Soon, a thick book with a kraft paper cover was delivered to Wang.
He held the book in both hands and started flipping through it.
Xiaobai also wanted to see what was written on it, so he stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck.
Noticing her movements, Wang read out the above content:
"Today is the Festival of Winter Veil, and the goblin caught the first wild cat. I couldn't wait to start the ceremony, but I didn't observe the power of the Mother of Life penetrate into the world, and the wild cat died very ordinary. Oh, how could this happen.
"There were more wild cats caught today, and there was also a dog. The dog was very unlovable and even bit me. But after the dog saw what I did to the cat, it started to purr when I got close. It screamed and lay down obediently. I showed it the bite wound just now, and it curled up inside the cage out of fear.
"More wild cats and wild dogs were brought in today. I dealt with them all, and found that some had slight internal changes. I think this should be proof that the power of the Mother of Life has penetrated into this world..."
Xiaobai stood nearby and listened very carefully at first, but soon she started to yawn. Ten minutes later, she finally shouted: "Stop reading! Can you summarize it!"
"To summarize, this person caught the cats and dogs, performed the ritual, and then dissected them to see if the cats and dogs were affected by the power of the mother of life. The impact was very small at first, but then the impact gradually became larger."
Xiaobai: "In short, he is the mastermind behind this incident, right? We will burn down the laboratory and everything will be settled!"
Wang: "That's wrong. His diary didn't mention where the knowledge about the Mother of Life came from. He couldn't have known this since he was born, right? There must be a research record or diary that can explain where he got it. This knowledge.”
"But the goblins didn't find it." Xiaobai pointed at the goblins who had already searched the entire laboratory and stopped moving to wait for the next instruction.
Wang: "Use a detection trap. If it is an important record, a trap may be used to protect it."
"Oh, okay." Xiaobai agreed and then realized, "Oh, that's not right, why did you order me around so naturally?"
"Huh? Oh, please use the detection trap."
"Is this a question of adding the word "please"? We haven't confirmed this level of command relationship, have we?"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Xiaobai: "I think you are right, I should use a detection trap."
The druid then closed his eyes and began to cast spells.
The moment the spell was cast, a breeze circulated in the laboratory. The werewolf girl opened her eyes and pointed to the corner: "There is a simple trap over there. It should be mechanical."
King: "It's a mechanical trap, so you don't have to worry about it burning the contents. Goblin Scout! Go!"
A goblin scout sneakily approached the place pointed out by Xiao Bai, quickly discovered the trap, and completed the dismantling. With a click, a hidden compartment opened, and inside was a thin record.
Wang took it out and opened it and read: "The Mother of Life is the real God, and Lancelot, the Lord of Life, is just a false god. Otherwise, it cannot explain why there are so many illnesses and deaths in the world."
Xiaobai frowned: "What nonsense is this? The cycle of life and death is a natural principle. Without death, there is no life."
Wang turned his head and looked at the little one in surprise: "Are you still a warrior monk? Isn't this their theory of the harmony of yin and yang?"
"That theory was naturally derived from observation. It's normal for them to be similar. By the way, you also said that I am a monk. Your name is just like a monk. They are both oriental names."
Wang did not answer, and continued to look down at the thin booklet. After reading it, he said: "This still cannot explain where Erwin got the knowledge about the Mother of Life."
Xiaobai: "Is this important?"
"It's very important. If Erwin discovered this through his own research through ancient books or other means, it means that he is the source. If someone else taught him, then there is someone behind the scenes.
"In this current situation, I think it's more like the mastermind behind it restricted Erwin through some kind of spell or prohibition contract, preventing him from leaving useful information."
Xiaobai's ears perked up: "So this matter isn't over yet, right?"
"I feel so. But at present we can't find any point that can advance the investigation. The clues are broken here." The mage frowned, pacing in the huge laboratory, looking back and forth.
Suddenly, he found a photo frame on Erwin's desk.
He picked up the frame and found a pencil drawing of a dilapidated church inside.
Xiaobai also came over and stretched his neck to look at the photo frame: "A broken house?"
Wang: "A church. Maybe we can find a scholar who is familiar with the architectural styles of various places and ask him to identify the architectural style of this."
"You're so smart, can't you tell? You're so smart." The werewolf girl blinked.
Wang shook his head: "I can't. I'm not familiar with architectural styles. I can say a few words about the culture of various places, but the architecture is really confusing."
Xiaobai: "Maybe you can ask a bard first. They travel all over the country and have a lot of knowledge."
Wang: "Yes, go to the bard first and ask. If that doesn't work, go to Monrovia and find the Royal Institute of Architects. If that doesn't work, continue south to the Thorn Islands, where merchants gather. Seven Successful sea routes converge there, and most importantly, there is the Gnomish Society of Explorers.
"Gnomes have a wide range of interests and like to collect knowledge. Some of them must be able to recognize the style of this building. Erwin cherishes this picture so much, it must have a special meaning."
Xiaobai looked at Wang in confusion: "Where are you talking about?"
"You don't know? Since you are also traveling, you should bring a map with you, right?"
"No. I left the tribe because the elders told me after a divination that I should leave the tribe to find my own luck so that I could get a chance to get closer to nature. Then I set out with a roll of meat. But the meat was gone. It was eaten in a few days, and then I kept chasing the prey and eating all the way to the city.”
The druid put his hands behind his head to form a void pillow: "I have no idea how to get back to the tribe. I don't know the way either!"
king:"……"
Xiaobai: "In short, do you want to continue to pursue this incident? Let me ask first, is there any meat to eat on the road?"
Wang: "There should be. Our sponsor is the princess of this duchy - now the lord's sister. We shouldn't have to worry about supplies or anything like that."
Xiao Bai wagged his tail like a dog: "Then can I join? The task given to me by Lu Ye is to track down until the truth comes out."
The king stared at the werewolf for a few seconds: "Okay. But there are dwarves in our team. Although they are not the type like gray dwarves who like to destroy the environment, ordinary dwarves can also build tall steel furnaces, cut down trees to burn charcoal, and make A lot of thick smoke pollutes the environment.”
Xiaobai: "Are you saying that this dwarf stinks like a stinking ditch?"
The king looked at the wolf girl and felt that he could already imagine the scene where she would quarrel or even fight with the dwarf in the future.
He shrugged: "My teacher said that the conflicts among companions during adventures are also one of the joys of adventure."
Xiaobai: "What do you mean? Adventure companions should eat each other, right?"
Wang: “That is to say, people with different viewpoints work together to make progress together.”
"Why are you talking like the tribal elders and the great elder of Luye?" Xiaobai frowned, "Just say whether I can join or not."
"Of course you can. In fact, I hope you will join. For this incident, it would be better to have a druid who can communicate with nature in the team. Besides, you also have an invincible nose. We may need you to track down many times. odor."
Xiaobai was very proud, with his hands on his hips, but he suddenly realized: "Are you beating around the bush and calling me a dog?"
"Don't be so sensitive. I didn't mean that. I was simply saying that you can replace the hound."
"I'll bite you! I'm a wolf!"
Wang continued: "What we have to do now is to let the goblins guard the laboratory. Then go back and report quickly, and then bring Marika over."
"Who is Marika?" Xiaobai was attracted by new things again, forgetting the anger just now.
"The rogue on our team is very powerful. She should be able to plow this laboratory thoroughly. Now we are not good at searching, so we can only get so many clues."
As soon as Wang finished speaking, Xiaobai asked again: "Who else is there in your team?"
"And a cat ranger."
"Cat person! Is she furry?" Xiaobai asked curiously, wagging his tail.
"Yes. And then we have the savages."
"What is that? Is it different from humans?"
"He is taller," Wang gestured, "and can enter a state of rage through a war cry. Finally, we also have a warlock, who is the sister of Duke Langdon. She..."
The Master considered his words for a moment before saying, "It's beautiful and delicious."
Xiaobai: "How do you know she's delicious? Have you ever eaten it? You look so gentle, but you're actually a cannibal!"
Wang was embarrassed: "It's not that she tastes good, it's a metaphor."
"Is she delicious?" Xiaobai wiped his saliva, "Does she look fatter?"
"indeed……"
"You don't want to grill it and eat it! The fat will sizzle while grilling~"
Wang: "Stop! You're totally messed up! I mean, my body wants to mate with her!"
"I understand," Xiaobai clapped his hands, "You are in heat!"
Wang: "Yes, that's what happened. But my soul has no desire for her."
Xiaobai came over, smelled the mage, and nodded: "I smell it. In short, there is a warlock who is so beautiful that you can't stand it. Then this warlock must be very powerful."
Wang: "General."
noob:?
