I draw a card first

Chapter 119 The Second Commission

The night watchman of the royal family, this is a new force with a short history. According to the information provided by a certain marquis, the total creation time is only 100 years.

100 years ago, it was the most prosperous era of the contemporary royal family, and the king named Eland II was in charge of the country.

The king who took over the crown from his prematurely deceased father at the age of 11 can be said to be a rare hero in the 500-year history of the dynasty.

After ascending to the throne for more than ten years, the country that had begun to split and separatist, and was about to fall apart at any time, was once again unified. He actively explored the outer seas, discovered new islands, encouraged the development of science and technology, and successfully opened the age of steam.

When he was 30 years old, he thought he had defeated all the great nobles in the country who might threaten him, and truly became the king who gathered all the power and body. One day, he had a whim and wanted to extend his hand into the unknown dark world.

This is how the Night's Watch was born.

It's a pity that although Ailand II thought very well - as the ruler of the earth, it is not easy to deal with a group of monsters hiding in the corner?
But the reality soon taught the king a good lesson, what does it mean to not die if you don't die.

Although the specific process has been buried in history, but through the scattered information from the heretics, it can be guessed that the king should have found a terrible book that recorded the knowledge of evil gods, and really Successfully summoned an Old One Dominator!
Those ordinary monsters will be turned into lunatics if ordinary people look directly at them without preparation. One can imagine what a terrible disaster it will be if an old ruler directly descends to the world!

In short, the old royal city has turned into a ruin that is still a forbidden area, blocked by the joint efforts of various organizations with a tacit understanding.

The original soldiers and civilians were all killed and injured, and another royal family that was not in the royal city at that time hurriedly took over the throne under the situation that the four directions were about to move around, and announced the establishment of a new capital.

After moving to the new capital, the royal power, which suffered a huge loss, inevitably began to decline. The aristocrats and capital of various places followed the wave of the industrial revolution and took the opportunity to rise. The entire history entered a new chapter, and finally entered the current era of parliament.

In order not to repeat the responsibility, the remaining night watchman organization was also continued by the royal family, which is a warning to future generations, and at the same time try to prevent similar dangers from happening again.

So strictly speaking, the Night Watch is a force that although it is not strong and has no deep foundation, and basically relies on soldiers to beat them up when encountering problems, its beliefs are relatively the most noble.

From the perspective of a paladin, Aiwen expressed appreciation and approval for their behavior and philosophy.

And this is why he is still willing to sit on the sofa with Yulia, a woman who brushed himself once, and have a peaceful chat with Yulia, instead of throwing her by the neck and throwing her into the basement, serving her with chili water on a tiger stool reason.

"Mr. Aiwen, get to know Yulia again, a night watchman whose mission is to protect the peace of the kingdom."

"Also, Mr. Senior Investigator, please don't call me ma'am. You should call me Miss Yulia."

The still so charming woman stretched out her hand to pick up the coffee, and said to Ivan with a slight smile. Dressed in a black lace dress, she was still beautiful and seductive.

It's a pity that there were two more than [-]-watt light bulbs standing behind her with serious faces, which quite spoiled the atmosphere of the scene.

So someone completely ignored the charming red eyes of the woman in front of him, shrugged, and said straightforwardly:
"Then Miss Yulia, may I ask what you want to do this time?"

"You don't want to ask about the progress of the case, do you?"

Undoubtedly, the scene in front of him completely confirmed his previous guess. This woman knew his identity as an investigator from the very beginning, and the so-called entrustment was completely using him.

Even if he knows that this is "necessary for the plot", someone is still a little unhappy. If the other party can't say anything useful next, he will start to drive them away.

Aware of the sarcasm and impatience in Aiwen's words, Yulia swiped a few charms again, and then went straight to the topic.

"No, with Mr.'s help, the murderer has been successfully arrested, so this visit, first of all, is to thank Mr. and settle the payment."

"At the same time, I also want to ask Mr. Detective Aiwen, would you like to accept our next commission?"

Opening a black suitcase, two hundred gold coins were pushed to Ivan's eyes by the other party, but someone ignored them.

The four eyes looked at each other, and the appearance of the other party still being confident was really curious, and Ai Wen couldn't help squinting his eyes and asked.

"Then, dear Miss Yulia, why do you think I will accept your commission after being deceived once?"

Yulia raised her red lips and smiled confidently.

"Because there is a reward that my husband can't refuse."

A PY deal that no one knew about was secretly concluded in the room, and soon Yulia turned around and left with a large group of soldiers and two cultists who were successfully captured alive.

The fine rain quickly washed away the last traces of the battle. If it weren't for the large pile of gold coins on the table, everything just now seemed to be a dream.

Throwing aside the cold coffee in his hand, Ai Wen fingered a hollow transparent ball with a diameter of seven or eight centimeters, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

During the short conversation, the other party put together another piece of the puzzle for him.

A group of cultists of unknown origin sneaked into the city of Allenburg a while ago, and under the cover of the murderous actions of the local "Black Goat of the Forest" cult, they secretly carried out the assassination of some specific people.

These people include nobles, officials, scholars and businessmen, but these people have a common special identity
— An insider in electricity research!
"So, is everything related to the promotion of electricity?"

According to Yulia, although he has successfully caught a living person right now, based on past experience, it is basically difficult to get any information from the other party.

Therefore, in the absence of manpower, especially the lack of senior personnel with experience in dealing with monsters, the Night Watchman wants to entrust him, a "well-known" senior investigator, to simultaneously track down an investigation target that they are inconvenient to deal with.

Originally, Ivan had no interest in this kind of thing.

Just kidding, I didn't even understand the original commission!At least he hasn't even discovered the so-called truth of the world, how can he have time to meddle in electric energy!

To put it bluntly, as an outsider, if it wasn't for the task requirement, he wouldn't be bothered to accept the first entrustment. As for the second industrial revolution in the dungeon world, can it start smoothly?None of his business!

However, just when Aiwen wanted to refuse, the other party offered a deposit that he really couldn't refuse

——A special hollow crystal ball.

Although at first glance, this thing does not seem to be anything special, at most it is a work of art with a relatively special craftsmanship, but soon, Ivan discovered the hidden secret.

——On the surface of the ball, there is actually a line of spell written in extremely tiny light blue characters!
"This is a short passage from the Necronomicon, which records some unknown secret. A senior investigator like you shouldn't be able to refuse such a temptation, right?"

Although Aiwen at the time really wanted to refuse coolly and come to the scene to slap his face, but a certain desire from the skeleton giant made him hesitate, and finally chose to accept the commission.

In other words, does this count as the "mission NPC" releasing the second phase of the mission?
