Chapter 127: Fishing, even salted fish want to fish
"Laneverus? Who is this person? Is he worthy of the same hunting level as Qilingos?" Cons asked doubtfully, holding a wanted poster with a portrait of a young man with black hair and brown eyes, who had an ordinary face, a full forehead, and a sarcastic smile on his lips.
There wasn't much information on the wanted warrant, except that he was related to the Aurora Society, had an extremely dangerous seal on him, and his true sequence was a Sequence 8 Swindler.
After the emergency meeting, Old Blue frowned and explained:
"This is a wanted order from the Church of Evernight. It involves a fraud case in Tingen. Behind the fraud is a conspiracy by the Aurora Society, a ceremony to grant divinity.
"In the past, this ritual has actually been performed many times, but basically, it would fail naturally without our intervention. According to the materials seized, the ritual itself is extremely difficult, and the requirements for the divine receptor are also very high. The ritual will also produce a lot of noise...
“But it actually succeeded so quietly this time… It’s a bit strange.
"Our main mission is still Qi Lingos. Just keep an eye on this wanted criminal during the search."
Kang Si recovered from the shock of the old man's description of "divinity" and "ritual" and said hurriedly:
"Okay, Mr. Blue, I've got his appearance memorized.
“Divinity… is it the divinity of a demigod? Sequence 8 has obtained divinity… Really…”
Looking at the somewhat excited Cons, Old Blue curled his lips. Lanevus was being held by the Aurora Society to take care of the fetus. Oh no, raising a "seedling". The divinity was combining with the seedling and was gradually replaced... Are you still envious?
"Don't be too ambitious. For that swindler, gaining divinity is not necessarily a good thing. If he doesn't advance step by step according to the sequence of potions, he will often go crazy and lose control. Maybe he has become a monster now.
“You should have been told something similar before you became a Beyonder.” Old Blue said after thinking for a while.
Kang Si breathed a sigh of relief, and after calming down, he said:
"Yes, my superiors at MI9 specifically warned me about this. Sorry, I got a little impatient...
"Hey, Mr. Blue, what should we do next?"
This feeling of not having to think or make plans, but just following the actions of people I trust… is so cool! Kang Si felt the joy of being a tool and successfully abandoned his own brain.
The real "Raging Citizen", Old Blue, could not abandon his brain. Something changed in Tingen again. "Laneverus possessed divinity and fled to Backlund." This accurate news was not divined by Klein. I changed my last name to Zhou! Uh, it's over. It seems that I have set a flag... I'll go back to Tingen later to ask and control the situation.
"Come on." After saying that, Old Blue walked out of the church holding his black cane and headed towards the tall subway station entrance in the distance. Under Cons's surprised eyes, he spent 8 pence to buy two second-class tickets, found the right carriage, and even if there were seats, he would just lean quietly against the wall of the carriage, relying on the strong lower limb strength to fight against the inertia of the train and maintain balance.
"Cons, have you ever taken the subway?" Old Blue said to the young man who was also standing next to him. It was around 10 o'clock in the morning, not rush hour, and there were passengers in the car, but not many.
“No, no…” Conse tried hard to maintain his balance and said, “Although it is indeed faster than a carriage, whether it is the noise or the smell… it is not suitable for nobles to ride.
"Well, you know, nobles often have to travel in a respectable manner, otherwise they will be considered to have financial problems, which will cause some troubles... For example, banks will stop lending or reduce loan amounts, and other nobles will isolate them. These troubles will cause the noble to lose funds and connections, and face real financial problems."
Old Blue nodded and said, "It's a clear understanding. Before, you called yourself Conse instead of using your last name. Tell me, which identity did you use to get along with me?"
"……I,"
"You are Conse Leersen, with a distinguished father who is a viscount, but you are also Conse, Lieutenant Conse of MI9. Don't separate these identities." "Be respectful when you should be respectful, and investigate when you should investigate. You are not truly schizophrenic, so why do you have to adopt two attitudes?"
Old Blue counted on his fingers and thought that it was almost enough. The 100 pounds the church paid him was enough to buy all his insights! Didn’t you see that Conse was already stunned by the joke? Next, let’s take the young master to go fishing. Well, fishing is fun!
Who am I? Cons, Cons Leersen... Why do I deliberately not mention the last name? Don't want to be treated specially because of my family? But in front of truly wise people, my two identities have no meaning to hide! They can't bring me any special! I am who I am, Cons Leersen...
At this moment, he felt that he was more in tune with the "Arbiter" potion he had drunk before, and the burden on himself became lighter...
- Know yourself clearly. No matter how you act, you are still yourself. This is a very important rule of acting. Of course, Old Bruce only told him very vaguely how to do it.
Cons suddenly realized that Old Blue was hinting at how to master the potion!
He is indeed the elite Punisher of the Church of Storms! He is indeed a senior Beyonder who has lived to the age of 73! He is indeed a mentor and helpful friend!
"Thank you for your advice, which has benefited me a lot..." Cons Leersen bowed respectfully to the old man. On the road to extraordinaryness, a casual word from a senior is a valuable experience!
……
“Rest… Can’t we just take a break for a day? Today is Saturday! According to the novel written by Emperor Roselle, Saturday and Sunday are a day off!” Fors followed her friend and reluctantly stepped into the street filled with the smell of fish and aquatic products. Now was not the time to buy groceries, so there were not many people on the street.
"There is no such thing as a two-day weekend. Even many middle-class people only have one day off on Sunday... Um, Fors, which church should we go to for worship and mass on Sundays?" Hugh Dilcha paused and asked in confusion.
"Of course it's mechanical... Uh, your question is very good. Don't ask it next time." The devout mechanical believer, Storm Punisher Fors Wall, replied guiltily, "Why did we come here? I feel like my outfit is not appropriate..."
Xio made up her mind that since she didn't know which church to go to, she wouldn't go to any church at all! She took a step forward and said:
"This street is home to the largest number of fresh fish shops in Backlund. Almost every fish that enters Backlund from the port will appear here.
"Do you remember the information Miss Audrey gave us? The target likes to eat fish very much, especially fish from the ocean...
"Since we can't find out the missing persons and the pirates' purpose, let's start with the fish he eats every day!"
"Very good idea. I was right about you." Old Blue praised. He walked out of a store in front of the two ladies' surprised eyes and said to Conse who was thinking about something:
"These two are trainee punishers, devout believers of Storm, and are temporarily working under me. You have heard their analysis, which is also my thinking. That's why I brought you to the store to ask about their latest marine fish sales. Only after you show the police department badges that were distributed earlier will they cooperate.
"Who is this……"
"I'm Conse Leersen, an ordinary apprentice of Mr. Blue who is still in the learning stage. I am impressed by the analysis of the two ladies. It is an honor to work with you." Cons said after a solemn salute.
Xiou and Fors looked at each other in bewilderment. Ordinary? This guy was not ordinary at all! Xiou, in particular, felt the majesty of an arbitrator, even though the man was trying his best to suppress her...
In Backlund, the arbitrator must be related to the nobility or the royal family!
Fors's first reaction was: Where did Old Blue get these helpers in such a "semi-forced" way?
You call yourself an apprentice! You are an "apprentice", then what am I? It seems that I need to let him see the majesty of the senior!
