Set up a funeral service team in a foreign land

Chapter 89: Shadow of Corbett's Rebellion

When Xi Sui'an got the crystal card, she suddenly felt that the External Relations Department was the department she should join.

I got rich overnight. Ten million can last me a long time. Many rare core materials can be obtained now, and I can continue to visit the auction house!

She happily put away her wallet and turned to talk about business: "What are the rules for this re-survey of the ruins?"

Li Qing sat in her office chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly: "Who knows, Professor Qingshu told us to pack up and leave in three days."

"Are you going too?" Søren Argerich raised his eyes in doubt.

"Yes, there should be someone to lead you. As the director of the External Relations Department and the top student in the History Department, I am of course the most suitable person." He was not stingy in praising himself.

"Will Luo Xing go?" Xi Sui'an asked after hesitating for a moment.

"Yeah." Li Chu blinked, reminded by Xi Sui'an's question, "Isn't it rumored that she is related to that relic?"

"Maybe she will go. If she strongly requests it, the dean and others will probably agree." No one is not curious about their own life experience, and she is no exception.

Xi Sui'an nodded thoughtfully.

After going out, she asked a few other people in the college for a long time and finally found out where A Luo was.

Seren Argerich looked at the quaint and secluded courtyard in front of him: "Sure enough, the Audit Department is more tasteful." Compared to the colorful flowers, he still prefers a quieter place.

Xi Sui'an grabbed a red-clothed member who was coming in or out and asked about A'luo's whereabouts.

The other party was stunned: "A Luo, I'll go ask." He turned and went into the yard, and when he came out he looked at a few people calmly.

"The minister asked you to go in. Go to the room over there by yourselves."

He pointed in a direction, and after a few people thanked him, they followed his direction and walked into the Audit Department.

He stood there and smacked his lips for a moment: "That junior girl seems to be number one on the blacklist. She dares to come to the Inspection Department with such brazenness. She's really brave..."

After crossing the courtyard, they saw the ear room that they had just pointed out. As expected, it was Ye Qiu Sheng's study.

Xi Sui'an suddenly remembered that he was on the blacklist, and felt a little guilty: "System, do you think Ye Qiusheng will deduct my name from my post?"

The system rolled over the sea of ​​her soul: "No, as long as you don't become a red name." If she really becomes red and is upgraded to the red list, then it would be time to run away.

She turned to look at Zhong Heng: "How do you feel?" She did not forget that Zhong Heng was still wanted before he came to the college.

Zhong Heng said indifferently: "It's okay." There are so many small shrimps on the red list, and he hasn't found anyone who has an impression of him since he entered the door.

They arrived outside the study and Xi Sui'an knocked on the door.

"Come in." The words were light, yet steady and powerful.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Ye Qiuxiang writing something at his desk. A Luo was sitting not far away, surrounded by various books. It seemed that he was immersed in the sea of ​​books.

"You're here!" He perked up and quickly put the book down, "Sit down!"

Seeing A Luo greeting him, Ye Qiu Sheng looked up, put down his pen and looked over.

He ignored Xi Sui'an and kept his eyes on Zhong Heng.

"You are so bold. You know you are on our red list, but you still dare to come to the Inspection Department?"

The others were stunned when they heard this.

Zhong Heng remained calm and looked up: "So how does Minister Ye plan to deal with me?" Others may not have an impression of him, but Ye Qiu Sheng certainly does. He also knew that he had walked into a trap and could not hide it from him.

Ye Qiusheng was silent for a moment: "I know you are the ship's doctor of the Liberty. Where is Qingyun now?"

"Who knows?" Zhong Heng smiled. "She loves heaven, earth and freedom. How can a small pawn like me know where she is now?"

Ye Qiu Sheng narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhong Heng for a long while.

"You are here for that traitor, right?"

Ye Qiu Sheng suddenly changed the subject and let Zhong Heng go. To him, the guy in front of him was not worth mentioning, but he had a close relationship with the Freedom. If he kept him under the nose of the Inspection Department, there was no telling when Qing Yun could be lured out.

Zhong Heng was stunned, his brows slightly frowned, and he didn't quite understand what Ye Qiu Sheng meant by picking him up high and putting him down gently.

"Yes." Xi Sui'an nodded.

A Luo pursed his lips, and his face still looked unhappy when he mentioned Corbett: "Corbett was a member of our Holy Tribunal. He performed very well in the past, and like me, he was the focus of training. But one day, he defected for some reason without any signs."

"In fact, it's not just us in the judging panel." He turned his gaze to the quiet Li Chu, "Someone from your Penglai Pavilion also defected, but we didn't catch him."

“…Ah?” Li Chu looked up blankly, “Someone from Penglai Pavilion also rebelled?” How come she had never heard of it?

But it was also true that she had little relationship with Penglai Pavilion and had not joined Yinglong Guard, so the information she knew was indeed superficial. Thinking of this, she suddenly understood why her father wanted her to join Yinglong Guard.

"The news was suppressed." A Luo had a blank expression. Their judging panel also wanted to suppress the news, but failed.

Xi Sui'an suddenly remembered an armlet with a dark Eight Immortals pattern that she had bought. Considering Zhu Jun's reaction, it seemed that this might be the work of the traitor.

"The person who defected from Penglai Pavilion was an alchemist?"

"That's right." Ye Qiu Sheng answered her question.

He said calmly, "The Inspection Department itself assists the gatekeepers in investigating smuggling, which is also within our authority. But compared to Corbett's arrogance, the other party is too secretive, and we still don't know whether he has entered the foreign land."

This is also the reason why Yinglong Wei hesitated for a long time and finally reached a cooperation with them secretly. If they were exposed in the open, it would probably be more difficult to catch them.

"How did Corbett get involved with the Drakov family?" Sern Agrich suddenly asked after listening for a while.

Arlo said coldly, "If I had known this earlier, would I have come to a foreign land to investigate? You vampires are trying to win over this one today, joining that one tomorrow, and killing each other the day after tomorrow. Who knows, it was the Drakov family who took the initiative to find him."

Seren Agrich's eyes deepened but he remained calm. What Arlo said was indeed very likely.

"I will let the Agrich family follow up on this matter." He said lightly.

Xi Sui'an couldn't help but glance at him sideways. It seemed that this guy's status in the family was indeed not low.

She collected her scattered thoughts and asked, "Then how did he join the Eternal Oath?"

"The seventh oath-bearer, Thorin, is famous in the foreign land for being crazy, reckless, absurd and unrestrained." Ye Qiusheng expressed his evaluation, "He is the only one among the oath-bearers who makes people feel a little crazy." If he hadn't lowered the reputation of the organization, the reputation of the Eternal Oath might have been improved by a few points.

"Thorin's identity is a little special. He is a human being."

Xi Sui'an was stunned: "Human? Did he also defect from the human world?"

"No." It was A Luo who refuted, "He has no roots in the human world."

"It wasn't found in the foreign land either." Ye Qiu Sheng added.

It seems his identity is quite mysterious.

"He actually pays considerable attention to the human race, so it's not surprising that Thorin took Corbett into his possession." Ye Qiu said.

"Who announced that he would join Thorin's army?" Xi Sui'an lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.

"It's Corbett." A Luo paused, "He betrayed again and again and made a big fuss about it, which made the vampires lose face this time."

Xi Sui'an tapped the table with his white fingertips. He looked up after a while and spoke in a gloomy tone at everyone.

"He can betray again and again. How much truth do you think he has in his claim to have surrendered to Thorin?"

Everyone was startled, and Ye Qiu Sheng's eyes were slightly stern.

"What do you mean?" A Luo could hear the deeper meaning in Xi Sui'an's words.

Seren Argerich pondered Xi Sui'an's words: "You mean, the person standing behind Corbett is not the Drakov family, nor is it Thorin?"

Xi Suian nodded.

"What do you mean?" Ye Qiu Sheng frowned and looked directly at Xi Sui'an.

Xi Sui'an curled his lips and said, "Did Thorin express his opinion on the Lost Sea incident? How did he react to Corbett's claim and his death in Damocles?"

"No reaction." Ye Qiusheng paused, "He is just going crazy on his own. It is said that he is now soaking in his own wine pool."

"..."

Xi Sui'an was speechless for a moment. Is this Seventh Oath-taker such a wine-drinking and carnival-loving person? !

"Thorin has not made a statement. No one knows whether Corbett's claim is true or not."

"The Holy Cemetery does not interfere in the affairs of other ethnic groups and is relatively closed. The elves, dragons, and mermaids all cooperate with the academy and will not commit any crimes in Damocles..." Ye Qiu murmured.

"And what about the Rosicrucian Society?" she finally said.

"The Rosicrucian Society?" Zhong Heng was a little surprised. "Isn't it just an academic organization? I joined it in the past to discuss knowledge of alchemy. The level was pretty good, but no one conveyed any ideas to me. Later, I stopped going because of my busy schedule. There's nothing special about it."

It can really be said that you can come and go freely.

Busy schedule? I think it’s because he’s busy with the two worlds.

Xi Sui'an glanced at Zhong Heng and said, "You are a peripheral person, so when people don't intend to recruit you, they will naturally give you this feeling."

"And this thing called concept..." She recalled what the Mermaid Moon said when she met the magician Talos, and the attitude of the cemetery singer Daniel.

"Isn't exploring the truth and the secrets their philosophy?"

Zhong Heng was stunned when he heard this. He didn't think so much at the time, because the advance and retreat were very quick, and even Sister Qingyun didn't bother to care about this organization that had little to do with her.

"The Rosicrucian Society, the truth and the secret..." Ye Qiusheng pondered, "Yes, that's right. There are a few people from the Rosicrucian Society on our blacklist, but there is not a single person on the red list who belongs to the Rosicrucian Society." It is really rare that he has not violated the taboos of the Inspection Department and the gatekeepers. He is so law-abiding that it is incredible. You know, even the usually arrogant elves have one or two rebellious and troublesome things.

"Either, it is really as you see. Or," Xi Sui'an said calmly, "they have been hiding in there for a long time."

"..."

To some extent, the Rosicrucian Society is as open-minded as the academy. They are not bound by race and only pursue the truth and secret past and explore the essence of the world. In her opinion, this is much more dangerous than racial discrimination.

"No matter what the major tribes and forces think, they have all taken certain actions after hearing about the Lost Sea incident. Only the Rosicrucian Society has probably not expressed anything so far."

She was extremely wary of the nearly invisible Rosicrucian Society. Walking on the night road with a lantern, she was not afraid of any danger ahead, but she was afraid that there was a poisonous snake waiting in the darkness behind her, and then suddenly jumped out and bit her.

One moment of carelessness could be fatal.

Ye Qiusheng certainly understood what Xi Sui'an meant. He said in a deep voice, "In fact, the gatekeepers and our Inspection Department have been monitoring these forces. So far, the risk level of the Rose Cross Society has been very low. This has not been the case for one or two years, but for one or two epochs."

From the Era of Conflict to the Era of Migration and then to the present Human Era, during such a long period of time, there have been people in charge who have suspected something, but they have indeed not found anything.

This ancient organization is like a drop of water melting in a foreign land, causing no waves and appearing invisible and harmless.

"During the Age of Conflict, everyone was fighting each other to the death, and the Rosicrucian Society had no chance to develop. Even if the conflicts were settled during the Age of Migration, they would still be wary of and hostile to each other. Only now, after entering the Human Age, is there an unprecedented period of peace, and it may also be the time when the Rosicrucian Society will develop the fastest." Xi Sui'an said calmly.

Ye Qiusheng paused: "...I will secretly raise the level of prevention and control."

If the water surface must remain still, then he should try diving underwater.

She nodded with satisfaction, saying so much just to achieve this goal.

The traitors of the Holy Church are most likely related to the Rosicrucian Society, so what about the traitors of Penglai Pavilion?

If it is also related to the Rosicrucian Society, then it can only mean that they have their sights set on the human world.

After returning to the dormitory, Li Chu, who had been thinking all the way, said to Xi Sui'an very seriously: "I will tell Master about this later."

"Well, the human world should also be more cautious." Xi Sui'an agreed with Li Chu's idea.

She lowered her eyes and smiled.

When the two major forces of the Holy Church and Yinglong Guard in the human world become alert, the vampires from foreign lands, Damocles, the Gatekeeper Organization and even the wandering merchants in the realms begin to be on guard, the Rose Cross Society will always surface.

"If you want to kill me, I have to return the favor."

She entered her room in a good mood. The lamp velvet flower emitted a soft light. Chaotide, who was sleeping under the window with her webbed arms around her, heard the noise and opened her eyes. Then she saw Xi Sui'an's extremely creepy smile under the gentle light, and she woke up with a start.

"You...you're back?"

"Yeah." She nodded her head, "Come out with me in a couple of days. You should sleep less at such a young age."

Chao Xi was speechless and wanted to refuse, but when he thought of Xi Sui'an he had just seen, he shut up decisively.

The system in my mind sneered: "You are an old monster who has no idea how old you are, yet you are still so young?" Besides babies, the other type of people who can act cute are shameless old foxes.

Xi Sui'an paused after hearing this. She looked at Chao Xi for a long while and said, "Chao Xi, when were you born?"

Chao Xi swallowed. Why did this woman suddenly remember to ask his age?

"I... was born at the end of the Era of Conflict, but my spiritual consciousness emerged at the beginning of the Era of Migration." It had no choice but to reveal its past.

No wonder he looked like he was about to die before. He avoided the chaos in the early stage and slept at the bottom of the sea in the later stage. It was not easy to survive for so long.

Xi Sui'an stroked his chin and asked, "What's your impression of the Rosicrucian Society?"

Chao Xi was stunned: "The Rosicrucian Society... isn't it just a gathering of a bunch of weird guys talking nonsense? It's boring."

Xi Sui'an rubbed Chao Xi. It was interesting that even the invisible Chao Xi had a stereotyped impression of them.

The seeds of doubt have been sown all over the place, and it remains to be seen when they will emerge.

And what does the director of the teahouse think about this? He is definitely not a naive young man.

She thought aimlessly as she ravaged the tide, a smile on her lips.
