Lord of Arcane

Chapter 147 Mysterious Letter
Since Xia Duo has already completed the task target of at least 400 gold coins, his mentality is very different at the moment. If the murderer can be investigated, it would be best if he can complete some more targets.

And if there is still no result, it is not a loss. Mrs. Patty promised that even if there is no result, there will be a reward, but the murderer has not been found.

But Carey is different. The investigation of the cause of death has already been preempted by Xia Duo, or Mrs. Patty has given up, so she can only grasp Mrs. Patty's previous guarantee, as many gold coins as possible.

When checking the secret compartment, Carey reached out and grabbed the stack of parchment documents. As for the gold coins and the inconspicuous statuette, he didn't pay attention to them.

At least there is nothing more valuable than documents that record words.

Seeing Kaili being so active, Xia Duo wanted to laugh. He didn't know how much the parchment was worth, but he recognized the little wood carving.

He once owned one too, it was brought back after he killed Old Neil, and he sold it for 500 gold coins in the end, and these 500 gold coins are definitely not its real value.

Kaili went to get the paperwork, and Xia Duo went to get the small wooden carving.

……

Bringing the wood carving close to his eyes, facing the light outside the window, Xia Duo squinted his eyes to observe the edge of the wood carving, there was indeed a thin layer of silver light.

It is the same material as the small wood carving he got before!

Although the shape is different from the previous one, it can still be seen that it is a heroic and extraordinary woman. The carving skills seem to be not very exquisite, and the face is somewhat blurred, but the eyes are particularly vivid.

Xia Duo was particularly impressed with these eyes, and this time he recognized them at a glance, but what he couldn't figure out was that if he could carve such vivid eyes, why not carve the other parts better?
Is it the bad taste of the sculptor?Or is there anything else you would like?
Xia Duo knew that, except for Turner, the middleman who used the leather shop as a sales point, all the masked people he met at the Moon Festival before knew this kind of small wood carving.

Now, I saw this kind of small wooden carving in the dark cell of Felbers Villa. Is there any connection between them?
Thinking like this, Master Kaili had already finished reading the stack of documents, and seeing Xia Duo holding the small wooden carving in his mind, he thought that Xia Duo had found some clues, and his heart tightened, "Hey, Xia Duo, let me have a look at that wooden carving. "

Xia Duo motioned for him to bring the documents over. Master Kaili showed reluctance on his face, but he still handed them over. Xia Duo took the stack of documents and casually threw the small wooden carving over.

The small woodcarving itself has no clues. If Xia Duo didn’t know that there was another small woodcarving, or even passed through multiple hands, and was pursued by the mysterious masked man, he would probably pay attention to these secretly kept documents first, like Carey did.

In fact, when Carey saw Xia Duo throwing the small wooden sculpture over so casually, he regretted it, because he had actually found clues in the stack of documents, although it might not necessarily point to the cause of Felbers' death. , and the murderer, but you can exchange money if you have clues!

So, Xia Duo saw Kaili take the small wooden sculpture and run out of the study. At the moment, he didn't understand what Kaili meant, but when he saw a certain page in the document, he understood.

This stack of documents is not a title deed or contract, but a stack of ordinary letters, except for a few pieces of geographical information about the Green Pearl Forest pressed on the top.

There is also a cost estimate for development later on. It seems that after the orc lair is cleared, the Savile Territory is about to usher in a big development.

But that’s not the point, the point is the letters that follow, which seem to be some daily greetings and short stories from parents, but Nether is not the earth, and people on earth may write letters for some trivial things, but in Nether——

It's okay if it's only in the Savile Territory, but if it's sent to other territories, generally you can only entrust the escort of the caravan to help deliver it.

Regardless of whether it will be delivered, the price is very good, and ordinary people rarely need to send it to other territories.

Felbers sent these letters from other territories, just for some trivial matters?Also specially set up a secret compartment to save it?

Regarding this, Xia Duo's first reaction was that this guy might be a secret spy, and then he was killed somehow. He might have leaked some secrets, and then he was killed by the master.

While checking these letters, Xia Duo was brainstorming about the spy war drama, until he turned to this——

"My friend Greg: If I feel that my body is getting worse day by day, maybe I will soon go to the heaven of the Lord of Radiance. I have tried the **** you said for a long time, but it has no effect, right? *****, I didn't question it, it was just the ramblings of an old man yearning for youth..."

The handwriting seems to be written by Felbers, and there are traces of alterations on it. I don't know if it is a waste manuscript, or the person died before it was sent out in time.

Continue reading below. In the letter, Felbers asked his old friend to help take care of his son, but he wanted to leave the property to Mrs. Patty.

"Tut tut-"

Xia Duo couldn't help but sigh with emotion, what kind of ecstasy soup did this Mrs. Patty pour into Pelbers, so that neither of the wills planned to leave property to his son.

But after the death of Felbers, Mrs. Patty was so eager to take revenge, he seemed to understand something again, so he could only sigh and continue reading.

The following content is some memories, especially the memories of Mrs. Patty, but the last content is a little scary——

"The **** that my old friend gave me has expired, I can no longer resist their control over me, they want to fuck, but I will not give in.

"I can*******
"My lord! I have turned my back on your way after all!"

A large area of ​​handwriting was smeared out. At this moment, Xia Duo felt as if there were a dozen cats scratching in his heart. When he saw the key points, they disappeared. This is really worrying.

This letter is very important, no wonder Carey rushed out just now.

Just as he was thinking, there was the sound of footsteps coming from the direction of the stairs. It was Mrs. Patty who heard the sound.

It was really difficult for her to go upstairs for a while, go downstairs for a while, and go upstairs again for a while. Xia Duo might want to read the letter, so she walked a few steps towards the door.

"Master Xiaduo, I—" Mrs. Patty's breath was a little short, and her eyes were fixed on the stack of letters in Xiaduo's hand.

"I've seen it all, take it!"

Mrs. Patty snatched the letters and turned them one by one until the one written by Felbers. Mrs. Patty's tears came down again, "It's him! It's him! Thank you, Lord Chateau! "

"..."

This time, Xia Duo clearly saw Carey roll his eyes, and Mrs. Patty quickly reacted, and turned around to thank Carey, and Carey's complexion improved a bit.

"Mrs. Patty, I don't know what you plan to do next. I still have a key experiment to do in the Mage Tower, so I can't delay it."

Xia Duo was about to withdraw. Although he was very curious about who the "they" in Felbers' letter were, this matter obviously exceeded Xia Duo's expectations.

He thought it was just an ordinary businessman who was killed, but later found out that the death was in a strange manner, suspected to have traces of spells, and for the sake of the gold coins, Xia Duo stayed.

But now, behind this matter seems to be organized and premeditated, and Xia Duo doesn't want to get involved.
