Wizard: Gou adds some demon hunting in the Steam Age

What they mean is that the main messenger is the Black Pearl?

Wei En felt that things would not be that simple. If the Black Pearl was really going to plunder the Seres family, it would not send only two captains here.

"I have a few questions."

Lacey gestured: "Huh? Let's talk about it."

Wei En played with the gold pound and asked, "Why didn't we continue to pursue it just now?"

As long as we continue to pursue it, or wait until the person in charge of the Seres family comes back, I believe we will be able to figure out the purpose of the Vazquezes.

Marco rushed to say: "There are two reasons. A case involving nobles like this is the responsibility of the noble committee. Intervening will cause big trouble for the Secret Service Department."

"Secondly, Lacey and I have both lost our strength and cannot fight in a short period of time. If we encounter danger again, we may have to stay there."

Lacey hummed, agreeing with his answer, "And this is just a commission. It does not involve aberrants or cult believers. There is really no need to involve them."

"What about the back?"

"Let's wait for the decision from above. If necessary, they will naturally take some measures."

So that's the case.

It seems that on Custer's side, the Secret Service Department is in a somewhat awkward position.

The church, the parliament, the committee of nobles...except for being able to talk to the city guards, it seems that other forces are not interested in the Secret Adjustment Department?

I don’t know if it’s because of Director Alais or something else...

Wei En felt relieved and continued to ask: "Second question, is Vazquez the same person Ariana mentioned before?"

"Well, that's them."

"The genocide was exterminated by Chartland 20 years ago?"

Lacey and Marco looked at each other, were silent for a moment and said: "Wayne, actually that period of history is not glorious. In our opinion..."

Twenty years ago, the Basques had a unified homeland, the Republic of the Basques, located just east of the Kingdom of Chatland.

At that time, the two countries were getting along fairly harmoniously. Chatelain purchased grain from Vazquez, while Vazquez needed the specialties from Chatelain by sea.

Especially the neighboring city-states of the two countries, because they are far away from other city-states in the country, they will help each other when encountering major changes...

However, all of this was shattered when the Chatelain royal family formed the Eastern Expedition Legion and vowed to slaughter the Vazquez clan.

This war came very suddenly. Not only did Vázquez not expect it, but even the major city-states of Chatland were equally opposed to it.

The Chatelain royal family suppressed these objections and even led an army to go into battle.

As a result, the governors of the major city-states had no choice but to send people to participate in this war.

And just after the army broke through Lovelsa, the capital of the Basque Republic, the cause of the war was exposed, making everyone on Chatland's side lose face.

It turns out that the reason for this war was just a prophecy heard by the Chatelain royal family, saying that they would be exterminated by the Vasquez in the future.

It wouldn't matter if the person who made this prophecy was a big figure from the Mystical School or the Dawn Church, but it happened to be a little-known bard.

What made everyone in Chatland even more ashamed was that it was later discovered that the bard's true identity turned out to be just a pirate on the Cordo Sea.

At this time, everyone, including the Chartland royal family, fell silent.

In the end, Kelland issued a gag order under pressure and did not dare to mention the genocide again...

And this is why all the city-states are still willing to accept Vazquez even though they know that they are hostile to Chatelain.

"Then Vazquez appeared on the Black Pearl, did they want to find out the truth behind it?" Wei En asked thoughtfully.

If everything originated from that prophecy, and the person who made the prophecy came from the sea, and Tiki appeared on the Black Pearl, it shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?

"It's possible," Lacey thought for a moment, "but it probably has nothing to do with the Seres family."

"It's hard to say," Marco speculated maliciously: "Maybe that bard is from the Seres family."

As soon as these words came out, Lacey and Wei En were both stunned.

Especially Wei En, if this is the case, then it makes sense why the Vazquez family is targeting the Serres family.

Does he know that Butler Collins is the Vazquez royal family and came here thirty years ago?

"What's wrong? I, I was just joking, you won't take it seriously, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense without basis," Lacey shook his head.

Marco looked at this and that, scratched his head and muttered: "It's really just a joke..."

Then, Lacey said some things to pay attention to during the investigation.

In particular, Wei En was taught one by one how to deal with various aberrations, abyss creatures and heretics.

"Pagans generally refer to sects whose beliefs are at odds with the four major churches. For example, the Eternal Life Society and the Despair Sect you have come into contact with."

"The biggest difference between them and the aberrations is that essentially, they are creatures with extraordinary characteristics just like us."

"There is only a difference in belief, but their wisdom and combat prowess are not bad. So when facing them, be particularly careful and remember not to have a head-on conflict."

Lacey reminded seriously: "The best way is to stay away from them, report it to Yegor, and leave it to the people in the war department to deal with it."

"Yes, I took note of it."

…

…

After several people returned to the Secret Service Department, Wayne hurriedly finished writing the report on Seres Manor, and it was almost time to get off work.

Lacey pushed the door in with a few boxes, "Come and get all the new clothes. Tomorrow's celebration starts at ten o'clock, don't be late."

"OK."

"As you command, sir."

"Tina, I know."

After several people got their uniforms, Lacey reminded: "There is also something about the Seres family manor. The higher-ups have sent word to let us keep it secret for the time being."

Wei En raised his eyebrows, keeping it a secret?

"Is there any reason? I was just thinking about going back to my family to learn more about Seres..." Marco asked.

"Egor didn't say anything, but you should be concerned about the Nobles Committee."

"That's okay..."

Dang, Dang Dang.

As the Krims Cathedral bell rang, the four people left the office one after another.

And Tina was forcibly taken away by Lacey, which also made Wayne relieved. He had too many things to do and many secrets, and it was really hard for her to follow him...

What's more important is that he has money, a huge sum of money.

In the evening, he can go to Ghost to exchange for some good things.

Spells of the undead system, various potion formulas, potion materials, isolation arrays, etc., as well as various materials for making mechanical puppets...

But such a good mood disappeared after Wei En entered the residence.

"Claire, why are you here again??"

"Aren't you welcome?" Claire was still wearing the short skirt, sitting on the sofa in the living room and looking at him, "I've been waiting for you for a long time~"

As she spoke, her overlapping legs slowly opened, then changed directions and continued to overlap.

The corners of Wei En's eyes twitched. There must be something seriously wrong with this woman!

"If it's a matter of translation, we have to wait."

"There's no rush," Claire snapped her fingers, and a steaming piece of barbecue appeared on the table. "Are you hungry? Talk while eating."

"……good."
