"Well... tell me what you know..."

"Tell me everything!"

Volume 9: Chapter 12: The Tornado of Singles

Jeston's method was very crude. He basically just grabbed someone and beat him up, then threw him aside until he was half dead. Then he would grab another unlucky guy and repeat the process.

Very crude, but very useful.

For these family-based gangs, nothing is more important than their lives.

After all, their "parents" had been caught and beaten like dead dogs, so it seemed that there was no point in them insisting on anything.

What's the point of leaving behind a family name if everyone is dead?

Do we add a memorial tablet when people burn incense?

So, when Jeston's jailer showed up, the guys who were driven out of Syracuse quickly spilled the beans.

About a month ago, gang members saw someone who looked like Christen at the Tryton Factory in Tremont District 13.

Blonde and Pello only found these two pieces of information, but the other party's whereabouts were very secretive, which is why they left an impression.

"Treaton Factory..."

Stroking her chin, Talina narrowed her eyes and began to think.

"It was an abandoned factory site. The owner was jailed for bribery, so everything there had stopped."

“We were planning to auction it off, but someone stopped it.”

The Tin Man, who knew all the news about Tremont, quickly gave the answer.

This matter is very small. It is very common in Tremont and happens almost every day. It is just a bribe, not a big deal.

In Colombia, which senior official dares to say that he is clean and has no stain?

It's impossible, okay?

So the Tin Man did not connect this incident with Christen.

“How’s the location there?”

Talina asked as she listened to the Tin Man's report.

"It's in a remote area, on the edge of Tremont. The Triton plant has been shut down for three months, and there's no one around."

"Is that so? It's indeed a hiding place. Anyway, let's go there."

Without spending much time thinking, Talina quickly made the decision.

Even though this news was from a month ago, it's better than nothing. There's no harm in going and taking a look. At most, it's just a wasted trip. It's much better than sitting here and waiting like this.

Just when Talina was about to get up and leave, Saria, wearing a "new dress", appeared in front of her late.

"Am I late?"

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Saria glanced at Jeston inaudibly.

The latter shuddered and retreated to Talina's side.

It is a crime to disobey the superiors. This is the secret of Jeston's survival.

He was so defeated by Saria that he didn't dare to contradict this gentleman at all.

He knew that Saria looked down on him, so after joining the team he did not try to curry favor with her, but just followed Talina and obeyed her orders.

"No, it just so happened that these gang members saw someone who looked like Christen outside the Triton Factory in District 13 a month ago, and we were planning to go over and take a look."

"Well, let's go. I know the roads of Tremont. I'll lead the way."

After hearing Christen's news, Saria decisively put all these trivial matters behind her and took the initiative to lead the way.

What she pursues is order. Everything must move according to the track. Once the order is lost, the collapse of rituals and music is only the most basic, and the whole society will fall into panic.

Obviously, Christen's matter is more important now. No one knows what the other party is doing, but what is known is that it is definitely not a good thing.

In comparison, the lives of two murderous thugs are far less important than the lives of others.

She is indeed kind, but not blindly kind.

She knows what is important and what is not.

.........

Under the leadership of Saria, Talina and the other two continued to travel through the streets and alleys of Tremon, avoiding the patrolling army while also trying their best to avoid the cameras.

Fortunately, Saria had a deep understanding of the city where she had lived for a long time, and with the help of the old hand, the Tin Man, she did not encounter any danger along the way.

The group of four arrived at the Tryton factory smoothly.

The area around the factory was deserted, with weeds growing up to waist height. It was obvious that it had been abandoned for some time.

Climbing over the wall, prying open the door, the four of them used their own unique abilities to enter the factory.

Then they began to act separately.

Standing in a room that might be a reference room, Talina stopped and looked at the empty bookshelves around her.

Reaching out and touching the bookshelf, Talina rubbed her fingers, looked at the dust on it, and understood in her heart.

"There's definitely a problem here."

According to the Tin Man, the owner of this factory was imprisoned for bribery, so the factory will naturally be liquidated and auctioned as an asset.

The liquidation of assets within the factory is a major project. Without the corresponding documents, one month is far from enough.

Judging from the thickness of the dust here, it has been at least two months, not to mention the computer hosts that have been moved away.

The people who came to deal with it didn't seem to intend to leave anything here at all. They just wanted to empty the place out. As for the property, they didn't care at all.

Just... cleared a space.

"Let's go to the top floor and look for it."

Clapping her hands to clear the dust, Talina called out to Jeston who was waiting on the side and walked upstairs.

Although they were acting separately, there were actually only three teams.

With Saria present, Jeston was determined not to act alone, as he was worried that the other party would put him in a sack.

While this possibility is small, it is definitely not zero.

Climbing up the stairs, Talina searched all the places along the way where there might be suspicious spots, but unfortunately, there was nothing except a few Zarak beastkin.

Talina had no choice but to stop when she reached the top floor, a very empty place that looked like a storage warehouse.

Looking at the white walls around her, Talina began to have a headache.

"Miss, there seems to be a road there."

At this moment, Jeston, who had been serving as an attendant nearby, suddenly stood up and pointed at the roof in the far corner.

Looking in the direction of the other person's finger, Talina also found something wrong.

It was an iron plate of the same color as the roof, about 2*2 in size, but because of its tight fit and the consistent color, it was well hidden.

If it weren't for the fact that Zeston's Originium skill happened to be controlling iron, they might have missed this clue.

"It's empty up there, I'll go explore the way first."

As a lackey, Jeston was very self-aware. After obtaining Talina's consent, he rushed over there first.

The top floor is very high, about fifteen meters, but this is nothing to Jeston.

The latter only condensed a few iron spikes on his palms and toes and climbed up like a spider.

Jeston pushed the iron plate open, and instantly, a beam of light shot straight down.

"It's a platform, and some strange machines."

Jeston looked inside and told Talina what he saw.

Talina nodded, waved her fingers to outline the magic circle, and then crashed into it.

Feeling the lightness coming from her body, Talina tapped her toes and her whole body "flew" up like a balloon.

After passing through the "hole" accurately, Talina came to a new place and saw the strange machine that Jason mentioned.

To be more precise, it was a pile of iron shelves that had been exposed to the sun and wind, but they showed no signs of rust and looked as good as new.

"This is... a mark left by a fire."

Coming to the iron rack, Talina looked at the dark marks on the ground and reached out to gently pinch them.

Having played with fire for many years, she immediately recognized that these black marks were left by the high temperature burning of the flames, which means that someone had been "playing with fire" here.

We still don't know what her purpose of playing with fire is, but...this is also a new clue.

Taking out her cell phone, Talina took a picture of the situation here, sent it to Saria and the Tin Man, and notified them to meet up here.

But just as the photo was taken, a strong gust of wind suddenly appeared beside Talina.

Jeston reacted extremely quickly and came in front of Talina in an instant. The blade in his hand split the invisible tornado and resolved the crisis.

Looking at the "tornado" blowing past her on both sides, Talina raised her eyebrows.

"Originium spells related to wind..."

"Why can it only attack a single unit?"

Volume 9: Chapter 13: If I can’t beat Saria, can I beat you?

Warlock is a very special profession.

No matter what kind of Originium spells they use, they basically cover the characteristics of mass destruction.

Whether it is fire, ice, or lightning, these spells all have some group attack attributes, which is why the army will be equipped with a warlock unit.

No matter how they refute or reject it, this is the characteristic of Originium magic.

Except for a few spells such as the Music Spell, the others are basically related to group attacks.

Therefore, when a wind-related Originium spell suddenly appeared around her, Talina's vigilance was instantly raised.

Even with Jeston blocking the way, she didn't relax at all.

However, when she felt the wind disappear without a trace after hitting Jeston, she began to wonder if this was some kind of tactic of the enemy.

For example, showing weakness to the enemy.

But soon, Talina overturned her idea.

It was difficult for Jeston to deal with this kind of spell. He was better at close combat, which was related to his previous experience as a killer.

When it comes to assassination, he can perform very well, but when it comes to a one-on-one fight, especially in this kind of extremely restrained battle, his performance is a bit poor.

The iron blade split the incoming strong wind again and again. Jeston was able to disperse the strong wind accurately every time, but the aftermath of the strong wind cut his coat.

There were even small wounds on his face.

For a moment, his entire body seemed to be fished out of blood.

But even so, he still did not leave Talina.

One reason is that Talina is her only and best choice at the moment. Now is the time to show loyalty. If she does well, she will only have more rights in the future, not less.

He knew that the Chamber of Commerce had been driven out of Casimir, all the top executives had been eliminated, leaving a lot of positions vacant.

He never...had no chance to get involved!

With Talina's help, it would be no problem for him to get the position of director of the Guard Bureau. Even if he had to be Talina's dog, he had nothing to say.

He doesn't mind being a dog for others. What he minds is that the person holding his chain can't give him what he wants!

If you give him enough benefits, he can do anything.

Secondly, these injuries on his body were really nothing. They just looked scary and were far from enough to threaten his life.

and...

He has found the spot!

Pressing his body downward, Jeston flipped the blade in his hand, splitting the strong wind in front of him, and then rushed towards the vent in the distance!

The view from the top floor is very wide. Apart from the shelf next to them, there is only one ventilation hole where people can hide.

"A guy who hides his head but shows his tail!"
