machinery" couldn't be found. Unless you are very familiar with these people, it is impossible to find them with these pictures... Xio saw that the mirror was dark, and was about to step forward to take a closer look, but found a line of Gufu Sark words come to the fore.

"According to the principle of reciprocity, it is my turn to ask questions."

"If you answer wrong, or lie, you will be punished."

The word "punishment" was blood-stained, causing Xio to take a few steps back and look at Deacon Yoon Kangse.

The expression on Yin Kangse's face was distorted at first, and then it became very solemn.

Immediately afterwards, the water above the silver mirror flashed, and a new line of words appeared:

"Is your liking for him affected by his status?"

Yin Kangse was stunned for a moment, then shook his head firmly:

"No."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the three people from MI9 looking straight at him, and the right hand of the man who had just shaken his hand was rubbing vaguely on his clothes.

Xio coughed lightly. There is a writer friend who is more accepting than others. She just read the book that Fors wrote recently, it was terrible, male to female, female to female, she doubted whether this book could be published...

"This is what you need."

Rawls handed over a letter, which was a certificate sent by Philip. He didn't care what Rawls did, as long as he could get evidence of Auston Leavitt's treason, this kind of thing. He can write dozens of copies at will.

Royin Jin, who was sitting opposite, picked up the letter without opening it, and stuffed it into his pocket. Inspiration told him that this was what he needed.

"You've got this, when do you need the 'Dream Catcher', I'm leaving here soon."

Luo Yin Jin's eyes were half-closed and half-open, he raised his right hand, and his thumb wandered on the rest of the knuckles for a while:

"It will take a few days, and it will be almost the next time we meet."

Rawlston shrank, then returned to normal, leaned back on the sofa, and sneered:

"I didn't know there was such a divination method." After speaking, he also learned Royin Jin's movements, but it was more fancy, as if he had a cramp.

"It's an ancient method of divination, you don't know it's normal."

If you close your eyes and listen, maybe some people will really believe this old voice, but Rawls opened his eyes. This kind of words came out of the mouth of a young face, and the credibility is really not high.

"How old is it, older than the School of Life?"

The School of Life was established at the beginning of the Fifth Epoch, with a history of more than a thousand years, almost as long as the history of the Four Kingdoms of the Northern Continent.

"I don't know either. I read it from a scrap book within the school." Royin King shook his head, then looked at Rawls with a half-smile, "Are you interested in this?"

"Of course, you must know that the Extraordinary was not like the present. Even an ordinary book in the Fourth Epoch may hide the secret of the Extraordinary."

Rawls did not deny that although a "lawyer" has eloquence, when faced with a yes or no multiple-choice question, the object of the question is still a highly inspired "winner", and eloquence is of little use.

"That may take a while. You know our current situation is not good." Royin Jin did not refuse. Although he had already paid for an extraordinary item, he was able to befriend the Negan family. A piece of cake.

"It's okay, do you know anything about Stie Island?"

"Stee Island, the island north of Oravi?"

"Um."

Luo Yin Jin pinched his eyebrows and mobilized his memory from his mind:

"I remember it was an uninhabited island. Except for pirates, almost no ships would stop there. Are you going to that island?"

"Some people say that there are ghost foxes there, but according to the ghost fox information I have collected, it seems that there should not be ghost foxes there."

Then, Rawls told the information about the ghost fox collected by Alysia one by one, and asked Luo Yin Jin, the local snake, to take a look.

The ghost fox itself is not much different from the fox, except that the color of its fur is snow-white, and at night there will be glowing blue patterns on its limbs and claws. With the running of the ghost fox, it is like a jumping ghost fire.

Normally, the food of ghost foxes is spirit, their eyes can see spirit bodies, and they can also capture ghosts or ghosts, but Sti Island is an uninhabited island. Even if a small number of indigenous people lived there in the past, the ghost fox could not be maintained.

"Aboriginal people lived there in the past?" Luo Yin Jin frowned, "That's possible. The indigenous people here believe in 'Sea God' Kavitua, and their beliefs are still in the primitive sacrifice stage, advocating living sacrifices. In a rather ignorant state. Since Loen colonized here, there have been very few live sacrifices, but there are still many indigenous people who are willing to sacrifice Kavituwa with live sacrifices, but they are either in the jungle or on uninhabited deserted islands. ."

"You think it's possible that Isle of Stie is like that?"

Rawls has already sat up and put his fingers crossed on the coffee table. If this is the case, in addition to hunting ghosts and foxes, he must also pay attention to the natives.

"Maybe, it's just that it has surpassed the belief area of ​​Kavituwa."

Rawls nodded, no matter what, he still went to Stie Island once. Aboriginals rarely have Beyonders, and even if they have a sequence, they will not be too high, as long as they are careful not to encounter them on the sea.

The two continued to chat for a few words, mainly about some news in the Central Sunia waters, especially about the rule of Olavi Governor Auston Levitt.

Luo Yin Jin's evaluation of this governor is not bad. He has been buying a large number of fields and manors in Auston in the past few years, although he has used his brother, the supreme commander of the Navy in the Central Sunia Sea, Amyliu. The title of Admiral Sri Lanka, but still paid enough money.

The School of Life also has some manors in Oravi, and even if they rejected the acquisition of the Levitt family, they did not let Auston use other means to force the manor out. It's just this crisis of the Life School. Those manors only left servants and workers. Although they don't know the inside story, it is very likely that the Levitt family will propose another acquisition.

During the conversation, Rawls gradually led the topic:

"Auston's location is really not very good. If you don't find that there is a Tuscat Island to the east, it's hard to say whether it will be developed."

"Even if there is no Toscat Island, isn't there still Gargas Island in Feysac?" Royin King didn't seem to notice the gradual change in the topic, maybe he did, but he didn't care.

"It is Feysac after all. If there is no Toscat Island, Oravi is likely to become the base of the Loen Navy. After all, Sunia Island has been in Feysac's hands for more than 700 years."

"It's been seven hundred years, do the people on Sunia Island still remember this? Even if Loen defeats Feysac through war, the chances of getting back Sunia Island are very small."

That's not necessarily true. If Feysac is defeated, Sonia Island will be a good garrison... Rawls continued to ask:

"Is the trade between Auston and Gargas Island very frequent? Not long ago, Loen lost the war with Feysac on the east coast of Balam."

"Even without this war, the trade with Feysac is not much, it is more just smuggling. Gargas Island has a well-developed whaling industry, and their whaling ships can travel very far and have a large displacement..."

whaler? Rawls nodded slightly, this is a clue, as long as you find a deserted island, you don't need to trade in Auston at all.

In the spiritual world, among the messy overlapping color blocks and the faintly permeable gray-white fog, a huge three-masted sailboat covered in pure black is slowly moving forward, and the hull looks extremely illusory.

The boat was nearly 100 meters long, and three black canvases hung high like a flag.

On its deck, against the back of the cabin stood a mottled stone chair two or three meters high, on which sat a behemoth that could rival the ancient giants.

small book booth

He has a black beard that just goes past his neck, wears a tall crown of spires, and a gorgeous robe with a black background and silver borders.

"King of the Five Seas" Nast slowly got up, jumped up and disappeared into the spiritual world, leaving only the "Dark Emperor" still moving slowly there.

Thirty nautical miles away from the port of Tiana, a huge fleet was heading for the port. It was the Pritzker fleet that Rolls was on when he came. This fleet is about to complete the voyage training from Tuscat Island to the port of Tiana. The voyage for more than ten days has consumed three-quarters of the coal reserves on the fleet, and it needs to go to the port of Tiana for replenishment.

In the captain's room of the HMS Pritzker, the former commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy, Pablo Connery, had a gloomy expression, and the Rear Admiral Wilson opposite him lowered his head and did not say a word.

This time, the voyage training was well completed, but the actual combat training was not experienced much. Only the pirate ship was encountered in the early stage. In the second half, it seemed that all the pirates got the news and avoided the fleet's channel.

Pablo, who wanted to say more, looked out the window before opening his mouth.

"The King of the Five Seas" Nast is looking down at the iron armored fleet in the sky.
