Summoner, he is never alone

In addition to the props to locate the NPC, Ye Xu also bought some tracking props, which is convenient for tracking and observation.

In fact, it would be more troublesome to take Mo Bei with him. After all, Ye Xu can't take people to fly, but the mission belongs to Mo Bei, so he can't just do nothing by himself.So in the end, Mo Bei was in charge of finding someone to investigate those NPCs, and Ye Xu was in charge of tracking them down.

In fact, Ye Xu has never done such a thing, so he is not sure if he will be discovered.Fortunately, he has an invisibility cloak, which can also be used when flying.

So he simply remained invisible the whole time, relying on the cloak that was made by a forging master, he would never be discovered by these low-level NPCs, and chased after him generously.Because it is using the flying method, there is no possibility of losing it. Even if the NPC enters the building, Ye Xu can keep up in time.

No matter how fast the target closes the door, he can find an opportunity to slip in.If it doesn't work, it will become the size of a little dragon cub, so that it can be squeezed in from the small slit.

Yes, Ye Xu can transform into a dragon cub.He didn't tell anyone about this, because he was worried that he would be forced by those crazy guys to become a dragon cub and be sucked by them.

However, this ability to transform is very useful in many cases. Whether it is doing tasks or doing other things, no one will guard against a small flying animal the size of a palm.Moreover, his body is still ice blue, which is inconspicuous at all, and it is easy to hide.

"Lingyuan" is just a game, and it is a fighting game, not a case-solving game.So the task Mo Bei took was not difficult to complete, and Ye Xu's tracking method had a strong effect. He found the qualified NPC among the nine people without following a few people.

In contrast, the progress of the investigation in Mobei was much slower.So it seems that this game is more profitable to play directly, and the roundabout investigation has fallen behind.

Ye Xu followed the NPC a few places before he saw him start stealing things with his special ability.I was worried that I would not get anything for a long time, and the other party would start making troubles as soon as I left. I just missed it, but I didn't expect my luck to be good.

This person seems to be a person with a wide range of friends, so his theft targets are quite wide, and there is little overlap with each other, so it is difficult for the victims to get together to share their experiences and find the guy who did it.There are no modern technological means in the game, and there are no special police uncles to help investigate these. They generally can only issue tasks to ask adventurers to help with investigations, and adventurers rarely communicate with each other before doing tasks.

In fact, because adventurers are worried that their entrustment will be snatched away by other colleagues, they will basically choose to cherish their own broom.Only after completing the task and getting the reward, will you chat with others while drinking in the tavern, and you usually keep silent until the task is completed.

This leads to victims not knowing who else has had a similar experience as themselves, and can only fight alone.And the hands-on thieves did not choose to steal too precious items. Many people just thought they were careless after losing them, and they were not worth much anyway, so they simply didn't bother to look for them.

After Ye Xu locked the target, he followed him for three hours and saw him steal several items.No wonder this guy doesn't steal expensive things, rather he takes the route of small profits but quick turnover.

To be honest, this person doesn't seem to be short of money, and looks glamorous, like a wealthy nobleman.Ms. Tiffany's friends are indeed mostly nobles, and the rest are powerful adventurers who are highly sought after by the nobles. These people themselves will not be short of money.

However, people have misfortunes and blessings every day, and it is inevitable that some people need money urgently when encountering some accidents.This thief was in a similar situation. After Ye Xu followed up with his house, he found that the hospitality area of ​​his house was still in good condition and was well-decorated, but the private living area was very desolate. Everything that could be pawned was sold, except for the furniture. Empty, with nothing but the necessity of life.

Obviously, Mr. Thief has been very short of money recently.

It's hard to figure out the whole story just from following. If you follow for a while, you might be able to see what he did with the money, but Ye Xu doesn't have that much time.He went back to Rosal City to find Mo Bei, and asked him if he had found the corresponding situation.

"The NPC you mentioned is quite famous in Xijue City." Mo Bei said, "I went to the forum of Xijue City to search around, and found that he has a good reputation among NPCs and has quite a lot of friends. And he He is not very picky in making friends, whether he is a commoner or an aristocrat, he has friends, but these friends generally have their own advantages."

For example, civilians must have a skill. If they are just ordinary poor peasants, then I am sorry.Because of this, the residents of Xijue City think that he is a very tolerant and talented noble gentleman, and he will not discriminate against any capable people.

"The former words may have been just to create a good image for himself, but now these people have become his targets." Ye Xu nodded after listening.

These people basically have one characteristic, that is, they are not poor.It may not necessarily be that rich, but at least there is no shortage of money.And they can find things that can be stolen and resold. For example, craftsmen can sell the things they make, as long as they find something that they do well, but they don't plan to sell it in their own collection.

Anyway, civilians have no connections, and it is difficult to find lost things.Unlike the nobles, who may search for something lost with great fanfare, it is difficult to end the trouble, and the common people do not have the confidence to make trouble.

In addition, Ye Xu actually discovered one more thing.It is this person who often accepts commissions from the black market before going to steal things.

So things are released very quickly, and they won't stay in their hands, which reduces the risk of being discovered.Moreover, the black market transaction is very secretive, and the other party does not know who the seller is, let alone search for it.

He didn't steal all his friends' things, he also stole some from others.It is estimated that I took the order on the black market. Because of the high price, I was reluctant to give up the order, so I took the risk to find a way to get it.

Before Ye Xu left, he was wandering around a manor quietly, as if he was exploring the terrain and thinking about how to sneak in.He has no friendship with the owner of the manor, and he must go in private if he wants to go in.

"This person stayed at Tiffany's house." Mo Bei said after checking the information recorded by them, "He shouldn't have any ability like avatar?"

Ye Xu nodded: "At present, it seems that there is not. He must do it when there are few people. I guess he will go in quietly in the dead of night and continue to investigate the situation in the manor after he has stepped on the spot today."

This person is quite cautious, and he won't take action easily until he investigates clearly.

There was no night watchman in the Tiffany family's manor, so he could easily check every location with light hands and feet.It just so happens that Tiffany's items are not in her own room, but around the warehouse.Because of his overconfidence in his magic circle, Tiffany never thought of sending someone to guard it, which gave him an opportunity.

Ye Xu analyzed: "I believe that when he was visiting as a guest that day, he didn't think that he could successfully steal the things in one go. Maybe he just went to check on the spot, and he planned to see the situation first, and then find a chance to do it later."

In the end, not to mention the first success, Tiffany was so stupid that he didn't notice it.It wasn't until I entered there a month later that I realized that the staff was missing.

"It's probably because the formation is too complicated. It's troublesome to go in and have a look every now and then, so she only goes in to check once a month." Mo Bei didn't know whether to sympathize with her or be speechless.

The thief was really lucky that he went in to steal just a few days after Tiffany's last inspection.So Tiffany, who checks once a month, took nearly a month to go in again. If he came a few days earlier, he might have just stolen something, and he might be discovered the next day.

"Have you found out his relationship with that female wizard?" Ye Xu asked.

Mo Bei shook his head: "There is no such person among his friends, and no one has been found to be related to the witch so far, except for Tiffany."

Tiffany is currently the only existence directly related to the witch, so there is a high probability that when the thief went to the black market to receive orders, he met the witch and issued a list asking for a staff by name.The two conditions for the thief to choose to accept the order are that it is best to specify that the item is owned by his friend's house, and the other is that the price is high.

The price cannot be tested, but there is basically no mistake in naming names.The thief found out that someone wanted his friend Tiffany's things, so he simply accepted the order. After all, it is easier to steal from a friend's house than from a stranger.And maybe the price of this order is not low. The female wizard is the third leader of the bandit group, so she should be quite rich.

Ye Xu remembered that this bandit group was not small, and they could even handle the escort team hired by the Moore Chamber of Commerce. Their strength and scale proved that they were not short of money.To do this can only be to want more money, the appetite is too big, and it will never be because of the lack of money recently, otherwise it will be very dangerous to fight with a business, and the probability of success is too low.

"You said that the witch has something to do with Tiffany? Tell me carefully."

Mo Bei pulled out the information about the witch. Originally, when they searched for the witch and Tiffany alone, they failed to find the relationship between the two because the witch changed her name.After degenerating into a robber, she changed her name and broke contact with her former friends.

So Mo Bei changed his direction to investigate, trying to find out everyone who had conflicts with Tiffany.Now he inquired about the key person from an NPC, who was also a female wizard, but with a different name.

"It's a coincidence that this female wizard, I found her photo, which is exactly the same as the one in the bandit group. If it's not a twin sister, then it's the same person."

Ye Xu nodded: "Twins are unlikely, otherwise it will be written in the female wizard's information."

"Yes, she does not have twins, but she and Tiffany have a bloody past."

Probably when Tiffany was still a ten-year-old girl, the headquarters of the Holy Church in the super main city conducted a recruitment.This recruitment is completely different from the fact that the player went to become a priest by himself. They searched for a hundred girls with the highest qualifications from all over the country, and they wanted to choose one to become the next saint for training.

In this selection, the five most outstanding girls were finally selected, including her and Tiffany.But neither of them competed for that final spot, but both were eliminated.

But even if they are eliminated, outstanding girls like them can still enter the Holy Church to become priests, but they still need to be assigned a mentor.The other girls had been sorted out a long time ago without any troubles, but the last four were different. They were so talented that they were favored by powerful seniors.

But among these powerful seniors, there was no Tiffany's mentor at the beginning, but someone who was inferior to them.Tiffany's mentor is a senior who is at the same level as the saint. That is to say, if she can be accepted as a disciple by this person, although she may not be able to surpass the saint after she grows up, at this stage, she is not far from the saint's starting point.

Among the four girls, the female wizard is the most competitive, unwilling to lose to No.1.After Tiffany accidentally attracted the attention of her seniors, she was very unwilling to be suppressed by Tiffany, so she began to compete with Tiffany for the opportunity to perform, and wanted to take this teacher away.

"Obviously she failed." Ye Xu probably knew the ending of the story when he heard this, "In the end Tiffany successfully became the disciple of the senior, and she may have been rejected because of being a demon, or it may be because she couldn't bear the breath. Walked away, and finally became a wizard."

Mo Bei snapped his fingers: "That's right! She provoked the disgust of many pastors because of her too many small actions and her lack of purity of heart. The pastor who was willing to accept her as a disciple also expressed regret, so after Tiffany's successful apprenticeship, she was the only one who was accepted as a disciple." There are left. But the Holy Church did not drive her away, those naive priests still want to wash her heart with light elements, so that she can be purified, so don’t be so aggressive in the future.”

"It's a pity that they were only able to do white jobs in the end. Before they could start nurturing and training the female wizard, she ran away in a fit of anger?"

"Yes, she couldn't accept that she was dismissed by the teacher she didn't like, and felt that she would only be a laughing stock if she kept it. So she took a chance and sneaked out of the Holy Church, and joined the group of wizards who had the most trouble with the Holy Church .”

There are two most hated occupations in the Holy Church, one is a thief and the other is a wizard.These two are gutter bugs and self-deprecating in the eyes of many paranoid and arrogant Holy Church NPCs.

The former is better, but some extreme NPCs are prejudiced against thieves, while most priests only hate evil thieves.The latter is different. Basically all wizards are rejected by priests, because wizards' magic is of dark attribute, while priests are of light attribute.

The conflict between wizards and priests is largely due to the mutual repulsion of magical elements, so they are not in harmony with each other, but they will not become enemies, and they can still fight side by side.Priests still don't like some of the wizard's vicious curses and tricks, but others are fine.

The female wizard did not have the talent to become a thief, so she chose the job of a wizard who also practiced magic.But her dissatisfaction with Tiffany and the next saint still exists in her heart, and it seems to intensify as time goes by.

"She seems to hate Tiffany even more. It may be that No.1 was sent away to be trained alone after becoming the successor of the saint, and she basically had no communication with her. But Tiffany stayed with her all the time, and later turned against her frequently in order to rob the teacher. " said Mo Bei.

"Then how did she degenerate into a robber?"

"I don't know about this, but I know that she felt that her strength had improved a few years ago, and Tiffany was sent to the secondary main city, so she went to trouble Tiffany. I guess she didn't know much about the promotion mechanism of the Holy Church. , thinking that Tiffany was rejected by the Holy Church, so I couldn't wait to jump out and make trouble."

Another reason is that Tiffany's teacher went to retreat, and no one supported her.But she didn't expect that Tiffany had become a powerful high priest after more than ten years, and she was several ranks lower than others, at most she could be considered a mid-level powerhouse.

So she naturally failed, and instead angered the Holy Church.The Holy Church put pressure on the wizard union, but the effect was not great, because the relationship between the two was not good, and it was impossible to give in because of a little conflict from the younger generation.But it is a pity that the teacher of the witch is a soft bone.

The Holy Church found this teacher alone. Due to the relationship between the two parties, the teacher could not openly show weakness to the Holy Church, but he could secretly trouble the witch.As a result, the female wizard had a miserable life on the wizarding union side, and finally disappeared.

"It seems that she didn't disappear, but she just ran away again. Last time she ran to the Wizards Union, this time she ran to become a robber. She is also a talent, and she can do well there."

After listening to Ye Xu, he roughly understood the context of the plot. Anyway, it was the enemy that Tiffany provoked.The mission should be considered complete, after all the witches are dead, so it's ok to go back and report.

Speaking of which, witches know Tiffany well. Who would know that Tiffany cares about that staff?But she knew Tiffany but didn't know that the devolution of the pastor was not abandoned by the Holy Church...it doesn't make sense!

"Something's wrong." Ye Xu stopped, "Would she be an NPC and not know the news that even the players can find out? We all know the truth about the devolution, so she wouldn't know? She ran to deal with Tiffany in such a hurry, it shouldn't be. , it is impossible for her not to know Tiffany's true strength."

Mo Bei was stunned after hearing this. He originally thought his logic was quite smooth, but when Ye Xu said this, he felt that it was wrong.

"Then, what's going on?" He asked stupidly.

Ye Xu pondered for a moment, wondering if there might be something in it that they had overlooked.After a while, he had a flash of inspiration.

"What would you do if you had to deal with someone who hated you?" he asked.

Mo Bei raised his forehead, and said weakly: "Spend money to ask someone to help?"

Ye Xu: "..." This is the style of a local tyrant.

He coughed dryly, gave up guiding Mo Bei to think, and gave the answer directly: "It's to find the other party's weakness or handle. What do you think is Tiffany's weakness?"

This Mo Bei can answer: "Of course it's her love brain!"

"That's right, she is in love with brains. And what she likes is her tutor. Whether teachers and students are allowed to fall in love in the holy church is a very important issue." Ye Xu nodded in approval.

If, as the sorceress thought, Tiffany was indeed disliked by the Holy Church, and thus lost to the secondary main city, then it may only be because of her personal style that she is unqualified.She fell in love with her mentor, and the Holy Church couldn't accept it, so she found an excuse for delegating, which was actually exile, but it was for the sake of both sides.

"You see, things are all crowded together. It's a coincidence that it's not normal. My mentor went to the capital for further studies, and Tiffany was released in the same year, and the female wizard came to find fault. After that, my mentor couldn't be contacted for several years."

Looking at it together, it really looks like Tiffany has exposed her feelings. The teacher doesn't know whether he took the initiative or was forced to go away, and went to the capital that Tiffany could not enter.There is a high probability that it is unacceptable, after all, it is the little apprentice who looks good to me, and may be raised as a daughter.

The two sides separated. From the geographical point of view, the secondary main city where Tiffany came happened to be the one farthest from the capital, so it might be that they wanted to deal with it coldly so that Tiffany would not be obsessed with it.Regardless of whether this result was the result of the mentor's dealings, or the Holy Church compromised on Tiffany's talent, it still gave Tiffany face and did not completely dislike her.

"But after Tiffany came to the secondary main city, she didn't settle down, or the sorceress seized the opportunity to make her unable to stay dormant. Her disturbance definitely caused a lot of noise and brought Tiffany a lot of trouble. It has had a very serious impact, so the Holy Church has put pressure on the wizard union, and if the pressure fails, they will find the teacher of the female wizard in private."

Normally, one warning is enough to pressure her, but if she persists, the matter must be more serious, or the Holy Church values ​​Tiffany more.Moreover, their pastor went out of his way to find a wizard who he despised alone, and did something shameless to them, that is, the trouble was too much.

In the end, not only did the witch get a lesson, but Tiffany didn't get any good.Regardless of whether she suffered an innocent disaster or not, in short, the depth of her affection for her teacher was shown to the Holy Church.Xu Shi found that Tiffany's love was deeper than they thought, so in the end he chose not to let the master and student contact at all.

"It's a pity that it's still useless this time. Tiffany doesn't look like she's let go at all." Mo Bei shook his head, "And she felt a little broken, and she didn't hide her feelings at all."

Otherwise, she should pretend to let people think that she has let go, so that at least she can see her teacher again and be transferred back to the headquarters.

Ye Xu explained: "Maybe it's because she hasn't been able to contact anyone for several years, and she's too worried that she won't be able to hide it? Or maybe she thinks there's no way to do it, and she can't deceive others by pretending."

"But isn't there a rumor that Tiffany is about to be transferred to a first-tier main city?" Mo Bei wondered.

"It's just a first-level main city. It's not that simple to upgrade from a first-level main city to a super main city. Many priests stay in the first-level main city for their entire lives."

After all, the super main city is the headquarters, and it is impossible for all powerful priests to return to the headquarters, otherwise they will not be crowded.Analogous to the ancient officialdom, didn't some powerful ministers also serve as foreign officials for a lifetime.

not to mention……

Ye Xu glanced at the map: "Didn't you find that there is a first-level main city farther away from the king's capital than the second-level main city? Although Tiffany has some personal emotional problems, her achievements and strength are placed there. If you don’t get promoted, you can’t justify it.”

"No wonder she gave up on herself." Mo Bei felt a little sympathetic to her, and his feelings didn't bother anyone. It was a bit too much to do so.

But after thinking about it, if that teacher had the same thoughts about her, it would be really unreasonable to beat the mandarin ducks with sticks.But if the teacher doesn't have that idea at all, it's not good to transfer her back to the teacher, and separating her is a good choice.

"Let's go, turn in the task, the rest has nothing to do with us." Ye Xu patted him on the shoulder.

Mo Bei nodded and said nothing more.
