Judging from his clothing, this halfling is probably a businessman.

In addition, Chen Xuan also discovered a place called [Corpse Pit] in the courtyard.

Does he know what's there without digging?

But before leaving, he opened both the underground cell and the [body pit].

In the large pit in the courtyard, a large number of scattered bones are wrapped in compacted soil, which makes people's scalp numb at first glance.

Chen Xuan did not dig thoroughly. It is conservatively estimated that there are at least dozens of corpses there. Judging from the thickness of the bones, they belong to all races. They should all be the victims killed by Sorel Moran during his years as a "black policeman"

.

After he was done, Chen Xuan left quickly from the backyard without stopping.

Reaching the second level of spiritual meditation has become his best "radar".

Once Sorel's disappearance was exposed, it wouldn't take long for someone to come to his yard to check.

Without disturbing anyone, Chen Xuan wore a hood and simply disguised himself before arriving at the White Rose Caravan.

Before he could even walk in, he was blocked by caravan guards.

Since she had relatively abundant funds, Ophelia hired contract guards for the caravan station regardless of the cost.

In addition to the silver-level team she hired before, she also hired a team of adventurers led by a silver-level ranger.

With magic tears as equal reward, these silver-level masters are very willing to accept the commission.

Putting aside other aspects, if anyone dares to break into the station, they will definitely be hunted down.

There are not many silver-level experts in the city, and they are considered iconic.

The small misunderstanding was quickly resolved, and Ophelia was practicing in the station.

On Sunday, she completed the handover of the main products for the day.

Not long ago, she successfully sold a box of chicken essence.

The main sales are still Magic Tears and aluminum tableware.

The master and servant gathered together in the central tent, where a second-level detection magic array was arranged.

It also integrates sound insulation, magic interference and other practical magic circles.

Even the scouts who master low-level stealth cannot approach here quietly.

If you have money and a way, you will be able to manage things efficiently.

Chen Xuan sat at the top of the table, and without any instructions, Ophelia took out a cash box.

This is all the remaining income from the White Rose Caravan after deducting expenses from the past three days in Naroa.

Procurement, bribery, hiring of guards, and purchasing of caravan talent and supplies all cost a lot of crowns.

But there was still a surplus of more than 200,000 kroner in the cash box.

Chen Xuan did not move the cash box, but raised his hand to push it back.

He saw the space storage bracelet on Ophelia's hand.

"Keep it, I still have money."

"The plan for the next few days remains unchanged. Try to collect space storage jewelry, high-level magic scrolls, elemental beads, and various practical magic props."

The storage tank of mercury he gave me before can still be sold for a long time. Currently, the daily shipment volume of Magic Tears is 400 to 500, which is maintained at a fairly stable level.

There is no need to increase shipments in the short term.

In Magtan City, many things cannot be bought with money.

Ophelia put away the cash box and nodded respectfully.

"By the way, Master, you want the contract bead!"

As she spoke, she took out a storage bag.

There are twelve black iron-level contract beads and three silver-level contract beads inside.

This is indispensable material for Chen Xuan to sign a contract with Blue Star.

After her master put away the contract bead, Ophelia reported the news she had heard in the alchemy workshop not long ago.

After listening patiently to her story, Chen Xuan suddenly felt that all the clues in his mind became clearer.

He looked at Ophelia and asked as if reviewing.

"In other words, your father purchased a large amount of deadly poisons and magic boiling potions?"

"And your stepmother bought a lot of psychedelic and stimulant drugs?"

"Yes, Master..."

Ophelia's tone was somewhat depressed when she answered.

Neither party spoke anymore, and after a moment of silence, Chen Xuan slowly spoke.

"I think the death of your biological mother may also have something to do with your father."

As soon as these words came out, Ophelia's head dropped even lower.

"I also found a clue."

"The Colchicum Merchant Group owns a secret dark gold mine."

Chen Xuan didn't pause any longer and spoke out his findings in one go.

Hearing the words "Dark Gold Mine", Ophelia, who was sitting in front of him, suddenly froze.

She seemed to have figured something out, and the expression on her face was very complicated, a little shocked and a little sad.

"You mean...?"

Chen Xuan understood what she meant and didn't reveal it, just nodded lightly.

Then he added.

"The force responsible for cooperative distribution in that dark gold mine is the red-haired Walton family!"

"Your stepmother is an outsider in the distribution of benefits, so she tried her best to get in."

"Since Harward's death, she and your father have torn apart the pretense of tacit understanding that they had had for so many years."

"It won't take long, there will be a battle!"

"As for your mother, the truth cannot be determined for the time being."

"But based on the known information, her death may have been the result of the joint action of your father and stepmother."

"This matter may need to be investigated from the beginning and end of the discovery of the dark gold mine."

Chen Xuan's words are no less than a bombshell.

Ophelia was seen frozen in place, then shook her head and sighed.

"No...impossible, father loves me so much..."

"He also loves his mother so much..."

"Even my name has the word 'Sharon' in it."

Chen Xuan slowly shook his head and did not refute.

In fact, he really wanted to say to Ophelia:

"Love and killing are not in conflict."

Ansetus is a shrewd fellow, there is no doubt about that.

He is also a mature and successful businessman.

For businessmen, when huge benefits arise, appropriate sacrifices and compromises are also acceptable.

Ophelia's childhood memories don't explain much.

Regardless of whether Ansetus had anything to do with Sharon's death, he was Ophelia's father.

As for Yusula's marriage to him, it was more like a compromise and disguise.

However, there are still many clues missing, and Chen Xuan does not want to make a final conclusion.

Ophelia is a clever girl who recovers from emotional breakdowns quickly.

He had already told her the direction, so how to check it was not Chen Xuan's concern.

The next stage is to wait until Ursula and Ansetus break up.

After giving Ophelia a few minutes to relax, he took out the [Magic Source] from the storage compartment.

The flickering [Demon Source] appeared in front of the table.

Successfully aroused the curiosity of the half-elf lady.

She could vaguely sense the pure magic power surging within the [Demon Source], which was somewhat like a demon species but different.
