Chapter 347: Compass of Vow, Kagoshima

Sir Arnel Reyes nodded calmly upon hearing this.

Baron Bezos' explanation was barely self-consistent.

It also conformed to the conclusion of the investigation in the giant city.

Just a few days ago, someone did order a lot of materials in the shop at the Black Leaf Outpost.

Including various ingots, as well as consumables suitable for city construction and magic circle repair, the total amount reached tens of millions of crowns, which can understand the origin of the current construction materials in Magtan City.

As for the sluggish population mobility, Baron Bezos's statement was not wrong.

After all, there is an arrangement to rebuild the state city, and the current Magtan does need a lot of manpower.

And under the premise of working together to resist the magic disaster before.

As long as the price is enough, those mercenaries and adventurers are naturally willing to continue to stay here to work.

Because everyone knows that a place where a magic disaster has already broken out will never break out again in a short period of time.

This is the experience accumulated by the natives in more than a thousand years of Naroa.

He shrugged his shoulders, and there was almost nothing wrong here.

The explanation given by Baron Bezos is by no means impeccable, but it is not something that can be found out by empty words.

It requires a lot of visits, investigations and demonstrations.

He did not go out at all after arriving in Magtan City, so naturally there was no question of where to investigate.

So for the second question, Sir Arnel chose to reveal it.

In fact, through Baron Bezos's answers to these two questions.

He already had some guesses in his mind.

But this does not mean that Sir Arnel Reyes can understand the truth and all the ticket details hidden in it.

These cannot be answered by reasoning.

After a little hesitation, Sir Arnel first took a big sip of the wine glass.

Then he gave a positive affirmation.

"Well, what you said makes sense."

"It also conforms to the actual situation, so let's start the last question."

Gently put down the wine glass, pursed the corners of his lips, and said naturally.

"Huh..."

Baron Bezos, who was sitting in the first seat, sighed in his heart.

Arnel's performance was too normal and too calm, without any questioning or difficulties.

This should have been a good thing, but it made Baron Bezos even more nervous.

There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary.

The biggest problem is that there is no blame.

And from his reaction, Baron Bezos couldn't tell whether his answer was more than half.

After all, Arnel Reyes always had that cold expression and didn't comment on his answer.

More like a listener and recorder, not an interrogator.

Hearing him talk about the third question, Baron Bezos' heart suddenly became more nervous.

But he must not show his fear.

Having survived two questions, he couldn't be discouraged by the third question.

So he still smiled on the surface.

"Sir Arnel, please speak."

After getting his answer, Arnel Reyes nodded slightly.

Then he showed the storage ring on his finger in front of Baron Bezos.

"Then let's get started."

After that, he took out a palm-sized golden compass from the storage ring.

The edge of this compass has extremely exquisite carvings.

In the middle are various runes and abstract sketches.

Baron Bezos is just a lord of a state city. He is not as experienced or knowledgeable as those nobles from the giant city, so he doesn't know what this compass is for.

But this thing looks like a magical object with some effect.

This makes Baron Bezos secretly alert.

If the compass is a magical object of the mind or spirit, it would be bad.

But the other party shouldn't do this.

Brainwashing and questioning are more serious than arresting and interrogating.

Baron Bezos frowned, not hiding his vigilance and alertness.

He simply asked.

"Sir Arnel, what is this?"

Faced with this question, Arnel Reyes pulled the corner of his mouth and raised a light smile.

"Don't be nervous."

"This is the [Vow Compass]."

"It can show the type and number of contracts concluded."

"You only need to squeeze out a drop of blood on it to complete the process."

"It will not have any impact on you."

As soon as these words came out, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Baron Bezos's back.

He was struggling fiercely in his heart, not knowing whether to do what Arnel said.

But he immediately remembered Chen Xuan's instructions.

But he was a little unsure about this.

The thoughts in his mind turned again and again, and he nodded.

Then he took out a dagger with a serious expression and scratched it on his fingertips.

A bloody wound appeared, and he squeezed it a little more, and a drop of scarlet blood came out.

Sir Arnel Reyes pushed the [Vow Compass] along the table.

Baron Bezos solemnly pressed his blood-stained finger on it, and then withdrew his hand.

The [Vow Compass] slowly floated up, emitting a dazzling white halo on its surface.

At this time, Anel stared at the compass almost intently.

Soon, various runes and patterns appeared above the compass.

They became chaotic the moment they appeared.

"Crack!"

The next moment, the [Vow Compass] broke into several pieces and fell on the table.

Such a situation shocked Arnel Reyes, and he rarely looked out of control.

"What happened?"

"The [Vow Compass] was broken!"

He held the fragments in front of him, with an expression of indifference on his face.

Baron Bezos secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but look forward to his master more.

Looking at the fragments of the [Vow Compass], Arnel couldn't speak for a long time.

The awkward atmosphere lasted for a few minutes before he came back to his senses.

He apologized to Baron Bezos with aristocratic etiquette, and then spoke.

"The third question is over."

"I'm full, Baron, I'm sorry, I want to leave early to rest."

Baron Bezos would naturally not refuse this.

"Please forgive me for the poor hospitality. You can ask the servants for any expenses you need."

Baron Bezos said politely, to which Sir Arnel just nodded and left.

Lazarus, the iguana man sitting on the other side, also put down the half-eaten sour lamb leg in his hand.

He picked up the napkin and wiped the rotten water and meat residue on his palate.

He then showed an ugly smile to the maid standing next to him, who was anxious and unbearable, and then left.

The maid who was responsible for serving it almost vomited, but did not dare to show it.

Seeing it leave, it patted its chest.

The sour smell in the restaurant was simply lingering and disgusting.

Fortunately, the iguana people had no interest in human women.

In the eyes of Lazarus, humans were no different from monkeys.

At most, they had less hair on their bodies.

It still preferred the female iguana people.

Watching Arnel Reyes and Lazarus leave one after another.

Baron Bezos was completely relieved.

Looking at the pale golden powder left after the [Vow Compass] on the table was broken, he couldn't help but admire his master Chen Xuan more and more.

Because Baron Bezos knew very well that the contract itself was the reason for the [Vow Compass] to be broken.

He, including everyone in Magtan City, had signed a contract with Chen Xuan that was modified by an inexplicable force.

In other words, their contracts were not in normal state.

In this case, this [Vow Compass] would not only fail to detect, but would be affected, resulting in disorder, and eventually the compass would be broken.

In fact, no one expected this situation.

Including Chen Xuan himself.

But before that, Chen Xuan and he discussed several water clocks.

Among them, it was mentioned what to do if the other party brought a prop that could detect the contract.

The conclusion was that the modified contract could not be detected by conventional means.

The modified contract seemed to have changed to a new mode.

No one could explain the specific principle.

Chen Xuan himself could only attribute it to the influence of the rose phantom.

The alternative plan he left for Baron Bezos at that time was actually very simple.

If the other party really brought a magical artifact that could detect the contract, then there were only two possibilities.

The first was that it could be detected and found that he had signed a slave contract.

At this time, Baron Bezos did not need to quibble, and simply admitted it directly.

But he could not directly explain Chen Xuan's affairs.

He had to let the female warrior Satyr of Zerekan take the blame for this.

Anyway, Naroa did not have any known means to specifically understand the content of the contract.

At most, it would be to explore the type of contract.

Therefore, Baron Bezos did not have to worry.

As for how to investigate afterwards, that would be discussed later.

The second situation was that it could not be detected.

This situation was the easiest to deal with, and Baron Bezos just had to continue to play dumb.

Anyway, the main point of this wave was procrastination.

There was no need to tell any big lies or say something unrealistic.

It was fine as long as it could be dragged on.

Sitting at the dining table, Baron Bezos's face was not good.

His wife, Lady Zuzana, stood up and wiped his forehead with a silk cloth.

After Arnel left, he could finally take off all his disguises.

…

At this time, Sir Arnel, who had already walked to the third floor of the castle, and the iguana man Lazarus were talking in a low voice.

"How is it, Sir Arnel."

"Did you ask anything?"

"I see that you don't look good. Is it going well?"

Lazarus asked with some concern.

It was only after meeting Sir Arnel Reyes that it saw that his expression was very serious.

But Arnel shook his head in a daze.

"No, it's going well."

"There is indeed a problem in Magtan City."

"There is no doubt that the invisible black hand manipulated all this."

Although the [Vow Compass] was broken, Arnel still saw many problems.

You know, he is not just an official, but also a mental magician.

Hearing his words, the iguana man Lazarus frowned immediately.

"Then should we take down Bezos Chibman?"

Hearing this, Arnel shook his head vigorously.

"No, of course not."

"We can never do this."

"Let's pretend nothing happened."

"Wait for the conscription order to be implemented."

"Because judging from the previous situation, at least we can be sure that the other party should have nothing to do with monsters."

"This is a blessing in disguise."

"But we still have to remain vigilant."

"I will inform Marquis Andrea of ​​the situation here later through secret remote magic transmission."

He stopped talking at this point.

When the two talked, Anel's mental power was always in an outward state.

The iguana man Lazarus had a different mission from him, so he didn't know what instructions and instructions Anel had received before he set out.

His mission was to cooperate with Anel.

So he didn't say much.

The two returned to the room, and everything returned to silence.

...

At the same time, Blue Star, Kagoshima, Japan.

Kagoshima Prefecture is the southernmost prefecture in Kyushu, Japan.

It belongs to the Kyushu region in Japan.

The Amami Islands in the southwest are opposite to Okinawa. It has various characteristic islands headed by the world natural heritage Yakushima and volcanoes such as Sakurajima, dense forests, and abundant hot springs.

It has unique tourist resources such as colorful natural scenery and unique historical culture.

It is one of the few tourist prefectures in Japan.

It is also an important birthplace of ancient Japanese culture.

In addition, it is the only county in Japan that has space rocket launch facilities that gather the essence of modern science. Simply put, it can launch rockets.

The climate here is warm and subtropical, with an average annual temperature of about 18.8℃. The soil is volcanic ash and quite fertile.

Agriculture and animal husbandry have been vigorously developed, and it is considered a large agricultural county.

The agricultural output value ranks first among all counties in Kyushu.

The industry is mainly food, wood, pulp, and papermaking.

Through [Void Shuttle], Chen Xuan appeared in a barren mountain in Kagoshima.

The surrounding area is lush with trees, and it looks a bit like the mountains in southern Zhejiang Province.

The directional shuttle ability of [Void Shuttle] has a certain degree of uncontrollability.

Chen Xuan cannot guarantee whether there are people near the teleportation location.

There may be, or there may not be.

At this time, the situation he is facing is undoubtedly the latter.

This is not a big trouble for Chen Xuan.

Before coming, he had thought about it. If he appeared in an uninhabited place, he would use the wings of [Spirit of the Void] to fly out and look for people.

You know, there are many people in Japan and little land, so it is easy to find a place with people.

If he travels to a place with people, he has also been disguised, so let him be exposed.

He was somewhat unscrupulous in his vest.

He looked around and found that the surrounding forests were dense.

In addition, the night was gradually falling, and the sky and the earth were dark.

Chen Xuan first closed his eyes and activated spatial perception, and then spread the wings of [Spirit of the Void] and flapped his wings with a layer of magic shield.

With [Second-level Stealth], it was enough for him to quietly go to a nearby town with people.

There was no signal in this place, so the international roaming phone card he asked Su Lape to get was useless.

He took out the navigator and took a look at the direction and anchor point.

He immediately flew north.

There was a town not far away.
