Richard, who was about to leave, suddenly froze. His eyes shone brightly.
"Alright!" Richard bowed to Angor without hesitation.
He was afraid that Angor would cancel the request if he was too late.
Now, he would even accept a request to find a cat or a dog, let alone a person! His life was really hard. The coal stove in his house had not been lit for a long time. If it were not for his friend's help, he would not have survived this cold winter.
"I grew up in Waterford. I know both the upper class nobles and the lower class people. If you just want to find someone, leave it to me! "Richard patted his chest with a serious look." May I know who you're looking for? Maybe I can recognize him now. "
"I'm not sure about his face, but his name is Fullington, and he's a sailor. He's not from Waterford. His hometown is Moonwater City. He should have come to Waterford recently, looking for his relatives who lost their homes because of the war. "
When Richard heard that he was not a local, there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes. The war had just ended, and there were still many refugees in Waterford. Judging from Angor's tone, the man was not a rich man. It was not easy to find someone with a simple background among the common people.
Angor took out a bag of coins. "Here's the deposit. When you find him, I'll pay you double the amount. "
Richard swallowed as he listened to the coins clinking in the bag. If his hearing was right, the coins should be silver coins. And judging from the size of the bag, there were at least ten silver coins inside!
He was in the worst period of his life. Even if he was given half of the money, he was confident that he could survive this harsh winter, let alone ten.
Besides, Angor promised to pay him double the amount if he found the person.
With that in mind, Richard nodded without hesitation. "I'll take care of it! How about you come to the detective agency with me now and sign the contract? Or give me an address, and I'll pay you a visit after I get the contract? "
Angor shook his head and tossed the bag to Richard. "No need. It's too time-consuming. Come to me when you find the person."
Richard caught the bag and looked at Angor's nonchalant expression. So, this is how nobles do things … Since Angor did not want to sign a contract, Richard did not say anything. Instead, he asked about how to deal with the matter.
"When you find the person, come to Padt Manor in Grue Town."
Angor told them something else about finding Fullington and left. The heavy snow soon covered their figures.
Richard tightened his grip on the bag and sighed in relief.
Richard stared at the figure disappearing into the distance. Only then did he remember the address he mentioned. "The noble manor in Grue Town?"
Richard was surprised. Not long ago, Princess Shannon paid a visit to Padt Manor. Rumor had it that she wanted to reward Viscount Padt, but her offer was rejected. It was only a rumor, but Richard knew that since then, Padt Manor became a taboo among the nobles of Waterford. People from Grue Town were also given great benefits, which caused many refugees who wanted to stay in Grue Town to regret their decision. It was said that Grue Town used to accept refugees with farmland, but now they did not accept refugees at all.
No wonder Richard had the guts to refuse the contract. If he offended someone from Padt Manor, he would not be able to stay in Waterford anymore.
Still, Richard had professional ethics and had no intention of going back on his word. "Fullington," he muttered softly, "has only recently arrived in Waterford. Logically speaking, he would first go to the city hall to look for his refugee relatives. But since the noble young master came from the city hall, he probably didn't get any results … Well, let's take a look at the refugee cave."
Richard casually picked up a handful of snow and extinguished the tobacco that had only a few sparks left. He turned around and walked into the heavy snow and fog.
…
On the other hand, Angor only asked Richard to look for Fullington as a last resort.
Angor quickly put the idea behind his mind. He trusted White Bear's judgment and believed that Fullington should be fine.
Still, it was better to look for Fullington just in case. There were too many people in Waterford to know what Fullington looked like, so Angor asked Richard to do it.
On their way back to Padt Manor, White Bear pondered. "Should we ask for help?"
He was not good at prophecy because of his limited talent and power. If he asked Dodoro or Maya to do it, they should be able to get something useful.
"You can ask Thewis about that. If he's willing to provide us with the materials to create a plane passageway, we can go back and ask him."
No one except Sunders knew that Angor was planning to bring the servants who were affected by the Crimson Crown to the dream wasteland. In their eyes, Thewis had to pay for what he did to save Eureka. Besides, they were the ones who caused the tragedy in Padt Manor.
White Bear knew that he was in the wrong. "I'll ask Mister Red Hair when we get back."
White Bear didn't say anything. Angor, on the other hand, quickly created a Spirit Bond between them. Perhaps they had a tacit understanding of each other.
"Professor, if we can't find Roland, we can ask Dodoro to do the prophecy, right?"
"It's hard to say. But it's more likely than White Bear," Sunders replied.
"If we can't find Roland, we can use this method." However, if he really wanted to take this path, even if he didn't lack money, he had to make Thewis show his attitude. At the very least, he had to make them feel indebted. Otherwise, he would really suffer a loss.
It was already noon when they arrived at Grue Town.
The first thing Angor noticed was the freshness of the town. It was snowing in Grue Town, but it was only a thin layer of snow that did not affect people's daily lives. Angor also felt less anxious as soon as he stepped into the manor. Even the primal mana in the area was much denser than outside.
It was all thanks to the "Goddess of Spring", Demeter.
He drove the Gondola to the cloud where the Demeter was hiding.
Thewis was sitting next to the Demeter, and on the table in front of him was a bottle containing the Crimson Crown's blood.
According to Thewis, Eureka did not leave the Exile Dimension last night. White Bear's return must have triggered Eureka's mental state.
"But I don't think that will last long. We need to find the one hiding in the dark as soon as possible." Thewis looked at Angor, hoping to get some good news.
White Bear briefly told Thewis about their trip. They did not find many useful clues, but at least they managed to locate Roland with Kim's help.
However, they still could not find Roland's location.
Thewis fell into a long silence as he tried to come up with a plan. But he still could not find anything useful. Even if they searched every inch of the area, it would not be easy to find someone who was trying to hide.
In the end, they did not come up with anything useful and left on bad terms.
White Bear and Thewis were the only ones left in the Demeter's space.
"Can we use this blood?" White Bear pointed at the bottle.
"It's not going to be easy. I spent the whole night studying it. Although the blood inside was originally the heart's blood, its original effect had already been used for the "Bloodline Retracing". This is only the tip of the iceberg. "
"I can't tell where it came from. Even the Blood Curse cannot lock onto Chen Xue. "
Currently, the only way to make use of this blood was to find a Prophet Wizard or a Wizard who had a deep understanding of the blood element.
Thewis knew that he could not rely on a prophet. If he did, Eureka's identity would be exposed as well, so there was nothing he could do.
Thewis immediately thought of Flora, Sunders' student, who was an expert in blood.
However, Flora did not come with them, and Thewis did not have a good reason to invite Flora to this place.
White Bear considered for a moment and told Thewis about the idea he shared with Angor.
"Ask for help from your senior?" Thewis asked. "Are you sure he can help you without revealing Eureka's location? Also, can he really predict Roland's location? "
"Dodoro is a very good Prophet. I'm not sure if he can see Roland's location, but I think it's very likely. But I don't think he'll help me. " White Bear frowned. "But he's a good friend of Angor's. If Angor asks for help, he won't refuse. Also, he won't tell anyone about Angor's whereabouts. "
Thewis was tempted by White Bear's words.
However, Dodoro was an outsider, and Thewis did not want to trust him. If he wanted Dodoro's help, he would need Angor's help. Thewis was not sure if Angor was willing to help. Even if Angor was willing, he would still owe Dodoro a favor.
And the cost of using a plane passageway was too high.
Most of his magic crystals were spent on spirit potions. It would not be easy for him to find more materials to use a plane passageway.
"Let's wait. If Roland wants to control the Crimson Crown, he shouldn't be far from here. Let's search around first. If we can't find him, we'll go this way. "
