The girl from the pirate group who came all the way back almost thought she had gone the wrong way.
"It's spring, right?"
When she walked to Austin, she stared blankly at the spectacular iceberg in front of her. She looked up and vaguely saw a loose iceberg a hundred meters in the air. She realized that it seemed to be about to fall, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back in horror.
The gentle middle-aged inspector on the side also came to the place. While speaking carefully, he raised his head and watched.
"There is no winter in the Port of Saint-Lun. No, there is no winter in the entire south of the Lettsman Mountains... Unnamed girl, if this is what your companion did, I'm afraid I have to confirm whether there are any other losses, maybe more Be more troublesome."
"It's okay, it's okay!" The curly-haired girl quickly agreed, then patted Austin on the shoulder and asked with a grimace, "First officer, what did you do again?"
Morgan knew the inspector, recognized his appearance, and knew that his name was Ella Berg.
This man is the son of Aunt Sera, the owner of the flower house in the town, and the general prosecutor of this entire area - his jurisdiction includes the towns of Babel, Apolls and Windsor, as well as the town where Pandora Market is located. Port St. Rom.
Although Port Saint-Lun is not in the center of the region, it is not only an economic hub, but also the place where the most incidents occur and the most conflicts need to be dealt with.
It's not surprising that the Chief Inspector is in the area, but it is very surprising to come with a little girl to handle things.
Needless to say, the chief prosecutor is also a person who has seen the world. He was not surprised by the hundreds of meters of ice sculpture for too long. After talking to the pirate girl, he began to evacuate the crowd, and explained the danger in a friendly manner, which also made everyone Most of the people who haven't quit so far have decided to leave.
Although the things on it look solid, and the free-falling ice actually does not fall directly on people's heads and only scatters fragments, but after all, the thickness of the ice sculpture is unknown, and it may be washed away by waves at any time, which may cause additional trouble.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mo Gan was also doing something.
He had opened a passage before, pretending to be concerned, but actually physically shielding Austin, who was still adjusting the potion's strength, so that he could pull away Lucifer without leaving a trace, and easily deal with the tsunami, but the king began to lose his mind due to the large number of people. Save the crowd.
Now the two stood aside. The king secluded himself and looked at the sea, while Mogan looked at the crowd.
It's not that Mogan wants to watch the fun like everyone else, but as a witness with evil intentions and a self-qualified citizen of the country, he can provide clues and want to obtain information. Staying where he is is naturally the best of both worlds.
The most important thing is that he will not be plotted in vain, even for those who work for the Kingdom of Cole.
No matter what, the Queen has provided a lot of support to the Mogan family over the years, and the two families also visit from time to time.
Even the three members of Grande's family, who live in the royal palace, can come and go freely with just one face. However, the queen, who has no children and treats her best friend's children as if they were her own, is basically equivalent to Mogan's half-godmother.
If someone from the Queen came directly to ask him if he could help, Mogan would be happy to do so even if he didn't take the initiative to mention the reward.
But coming uninvited and keeping Mogan, who likes to control the situation, in the dark is another matter.
——Although Mo Gan didn’t tell any relatives or friends about this trip, before he was accosted inexplicably, he didn’t think anyone would be targeting him in such a remote place.
At this time, Ellaberg saw that the people were almost gone and came nearby.
"Mr. Grande?" Ella Berg was stunned for a moment when he saw Morgan. "Why are you here too? It's very dangerous here."
When Mo Gan first went to the town of Windsor, he actually stayed in a hotel in the town. He relied on the information he got from Aunt Sela to purchase the property. The letters of introduction he went to apply for were all handwritten by Sela, so he asked Mo Gan directly. Gan found his son's men.
Inspector Ellaberg is also a relatively friendly type among the inspectors.
After finishing the matter, he even took time out of his busy schedule to find Mo Gan alone, thanking him for chatting with the old man from time to time, and they met him at this time.
"I am serving as a guide to the Kingdom of Cole for Mr. Yann Warren next to me." Morgan had already thought of a way to deal with it, pointing at Lucifer, who only left his back. "He is a traveler. , is also a mage and has the ability to protect himself - don’t worry.”
Although his real name has been revealed a long time ago, Mo Gan has not yet casually revealed his identity as a mage.
Hiding this ability and identity does not seem suspicious in the Cole Kingdom, it is basically a consensus.
In fact, his statement blurred the boundaries, and he did not make it clear whether he stayed here safely because the people around him were mage, or whether he was a mage himself.
Ella Berg didn't ask any more questions, nodded and went to find the next person.
After all the other questions that should be asked, Austin was the only one left.
The wound on Austin's hand had scabbed for some time, and he was still panting. From the sidelines, he saw a man wearing an inspector's uniform walking over. He forcibly straightened his back to regain his dignity, and then lowered his voice, He spoke coldly.
"Are you the local inspector? I want to report a crime."
Although he has basically returned to normal, his hands are still covered with clotted plasma. Although the blood vessels under his eyes are not so obvious, his face is still pale, and blood streaks can still be seen faintly in the whites of his eyes.
In this state, combined with his usual fierce expression, compared to "I want to report a crime", these words sound like "I want to surrender", or even "I want to commit a crime".
"The fire gold stone was stolen? Your companion girl has already made it clear. I sent people to follow them to get the things, and also asked the people from the Mage Association to conduct self-examination first. You can rest assured that I will not be biased."
Inspector Ellaburg was not in a hurry. It was probably because the pirate girl had given him a lot of psychological preparation along the way, explaining how violent his companion's character was, but this was his nature and there was nothing he could do to prepare him for it now.
"More than that." Austin heard the conversation just now and knew that he had to explain the current situation clearly. "About the tsunami... The current ice sculpture was indeed made by me at the beginning because someone drugged me. .”
The curly-haired girl was shocked. "You just eat what others prepare?"
"It's not food, it's water."
At this point, Austin frowned and looked around, as if he thought of something because of what he just said, and now he is looking for someone to investigate the formation of the ice sculpture. But to no avail, he also clearly understood the priorities and explained the situation to Ella Berg first.
"The fragments on the table are the fragments of the cup. You can find a mage who knows about potions and you will know the situation... Tsk, mage."
Logically speaking, there would be people from the Mage Association next to him, but Inspector Ellaberg asked around and only one of them knew something about it.
But this is considered normal.
Mages generally have a clear learning orientation and division of labor. Mages who focus on potions basically don't have much energy to learn offensive spells. The local mages' association came here today to raise an army to prosecute, so naturally they wouldn't bring along members who didn't know how to fight.
But next door is Pandora Market, so there will be no shortage of talents in this field.
Just when Inspector Ellaberg was about to look for someone nearby, he heard a sound coming from the seaside.
"Maybe Adam's Potion."
With Ella Berg, the crowd has almost dispersed, leaving only a few passers-by, inspectors and subordinates, as well as people involved in the pirate group and the mage association. The density is not that high, and Lucifer's condition is much more normal.
This time it was Mo Gan who stood nearby, watching with interest.
The big boss is checking the situation in person. Others don't know, but his mood is quite subtle, and he wants to learn from it more or less.
When he gave Lucifer a false name just now, he also realized that his eldest brother's identity as a mage would be hidden sooner or later because of the terrifying Ice Age, so he might as well use it as a reason to stay.
But I didn't expect it to be so early.
Lucifer walked to the white stone table and stood where he was sitting just now. He leaned forward slightly, dipped his little finger into some of the water that leaked from Austin's crushed cup before, and took a slight sniff.
"Indeed, it's the same as my guess. This potion is derived from the Adam's Fruit, and its properties can trigger the deepest primitive desires in people's hearts. It should have the same effect on the sharks. The Adam's potion was originally dark red in color and smelled It’s strong, but if paired with a sufficient amount of caravel flower nectar, it can absorb all the color and smell, returning the liquid to basically the form and texture of white water.”
To prove it, he stretched out his hand and chanted softly, and the liquid on his fingertips was infused with magical power.
The art of refining.
But this time, Lucifer used a more direct method of chanting spells, probably to conceal his power above that of an archmage.
Mo Gan looked at this action and listened to this wording, and suddenly realized that although His Majesty the King was outrageous at times, at least he was pretty good at pretending now.
Not only was it a redundant chant, but the place where he was just now was very close to where Austin threw the cup. There was plenty of opportunity to check in advance. Obviously, the first sentence was not a guess, but was only verified now.
In just a few seconds, the little drop of water on Lucifer's hand was separated into two places. One place is a colorless and transparent droplet, the other is a deep red rolling dark liquid, which is completely divided into two places under the control of his fingertips.
Seeing this refining result, Lucifer seemed a little surprised and immediately turned to look at Shark Austin.
"The degree of concentration is very high. Being able to quickly limit the loss of control with this dose of magic potion, even if there is a reason why the power has been withdrawn by the ocean, is enough to show your strong personal ability."
After being affirmed by His Majesty the King, Austin snorted and said, "Thank you."
"Then I will send someone to look for clues about the sale of potions?"
Ella Berg also saw that this strange traveler seemed to have a clear understanding of this analysis, which should be of great help.
Morgan sighed and started to appear from here.
"Adam's fruit and caravel nectar are extremely rare and precious materials, and their sales are not popular due to their limited use. Such things are rarely seen in market stalls. Most of them are private collections, and they are also sold in information At a confidential auction.”
Anyway, they are all involved, Lucifer can't leave, and he can't escape, so let's use our strengths.
To him, there was one complicated message.
——According to the materials analyzed by Lucifer, the total price of the water Austin drank or spilled should be more than fifty gold coins, even without the labor cost of having the mage mix it.
