Wizard: Surviving in the Steam Age with Points for Demon Hunter

Chapter 83 Again? ?
What do they mean, the main messenger is the Black Pearl?

Wei En felt that things would not be that simple. If the Black Pearl was really going to plunder the Seres family, it would not send only two captains here.

"I have a few questions."

Lacey motioned, "Huh? Tell me."

Wei En played with the gold pound and asked, "Why didn't we continue to pursue it just now?"

As long as we continue to pursue it, or wait until the person in charge of the Seres family comes back, I believe we will be able to figure out the purpose of the Vazquezes.

Marco hurriedly said: "There are two reasons. A case involving nobles like this is the responsibility of the Noble Committee. Intervening in it will cause big trouble for the Secret Investigator."

"Secondly, Lacey and I have both lost our strength and cannot fight in a short period of time. If we encounter danger again, we may have to stay there."

Lacey hummed, agreeing with his answer, "And this is just a commission. It does not involve aberrants or cult believers. There is really no need to involve them."

"What about the back?"

"Let's wait for the decision from above. If necessary, they will naturally take some measures."

So that's the case.

It seems that on Custer's side, the Secret Service Department is in a somewhat awkward position.

The Church, the Parliament, the Council of Nobles... Apart from being able to talk to the City Guards, it seems that other powers are not interested in the Secret Investigator?
I don’t know if it’s because of Director Alais or something else...

Wei En understood, and continued to ask: "Second question, is Vazquez the same people that Ariana said before?"

"Well, that's them."

"The family was wiped out by Chatland 20 years ago?"

Lacey and Marco looked at each other, were silent for a moment and said: "Wayne, actually that period of history is not glorious. In our opinion..."

Twenty years ago, the Basques had a unified homeland - the Republic of the Basques, located just east of the Kingdom of Chatland.

At that time, the two countries got along fairly well. Chatelin bought food from Vazquez, and Vazquez needed special products from Chatland by sea.

Especially the neighboring city-states of the two countries, because they are far away from other city-states in the country, they will help each other when encountering major changes...

However, all of this was shattered when the Chateland royal family formed the Eastern Expedition Corps and vowed to slaughter the Vazquez family.

This war came very suddenly. Not only Vazquez did not expect it, but even the major city-states of Chatelin were equally opposed.

The Chatelain royal family suppressed these objections and even led an army to go into battle.

As a result, the governors of the major city-states had no choice but to send people to participate in this war.

And it was only after the army broke through Rovers, the capital of the Republic of Vazquez, that the reason for the war was revealed, and everyone on Chatland's side felt ashamed.

It turns out that the reason for this war was just a prophecy heard by the Chatelain royal family, saying that they would be exterminated by the Vasquez in the future.

It wouldn't matter if the person who made this prophecy was a big figure from the Mystical School or the Dawn Church, but it happened to be a little-known bard.

What made everyone in Chatland even more ashamed was that it was later found out that the real identity of the bard was just a pirate on the Sea of ​​Kordo.

At this time, everyone, including the Chartland royal family, fell silent.

In the end, Kelland issued a gag order under pressure and did not dare to mention the genocide again...

And this is why all the city-states are still willing to accept Vazquez even though they are aware of Vazquez's hatred for Chatelin.

"Then Vazquez appeared on the Black Pearl, did they want to find out the truth behind it?" Wei En asked thoughtfully.

If everything originated from that prophecy, and the person who spoke the prophecy came from the sea, and Tiki appeared on the Black Pearl again, shouldn't it be such a coincidence?

"It's possible," Lacey thought for a moment, "but it probably has nothing to do with the Seres family."

"It's hard to say," Marco speculated maliciously: "Maybe that bard is from the Serres family."

As soon as these words came out, Lacey and Wei En were both stunned.

Especially Wei En, if this is the case, then it makes sense why the Vazquez family is targeting the Serres family.

Does he know that Butler Collins is the Vazquez royal family and came here 30 years ago?

"What's the matter? I, I was just joking, you don't take it seriously, do you?"

"Don't talk nonsense without basis," Lacey shook his head.

Marco looked at this and that, scratched his head and muttered: "It's really just a joke..."

Then, Lacey talked about some precautions during the investigation.

In particular, Wei En was taught one by one how to deal with various aberrations, abyss creatures and heretics.

"Heretics are usually referred to as sects whose beliefs are at odds with the four major churches. For example, the Church of Eternal Life and the Sect of Despair that you have come into contact with."

"The biggest difference between them and the mutant species is that they are essentially creatures with extraordinary characteristics just like us."

"There is only a difference in belief, but their wisdom and combat prowess are not bad. So when facing them, be particularly careful and remember not to have a head-on conflict."

Lacey reminded seriously: "The best way is to stay away from them, report it to Yegor, and leave it to the people in the war department to deal with it."

"Well, I took note."

……

……

After several people returned to the Secret Service Department, Wayne hurriedly finished writing the report on Seres Manor, and it was almost time to get off work.

Lacey pushed the door in with a few boxes, "Come and get all the new clothes. Tomorrow's celebration starts at ten o'clock, don't be late."

"Ok."

"Obey sir."

"Tina, I know."

After several people got their uniforms, Lacey reminded: "There is also something about the Seres family manor. The higher-ups have sent word to let us keep it secret for the time being."

Wei En raised his eyebrows, keep it secret?
"Is there any reason? I just thought about going back to my family to learn more about Serres..." Marco asked.

"Yegor didn't say anything, but you should be wary of the noble council."

"Well then..."

When, when.

As the bell of the Krims Cathedral rang, the four left the office one after another.

And Tina was forcibly taken away by Lacey, which also made Wayne relieved. He had too many things to do and many secrets, and it was really hard for her to follow him...

More importantly, he was rich, and it was still a huge sum of money.

At night, he can exchange some good things with Ghost.

The spells of the undead system, various potion formulas, potion materials, isolation circles, etc., as well as various materials for making mechanical puppets...

But such a good mood disappeared after Wei En entered the residence.

"Claire, why are you here again??"

"Aren't you welcome?" Claire was still in that short skirt, sitting on the sofa in the living room and looking at him, "I've been waiting for you for a long time~"

As she spoke, her overlapping legs slowly opened, then changed directions and continued to overlap.

The corners of Wei En's eyes twitched, this woman definitely has something seriously wrong!
"If it's about translation, we have to wait."

"Don't worry about that," Claire snapped her fingers, and a steaming barbecue appeared on the table. "Are you hungry? Talk while eating."

"……it is good."
