Indescribable tarot cards

After a few days, the sewers in Leiden City are still the same as before, dilapidated and exuding an unpleasant stench.

"By the way, why do you need to go to the sewer again?"

Aaron frowned, held a torch high, and followed Ron. The firelight stretched the shadow very long.

After Alice personally confirmed the "Hanging Sword" badge presented by Ron and saw the badge flashing with bright golden light due to sensing the extraordinary aura, Ron's identity was officially confirmed.

At the banquet that day, although he could probably guess that Bals had arranged something in the sewer, he did not see it with his own eyes after all. In the following days, due to recuperation and funeral, he did not return to the sewer to check.

Besides, if you bump into someone from the Saugetos family who is finishing up in the sewers, they might be playing into their hands.

At this critical point, Aaron couldn't wait to be exposed to the public all day long, so how could he dare to do such a stupid thing?

However, with Ron's appearance, Aaron can probably guess some of the reasons: with the intervention of the "Hanging Sword", the complexity of this originally complicated incident has increased again.

Judging from what Ron said before, I am afraid that the "Hanging Sword" already knew about the incident in Layden City at the first time, but was extremely confused and asked a gold medal investigator in the eastern part of Asia Grant to investigate this matter. thing.

According to the information Aaron knows so far, the "Hanging Sword" has corresponding investigators all over the Kingdom of Algrant, and Leiden City, which is the pearl of the western part of the Kingdom, is certainly no exception. It should at least have an investigator, right?

However, Aaron could only keep this question in his mind and did not dare to ask more.

"I have done some preliminary investigations before. I heard that you think there seem to be additional discoveries in the sewers?" Ron said without looking back. The black cat on his shoulder almost perfectly blended into the shadows. Only that Two emerald-like eyes sparkled.

"That's just a guess. We once encountered a cultist in the sewers..."

"Okay, okay, Mr. Aaron, please skip this paragraph. What I care about is why you think there will be new discoveries in the sewers."

"It's just a guess," Aaron emphasized again and again, shrugging as if Ron could see his movements. "It doesn't cost money to guess."

"Then have you considered the consequences of guessing wrong?"

"Consequences?" Aaron sneered, "I am a noble, and my fiancée is a noble lady from the Iris family. I also gained friendship from the Tower of Stars. If you guessed wrong? At most, I would be slapped with a hat for slandering the city lord. My name, anyway, I..."

He glanced at Alice and wisely put away the second half of his sentence.

He is a modern person who traveled through time, and is naturally incompatible with this medieval-like world. His reputation is simply worthless to him now.

Besides, the host is already a shameless bastard, so why does he care about face?

However, if he dared to tell the whole story, he would probably have to be scolded by Alice again.

"The reputation of the nobles is worth protecting with their lives." Alice added at the end, as if to remind Aaron.

At this time, the black cat on Ron's shoulder suddenly barked softly, as if to remind Ron.

The three of them stopped almost at the same time, and the hollow footsteps echoed far away in the dark sewer, even with a misty echo.

The three of them stood silently, even holding their breaths in unison, but did not hear any strange sounds.

Ron glanced at the black cat in confusion, but the black cat nodded in a humane manner and barked softly again, as if confirming something.

Ron glanced at the darkness in the distance, scratched the black cat's head, and said softly: "Then come down and help me take a look, okay?"

The black cat still snored happily, but shook his head resolutely.

"Are you...a Beast Whisperer of the Holy Grail type?" Alice asked doubtfully.

"Of course, to be precise, I am the beast whisperer of the 'Hanging Sword', which may be different from the ordinary beast whisperer." Ron replied while comforting the black cat: "Little Black is mine. Partner, right, Blackie?”

As if responding to him, the black cat responded lazily again.

Holy Grail supernatural beings are good at transferring extraordinary power to foreign objects, and using foreign objects as a medium to control and master the extraordinary power. Naturally, these foreign objects include not only dead objects such as steel and stones, but also herbs and blood. Semi-living creatures, including animals.

When an extraordinary person hands over his first silver-level sigil inscription to a certain creature, he naturally develops a special connection with the creature, and the creature naturally masters part of the extraordinary power. , became an extraordinary creature.

Unlike Warcraft or even Evil Beasts that exist in nature, the Animal Whisperer's animal companions can communicate with the Beast Whisperer mentally from the beginning and can also understand human speech. However, Warcraft or Evil Beasts require considerable strength to understand. The language of other creatures.

Of course, the first talisman inscription of the Silver Level is just to determine the direction of future development. Beast whisperers will later develop different paths based on their different understandings of the extraordinary aura. Some extraordinary people can carry a variety of animal companions. , some will only advance and retreat with one animal companion.

In fact, prophets are similar to beast whisperers. Like Siosande, they can also sign contracts with dream creatures to obtain their help, but the prophet's talisman inscriptions still remain deep in the soul, and the signed contract Contracts are mostly equal contracts.

Rather than saying that the relationship between Siosande and Mengji is a partnership, it is better to say that it is an employment relationship of fair cooperation.

"Xiao Hei smelled something, and something seemed to be passing by not far ahead," Ron whispered, "but the ground was dirty, and it didn't want to come down."

The black cat nodded in agreement and licked its paw again.

Aaron used the firelight to look at the damaged stone bricks covered with unknown stains at his feet, and then at the dirty water flowing not far from his feet, and nodded in agreement.

If it weren't for investigation, who would have the spare time to go into the sewers.

"That means we have to go a little further to find out what happened."

"Then why don't you ask a few more people to come down?"

Aaron didn't believe it either. With Ron's status as a "Hanging Sword" gold medal investigator, could it be that he still couldn't find anyone in Leiden City?

Ron glanced at Aaron and shook his head, "Sir Aaron, I'm here to investigate the cult incident, not to start a war."
