Chapter 348 The Grand Inquisitor's Suspicion
The approach of the two attracted the attention of the guards, and there was a hint of vigilance in their sharp eyes.
The Chief Inquisitor immediately showed his ID to his colleagues, and then inquired about the origins of Banduma Agricultural Technology.
"Oh, you're talking about this." The member of the tribunal being questioned bowed respectfully to the Grand Inquisitor and hurriedly answered the two people in detail.
He had just joined the Inquisition for a year and was still a rookie. The man in front of him, with a weathered face and a serious expression, was a senior who deserved his respect.
"Banduma Agricultural Technology was established through cooperation between the top leaders of the Tribunal and Mr. Doctor. Mr. Doctor brought rice that can grow in saline-alkali land to Iberia. He reached a cooperation with the Tribunal to establish an agricultural company."
"Those people were originally reserve members of the Inquisition and were recruited into the company by Mr. Doctor. This operation was jointly initiated by Lord Carmen and Mr. Doctor."
"Unfortunately, we have limited funds and manpower at present, and cannot take care of other coastal areas. But after all, it is a good start. Iberia's future will be better..."
At this point, the member of the Tribunal smiled and scratched his head, a sincere and simple smile appearing on his face which was tanned by the scorching sun.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you." The Chief Inquisitor nodded to his colleague and left with the young Inquisitor.
"Senior, please take care."
"Sir, can't we find out more about the situation?" The young inquisitor quickened his pace to keep up with his commander.
"No need, we still have a mission, just do our own thing." The Grand Inquisitor lowered the brim of his hat and said lightly.
"What do you think of the Banduma agricultural technology?" The young Inquisitor looked back at the mysterious hooded man standing in the crowd and asked curiously.
"We'll see how long they can hold out, but since it's a decision made by the top brass of the Inquisition, there shouldn't be a problem."
"Well, you're right, I really hope this good thing can continue and spread to more towns."
"Hmm..." The Grand Inquisitor responded in a low voice, his mind drifting towards the calm sea.
In fact, he had hidden something from his temporary apprentice: he had spotted the iconic tricorne hat among the crowd gathered in front of the church.
The female Argo Islander with extraordinary fighting skills had a heavy sword, smooth silver hair and a large tricorn hat.
The reason why he didn't tell his apprentice was because he suspected that the abnormal activities of the terrifying fish were related to the female Agor Islander.
Since the last battle with the opponent, the abnormal activities of the terrifying fish have been mainly concentrated at night and not during the day.
In order to find out the relationship between the fish-fearing activities and the female Agor Islander, the Grand Inquisitor decided to secretly monitor her without alerting her.
The temporary apprentice lacks experience in stealth combat, and it would be easy to be exposed if he had her around, and she might get hurt in battle.
The intuition of the Argor Islander was very sharp, and combined with her aggressive fighting skills, the Inquisitor felt like the most ferocious scaly beast in the ocean, rushing straight towards him.
That heavy long sword could instantly break the thin rapiers they used. Facing her, siege was not necessarily the most appropriate strategy.
......
Skadi failed to find an opportunity after all, as the doctor was always surrounded by people from the Inquisition and Banduma Agricultural Technology.
She couldn't go up and talk to Anita, so she could only stay there bored, waiting for Anita to finish the registration.
I don’t know how long I waited, but Anita’s thin figure squeezed out of the line, and she couldn’t hide the smile on her face.
"Okay, Skadi, let's go back. Let's have a good meal tonight."
"Are you really going to reclaim the land? Your physical fitness is not good enough and you won't be able to hold on..." Skadi frowned. No one knew Anita's physical condition better than her.
With thin arms and legs, it's OK to pick up shells and dry the seaweed caught at the beach. But it's better to work in the sun and rain all day long, wielding a hoe to reclaim wasteland.
"No, the doctor saw that I was smart and said he would let me learn how to grow seedlings. Once the fields are cultivated, we can start planting."
"He's a really nice guy, and sounds quite young. I wonder what his face looks like under that hood. Why does he hide his appearance?"
Anita, who has temporarily solved her future food and clothing problems, finally has time to think about issues beyond survival.
"Didn't you say we were going back? Let's go..." Skadi ignored Anita's nagging and turned away alone.
"Hey...Hunter, why are you so anxious? Wait for me." Anita jogged to catch up with Skadi.
Surrounded by the crowd, the doctor's eyes under the hood caught the long silver hair moving away, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
......
"Swish, swish..." The cool, salty sea breeze brings the tides rich in luminous algae, gently caressing the coast. The seaside town is still desolate, but the arrival of the Inquisition and Banduma's agricultural technology has brought subtle changes.
In the shabby two-story building, Anita cooked a small pot of hot soup for the first time and brought it to Skadi's room.
The white-haired hunter was checking the long sword and related accessories in his weapon box. Seeing Anita come in, Skadi leaned the long sword against the wall, set up a small table, and sat obediently to prepare for dinner.
"Hunter, are you going out to look for someone tonight?" Anita put the still steaming pot on the table and spoke casually.
"Well, there are still a few suspicious points that have not been investigated clearly."
"What if I can't find it?"
"Then let's go to the next seaside town. I will definitely find her."
"The town is just starting to get better. Are you leaving?" Anita looked reluctant. Although she had not spent much time with the hunter and she was cold and weird and taciturn, Anita knew that she was a good person.
It's rare to have a friend who I can talk to, but now she is leaving and I don't even know her name.
"Well, maybe after a while. My presence will bring trouble to the town. It's better if you don't get too close to me."
During the time of investigation in the small town, Skadi gradually discovered a pattern: the terrifying fish in the sea seemed to be attracted by something and came ashore irregularly, and it seemed that he himself was the cause of this situation.
"...Well, let's not talk about that anymore, let's eat first." Anita shook her head, temporarily suppressed her reluctance to leave, and filled Skadi's cup with hot soup.
An unexpected guest came downstairs quietly.
