Chapter 132 (3K) Shira’s Calculation As time passed, the news that Lear was about to hold a knight selection in the fortress arena spread more and more widely. But Lear himself is nowhere to be seen. In the Knights Templar archives, Lear sat on a chair, with a mountain of public security files beside him. Most of the public security incidents that have occurred in the Faro Fortress in recent years are recorded here, such as someone killing someone else for profit, or someone dying accidentally or committing suicide. These events were governed by the four great knightly orders. The death of the owner of the villa that Lear bought was also recorded in it. Looking at the contents of the information, Li Er frowned. The information actually described that the original owner committed suicide by taking poison, which was completely different from what he heard from the previous landlord. He continued reading, and there was not much recorded, not even a photo, just a description of suicide by taking poison. The final case handler was Sheila. The records in the document are different from what the landlord said. Who is lying? He remained silent and continued to look at the other information below.
While reading these materials, Lear discovered another problem. In the cases handled by the War Tiger Knights, a large proportion of the victims are talented legal professionals, while the other three major knight orders mostly deal with cases involving ordinary citizens. The disappearance and death of adventurers were also almost entirely handled by the War Tiger Knights. Seeing this, Lear narrowed his eyes slightly. Thinking of the talented professional who died in the villa he bought and the phantom of the blasphemous serpent he saw, an idea came to Lear's mind. "By the way, I want to ask, how are the bodies of these dead people dealt with?" Lear raised his head and suddenly asked the archivist next to him. The archivist was a female knight who was pretty good-looking. She had been watching Lear carefully since he arrived at the archives room, and was startled when Lear asked her this question. Feeling Li Er's gaze, she blushed and said, "Usually it is cremated. If the family of the deceased requests it, the body will be handed over to the family." "Who is responsible for the cremation?" Lear asked again. "It's the War Tiger Knights of Knight Commander Yasen. I remember Miss Shira was in charge." The female knight thought for a moment and replied. It's Sheila again. Lear nodded, not surprised. It seems that Sheila, the carrier of the source of blasphemous law, is deliberately collecting the corpses of some talented professionals. I’m afraid those corpses were not really cremated. Perhaps they became food for the blasphemous giant snake? "I understand, thank you, beautiful lady." Lear put down the file in his hand. He almost understood what he needed to know. After saying that, he turned and left the archive room. When he walked out of the archives room and came to the Triumphal Square, Lear saw the four major knightly orders training as usual. His eyes swept over the direction of the War Tiger Knights and saw Sheila standing side by side with another lady, who turned out to be Hana. The two were talking and laughing, and seemed to be in harmony.
Li Er raised his eyebrows, thinking about his previous speculation. Sheila is deliberately collecting the corpses of talented professionals. The corpse does not necessarily have to die naturally or accidentally, it can also be caused by human intervention. After thinking for a few seconds, Lear walked up. "Good afternoon, ladies." Lear walked forward and greeted them. Shira and Hana looked up and were surprised to see Li'er. The former had a strange light in his eyes, while the latter had a burning gaze. "Master Lear." Sheila nodded. "Do you know each other?" Lear asked. "Of course I know her! Hana and I are very good sisters. Hana is one of the few mid-level adventurers in the Adventurer's Guild. Master Li Er, you must seize the opportunity." Sheila smiled and hugged Hana in her arms. Hana blushed and said to Silla unhappily, “Silla, what are you talking about?” "Haven't you signed up for Master Li'er's knight selection?" Sheila blinked and looked at Hana with a smile. "That's true, but don't talk nonsense!" Hana patted Sheila helplessly and glanced at Lear while speaking. "Master Li Er, Shira is an excellent pharmacist in the fortress, so my adventurer team often goes to Hana to buy potions, and Hana also entrusts me to go to the Decision Mountains to collect herbs." Hana broke free from Shira's arms and explained. "Is that so?" Li Er nodded. He walked forward and patted Hana on the shoulder. "I'm looking forward to your performance in the knight selection." Li Er said this gently, and a barely visible red light flowed down his arm and merged into Hana's body. No one noticed. After doing all this, Li Er smiled at the two women and turned away. Hana watched Li Er leave, and then she looked at Li Er's departing back in fascination, "Shira, don't you think Master Li Er is handsome?" "He's handsome, but I don't think Master Li'er would look down on us." Sheila shrugged. As a woman herself, how could she not know what Hana was thinking? "Anyway, don't think about these trivial things. Remember to bring the herbs for me!" She patted Hana's shoulder again and reminded her. "Don't worry! We are just collecting herbs. There will be no problem with my team of adventurers!" Hana answered confidently. …… Hana returned to her adventurer's apartment in a good mood. After meeting Lear today, she had an even better impression of this handsome son of the lord. She heard that Lear had beaten Arsene so badly in front of the four great knights. Hana once had a crush on Arsene, who was handsome and the leader of the War Tiger Knights, the first of the four major knight orders. But now Arsene was completely defeated by Lear in all aspects. "I'm back!" Hana called out. Walton, who was training with a big axe in the backyard, turned his head when he heard the voice and asked, "How is it, Miss Sheila, is she satisfied with our herbs?" "Of course I'm satisfied. This is a precious herb that we got from the Decision Mountains with great difficulty!" Hana said as a matter of course, with a hint of pride in her tone.
Walton smiled and said nothing. In the other room, the third member of the adventurer team also came out. "By the way, Miss Sheila also gave me a task. She hopes we can find a medicinal herb called Night Dew Bloom within three days." Hana added. "Night Dew Flower?" Walton frowned. "Within three days? The knight selection for that young Lord Li Er will start in a few days. Can't we look for him after the selection is over?" "I'm afraid not." Hana shook her head. "Miss Sheila seems very anxious. She must have some important potion to make." "It doesn't matter. It'll be within three days. Miss Sheila told me where the herbs are. It's near the rift." Hana added. "The Chasm? Are you sure?" Walton's expression became more serious. "Don't you know what the Chasm is?" "There are even high-level monsters there, and many powerful adventurers have died there!" "We are just on the edge, it should be fine." Seeing Walton's expression become serious, Hana also felt a little guilty. "Hana, this is not a question of whether it's on the edge or not. Our adventurer team has been able to survive because of our caution and thorough preparation." Walton shook his head. He paused for a moment and continued, "There are too many records of adventurers dying in the Rift, and countless of them are missing. Even if we want to go there, we must be well prepared." "Miss Sheila asked us to get the herbs within three days. We don't have time to prepare. It's too dangerous to rush to the Rift Abyss!" Walton's tone was stern. Although Hana was the captain of their adventurer team, he was actually the one who was making all the plans behind the scenes. That was why they were one of the best teams in the Adventurer's Guild. Hana was a little overwhelmed by what Walton said. After a while, she said awkwardly: "What should we do? We can't give up this mission. I have already accepted the payment given by Miss Sheila in advance." Walton was silent for a moment, then said helplessly: "Return the things to Miss Sheila, this mission is too risky." Hana hesitated after hearing what Walton said. Seeing Hana's performance, Walton frowned, "What's wrong, what did Miss Sheila give you?" Upon hearing this, Hana took out a bottle of potion from the backpack behind her. It was a bottle of azure blue potion and looked exceptionally beautiful. The moment he saw the potion, Walton's pupils shrank sharply. "This is it, the magic resonance potion, which can increase the speed of our magic training. Miss Sheila gave us three bottles in total, just enough for one bottle for each of us." Hana said in a low voice. "By the way, Miss Sheila also said that this is just an advance payment, and there will be other rewards after we get the herbs." Walton was stunned after listening to Hana's explanation, and then he looked at the potion in Hana's hand and became a little excited. Magic resonance potion, this is Sheila's unique potion formula, and it is also the reason why Sheila is quite famous among fortress professionals. This potion can speed up the magic training of professionals and can also directly improve the level of professionals. Weaker entry-level professionals can advance two or three levels by taking potions and practicing for 24 hours, while mid-level professionals can also advance by about one level. The only drawback is that each professional can only use it once. It was with the help of this potion that Sheila gained the status of Stuart's retainer. Although she is now affiliated with the War Tiger Knights, she will also provide potions to the Stuart family. Walton has been stuck at level 47 for a while. If he can get this magic resonance potion, he will definitely be able to break through! "Walton? Walton!" Hana woke up the dazed Walton, "Should I return the potion to Miss Sheila?"
"No, that's not necessary! I think it shouldn't be too dangerous to just go find some herbs near the rift." Walton quickly replied, his attitude changing 180 degrees! (End of this chapter)
