Chapter 158: Trying to form a team to investigate the sinking area
"Ha, boring women always like to meddle in things that they shouldn't be involved in."
Knowing that a fierce friendly match with Mo Cheng was impossible, Ralph pulled his hand back, and it was unclear whether he was complaining about Margaret coming out to stop the upcoming fight between him and Mo Cheng, or alluding to what they had discussed in the office before.
"Priest, if you are interested, you can come to the Knights' headquarters. I believe you will like it there. As fellow travelers pursuing power, you and I must be friends."
Ralph could smell a scent from Mo Cheng, a scent of the same kind. He didn't care about interpersonal relationships, didn't care about the intersection of forces, and even less about the life and death of others.
The only thing that matters is one's own strength and the need to prove one's strength.
In order to prove his strength, Ralph became the leader of the Knights. He could also see that Mo Cheng was not in trouble for such a meaningless reason as the house being affected. The priest in front of him just wanted to find someone strong enough to beat him to death and get pleasure from the battle.
"The Knights' headquarters is spacious and sturdy, and there are some fun games. Believe me, Priest, you will like the Knights' headquarters."
Ralph tried to cheat , and this behavior obviously made the head of the law enforcement team very unhappy. The wind blade tore through the air and slashed towards Ralph, but before it hit Ralph, the sudden burst of lightning around Ralph had already offset the wind blade.
"Ralph, Priest Mo Cheng is the medical aid of the Law Enforcement Corps. Please regulate your words and actions."
"Hahaha, you stingy woman. I didn't say anything when you pulled people out of the Knights Order before."
Ralph used the power of the wind blade to jump out of the law enforcement headquarters.
"Mo Cheng, what do you want to talk to me about today?"
Margaret stepped aside and walked into the office, motioning him to come in and talk. She knew Mo Cheng's character well, and he wouldn't come to her if he hadn't encountered any problems.
"Today I took Lilia to become an adventurer and encountered some problems in the sewer."
Mo Cheng recounted in detail the people and events he encountered in the sewer, and also gave a detailed explanation of the dried corpses and conjectures.
"Someone is carrying out brutal massacres in the sewers?" Margaret frowned and flipped through the records on her desk. "But the law enforcement team hasn't received any reports of missing or dead people recently. It seems that the people who died in the sewers should be..."
The Enforcement Corps has effective control over only a few areas: the rich area, the magic area, and the civilian area. The Enforcement Corps has not received any reports, so the most likely possibility is that the deaths came from areas not under the control of the Enforcement Corps, such as the noble area, the central area, and the sinking area.
It seems that we already have the answer to where those people came from.
Margaret tapped her fingers on the desk. "Mo Cheng, I need your help. I want you to come with me to investigate the sinking area."
Stunned for a moment, Mo Cheng did not expect Margaret to be so reckless. She even had no idea of investigating the sinking area at this time, but only indirectly supported Gulard to explore for him.
Because the sinking area involves the black industry of the law professionals, although Mo Cheng is not inferior to any law professionals in the encounter battle, but for the market of his important human experiment materials, he knows with his that there will definitely be many traps for investigators.
Those who are prepared for the law are always involved in trouble.
"I think you should think about it carefully before making a decision."
The sinking area is the shadow and abscess of Fairhaven, and it is also the private interest reserve of many nobles. Going to investigate will undoubtedly put oneself in opposition to the gangs, nobles, and mages.
Mo Cheng was naturally not afraid. It was because the system had very few ways to gain experience that he was able to suppress his desire to kill with great self-control every day. Once he was really targeted by a group of people, it would be like untying his own heavy and useless moral shackles.
But Margaret is different. She is the legitimate daughter of Lauren Frost, a great nobleman in Aundair.
"I have thought about it in detail. It is necessary to investigate the sinking area." Margaret said seriously, with no intention of joking at all. "Mo Cheng, can I trust you?"
Before Mo Cheng could answer, Margaret laughed first, "Ha, what nonsense am I talking about? You are much more trustworthy than Ralph."
Originally, he wanted to say no, but when he heard that he was being compared to Ralph, Mo Cheng sat up a little straighter and said, "Let's talk about your problem first."
"We have received intelligence about the escaped prisoners from the prison. They are hiding in the sinking area right now. It is worth mentioning that many nobles have recently tried to impeach the work of the Law Enforcement Corps and are persuading the Queen to limit or take back the law enforcement power of the Law Enforcement Corps."
"We have already caught the fugitives! As long as we can catch them, we will know who is trying to endanger Fairhaven's safety."
Listening to Margaret's words and thinking about the conversation in the office he had heard before, Mo Cheng carefully considered his words and said, "So, just now, Captain Ralph..."
"Ah, did you hear what I just said? It's just as you thought. Someone is about to be caught , and they want to ask Ralph to come forward."
Margaret gently touched the Dawn Wind beside her, her eyes full of sharpness, "If it was before, I might be stopped, but now with the Dawn Wind, Ralph's body can't block my sword."
"You completed [Wind of Dawn] just to make sure that Captain Ralph couldn't stop you?"
"That's right."
Mo Cheng pressed his nose and exclaimed in his heart, Wow! It turned out that after the escaped prisoner appeared, Margaret had been trying to deal with the whole thing.
Even possible obstacles were anticipated, and weapons were prepared in advance.
"I want to ask, what will you do if you find those fugitives?"
Mo Cheng was a little worried that she would start a fight in the sinking area. It wasn't a big deal for anything else, but the main thing was that if he did that, he would most likely lose a stable source of experience.
In a sense, killing all the gangsters, nobles, and mages who have industries in the sinking area is a good thing to gain merit.
"Don't worry, I won't start a war there. As long as we find the clues, things will be much easier afterwards."
"I remember that the Laurenfrost family is also aristocratic..."
" Mo Cheng, you don't have any dealings with nobles, so you probably don't understand." Margaret replied in a very nonchalant manner, "Laurent Frost, the wild wolf of the north, the queen's hound, is probably what he is called among the nobles."
In other words, does this mean that the fight between the queen and the nobles has begun to escalate?
Margaret's behavior was definitely not out of boredom. Combined with Ralph's previous visit, the meaning behind it is very intriguing.
