Ancient God Library

Chapter 165
As one of the main forces in Jianhai to solve extraordinary events, the Bureau of Investigation often uses simple methods to deal with extraordinary events.

Romon has a clean background and is also a member of Saint Amethyst Academy.

In addition, I know the staff of the Bureau of Investigation, know the basics, there is no precedent for committing crimes, and my mental state is very stable.

With such an identity, there is naturally no need for more cross-examination.

They came over and went through the general process, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, they could close the team.

As for the follow-up investigation.

Although this kind of attack and killing among civil awakened people is not common, it is not uncommon. Whether you can find the mastermind behind the scenes depends on luck.

That's why Romon didn't have much confidence in them. After the Bureau of Investigation closed the team and sent cleanup personnel to clean up the scene of the crime, he left directly and came to a racecourse according to his own divination results.

It is oval in shape, with a huge racecourse in the middle and audience stands on both sides.

Romon went over the crowd and found the director of the racetrack.

The other party was a middle-aged man with a big belly, wearing a black formal suit, and was constantly wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, shouting at the people around him: "Hurry up, report the odds just now, there is another big customer buying here!" No.17, this purebred river valley horse has won for the third time this month, and it would be too fake to win any more!"

The supervisor yelled several times, but the room was silent.

He turned around and saw that the people in the room were already lying on the ground in disorder, seemingly unconscious.

A burly-looking strange man leaned against the wall and looked at him coldly.

Faced with such a strange situation, the executive thought of something, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"you are?"

He looked at the strange man in front of him.

At this moment, Romon put on the mask of the hypocrite, and controlled the muscle fibers, adjusted his body shape, completely different from his previous appearance.

Whether the other party has seen him or not, it is impossible to recognize him.

"Take me to your boss, I'll just say it once." Romon patted him on the shoulder.

The supervisor trembled, and immediately nodded with a sad face, "I'll take you right away, don't kill me, don't kill me!"

The fat supervisor led Romon along the way.

After passing through several houses, the bodyguards along the way were easily dismissed by Romon silently. The fat supervisor was even more frightened, and he didn't even dare to lift his head. He didn't knock on the door until he reached the end of the passage.

It was a strong man in black who opened the door.

The result of Romon's divination showed that the messenger who sent the two awakened ones had a great connection with this racecourse.

The man in black saw a strange face following behind the fat supervisor, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he touched his waist to take out a pistol, but he felt his body shaking for a while, and a deep sense of powerlessness hit his heart. Even the hand holding the gun hangs limply, and the burly body falls to the ground with a plop.

Romon was not surprised.

To deal with these ordinary people, simple drugs are very effective.

The fat supervisor turned pale with fright, leaned aside hastily, and gave way to the seat in front of the door.

Romon didn't say much, and pushed the door open.

Boom!

Intensive gunfire sounded, and several corners of the room were firing at the same time in the direction of the main entrance.

Romon, who had been prepared for a long time, directly leaned back tactically, and after dodging two bullets, his body quickly disappeared on the spot.

He backed out of the room again!
The fat supervisor took out a pistol from his waist, and pointed it tremblingly forward, and the two just bumped into each other.

"Why, you want to fight me too?"

Romon smiled.

The fat executive's legs gave way, and he threw the pistol on the ground, "Forgive me, forgive me, I usually play fake games at most, and I have never done anything harmful."

Romon didn't bother to argue with him, so he slapped him unconscious.

Guessing that the time should be almost up, he opened the door again.

The room has a large space and gorgeous decoration. The floor is covered with a big red carpet, and the furniture is antique, exuding a luxurious and elegant temperament.

Several men were lying on the ground in disorder.

Romon walked in before, not only to observe the situation inside, but also to poison.

It's too inconvenient to do it yourself. If you start a little harder, these guys may die immediately, and then they will get blood everywhere, and it will be difficult for the investigation bureau to explain.

He's not a murderer.

If these people are all dead, then there is no way to ask the real behind-the-scenes guy.

It is safest to use poison.

But Romon didn't expect the opponent's firepower to be so fierce before, so he retreated temporarily, and waited until the toxicity completely broke out, and then came in to clean up the mess.

I looked at the faces of several people.

Romon found the leader here, tied him to a chair, and removed the drug effect for him.

"who are you?"

After the man woke up, there was a look of panic in his eyes. Although he was trying to calm down, the expression on his face was uncontrollable.

Romon didn't talk nonsense to him, he just pulled out his fangs, and pointed his gleaming sword blade at his face: "From now on, I will ask you to answer, and if I talk nonsense, I will cut off a piece of your body.

If you think this is not exciting, then I have many ways.

Don't try to lie, you should know that the awakened have plenty of ways to tell.

By the way, don't count on the Awakened One hidden in your room, he was taken care of by me just now. "

Hearing Romon's last words, the man's face turned pale, his whole body trembled, and despair appeared in his eyes.

He originally planned to delay time and rely on this last hole card, but at this moment his hope was completely shattered.

Under Romon's torture, the man still had some backbone at first, and wanted to bear it.

But soon he couldn't stand it anymore and revealed the truth.

This guy is the leader of the caravan, and there are hundreds of people eating with him. Behind him is an aristocrat named Bertram who supports him, and the other party contributes money and effort to achieve the scale it is today.

This time, the nobleman ordered him to keep an eye on the movements of an enemy, and if necessary, try to test him out.

But the guy clearly got it wrong.

He actually sent someone to attack Romon, intending to take him back and claim credit for Bertram.

This is the case in particular.

It can only be said that Romon would like to thank this guy for not holding his breath and making his own decisions, otherwise, Bertram has been planning in secret for a long time, and he still doesn't know what kind of moth he will make.

Now at least he knows it in advance and can prevent it in a targeted manner.

Bertram was the guy who clashed with him last time in the Knight's Palace.The guy's father was a viscount, but he didn't have much real power.

The Plantagenet Empire canonized many nobles, and there is a big difference between those with real power and those without real power.

After thinking for a while, Romon didn't kill the opponent, but poisoned him, so that he could leave a pawn instead.

"I give you a task, help me keep an eye on Bertram's whereabouts, and I will give you the contact method. Only I can undo the poison on your body, and as long as I have a thought, I can kill you. If you don't believe it, You can give it a try. As long as this matter is over, I will detoxify you.

By the way, what's your name? "

Romon looked at the man on the chair.

"Yarimi, my name is Yarimi." The man said hastily, without the slightest imposing manner of a gang boss.

"Okay, Mr. Yami, I hope we can cooperate happily."

Romon held out his hand.

There was an ugly smile on the other party's face.

……

Time passes day by day.

Romon's mastery of the six skills of knights is constantly deepening.

He has been able to use the broken water stably, and there is no jerky in actual combat.

In addition to practicing every day.

He also has to go to the Amethyst Library to be on duty.

It's just that Romon suggested to Mrs. Field that she should take three days off and four days off.

Being a librarian is not an easy job, and there are usually few people in the library. Occasionally, when students come over, they will leave in a hurry after borrowing books, and will not stay there for too long.

As for the people who read in the library, there are very few.

Therefore, Romon stipulated that the library will open every three to five, and it did not cause much impact.

During this period of time, his life tended to be stable, and he had nothing to do to brag with his senior sister, and then went to Ligeia Club to fish and grow flowers, living a very leisurely life.

Of course, the main reason is that he has never found the skull of the spirit monkey.

This forced Romon to turn his attention to other places.

For example, the keel and ring obtained from the ancient tomb, and the blood-red solid ball he obtained from killing Augusta of the Blood Cup Cult before.

The full utility of the keel is unclear.

But as long as you carry it on your body, you can nourish your physical body all the time.

Romon found that there was already a little bit of golden light in his bones. Although it was very faint and hard to detect without looking carefully, it was indeed quietly changing his physical fitness.

This thing is a good thing, and it would be better if you know how to use it, but Romon asked two senior sisters, and they didn't know anything about dragon bones.

Actually think about it.

Now even the giant dragons have completely disappeared. There are very few people who know the history of the dragon clan, and those who know how to use the dragon bones are naturally even rarer.

For the keel, Romon also went to the store of the Church of Steam to buy a special storage box, which can block the detection of psionic energy and vision.

He is also not greedy.

Just take the box with you and nourish your body with keel every day. Humans have to learn to be content and happy.

As for the ring that can summon a big golden retriever beast, Romon also made a special study of it.

He didn't find out what kind of strange beast that big golden retriever was. In the illustrated book of strange beasts issued by the government of the Plantagenet Empire, there was no such strange and harmless strange beast.

However, he did find out the type of the ring, and it was a beast-fearing ring that could be used as an antique.

As long as there is a drop of blood, a contract can be established with the beast pointed to by the ring.

Guys who use this kind of ring are basically awakened people who like to manipulate and drive strange beasts.

However, this one of Romon is an old-fashioned thing, and it is incomparable with the current Beast Familiar Ring.

In plain language, it is the difference between an abacus and an electronic computer. The latest model of the Beast Familiar Ring was launched by the Church of Order, and the new model can be taken home with as little as [-].

Romon guessed that the golden retriever dog that this beast-monitoring ring pointed to was probably a pet domesticated by the owner of the ancient tomb.

As for combat power...

He is basically on par with his little black cat, and is even frightened by the black cat sometimes.

The most important thing was the solid red sphere that was released from Augusta's body after his death. Romon checked in the Amethyst Library and finally determined what it was.

blood!
The awakened members of the Blood Cup Cult can extract the power from their own blood and implant it into other people's bodies after they have cultivated to the fifth level.

People who are implanted with blood are called "blood breeders".

And these fifth-level awakened people, when they are seriously injured and cannot be cured, or their lifespan is approaching, and they are on the verge of death, they can also turn their own memory, blood energy, spiritual energy, etc., all the power they have cultivated in this generation, into one blood species.

As long as the blood species is used in a special way, it can be resurrected and returned again.

There are many methods of resurrection.

The most common is to wake up consciousness in the body of the person who took the blood.As for whether it is the consciousness in the blood species or the consciousness in the body after waking up, it depends on luck.

But as long as the blood species is successfully stimulated.

Then the guy with the blood species, no matter who his consciousness is, will become the new priest of the Blood Cup Cult.

Just like the current ghost blood Hofan, no one knows how many "ghost blood" he is.

Hofan may die and disappear, but the title of ghost blood will be passed on to the next awakened person who obtains his blood.

In this way, the high-end combat power of the Blood Cup Cult can remain stable and continue to grow.

However, there is no absolute security in the world.

For example, now, the blood species that Romon is holding comes from "Beast Blood" Reinhardt.

This was originally prepared by Hofan for his student Augusta. For this reason, they made such a big gesture in Wudun, just to allow Augusta to successfully hatch and fuse blood species, and become four in one fell swoop. Level [-] or even level [-] Awakened.But for some unknown reason, Augusta had some indigestion, failed to be promoted smoothly, and failed to fully integrate this blood species.

As a result, after his death, the blood species separated out again.

It now fell into Romon's hands.

In this way, the Blood Cup Cult is equivalent to losing the fighting power of a fifth-level awakened person forever, unless they regain this blood species.

But Romon left no trace on the island.

He paid great attention to concealment. The siege was also led by the Golden Lion family. It was Earl Odell's eldest son, Viscount Ian, who started it.

Even if the Blood Cup Cult wants to retrieve this blood species, it must first go to wrestle with the Golden Lion Family, and it is impossible to find Romon here.

How to deal with this blood species has become a difficult problem for Romon now.

It is definitely impossible to hand in, not only will you not get anything, but you will get into a lot of trouble.What Romon thought was whether he could transform this blood into combat power.

But he found many ways, none of which was possible.

The blood species is extremely strong, and he can't leave a trace on it with all his strength.As for using it as medicine or as a ritual material, Romon didn't want to court death yet.

So in the end, after researching and studying the past, he could only throw this thing into the locker in the library of the ancient gods.

Let it take its time.

When your own strength is high in the future, you can definitely find a way to use it.

January flies by.

The evening of May [-]st.

Just as Romon finished his training with the old knight Amos and walked out of Anjou Castle, a coachman rushed up to him and brought him a piece of news.

After the coachman said a few words in his ear.

Romon's eyes lit up.

There's news from Bertram!

……

Bertram was defeated by Romon in the Palace of Knights, and after losing face, he didn't go out, and stayed at home all day without shame.

I really can't hold back here.

He just made an appointment with a few friends and went to the business district of Jianhai to have a fun time.

There are many entertainment venues in the business district, all of which are available, and there are no other inconveniences except expensive.This is also a place where noble children like to come to spend.

Clean, tidy and classy, ​​and the overhead is affordable.

"Bertram, you have suffered such a big loss, can you really bear it? That kid is an administrator in the academy, what are you afraid of? Brothers, do you want to call a few underground awakeners and kill him quietly?"

"Yeah, we can't stand it anymore! I just met some gossiping guys the day before yesterday, and I taught them a lesson for you."

Inside the box.

Several sons of nobles and merchants are drinking here.

Holding a scantily clad woman in his hands, Bertram groped around her, with a look of hatred on his drunken face: "Don't worry, I must pay back this debt.

I have been investigating his background before, and I am not in a hurry to start, I just sent someone to watch him.

But now it's almost over. "

"What's his background?" asked a yellow hair next to him.

"Hmph, it's just a guy from other places. One sister is a teacher in Saint Amethyst College. But the teacher of Saint Amethyst College has nothing to do with me. Just wait, just this month, I will make him pay the price .”

"Do you want us to help? I know a few outlaws, all of them are second-order!"

"No need to deal with such a guy with no background, I have already figured out how to deal with him."

A group of people drank and chatted until midnight.

Because he was out for entertainment, Bertram didn't bring bodyguards with him. He was also a second-order awakened person, and it would be inconvenient to do many things with the bodyguards of the awakened person.

Bertram walked down the restaurant, and when the night wind blew, his throat felt like a cat's scratching, and his stomach was overwhelmed. He lay down on the side of the kerosene lamppost next to him, and vomited a lot.

After vomiting, he climbed into his carriage with a tired face, and said to the coachman, "Take me to Hongfen Street."

The coachman didn't answer, and immediately drove forward.

Although Bertram was a little strange, but because alcohol paralyzed his brain, he didn't think much about it, and fell asleep while lying in the carriage.

This is in Jianhai City, and it is not an outer city with poor security, so there is no danger.

I don't know how long it took.

Bertram felt the silence around him, and woke up from the carriage with a start.

He remembered that he was going to Hongfen Street just now, no matter how late it was, there were noisy voices there, how could it be so quiet?
He opened the carriage window.

I found that I had already left the city, with large trees on both sides, and the outlines of mountains in the distance undulating under the moonlight.

Bertram was half sober in an instant.

He immediately activated his psionic energy, but found that his body didn't listen at all.

"Stop, who are you, who are you!"

He looked at the broad back of the coachman and roared loudly.

The car actually stopped.

It stopped outside the outskirts of Jianhai, in front of the river that went straight into the sea.

Romon wore a hypocrite mask and covered the outside with a black cloth, turned around and jumped out of the car.

Bertram wanted to run away, but he fell to the ground after taking two steps, staring at the man in black in horror.

Click.

A flash of light flashed by.

Bertram's neck was bleeding, and he made a babbling sound, and he lost his breath after a few seconds.

Romon was not careless.

In order to confirm that the opponent was completely dead, he added several more swords.

It wasn't until the corpse was too cold to move that Romon took out a small bottle of black liquid from his body and poured it on it.

It's sizzling!

Bursts of white smoke came out, and the liquid crazily corroded the corpse, melting the corpse in a short time.

Romon didn't bother, and brought the carriage over and lit it again.

After it was completely burnt out, leaving only a mass of black and scorched ashes, he packed these things together with the burned soil just now, and threw them into the nearby river.

The other party is the son of a nobleman. After disappearing, there will definitely be awakened people looking for it through special means. No matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps going.

Romon never thought of killing people, nor did he think of killing anyone.

I thought that in the fight in the Knights Palace, even if there was a little conflict and friction between everyone, at most they would not communicate with each other afterwards.

Who would have thought that in this world, people's hearts are sinister.

People don't hurt the tiger's mind, but the tiger hurts the mind.

If Romon hadn't received the news from Yarimi and came over in time tonight, and heard the conversation between Bertram and his friends, he might not have acted so decisively.

But the other party wanted such a vicious attack, so Romon was forced to defend himself.

After completely destroying the corpse.

Only then did Romon detour the long way, instead of going back to his dormitory in the academy, he went to find Ferranca, planning to visit the night world of Jianhai.

He had already made an appointment with the other party, and it was a temporary idea to deal with Bertram today, but now it became his good alibi.

Although the probability of this matter being found on him is extremely small, it cannot be ignored.

……

So a week passed.

Romon still went about his daily life.

And the news of Bertram's disappearance finally spread throughout the aristocratic circle.

Romon often studied in the Knight's Palace, and naturally met many people, and learned about the investigation through chatting with them.

Bertram's father uses all his connections to find out where his son is.

The Bureau of Investigation was also trying to search, but nothing was found.

Inside the Knight's Palace, Anthony sat on the steps and said in a low voice: "This time the perpetrator is a cautious and experienced guy. Several fortune tellers from the Bureau of Investigation took action, but they couldn't find any clues."

Luo Meng showed surprise on his face: "So powerful? Could it be those cult members who caused trouble? Haven't there been wanted awakened cult members appearing recently? Could it be these guys who did it?"

Anthony hasn't answered yet.

Another tall man with freckles and dry brown hair said: "It is possible, but not a big deal. This time the killer is completely different from those cults."

The man who made the sound was Wenger. His father was the director of the Maritime Administration of Jianhai, with the title of Viscount.

Wenger is a kind person.

How should I put it, after getting along during this period of time, it gave Romon the feeling that this person is good.

No matter whether he was shopping in Flower Street or drinking and eating, he was never stingy. Even when he heard that Romon needed the skull of a spirit sucking monkey, he still used his own channels to inquire about it.

Everyone can talk and play together.

Generally speaking, this person can do it and be able to deal with it.

Hearing what Wenger said, Romon asked, "What is the style of a cult?"

Anthony next to him also pricked up his ears, pretending to be listening attentively.

Wenger smiled and said: "Because my father is in charge of shipping, he has come into contact with a lot of cult cases, and many murders happened after going to sea, so I know a little bit about it.

First of all, the cult will usually not only kill one person.

Either they practiced some evil spirits, or they sacrificed to please some weird existences in exchange for the desired benefits.

In such a situation, a large number of killings are generally required, at least several starts.

I heard that on the night Bertram disappeared, he was drinking with some friends. If it was a cult, his friends, including the coachman, would all die together.

The second is that it doesn't make sense for the cult to kill him.

If you want to provoke the authorities, there are plenty of people who are more suitable than him.

If it's for cultivating evil methods, go to the outer city to find a few homeless people and kill them, no one will care at all.

It's completely unnecessary.

So I think it's a vendetta, or someone hired to kill. "

Hearing Wenger's inference, Anthony nodded, thinking that what this guy said made a lot of sense.

Luo Meng also knew in his heart that even Wenger could deduce it, and the people from the Investigation Bureau must also be able to deduce it.

But well.

There is no surveillance, no video recording, and no big data tracking in this world.

Romon has also dealt with the extraordinary channel that is most likely to discover him. Unless someone whose strength is far superior to him tracks it, it is impossible to find any clues.

The facts are also as he inferred.

Another two weeks passed, and everything was uneventful.

All kinds of exciting things happen in Jianhai's social circle every day.

The son of a fringe viscount disappeared. In addition, this guy is usually not very popular, likes to go out and fool around, and has a lot of enemies. This matter was quickly submerged in the massive amount of information.

of course.

Some people did not give up.

Bertram's father, Viscount Kraft, turns 50 this year.

He has gray temples, deep dark circles on his face, pale complexion, sloppy footsteps, and his body is extremely weak at first glance.

Viscount Kraft's body is not only fat, but also weak.

This is also a common problem of most nobles.

As a viscount, his ancestors left a lot of land, and he can live a luxurious life and maintain luxurious expenses by collecting rent every month.

The greatest conflict between the emerging aristocracy and the landed aristocracy was the inheritance of land.

The emerging aristocracy wants to reduce the rights of the landed aristocracy and abolish the hereditary system, which is digging the roots of the opposite.

Closer to home.

Three weeks since his disappearance, Viscount Kraft has not received any blackmail letters, and he no longer has much hope for his son's survival.

All he wanted to do now was to find the murderer and pay with his blood.

For this reason, he even spared no expense to hire a well-known detective from Jianhai to find out the murderer who killed his son.

You must know that the detective just asked him to go out for a trip, no matter whether he found any clues or not, he would pay him a hundred gold pounds first.

As for if there is progress in the future.

Then you have to pay more.

With such a high price, the other party is not putting on airs. Ordinary detectives are naturally helpless in the face of such extraordinary incidents, and there is nothing to investigate.

But the detective that Viscount Kraft found was a third-order awakened person.

An Awakened who is proficient in divination and searching for a path.

"Mr. Gerald, it's already the third day. Haven't you found any useful clues?" Viscount Kraft felt a little anxious.

Recently.

The detective Jerrold he invited just sat in the carriage every day and wandered around the whole world, more leisurely than anyone else.

It's not like he's here to investigate the case, it's more like he's here to travel.

Hearing Viscount Kraft's question, Gerald smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, Lord Viscount.

You know my word of mouth in the circle, as long as you take over the matter, there will be a result in the end.

There is no rush for this kind of thing, and progress can only be made when the time comes.If you want to catch your son's killer, you have to be patient. "

This man wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses, has a bookish look on his face, and smiles all the time, as if no matter what happens, his mentality will not be affected.

Viscount Kraft just wanted to speak.

Gerald continued: "However, after the past few days of searching, I almost have some clues. In fact, if we want to find the murderer, we only need to consider two aspects.

One is who can profit when he dies.

The second is that he had any enemies during his lifetime.

The first case can basically be ruled out based on the information you gave me in the past few days, so we will give priority to the second case.

In the past three days, I have listed all the people your son has had enemies with in the past year.

After the investigation, there are only a few people on the last list left. You can check to see if there is anyone who is particularly suspicious. "

Gerald took a pamphlet out of his hand.

Several names are recorded in sequence on it.

The one who bears the brunt of it is Romon Charlotte, and his detailed information will be included later.

"This……"

Viscount Kraft looked at the names of these people and frowned: "Why did this teacher from Saint Amethyst Academy have a relationship with my son?"

The first thing he noticed was Romon.

After all, Romon was ranked first, and the information behind it was extremely detailed. After listing them out one by one, even Viscount Kraft found it very difficult.

The teacher is the dean of St. Amethyst College, and the two senior sisters are third-order awakeners.

Moreover, he is also the person valued by the old knight in the Knight Palace,
Viscount Kraft knew very well that although the old knight did not have any title, he was a veteran who had fought with the previous king on the battlefield, so he was not easy to mess with.

Finally, the words Ligeia Club made him even more troublesome.

The Ligeia Club has great energy, and Her Majesty Empress Cynthia's cousin, Princess Mihe, is inextricably linked with that club.

"Hehe, it seems that the Viscount seldom pays attention to your son on weekdays."

Gerald recounted the conflict between Bertram and Romon in the Knights' Palace, and then analyzed: "As far as I know, your son should have trained some people under his command. Cover up.

But before he had time to act, he disappeared after being drunk once, and it was obviously more ominous.Where we go today, maybe we can find some clues. "

These are all questions from the mouths of Bertram's friends.

While the two were talking, the car stopped outside a racetrack.

To Viscount Kraft's surprise, this is actually the racecourse he invested in!

The person in charge on weekdays was also supported by him.

"Did we come to the wrong place?" Viscount Kraft asked suspiciously.

Gerald smiled: "That's right, we're here today to find the boss, your loyal subordinate, Mr. Yarimi."
