Chapter 11 There's a mole! I need to check the cards!
In the past two days, Su Lan has discovered a big secret.
That is... Tia's zodiac sign is magic crystal!
Well, actually he was trying out a transcendent cultivation method.
This new gadget is really interesting.
Simply breathe at a specific frequency, then pack up all the random things you inhale and send them to the scales.
Once the scales are purified, he will absorb them again, thus completing a full cycle.
It accepts all kinds of magical power, even pollution.
What's most interesting is that his cultivation speed increases significantly whenever he gets close to Tia.
Seraya has given herself the "Supreme Magic Crystal"!
"Su...Su Lan..."
Seeing Su Lan keep moving closer to her, Tia couldn't help but say, "I took a shower after I dug the hole, there's really no smell, you can smell it if you don't believe me!"
She brought her big tail close to Su Lan's face.
It definitely doesn't smell of soil; instead, it has a faint grassy scent.
What Su Lan cared about wasn't that, but rather that her cultivation speed had increased again!
"How about you stop wearing the black robe at home from now on?" he suggested.
Anyway, we have pollution suppressors, so we can just take them out and place them in the four corners of the building.
Although the range is larger and the consumption of magic crystals will increase dramatically, Su Lan can't stay in Tia's bedroom forever, can she?
He can afford it for cultivation!
"Really?" Tia's eyes lit up. "This robe is ugly and stuffy; I've wanted to stop wearing it for ages!"
She impatiently flung off her robe, and black energy instantly spread from her body.
Su Lan took a breath.
It smells good, you should smell it more!
"Su Lan, someone's here outside, it looks like Reed." Tia's ears suddenly twitched.
"Why isn't he coming in? Oh right... you draw your tunnel map first, I'll go out and take a look."
Su Lan suddenly realized that she had added physical defenses to the yard yesterday but hadn't given Reed the key.
Su Lan deliberately went around to the next room, crawled out of the storage room's exit, and came behind Reed.
"Reed, what do you need me for?"
"Lord Su Lan, so you went out." Reed turned around and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I've been feeling uneasy these past two days, and I keep feeling that something ominous is happening around you, so I came to check on you."
Su Lan hadn't expected Reed to be so perceptive.
Could it be that when you went out for some fresh air, you accidentally let in some polluted air?
It should not be.
The device that Seria gave her won't malfunction, otherwise she would have been arrested long ago. How could she be doing so well now, even registering a chamber of commerce?
"So what did you feel?" Su Lan asked with interest.
Reed shook his head: "No, perhaps it's just my imagination... Lady Su Lan, may I take Bode and the others inside to investigate for you?"
"No need." Su Lan pondered for a moment, then a thought struck her.
"Go tell Bode, Linus, and Luca that I'm meeting with an important person tonight. He doesn't like to be disturbed, so no matter what happens, none of you four should come near here."
He wants to check the license plate!
This is a good opportunity to test the suspicious individuals on the "list"!
Su Lan suddenly closed her residence and didn't show up for two days. If there really were spies from the court, they would be scratching their heads in anxiety right now.
If you release the bait now, you might be able to catch a big fish!
"What about the maid you took in a few days ago? Do you need me to make arrangements for her?"
"I have my own plans, you go and do it."
"Understood." Reed acknowledged the order and withdrew.
……
Afternoon, on the outskirts of the town.
Luca, dressed in linen, strolled to the entrance of a small courtyard.
Looking around and seeing no one, he quickly opened the side door and slipped inside.
Linus was already waiting inside. Seeing Luca, he asked, "Did Reed also came looking for you?"
"Of course, what should we do?" Luca asked anxiously as he closed the door.
Linus pondered for a moment and said, "After the arrival of Vilrant's merchant ship, I contacted Lord Kahn, and he should be able to arrive in the next couple of days."
"Stop beating around the bush, you mean you're not going to do anything?" Luca frowned.
"Didn't you hear what Reed said? Su Lan is about to meet with an 'important person,' and I suspect he's the heretic we've been looking for."
"So what do you mean?" Linus remained noncommittal.
"Infiltrate! I left a window in the guardhouse at Su Lan's residence. Go in from there, and we'll know immediately."
Luca sneered, "Once we find the evidence, we'll act on the spot. I doubt those conservative judges can find any fault with that!"
Linus hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "The Church of the Moon is good at concealment. If we alert them, we will not only be exposed, but also be punished by Kahn."
The thought of punishment sent a chill down Luca's spine.
But then, an unnamed rage welled up from the bottom of his heart.
"Linus, when did you become such a coward? Partnering with you is such bad luck!"
Luca slammed the door and stormed out: "I'll go myself! Don't expect me to share the reward with you!"
After Luca left, Linus sighed softly, "A very useful piece, what a pity..."
He is not only skilled at concealment, but also at cursing.
Enraging an ordinary second-tier knight is naturally a piece of cake.
……
Luca had forgotten how he came to the lord's manor.
He only wanted to find evidence that Su Lan was colluding with heretics, then kill Su Lan and inherit the territory!
The inquisition's reward was simple and brutal: kill the heretic and you could legally take everything from them.
Huddled in the shadows, Luca stared intently at Su Lan's courtyard.
As darkness fell, the lights in the courtyard were turned on right on time.
The light seemed to be obscured, hazy and indistinct.
However, the fog in Black Reef Fjord is always like this, so Luca didn't pay much attention to it.
The surroundings were quiet, and the so-called guest had not yet appeared, but Luca was not in a hurry; he had plenty of patience and time.
Suddenly, a faint sound came from the courtyard, which was particularly clear in the night.
Luca felt a chill run down his spine and stared intently.
A petite figure pushed open the door and sneaked out.
"Is that Su Lan's newly acquired maidservant? Did she go to fetch someone?"
Luca stood up, but then suddenly remembered something and stopped.
"Perhaps this is a ruse, or we should wait here; she'll come back eventually."
However, as it turned out, he was overthinking it.
A short while later, the maid returned to the courtyard gate, still clinging to the arm of a dark figure, looking very intimate.
The two went straight into the courtyard. The bedroom light quickly came on, and the maid came to the window, looked around, and then drew the curtains.
"Damn nobles, you've got all the beautiful women!"
Luca, hiding in the corner, caught a glimpse of the maid's beautiful face and gritted his teeth: "They even gave both of them to me! Why not just give them to me?"
The last shred of reason in his heart was consumed by jealousy, and he could wait no longer, so he climbed over the wall into the courtyard.
His exposed skin felt slightly itchy, but Luca didn't care. He quickly found the reserved window and sneaked into the building.
"Evidence... once we find the evidence, we can take action..."
Luca muttered to himself, his voice a little hoarse.
