Chapter 770

"The guard in charge of guarding the supplies reported to me for the first time that a small bag of crude sugar was missing from the temporary warehouse. I didn't care... I thought he remembered wrong, or the bag of crude sugar fell on the March."

Several wooden chairs were placed in the open space next to the wagon camp. Everyone sat in their chairs and formed a circle. Charlotte reported the abnormal situation of the camp to his highness Randall.

The blonde Knight lowered her head in shame. She didn't realize that the alchemist was meticulous and counted the materials several times a day. The guard reported that a small bag of crude sugar was missing from the temporary warehouse. It must have been lost in the camp, and it happened that day.

The expeditionary army carried a lot of crude sugar, and it didn't matter whether one bag was more or less. However, the camp of the expeditionary army was invaded, and the other party could steal things unconsciously under everyone's care.

Charlotte pursed her rosy lips and continued to introduce Victor: "In the next ten days, there were six consecutive incidents of missing items in the camp. Almost every other day, something disappeared inexplicably. The missing items included sugar, salt, coffee, fresh fruit, wine, preserves and condiments... We found that the situation in the camp was wrong, but we didn't search in a big way, but pretended that nothing had happened. We observed in the dark and hoped to find it A thief. "

Victor could not help but show a funny look on his face and said in a relaxed tone: "you thought that the thieves in the camp were bertina and Caligula, and deliberately connived at them to play."

Everyone smiled, but their smiles were embarrassed and depressed. Charlotte explained: "the theft happened after bell and aka came back. We all mistook it for their prank and didn't take it to heart."

"How did akar and bell get rid of the suspicion?"

"On the twelfth day of the theft, aka's most precious spice bag and iron pot were stolen. He hurried to find it, and then cried loudly and sadly... We questioned bell, but her guard proved that she was playing by the river behind the camp, which could not have been stolen by her."

Charlotte paused and said, "Arka couldn't find his lost items. We realized that there were invaders in the camp."

She glanced at Victor and stressed, "it's a terrible intruder."

Victor was a little silent, looked at Nelson and asked, "my commander, how did you deal with this?"

Nelson habitually touched the back of his head and said in a deep voice, "I still think nothing has happened. I stop practicing the boltanos secret method myself, so that I won't lose my perception. Then I guard the warehouse with the guards..."

Seeing Nelson's silence, Victor sat up straight in surprise and asked, "the materials in the warehouse have been stolen under your eyes?"

Nelson shook his head and said sadly, "it was my own tent that was patronized by thieves and lost a fine gold knife and a silver spoon."

Victor couldn't help taking a breath of air-conditioning. Although Nelson lost something small, the thief could avoid his ambush and touch his tent, which was by no means possible for ordinary people. The other party's spiritual perception should be at least stronger than Nelson.

Victor thought about it, shook his head and said, "Nelson, you have to ambush quietly when outsiders invade the camp... It's not like the style of the northern bear."

Nelson glanced at Dane from the corner of his eye and said: the guy taught me how to do this.

Dane smiled bitterly: "I don't believe in the invasion of foreign enemies. I think we did it ourselves... Lord Nelson doesn't believe that enemies can sneak into the camp, so he listened to my advice and played down the matter. Your highness, you know, some people will have some unusual strange behaviors, such as stealing, in order to relieve stress under special circumstances. Moreover, the lost east of the camp They are all ordinary goods. If we find him out in a big way for such a small matter and let him lose all his face, wouldn't it be very good? "

Dane suspected that there were "thieves" in the team, which was a reasonable guess. No wonder Nelson and Charlotte would adopt his handling opinions.

There are four golden Yalong people in the expeditionary army camp. Most of the remaining 200 people are alchemical militia with a perception attribute of more than 15 points, as well as alchemical dragon lizards, alchemical war mastiffs and bear dogs. In addition, Emerson's razor beasts, Philip II and Philip III - these unnatural dissimilated monsters are naturally flesh and blood hungry and are particularly sensitive to creatures , even the horned frogs hidden underground can be dug out and eaten.

From Victor's point of view, the expeditionary army's perception mode and perception level are three-dimensional and rigorous. Suppose he sneaks into a camp with the same conditions and commits theft, it is very unlikely that he will not be found.

Victor looked at Charlotte again and saw her nod gently.

In Nelson's tent, there are two sword maids. They have received the most strict sleep training and should take turns to be vigilant when the owner sleeps. Charlotte obviously questioned them afterwards. If Nelson's sword maid is not a "burglar", then there are really intruders in the camp.

The "external thief" can steal things from the sword maid, and it can poison or assassinate family members who are unconscious because of practicing the boltanos secret method.

That's why Charlotte said the invaders in the camp were terrible.

Nelson said in a low voice, "stealing things from my tent is provocative. I did a comprehensive search of the whole camp regardless of who the thief was... There were no footprints, no smell, nothing. It's like a ghost wandering in the camp... But I can't feel it, and Arka can't feel it."

Victor turned to Lyra behind him and asked, "what about you? Don't tell me, you didn't do anything."

The master's censure was severe. Lyra, the Dragon maid, tooted her beautiful red lips and said wrongfully, "the lost things are not the king's treasure... The money the king asked me to guard hasn't been lost."

"Charlotte asked us for help. Our sister looked for it carefully and couldn't find the thief." Dragon maid Frey added nearby.

Charlotte nodded in recognition and said, "the sisters searched an area of 300 square kilometers, but they couldn't find a clue. In the next few days, we set a trap, but the thieves didn't touch the food in the trap. Instead, the camp lost crystal lanterns, ropes, shovels, scissors and other tools."

Lyra suddenly thought of something. She took out the Hydra jewel from her waist pocket and held it on XianMei's white hand. She looked at Victor eagerly and said that the treasure she was guarding had not been stolen.

Yalong people have the talent of hindsight of the dragon family. They can lock the location of thieves and treasures by looking back on the past, and then chase the thieves to death. But the taste of Yalong maid is not enough to mark a little food and tools as "the treasure of the Dragon King", and the personal belongings lost by others have nothing to do with them.

Mei Wen blinked her charming blue eyes and said, "I'll find bell..."

Bell is also "the treasure of the Dragon King". Meiwen wants to take bell to prove that they have not slackened their guard duties. Victor smiled bitterly and shook his head. He stopped Mei Wen and told the Dragon maids, "you all go back to the car and wait for me."

"Yes." The four sisters of the Dragon maid said in unison.

When their tall and graceful figure disappeared into the carriage cabin, Victor wrinkled his slender sword like eyebrows and said thoughtfully, "is it really a ghost?"

As his highness Randall asked himself, the atmosphere suddenly became cold and strange. Nelson and Charlotte seemed to have the same idea.

It is human nature to attribute the problem to ghosts and gods in unexplained situations. But the shepherds of the Lord of glory will never openly support rumors of the horror of the dead. Dane said firmly:

"The natural undead has no support and cannot survive unless it is the carrier that the wizard endows the undead with parasitism through witchcraft. Even so, the undead does not exist for a long time. Because they are all maintained by the magic of the wizard, and the magic of the wizard is limited, and it is impossible to control the undead all the time. Moreover, even if ghosts can steal things, they must show up when they take them Besides, what about the stolen items? Ghosts don't need food or water... They don't need anything. Those who need these materials are the people who control the ghosts. "

Victor nodded and asked, "Reverend, what do you think of these thefts?"

After thinking for a moment, Dane looked up and said: "I still think the problem lies inside the camp... I suspect it's bell, because her highness said she was a little wizard, but she hasn't shown her witchcraft ability. If she was a mental wizard, she might be able to manipulate others to help her steal some items... Of course, when the little wizard awakens her talent, most of them don't know what happened? I mean, bell It can be unintentional. She uses witchcraft in her dreams, but I have no evidence. "

He was wearing a special leather inner armor made by Randall family and covered with a gray priest's short robe. This simple dress clearly highlighted the identity of a shepherd.

In the field of demons, wizards and the dead, priests undoubtedly have the most authoritative voice. In fact, 99% of the dead events in human countries are related to wizards, and there are many natural dead, but their activity time is very short. The natural dead often disappear before the parties concerned feel it, and there is no need to ask priests to expel them at all.

Dane has no practical experience in dealing with the dead, but it does not affect his authority. At least in Nelson and Charlotte's view, the priest's view should be accurate.

Charlotte was delicate and had a noble master behind her. She would not fully believe Dane's statement. She asked cautiously, "Lord Dane, can't you see whether bell has awakened witchcraft?"

"I can't answer this question." Dane spread out his hands and shrugged his shoulders. In the face of Mrs. Charlotte's query, he assumed an indifferent attitude. He was not afraid of Charlotte's anger or being ridiculed by the other party, because he was telling the truth.

At the beginning, the Pope personally performed true vision to check the root cause of bertina's disease. However, even the Pope could not detect Bell's identity as a wizard, let alone a level 5 priest?

Dane believed that Lord Miller, the brilliant waiter, had made some arrangements for bell to hide her wizard identity; he also believed that his highness Randall, who was very intelligent, must know what bell was special, whether Lord Miller told his highness or his highness thought of it.

Sure enough, when Charlotte was about to raise her eyebrows, Victor took her slender and soft jade hand and asked, "when was the last theft?"

Charlotte smiled at her beloved master and replied, "the day before yesterday afternoon, a guard reported the loss of two air-dried prairie grouse. Aka was the first to run to find it, but she didn't find it."

Victor stretched out his slender fingers, rubbed his eyebrows, sighed and said, "is this an intruder or a 'burglar'? This matter must be tracked down... Dane, what can you do?"

Dane thought about it and tried to say, "I think we can send someone to keep an eye on bell. In addition, please ask your highness and four ladies to search outside the camp. If the intruder did it, he stole the wind chicken at noon the day before yesterday. He shouldn't have gone far."

Victor immediately got up, nodded and said, "well, without delay, I and the Dragon maid went out of the camp to search and see if we could catch the thief, but Lyra wanted to stay... Dane was responsible for the search on the camp side."

Soon, Victor left the camp with three dragon maids and searched in different directions for clues that the invaders might leave. According to Victor's wishes, Dane sent bertina to the carriage cabin and handed it over to Charlotte and Lyra. Then he wandered around the camp and inadvertently came outside imosen's tent.

Philip II, III and a group of razor beasts lie dormant on the grass around the tent. The two alienated beasts are like two hills. Even if they lie still, they give people a strong sense of oppression. Dane involuntarily slowed down, carefully walked through the gap left by the alienated beast, approached the tent, and whispered, "imosen, imosen, are you there?"

The wizard of Randall's family bent down and got out of the tent, followed by two beautiful, slender waist and long legged sword maidens. As soon as he saw the military priest, he greeted warmly, "Dane, you're here... Well, bell, how's she?"

Dane looked at him and joked, "you guy can have such a lovely daughter."

Imosen rubbed his hands and said proudly, "the master never mentioned my father daughter relationship with bell, and I can't publicize that bell is my daughter everywhere. After all, the reputation of a wizard is not very good, and I'm afraid I'll hurt bell."

"OK, OK, I know your father and daughter used to live a hard life... I just came to ask if you lost anything." Dane asked with a smile.

"We haven't lost anything, have we?" Emerson turned to ask his sword maid, got a positive nod from them, and said to Dane, "we haven't lost anything... What? Hasn't the thief been caught yet?"

Dane nodded heavily, patted the wizard on the shoulder and said: "Your Highness Randall has gone out to find the intruder... Before the result, don't practice the poltanos secret method to prevent accidents... Bell is in your Highness's car house, guarded by Mrs. Charlotte and Ms. Lyra. The big fool sleeps outside the car house. You don't have to worry about Bell's safety."

"... that's good." Imosen sighed with relief, shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "I dare to practice the secret method taught by your highness. Now I sleep in turn with Lisa and Anwen... The thief haunts and makes everyone very nervous. Reverend master, do you think there will be a real ghost?"

Dane was silent. The blood color on imosen's face gradually faded, and his lips trembled and said, "there won't be ghosts in the camp?"

He has great extraordinary power, but like most ordinary people, he has a natural fear of the dead.

Dane coughed and said, "the possibility of ghosts is very small... It's not impossible. I want you to do me a favor."

Emerson's eyes brightened, cheered up and said, "if you need my help, just open your mouth. It's my honor to help the servant of the Supreme Lord dispel evil!"

Dane smiled, nodded and asked, "didn't bell catch an old fox when he came back? Was it still alive?"

"Behind the tent, I keep it well!"

They went around the back of the tent, and the maid with the sword followed them like a shadow. Dane didn't care about the maid's follow. His attention was all focused on a grassland fox with dark red fur and a circle of white fur in his mouth.

When the old fox saw imosen, he bowed his head and leaned close to his ear, looking very friendly and obedient.

Imosen pushed aside the coquettish grassland fox with his feet and asked nervously and excitedly, "Reverend Dane, can this old fox catch ghosts?"

Dane's eyes became deep and unpredictable. A smile came out of his mouth and said faintly, "it's also the first time I use exorcism. If there is a ghost in the camp, I have to find it first... By the way, don't tell me about it. When I really find the dead, I'll drive it away at all costs!"

In awe, imosen nodded three points from his chest to his forehead, "may the supreme glorious Lord shine on our way and dispel all darkness and impurity."

Dane squeezed the holy crystal in his pocket and prayed silently in his heart: "may the Lord protect me and give me power, and the lucky enemy will suffer bad luck! May the Lord protect me and give me a sharp sword, and the coming danger will be cut off!"
