The Secret of the Sea Snake Watermonster?

“It's not a book about powerful magic, it's just a science book about water monsters?” He had just prepared his emotions and rewarded an irrelevant book. Suddenly it was discovered that the name of the magic book had the words "Sea Serpent Water Monster” on it.

The Sea Serpent Watermonster immediately reminded him of the grunt Michita that hunted the sea monster Archer —— a giant sea serpent monster with six heads.

Then I remembered the original intangible dragon chain task, which was also involved in the form of a magic book.

At this moment, he has a strong premonition that the crisis has been surrounding him: "Perhaps, this time, it is the Lulu Michita chain of tasks. That's probably the middle sea monster's Tulu Michita, who hasn't left the area, hiding in the dark and watching! ”

Very likely.

Otherwise, there is no need to reward a Sea Serpent Cop book.

However, in the face of the threat of Lulu Michita, he simply relaxed for a moment of nervousness. The intangible dragon invasion has been handled. What can we do with another intermediate sea monster?

With the help of a smoke mission, solving this sea snake will never be too difficult.

Power of Destiny waits for idleness.

Besides, the sea monster can only live in the deep sea. If he dares to come to the shallow sea area, he will seek death himself. Flowertown today, Lester today, is no longer weak.

“Be careful for a while now, do more smoke tasks, get more information about the Tulu Michita, and reward the Serial Quest… Finally, solve the hidden hazards! ”

Between thoughts flashed.

New smoke mission released.

“Task: Looking through the magic book brought by Elkson, do you feel that every book is contaminated with the amazing cry of the magic apprentice, which is helplessness and despair after the broken soul, please wash away the grievances on the magic book. Reward: A research note. ”

Mage Apprentice Grievance?

Lester frowned deeply and thought, "What do you mean, Elkson killed a lot of magic apprentices behind his back to get these magic books? I don't suppose so. Elkson doesn't look like a homicidal maniac and kills a magic apprentice to get a magic book? ”

Intuitive senses make him not believe that Elkson would kill magic apprentices.

But reason told him that it was necessary to examine Elkson carefully and not trust anyone: “If Elkson is really a homicidal maniac, I'm going to wash away the grievances in the book, aren't I going to have to kill Elkson... go back to Flower Town and do the next step! ”

On Coral Island, random killings are strictly forbidden, a rule promulgated by the Earl.

Even those aristocracies cannot kill casually outside their territories; even within their territories, casual killings are punishable by the Count - although the Lord has absolute jurisdiction over the territory, the conduct transcends the morality of the aristocracy and the Lord above will certainly teach you to be human.

Of course, nobles often cherish their serfs, do not kill at will, and their superiors do not care what their followers do on their territory.

There is no need to mess with your followers for the lives of a few civilians.

It's just that magicians are not noblemen. If they dare to kill people at will, noblemen must punish them. Lester appreciates Elkson, is polite, unscrupulous, and is a good partner. But as a nobleman, if Elkson was found murdering randomly, he would never be soft.

Rest for one night.

The next day we sailed back to Flower Town, where Lister was no longer bored by previous voyages. Gorte returns with the boat, bragging all the time. And he kept holding the binoculars and looking around to make sure that Tulu Michita didn't sneak up on himself.

At sea, intermediate sea monsters are not easy to deal with.

He's ready, in case he meets Tulu Michita, he'll never resist. Stop the boat to drift, retrieve the Dinghai Divine Bead, let the Tulu Michita ravage, just hide in the canoe and steal life. And filled with smoked weed juice, waiting for the end of the Tulu Michita, before rowing home.

It's not cowardice.

It's helpless.

He could not fail to return to Flower Town, but, unprepared, encountered Tulu Michita in the open sea, the resistance was merely a quick death.

However.

Without Sea Monster Archer aboard the ship, Tulu Michita would not necessarily be interested in the Flower - it has sailed dozens of times back and forth in this period of time, nor has it collided with Tulu Michita, and it can be seen that the sea monster has little interest in the ship.

In tension.

Smooth return to Flower Town.

Lester went straight to the castle and looked for the magic book that Elkson had brought. Some of the magic books he identified as having no "harmful” content were given to Seaman Engraving for reading, while others were left on the shelves of the study.

“In the meantime, I only received two boxes of books from Elkson, and the reward should be here.” Quickly looking, soon, a "Secret of the Sea Serpent Watermonster" was ripped out of the blind corner of his bookshelf.

He hadn't seen this book before, and it was probably Butler Carter who helped him sort it out and put it on the bookshelf.

He called to guard Parise before he was ready to go over.

“Sir Baron, what can I do for you? ”

“A little assignment, I hope you can help me with, I love magic books, you know. ”

“Of course, everyone in town should know that Lord Baron likes to read. ”

“These books were purchased on my behalf by Elkson Truth, but I now suspect that there are some problems with their origins, and I would like to ask you to help me investigate them covertly and make sure they are purchased legally.” Lester said he didn't want to interrogate Elkson directly.

If you don't want to beat up a snake, it's a misunderstanding and it doesn't look good on you.

“Very easy task, I will complete as soon as possible, Lord Baron. ”

“So let's talk about mission rewards. ”

Parise smiled suddenly: "It's just a small task, it's free. After all, I don't work with money alone, which has caused a lot of gossip from the town's officials. ”

“Bullshit?” Lister's eyebrows were picked, and it seemed that someone was not very comfortable with their compensation arrangements, "I would put an end to this gossip. ”

“No, Lord Baron, I don't mind that. ”

Parise finished, said goodbye, and left to do her free assignment.

Lester didn't forget what she said about it, and he called the housekeeper Carter: "Mr. Carter, do you know anybody in town complaining about Parise being overpaid? ”

“Sorry, sir, I don't think I noticed that aspect. ”

“When you tell your servants to go out, don't forget to ask the town officials more about what they said. Something is not right, tell me quickly. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

After ordering Carter's housekeeper, Lester intends to take the time to investigate.

When he was the only one left in the study with milk tea on the table, he didn't look good or bad.

Just talking to myself: “I am a good speaker, as a lord I have never been unjust to my followers... I can ask questions in person, but questioning my decision behind my back is not something a qualified subordinate should do. ”
