Chapter 26 Special Events
"I want to go too." Daisy's voice rang out.
William immediately looked embarrassed when he heard this, and said softly: “Miss Daisy, this is very dangerous.”
Daisy glared at him angrily and repeated, "I want to go, too!"
William's expression became more and more troubled, and he said cautiously: "This time it is really dangerous. The enemy may have high-level relics in their hands. If you encounter any accidents, it will easily cause diplomatic disputes between Dorne and Dele."
Daisy stopped talking and just glared at him angrily.
William was a little at a loss when she stared at him. He was completely different from the ruthless man he was when he took action in the old city that day. He hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "I went to apply to the headquarters."
Until William left.
Daisy then stuck out her tongue like a kitten and said to Sean, who looked thoughtful, "I'm also a night watchman."
After saying that, she also took out her ID, an emblem of a double-headed eagle.
Daisy's identity must be very unusual.
William came back a few minutes later. He glanced at Daisy and nodded, "Headquarters agreed."
"But you can't act on your own."
After that, William took the two of them into a black carriage. In the carriage, he took out a file and handed it to Xiao En in front of him, saying, "The captain led people to raid the enemy's lair. At present, most of the extraordinary relics have been recovered by us."
"But there is a high-level relic that we still have no clue about. We only know its code name."
"The Delicacy of Candlekeep."
William took out another sealed black box, placed it in front of Xiao En and said, "This contains top-secret information about Candle Castle."
"After you read this, don't tell anyone."
"Not even us."
"This operation must rely on you to help us find a clue, otherwise it may be too late."
Sean's inspiration is far beyond that of ordinary people.
In other words, most investigators would not have the same high level of inspiration as Sean.
He slowly opened the black box in front of him.
In an instant!
Xiao En saw countless knowledge, living mysterious knowledge, which were engraved on the ancient files in the box. They looked like strange and changing marks, constantly combining into different characters. That was the knowledge contained in the files.
Extraordinary and wonderful things.
Xiao En reached out and touched the ancient file in front of him. It was made of some rough leather and it was impossible to tell what material it was made of. There were countless strange lines and runes on it. In the eyes of ordinary people, it was just a strange pattern, but in his eyes it was countless knowledge that was constantly changing.
this is a book.
It contains millions of words, just like a hard drive, where all living knowledge has been compressed into the file using some strange means.
Scribe magic.
The work of a high-sequence spellcaster.
Sean felt the raw magic within his body stirring as the mysterious knowledge attracted it and made it active.
——Reading magic.
Xiao En spread out the ancient file in front of him, and in an instant, countless mysterious knowledge emerged on the surface of the file. Those changing obscure patterns were like a moving catalog, constantly replacing the knowledge recorded in it.
Daisy on the side was full of curiosity, but she still sat there motionless, not even looking at the file in Sean's hand.
William lowered his head and remained silent, ignoring everything that was happening before his eyes.
Some mysterious knowledge is very dangerous to them. Unlike wizards who are known for their erudition, it is difficult for them to digest too much mysterious knowledge, let alone control it.
If they look around, they will only be infected with madness.
[Knowledge] is the true destiny of the wizard path, and their brains can accommodate more mysterious knowledge.
Xiao En found everything about "Candlekeep" in the catalog. Relying on the forced memory of reading magic, he memorized some obscure knowledge about Candlekeep.
After a long time.
When Xiao En slowly closed the ancient volume in front of him, they had already arrived at the south side of the market area.
"Any clues?" William asked anxiously. Most of the investigators in Dorne City were unable to handle this level of strange events. If there hadn't been an accident in today's operation, Benjamin wouldn't have asked him to bring the ancient secret scroll to ask Xiao En for help.
In the previous fight with the Ghost-faced Assassin, Benjamin already knew that Sean possessed inspiration far beyond that of ordinary people.
"Yeah." Xiao En's expression gradually became solemn.
Unspeakable vanity.
Candlekeep is a place that does not really exist. It is between reality and illusion, on the edge of the spiritual world.
It was born in the Dark Ages, created by an unknown soul from another world.
Since its birth, Candlekeep has been constantly devouring knowledge. It houses countless knowledge from two entire eras, as well as many books and artworks full of taboos. Among them, there are two that Sean is very familiar with - "The Great Detective - Mortylaine" and "Blade Dancer".
It's very, very dangerous there!
Because the indescribable illusion has already taken root in Candle Castle, especially all the creations born from the illusion, which have already regarded Candle Castle as their base camp.
Candlekeep is one of the anchor points that make up the spirit world.
It only provides knowledge and inspiration, in a twisted way.
Anything that flows out of Candlekeep is extremely dangerous. Even a piece of paper, a fragment of a statue, or an unburned candle can cause an ordinary person to die.
If there really were high-level relics from Candlekeep, Sean would probably understand why William and the others were so anxious.
Under normal circumstances, they would not ask Xiao En to help investigate clues.
The carriage stopped.
When Sean got off the carriage, several night watchmen were already waiting for them outside.
The entire market area has been blocked off by police officers. The news released was that a vicious criminal had appeared in the old town and two people had already died. The city of Dorne had mobilized a large number of police forces to block off the surrounding areas, while night watchmen and investigators were secretly investigating the scene.
However, unlike other extraordinary relics, those strange relics from the "unspeakable illusion" are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye of ordinary people.
It could be a painting, a humble statue, a strange piece of stone.
To find them, you must first pass an inspiration appraisal.
Most of the extraordinary relics that could be distinguished by the naked eye had been dealt with by the Night Watchmen.
"We found this." A tall, thin man in a black jacket came over.
He glanced at Sean, nodded slightly, and opened a sealed box to William. Inside was a slightly trembling black eye stalk with lumpy nerve bundles. It was unknown what strange creature it came from, but it still retained the vitality of flesh and blood.
An extraordinary relic, but it should only be a low-sequence relic.
"The distortion of flesh and blood." Xiao En's eyes narrowed.
Among all the extraordinary relics, deformed flesh and blood are the easiest to identify, because many of them come from certain organs of strange and evil creatures.
After the extraordinary people of the warrior path have integrated and digested it, their own physical fitness will directly increase dramatically.
However, the extraordinary relics from the weird country are seriously polluted, which can easily cause the extraordinary people to lose control directly, or even mutate into some unknown non-human creatures.
"There is no one out of control, right?" William said in a deep voice.
The other party shook his head and said, "Not yet. These extraordinary relics have just been revealed."
William couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this.
He looked at his companions and asked in confusion: "Where is the captain?"
The tall and thin man at the side whispered, "The captain went to the headquarters to apply for the use of the holy relic. He should be back soon."
While talking.
Benjamin's slender figure appeared at the corner of the street, holding a black umbrella in his hand. He looked a little tired, and his injuries seemed to have healed completely. He took out a peculiar silver pocket watch from his shirt pocket. The pointer on it was motionless at 12 o'clock, but he looked at it very seriously for a while before putting it in his arms.
Benjamin walked all the way to Xiao En, leaned forward slightly and said, "I'll leave it to you this time."
Upon hearing this, Xiao En silently took off his confusion.
