Chapter 589, Waiting for reinforcements
The next day, early morning.
Tieyan Village.
The team of professionals who stayed overnight did not sleep well all night.
The things about cults are like a huge stone hanging in the heart, making people feel depressed and heavy.
?If the investigation continues, the cult will continue to cause chaos and more people will die.
If we continue to investigate, we may encounter danger, and given the current situation of the kingdom, it may be difficult to mobilize troops for ourselves.
The preparations are not much different.
? Yuri, who had some dark circles under her eyes, lightly knocked on the door of a house.
“Auntie, everything is ready and you can go.”
"Let the tame beast out first, and I will go out right away." Slater sat at the table and turned around and said.
“Okay!” Yuli turned and left.
Slater turned around and finished writing the last letter on his desk.
Picked up the letter and looked at it.
“I hope it won’t be used.”
Take a deep breath, pack the letter and put it aside.
He began to pack up the pillows and bedding beside him and put them all into the space ring.
Just when I was putting away the pillow, a blank envelope slipped aside.
Slater''s eyes narrowed.
Then, surprise, suspicion and joy flashed in his eyes.
Pick up the letter and unfold it quickly.
The content inside also appears in front of you.
：
The cause of Beni''s death has been investigated clearly. The sect that killed her is called the Tianming Sect, which was officially designated as a cult by the association two months ago.
The leader is called ‘Fatih’, his level is above level 18, and his profession cannot be determined yet.
? Judging from the current information, the sect may have two level 18 professionals and multiple level 15 function professionals.
I have arrived in Luntam City and will go to Blackstone Town after arrangements are made here.
Before I pass, don''t act rashly.
?Just like the Tianming Cult actively threatens you, ensure your own safety first. "
?There are not many words in the letter, and there is no other content except Tianming Cult.
But after reading it, Slater''s forehead was already covered with sweat.
More than one level 18 professional, and multiple level 15 professionals.
Even just looking at the text description.
It all sent shivers down her spine and her heart beat violently.
Why does this lineup appear here?
Let alone killing nearby villages, even if they sweep through several surrounding towns, no one can stop them.
They really had to follow them all the way, fearing that no one would be able to come back.
“Aunt, are you not ready yet? Everyone is waiting at the door!” Yuli’s urging voice came in again.
Slater took a deep breath and calmed down.
The writing on the letter has disappeared, leaving only the blank letter paper and envelope.
Put the letter into the space ring.
Slater opened the door with Leopard and walked out, and saw Yuri standing outside the door.
Yuli asked: "Aunt, what''s wrong with you!"
“It’s okay!” Slater pinched her cheek.
“What are you doing!” Yuli muttered with some dissatisfaction.
??We walked to the village gate together.
Slater glanced at the prepared carriage and several small teams.
He ordered in a solemn voice, "The continued tracking operation is cancelled. We will be stationed in Tieyan Village. The first team will arrange for a person to return to Blackstone Town. If reinforcements come, bring him here."
…
“Express report, express report, Wrentam report….”
"The newspaper published by the city hall allows you to sit at home and learn about world affairs. It also explains the internal turmoil in the kingdom. The 18th-level cult massacred villagers. The murderer of the blood python gang leader was actually around. The legendary city lord, Mr. Wu Heng, became a small person and the leader of the association island. The growth process,... is all written in the newspaper."
The sound of shouting to sell newspapers rang out in the main thoroughfares of the city.
?The newspaper seller held the newspaper high and shouted loudly to attract the attention of the people passing by.
No one knows what a newspaper is.
But these two sentences of listening to yelling seem quite attractive.
“This newspaper..., can you just take it?”
A tall orc, encouraged by the people around him, went up and asked.
?The newspaper seller stopped shouting and looked down at him, "65 copper coins."
“If I had told you I wanted money, I wouldn’t have pushed you over.”
“Give me one.” A well-dressed businessman came over to buy something.
Those who don’t want to buy should stay far away and watch the excitement. People who want to buy it to see what it is, buy the newspaper.
…
?The Windweed Tavern.
A few scattered guests took up about one-third of the place in the tavern.
??A bard dressed as a human, after whispering a few words to the boss, walked straight onto the wooden platform on one side.
After tapping the counter, he said loudly: "Everyone, this morning the city lord''s palace released a reading material called a newspaper, 65 copper coins a piece, which records information about surrounding cities, information about gangs in the city, and the story of Lord Wu Heng. I happened to have some spare money, so I bought a copy and told everyone.”
Everyone in the audience looked at him.
There are mostly orcs in the tavern, and not many are literate.
Everyone smiled when they heard that it was something new and did not require any money.
“Speak quickly, speak quickly!”
“Well, for a price, everyone can listen to what’s written in it.”
“Speak quickly, I won’t be able to understand you when I drink too much.”
??The bard smiled and began to speak.
"The first news is that the old king of the Kingdom of Yeko has died, and the royal family is fighting for power... Wu Heng, the owner of Treasure Island, defeated the prince of the Kingdom of Celtic, the human genius Luan Randolph, in a fair competition in the association. ''…."
…
“Treasure Island? Wu Heng? Why is it so familiar?”
“The captain of the association, the one who defeated the Warhammer Party, the real lord of Luntam City.”
“I wonder why it’s so familiar!”
“Now you are the owner of the island, and you have defeated the prince.”
“No wonder I didn’t want this city, people didn’t like it at all.”
??The tavern became noisy because of this news.
?There was a commotion, discussing things about Wu Heng, and some even talked about some rumors they had heard.
??The bard was not in a hurry to continue.
Waiting for everyone''s discussion, so that some outsiders can know who Wu Heng is.
And what we did in this city.
Different from Treasure Island.
??The bard at the Wrentam City Tavern was specially arranged by the city hall.
One place for each person, and the drinkers can read newspapers for free.
This is done because Luntam City is different from Treasure Island.
?Luntam City is located in a small shop. There are not many high-level professionals, and there are even fewer people who are literate and willing to buy reading materials.
?It is more difficult to get them to buy a newspaper, or to get a bard to read it.
Simply make your own arrangements and wait until it becomes a habit later.
??The tavern will hire a bard to take charge of the tavern.
…
Finish the information in the newspaper.
??The bard began to tell the following story, and all the drinkers shut up again. The whole tavern was surprisingly quiet.
??Only the bard''s voice echoed in the tavern.
“Wu Heng came over and took a look, and immediately said: Are you looking at that retired soldier?”
….”
“…I planned to expose Wu Heng’s conspiracy and make him look embarrassed,…but the staff member who delivered the letter happened to come out. I caught up with him and asked, what is your occupation?”
“I was once a soldier of the kingdom.”
“Wu Heng’s theory has been proven again. I am so surprised that I can’t help but ask how you deduced it.”
“It’s very simple, Wu Heng explained with a smile. The person delivering the message has calluses on his hands,..., he stands with his head held high,..., plus the mark on his hand, it can be determined that he is from the light infantry."
The drinkers nodded slightly, even the orcs who didn''t want to use their brains.
I also understood the basis of the analysis.
Very reasonable.
?The story continues without stopping because of the admiration of the drinkers.
Watson admired Wu Heng''s inference and handed him the letter he had just sent.
? Watson picked up the letter and read out the contents. A murder occurred on Lauriston Garden Street, and Wu Heng was invited to investigate.
At this point, the story ends at the same point as the first issue of Treasure Island.
?While everyone was immersed in it, the bard clapped his hands and said, "Okay, the story is over. The second half of the story will be published in the next issue of the newspaper."
?Everyone was stunned, and then looked at each other.
“No more? Can this thing be stopped in the middle?”
“Here I go, I hate it when someone talks half-sentence.”
“Pah~! Follow me to the city hall!”
“The wine glass costs 50 copper coins.”
"Grass…."
