Jenkins stayed at the professor's house until dusk. The professor talked to Jenkins about the significance of the discovery of ancient Titans to modern archaeology, and repeatedly emphasized that the two giant stone statues in the abandoned hospital will never be demolished.
He eagerly waited for the church to arrange for him to go there for archaeological excavation, and even the toolbox was prepared in advance.
The professor's excitement didn't infect Jenkins. He was already excited after defeating the Titan yesterday with his powerful soul power. Declining the professor's dinner invitation, Jenkins walked into the sunset with the cat that had slept all afternoon. Knowing that he was unlucky today, he didn't go wandering around the city center and wait to enter the illusion of doomsday. Instead, he went directly to the black market to purchase some Materials that Ruen cannot buy.
I was bargaining with others for the extract of a piece of honey flower, and noticed that the clown in the middle came over. It turned out that there was new news about the entrustment of the huntress.
"I thought it would take at least next month to hear from you. Please don't tell me that you came to discuss refunding the deposit because you thought the commission could not go on."
Jenkins joked as he sat down.
"I made it clear last time that the deposit will not be refunded under any circumstances. You are lucky, the stone slab buried in the wall of the attic of the post office really let me find out the origin."
The huntress replied that this answer surprised Jenkins very much. He himself thought that the investigation would be fruitless.
The Huntress' initial investigation was the same as Jenkins thought, tracking down the details of the building's builders and workers. But because the age is so long, the investigation in this area was almost fruitless, so the huntress used money to get through the staff inside the post office. She wanted to investigate whether there were any suspicious people who were suspected of giving gifts to the staff in the past ten years, but she accidentally heard something strange. rumors.
"On the night before and after the consummation of every month, there will be faint noises in the attic of the post office. This once became a strange talk inside the post office, but after the church was invited to exorcise the demon, the situation still did not change. They thought it was because of the heat inside the wall. The expansion and contraction caused the sound. Based on this clue, I searched among the cleared building waste, and I found this in the stone factory."
The huntress said, and put a milky white stone on the table.
"This is... a sound-absorbing stone?"
Jenkins collected this stone (Chapter 132) because of the unique ritual [Sound Preservation] obtained from the whisper at the end of the month (Chapter 132), but Nolan's church and black market did not have it, and later learned from Hathaway, a believer in the God of Music, This kind of stone can only be found in gemstone veins in the deep sea, and its occurrence rate is extremely low. It is a priceless treasure for gifters who use sound abilities or rituals.
"You actually know this? Then I don't need to explain. Obviously, the person who placed the stone slab stored some sound in this sound-absorbing stone and buried it in the wall. When demolishing the damaged building a few days ago, The person who found the slab was obviously an ordinary person who didn't pay attention to this unremarkable stone. When the gifter who searched the scene arrived, the stone had already arrived at the scrap yard. You're lucky, can this be considered as the end of this commission now?"
"Have you heard the voices inside?"
Jenkins asked.
"Of course I have, otherwise how can I be sure that this is what you want? Oh, sir, since you entrusted me to investigate the matter, it is inevitable for me to discover some privacy. Even those private detectives will explain this. But please Don't worry, I'm not the kind of talkative person, and I don't have any interest in crazy poets from the fifteenth era."
The Huntress explained, motioning for Jenkins to examine the sound-absorbing stone.
"Since you can name the mad poet, the commission is naturally over. I am very satisfied with the result of this commission, and your action is also very fast..."
"So at the end of the payment, you plan to increase the remuneration by 10%?"
"So next time if there is something to do, I will still come to you. I dare say that among Nolan's mercenaries, you are definitely the best."
"If you sound nice, you can't exchange for meal money. Give me the balance now. I only need cash. Don't use strange things to deduct."
The huntress held out her hand to Jenkins.
Jenkins had heard about the way to activate the sound-absorbing stone from Hathaway, but because the matter involved a mad poet, Jenkins did not immediately listen to the sound inside after leaving the black market, but returned to Loen and activated it in the study with Alexia Sound-absorbing stone.
At first there was a murmur, and then a vague man's voice appeared. It’s just that the first short paragraph is really hard to hear, and the content can only be distinguished from the 7th second:
"... I escaped here, I shouldn't be digging the ruins of the mountain village in the valley. The power of the mad poet of the fifteenth century is still cursing everyone on that land. I came to Nuo with the stone slabs I found from the ruins. Lan, and hide the slate and this passage. If you hear it, please remember that the power of a madman cannot be used, otherwise he will become a madman. Before the mad poet dies, he is no longer a mortal, don’t Greed for any power related to him.
If you are a kind person, please go to the secret room in the basement of No. 3 Kelanger Lane in the east of Nolan to collect my body for me. If I do not escape the curse in the end, I will definitely choose to die there. "
This is the whole content of the voice, Jenkins listened and thought for a while before saying to Alexia:
"The mad poet was not a mortal before his death? Did he find a way to turn into a different species? Or has he sublimated himself?"
"There are all kinds of possibilities, but if this is true, another question is very interesting-who killed the mad poet? Since the lady with glasses said that the hero did not leave a name, can we infer , is it really not left behind, or is it left but cannot be recorded?"
Alexia asked.
Jenkins nodded slowly, preferring that the name existed, but disappeared from all records for some reason:
"Since the mad poet died at the end of the fifteenth century, the person who killed him is very likely to be a candidate for the savior like me. Only in this way can he have similar strength to the mad poet... If that brave man If he really became a false god, then his real name is naturally impossible to survive. After all, it is the real name of a god... In this way, if our guess is correct, then we only need to investigate the gods who began to spread belief widely after the fifteenth era , don’t you know who killed the mad poet?”
