Artificer Adventure Guide

Human members of the Emerald Claw are used to wearing masks that cover half of their faces.

But because they only wear them when on missions, it is generally difficult to leave any signs of this.

In the past, the detective lady might not think about this, but Fairhaven had just experienced an attack by the Emerald Claw some time ago.

This made her think more.

"Welcome, sir, how can I help you?"

While speaking, the detective lady activated her professional characteristics as an "investigator".

As a sub-profession of a wanderer, the investigator is not a profession that is good at fighting.

But at level 3, investigators can learn three professional characteristics: [Ears of Detectiveness], [Eyes of Detectiveness], and [Tactical Insight].

This greatly enhances the ability of investigators to investigate incidents.

"Oh! I came here to investigate something. I'm an informant for a newspaper in Breland. I want to dig up some big news about Aundair. The price is negotiable. My boss gave me a generous fund."

Speaking of words that could easily be mistaken for an imperial spy, the sloppy man grabbed a handful of gold coins from his dimensional bag and placed them on the desk.

'Lies. '

The detective labeled the sloppy man a member of the Emerald Claw and a spy in his heart. He pondered for a moment and only took two coins from the pile of gold coins.

"Sorry, our detective agency is mainly engaged in civil affairs, that is, helping those nobles investigate extramarital affairs or other things. The big news you mentioned should not be included in this list, but I will try to pay attention to it for you.

If you really want to publish a similar commission, I suggest you go to No. 16 Champagne Street to have a look. The detective agency there has a wide range of business, and there may be something you like."

Not daring to refuse directly, the detective only received a small commission.

The sloppy man frowned and thought for a while, then nodded.

"Okay, then you can help me keep an eye on the gossip about the nobles."

After collecting the remaining gold coins, he stood up and left the detective agency.

Turning around to make a cup of tea, the detective used his peripheral vision to pay attention to the whereabouts of the sloppy man, and finally found that he actually walked into a mansion across the street.

'Trouble, this guy's base is so close to me! I have to think of a way to make the people of the Kingdom Eye notice this guy. '

Having made up his mind, the detective took a sip of black tea and then sat back in his seat.

But just as the detective was about to pick up the pen to write a letter, her keen senses suddenly made her aware of a gaze staring at her in the room.

The detective's eyebrows twitched slightly, but years of experience allowed her to naturally follow up on her own unusual movements.

"Alas, such a big sponsor didn't take it. I should have known that I shouldn't have taken the task of those ladies. Now my connections are all there, and I can't make a transition at all."

While complaining, the detective continued to do his previous work, and also took the time to write letters to his friends, asking them to help keep an eye on the intelligence from the nobles.

After a long time, the feeling of being spied on finally disappeared.

But the detective didn't dare to leave just like that, but worked normally until the end of the get off work day before leaving the detective agency.

In the base of Emerald Claw, the priest of Blood of Wall scolded the sloppy man.

"Are you afraid that we live too peacefully here? Fortunately, the detective is just a crappy detective who investigates extramarital affairs for others. If he had a higher IQ, the arcane knights and tricksters of the Kingdom's Eye would have come to the door now!"

Putting down the horn and glass eyeball decorated with gems in his hands, the priest wished he could skin this subordinate alive.

But when he thought about the fact that most of the Emerald Claw members in the Fairhaven area had been cleared out by the Kingdom Eye, and he had few available people under his command, he had to suppress his anger.

‘I really don’t know how the top leaders got together with this group of brainless idiots. I might as well surrender to those heretics in Aerenal than to plot against them! ’

According to the thinking of believers, heretics are more hateful than pagans.

But in the eyes of this priest, pig teammates are worse than heretics.

After reorganizing his emotions, the Blood of Vol priest from Karrnath said:

"Let's put the investigation on hold. How is the process of cracking the videotape? Can we make a promotional video of our Blood of Vol doctrine and store it in it?"

"Yes! The use of the videotape is very simple, but the production process is a bit difficult. We have captured several first- and second-ring illusionists and are now working hard to sell them together when the portable illusion device goes on sale."

...

"Hey! Brother, do you want a tape? The content is absolutely explosive!"

On the way to the Tower of Illusion, Carl was suddenly stopped by a stick-like man wearing sunglasses.

The other person was wearing a coat. Seeing that Carl was stunned, he dragged him to the corner for two steps.

Then he pulled open his coat, revealing several videotapes stuck on both sides of the coat.

This strong sense of déjà vu made Carl dream back to his previous life. Although home computers were already popular when he was sensible, similar people still occasionally appeared near schools and hotels.

"How do I use this thing?"

Pretending to know nothing, Carl asked the other party in confusion.

There are only a few illusion devices, so it's useless for the other party to sell this thing!

However, as soon as the voice fell, the illusionist on the opposite side laughed and took out another thing from the dimension bag.

Carl couldn't tell what this thing was.

In front of the rectangular machine is a transparent glass plate in the shape of a tetrahedron. There is a socket on the side of the machine, which seems to be specially prepared for videotapes.

He cast an illusion on the surroundings, and the big brother who sells tapes put one of the videotapes on his coat into the device.

Soon, an image appeared in the tetrahedron.

However, just as the plot began, the other party pressed the device and the videotape popped out immediately.

‘It can be done this way! ’

It must be said that Carl still underestimated the heroes of the world.

He didn't expect that the popularization problem of the phantom device was solved by a group of sellers.

The big bosses of the School of Change and the School of Illusion were still leading people to tackle the technical problems, but the sellers used a glass tetrahedron with a small device that could continuously activate the videotape image to complete it!

The only problem was that the picture quality was too poor.

Although he only watched the plot for a few seconds, Carl didn't even see the face of the heroine clearly.

"How about it? Want one? If you buy all the tapes, we'll give you this player for free!"

Looking back at the surroundings with a guilty conscience, the man came closer and discussed in a low voice.

"Your player shouldn't be called Kuaibo, right?"

Looking at the other person with a complicated expression, Carl sighed and put his right hand on his shoulder.

"Brother, listen to my advice, there is no future in this way. Give me a business card. I'm a strange machine master. Let's work together, maybe we can..."

Hearing that Carl was a strange machine master, the man selling the videotapes put away the videotapes and player at lightning speed, and then ran away without looking back.
