Chapter 106 Speculation on each other

   "Mathas, is the hidden female elf the result of your divination?"

  Storm’s End is the political center of the Isle of Storms and the place where the governor lives. Every room here is equipped with the brightest gas lamps.

   Except for one place, and that is the almost unknown basement of the lowest level of the castle.

  The basement area is very large, with moldy walls and stone pillars supporting the top floor, making it look like a maze of horror.

  Although there is a special ventilation system here, it is still cold and damp, and there is always a bad smell of water.

   Following the sound of the iron door closing, a tall figure entered the basement.

  He strode past the mildew-stained stone pillars, and the wind brought the flames of the torches dancing on the wall.

   While the flames were flickering, the figure turned around the wall and suddenly stopped beside a candlestick with hundreds of candles.

  The candlelight jumped because of this person's appearance, and in the dancing candlelight, it was the face of the governor of Storm Island, Penrose Fell, that was reflected.

   "Mathus, what I want you to divination is the whereabouts of Rhine, not the murderer of Borg Moros.

  The murderer who dared to kill the nobles is important, but you have more important things to do. "

  Penrose Fell had a thick voice, and he was sternly criticizing a man named Marthas.

   "Master Governor, as I said, he is very smart."

   A dry and cold voice sounded, it was from a man named Marthas.

  Even though Governor Fell, the supreme ruler of Storm Island, stood behind him aggressively, Marthas still sat on the ground wall without moving.

  On the ground around him, a circle of candles were lit, and the candles were lit with strange green flames.

  Because of Governor Feier walking quickly, the candle lights flickered and flickered at this moment.

  Mathus stretched out a hand that looked like only skin and bones from under the robe, he stroked the flames, and soon, the green flames returned to tranquility.

   "Smart? Is that your excuse?"

  Governor Fell sneered and mocked, and then he continued:

   "However, my people have found out one thing, the doctor Danny is Mrs. Alvin's grandson-in-law.

  I am very suspicious now, the person who killed Bog Moros and revealed all his good deeds is Rhine. "

   In fact, Governor Fell is not just suspicious, he has already arranged so.

  When he got the address of Jinhu Town from Marthas yesterday, he had a plan in his mind.

  Originally, as the governor, he had no reason to use soldiers to track down Li Feng.

   What's more, Li Feng is still a free man in front of the Sea Throne personally appointed by the king.

  His identity gave the Governor a headache.

   But now it is a coincidence that the governor can use the name of arresting the murderer to brazenly send people to encircle and suppress Li Feng.

  Li Feng is just a Tier 1 hunter, after being beaten to death with a stick.

  Whether the governor came forward afterwards, he said with regret that this was a sad misunderstanding.

   It is also possible to simply blame Li Feng for the murder.

   After all, it turned out that Li Feng was either killed, or was secretly arrested by him after a fake death.

  When the result has become a conclusion, it is not impossible for the kingdom to explain it.

   After all, to the king, being the governor of the big island is definitely more important than that brat.

  That's why so many Storm's End soldiers and knights marched into the pine forest in Jinhu Town last night.

   They apparently went to catch the murderer who killed Bog Moros, but in fact, they were ordered by the governor to catch or kill Li Feng.

   But who would have thought that in the pine forest, instead of seeing Li Feng, they met a difficult female elf.

   This made the governor, who had wishful thinking and only waited for good news, very angry.

  That's why he came to question Marthas aggressively.

   "A first-order hunter? Huh—"

  Mathus suddenly laughed:

   "Your Excellency, you are also a person who has slain a dragon, why can't you even think of this?"

  Mathus paused when he said this.

  As for Governor Fell, he couldn't help narrowing his eyes when he heard this, with a bad expression on his face.

   But he didn't have an attack, just waited silently.

   Sitting facing the wall, with his back to the Governor, Massas seemed to know all this. He waited deliberately before saying:

   "Borg Moros and his steward were killed by the Hidden Ones.

   And the people who killed them also took my twin blood crystals. "

  Mathas said distressedly and looked at the other blood crystal on his left, because he lost his other half, it became dim at the moment.

  The blood in the crystal gradually coagulated into blood clots and stopped spinning.

   "My lord, the person who killed Borg Moros was the one who knew my spell in advance.

  She also came here to destroy my spell. "

   "Mathus!"

  Governor Fell heard this, and suddenly stopped him sharply.

   "Why, you don't want to tell me that you used so many of my resources for divination, and even called my soldiers, are you actually avenging yourself?"

  Governor Fell was very angry, and of course the person who killed Bog Moros must be found.

   But what he needs more now is to find Li Feng, and thus find Faranell's notes.

  He knew that Li Feng left Wind's Rest by train a few days ago.

   But soon, his knight lost the man.

  The governor was very angry about this, and he sent people to closely monitor Rhine's movements at all the train stations in the entire Storm Island.

  But unfortunately, there are no results.

   Until the soul eater named Marthas who cooperated with him.

  Finally confided to him the grievances between Mrs. Alvin of Woodshire and the alchemist Gard, and he understood the ins and outs of the matter.

  At that time, Governor Fell was about to send people to encircle Garde's wooden house, but Marthas told him.

  Line had already been there and killed three of his apprentices.

   And now, the building is empty.

   Governor Fell, who learned of this, wished he could kill Marthas on the spot.

  If it weren't for his selfishness and mistakes, he didn't share information, and he wouldn't have missed the opportunity in vain.

   But anger is anger, the governor did not kill the soul eater.

   As soon as he mastered many forbidden spells, it was of great use to him.

  Secondly, Marthas is also in the fourth rank and ninth rank, which is comparable to his own power. Before he is ready, it is absolutely not easy to fight him.

  Mathus also realized Li Feng's cunning through this mistake.

  Since they are both looking for a way to become a demigod, it is better to let go of their grievances, cooperate honestly, and get the notes first.

   Coincidentally, the governor thought so too.

  As for Li Feng, who was still thousands of miles away at that time, he never expected that he would inadvertently promote the sincere cooperation between two people who did not trust each other.

   "Your Excellency, calm down, please listen to me."

  Mathus finally stood up. He turned around and looked up at the governor respectfully, revealing a face that was no different from a skeleton.

   "Your Excellency, you also said just now that Mrs. Alvin's only descendant is in Jinhu Town.

   And his grandson-in-law was framed by Borg Moros. The hunter named Rhine did have the motive to kill Borg Moros.

  However, why are the hidden people who kill people, and why do hidden person elves appear again? "

"what do you want to say in the end?"

  Mathus made the call, which made Governor Fell a little impatient.

   "My lord governor, what I want to say is that in this world, we are not the only ones looking for Faranell's notes, nor are we the only ones looking for Rhine.

  Especially that day, the demons who attacked Wind's Rest revealed this secret to the public. "

  Hearing this, Governor Fell frowned and pulled a chair to sit down. His fingers tapped his face irritably and said:

"what do you mean…"

   "Black and White House."

  Mathus spoke slowly and word by word.

  Suddenly, Governor Fell's hand froze for a moment, and his face became more gloomy:

   "You mean, the Black and White Institute is cooperating with Rhine."

   "Or helping him deal with us."

  Mathus immediately said:

   "Just imagine, how can a first-order hunter have such great strength.

  First I avoided your eyeliner, then killed my three apprentices, and finally took care of the entire Moros Castle by myself.

   During this period, someone must help him.

and…"

  Mathus said this, and suddenly became determined:

   "And I can guarantee that in the pine forest in Jinhu Town last night, Rhine must have been with that female elf, and my divination will not be wrong."

"Ah-"

  Hearing this, Governor Fell suddenly smiled:

   "It's really strange. Although my soldiers didn't catch the female elf, they still surrounded the place with water. Rhine is really there. How did he get away?"

  Mathus was silent for a while, he was not sure about this, but he still said:

   "Then why do you think the female elves want to play tricks on your knight?

   By doing this, isn't she just looking for an opportunity for Rhine to escape? "

   Hearing that his knight was being teased again, Governor Fell snorted softly.

  He waved his hand in annoyance, ending the topic.

  Mathus may be right, but these are not the key points. All he wants are notes, and the others are not important.

   After being silent for a while, Governor Fell suppressed the negative emotions in his heart and only focused on the matter in front of him.

  He asked Marthas:

   "Do you think that kid Rhine has already got the notes?"

   This time it was Marthas' turn to be silent.

  His intuition told him that Rhine had already got the notes.

  But as a fourth-rank and ninth-rank transcendent, he has been running around for decades to become a demigod.

  During this period, he also got involved in forbidden spells, making himself look like a ghost.

  He paid such a high price, but he couldn't find a way to be promoted to a demigod.

  Finally, by chance, he finally got the clue of Faraniel's notes.

  But despite all the planning, he is still subordinated to others, losing troops and generals, but he still hasn't got the notebook.

  The young man named Rhine was only a Tier 1 hunter, and he found out about Mrs. Alvin and Gad's residence so easily.

   And judging from the current situation, he should have gotten the notes.

  A feeling of resentment and unwillingness rose in the center of Mathas, and then he suddenly understood what Governor Fell said to him that day:

   Don't underestimate that kid.

  Slightly closed his shriveled eyelids, Marthas said:

   "I don't have the energy to do another divination.

  But my intuition tells me that the hunter has already got the notes.

  So Governor General, it's your turn. "

  Hearing this, Governor Fermo raised his head, and then he sneered:

   "As long as he's still on the Isle of Storms."

  In the dark and damp basement, Governor Fell and Marthas were thinking the same thing.

  The opportunity to be promoted to a demigod is in front of you, and you can't give it up no matter what, even with the variable Rhine.

  After that, the two carefully analyzed the details from beginning to end.

  Both of them are elites who have experienced great storms. They analyzed what Li Feng did and what he might have done, which is not far from the truth.

   But the only thing they never expected.

   The first thing, Li Feng is not relying on the female elves to hide, because he is a hider himself.

  The second thing, the Faranell notes they were after were actually only semi-finished works of Gard's translation.

  Falanier's autobiography, which really records secrets and knowledge, is actually in Li Feng's hands, and it has never been known.

  …

   “People only pay for things that are more important.”

  In a hotel room in Jinhu Town, Li Feng silently read the words in the letter.

  Just now, he used the relic—the fortune teller's letter opener.

  Divide whether the soldiers who went to the pine forest last night came to chase down the murderer who killed Bog Moros, or to track down Rhine who was looking for the notes.

  Although he did both of these things, it is not so easy for outsiders to guess.

   'More important things...'

   This letter opener still doesn't speak human language, but Li Feng is already familiar with its routine.

  For the other party, is it important to kill the nobleman, or to find the notes and be promoted to a demigod?

  The result certainly speaks for itself.

   It's just that it took so much trouble.

  I'm afraid that when the other party got the address of Jinhu Town, he had already guessed that he was involved in Bog Moros' death.

  Of course, they should pretend to be involved whether they really are involved or not.

  'Slander me as a murderer of nobles, beat me to death with sticks first, so that I don't have to worry about my status as a free man in front of the Sea Throne.

   Really good abacus. '

  Thinking of this, Li Feng suddenly smiled.

  Recall another thing Morningstar told him last night, about the blood crystal found in Borg Moros's bedroom.

  Chen Xing said that the crystal was called a blood crystal, and it was made into a twin pair through extremely complicated methods.

   is also something that will be used in Soul Eater's forbidden spell.

  The usual practice is to place one of the two blood crystals next to the Soul Eater.

   And the other one, put it in a place like a brothel to absorb the essence, so as to nourish the soul eater.

  But this kind of crystal will affect people's temperament, making people's desires bigger and bigger, and more and more irritable.

  This leads to the fact that in actual operation, a brothel where people come and go is not a suitable place.

  That's why the Soul Eater hiding here chose the nobleman Borg Moros who lived alone.

  His various conditions are very in line with the requirements of the soul eater.

   It's just that these taboo spells have attracted the attention of the Black and White Institute, and they want Morning Star to deal with this matter.

  Because of the influence of the blood crystal, Borg Moros, whose temper became extremely violent, killed the maid and framed Danny, thus attracting Li Feng.

   This triggered the follow-up.

   And Chen Xing also told Li Feng that the other half of the twin blood crystals, that is, the person who uses the forbidden spell, according to her investigation, is in the direction of Wind's Breath City.

   This can't help but remind Li Feng of another thing, that is, the three superhumans who came to kill him that he saw in the Gad hut.

  They are also under a curse that cannot betray their master, and this curse is also a forbidden spell of Soul Eater.

  ‘One is the governor who sent troops to track and arrest me, and the other is the soul eater who sent extraordinary people to kill me.

  It seems that in Wind's Rest, there are two people who want to kill me. '

  Li Feng rubbed the center of his brows, no matter what, he used the clues he collected to roughly deduce the enemy.

  They should already know that there are hidden elves helping me, and they even thought it was the Black and White Court helping me, but they still couldn't guess two things.

   First, besides being a hunter, I am also a hider.

  Secondly, the Faranell notes they were looking for were only half-finished translations by Gard.

   And the truly valuable autobiography of Faranell is in my hands.

  In the room with the curtains closed, Li Feng analyzed his own strengths, and at the same time began to arrange follow-up plans.
