"Here are some information from the breeder. Due to time constraints, the content is a bit messy, but with Princess Sigrid's extraordinary knowledge reserve, she should be able to understand it."
After packing up the information, Dean handed it to Ryan across the desk and asked curiously: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"The leader said that as a female, the princess may be more interested in selective breeding, so he asked me to get some information from you first, and then I can send it directly to the princess..."
Ryan fiddled with the information and recited the lines he had prepared before with wandering eyes.
This is actually one of the reasons.
But what played a decisive role was the fact that Lensak had someone secretly find out about the princess's specific reaction after seeing the letter.
After careful analysis by the two lieutenants, Sigrid's interest in breeders far exceeded her interest in other new professions, so they temporarily changed the main content of the second letter and decided to take Dean's hand This information was sent as a trump card in order to capture Princess Sigrid's heart in one fell swoop and drag her to Area 13.
As soon as Dean saw the knight's coy look, he knew there was something hidden inside. He didn't ask any more questions. He prepared the things related to breeding and pushed them in front of Ryan.
"I estimate that the Knights should have prepared some basic information related to the breeding house, so in order to prevent duplication, I have not compiled some public information, but this pile should be enough. If So much information still fails to achieve the purpose, then there is nothing I can do.”
That only shows that Princess Sigrid is not as interested in selective breeding as she seems.
Of course, the words cannot be too absolute. Dean thought for a while and added, "If the Knights have other needs in the future, they can come to me again."
For the sake of the equipment, Dean's attitude this time was very positive. Except for information involving core secrets and speculations that have not yet been verified, most of the information was handed over to Ryan, including even the information he and his apprentices made. I filled a bag full of illustration cards, which is definitely a sign of sincerity.
Ryan accepted it happily, and after praising Dean's attitude of actively contributing to all the residents of District 13, he picked up his things and prepared to leave.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Dean hesitated for a moment, but decided to take this opportunity to solve his doubts.
He stopped Ryan and said, "Actually, I still have a question... has there been any result about Morrison's matter?"
At the mention of this name, Ryan's face became obviously serious. He shook his head, and his mood instantly became much heavier.
"The regiment leader sent people to search in Area 13. On the night when you held the qualifying competition, the knights took advantage of the chaos and conducted door-to-door searches, but no trace of him was found."
"The current judgment is that Morrison may have left District 13."
Dean quickly caught the key word, "Is it possible? In other words, besides leaving, does he have anywhere else to go?"
Ryan nodded, "In Morrison's house, we found a large number of magic props of unknown origin. Some of them were made back to the previous era."
"It is basically impossible for him to obtain these things through normal channels, and within the Bloodborne Warlock organization, there is a high probability that they will not provide such suspicious magic items to people like him who are lurking in the Knights."
"In order to verify this inference, the investigators specifically checked all the Bloodborne Warlock's strongholds in Area 13, including those buildings that had been damaged, and tested them with special props. As a result, they did not find any similar magic props."
"Of course, it's possible that they transferred it. After all, this type of magic prop is expensive. In the eyes of some people, it may even be much more expensive than human life."
"But afterwards we checked the reconnaissance array in Area 13, and there was no sign of any entry or exit of dangerous items."
"Spatial transfer is even more impossible. In that case, it is simply impossible to transfer these things."
"Then the origin of these things is very suspicious."
"So we judge that Morrison probably carried out a long-term personal action without the consent of the Bloodborne Warlock organization."
"And these props are the result of his personal activities."
Dean didn't expect that after the long series of analysis above, he would come to such a simple conclusion. He looked at the upright knight with suspicion, always feeling that he was fooling him.
"Morrison abandoned his companions and ran away alone. Doesn't that prove that he has betrayed the organization?"
Isn't it personal enough for a person to run away for his life?
Ryan shook his head, "It's different. He may have received an order from a higher level to run away alone and act with the primary goal of protecting himself. In this case, he did show some value and got some people." With appreciation, it is possible.”
"And if he escaped alone with permission, it cannot be evidence that he has betrayed the Bloodborne Warlock organization."
"However, according to the current investigation results, although Morrison's current relationship with the Bloodborne Warlock organization cannot be determined, he does have other secrets. Many of his previous actions were purely personal. Will.”
"So we may need to separate the organizations of Morrison and the Bloodborne Warlocks to a certain extent."
Dean felt that he was not suitable for this kind of overly rigorous information analysis work. His mind was full of routines, and he would always subconsciously substitute some plots for Morrison, and then draw some arbitrary conclusions.
So he chose to skip the analysis process.
"Have you investigated the source of those things?"
Speaking of this issue, Ryan's expression suddenly became subtle.
He sat back down and faced Dean with an expression ready to talk.
"This...actually does not require investigation."
"Because District 13 is the only place where that kind of stuff is produced in large quantities."
Ryan pointed to the ground and said bluntly: "This is the underground ruins under our feet."
"remains?"
Dean glanced at the floor in surprise.
"Are there any ruins in Area 13?"
Even Dean, who has not set foot in the extraordinary world, knows that ruins are special buildings left over from the previous era for various reasons.
These buildings are usually filled with a large number of traps, treasures, inheritance, etc., and are the main channels through which the light of civilization from the old era can still bloom in the new era.
Ruins are often called a paradise for adventurers. If you are lucky, you can go in and become a legend overnight. However, if you are unlucky, you may lose your life or even lose your body.
However, those legendary and glorious experiences are always more eye-catching than the real bloodshed behind them.
Compared with those unlucky guys who lost their lives in the ruins, people are more concerned about who has benefited from the ruins and has a smooth life from now on.
In the ruins, there are countless examples of such lucky people, tempting countless people to come and risk their lives.
It is also because of this that as long as there are ruins, adventurers will swarm in like sharks smelling the smell of blood. It is basically impossible for any large ruins to escape their noses.
But in this case, a ruins that Dean had never heard of appeared, and it was located in a special place called District 13...
He couldn't help but repeat, "I have never heard of any ruins in District 13."
Lane explained: "It's normal that you haven't heard of it, because this news has always been blocked from ordinary people, especially ordinary people who are not professionals."
"Although many people have found treasures that can change their destiny from the ruins, including our ancestors, they also found the power to resist the monsters through the ruins, allowing us to survive to this day. But this kind of thing is like a double-edged sword , as much good as it can bring, it can bring as much evil as it can.”
"This evil does not only refer to the wars and struggles it brings, but more importantly, the invisible dangers and conspiracies lurking inside."
When the word "conspiracy" was mentioned, Dean noticed that Ryan was cryptic, as if he was reminiscing about something.
He wanted to ask in detail about the story behind it, but his intuition told him that it was better not to interrupt at this time.
After a pause, Ryan continued: "Especially the one under our feet. Among all the unearthed ruins, it belongs to the most dangerous category."
"During the first round of exploration, the knights suffered heavy losses, and almost few of them came back with all their beards and tails."
"Because the loss was too great, and some secrets were discovered from inside, the previous emperor, John Paul II, issued a ban and did not allow anyone to have any idea of this relic. At the same time, under his auspices, it was also destroyed There are many records about this ruins.”
"It is also because there are no relevant records, so we younger knights have mostly heard about this ruins and have no personal experience."
"But what is certain is that it is definitely not the remnants of the old era, but a decayed creature, full of malice towards the new life that is thriving on this land."
It sounds scary, but...
Dean frowned, feeling that things were not that simple, "It's impossible that Morrison doesn't know how dangerous a place like this is, so why would he go in just for those props?"
But if you really value it that much, you won’t keep a lot of it in the house, right?
Ryan shrugged, not quite understanding Morrison's thoughts.
"Maybe it's because of that legend. I remember it seemed to be spread a few years ago, saying that there are secrets about 'gods' in the ruins, so it provoked a lot of people. In the end, the leader showed his power and calmed down the situation. .”
"I don't know how anyone can believe this kind of thing. It's just a legend, and no one has found it. Who can verify whether this rumor is true or false?"
The secret of 'God'...
Dean suppressed his chaotic thoughts and continued following the topic, "Since it has been blocked, how did Morrison get in?"
"have no idea."
This is an issue the Knights are currently investigating.
"It cannot be ruled out that it was a coincidence that I obtained some props related to opening the ruins that were circulated during the exploration boom."
Recalling several previous infiltration incidents in which he was caught red-handed, Ryan said with a headache: "There are quite a few such things, and it is quite difficult to check them out."
"But no matter how Morrison got in, the result is that he has already gone in and got a lot of things, which are quite troublesome even for us."
"Because of this incident, the wanted order for Morrison has been raised to a large level, and the level of concern within the Knights about this matter has also been rising. Now, whenever there is trace of him, they will act immediately."
Dean nodded and started thinking about it.
"The ruins are in Area 13. He shouldn't leave here easily."
"After our internal discussion, we felt the same way... Unfortunately, no matter how hard we searched, there was no news about him, and we don't know where this kid went."
After saying that, Ryan stood up and prepared to leave.
Dean sent the person to the door and suddenly thought of another thing.
"One more question, where did Morrison get the news about the siege?"
"The timing of his escape was too coincidental. He happened to be stuck at the point where the qualifying competition was about to start. It can't be an accident."
Looking at Dean's exploratory expression, Ryan sighed and explained: "This matter is actually not suitable for discussion behind the scenes..."
"But you are considered half a party, so I will tell you."
"One of the insiders of this plan is an old knight who has worked in the Knights for many years. This old knight is named Dawson. Knight Dawson has a daughter who was fostered by him because he was busy with tasks and had no time to take care of her. I stayed with my relatives and didn’t return to District 13 until I was old enough to get married.”
"Knight Dawson originally wanted to choose a well-informed young knight for her as her future partner, but he didn't know that this girl already had a sweetheart when she was at a relative's house, and the two have children..."
"Knight Dawson is a very disciplined person. If he knew this news, the consequences would be disastrous. With this idea in mind, his daughter never dared to tell him about this matter. Who knew that Morrison would find out about it. "
"He used this incident as a threat to ask the girl to help him get information from Dawson Knight. This line had never been used until this time, and it came in handy the most."
"It's sad to say that Knight Dawson's daughter originally wanted to hide the news, but because of this incident, not only did it all come out, but now she has to be interrogated repeatedly, and she is also physically and mentally exhausted."
"My father was dismissed from his post again..."
Sighing, Ryan carried large and small bags of information and left the breeding room.
