Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 138 The Mystery Revealed
Just as Richard and Qiao Maili were dealing with each other, a guard mage rushed into the City Lord's Mansion on the other side and met Xingge under the guidance of the guards.

The guard mage knelt on one knee in front of Xingge and said anxiously:

"Lord City Lord. This is bad. Among the 13 guard mages we sent to the southern suburbs to investigate the Mechanical Moon, 6 are missing. They were all there during the regular meeting this morning, but they disappeared in the afternoon. We have tried all the means we can use, and all the magic and equipment cannot contact them.

According to our investigation, they all have one thing in common, that is, they have all had contact with the investigation team from Rainbow City. We believe that they were most likely kidnapped by the investigation team from the capital."

"There is such a thing." Xingge frowned and shook his head. "It shouldn't be. I know the two people sent by the teacher very well. They don't have the courage to touch my guard wizard. There may be a third party involved. Wait, I'll ask."

Xingge took out the magic book, closed her eyes and patted them gently. After a moment, she opened her eyes and her expression became much more serious.

"They said they didn't kidnap our guard wizard and are willing to accept all my investigations. They are very cooperative. Send a few people to watch them. Don't lock them up in the cell. Just interrogate them in the City Lord's Mansion.

I will activate the magic circle in their rooms, making it harder to get out of their rooms than a prison cell."

Xingge stood up and frowned, saying, "If it was really my two junior brothers who kidnapped the guard mages, then at most they were just eager to get the information about Mechanical Moon as soon as possible, and those guard mages would not be in danger of their lives.

But now it seems that it is probably not the case. According to my junior brother the Holy Hammer, he was also attacked by an unknown person.

I am a little worried that there are still some hostile forces left in the southern suburbs that have not been completely eliminated. If so, this is not a problem that you guard mages can handle. After you finish dealing with the investigation team, notify the Eye of the Earth to come to me. "

"Yes, City Lord." The Guard Mage quickly bowed his head and agreed. He noticed Xingge's expression and cautiously tried to test him:
"Lord City Lord, if there is no problem with the investigation team, then there is another person who deserves suspicion."

"Who?"

"Yes... Mr. Richard. Mr. Richard has been visiting the southern suburbs with the investigation team for most of the day today. Richard has come into contact with everyone the investigation team has come into contact with, including the six missing guard mages."

Xingge was silent for a moment and tapped his forehead in pain.

"Tsk, why is it Richard again?"

The guard mage asked tentatively, "Lord City Lord, how do we deal with Mr. Richard?"

"Why are you asking me? Is he special? Deal with it impartially!"

"Yes!"

"Wait... Tsk. He has no magic power, so be gentle when you interrogate him."

"Yes--"

……

……

"That's right, Mr. Richard, you can't leave the City Lord's Mansion now. Please come with us." Looking at the serious dark elf guard in front of him, Richard was silent.

Richard stretched out his hands very naturally, put them together and raised them horizontally.

The dark elf guard asked in confusion: "Why are you doing this?"

"Put on the magic shackles. Don't worry, I know the process and I will cooperate." Richard raised his chin proudly.

"Why do you sound so proud?" The dark elf guard didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Forget it, everyone knows that you have no magic power, why should I do this? Besides, we are old friends who have been through thick and thin together, there is no need to do this."

"Hehe. That's even better." Richard laughed, put down his hands, and then winked and said: "Sheriff Ota, you got promoted? Isn't this the squadron leader's uniform? The last time I saw you, you were still the regional sheriff, and we went on a travel night together.

Regional police chief, squadron member, squadron deputy, squadron leader, wow, triple jump! Rapid rise to the top! "

"Haha. Speaking of which, I have to thank you. I originally thought that I had offended Sheriff John by forcibly blocking the travel night, and my future in life would be bleak.

But I didn't expect that Sheriff John was secretly colluding with foreign forces. After I was exiled to the suburbs by Sheriff John, the Lord of Xingge City sent someone to find me and ordered me to secretly search for evidence of Sheriff John's rebellion. "

As Ota was talking, he bowed from a distance in the direction of Xingge's office.

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and have made some achievements. The city lord has valued me and promoted me to squadron leader. Mr. Richard, you are the recipient of the Silver Cross Medal and have made outstanding contributions. The city lord is worried about others interrogating you, fearing that they will use violence against you without knowing the limits, so he specifically asked me to interrogate you in person.

Although you don't even have magic power and it is almost impossible for you to threaten 6 well-trained guard mages, what if you have some special abilities?

So I must enforce the law impartially! After much thought, I decided to use the most stringent method to interrogate you severely. "

Ota grabbed Richard's wrist and dragged him towards the banquet hall.

"People are most likely to tell the truth when they are drunk. I have prepared good wine and good food for you. I will definitely get you drunk and then interrogate you.

To prevent you from being a determined prisoner, I have hired two of the best-looking and most skilled massage girls from the Star Club to break your will. I guarantee that your entire body will be soft except for one hard spot. "

"Oh oh oh! This interrogation method is too cruel." Richard said sadly: "Brother, you know me, I have true feelings for the Lord of Xingge City, and I have secretly sworn that I will never touch other women except the Lord of Xingge City in this life.

But you actually forced me to take off all my clothes and let other women touch my body. You are so cruel, you are not a human being. It seems that I have no choice but to confess now. "

"What good things are you thinking? I didn't ask you to take off all your clothes, just give you a proper massage."

"Ah? Do you look down on my willpower? For someone like me, you have to use some tricks on me, right?
If you don’t want to take it off, then I can still hold on. I will resist for a while, and then I will confess if you treat me harshly.”

"Mr. Richard, please restrain yourself. This is the City Lord's Mansion, not an uninhabited area."

Richard and Ota chatted and joked, and then arrived at the banquet hall. In the banquet hall, as Ota said, a large table of wine and banquet had been set up.

"This is all made by the halfling chef in the City Lord's Mansion. That halfling chef is not a chef from the City of Travel, but a family chef brought by the City Lord of Star Song from Rainbow City.

He is not qualified to help out at ordinary banquets. I didn't even dare to invite him, but when he heard that you were going to be entertained, pooh, and interrogated, he took over the kitchen. In fact, I still benefited from you."

"Oh, how could I have done such a thing?" Richard just sat down and stood up again in surprise. "I have to go find him and thank him."

"Haha, don't worry. The chef is still busy in the kitchen. He will definitely come out to see you when the food is ready."

"That's true." Richard was about to sit down when he suddenly glanced at the dining table. The three dishes in front of him were white cake baked with snow salt, fried potatoes and red fish stuffed with red wine.

White, yellow, red.

Code, "Travels of Somla"!
hiss! !

Richard was horrified for a moment. He was sure that this was definitely not a coincidence. Because the three dishes of snow salt baked white cake, fried potatoes and red wine stuffed red fish were exactly the same as the first three dishes on the Oxford family's recipe. The chef was from Teacher Kappa's organization. He took over the kitchen specifically to pass on information to me? !

Richard's scalp was tingling and his head was buzzing.

It's terrible. The organization behind the teacher is terrible. It's pervasive and omnipresent. Whenever I forget the existence of the organization, they will remind me in various ways.

"Mr. Richard, look at this wine. It's a 26-year-old Fireworks Mushroom Wine, brewed by my father.

In our dark elf hometown, deep in the dark underground, there is a rare mushroom called the firework mushroom.

It is called this name because the firework mushroom grows from the ground, and it only takes ten minutes from the time it unfolds its cap to the time it completely withers, just as short as a firework.

The fireworks mushrooms must be picked within 10 minutes and soaked in special grain liquid to brew this fireworks mushroom wine.

It's not expensive, but it's rare.

This bottle of wine was originally left to me by my father so that I could drink the wedding wine with my wife when we got married. But if you hadn't taken me along on that night of the trip, there would be no Ota today.

This wine is for you to drink. Come, come, I'll fill it up for you."

"Oh! It's so precious, your thoughtfulness..." Richard agreed, glancing at the dining table out of the corner of his eye.

Foie gras, red wine pheasant, Marseille fish soup, squid lobster, butter chicken roll...

Each dish was transformed into color in Richard's mind, then into numbers, and finally corresponded one by one with the contents in "Travels in Somla".

A large table of dishes eventually turned into an extremely short sentence in Richard's mind.

[Don't interfere with what we do]

At this moment, Richard's mind was full of thoughts.

We did it? What did they do? In the near term, it was the disappearance of the guard mage, and in the distant term, it was the bloodbath. But judging from the current situation, it is most likely the disappearance of the guard mage.

Why did the organization behind the teacher capture those insignificant guard mages? What can a few guard mages affect?
They told me not to interfere. Why did they tell me not to interfere?
Let's analyze the situation first. As soon as the Flesh and Blood Disaster incident ended, the mysterious organization began to plot.

As long as it is a conspiracy, there is always a purpose and a time.

When the Flesh and Blood Disaster was so chaotic, the mysterious organization did not carry out the conspiracy, which means that this conspiracy was likely to be brewed after the Flesh and Blood Disaster. After the Flesh and Blood Disaster ended, there were two biggest changes in the Travel City.

The first was that Xingge cleared out a wave of forces in Travel City that opposed her.

The second is that investigation teams from various forces are gathering towards the Travel City, and the attention of the entire Silver City-State is also focused on the Travel City.

Let’s analyze what the mysterious organization did before…

Richard was thinking while toasting with Officer Ota.

As they were talking and laughing, an old halfling with a sweat towel on his head came over with several halfling chefs.

"Hahaha! Mr. Richard." The halfling chef shouted happily, "I saw you in the newspaper a long time ago, and the maid who came to help in the kitchen also praised you highly. Now I see that you are indeed a handsome man.

This figure and appearance are perfect for our young lady.

From now on, when you stand beside our young lady, she will be very proud."

Richard looked at the other person. The chef was much older than he had imagined, and the wrinkles on his skin were extremely obvious.

Halflings are usually creatures about 3 feet tall and weigh between 30 and 35 pounds. They have a ruddy complexion, straight black hair, and brown or black eyes. Male halflings often have long sideburns.

Their lifespan is usually only about 50 years, half of that of a normal mage, but they can continuously increase their lifespan by improving their strength.

The normal life span of a Halfling is only 50 years, but they will not age around 50 years. I am a Halfling without strength, and they will die while maintaining an extremely young appearance.

Only halflings over 100 years old will begin to show signs of aging with loose fur.

The chef in front of him had very obvious gray hair and loose bags under his eyes, which were only seen on half-humans over 150 years old.

A 150-year-old halfling has at least the strength of a fourth ring, and might even be a master.

It sounds incredible that a master is a chef.

But this is the Star Song family, and anything is possible.

Thinking that the chef was most likely a member of a mysterious organization, Richard stood up quickly and said, "Old sir, you are too polite. I am very satisfied with your hospitality today.

Especially the three dishes of snow salt baked white cake, pan-fried potatoes and red fish stuffed with red wine, each of them is the most delicious taste I have ever tasted. "

"Hahaha, as long as you like it." The chef said with a smile: "Do you know Somla? He is the lamp god who controls thunder in ancient legends! He is called the King of Thunder and Lightning.

He just likes these three dishes very much.”

"Oh~ What a coincidence." Richard's heart was finally at ease. He was finally sure that the chef in front of him was a member of the mysterious organization!

This was the first time he met a member of a mysterious organization and talked to him at such close range.

To be honest, Richard wanted to kill everyone around him right now, and then sit down with the chef to have a good chat. He had too many questions to ask about the mysterious organization.

But right now, no matter how much he wanted to ask, he had to endure it.

He forced a smile and pointed to the place beside him and said:
"Chef, how about sitting down and talking together?"

"No, no, I still have to prepare the young lady's dinner. She is used to my dishes and she can't get used to others'." The chef smiled and waved his hand to refuse.

"What about later? I'll come find you when you're done with your work?"

"No, no, I'm just a servant, and I'm still a servant of the young lady. I can't get too close to you now." The chef still waved his hand with a smile. "When you come into our house, there will be time for us to chat. I'll have to ask you about the dishes every day."
