The secret of the sea snake monster?
"It's not a book about powerful magic, but a popular science book about water monsters?" He was just about to sigh when he was rewarded with an insignificant book. Suddenly, he found that the name of the magic book had the words "sea snake monster", and his heart skipped a beat.
The sea snake monster immediately reminded him of the six-headed giant sea snake monster that chased after the siren A Qi.
Then he remembered the invisible dragon chain quest, which was also involved in the form of a magic book.
At this moment, he had a strong premonition that the crisis had been around him. "Perhaps, this time, it is the chain quest of Guru Mitta. The Guru Mitta, which is likely to be a mid-level sea monster, has never left this area, hiding in the dark and spying on us! "
Very likely.
Otherwise, there is no need to reward him with a sea snake science book.
However, in the face of the threat of Guru Mitta, he was only nervous for a moment and then relaxed. The invasion of the invisible dragon has been dealt with, so what if there is another mid-level sea monster?
With the help of the smoke mission, it will not be too difficult to deal with this sea snake.
The power of fate is not ordinary.
Moreover, sea monsters can only live in the deep sea. If it dares to come to the shallow sea area, it is courting death. Today's Flower Town, today's Liszt, is no longer weak.
"Be careful for a while, hurry to complete more smoke missions, get more information about Guru Mitta, and the chain quest rewards … Finally, solve the hidden dangers!"
Thoughts flashed.
A new smoke mission was issued.
"Mission: Look through the magic books brought by Elkson. Do you feel that every book is contaminated with the screams of the magic apprentices? It is the helplessness and despair after the soul is broken. Please wash away the grievances in the magic books. Reward: a research notebook. "
The grievances of the magic apprentices?
Liszt frowned and thought, "What does this mean? Could it be that Elkson killed a lot of magic apprentices in order to get these magic books? Elkson doesn't look like a homicidal maniac, and killing magic apprentices can get magic books? "
His intuition told him that Elkson would not kill a magic apprentice.
But reason tells him that it is necessary to carefully examine Elkson and not to trust anyone. "If Elkson is really a homicidal maniac, then I have to kill Elkson if I want to wash away the grievances in the books … Let's go back to Flower Town first, and then plan the next step!"
On the Coral Island, it was strictly forbidden to kill people at will. This was a rule issued by the count.
Even the nobles were not allowed to kill people at will outside their territory. Even if it was within their territory, killing people at will would be punished by the count. Although the lord had absolute jurisdiction over the territory, if one's behavior exceeded the morals of the nobles, the superior lord would naturally teach one a lesson.
Of course, aristocrats usually cherished their serfs very much and wouldn't kill them at will. The superior lords also wouldn't interfere with what their followers did in their territory.
There was no need to quarrel with his followers over the lives of a few civilians.
However, Magicians were not nobles. If they dared to kill people, the nobles would definitely punish them. Liszt appreciated Elkson very much. He was polite, not rigid, and a good partner to work with. But as a noble, if he finds out that Elkson killed people at will, he will never be soft.
He rested for the night.
The next day, he took a boat back to Flower Town. During the voyage, Liszt was no longer bored as he used to be. Gort, who returned with the ship, was always bragging. He kept looking around with his binoculars to make sure that Grummitta didn't sneak up on him.
On the sea, mid-level sea monsters were not easy to deal with.
He was ready to not resist in case he encountered Grummitta. He stopped the ship and took back the Calm Pearl. He let Grummitta wreak havoc and just hid in the wooden boat to survive. And he was covered with smoke grass juice, waiting for Grummitta to finish wreaking havoc before rowing home.
This was not cowardice.
This was helplessness.
He had to return to Flower Town, but without preparation, he would encounter Grummitta in the vast sea. Resistance would only lead to a quick death.
However.
Without the siren A Qi on board, Grummitta may not be interested in the Flowers. During this time, he had sailed back and forth dozens of times and had not bumped into Grummitta. It could be seen that the sea monster had little interest in ships.
In the tension.
He returned to Flower Town smoothly.
Liszt went straight to the castle and rummaged through the magic books brought by Elkson. Some of the magic books he determined had no "harmful" content were given to the siren A Qi to read, and some were left in the bookshelf in the study.
"During this time, I only received two boxes of books from Elkson, and the reward should be in there." Quickly rummaged, and soon, a book called "The Secrets of Sea Snake Water Monsters" was turned out from the inconspicuous corner of the bookshelf.
He hadn't seen this book before, probably the butler Carter helped him sort it out and put it on the bookshelf.
Before he was ready to read it, he called the guard Paris.
"Lord Baron, what can I do for you?"
"It's a small task. I hope you can help me complete it. I like magic books, you know."
"Of course, everyone in the town should know that Lord Baron likes to read."
"These books were purchased for me by Elkson Truth, but I now suspect that there are some problems with the origin of these books. I want you to help me secretly investigate to make sure that they were purchased in a legal way." Liszt said, he didn't want to interrogate Elkson directly.
First, he didn't want to alert the enemy, and second, if it was a misunderstanding, it wouldn't look good.
"It's a very easy task. I will complete it as soon as possible, Lord Baron."
"Then let's talk about the reward for the task."
Paris suddenly smiled. "It's just a small task, it's free. After all, I just take the money and don't work, which has caused a lot of gossip among the officials in the town."
"Gossip?" Liszt raised his eyebrows. It seemed that someone was not very satisfied with his salary arrangement. "I will put an end to this kind of gossip."
"No, Lord Baron, I don't mind it."
After Paris finished speaking, she bid farewell and left in a carefree manner to carry out the free mission.
Liszt did not forget what she had said and directly called the butler Carter, "Mr. Carter, do you know that someone in the town complained that Paris's salary was too high?"
"Sorry, Master, I don't seem to have noticed this."
"You tell the servants not to forget to ask more about what the town officials said when they go out. If there is any discordant content, tell me quickly. "
"Yes, Master."
After instructing the butler Carter, Liszt planned to investigate slowly.
When he was alone in the study, he picked up the milk tea on the table, and his face quickly became gloomy.
