Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 64: Get the map clear first, then find a way to kill him

"And one more thing."

Alger said in a deep voice, "I received intelligence that one of the seven pirate generals, Vice Admiral Hurricane Qi Lingos, secretly went ashore and sneaked into Backlund. I don't know what he wants to do. So I hope you can help investigate his whereabouts, of course..."

Alger paused and looked at Yu Jin with some hesitation. "If you have the ability to contact him and investigate his purpose, that would be best. But if you don't have enough strength, it's best not to contact him rashly."

Miss Justice turned her gaze towards the embers.

It was obvious that the first half of the speech was addressed to them, but the second half was addressed to Ember.

After all, Miss Justice, who had only been a viewer for a month, obviously did not have enough strength to complete these tasks.

"Qilingus."

Yu Jin hesitated for two seconds and asked, "What sequence is he in?"

"Sequence 6 of the Sailor's Path, 'Wind Blesser'."

Alger seemed to have expected him to ask this question, and immediately said, "Although Qilingos is only Sequence 6, he possesses a very powerful magical item. People who know about it call it Creeping Hunger."

"As a side effect of using this magical item, Qilingos must satisfy it with the soul and flesh of a living person every other day, otherwise it will take its own master instead."

"But at the same time, Qilingos has other more powerful abilities with this magical item. He can enter other people's dreams, summon light to purify the dead, strengthen himself with singing, and change into different people's appearances. He is almost omnipotent."

Alger described the abilities of the magical item in great detail, paused, and then said, "We suspect that these are all caused by the magical item, Creeping Hunger."

Alger stared at the embers intently.

Because he knew very well that among all the people present, the only one who had the greatest hope of helping him investigate the matter was Yu Jin.

He couldn't invite Mr. Fool, and Miss Justice was obviously a noble lady, and she had just become a Beyonder for less than two months.

You probably can't count on her.

And the 'sun', which we don't even know where it comes from, is of even less help.

"shepherd?"

Derrick, the Sun, who was considered by Alger to be of no help and who also felt that he was of no help and was listening quietly, blurted out in astonishment.

"shepherd?"

Everyone's eyes instantly turned to the Sun, which made Derrick a little flustered. He stuttered as he explained that the creeping hunger described by Alger was very similar to the ability of Sequence 5 Shepherd of the Secret Prayer Path.

"I see."

Alger showed a look of understanding, and he said he seemed to have heard this name somewhere.

Then he turned his slightly expectant gaze towards the embers.

"can."

Yu Jin thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "I am quite interested in that magical item."

"I can provide his portrait."

Alger breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately spoke.

Although he also knew that the portrait he provided was probably useless.

After all, since Qi Lingos can change his appearance, he naturally won't use his original appearance.

But something is better than nothing.

finally.

With the sound of Mr. Fool tapping the table, the Tarot Club came to a successful conclusion.

……

Backlund, Queens, in the Hall family's luxurious villa.

In Audrey's boudoir on the second floor near the end of the corridor, a man and a woman opened their eyes almost at the same time.

"Do you have anything to ask?"

Yu Jin changed his position to make himself more comfortable leaning on the sofa, looked at the girl on the bed who was giving him a complicated look, and took the initiative to speak.

When they were above the gray fog, Yu Jin could see that Audrey was hesitant to talk, but she obviously didn't want to discuss this in front of others.

"I..." Audrey hesitated for a long time, then parted her red lips and whispered, "Capin, is he really related to the royal family?"

"Yes."

Yu Jin nodded slightly. "It was MI9 that was in contact with Kapin, but I think you should know who is behind MI9."

Audrey fell silent.

Everyone knows that MI9 is ​​the royal family's secret intelligence agency.

Without the royal family's approval, how could they dare to cooperate with a human trafficker so openly?
This is something that is obvious.

Although Yu Jin's words were light, they undoubtedly shattered the girl's image of the royal family.

just.

What she is most worried about now is not the royal family, after all, that is too far away.

What she was worried about was the nobles...

"The nobles should not be involved."

Yu Jin saw the girl's worry and took the initiative to speak, "The relationship between the royal family and the nobles is far from as close as you think. And based on the information I have now. Even within the royal family, this matter is an absolute secret. Only a very small number of people know the inside story, but Earl Hall is obviously not one of them."

"Is that so?"

Audrey couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although she didn't know how Yu Jin analyzed all this, she still chose to believe Yu Jin.

As long as her father is not involved, this matter has nothing to do with her.

"Do you need my help investigating?"

Audrey sat on the edge of the bed, regained her composure as a spectator, and asked.

"unnecessary."

Yu Jin shook his head slightly, paused and said, "However, you can try to help me investigate the topographic map of the palace. Well, it would be best if you could find out specifically which bedroom the king lives in."

For the embers.

It would be great if we could find out the true identity of the 'Black Emperor' step by step.

But you have to be prepared for everything.

It is also necessary to familiarize yourself with the terrain of the palace in advance.

"if it is like this."

Audrey blinked, "Do you want to go to the palace yourself?"

"Ok?"

Yu Jin raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Audrey in surprise.

"New Year's Eve party."

Audrey explained, and seeing that Yu Jin still didn't understand, she said helplessly, "Once a noble woman turns 18, she can officially enter social occasions under the guidance of the queen and declare herself an adult. This is usually done at the New Year's Eve party on the last day of the year. According to tradition, the New Year's Eve party is always held in the palace."

"so……"

Audrey paused, a sly look flashing in her eyes, "If you want, I can also invite you to the New Year's Eve party."

"That's it."

Ember stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "Then I probably don't need your invitation."

"Ok?"

"Although I am just a fallen noble from the border, I am still a viscount after all. I am still qualified to attend the New Year's Eve party, right?"

Facing the girl's questioning gaze, Yu Jin shrugged and said casually.

Ever since.

In the two hours until dinner, Audrey had been sulking and not giving him a good look.
