Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

The administrative affairs officer in the night watchman organization is usually served by a "relationship household" in the church.

There are two night watchman administrative officers in Lars City, an administrative secretary and an administrative director.

The administrative secretary had retired many years ago—this position was originally used to accommodate "relationship households". The old woman who served as the administrative secretary was the mother of a night watchman who died in the line of duty. When she reached the retirement age, she took her pension and moved to The king has lived.

Captain Donald could assure that there was nothing suspicious about the retired executive secretary. Six years ago, when the old woman moved away with her grandson, she was on a passenger liner run by Donald's relatives.

And that administrative director...Donald obviously had this person in his memory, but when Stanford asked, he was speechless, and couldn't even report that person's name!

"I'm going to check the files of the Department of Public Security." Detective Stanford left in a hurry before leaving.

Yang Qiu looked at Donald, who was dripping with cold sweat, and raised his hand to comfort him: "Calm down, Captain, this is not your problem, your perception is just affected by external forces. If you can still clearly remember the memory that others don't want you to have, That's not good for you."

Yang Qiu has not been unreasonable enough to criticize non-professionals for the supernatural phenomenon in the city - if others run away and Donald does not, it can at least prove that the officer of the National Guard has a clear conscience.

"Sorry, I lost my composure." Captain Donald wiped his cold sweat, clutching his throbbing chest with lingering fear, "I... sir, is there anything else I can do?"

"I really need your cooperation, Captain." Yang Qiu sat back on the high-backed chair and said calmly, "How many families in Taqiya rose after the War to Protect the Nation?"

Captain Donald was taken aback.

"Let me put it another way, how many local families are there that were not well-known before the War to Protect the Nation, but rose suddenly after the War to Protect the Nation, and have continued to prosper for at least three generations?" Yang Qiu said.

Gold Coin Church is not dead.

The Gold Coin Church, which has flourished for less than a hundred years, has built churches and arranged for the bishop of the diocese to sit in it.

The entire army of night watchmen in Lars City was annihilated, but the diocesan bishop of Taqia Land did not respond. It is difficult to cover up the past with only a small administrative officer.

The only possibility is... There is another force that may be quite large and is working together to cover up this matter.

And the influence of this unknown force is likely not limited to Lars City.

Captain Donald pondered for a while, and reported a dozen surnames.

Most of the owners of these surnames are nobles from the fiefdoms of Tachia, including viscounts, barons, and lords.

One of the viscounts and three barons were nobles from Lars City, and they had fled with their families before Yang Qiu disembarked.

And the escaped viscount is the lord of Lars City!

Yang Qiu subconsciously turned his gaze to the north, wondering if he should call in the army of players now and let these Erhas go after him...

Those guys can't take a boat and can only leave by land. Players will definitely be able to catch up.

For the consideration of the next strategic plan, Yang Qiu pressed this idea—letting those guys flee all the way to spread panic, and easily take over wherever the army goes, instead of fighting all the way, it is obviously better than arresting a few suspicious people now. It's a bargain.

Besides, driving all these local tyrants with dirty buttocks to the capital of Takia will do more good than harm for Yang Qiu...

"I still need your help, Captain." Yang Qiu stood up and reached for the cloak on the coat rack next to him. "Can you send a group of port guards to accompany me to search the former castellan's residence? I suspect The conspiracy of the city night watchman is related to the original city owner."

Captain Donald, who was in a panic, was in a trance, and responded without thinking too much.

When the officer, who was frightened by the fact that the city's night watchman was wiped out, led a group of port guards and ran to the city lord's mansion after Yang Qiu's ass, Captain Donald shuddered and came back to his senses.

Leading troops to follow the Nightmare Butcher to ransack the home of the city lord—what he handed over on horseback is not called a certificate of honor, but a contract of sale!

After recalling it, Captain Donald's face changed wildly, and cold sweat dripped down his chin.

Yang Qiu didn't understand the captain's entangled mood at all, he stood still in front of the closed door, turned around and ordered: "Break the door."

Captain Donald resisted for a little while in silence, then turned around and shouted behind him, "Didn't you hear me, smash the door down!"

The port guards, who had no idea what was going on and were confused, stepped forward to break the door in a daze.

When Yang Qiu unceremoniously used the port guard as a house raider, on the other hand, the Stanford detective found the information of the night watchman's administrative affairs officer in the file room of the Department of Public Security, and hurried to meet Captain Mace.

The night watchman branch of Lars City is located on the east side of the inner city, just one block away from the wharf on Flower Basket Street, a small independent courtyard with a (horse) parking lot and a basement.

The closed door had already been pried open by Captain Mace. When the Stanford agents arrived, Captain Mace and the three night watchmen he brought were searching the entire branch thoroughly.

"There are still some moldy tea leaves in the tea room, and there are several sets of ordinary clothes that have been replaced in the dressing room." Captain Mace sighed loudly when he saw Agent Stanford, "When the night watchmen here were called away, they probably didn't expect They're never coming back."

Agent Stanford understood Captain Mace's feelings very well. He learned that agents in other cities would also hurt others when they encountered accidents. He didn't say any words of consolation, but simply handed over the information.

"Sam Atwood—?!"

After seeing the name on the information, Captain Mace shrank his pupils and looked at Agent Stanford in shock.

"I'm surprised too." Agent Stanford said with a wry smile.

The name Sam is very common, and there are eight thousand if not ten thousand people in the Rhine Kingdom.

The surname Atwood is very unusual - there are very few people with this surname in the Eastern Kingdoms, and it is more common in Middle-earth.

In the Gold Coin Church, there is only one person with this surname... Cardinal Atwood, one of the twelve priests of the Holy Land Council of the Gold Coin Church!

Captain Metz collected the documents, looked left and right, confirmed that the three subordinates were busy searching for clues, and then hurriedly led Agent Stanford to a remote place.

"If it's a descendant under Atwood's crown, it shouldn't be named as 'Sam' casually." Captain Mace lowered his voice, "Is it possible that this person is...?"

"Bastard child." Agent Stanford answered.

Just like Charlie Rex, a name who will suspect that his origin is improper after knowing his origin, the descendants of a decent big family will not use "nickname" as an official name - just like the rich people on earth will not He named his beloved children and grandchildren Wang Daniu and Ma Xiaoming.

"But there's no evidence to prove that it's just an illegitimate child." Detective Stanford said cautiously, "The police officers in Lars City also ran away, leaving only a few errands and odd jobs. No one can prove it. "

At this moment, Captain Mace kind of hates the rigor of Stanford...

"Of course, considering that the other party's name is indeed too casual, and there is no middle name, this is against common sense for the descendants of the priests of the Holy Land." Agent Stanford said seriously, "In addition to this person's age and Art Wood's crown is too different, and he stays and works in a small town like Lars, so I think Sam should be the illegitimate son of Atwood's descendants."

The corner of Captain Mace's mouth twitched slightly.

Detective Stanford's personality is more rigorous, not unreasonable. Seeing Captain Mace so uncomfortable, he knew how to comfort him: "Don't worry, according to my observation, Mr. Yang's attitude towards the Gold Coin Church is very friendly. With a sincere request, I believe that Mr. Yang will agree to cover up the matter, at least not to publicize this person's surname."

Captain Mace: "..."

Not only did I not feel comforted, but I was also a little terrified...

"In any case, I have to thank you for telling me about this first." Captain Mace knew from Stanford's words that he hadn't informed Yang of this discovery, but he came to inform him first, and patted the other side's shoulder to express his acknowledgment Feeling strongly, he said, "Find out this person first."

The files of the Department of Public Security are not very detailed. The information that Stanford detectives found is just a record left by the Department of Public Security and the Night Watchman when they cooperated with the night watchman a few years ago.

The contact address of Sam Atwood, the administrative officer for the Night Watch Service, remains on the record.

Captain Mace left his subordinates to continue searching for this place, and rushed to the address on the file with Agent Stanford.

And then...the duo found an empty rental apartment.

The owner of the apartment building is a local aristocrat in Lars City, who has fled with the city lord.

The two brothers did not give up. They visited the apartment building and got a lot of information about Sam himself from the neighbors. They also went to the pubs, cheap restaurants, and laundry shops that Sam usually goes to.

After collecting a lot of information, the two returned to the City Hall to meet Yang Qiu who had just finished copying the City Lord's Mansion.

After listening to the clues the two brothers found, Yang Qiu nodded and said, "I have something here for you to see."

After saying that, he winked at Captain Donald who was standing beside him in a daze.

Lieutenant Donald numbly picked up the stationery on the table, clipped to the cardboard, and handed it to Stanford and Mace.

When the city lord fled, he destroyed all the written materials in his study as much as possible. This letter was dug out by the port guard from the bedside cabinet in the bedroom. Maybe it had been forgotten by the owner, so it fell into Yang Qiu's hands.

After reading the words on the letter paper, Captain Mace was stunned on the spot, and Agent Stanford's jaw dropped.

This is a letter from the capital of Takia, a nobleman of Creek City, to the Lord of Lars City.

In the letter, the word "sacrifice" was mentioned unabashedly.

The sacrificial ceremonies of the Orthodox sect do not use sacrifices.

"As the lord of the city, as a prominent nobleman of Takia... was actually bewitched by the cult?!" Captain Metz felt that the sky was about to collapse.

"Captain, you may have mistaken causality." Yang Qiu said calmly, "Look carefully at the content of the letter. It's not that you are a Taqiya nobleman but was bewitched by a cult, but you obtained the status of a nobleman by relying on the power of the cult."

Captain Mace turned his gaze back to the letter paper with trepidation.

The nobleman of Creek City who wrote this letter intended to ask for a "sacrifice" from Lord Lars.

Captain Mace felt that his innocence had collapsed.

"The Taqiya people suffered from the flames of war. During the War to Protect the Nation, Taqiya had a registered population of 300 million, and less than [-]% survived until the end of the war." Yang Qiu said in a calm, almost cruel tone, "The experience After going through such a hell on earth, the trust of the Taqiya people in the Gold Coin Church... I think it cannot be lowered."

"Dare to make verbal promises, and the non-orthodox sect that can indeed be more 'hardworking' and 'closer to the people' than the orthodox sect, takes advantage of the void and replaces Lady Gold Coin in people's minds. It is a matter of course. It is not difficult to understand that the so-called 'smart people' took advantage of the situation."

As long as it is profitable, there are always gamblers who risk their lives—there are not many people on the earth who use the name of cults to amass money and gain power, let alone this world!

Captain Metz felt a little unsteady, and reached out to support the back of the sofa next to him.

Even a person with the surname Atwood betrayed the church... Captain Mace really couldn't say no to the fact that the Tachia people turned their backs on Lady Gold Coin and turned to the evil god.

"Takia's problem is indeed more serious than we thought before. We must summon the undead to deal with the cult problem as soon as possible." Yang Qiu looked at the pale-faced Captain Metz and said, "To avoid misunderstandings by the church, Captain, I need You contact the Holy Land of the Gold Coin Church on your behalf, explaining our attitude and position."

Captain Mace was silent for a long time before nodding in resignation.

He was really on a thief ship this time - even if he knew that the other party was hunting rabbits, attacking cults, and at the same time eyeing the land of Tachia, he could only help by the side!
