Chapter 382: Clue I

Nineteen-year-old silver is rare even in the entire Emerald Kingdom.

Aside from world-recognized geniuses like Grand Duke Emerald and King Xiti, nineteen-year-old Baiyin is enough for anyone to pay attention to, because they have already shown the potential to become gold-level.

Ten years, twenty years...

With the abundant energy brought by the strength of the silver level, Dean has a chance to reach the gold level before the age of sixty.

And nineteen-year-old Dean has forty-one years.

Forty-one years is obviously more than enough for a genius who reached the silver level at the age of nineteen.

Not to mention, Dean still has a top talent: giant change!

The three people present figured out the key points almost instantly.

And the expressions of the three of them suddenly changed——

The Grand Duke's swordsman became more and more apologetic.

The old butler nodded in relief.

The old woman's expression changed, and then a smile appeared on her face.

"Okay, I'm willing to ask for such a promise - three days, is it enough?"

The old woman nodded and gave a time limit.

"no problem!"

Dean replied in the affirmative.

"Then, after three days, I'll wait for your reply!"

The old woman was taken aback, obviously not expecting that Dean didn't ask for too much time, but of course she wouldn't mind about it.

A simple verbal agreement without any contract.

However, the two present will naturally not break the contract.

...

"Dean..."

It was still the meeting room, but the old housekeeper and the old lady had already left, leaving only Dean and the archduke swordsman, who looked at Dean. He stopped talking.

"Instructor, as a friend, if I think I have the ability, I should help you!"

Dean said with a smile.

"It's just that, have you ever thought that my aunt might make some other demands-some promises that don't violate your bottom line and beliefs, but make it difficult for you to make?"

There was eagerness in the words of the Grand Duke Swordsman.

"Think about it, but it's based on the premise that I haven't found any useful clues! What if I do?"

Dean asked back with a smile, looking confident.

"But, but..."

The Archduke Swordsman wanted to refute something, but the words came to his lips, but he couldn't say anything—in the face of Dean's kindness, the Grand Duke Swordsman's character was simply unable to say anything.

"Do you know where the dungeon of the old castle is? Let's start with the nearest one first?"

Dean stood up and asked.

"Ok!"

The Archduke Swordsman nodded.

The two walked towards the dungeon of the castle one after the other.

...

In another small conference room, the old housekeeper and old lady who might be missing in the deployment and emergency measures were discussing in a low voice. I heard the guard's report to Dean and the Grand Duke's swordsman.

The old woman couldn't help laughing softly.

"Actually, you can use a more 'kind' way instead of being a bad person like this!"

The old housekeeper looked at the chuckling old woman and couldn't help but said.

"David, do you know what words I have experienced the most after becoming the patriarch of the Detta family?"

The old woman looked at the old housekeeper.

"what?"

The old housekeeper asked curiously.

"I can't help myself—it's not that I don't want to do it, but that I can't do it, because... as the patriarch of the Deta family, I need to consider the interests of the entire family!"

The old woman restrained her smile and replied calmly.

"Your Highness, I often say this... Since you are wearing a crown, you can no longer bow your head, because it will not only make people see your cowardice, but also make the crown fall to the ground - Little Qiangwei is really lucky, With an aunt like you!"

The old housekeeper sighed.

"No, no, I also have my own plans—compared to the promise of a gold-level powerhouse,

What I like even more is... having a gold-level powerhouse! "

The old woman shook her head, then smiled lightly.

It's just that the smile this time is a little bit cunning.

And seeing such a slightly sly smile, I thought about the performance of the Grand Duke's swordsman before. The old butler couldn't help frowning, and then. He smiled wryly.

"Dean has ladies he likes, and. I hear they have a great relationship!"

The old housekeeper gave his last advice.

"David, don't you think that as a man, you have the least position to say such words? Have you forgotten how you behaved when you were young? This has nothing to do with the so-called liking or love, it's just It's just a normal possessive desire - even if I don't like it, I don't want others to touch it, once someone touches it... I want to cut off the other person's claws!"

The old lady stared at the old butler at first, and talked slowly in the old butler's increasingly helpless expression.

"Then, what about... Little Rose?"

The old butler, who was unable to refute, could only express his worries.

"Little Qiangwei? I'm not against temporary child's play, because it's the best way to release pressure, but it doesn't mean that she can live like this forever - don't you think it's easy for Dean to correct her? A candidate with bad habits?"

The old woman frowned and snorted softly.

"So, you set up such a game at will - it can not only test Dean's ability, but also bring the relationship between Dean and Little Rose closer... And, more importantly, no matter whether you win or lose, you have nothing to lose... Riley, should I say you never change?"

The old housekeeper sighed and shook his head.

"I haven't changed? If I had changed, would you have chosen me then?"

The old woman suddenly stared at the old housekeeper with piercing eyes.

"I, I...the defense map here is not complete, I'll go get it!"

The old butler opened his mouth, made a very bad excuse, and fled in embarrassment.

"I haven't changed, David, have you changed? You have been so timid since the beginning of the year..."

The old woman's voice became lower and lower, finally. turned into a sigh.

...

In the dungeon of the old castle, Dean saw the thief who delivered the letter.

And when he saw each other for the first time, Dean knew it. The other party was indeed a desperate guy, not the so-called An Zi, a dead man or something like that - without Yin Zi, a dead man should have the composure and calmness. The panic was completely instinctive, and even Dean could see the fear of death in the opponent's eyes.

And this shouldn't happen to a dark man, a dead man.

"Please, please, please forgive me! I really don't know anything!"

The thief was hung on a wooden stake, his hands were hung on the highest point, his ankles were covered with fine steel chains, and his legs were cut backwards. He bypassed a wooden stake, but delicately, without any contact between his legs and the wooden stake.

This kind of design is enough to make the opponent's body hang in the air, and he can only rely on the same bound arms to maintain the weight of the body, but it also gives the opponent a hint-the legs can be supported.

However, those two fine steel chains have already controlled everything.

However, the other party didn't know.

Therefore, in the inquiry. Physically-acquired hints, plus some illusions and drugs, the interrogator could. Get everything you want quickly and completely.

Dean, who had been trained in the Brotherhood, was very familiar with this set of interrogation procedures.

Dean looked at the opponent's body again——

It is covered with all kinds of scars: the skin is ripped apart, and the bones can be seen deep.

Dean could at least distinguish lashes, knife cuts, chars, and impalements that resembled arrows.

Undoubtedly, only with such a seemingly reliable clue, Earl Detta showed no mercy, making this thief feel that life would be worse than death.

And precisely because of this, the thief was already on the verge of collapse, which made Dean's questioning very smooth——

"what's your name?"

"Mike!"

"What is it for?"

"Rogue!"

"Which area do you usually work in?"

"Near the Nangang Pier!"

"The letter. Did you accept it yourself, or was it assigned by the union?"

"I took it myself!"

"The person who sent you the letter. What did he look like?"

"Masked, cloaked, hoarse voice. Can't see face!"

"Is it male or female?"

"do not know!"

"Who was around at the time?"

"do not know!"

"What buildings are around—restaurants, taverns, or your stronghold?"

"There is a restaurant, very close to our stronghold!"

"Where is the specific location?"

“Just off the second main road in the Docklands!”

...

Dean and the thief asked and answered.

Finally, after the thief explained all the specific locations clearly, this questioning ended.

"Please let me go! Let me go!"

The thief begged like this at the end.

"I can't do anything about the mistakes you made, but what I'm doing now is beneficial to you-three days, this is a time limit, if I do it, you will be punished at most, but you will not be hanged Die, but... If I don't make it, not only will I be unlucky, you'll be hanged too! So, man, we're grasshoppers on a rope from now on, and if you want to live, you better think Come to think of it, what else have you forgotten?"

Facing the thieves' prayers, Dean did not appear cold and heartless, but spoke in a very gentle but helpless tone.

"Don't worry, I won't lie to you—even, I didn't know you at all before today, and I also just came to Nangang County, but I encountered a big trouble... Think about it, see you in Nangang County Have you ever met a noble like me?"

Facing the hesitation of the thief, Dean added.

"No, no!"

The thief shook his head.

"So, think about it, do you have any clues?"

Dean asked.

"If I did, would you..."

"No, no, buddy, you didn't get my point - I can't promise you anything now, only if I really get to the source of everything that's been going on in Southport County lately, and we'll be able to sort out our troubles at the same time, including Save your life!"

Dean directly interrupted the thief who wanted to bargain, and said very bluntly.

The thief looked at Dean, and Dean also stared at him without dodging.

In the end, the thief gritted his teeth——

"I just left the stronghold that day and went to the restaurant——Nok, and asked me to meet there, and then, I met that damn guy on the way!"

said the thief.

"Nock?"

Dean raised an eyebrow.

"He is also a thief, but his skills are not very good, and he often acts with me-he is good at scouting out news! I'm sure he tricked me! Bastard, if I find him, he must Get rid of this guy!"

The thief became more and more angry as he talked, and finally, he even shouted out.

However, such shouts obviously touched his injury, causing him to let out a burst of screams. .

"Hey man, calm down - I'm going to have a good time with this Nock, can you provide him with a place to stay?"

Dean waved his hand and continued to ask.

"certainly!"

The thief nodded.

ps first update~

The second is more decadent, before zero o'clock, try to code out - relatives came to the house in the afternoon, with two bear children, so decadent that there is no way to code...

And more importantly, give lucky money! !

Scratch it... I haven't received the New Year's money for many years - every New Year's Eve, I put the New Year's money under my pillow by myself... That bitter feeling makes me feel sad and cry when I think about it!
