Lord of the Silver Crow

Chapter 73: Puppet master

The sharp cries of the fog crow immediately attracted the old Fanks, the butler who was patrolling around the mansion to guard against the infiltration of Extraordinary people.

At an agile speed that is absolutely impossible for a nearly seventy-year-old man in this era, with the continuous sound of footsteps, Old Fanks ran up the stairs all the way to the front of Yago.

Immediately, he saw Yago standing at the door of the room.

"Master? Did something happen?"

Old Fanks seemed a little puzzled, and looked around, for fear of ignoring any dangerous factors.

"No, it's nothing, but when I opened the door and entered the room, Shugein suddenly rushed out and frightened me. Maybe tomorrow morning, I can replace it with other grains and add more minced meat... ."

Yago originally wanted to say that because he was scared, he gave the Mist Crow less food, but...

Isn’t it a bit bad to think that it picked up such an important thing for yourself in the book world, isn’t it a bit bad to punish instead of rewarding?

"No problem, master, we just bought some flour and grains from the Kingdom of Danwall from Mr. Kantan Reed recently."

The Kingdom of Danwall is a large agricultural country, rich in all kinds of grains.

At this moment, Elsa's door opened, and Elsa, wearing a delicate nightgown, walked out of the room with Betty's hand:

"You can buy more later, Fanks."

Seeing Little Betty and Elsa walking out, Van Kees was also relieved, and he bowed slightly:

"Yes, miss."

In response to Yago's eyes, Elsa said:

"Because of the stupid protection bill, other countries have also raised tariffs on Catcia’s imports. The parliament decided, no, it is already implementing the abolition of the protection bill. After all, the nobles who own factories have more than the nobles who own the land. A big right to speak is more in line with their wishes than protecting agriculture and suppressing workers’ demands for higher wages, and obtaining cheaper raw materials."

"Oh..." Yago nodded his head seemingly understanding, he always felt that this event was a bit familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

Yago's attitude made Elsa mistakenly think he was thinking about how she knew. She held her hands, covered her mouth and chuckled:

"Those ladies and wives who can't climb into the real upper class can't wait to use everything they know and others don't know as ostentatious talks."

However, you can chat anytime. At this time, other things are more important:

"Weakness needs a week or so to recover..."

There was concern in her eyes.

Her words immediately let Yago understand what she meant. Although he didn't intend to talk about the masks, ruins of the temple, and the bell tower, other things can still be explained:

"I may have encountered an Extraordinary with a broken gear. A bird-shaped clockwork machine appeared next to me. I don't know if it was under surveillance."

Yago told the first half truthfully, and concealed the second half.

And Yago's explanation also surprised Elsa.

"A clockwork machine? It should be the ‘steam’ route."

The main sequence path that the church itself masters is basically named after the name of the corresponding church.

Although the name of the church is not equivalent to the ability of the sequence, it is definitely relevant. Before you know the real name, use the name of the church or its Extraordinary squad.

Elsa, who has explored the story of Crowsong with Arabella as the main field for many times, has some understanding of the Extraordinary of Broken Gear and the ability of the "steam" pathway.

Although the abilities of the extraordinary in the world in the book are different from reality, the clockwork mechanism is most likely the main sequence approach that the Church of Steam has mastered.

Yago is noncommittal.

He couldn't help but doubt the strange death method and performance of the corpse, which was similar to that of Miss Elaine, the deceased at the Dillard Theater.

.......

The next day, after slandering the taste of the food, Yago and Elsa rode to Fast's cloakroom in a carriage.

Taking the spare key of the clothing store from Elsa, Yago left the clothing store, got on the carriage, and went to the gentleman's club.

On the square of Furnace Road, the tents that were still being set up yesterday have been set up at this time, with colorful tents set up.

Looking out of the car window, Yago saw that in front of the sign of Philip Circus, actors in colorful costumes were distributing flyers.

There are clowns dressed in funny clothes with various oil paints on their faces, and some acrobats who roll their hands and perform some simple acrobatics flexibly. There are also a few small boys and girls and a few girls watching and performing tricks and wearing tricks. Magician wearing a top hat.

Looking at the circus, Yago suddenly remembered the words used by the Extraordinary who attacked in the Dillard Theater yesterday.

"Ladies and gentlemen..." Maybe the Extraordinary who committed the crime was hiding in the circus?

Although the carriage speed was not too fast, it quickly made the circus tent disappear from Yago's vision.

West Flame Road.

Passing through the exquisitely decorated black railing gate, Yago entered the gentleman's club.

The open surface has a silver star, like a pocket watch with a cross symbol, and the hour hand in the big circle is pointing to the number 9 in the lower right corner.

Perhaps because it was still early, there were no people in the hall, only in the counter, the maid named Jacqueline who was in charge of the reception was changing the flower arrangements and trimming the branches of the vases in the hall.

Seeing Yago entering, she bowed to Yago politely, Yago also nodded in greeting, and then walked to the prayer room.

Pushing open the door of the prayer room painted with rose patterns, Alenasia was sitting on the black bench on the right, praying to the goddess in a prayer posture with her hands folded on her shoulders.

Although not a believer of the goddess, as a member of the thorn tree, Yago also crossed his hands and put his shoulders together in prayer.

Afterwards, he asked Alenahia who stopped praying about Friesen's location.

"The captain has gone to the Forge Square to investigate. He said he suspects that the attacker who appeared at the Di Lud Theater may be hiding in the circus."

Sure enough, as long as you are not stupid, you can find clues from those words.

but......

Seeing Yago’s doubts, Alenasia smiled gently and explained:

"You can also pay attention to it in the future, because the method of digesting potions is to learn and imitate the names of potions, so Extraordinary's apparent identity and behavior will most likely match the corresponding profession."

Yago nodded, which was easy to understand.

"According to our discussion, the attacker may be the sequence 7 of the ‘fraudist’ approach, and the offset sequence of the ‘puppet master’-‘puppet master’.”

Afterwards, Alena Xia continued:

"When it comes to the crimes of a Sequence 7 Extraordinary person, we can only rely on the leader of the same Sequence 7 to go. If I have no combat effectiveness, it is very likely to cause a drag."

Yago has no objection, but...

"But...not to say that there is a confidentiality level, the sequence 7 thing..."

Ask if you don’t understand.
