The scenery of this small manor was very good. It was located in the high-end residential area of the eastern block of White Arrow Harbor. In such an area where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, one could imagine the glory of Winlington in the past.
For hundreds of years, this place had been cleaned dozens of times by the Special Garrison Force and the Secret Mobile Force. However, although such a top demolition team would plunder everything they got, they had the ability to not destroy a single blade of grass or tree here.
The scenery of the back garden was quite beautiful. The lawn was green, and flowers were in full bloom. There was also a fountain in the middle that spewed out columns of water to dispel the heat of summer in White Arrow Harbor.
Isaac sat under a parasol next to the fountain. His stocky butt moved from time to time, and he could not sit still anymore.
This was also difficult for Isaac. He was not the type to sit still. It was really torture for him to sit here and maintain his aristocratic demeanor for more than an hour.
"Butler. Do you think Uncle Donald is satisfied with our performance this time? "Isaac asked in a low voice.
"Young Master Isaac, whether Mr. Donald is satisfied or not is secondary. The main thing is whether that gentleman is satisfied or not." The butler bowed slightly and also said in a low voice.
Isaac nodded. He did not fully understand, but he also understood the principle that he had to do his best.
At this time, Hayashi River and the other two came over. Isaac's eyes lit up. He immediately stood up and went to greet them.
"Did the three of you find anything?" Isaac asked.
The trio shook their heads. Their disappointment was written all over their faces.
Isaac was also very disappointed. If there was a discovery, he could report the good news to Uncle Donald.
However, there was nothing. What should he do …
Isaac was very distressed and said, "Why don't the three of you take a fancy to something? You can also take it as a gift."
Mu Shuangye and Meron's faces darkened. If they took it back after eating it, they would be whipped by Soviets.
At this time, Hayashi River looked behind Isaac and said in surprise, "Mr. Isaac, the style of this fountain should be the work of dwarven craftsmen."
"You mean this fountain …"
Isaac looked back and revealed a proud expression. "Of course it's the skills of the dwarven craftsmen. The history of this fountain is even older than this manor. After the first mayor took office, it was moved here from the port square."
Isaac, who had dwarven blood, was very proud of the dwarven craftsmanship.
Walking to the fountain, the master of the Rhine family patted on the edge of the stone table and said, "Only the dwarfs could build something so solid and undamaged for hundreds of years."
Mu Shuangye and Meron nodded in agreement. The dwarfs' talent in construction and forging was indeed far ahead of the other races. The stone platform of this fountain pool hadn't been damaged much even after hundreds of years. There were only some marks from the passage of time. This kind of craftsmanship was too outstanding.
Just as he was speaking, Isaac suddenly felt something lightly pricking his left and right ankles at the same time, as though he had been bitten by a flying insect. A numbing soreness spread from there to his two legs in an instant.
The next moment, the mixed-blood dwarf's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide. He was just about to shout, "My legs are numb, hold me …"
However, before the words left his mouth, his sturdy body lost balance, and his head hit the edge of the stone platform. With a bang, Isaac was dizzy from the impact, and he swallowed the words he wanted to shout back into his stomach.
Crack!
A slight cracking sound was heard. The fountain, which hadn't been damaged for hundreds of years, had a slight crack after the mixed-blood dwarf's heavy head-hammer.
In Hayashi River's vision, he saw a trace of blood-colored aura seeping out from the fine crack.
"So it's here … Winlington's cheats are still a little worse than mine after all …"
Hayashi River secretly cheered, but his footsteps were not idle. He rushed up at a fast speed and grabbed Isaac, trying to pull him up.
Unexpectedly, the fountain was surrounded by water, and Hayashi River seemed to have accidentally slipped. Isaac had just been pulled up when he fell down again, his strong head hitting the edge of the stone platform again.
At the same time, Hayashi River also fell down, his shoulder hitting the stone platform heavily to maintain his balance.
Crack, crack …
There was a cracking sound, and after Isaac and Hayashi River stood up, a spider web-like crack appeared on one side of the fountain platform. With a thud, pieces of gravel fell.
The fountain on the fountain platform stopped, and under the scorching sun, the light here underwent a strange change. It was as if a curtain had been lifted, and what appeared in front of Hayashi River and the others was a completely different scene.
"What's going on …"
"How did the fountain become like this?"
Isaac, Mu Shuangye, and the others also stepped forward, staring at the scene in front of them with incredulous expressions.
"So this is [Winrington's Magic] …"
Hayashi River looked at the stone platform in front of him, which had changed completely, and murmured, "It really lives up to its name!"
In front of them, the structure of the fountain hadn't changed, but the stone platform's texture had changed. It was translucent, and inside it were several seals and emblems, pressed down by an oval-shaped wooden ball.
This side of the stone platform now looked like a translucent cabinet. The water from the fountain flowed down, and the stone platform reflected a dazzling halo under the sunlight.
If not for the crack on one side of the transparent stone platform, Hayashi River and the others would have suspected that this was not the same fountain at all.
Crack … The crack cracked a little more …
Thud …
The oval-shaped wooden ball rolled down, gurgle gurgle … It rolled to the side of Hayashi River's feet …
…
Night.
In this small ancient manor, a large hover car drove in, waiting for the fountain to be dismantled and transported back to the garrison.
In the backyard, other than Hayashi River and the others, Su Duanpo and Ningya had also arrived.
"Thank you, Patriarch Isaac. This time, the Rhine Family has been a great help."
Su Duanpo thanked Isaac and expressed his apologies for his injuries, promising that the garrison would pay for all the medical expenses.
At this moment, Isaac's head was wrapped up like a dumpling, but his face was full of excitement. He tried his best to maintain the reserved demeanor of a patriarch, expressing that this was nothing much. To be able to help find so many important tokens was something that a noble should do.
Yes, Isaac did not expect that his two head-butts would reap such great rewards.
Just a moment ago, Donald had sent a message. There were only four short words: "Well done!"
Isaac was about to go crazy with joy. Ever since he was young, this was the first time Uncle Donald had praised him like this.
After the fountain was dismantled, Su Duanpo and the others bid farewell to Isaac, and the hover cars slowly drove away.
In the beast-type hover car, Ningya was driving. Su Duanpo and Hayashi River sat in the back, sorting out the seals and emblems in the boxes.
"There are tokens of eleven families here, but four of them have been destroyed," Meron said.
"Why isn't there a token of the Mu Family? Where did that damned Winlington hide the seal?" Mu Shuangye's face was gloomy. She was unhappy.
Su Duanpo lowered his head and arranged the family seals and emblems neatly. He closed the box and looked at Hayashi River and the others.
"Shuangye, it is indeed a pity that there is no original family seal of the Mu Family. However, this is already a major breakthrough in the case. Well done! I have underestimated you before, and I apologize. "
Su Duanpo praised and squeezed the box hard. He pondered for a moment and said, "We are on the same team, so I won't hide it from you. The progress of this case is already a great contribution, and it is very important for my promotion.
"If I successfully get promoted soon, I promise I won't mistreat you. I won't mistreat you. Although I'm very familiar with Frost Leaf and Myron, I still have to draw a clear line between business and personal matters. And Hayashi River, the breakthrough in this case is all thanks to you. If you have any requests, you can tell me. "
"Soviets. I just want to ask, how do we deal with this thing? "
Hayashi River pointed at the bulging backpack, which contained an oval wooden ball. The special forces had just checked it and found that the oval wooden ball was very ordinary, made of a kind of ironwood.
As for the purpose of this ironwood, the special forces guessed that it was for insect repellent and antiseptic purposes. Moreover, when the Blood Spirits stored things, they liked to make some of the preservatives into large round balls that looked like handicrafts.
Su Duanpo looked at the young man and smiled. "You are the main contributor to this breakthrough, so this thing is a reward for you. Take good care of it. This is a centuries-old antique, so it should be worth some money. "
Hayashi River: "…"
Mu Shuangye and the others all laughed. This kind of ball made of ironwood was very heavy, and it was a little tiring to carry it all night.
In the evening, when Su Duanpo arrived at the scene, he was very happy to know that there was a major breakthrough in the case. Then he saw Hayashi River holding the oval wooden ball with both hands, looking helpless and not knowing where to put it. He immediately ordered the young man to carry it like that.
"Thank you, Soviets."
Patting the bulging backpack, Hayashi River smiled. "Actually, this thing is quite memorable."
"Let's go back to the garrison first. After I report it to the higher-ups, I will give you a reward tomorrow. "
Su Duanpo picked up a cigarette and smacked it. Hayashi River then picked up a lighter and lit it for her.
Hayashi River, this guy …
Mu Shuangye glared at him and slightly pursed her red lips.
"Kid … you are really …"
Su Duanpo shook his head with a faint smile. He glanced at the young man and took a puff of the cigarette. The fragrance of the jade tobacco filled the air and covered her beautiful face, making it impossible to see her expression at the moment.
Ningya turned back and looked at Su Duanpo. She smiled softly and turned back to focus on driving.
Hayashi River also smiled and lowered his head. In fact, when he was sweeping the nightclub last time, he had seen Su Duanpo's expression under the jade smoke.
There was ambition, ruthlessness, and sadness in his eyes, as if he would cry at any time …
