Exposed to the reddish sunlight and intermittent strong vision areas, the streets here look slightly cleaner than those in the East End. Although you can still occasionally see phlegm stains and garbage, it is better than having these things mixed in the mud and unable to avoid stepping on them.
Nese arrived at the gate of Ungoro's temporary residence.
The Japanese-helmeted soldiers at the door were driving a little boy in rags out, and both sides were yelling at each other.
A soldier picked up the back of the boy's clothes and lifted him up like a squid. The boy roared like crazy, grabbed his hands in the air, and kept waving.
Nesse stopped both parties from doing so.
After some questioning, I found out that the little boy was actually a survivor of the orphanage fire. He slept in a corner by the window. When the orphanage was on the verge of collapse due to a fire, the window happened to be shattered and he escaped by jumping out of the window.
Un'Goro has been offering rewards for information about the three disasters. The little boy saw the reward and wanted to exchange information about the orphanage fire, but he was not taken seriously by these soldiers.
"You can tell me everything."
Nesse knew that the opportunity was precious, so he took the little boy away from the sight of the sun-helmeted soldiers, shook his Solid Strike at him, and put a silver coin in his hand - the money bag was found on the bedside this morning. Yes, it is proof of some kind of reconciliation with Winnie——
That must be it, it's best not to have other meanings.
The boy looked at the coin, then at the picket hammer, and immediately revealed all the information.
Aunt Dorenza did go crazy. She rushed the children to bed with a big broom, blocked the doors and windows, and set the orphanage on fire. The reason for her madness was very strange - she discovered a crack in the corner of the wall.
"What crack?" Nese asked.
"Recently, a lot of cracks have grown in the corners of the wall and extended to other places. There are also cracks in the dining room and under my bed." The little boy just replied, "Mommy used condensation potion to seal the cracks. But that day when she inspected the house, there were another cracks. I found so many new cracks that I went crazy."
Nese wondered if the cracks were ordinary cracks.
Some environmental curses are no different from ordinary stains and rust when they first spread, but the little boy obviously doesn't understand these.
The little boy insisted that the cracks had no special smell, shape, or strange bulges, and they were definitely not his hallucinations. "I even touched them when I was playing in the corner, so the wall is cracked!"
Of course, this fact remains in doubt.
However, the orphanage has been reduced to ashes after all, and there is no way to know it even if you go to the original location. It is obviously unwise to risk using the Mirror of the Past here just for this matter.
We can only assume that this is the case.
Aunt Doranza is also a spell caster, and a place like the orphanage should also have special spell protection, otherwise it would not be able to survive for so long in the dangerous Semoland. Since Aunt Doronza did not mention other possibilities, we can only temporarily assume that other possibilities do not exist.
But as a result, things become more complicated and confusing.
It would be even more strange if Aunt Doranza went crazy after seeing ordinary cracks. It is normal that the orphanage building is old and on the verge of collapse and in urgent need of repairs. Why should children be buried with such an ordinary contradiction?
Nese asked the little boy if there was anything else that seemed strange to him recently. The boy shook his head repeatedly and clutched the silver coins tightly, unable to say anything.
He simply asked directly: "Have you heard of the name Featherless One?"
Unexpectedly, the boy covered his ears and kept saying "I won't listen" as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
He wanted to ask again, but the boy first took two steps back, then turned around and ran away.
Do you want to chase?
After hesitating for a moment, he lost sight of the boy and went to find Angoro as planned.
With doubts in mind, Nese came to Ungoro's office again.
Winnie still didn't show up. There was no way she couldn't find him, maybe she just didn't want to come at the moment.
Although it was daytime, the number of guards in this mansion had not decreased. Angelo was in his original office, glancing at a page of documents with an erratic expression.
Seeing Nese come in, his eyes fell on the black broken sword mark on the back of his hand, and he became polite. He did not tie Nese up for interrogation like last time, but only raised an eyebrow and sneered:
"It's you. Are you ready for the ceremony the day after tomorrow?"
"not yet."
There was no time in today's schedule to arrange a visit to the Church of Destruction, and Nesse was not as anxious as before.
For some reason, he felt like it wasn't that important anymore. "There is a child outside the orphanage who survived the fire. He has information and is looking for you to receive the reward. Your soldiers refused to let him in and beat him, so I let him go."
"Is it about Nese the Lightless?" Un'Goro didn't seem very interested.
"no."
Nesse looked at him.
After taking Ameses V into consideration, Angolo's suspicion was reduced a lot. Does this stupid and bad guy really think that all this is the work of the so-called "Lightless One Nese"?
"Aunt Doranza went crazy because the building of the orphanage cracked..."
"Pooh."
Angoro interrupted him with a spat, "You're just a brat who wants to cheat money. This kind of smart guy will get as much as you want every time he has something to do. Do they think that the old woman can do whatever it takes to get rid of the wrinkles on her belly?" Selling for money?”
"This has nothing to do with the belly folds. I talked to him." Nese said calmly.
He was in a very good mood, which nothing Angelo could do could destroy. "He did say that the cracks in the wall were the reason why Doranza went crazy. Don't you care about this?"
"I have to worry about everything. I'm exhausted."
Angoro glanced at him sideways and showed a strange smile, "Don't you know, I am now the 'housekeeper' of Xermoran."
"What's the meaning?"
"Shh..."
Angolo showed a mysterious look, "No one else knows about this yet. But since you happened to be here, I think it is necessary to share it with you."
"What does it have to do with me?"
"Personally, no. As for business, it has a lot to do with you. After all, you are our clerk."
Angoro smiled. "In addition to what you said before, you can consider this matter. This is not a meritorious service to Master Ufa Ufa, but a meritorious service to me. It is also very useful."
"Just tell me."
"This is the new announcement I drafted today. It's right above. If you accept this commission, we'll get 30% to 70% of the reward you win, hehe. I won't post it publicly so that no one will disturb you in making money."
Angolo handed over the page of documents, "How is it?"
Nese didn't care in her heart. She just waited for Angolo's sudden work to be dealt with before turning to the main topic.
As soon as he glanced at it, he was secretly shocked by the content on it.
It's a wanted notice.
The face painted above, with its pointed ears, lowered brows, thin and small lips, and cold and violent expression, is definitely that of Winnie.
