The Lord Of The Mysteries

The Chapter 193

The articles covering what happened to Qilangos are not long, and the only ones written are time, place, the people involved, and the results. As the saying goes, the more concise the content, the more serious the situation.

Something that happened in Backlund at eight or nine last night was already reported in Tingen City this morning. The dissemination of information in this world was not too slow due to the extraordinary contribution of Emperor Roselle. Surely one of the nobles or ministers who attended the party leaked this information to several reporters, then the reporter used a telegraph to send this sensational news to news companies in various countries…

Morning newspapers are usually drafted at night and printed after midnight before being distributed in the morning. There is enough time to make changes and publish this article…

Just based on this news, the Tingen Morning Post would be able to sell over a thousand copies. And that only considers this city…

Klein's mind became increasingly troubled before finally becoming calm.

Since Rear Admiral Storm Qilangos is dead, it means that even if Mr. Azik is injured, it will not be too serious…

If it was serious, he would definitely be caught by the Mandated Punishers or Beyonder guards of Duke Negan chasing after Qilangos. And when faced with such a situation, Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man will definitely try their best to report it to me. The latter did not happen enough to show that everything was under control …

Yes, if Mr. Azik does not give me an answer, or if Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged do not pray to me tonight, I will blow the copper whistle once more to summon the envoy and send a question letter…

Relaxing, Klein turned his attention away from the newspaper, then he observed the public carriage.

Most people who can afford transportation like this can read, and under the influence of the term "extra", many buy the Tingen Morning Post. Now, some of them were secretly discussing the incident.

"The Pirate King and the admirals have been terrorizing the sea routes for a long time. They retreated when they saw warships from different countries, but they paid little attention to merchant ships.Although Qilangos was only sworn in as one of the Seven Pirate Admiralties for less than a decade, the, he was the first to be killed by the government.”.

"Frankly, I wonder what he did in Backlund? When a pirate leaves the ocean, death is a predictable outcome."

"Hopefully in the future there are more detailed reports."

"Holy Lord of the Storm, I wonder which bodyguard Duke Negan killed Qilangos. The prize is a full 10,000 pounds!"

"10,000 pounds. If I had 10,000 pounds, I would immediately quit my job and buy two or three medium-sized nurseries. I'll invest in shares of some colonizing companies and railroad companies, and receive a stable dividend every year…"

"It's just a gift from this kingdom. Intis, Feysac, Feynapotter, and several merchant organizations also have gifts for Rear Admiral Hurricane Qilangos. I sincerely hope that there are newspapers that will provide a complete list of such gifts."

10,000 pounds? Klein was surprised to hear that.

With his already impressive salary, he would have to take twenty years to be able to save that much money even without eating or drinking.

If only I had forgotten it, I would not have been able to do anything either. It was impossible for me to claim the prize.He folded the newspaper a little sadly and looked out the window of the carriage.

At this point, he finally concluded that the incident with Rear Admiral Hurricane Qilangos had ended. All that was left was tying up the loose ends, like the collection of Roselle diaries that the Hanged Man had promised.

…

Backlund, Cherwood Borough.

Fors Wall and Xio Derecha were walking along the road to the nearest branch of Varvat Bank.

"My money seems to be gone without me noticing." Fors breathed.

Xio felt the same way.

"It's so thick."

"Fortunately, my book, Stormwind Mountain Villa, is rather popular, and there are still royalties being sent to my account. Otherwise, I would have to find a clinic or hospital and become a doctor once again." Fors sighed, both in satisfaction and in worry.

Xio paused for a moment before carefully asking, "Will the Qilangos investigation affect your status as a writer? After all, we could be under the attention of the Mandate Punisher, Nighthawks, and the others …"

"No, the only thing they'll focus on is you." Fors laughing. "You're the one who sent someone to make a police report. Same for the man who sent the letter and who is famous among the alleys and gangs in East Borough. As for me, Fors Wall, I'm still the best writer-seller."

Xio said in a daze, "So you've just been with me all this time?"

Fors stroked her hair and laughed.

"Don't you think it's an interesting experience? This experience gave me much-needed inspiration for my work. My next novel is about a sudden brutal murder."

Xio stopped, not knowing how to continue the conversation. All he could do was continue walking forward bitterly, forgetting to turn until Fors dragged him back.

At that moment, they heard a newsboy shouting.

"Extra! The extras! Rear Admiral Hurricane Qilangos was killed in the Backlund!"

…

Uh? Whahuh? Xio and Fors looked at each other in confusion.

"What's? Qilangos is dead?" Fors couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"He's dead! How did he die so suddenly!" Xio, who was trying to hide from this merciless prosecution of pirates, was shocked and confused.

This... shouldn't this follow normal procedures? First, they find clues to confirm Qilangos' motives, then they will gather the powerful Beyonders and ambush him. Killing a pirate was the last step. But, Qilangos was killed even though the first step had not been completed. He just died. Fors and Xio exchanged glances as if they were two marble statues.

Almost a minute later, Xio charged towards the newsboy and bought a copy of the Tussock Times.

It is one of the three most widely distributed newspapers in the Kingdom of Loen.

"Oh. Qilangos was really dead, killed by Duke Negan's bodyguard. Oh Goddess, Negan's bodyguard is.." Xio gasps, leaving behind the "powerful Beyonder," that he wants to say.

Fors looked at his good friend with pity.

"To think that you would believe everything the newspaper says …"

"Alright, perhaps someone was aware of Qilangos' motives earlier, and the Mandated Punisher, Nighthawks, Machinery Hivemind, and the military teamed up and executed a successful ambush .." Xio froze and sighed. "We don't have to worry anymore. We can go back to our normal lives, but we have to avoid the police station's influence from before."

He looked at Fors and asked, a little worried, "How much do you think Miss Audrey will pay us now? I know that a few hundred pounds won't be too much for him, but we haven't really finished what he's asking.

"No, at least we made Qilangos appear of his own accord. The reason he rushed to take action and fell for the ambush must have been partly because of our contribution," Fors comforted him. "With Miss Audrey's generosity, she'll give us half a gift even if she doesn't give us all."

"Hopefully so .." Xio took a deep breath and stared expectantly. "I wonder who will claim that 10,000 pound prize …"

"It must have invited the jealousy of others. If I had that kind of money, I would have been Sequence 7 or 6 a long time ago, but I missed the opportunity many times!" Fors also felt a little regretful, but he reminded his friend, "Xio, don't call Miss Audrey for now. Let him contact us of his own volition. There are too many hidden details surrounding Qilangos' death. Looking for Miss Audrey could suddenly put us in a dangerous situation."

Xio first nodded before saying in surprise, "How did you know that I was thinking of going to the Borough Empress?"

"Well guess?" Fors laughed in response.

…

After a busy morning, Klein returned to the Blackthorn Security Company. He reported to Dunn Smith, "Captain, the people related to Lanevus I investigated have no problems. They're just victims, unrelated to the Beyonder incident."

Dunn put both elbows on the table.

"Then stop that for now. We will put our focus on more likely suspects once the other members complete their investigation. We were unable to direct all our manpower to this incident. We must be alert for other sudden incidents. "

"Good." Klein was about to stand up and go to lunch when he suddenly heard a knock at the door.

"Please come in" Dunn said in her soft voice.

The handle moved and Rozanne peered inside.

"Captain, someone's here on a mission."

A mission. This seems to be targeted at the Blackthorn Security Company and not the Nighthawks. So, who's wrong to come to us this time? Klein wondered to himself.

Dunn thought for a moment before saying, "We can listen to the request and reject it if it's too much trouble."

He set up his shirt and vest as he walked out of the office. He walked past the partition and headed towards the sofa in the reception area. Klein and Rozanne followed with curiosity behind.

There were two women on the sofa, both wearing hats and an extra colorless black dress.

One of the women was fat and had white skin. His face was completely covered by the black veil of his hat.

Klein felt a sense of familiarity when he saw her, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

Just as he remembered it, he heard the skinny woman beside him speak.

"The mission we want to entrust to you is for you to track down and monitor Madam Sharon and find evidence of her crimes."

Mrs Sharon. Klein suddenly gained enlightenment, and recalled where that sense of familiarity came from.

The silenced woman was the wife of Member of Parliament Maynard, daughter of the New Party leader.

She found it difficult to accept her husband's death and was unwilling to accept the conclusion of the police department, so she came to the security company personally to conduct another investigation?

Thinking that he came directly to us. Klein shook his head and laughed to himself.
