Chapter 221: Revelation From the Goddess of Life and Wisdom

September 23, the eleventh game cycle, the Endless Sea World.

The bright sunshine at noon shines into the garden full of laurel trees.

The old fat housekeeper looked at Miss Warner and the strange gentleman walking in front, and listened to the maids' discussions and couldn't help but worry.

"Who is that gentleman? The young lady didn't even eat in order to talk to him!"

"I don't know, but he must be a superhuman. The young lady is interested in superhumans."

"But that man was only wearing a shirt, without a coat, and he was dirty. He was too undignified!"

"I mean, our young lady is the same, dirty and dusty. I just reminded her to wash up, but she ignored me."

"The young lady and her friends just came from the outer city. What happened over there?"

When several maids were talking in a low voice, a follower interrupted:

"I heard that something happened over there. There are scary strange insects everywhere, and some of them can fly. Many people died!"

"Ah? How could this be?"

"Strange insects? Why don't we see them here? I just went to the kitchen and didn't hear anyone who went out of the house to buy anything about them?"

"Aiya, I don't know about this."

The follower also felt very strange. They were in the same city, and some insects could fly. Why didn't they see them in the inner city?

"Maybe because we are in the inner city, those strange bugs are blocked by the city wall?"

The attendant scratched his head and guessed randomly, but then he changed the subject and said with certainty:

"But the lady must have encountered strange bugs when she was in the school in the dock area.

And the lady just said that it was that gentleman who saved her. I guess the lady must have encountered strange bugs and was saved by that gentleman."

"Is that gentleman very powerful?"

"I don't know. I only heard that the people of the Earth Ring were cleaning up bugs in the dock area."

The attendant said what he heard:

"I think that gentleman must be a transcendent of the Earth Ring. Since he is a person of the Earth Ring, he must be very powerful.

Maybe his coat was lost when he rescued the lady."

"Wow, I suddenly feel so romantic, just like in the movie."

The maid who just disliked wearing only a shirt said.

"But it's time to eat now. Should we remind the lady to eat?"

A maid in charge of food and drink talked about eating again.

"I think the young lady likes that gentleman very much. I remember that the young lady hasn't been so happy for a long time. She has become more talkative today."

"Yes, but should we tell the master about this? After all..."

"No need. The young lady can also have her own friends."

The housekeeper's wife, who had been silent all the time, interrupted them.

Sighing in her heart, the older housekeeper's wife remembered.

Mr. Warner once told her that he intended to let Mr. Lai Yin, who had the title personally conferred by the king, be his son-in-law.

The older housekeeper's wife certainly would not have any objections, but on the other hand, the housekeeper's wife, who watched the young lady grow up, also felt sad for her young lady.

Now is not like before. Young people can decide their own marriages, but the young lady still has to be arranged by the master and has no freedom in major life events.

The housekeeper's wife has worked in the Warner family for decades and knows that even if Mr. Warner dotes on his daughter, he will let her do whatever she wants in small matters.

But when it comes to deciding the direction of his daughter's life, Mr. Warner will become extremely persistent.

For example, never let his daughter contact dangerous extraordinary people, and for example, who to marry.

Moreover, the housekeeper's wife had once sounded out the young lady's attitude, and she felt that the young lady hated Mr. Lai Yin.

So at the moment, the housekeeper's wife decided not to tell Mr. Warner about the young lady's new friend.

To avoid another conflict between the father and daughter, and then prompt Mr. Warner to put the issue of marrying his daughter on the agenda.

...

"Don't you think it's strange?"

Looking at the quiet and beautiful sky, Li Feng said to Huang Yanyan:

"Why is there not a single bug in the inner city?

Even if the Ring of the Earth and the guards are on guard, there won't be no bugs in the inner city.

After all, some bugs can fly."

"Indeed, it's too strange."

Huang Yanyan thought about what she had seen and heard along the way. She really hadn't seen any bugs since she entered the inner city.

"So I think there must be someone controlling these strange bugs."

Li Feng said his guess:

"It's very likely the lava lord cocoon you mentioned."

Li Feng didn't mind sharing what he had investigated with the official research institute.

He was not 100% sure that he could seal the cocoon. If the situation developed out of control, the more the institute knew, the better.

"You mean... the cocoon is in Fengxi City?"

Huang Yanyan was very surprised. She knew the content of X's mission and guessed whether the cocoon was related to Fengxi City.

But even if she guessed it in advance, Huang Yanyan was still frightened.

Because it was the Lava Lord after all, a creature with too many unknowns and only existed in secret history.

"It's hard to say."

Shaking his head lightly, Li Feng said frankly:

"He may also be at sea, or someone may be helping him wake up.

I heard that the sea has been uneasy recently, maybe it has something to do with the cocoon."

"Not only at sea, Fengxi City is also uneasy."

Huang Yanyan associated the possibilities and told Li Feng what she knew:

"There is a relic called the Fire Seal Orb. As long as you pay a small piece of raw meat that is not fish, it can help you quickly deliver letters.

In the Endless Sea, official players use it to communicate with each other.

A few days ago, a colleague who lives on another island wrote to me and told me that he said that someone found several unusually strange corpses in the reef cave on the seaside of Wind's End City.

Those corpses didn't have any blood on their bodies. They should have been caused by some forbidden spells. "

Huang Yanyan said it normally, but Li Feng was secretly frightened.

How did the official players know that he or Haizan found a bloodless corpse in the reef cave?

Thinking quickly in his mind, Li Feng roughly thought of a possibility.

Since Huang Yanyan said that it was her colleagues who lived on other islands who wrote to her, it was probably the official players who learned about it when Kestrel reported the matter of the bloodless corpse to her superiors.

So, there are official players in the headquarters of Earth Ring?

Li Feng took note of this and continued to listen carefully to Huang Yanyan.

"So I deduce that there are extraordinary people who use forbidden spells, hiding in Wind Breath City."

Huang Yanyan said her guess:

"Judging from the forbidden spells he used, he is most likely a Soul Eater of a high level."

Li Feng nodded slightly and agreed with Huang Yanyan's judgment.

"But there is another thing. You know Governor Fell's illegitimate son Jory."

Huang Yanyan lowered her voice and said to Li Feng mysteriously.

"Yeah. I know."

Speechless, Li Feng realized that he was about to hear the secret about Qiao Li again.

Too many people have told him mysteriously about this thing he planned.

‘These eight achievements are my price. ’

Li Feng laughed at himself, then adjusted his mentality to listen to gossip and listened to Huang Yanyan's story.

"I got some news. The cause of Qiao Li's death was the same as that of the people who were thrown into the cave. There was not a drop of blood in his body."

Listening to Huang Yanyan's words, Li Feng realized that she really knew a lot.

Soul Eater Mathas kills people and takes their blood, which is used to maintain his and the Governor's soul fusion spell.

And he took advantage of this and imitated Mathas's method to kill Qiao Li, which attracted the attention of all forces.

"Maybe it was done by the same person, the Soul Eater."

Intentionally or unintentionally, Li Feng echoed and gave some guidance.

But Huang Yanyan shook her head obviously worriedly:

"It can't be just one person. Based on my experience in criminal investigation, the person who killed Qiao Li was imitating the crime."

Li Feng:!

‘Good guy, how did she guess that. ’

"Copycat crime? Why?"

"The targets chosen by the Soul Eaters are mostly outsiders. They have no social connections in Wind's Breath City, and it is difficult to find them even if they go missing."

Huang Yanyan began to explain from her perspective:

“So it can be concluded that the Soul Eater needs blood, but he focuses on hiding and he doesn’t want to be discovered.

But what about the person who killed Jory?

The Governor's favorite child, the protagonist of the celebration party, is in full view of everyone...

Although his killing methods are the same as those of the Soul Eater, their focus on hiding is completely different.

This person feels as if he wants to expose the Soul Eater to the public. "

After hearing Huang Yanyan's analysis, Li Feng felt mixed.

It is true that his tactics can confuse the natives of the Endless Sea, but for Huang Yanyan, who has modern criminal investigation knowledge, it is still too childish.

‘Oh…why is it such an unlucky thing? ’

Li Fengzheng was in a complicated mood. When he was thinking about whether to tell Huang Yanyan more, he heard Huang Yanyan say again:

"Actually, this is not the point. The point is that I saw the revelation of the goddess of wisdom and life in the candlelight. She told me who was the murderer of Qiao Li."

"What?"

Li Feng was shocked and frowned subconsciously. It was true that Huang Yanyan was a person praying for light, but what was the revelation in the candlelight?

"This is how people pray to the light. They pray to the goddess, and the goddess sometimes responds from the candlelight."

Seeing Li Feng's surprise, Huang Yanyan thought that Li Feng didn't understand the people who prayed for light, so she explained to him:

"Jory's death struck me as strange, but I couldn't investigate, so I tried to pray to the goddess.

The goddess did not respond to me at first, but after I persisted for a few days, the goddess told me the murderer in the candlelight. "

"who is it?"

Li Feng asked hesitantly, he was a little confused.

Of course it was Hazan who killed Qiao Li with his own hands, but the mastermind behind the scenes...

When Huang Yanyan thought about what Li Feng asked, her brows furrowed even deeper, as if she was in bigger trouble.

She didn't answer but asked:

"Do you know that Lai Yin who has the title of the king?"

In the laurel garden in the afternoon, the autumn wind seemed to be still for a moment.

Li Feng's mind was in a mess, and he didn't know why things developed like this.

"You... saw him in the candlelight?"

Li Feng asked, he felt it shouldn't be, because obviously Huang Yanyan didn't know that he was Lai Yin.

"That's not true. My rank is too low and I can only feel some of the inspiration from Mo Lake."

Huang Yanyan explained, but soon she said with certainty:

"But I can confirm that it was Lai Yin who killed Qiao Li. Even if he didn't do it himself, he was the mastermind behind it."

"Why, what reason does he have for doing this."

Seeing that it was a foregone conclusion that Huang Yanyan discovered the truth, Li Feng asked back while deciding whether to tell Huang Yanyan the truth.

"I reported the revelation I got to my superiors, and they analyzed that Lai Yin is a member of the king."

Huang Yanyan said, she, Qi Heng and other official players guessed the results:

"The king and the Fell family have always had some grudges. I guess the kingdom asked Lai Yin to do this this time, killing the heir of the governor.

But after years of peace and quiet, I don’t know why the king suddenly became angry.

However, through this incident, I discovered that Lai Yin is a very scheming and sinister person. "

Huang Yanyan bit her lower lip, looking worried, as if facing a crisis:

"Layin not only killed Jory, he destroyed Jory, even though Jory was a bastard."

"What's the meaning?"

There were so many surprises today that it was difficult for Li Feng to guess what else Huang Yanyan would find.

"As you may have heard, Jory is not Governor Fell's child.

The governor was very angry when he learned the truth. He angrily threw Jory's body into the sea, but..."

Huang Yanyan explained:

"I think the mastermind Lai Yin made a mistake, or he made a mistake deliberately.

This is Jory's life experience. From a genetic point of view, he should be the child of the Governor. "

Seeing that Li Feng seemed confused, Huang Yanyan continued:

"I know that only a paternity test can be accurate, but as far as I know, Jory, Mrs. Weiss, and the Governor all have blonde hair.

But Moros, who was mistaken for Jory's father, had dark brown hair.

Judging by a certain probability, if Jory is really Moros's child, then he will inherit Moros' darker hair.

Mrs. Weiss had a relationship with the Governor and Moros at that time, probably at the same time.

But in this world, without a paternity test, it is impossible for Lai Yin to have definite evidence.

But in the uncertain situation, he still chose to kill people and punish his heart.

The deceased cannot rest in peace, the living cannot let go, and all parties involved are humiliated.

Therefore, Lai Yin's heart... seems to be far less kind than rumored. "

Huang Yanyan sneered slightly as she spoke, and then she turned to concern and said to Li Feng:

"I have to contact him because of the institute's orders, but you must be careful about this person. It's best to stay away from him."

Seeing Huang Yanyan's extremely serious attitude, Li Feng no longer knew what to say.

As for Qiao Li's hair color, Li Feng had actually discovered it a long time ago, but to be honest, he didn't care about the true appearance.

When he and Shia were planning this matter, they could ignore morality, but now facing Huang Yanyan, they really couldn't tell that it was me who did this.

"Maybe Lai Yin just wants to eliminate harm for the people. You also said that Qiao Li is a bastard."

Subconsciously, Li Feng defended himself.

"It's impossible!"

Unexpectedly, Huang Yanyan denied it and said with a smile:

“Based on indigenous perspectives, Lai Yin would not think Qiao Li’s behavior was excessive.

The nobles have privileges and can do whatever they want, that is their deep-rooted idea, unless..."

Because Li Feng made the assumption, although Huang Yanyan thought it was impossible, she was still willing to follow Li Feng's train of thought and think about it.

Then come to a bold hypothesis:

"Unless Lai Yin is also a player! He has the same three views as us."

Li Feng:!

"But then again, players should be more cautious and not do such dangerous things for no reason."

Huang Yanyan continued to reason:

"Unless killing Qiao Li is a system task, but...

According to the task assigned to

Could it be...

Just like X, the mission the player received in Lai Yin was also to deal with the governor?

But Lai Yin is very scheming. He knows that the governor is difficult to deal with, so he chooses to start with Qiao Li? "

Huang Yanyan was also frightened by her own reasoning as she spoke. She looked at Li Feng to hear his opinion.

Li Feng was about to collapse inside.

'Why can this girl deduce the truth from just a word from me...'

In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Li Feng replied with a few words and immediately ended the topic.

"By the way, you just said that the institute ordered you to contact Lai Yin. Why?"

Thinking of the letter Huang Yanyan had written to himself, Li Feng asked about it.

Huang Yanyan felt obviously helpless and irritable when she heard this. She replied:

"Lai Yin is a very knowledgeable person. The institute wants to learn about ancient history through him."

After hearing this, Li Feng understood in his heart, thinking that it might be difficult for him to meet her as Lai Yin recently, so he simply asked:

"Maybe I know what the institute wants to know."
