Chapter 633 Investigation
"You are tortureing his soul, are you?" The person sitting opposite Lena Catherine, the leader of the Investigation Corps, finally couldn't help but ask: "I was a little curious at first. Are the rumors outside true now?"
Rena squeezed the light ball in her hand again, listening to the wailing of the miserable soul with great pleasure, and then replied: "It's just a very simple intelligence operation, which can reduce me a little bit of trouble. As for whether those things are true or not, it's actually not important anymore. On the contrary, it's not long before your family has escaped the crisis of the destruction of the clan. You, the patriarch, dared to blatantly get involved with our Investigation Corps. Are you not afraid of causing trouble and being implicated in the anger of the Emperor?"
The woman Lena was receiving at this time was the acting matriarch of the Hugwen family, Goron's aunt, and Ms. Michelle Hugwen.
Hearing Lena's half-true joke, Michelle showed a bitter smile on her face, and drank a mouthful of red wine that Lena took out from the wine cellar of the original owner of the castle, and replied: "There is nothing to worry about in this matter. I am no longer the acting patriarch of the Hugwen family. Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"Oh? Although this kind of thing is normal in your circle, the speed of killing donkeys is a bit too fast, right?"
Lena was not surprised, nor did she mean to be angry with Michelle. She said with a smirk: "You are not here to help me take back the position of patriarch, right? If this is the case, please forgive me for not having any interest. The Xiuwen family is worthless now. Even if you are my ally and the relative of that weird little ghost, Geron, we have no relationship, and there is no reason to help you. Besides, that little ghost is not here now."
Hearing Goron's name, Michelle's body froze slightly, and after a moment of relaxation, she said, "You misunderstood me, Leader Lena... The position of the Hugwen family is actually not that important to me, but I also admit that sometimes rights are really useful. Tell you the truth, I have lost contact with Goron now, but in this situation, I cannot mobilize the power of the Hugwen family to find him, so this is my real purpose in finding you. I hope to get some assistance from you and help me find Goron."
"Huh? That little devil is missing? But haven't I heard that he is now under the control of your Xiu Wen family, and he is in house arrest with good food and drink. When will he give it to His Majesty the Emperor as a gift?"
"How did you know about this? You have been monitoring the Huwen family?" Michelle's face suddenly became serious. Although she has been isolated and excluded by her own tribe members, she was the acting patriarch of the Huwen family after all, and it is impossible not to care about this kind of news.
Those short-sighted and self-righteous idiots in the family mistakenly regard her brother Amanda Huwen as the little ogre Golia Huwen, and used some insidious means to put her under house arrest. This matter was listed as the family's highest secret and regarded it as the trump card for survival. How could the Investigation Corps be so clearly controlled?
"What's so strange about this? If you have been working hard in a city for more than ten years and think about how to destroy it every day, you can easily collect information of this level. What's more, the Black City Chamber of Commerce created by the idiot is out of control now, and that powerful woman Cassandra is also missing. Now any kind of information can be produced from the Chamber of Commerce's intelligence website, which can't cost a lot of money."
Michelle's face became more and more serious. She was not a stupid woman. In addition to what she saw and heard in Montenegro prison not long ago, how could she not guess Lena's background at this time? Although she had no good feelings for this bad city, when she thought that in the near future, countless undead creatures might flood Montenegro and even the entire continent, her heart would twitch and hurt like a twitch.
The Undead Natural Scourge is the enemy of the entire continent and the public enemy of the entire world... But at least for now, the woman in front of her is the only person who can help him find Goron. Compared with Goron, what is Montenegro?
Michelle is not the kind of indecisive woman who has a mother-in-law and mother. After thinking it through, she no longer struggles and hesitates in her eyes.
"Since you are my nephew, Goria, no, an ally of Goron, then I don't need to hide it from you anymore. I think you have heard that Goron's appearance is almost exactly the same as his uncle, my brother Amanda Hugwen. He only needs a little makeup and disguise. It is difficult for people who are not with Rixi to recognize him. This time Amanda did not die in the Montenegro Prison as the outside world said. He was rescued by us. He was the one who left the Montenegro Prison with me that night. As for the real Goron, he should still stay in the Montenegro Prison."
Rena listened calmly, unable to see what she thought of Goron's whimsical rescue plan. After hearing the news that Goron was stranded in Montenegro Prison and then lost contact with Michel, a hint of confusion and worry flashed through her eyes.
"As far as I know, the Brahadley family has been secretly carrying out a plan. Judging from the data in the past decade, the people who were imprisoned in the Royal Prison of Montenegro are very different from the total number of people who were released in ten years and who were declared unexpected deaths by the Brahadley family. Especially some soldiers from civilian origins, and the children of the declining nobles who are good at strength but no one pays attention to, are often missing. I have always suspected that the Brahadley family was conducting a secret slave trade or doing human magic experiments. But their family's confidentiality work is really good. It took me more than ten years to find any exact information."
"But haven't you occupied Violet Castle now? Haven't you found anything yet?" Michel said as she looked at the light ball in Rena's hand. He knew that in the necromancer magic, there were many ways to use the soul to obtain intelligence.
Of course, Lena knew what Michelle meant. She squeezed the light ball in her hand again and said, "Do you think I have never done a soul search for him? But even I am a little impressed. The Brahadley family's confidential work has done this. If someone forcibly investigates the souls of their tribe, it will trigger a hidden magic trap and destroy some of his memories together with their souls in advance, thereby obstructing any soul exploration methods. As soon as I entered Violet Castle, I investigated everyone's souls, and even the dead were not spared. As a result, except for this little bastard and the old housekeeper who was silenced by him, everyone else was unaware of the secret hidden in the Royal Prison of Montenegro. As for this housekeeper..."
"Hmph, I have to thank this stupid little bastard. It is precisely because of his extravagance that he killed his own housekeeper that the magic trap hidden deep in the old housekeeper's soul cannot be activated normally and failed to destroy the relevant souls and memories in time. When I investigated the corpse, I finally gained more or less."
"What do you know?" Michelle was immediately excited after finally obtaining information about Goron.
"Don't worry, although the soul trap was not activated normally, the old housekeeper was dead after all, and his soul naturally dissipated a lot. The information I really obtained was still very limited. I only knew that an ancient ruin was hidden underground in the Royal Prison of Montenegro, which might contain the power to subvert the entire empire. It was just the most critical detail, and the method to enter the ancient ruins. This part of the memory had disappeared. If you want to further investigate, you can only go to Montenegro Prison. But you also know that it is now occupied by the emperor's special envoy and refuses to approach anyone. I even began to doubt that they probably already knew something, so they dominated the place and were reluctant to leave."
Seeing Michelle's worried expression, Lena had to continue persuading: "Don't you understand your nephew? He is a little monster that cannot be measured by common sense. There is nothing impossible for him. I guess he has discovered the ancient ruins and has launched an investigation. Of course, there should be more or less dangers. The Brahadley family has been operating there for so long, and there will definitely be some safety measures, but I believe these will definitely not hinder your nephew. Maybe it won't take long to see him before you, and it is very likely that he will return with a full load."
Although he knew that this was comforting himself, Michelle was in a much better mood. He looked at Lena, and the corner of his mouth suddenly tilted, revealing a hint of strangeness, and said, "How did I find out that you seem to know Goron better than me? But as far as I know, although you have formed an alliance, you have not been in contact for a long time, and it is far away from now."
"I have exchanged his soul fragments with each other, so I have always had a vague sense of him. Even if I don't know what the little devil is thinking, doing, and physical condition, I can roughly know his position and thus infer some of his experiences. Do you know, not long ago, I felt that he once left this world and went to the sky and among the stars... This is something that even the gods can't do. I really can't imagine what he has experienced. But he still came back safely, so I think it's impossible to defeat him in a mere ancient ruins under a prison."
The two women looked at each other and smiled, and the relationship suddenly became much closer. The obscure hostility that surrounded the two because of "natural disasters" almost disappeared. Although Lena did not directly agree to help Michelle, Michelle at least had some information about the whereabouts of Goron, so she would not have any random thoughts.
"By the way, that man who was regarded as Goron's house arrest by your tribe, Amanda, what's going on with him? Don't you think about how to rescue him?"
Regarding his brother, Michelle had a different attitude: "Since the rumors that 'Amanda' has died in Montenegro Prison dispersed, my brother's mission has ended. Anyway, no matter who he does, he can't be himself again, so let him stay in Mandala Castle and continue to pretend to be 'Golia'. Anyway, my 'smart' elders will not treat him badly."
