Chapter 180 Mummy
Life is always full of surprises and surprises.

Romon's mood at the moment was like this. He didn't expect to meet Ferranka here, and the two still met in this way.

"What are you doing, just hand me the ladder."

Romon's words awakened the captain of the investigation bureau.

Soon a soft rope ladder was lowered along the side of the boat. Romon climbed onto the boat along the ladder, and immediately changed into a clean set of clothes. He drank a large glass of ale and ate two large steaks until he felt a little full. Stopped after that.

The two chatted and exchanged information.

Ferranka would go out to sea on a fishing boat at such a big night because he received a report from the port residents that an airship had crashed at sea.

Then the Bureau of Investigation rushed over in a hurry, and now they are driving a fishing boat, catching people in the sea.

The ship did rescue some survivors.

For example, the strong man who was able to crystallize his whole body before, he was lucky to survive.

There are very few people who can survive this kind of air disaster. Most of them didn't even leave the whole body. For example, the captain on the airship before found only half of his body.

Generally, the Investigation Bureau would not dispatch this kind of air accident, but if extraordinary power is involved, it is a little different.

Romon told Ferranka what happened on the boat, and the other party's face changed slightly, "If it involves the evil god, then you all have to go back to the investigation bureau for a test. This matter is more serious than I thought, you It's a blessing to be alive."

The vessel, disguised as a fishing boat, dangled in the waters.

The employees on the ship are all investigators of the Bureau of Investigation, with high operational efficiency and execution, and they are also dedicated to their duties in the middle of the night.

However, the number of survivors is really small, and the fishing boat is mainly recovering the wreckage of the airship at sea, and dealing with some extraordinary remnants, such as black moss residue and so on.

After the recovery was almost done, Ferranca ordered the return.

The other party's status in the investigation bureau has become higher, and it is estimated that Swana will be trained as a successor.

Wait for the ship to arrive at the port.

Romon followed Ferranka directly to the Bureau of Investigation and cooperated with him in the investigation.

He and the strong man whose whole body can be crystallized are the main objects of knowledge. The two are the experiencers and survivors of the incident, and naturally have the most information.

And this time, the Bureau of Investigation paid more attention to the matter than the pearl processing factory.

Not only was Swana present in person, but the head of the field department of the Investigation Bureau also rushed over.This minister has gray hair and a lean torso. He looks like a young old man with good spirits, but he is also a Tier [-] Awakener, and he seems to have a higher status than Swana.

After all, the research department in charge of Swana is not on the same level as the field department.

And guys like Ferranka don't even have a seat in the room.

The entire inquiry process was very simple. After Romon recounted what happened, he only made a few simple measurements. After ruling out the possibility of contamination, he was told that he could leave.

Romon chose to stay one night at the Bureau of Investigation.

I just experienced the things about the kingdom of life and the green mother, and other places are always unsteady.And it's so late, even if he wants to go to the staff of the White Tower to understand the situation of Windhelm City this time, it is not the time.

Everything will wait until the next morning.

Nothing happened overnight.

By the next day, the Investigation Bureau was still collecting the wreckage of the airship and controlling the sea area to prevent subsequent extraordinary pollution.

The search for survivors has also been ongoing, with little success.If it is not found on the first day, the survival rate will be lower as it goes on.

And the main murderer who caused the accident, that is, the ghost ship, the investigation bureau did not elaborate, and said it very vaguely.

Obviously don't want to tell Romon too much.

To sum up, that ghost ship is related to the green mother. As long as it is encountered again in the future, the best choice is to run directly.

Without the strength of the fifth-order, there is no qualification to fight against it.

Romon had long been surprised by this.

He kept this matter in his mind for the time being, and arrived at Baita's office in Jianhai early the next morning.

Although the headquarters of the White Tower is far away on the island, there is a sense of isolation from the world, but in every big city in the Gorse Empire, the White Tower has branch offices.

Inside Jianhai City is a low-key store.

Opened in the waterfront area, it is not very eye-catching from the outside, but the space inside is surprisingly large.

Under the warm reception of the members of the branch office, Romon easily obtained the main information of the Windhelm incident. In fact, the Bureau of Investigation is already dealing with this matter, but the manpower is limited, and the White Tower in Windhelm The branch also reported the incident to the headquarters, and because it involved the Blood Cup Sect, it dispatched personnel.

Several satellite-like cities around Jianhai have a large population.

However, the power of the church is not strong in Jianhai City, so many things need to be handled by the Bureau of Investigation, which also leads to the lack of skills for the people of the Bureau of Investigation.

At this time, the White Tower will provide appropriate support.

Romon got the information on Windhelm City, asked two senior sisters to meet, and then found a tavern with a decent environment, while eating milk and bread, while looking at the ins and outs.

"How is it? Are you still used to life in the White Tower?"

Looking at Romon's dusty face, Antti asked a little worriedly.

Luo Meng's appearance was entirely because he stayed up all night last night, studying and thinking about the kingdom of life, so that he looked a little sluggish in the morning.

"It's alright, I didn't sleep well last night. Life in the White Tower is good. The teaching assistant usually has nothing to do. The tutor above me is also a guy who likes to fish. This time, I mainly went to Windhelm City to solve some things. ."

Romon replied with a smile.

As for his encounter with the ghost ship and the fall of the airship, he did not make it clear with the two senior sisters.

Outside is good news and not bad news.

Saying these things has no effect except to make the other party worry.

The expression on An Di's face eased a lot when he heard this.

"Would you like to help? Now that it's Tier [-], I'm embarrassed to ask the seniors to speak?" Dorothy's purple eyes flashed, her tone teasing.

Luo Meng couldn't bear the soft words of the witch sister, and hurriedly said: "It's really a small matter. On the contrary, you have not encountered any problems in the academy, right?"

The two women shook their heads.

Dorothy has been stable recently, with no signs of aberrations, and is making steady progress towards Tier [-].

Andy is also following the steps, gathering the awakening ability of his own system.

The three of them chatted and talked, and the last topic was the teacher, Anna Beena.

Four months have passed since Romon came to Jianhai, but there is still no news from Annabella.

"The teacher's retreat is in Anjou Castle. She has an old friendship with Queen Cynthia, so don't worry about safety. Although there is no news now, it is definitely still hitting the level."

Dorothy looked serious.

Romon asked Swana and Yogg what are the requirements from the third to the fourth order.

The answers given by the two were to break through the system, break through the limit, and go further, which was very general and vague.It wasn't too difficult for them to advance to Tier [-] at first.

This seems to be related to the system route chosen by the Awakened.

There are some special system routes chosen by Anrabeina in the third-order, and she has always had a knot in her heart, so the difficulty of hitting the fourth-order has increased exponentially.

Talking here, the three of them were silent.

"Okay, I believe the teacher will succeed!" Dorothy smiled and changed the subject.

until noon.

Romon came to the underground tavern in the Furnace Parish, where he met Elise, who was very different from before.

The other party had cut his hair short, was wearing the capable clothing of the Knights of the Dawn Society, and had become a third-order awakener.

Romon provided some small help when she was ascending, but it was not worth mentioning, because the Knights of Dawn had their own training ground.

Alice's current position can be regarded as one of the councilors of the Knights of the Dawn, officially taking over Romond's position.

Originally this position, Romon was just a gimmick, but Elise got it differently.

Those old parties in Jasper would not turn to Romon before, but Elise could command them.

Thus.

Romon gave Elise the leader position, and she not only has a name, but also has corresponding rights.

The two sat in the underground tavern and had a drink with each other.

Elise has gained a firm foothold in the Knights of Dawn and is growing and growing. I believe that with the help of Romon behind her, she will be able to firmly grasp the Knights of Dawn in her hands.

This is also what Romon had thought before.

Amos is dead, and the Knights of Dawn, which has no absolute leader, will fall apart sooner or later.

A new leader must emerge as soon as possible to rewire the Knights of the Dawn into a rope.Amos believed too much in the adopted sons and daughters he adopted, but Romon knew that the taste of power always made people sink.

Even when they were studying, some people could become officials if they were the team leader or squad leader.

Not to mention the Dawn Knights Association, an organization that has substantial rights and involves many interests.Sooner or later, these people will fight for power and profit. At that time, he will have to waste his mind on making the knights stable. It is better to let Elise slowly manage her power in the knights, so that Romon will have a lot of peace of mind after that.

After meeting with Elise, it was already afternoon.

Romon went to Ligeia Club again and met with strange friends in it.But this time when he left the club, the big housekeeper Perona walked out quickly and handed him something.

It was a small doll housed in an exquisite wooden box.

The doll is very rough carved, but there is strong spiritual energy overflowing on it, and the name of "Romon Charlotte" is written on the body of the doll.

"This is a disaster doll, and it is useful to keep it on your body at all times." Perona said with a smile, "It was carved by Weiwei, and she asked me to hand it over to you."

Luo Meng's eyes narrowed, and then he realized that this thing was really a disaster doll.

He has seen in the book that the production process of the disaster doll is extremely complicated, and it uses a lot of special materials, which is an extremely expensive consumable psychic item.

With the different production methods, the specific effects of these disaster-proof dolls are also different.

"How is she doing?"

Romon didn't shirk, and took the disaster-blocking doll.

He really needs this thing now, it is meaningless to shirk, and his name is already written on the disaster doll, and it is useless for others to hold it.

Perona said: "It's still like that, do you want to consider officially joining our club?"

"Uh... that's fine, but if the club needs help, I will come over as soon as possible and thank her on my behalf."

Romon said to Perona.

Weiwei didn't show up, proving that the other party didn't seem to want to see him, so Luo Meng didn't have to thank him in person.

Write these things down in your heart, and when you have the opportunity to repay them later, it will be good to repay them.

Men don't need to be fickle when doing things.

Perona snorted boringly, nodded, turned and walked into the club.

After being busy for a long time, and seeing the acquaintances in Jianhai, Romon found a long-distance steam carriage and could go to Windhelm City.

When the coachman was found, there were already four passengers on the six-meter-long steam carriage.

There are a total of six seats on it, and it seems that the driver will not set off until everyone has gathered.

"Brother, the night train also runs?"

Looking at the already dim sky, Romon couldn't help asking.

The bearded driver replied, "We will go out of the city at night, go to a small town outside the city to live, and then continue on the road tomorrow morning, which will save a lot of time.

The road to Windhelm will take several days. If you don't hurry up, you should rush me.

Don't worry, I've traveled back and forth between Jianhai and Fengkui hundreds of times, and I haven't had a single problem. Just ask me, who doesn't say that I have the best reputation? "

Seeing the confident look on the driver's face, Romon didn't ask any further questions.

The other passengers obviously knew about it for a long time and knew that the other party was reliable, so they did not raise any objection to his arrangement.

It didn't take long before the last passenger got into the car.

The coachman shouted, and the carriage staggered forward.Romon leaned on the edge of the carriage and glanced at the other people in the car.

Four men and one woman, looking at the clothes and dressing, they are all ordinary people.

Rich people don't come here to rent a car, let alone carpool.

In this era, everyone is talking about cards.

If aristocrats travel without a carriage bearing their family crest, it may become a laughing stock in the whole circle the next day. Those aristocratic wives and young ladies who have nothing to do after a meal will like to get together and talk about these things.

Therefore, those who come to "carpool" will not have very good economic conditions.

The carriage soon stopped in a small town outside Jianhai City. According to the coachman's arrangement, everyone rested here for one night and continued on the road the next day.

This coachman does have some ways, and he has not encountered any trouble along the way.

He skillfully avoided the mountains and forests that had been haunted by tigers and wolves several times, which made Luo Meng also sincerely admire, and had to admire the old driver's driving skills.

Outside the city of the Plantagenet Empire and inside the city, that is two worlds.

The city is highly industrialized, and people live a very stable life, but after leaving the large gathering place of human beings, there are still tigers, leopards, wealthy and wolves in the mountains and forests.

70.00% of the population of the Plantagenet Empire is concentrated in cities, and this trend is still expanding.

It still causes some rural areas to become more deserted and become a paradise for wild animals.

Although the Empire will regularly send troops to clear the beasts, the effect is limited after all, and it is impossible for the Awakened to deal with these problems.

Originally, Romon thought that with the old driver's skills, they should be able to reach Windhelm City safely.

But who would have thought that the old horse would also stumble, and the old driver was also caught speeding, and this time he was caught by a group of "strong men".

The so-called strongmen are those criminals who gather together to form a gang or force, and do some robbery activities.

In layman's terms, they are bandits, robbers, and traffickers.

The guy who intercepted the steam carriage was a group of robbers with bright iron swords and even revolvers around their waists.

The coachman groaned.

Want to pass some favors to these strong men.

As a result, several people who intercepted the road did not even look at it, and asked all the passengers on the carriage to get off and be searched one by one before they could leave.

These guys are trying to get everyone clean.

Several passengers had to get out of the car.

At this time, the two sitting across from Romon were chatting in a low voice.

Although the sound was small, it was very clear in the ears of the third-order awakener, Romon.

"Would you like to shoot and kill these guys? Seeing that they are not good people, they must have names on their hands."

"Shh, be quiet, don't let other people hear it, forget what the teacher said? You can't show your awakening ability outside, and you can't shoot at ordinary people at will."

The two, a man and a woman, looked like they were seven or eight. They were obviously a team of brothers and sisters, and they were not very old.

Older men are obviously more mature, and they are much more stable no matter what they say or do.

But the woman he dissuaded said angrily: "Look at these guys, they don't want to let us go at all. They are all going to do something to us, why can't we do it?"

There was a hint of hesitation on the man's face.

It is obvious that the situation at this moment is indeed the time for them to take action.

Luo Meng originally wanted to drink these robbers away, but seeing the two of them eager to try, he stopped his thoughts, folded his arms and folded his chest, and watched the changes in the situation.

Several strongmen will search their bodies one by one, preparing to wipe out all the valuables on everyone's body.

But when it was the brother and sister's turn, the strong man who searched suddenly changed his expression, as if he had seen a ghost, he sat down on the ground, twitching in fright, and wet liquid came out of his pants for a while.

Seeing this scene, Luo Meng was slightly surprised.

He didn't feel the two brothers and sisters using psionic energy just now.

But to be able to scare the strong man who often licks blood like this, it is obvious that the two brothers and sisters used some kind of awakening ability to create an illusion.

For the Awakened, it's a little trick, but for ordinary people, it's a real trick.

For a time, this strange pair of brothers and sisters greatly increased Romon's interest.

The other strong men quickly discovered what was wrong here, and immediately leaned over, staring at the pair of siblings with bad eyes.

However, they just looked at each other, and like the strong man just now, they were so scared that they lost their minds and knelt on the ground when their legs were weak.

Seeing that the two brothers and sisters did not move further, and could barely walk, they supported their companions and fled to the woods next to them.

When the group of strong men completely disappeared, everyone came back to their senses.

The coachman was also a character who traveled south and north, and he immediately understood that someone must have taken action.

Wizards, witches, warlocks, these rumors and legends, there are not many in the folk.

He immediately walked up to the pair of siblings: "Thank you two wizards for helping us. If it wasn't for you, we would have been in danger just now. I'll refund your travel expenses to you later. I hope you two won't refuse."

The other three passengers immediately stepped forward to thank them.

This pair of siblings obviously enjoyed this feeling. Although they said the words of modesty and resignation, they couldn't stop the smug look on their faces.

Romon just smiled at this.

After all, this kind of mentality is only in line with their age.

After obtaining extraordinary powers that surpass ordinary people, it is inevitable that you will have the idea of ​​showing off, especially if you have done such a thing of mercy and saving people.

If these two people are as stable as Mount Tai, and they are not humiliated, then Luo Meng will really feel that something is wrong.

Soon the steam carriage set off again.

Although this matter was resolved peacefully, it still left a lot of shadows on everyone. Even looking at the pair of siblings, they couldn't help but look in awe.

It was getting late, and the steam carriage stopped in a small town again.

It is not far from Windhelm City, as long as you rest here for a night, you can go to Windhelm City early tomorrow morning.

night.

Romon slipped out of the hotel by himself, used his psionic energy to quickly drive in the dark, and soon came to the place where the strongmen robbed during the day.

He always felt that the brother and sister were a little strange during the day, so he came here to take a look.

Those two people should be using mental illusions, plus the ability to shock the mind.

But it's a bit strange that the psychic energy is not released at all.

Luo Meng observed that the strength of that pair of siblings, that is, the level of a first-order awakened person, could not be concealed from his spiritual vision.Not to mention that he now has spiritual perception, and his spiritual perception has more than doubled.

Came to the forest where the strongman escaped.

Before taking a few steps, he found the trace.

The corpses of several strongmen were lying on the ground, and the blood all over their bodies seemed to have been drained by vampires, turning into several strange mummified corpses.

This kind of death can easily make people think of some evil priests, or people who have encountered the awakening of evil ways, and their blood has been drained and used as a drug primer.

"Something's wrong, that pair of brothers and sisters, it's impossible to cause such an effect. Either these people encountered other awakened people later, or the ability that the pair of brothers and sisters used was sorcery..."

While thinking about various situations, Romon checked the traces of this place.

In the end, he was sure that no other people were doing it here. After these people fled into the woods, the blood evaporated out of thin air.It was also definitely because of those two siblings.

After getting the result, Romon quietly returned to the hotel.

Early the next morning, the coachman set off again and sent everyone to Windhelm.

Although this city is incomparable to Jianhai, it is still very prosperous.The city area is not small, there are several urban areas, and the permanent population is around 50.

After Luo Meng successfully entered the city, he took his ID card and went directly to the branch office of Baita here.

Because this is Yogg's task, after Romon took over, he was also acting in Yogg's name.Therefore, Romon's authority is extremely high, and he can unconditionally mobilize the power of the White Tower here.

Inside a single-family house.

Romon sat in a chair and listened to the report of the third-order awakener in front of him.

"My lord, this is all the information we have collected recently. Seven people have died because of it, and traces of the Blood Cup Order have been found." Barry said solemnly.

He is the person in charge of the Baita branch here.

It has been operating in a safe and stable manner for five years, and there has been no major incident.But the recent consecutive deaths also involved a member of the White Tower, which made him report to the White Tower headquarters.

Romon swept the information one by one and asked in confusion, "Are the dead all awakened?"

"Yes, there are our awakened ones, and some from the Bureau of Investigation. But most of the missing ones are underground awakened ones." Barry replied immediately.

Although they are both Tier [-], but Romon came here with the above order, Barry must also give him face, at least he has done enough on the surface.

"There are only seven people? Looking at this, there should be more than seven people. If it is the Blood Cup Religion, there must be more than seven people for such a long period of time."

Romon shook his head, doubting the credibility of this information: "Have you checked the number of accidental deaths of ordinary people? Events like the disappearance of homeless people are also counted."

Barry's expression froze, "How do ordinary people check? Windhelm City has tens of 10 people, and the workload is too great, so it's impossible to check. And those homeless people, who knows if they fell asleep or starved in that corner? Dead, even if the body is not found for ten days and a half months, it is a common thing."

in short.

It is because the workload of this task is too large, and they cannot complete it.

However, Romon estimates that it is not that it cannot be completed, but that he does not want to do such a complicated and boring project, and there is still no benefit.

Report to the White Tower, and then wait for the White Tower to send someone to solve it, how easy and convenient?
"Mr. Barry."

Luo Meng put the information aside and stared at him: "You have to figure out a question, I am not asking you, but to let you cooperate with my work.

If you answer like this, then my work can't continue, and it's not easy to go back to the White Tower.

In the case of accidental death, the police station and the investigation bureau must have records.

Well, let's go and investigate. This information is very important. In three days, I want all the information on the accidental death and disappearance cases in the past two months. "

Barry's face changed slightly, "It will take at least five days to check these."

"Okay, then for five days, I'll be here waiting for your good news."

Romon readily agreed.

Barry was full of anger and walked out of the compound, and several Awakened people immediately greeted him.

"Boss, is this new guy really good at fooling him?"

"Is it the same as the investigator last time?"

Several people are from the Haicheng Branch of the White Tower, and they are the confidants that Barry has cultivated over the years.

Hearing the question, Barry said coldly: "It's just a hairy boy who doesn't know how high the sky is.

I thought it was the fourth-order mentor of Baita who came, but it turned out to be a third-order like me.

Judging from his appearance, it should have been a while since he entered the third rank, and he was here giving orders as soon as he came. Do you really think I am afraid of him?

Just fool around.

This guy will stay here for dozens of days at most and then leave. I don't think he has any real skills, but he is just here to pretend, and I don't have time to play with him. "

After hearing this, several people also agreed.

"That's right. There are so many people in the Bureau of Investigation who can't handle it. How can it be possible to deal with a young boy sent by the headquarters?"

"I don't know what the high-level heads of the headquarters thought, but they didn't send a fourth-order mentor over."

"It's true that Tier [-] comes here. We will be tired by then, and we have to try our best to serve that uncle. Now this is not bad. Anyway, the Bureau of Investigation seems to be closing the case."

When a group of people heard that Romon wanted to investigate the accidental death and disappearance of ordinary people, it was extremely ridiculous.

With such a large workload, if they really had to do it, they would probably die of exhaustion.

Barry thought so too.

Although he wanted to solve this matter, Romon's strength and age were obviously not enough to make him go to great lengths.When this guy retreats in spite of the difficulties, the Baita headquarters will send more powerful people to solve this matter.

As for Romon's orders.

Just find some data and deal with it, he is not stupid enough to check this directly.

"By the way, boss, for the industries we operate, will this investigator have an impact? Should we close it for a while to avoid the limelight?"

At this time, someone next to him said.

Barry's eyes widened: "What to close, it's a chicken that lays golden eggs every day, you give me money when you close it? Besides, even if you want to close, those big customers who often go to spend will agree? Offend them, can you? Have hello fruit to eat?

Do not care.

Up and down here are my people.

We want him to know so he can know.Moreover, even if he knew, he might not be in the mood to care about these things. "

The man nodded quickly in response: "Yes, I think too much."

"What are you thinking about?"

At this moment, a sudden voice sounded.

Barry and several of his confidants trembled, and immediately turned to look.

It turned out that Romon was walking towards him and looked at a few people: "What are you talking about, so happy?"

The faces of several people were a little embarrassed, and Barry squeezed a smile: "Mr. Romon, why did you come out? Didn't you just say that you have to rest from the journey?"

"I came out for a meal, and I happened to meet you two chatting here. Maybe this is fate." Luo Meng replied with a smile.

"It's really fate, hahaha, then why don't I treat you to me?"

"No, I'll eat some pasta next to me. But let me remind you again, Mr. Barry, your work is a bit serious, hurry up, I'm a bit of a workaholic, don't let me down."

Romon patted him on the shoulder.

The corner of Barry's mouth twitched, you are a workaholic, go check it out, what did you ask me to do?
After seeing Romon leave, the smile on his face disappeared, and he immediately left with his men.

Inside the noodle restaurant, Romon shook his head slightly in his heart.

I thought that the members of the White Tower branch would cooperate wholeheartedly.

It seems that he still thinks people too kindly.

"The White Tower branch in Windhelm City is a lot tricky. Forget it, let's tell Yog about the situation first, and then we'll have to find another way to investigate."

Romon thought to himself.

He returned to the compound, picked up a pen to write a letter, and then drew a simple ritual spiritual formation on the paper next to him. After injecting spiritual energy into it, a half-distorted phantom appeared in Luo from the old world. Meng around.

This is an ooze monster with the height of an adult, resembling a black slime.

It took the letter from Romon and drilled into the old world.

This thing is Yog's pet.

A mutant ooze monster he cultivated, a second-order alien beast, but with extremely strong vitality and not slow speed, it is suitable for some work of delivering letters and messages.

So it was cultivated by Yog into a messenger.

Don't say it yet.

Slime Romon has used it several times, and it's really convenient.

This also gave him the idea of ​​creating a messenger. The ring in his hand that can summon the golden retriever is the best choice for the messenger.

But golden retrievers don't seem to be very smart.

Romon had been summoned several times, but he didn't see anything magical from it, but was often bullied by black cats.

After writing the letter.

Romon turned around, left the compound, and went to the Investigation Bureau in Windhelm to check the body of the deceased.

And when he saw the appearance of these dead people, his mind was full of thoughts.

Because the appearance of these deceased people, like the strongman corpses he found in the woods, were all drained of blood and turned into mummified corpses in a short period of time, and even the embalming work was saved.
