When Kerr heard about the dragon's secret treasure, his heart beat faster and he agreed on the spot.
Wayne elbowed him and dragged him out of the house by the collar. "The risk is too great. We need to think about it. It's late at night. I won't disturb you two. I'll give you a reply tomorrow night."
Arriving at Kerr's bedroom, the latter closed the door and raised his eyebrows and said, "Wayne, that's the dragon's secret treasure, aren't you tempted?"
Wayne shook his head, checked Kerr's room, and confirmed that there were no ears on the wall. Then he said, "Of course I'm tempted. I can't wait to agree to it."
"You're asking for a higher price, aren't you? You're just like a street prostitute!"
Good analogy, don’t make it next time!
Wayne rolled his eyes wildly, almost getting overwhelmed, and said bluntly: "You also know that it is the dragon's treasure. That woman is full of scheming. There is no reason for her to casually reveal such important information. It can only be said that the risk is too great. She knows that she can't afford it, so she asked the two of us to share the risk."
"I know she lacks the chess pieces to explore the way, and it is very likely that she already knows where Mr. Bart is hiding, but I have to admit that I am willing to take the bait." Kerr poured Wayne a cup of tea.
"I took the bait, too."
Wayne agreed, saying that it was the dragon's legacy and anyone would rub their hands if they came.
Dragon Heart Island, the great secret treasure of the dragon, Wayne has already believed it halfway.
The word "dragon" seems to have magic power. When people mention dragons, they will first think of diamond jewelry and precious metals. As a magician, Wayne extends his fantasy about magic props based on the treasure.
The reason why he only believed half of it and not all of it was because Wayne remembered that Chris once said that there were no dragons in the Chosen Continent.
Where does the dragon blood come from without a dragon?
Wayne regretted not asking clearly at the time. Dragon Heart Island was too far away from Lundan to contact directly by phone. He could send a telegram, but he couldn't find the contact person in a short time.
If you write a letter...
It would be better to take a boat trip!
Wayne felt helpless and discussed the case with Kerr. The famous detective was full of drama, and Wayne suspected that he had other information that he had not shared.
"Mrs. Dinah's spirit said that Mr. Bart has been hiding in the manor, or even in this big house. I think it is necessary to investigate." Kerr suggested.
Wayne neither agreed nor disagreed. It was very likely that there was a secret passage in the manor. It was not surprising that rich people valued their lives, but even as smart as Heidi was, she couldn't find Mr. Bart's hiding place. The two outsiders...
Hey, you know what, it's really possible.
It is not ruled out that Heidi has always known Mr. Bart's hiding place, but for some reason she was afraid to enter.
The two discussed for a while, and Wayne returned to his room.
Kerr decided to follow Heidi tomorrow and go to the Bart family's company to find out the truth. Wayne said he wanted to familiarize himself with the surrounding terrain and investigate the situation behind the cliff in case the Bart family turned against him and he would not know where to go if he ran away.
Nothing happened that night. Wayne gained support from his fellow villagers. He was getting stronger every day and felt very fulfilled.
The next morning, Kerr went to the Bart family's company, and Wayne rented a fishing boat to go around the cliffs to observe the terrain.
Assuming that Bart gained extraordinary powers in his deal with the devil, it is very possible that he dug a hole in the cliff.
Before going out, Wayne specifically found the maid Oga, who had no idea what happened last night. Madam Dina was offline and unable to move during the day.
Even if she moved, it would be of little significance. Her soul was extremely weak, her mind and memory were blank, and she could not provide important information.
It was noon when Wayne arrived at the Crescent Town Square. Looking at the Shrine of Poseidon, whose architectural style resembled that of the Church of the Heavenly Father, he considered going in to scout out the area.
The Sea God Shrine is the biggest belief on Longxin Island. Almost every fisherman believes in the Sea God, and there is an endless stream of people making vows.
If we were to ask who knows Dragon Heart Island best, it must be the Sea God Shrine that has been rooted there for many years. Even the devil knows that there is a dragon's secret treasure on Dragon Heart Island, so there is no reason why the Sea God Shrine didn't receive any news at all.
Be braver, the devil is late, the secret treasure has been discovered by the Sea Shrine.
Flutter flutter!
On a tree beside the square, a white dove tilted its head and cast a curious look at Wayne. Wayne frowned slightly, turned and walked into the alley.
Someone is targeting me!
The magician of the Sea Shrine?
Wayne did not bring his own messenger bird on this trip. Longxin Island is an island on the sea and a well-known fishing ground, so there is no shortage of seagulls on the island.
Seagulls are the scum among birds and have always been notorious. Not only are they good at throwing shit in the air, they also particularly like to rob. When food is scarce, seagulls will regard white pigeons as hunting targets.
When food is not scarce, seagulls also like to bully the weak, and their reputation has long been ruined.
Wayne did not regard his pigeons as disposable items. Considering the above reasons, he gave them to the maid to feed and did not put them in his hat and carry them with him.
By the same token, no one on Dragon Heart Island would raise white pigeons except magicians.
Wayne suspected that his blatant snooping had attracted the attention of the magicians of the Poseidon Shrine. The other side had more people, so he gave Poseidon face and let the matter go for today.
Wayne wanted to leave, but the other side would not give in. White doves followed him all the way. Two figures came from a distance and pressed forward step by step until they blocked Wayne near the reef on the beach.
The two men in black were wearing gentleman's hats with their brims pulled down low and their high collars standing up to cover the lower half of their faces wrapped in scarves, so their features could not be seen clearly.
Wayne sniffed the air and looked at the two uninvited guests in surprise, wondering why they came.
Veronica.
Willy.
Especially Veronica, she shouldn't have come. When Auston knew that Bai Cai went across the sea to chase the pretty boy, he was so angry that God knows how many cement barrels he would buy.
“Hehehehe——”
The shorter man in black, Willy, lowered her voice and let out a gay laugh as she strode towards Wayne.
She was wearing leather gloves and her whole body was covered tightly. When she was three meters away from Wayne, she sprinted forward and threw a punch.
This is very Willy.
Okay, okay, you like playing this way, right?
Wayne raised his eyebrows, his punch was weak and powerless, it was just a prank. In this case, he could only be prepared.
Wayne dodged sideways, and the moment he passed by her, he suddenly stretched out his hands and pushed Willy in the chest with a follow-up move.
The latter staggered two steps and was obviously stunned for a moment, but did not say a word. He lowered his voice and uttered a meaningless provocation, then swung his fist and hit again.
Wayne continued to dodge and gave him a push on the butt.
Willy wanted to continue sending them, but Veronica couldn't bear it anymore.
"Idiot, there is no such thing as you!"
She sprinted towards the two people who were fighting, and kicked Willy in the back from mid-air, sending her two meters away, humiliated, and she slid for a distance.
Willy stuck her butt out, buried her face in the sand, groaned and didn't get up.
"Hey, this voice...Veronica, what a surprise, it's you!"
Wayne was overjoyed and opened his arms to give the other person a bear hug.
"Stay away from me, pervert!"
Veronica raised her fist and warned Wayne not to ask for trouble.
Wayne gave up with regret, and quickly walked to Willy's side, helped the beautiful girl up and brushed the sand off her head, and said angrily: "Willie, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known it was you, I would definitely not fight back."
"Wayne, it hurts so much!" Willy pouted and spit out the sand, tears in her eyes.
Wayne couldn't bear to see this, and hurriedly comforted him: "Don't be afraid, wherever it hurts, I'll help you rub it."
"It hurts everywhere, especially my butt."
"Rub it and blow on it and it won't hurt."
"oh."
Bang!
Veronica gave a flying kick and two people slid out on the beach.
The camera turned and Wayne brushed off the sand on his face. He was thick-skinned and didn't feel any pain at all. He looked at Veronica curiously: "Why are you two here? And you are playing secrets secretly. Are you going to give me a surprise? To be honest, I didn't recognize you at first. It was such a surprise."
"Don't play dumb, you clearly recognized it."
Veronica was disdainful and told the pervert not to be so self-indulgent: "Villi asked me to come here. She was really bored and wanted to come to the beach to watch the sea."
"Yes, I also brought a swimsuit." Willy raised her hand.
"What style? Let me see."
Wayne looked curious, but was immediately disappointed when he saw the swimsuit in Willie's suitcase.
The style was very old-fashioned and extremely conservative, completely different from the swimsuit he had imagined.
But soon, Wayne thought of a new business opportunity. If I remember correctly, there were no bikinis in those days and swimsuits had not yet ushered in a revolutionary change.
"Veronica, where's your swimsuit?"
"I didn't bring it."
"Liar, I saw..."
"ah!"
…
At the Crescent Bay Restaurant, Wayne invited the two to have afternoon tea together.
Veronica was still upset about Wayne taking advantage of Willy and insisted that the pervert did it on purpose and pretended not to know when he recognized them.
Don’t talk nonsense without evidence. We live in a society ruled by law. Be careful or you will be sued for defamation!
Wayne looked aggrieved. The two beautiful girls covered themselves tightly, sneered at each other and started punching him. How could he guess that it was a prank by a friend? They overestimated his IQ.
Willy agreed that Wayne didn't mean it.
Veronica was so angry that she drank two glasses of juice in a row. She said angrily, "How is your investigation going? When will you return to Lundan?"
"This question is a bit complicated..."
Wayne recounted the investigation process, and finally lowered his voice and said: "You came just in time. There is not a single good person in the Bart family from top to bottom. The detective I am traveling with is also a treacherous villain who hides his true colors. It is difficult for me to obtain the dragon's secret treasure by myself."
Triggering the keyword, Veronica's eyes lit up and she asked what the dragon's remains were.
"Not sure, we are still investigating."
Wayne said, "Speaking of the secret treasure of the giant dragon, I would also like to ask you, is it true that there are no giant dragons on the Chosen Continent?"
"No."
Veronica nodded firmly. Facing Wayne's doubts, she sold her mother without hiding anything: "The dragon blood comes from the gift of the goddess of nature. It is a heritage ceremony related to my mother's teacher."
There are no dragons in the God's Chosen Continent, but powerful magicians can find dragons, especially churches that control a large amount of resources, which have many ways to evolve the disciples' physiques.
Wayne gets important information. The church has many methods, and each of them has hidden talents.
"By the way, do you know the Sea Shrine?"
"..." x2
Veronica and Willy shook their heads at the same time, and the latter said, "Wayne, there is a Moonlight Church stronghold in Crescent Bay. We belong to the Life Alliance, so we can go there for help."
Crescent Bay, Moonlight Church, it turns out that this name is not a coincidence.
…
Half an hour later, the three arrived at the Moonlight Church base.
The followers of the Moonlight Goddess hid in the opera house. After confirming that they were their own people, an elderly female elder received the three people.
She calmly talked about the beliefs of the Sea Shrine. The sea god did not exist, but the islanders were afraid of the capricious sea, yet longed for the wealth of the sea. Over time, they formed a belief in the sea god.
It is a spontaneous belief that yearns for beauty and is very pure. The members of the Sea Shrine are all ordinary people, and there are no magicians among them.
Wayne did not mention the dragon's secret treasure, but asked about the origin of Dragon Heart Island.
"It is said that Dragon Heart Island is the heart of a giant dragon, and it fell from the sky like a meteor, but this is just a legend and cannot be taken seriously." The female elder took out a geography magazine: "This legend is related to the winter storms on the island. People say that it is the roar of a giant dragon, and combined with the shape of the island, Dragon Heart Island got its name."
Wayne flipped through the geography magazine, looked down at the map of Dragon Heart Island, locked onto the location of Bart Manor, and wanted to ask something, but the female elder had already left.
Veronica and Willy were planning to stay at the base for the night, but Wayne didn't join in the fun and returned to Bart Manor with the magazine in his pocket.
Soon, Kerr came to the door.
"There is something wrong with the location of the Bart family's company. I did some research today. The new company was built two years ago, just in time for Mr. Bart's health to improve..."
Kerr's eyes flashed: "He is most likely hiding in the company. Heidi also knows this. She can't know nothing."
Wayne didn't say anything. The maid who was possessed by a ghost last night said that Mr. Bart had been in the manor house. These two clues were obviously contradictory.
"Mr. Bart is hiding in the company. Heidi is not a magician. She cannot open the magic mechanism. She pretends to know nothing and puts us at risk."
Kerr said seriously: "What do you think, should we continue to wait or take the initiative?"
"I'm inclined to wait."
Wayne gave his reply and guessed that Kerr thought the same, otherwise he would have done it himself and would not be so kind as to come back and share information.
In the final analysis, Kerr was just looking for cannon fodder for himself.
Bah, so cheap!
Kerr nodded. Coincidentally, he also thought it would be better to wait a little longer.
The dragon's treasure is tempting, but we only have one life. There is no reason to rush forward knowing there is danger.
"I have heard a little about the Bart family's faith, the faith of blood. Some time ago, several members of the Lundan Council went crazy. Have you heard about it?"
“I’ve heard a little bit, but I don’t know much.”
Wayne asked curiously, "Why? I've always suspected that this matter is not simple. Is there any secret?"
"I know several devout nuns in the Church of the Heavenly Father. The believers of the evil god of hell have been very active in recent years. The Church of the Heavenly Father is short of manpower and is preparing to seek help from other churches." Kerr whispered. This is a secret and warned Wayne not to spread it.
Wayne promised seriously that he would never tell anyone.
"There is no good end for believing in evil gods, especially for believers who betray evil gods. The Bart family is cursed. Heidi must be more anxious than us..."
Kerr speculated: "I bet that in a few days, she will accidentally discover Mr. Bart's hiding place and invite us to go with her."
Okay.
Wayne nodded, holding the ancient silver coin in his hand. The villagers were growing well, so it was just right to take advantage of these few days to light up the hexagram with all his strength.
The dragon’s great secret treasure, I hope it won’t disappoint him.
The Bart family, Kerr, the blood evil god...
The evil god cannot come and can be ignored.
Wayne thought to himself that he still had two ambushes, so he had a great chance of winning this game.
Sorry everyone, this is the rule, winner takes all!
