Chapter 349: Captain Ghost (Part 1)

City W, afternoon.

With the lessons of the town, Gu Yun and others came to the most famous commercial center in the kingdom and went straight to the clothing store. They first accompanied Vera to buy a thick robe, who wrapped himself tightly, and some materials necessary for casting were left on the carriage.

Perhaps because of the death of Archbishop Claymenge, witch hunters patrolling the streets were everywhere, and many guards spontaneously joined the patrol ranks.

City W is more severe than Marian imagined, and there are still a steady stream of merchants coming and going, but many merchants were stopped by the witch hunters to search their luggage. They saw with their own eyes that several merchants whose suspicious items were found were taken away by the witch hunters.

In fact, City W was once one of the most common cities for witches. In addition to the weak power of the royal power and the Holy See in City W, they could buy various scarce spell casting materials here. After the witch found the hunt, many merchants who specialized in selling spell casting materials were also persecuted to varying degrees.

However, what surprised Marian was that in this tense atmosphere, Gu Yun actually walked on the street in a swagger in his strange outfit, and his walking posture and expression looked particularly arrogant from afar.

The look seemed to be telling the patrol witch hunter, "Don't not check me, otherwise I will look down on you."

She thought she was already brave enough to dare to go to the city where the Holy See was headquartered, but after seeing Gu Yun, Marian understood what it means to be a person outside of the world.

Putting her heart in mind, she felt that if she was a witch hunter or a guard in the city, she would have seen someone walk so arrogantly, so she didn't have to go up to ask for reasons, but tortured the other party directly.

But what surprised Marian and Vera even more was that not only did no one of the witch hunters and guards stop Gu Yun, but many people smiled from afar and nodded to them.

Gu Yun's arrival naturally caused many guards to whisper:

"Don't stand there, work hard, haven't you seen the superior send someone to patrol?"

Marian saw an old guard slap the young guard on the back of the head and point the other person.

"The boss sent someone here? Where?"

"Over there, haven't you seen the captain take action personally?"

"But the captain is not Bao..."

"You know, I mean the captain of the higher level, and maybe even the messenger sent by the king!"

The old guards are justified and well-founded - do ordinary people dare to do this at such a critical moment, and still walk on the street with such an arrogant attitude?

Archbishop Claymenge died, and anyone with discerning eyes knew that he had never been in the way of dealing with the royal ranks over the years. Sending people to inspect at this time has explained to a certain extent the king's intention.

"You are still young, don't ask so many questions about whether there are any or not, look good and study hard."

The above is the entire process by which the old guards inferred through the particularly arrogant walk of Gu Yun that the royal sect was about to suppress the religious sect.

Is this a good deal?

As an enemy, Marian couldn't stand it anymore - she was the famous witch of the twilight, synonymous with this dark age. Would you really not come to investigate us?

By chance, she and the old guard looked at each other.

The old guard was stunned at first, then stood firm in front of Marian and performed a standard knightly ceremony.

"Gu Yun..."

This was the first time Marian had received recognition from the enemy, which made her mind a little confused. "To be honest, do you know how to bewitch people's hearts?"

Although witches can also bewitch people through spells, their spells can only be applied to a few people and cannot cover the entire city.

"No."

"Then why do these people look at you with this kind of eyes?"

"How do I know?"

In fact, Gu Yun himself was full of doubts. He thought his eyes were straightforward and clear enough - just come and check me, and if you don't agree, fight.

As a result, the people who received his eyes responded to him in a friendly manner.

"The people here... are not right."

Gu Yun whispered.

"It should be that something is wrong with you."

Vera also whispered.

Generally, no one will provoke others with his eyes when he sneaks in, right?

Due to Gu Yun's provocations everywhere, they did not cause unnecessary trouble along the way. Although Marian and Vera insisted that Gu Yun's method of not causing trouble was very strange, they still successfully came to the stolen museum mentioned in the newspaper.

The museum is very conspicuous, almost at the center of W City.

Marian has visited this city more than once, so he is naturally familiar with the landmark building of the museum.

"The leaders of W City hope to attract more people by building a museum, but with little success."

Before entering the museum, Marian said casually.

The other party has a beautiful wish, hoping to bring spiritual sustenance to the people of W City through the profound history in the museum.

However, he ignored that in this era, most ordinary people were busy making money to support their families and had no time to consider spiritual sustenance. It was no surprise that museums were neglected.

After entering the door, there was only an old man flipping at the entrance of the museum. Seeing Gu Yun and the other two coming in, the old man took off his glasses and looked at the few people. Without waiting for them to speak, he took the initiative to say, "Do you want to know about the mask?"

"Um."

Gu Yun nodded.

The old man showed a definite expression. He fiddled with the bookmarks and put the thick one aside. "The exhibits here can only attract people's attention when they are stolen... Come with me."

He hunched his back and walked slowly in front of him.

In the past, no one would have visited here once a week, but after the report of mask theft was published, the guards and reporters came to the door one after another, seriously asking about the mask. Many reporters also hypocritically expressed their regret and condolences after visiting.

"What do you want to know?"

"Is there any difference between the stolen mask?"

Vera thinks it is better for her to ask questions about this matter.

"The difference? Wow, young man, every cultural relics here have their own differences. In my opinion, they are all priceless treasures."

The old man seemed not satisfied with Vera's words, "But if you came to ask about its history, I can tell you that this mask was unearthed in Mexico and was eventually brought back here by Captain Rhine. There are more than these treasures brought back in this era... but there are some folk legends about this mask."

“Folk legend?”

"For example, the one carrying this mask is a ghost ship."
