Finally there is a recommendation, yello-kneeling to collect and red tickets!!

The investigation was proceeding in an orderly manner in the secret.[]

Everyone has suspicion, and the gods cannot give the answer. The red-robed monk had to work hard himself. He was responsible for the senior monks in the silence sanctuary, and Mario monks went to examine the gray-robed monks. Brandik had to examine his peers and later generations one by one, while Leo needed to interrogate his people one by one. This was a meticulous and long life, and there was not much time left for them. The alchemist ruled out the vast majority of people, and the rest, he decided to take the initiative.

"Mr. Rava Joray," he knocked on the merchant's door. The latter lived in the same room with his son and several warriors of the Crow Tribe. "Can we talk alone?"

"Speak here if you want to say anything." The merchant's son came over and blocked the alchemist and his father. "Since you were with you, there has been no good things. What else do you want to say is ulterior motive?"

"Sasha!" Rava Joray stopped him and pulled him away. "Shut up."

"Why aren't I allowed to say it?" The latter angrily shook his father's hand, "I just told the truth. Look at what we have experienced! Since we met you, what else we have encountered besides running and fighting? Is this kind of reward for a moment of kindness?" His resentment suddenly burst out and he shouted at the alchemist.

Leo listened patiently to him. "What kind of reward do you want?" he sneered, "Money? Or gem?"

"I..." The businessman's son opened his mouth wide and could not say a word. "I don't know!" he shouted irritably, "I only remember that all you white devils have brought us disaster."

Li Ou stared at him coldly without saying a word. He looked at the other party's reaction in his eyes and kept it secretly in his heart. He was an object worth paying attention to, and Li Ou thought so, a potential nail.

"He saved our lives." Rava Joray said angrily, "Isn't this enough? What else do you want to get back?" Yes, what else is he counting on? "If it weren't for them, we would have become like that! I had nightmares all night, and every time I woke up, I was glad that we had good luck, and you still blamed them without any basis?"

"But……"

"But what?" Rava Joray yelled in disgust. "You have eyes, and you see what those people have become? Those who chat and drink with you have become ugly demons, and you want to become that way?"

"I, I don't want to."

"Then you just shut up! Go away." Sasha stared at the alchemist with anger and dissatisfaction, unwilling to let go. "Stay here well." Rava Joray ordered, "Don't go anywhere." His son cursed, but there was no way to refute, watching his father walk towards Leo.

"Mr. Lava Joray, can we leave?" he asked.

"Yes. I'll go with you."

Li Ou nodded, "Brothers of the Crow, please inform your patriarch and let him come to me." He told them, "There are still optimistic about this person, don't let him stay alone. Even if he goes to the bathroom, he must follow him closely, and keep pace with him."

The merchant didn't know what he ordered, but he saw something wrong from the face of the crow man and their actions. "Mr. Li Ou, what's wrong?" His son cursed and wanted to walk up. A crow man simply stepped forward and pressed Sasha with his iron palm, and letting him struggle hard was useless.

"This...why is this?" Rava Joray asked in surprise.

"Let's go," Leo walked straight out of the house, "Come on, Mr. Lava Joray," he said with a blank expression, "He will be fine, I promise. But we must always guard against unexpected emergencies."

"Emergency? That's-"

Leo ignored him and pushed the door out.

Along the way, Rava Qiao Lei was trembling with a pale face and restlessness. Sweat on his face kept flowing like a waterfall, soaking his clothes. When he passed by the square where the boys practiced martial arts, he could no longer suppress his anxiety and finally spoke. "Mr. Li Ou, what's wrong? What happened?" His voice trembled. "Mr. Li Ou?"

The alchemist kept silent and ignored Rava Jore's fear. Until he was far away from the square and there was no one around, Li Ou said softly after considering it, "Someone has become a traitor without knowing what he is." He said briefly.

The merchant was shocked. He waved his arms and didn't know where to put them. "Do you doubt us?" He explained in a hurry, stuttering and speaking without hesitation. "No, no, I don't know, neither Sasha, we haven't become demons, how can you doubt us? We are fighting side by side with you. If possible, I may also follow your order to kill the enemy."

However, Leo never spoke again. He walked silently and kept silent, exerting invisible pressure on him. Lava Jolei became even more panicked and fearful. He urgently tried to defend Sasha's confrontation. But no matter what guarantee he made and how he swears to the gods, Leo didn't say a word, and his face remained silent.

After walking a little longer, he was approaching the church. Feifeiduo was waiting for him in the shadow of a statue. "Mr. Jazz." He saluted. His arms, wearing a short shirt, were exposed, showing large and powerful muscles, and the silver axe surface showed a cold chill. As the crow man moved, the sharp blade as thin as paper was shining, enough to shock the nightgown.

Lava Joray's face turned pale and sat on the ground. "Stand up, Mr. Rava Joray." Li Ou told him calmly, "No one killed you, we are just talking and walking with us."

At the Alchemist's instructions, the leader of the Crow Man dragged the merchant up from the ground. "Go!" He silenced a threat: his right hand touched the handle of the axe wrapped around the shark's skin.

Rava Joray followed in fear and anxiety.

When passing the church, Leo stopped and pointed inside, "Go and pray to your gods first, Mr. Lava Joray." He told the other party, "I respect your faith and I am waiting for you. Of course, I advise you not to pray that the gods will blind me, it will not work." He pushed open the door of the church.

Rava Joley hesitated. "This...is not necessary. I did nothing, no-"

"Didn't it mean that only the gods can judge your sins?" Leo interrupted and pointed at the dark hall of the sacred hall. "Please come in. Let the gods listen to your confession-"

"I'm not guilty!"

"Please come in." Li Ou stared at him, his tone unquestionable. "Don't worry, we don't have the habit of eavesdropping."

After Rava Joray entered, Leo closed the door and waited quietly. He didn't care whether the other party was really praying to the gods, nor did he care whether the other party was saying something to himself. He just wanted to lock the other party in there, let his fear and anxiety swallow his psychological defense and let the pressure overwhelm it. As for praying... faith cannot suppress the panic spreading in his heart.

Sure enough, when Rava Joray came out, his face became even more desolate and his eyes were filled with despair of being abandoned. The gods could not save anyone, and he was destined not to receive a response.

"Mr. Feifeido, please stay outside and not allow anyone to get close." Li Ou took him to a quiet meditation room built around the sacred temple - this was a secret room specially vacated by the red-robed monks, isolated from each other, quiet and not afraid of others pricking their ears like gophers.

"Sit." Li Ou pointed to a chair in the room and said. Rava Jolei stood in place timidly, motionless. "Sit down." He raised the volume slightly. The merchant trembled and sat down carefully, with only half of his butt sitting on the chair. His left and right feet kept crossing back and forth, and he was still not at ease.

Leo sat down opposite him.

"Don't be nervous." He smiled slightly, "I just want to have a good chat with you-"

Rava Joray said uneasyly, "Are you going to interrogate me?"

"If you think so," Leo looked into his eyes, "I think so."

"But I did nothing."

"The prisoners who tried to get rid of themselves said so."

"I am not a prisoner! I have done nothing! My son, Sasha did nothing, I know him." If it weren't for Sasha, why did he bring Sasha in every defense when he asked him? "How can you think so?" Rava Joray widened his eyes. "He is my son, my son. Every parent is like this! He is my only child! I swear! I dare to swear in the name of the gods: If it were us, we will never be reborn."

"In my opinion, it's a sign of excitement." He pointed out.

"You are not a father, how do you know your father's mood?" Rava Joray's face turned red and his anger surged. "Okay, just talk about your girlfriend! If someone doubts them, what will you do? Do you also say the same as me?"

"Quiet." said the alchemist.

"White Devil, Leo, I swear, it's not what we did!"

"Quiet, Mr. Lava Joray." Leo reminded him again, "No one who is noisy in the sanctuary of the Silent Sect will end up. Yesterday's guest had already had his tongue cut off. I think you saw the piece of meat thrown on the steps of the hall."

Only the narrow window penetrated into the bright room, only Rava Qiao Lei was breathing rapidly.

"Yes, the merchant pursues rewards. Sasha is a businessman." He said softly, mixed with unclear defenses. "But, no return can be exchanged for friends. Businessmen who care about gains and losses in everything will eventually become beggars. This has long been a lesson for the past. How could I not understand? You are my friends, so how can I harm my own friends? Just betray them for a little benefit?"

"I know this," said the alchemist. Give up the pressing step by step and adopt a gentle policy. "Suspicion is not a slander. So, I'm looking for you first, not Sasha. I just want to figure out something."

"I'm willing to do anything as long as you can clear your doubts." Rava Joray lay down on the chair dejectedly, licking his dry and cracked lips. "I want to drink."

"Not here," said Leo, "only water."

He picked up the pottery pot containing water and poured a cup for the merchant. He grabbed the cup and drank it all. "Ask." The other party said with a smirk.

Leo thought about how to speak. "You have been to Siris County, right?" The alchemist decided to start with the location. The most unfair places often reveal problems. "Are you a native of Siris County?"

"Yes, there's nothing to lie to." Rava Jore said strangely, with confusion in his eyes. "What's wrong with this?"

"I ask, you answer." Leo reminded the other party seriously. "I am not responsible for explaining your doubts. At least for now, until the traitor is found. I can tell you what you want to know."

"You ask, I answer." The businessman repeated lonelyly.

The alchemist ignored it. He thought for a while and asked another question. "You mentioned the church of the Mother of the Desert, saying that their spread was like a plague." He reminded the other party, "They started out...I mean, where did the rumors about the Mother of the Desert come from? Siris County?"

"Yes." Rava Joray said with his shoulders as if he had lost all his strength, "He appeared without warning. Suddenly one day he heard her deeds singing on the streets and alleys. But at first, no one believed it-"

"—I already know this." Leo interrupted him, "Tell me about those rumors and Duke Patton?"

"Duke Patton?"

"Yes, some people call him Prince Patton."

"Oh, it's him. A greedy fat man." Rava Joray commented, "A total speculator. He goes wherever he has interests. He has made a move in most shipyards and overseas trade in Siris County. Even real estate is controlled by his confidants. In Siris County, if someone's house catches fire, his confidants will appear and force the other party to sell the house to him at a very low price, otherwise he can only watch his house and the things inside are burned completely..."

"Image description." But Leo still stopped the other party's endless accusations. Rava Joray never talked about the main topic. He planned to change the entry point. "I heard that he would not raise it?"

"How did you know?" Rava Joray was surprised for a moment, but was immediately replaced by disdain. "Forget it, I'm just fussing. This is well known."

"But now, it is said that he has a new love and is looking for fun all day long?"

"That's right," said Lava Joray. "It's said in every corner of the streets."

"When did it start? Who is his new love?"

Lava Joray was stunned for a moment. "I...this..."

"When the Mother of the Desert appears?" the alchemist reminded.

"Yes." The businessman was puzzled. "But what does it matter?"

It really has nothing to do with it. It has nothing to do with the content of the interrogation. The alchemist just wants to confirm his judgment. Now it seems that everything can be concluded: it is mostly a physiological disease, and an obsidian is enough to solve all problems, and subtle magic can win people's hearts without realizing it. He thinks that his guess is close to the truth. Therefore, the interrogation can continue, and a simple question can solve their troubles.

"Mr. Lava Joray, answer me a question." Leo said seriously and seriously, staring at the other party's eyes and face, not letting go of the slightest change in his face. Lava Joray subconsciously sat upright, the muscles on his face tense, and his eyes avoided his sight. "Have you ever had any weird dreams in the past few days?"

Confusion flashed in his eyes. "Ah?" He was surprised for a moment, "Is nightmare a calculating?" the merchant said with a wry smile, "There are demons and corpses everywhere, except for flames and blood, and screams in his ears. I suffer this every night."

"What did you do in your dream?"

This time, Rava Joray hesitated for a long time, with embarrassment and escape on his face. "I... I shivered and shouted." He stammered under the stern look of the alchemist, "Like... like a coward."

It shouldn't be him. Leo thinks so.

Nightmare can make people fragile, but if you want to deceive the people who are deeply involved, you can only make them strong and invincible. However, Rava Jolei is not a warrior, he is a businessman. It is their instinct to seek good fortune and avoid bad luck.

So he let him rest aside, and he waited in another room beside him, asking the Crowman to find another suspicious person, Rava Jore's son.

"How did you do my father?" As soon as he entered the door, Sasha asked loudly, turning a blind eye to the alchemist's kindness to bring water. "Did you kill him? Or lock him up? What did we do wrong?"

"He is resting in another room. After I ask questions, you can go find him and go back and have a good rest." Leo said calmly, "Don't worry, it will end soon. Don't look at the outside, there are only two of us here, and I will not torture confessions, nor will I use clumsy means such as magic. It is a very simple question."

"Okay. Then say it quickly," he moved the chair, placed it heavily opposite Li Ou, sat up on it, folded his hands in his chest, and sneered, "Let me hear what your problem is."

Leo asked the same question as Rava Jolei.

"Dream?" Sasha sneered angrily, "What else can I dream of? It's nothing more than money and wealth. A rich life, of course, is the demons that roar in front of me all night. Those guys... those guys, who were obviously chatting and laughing together before, but in a blink of an eye... I saw them tearing off their faces and revealing the demon's skin inside... Do you still want to hear it?"

Leo waved his hand. That was enough. Perhaps it wouldn't be him. The alchemist let him out. Another guy who was occupied by fear, a real person. They would not be blinded by the promise of nothingness and believed only what they saw in front of them. Leo even suspected that Sasha? Jore was just a false believer who said he believed in the gods but kept cursing the gods in his heart.

However... it's not them? Who could it be?

While waiting for the progress of the monks in red robe, he thought about who he had missed. The alchemist counted one by one: monks, boys, outsiders in the team... He missed his only one, a group of unbelievers.
