Chapter 1797: Tracing the suspect (Ⅰ)

"I feel that the thieves are not only short and short, but also thin. They exude a rocky and fresh earthy smell from head to toe. The sharp voice sounds a bit like a dwarf," Garu recalled.
Although the stone blind barbarians have bad eyes, but their sensitive sense of smell and bat-like echo positioning talent can replace the role of vision to a certain extent. Joan believes that Garu's judgment on the thief's body, smell and voice is credible.
"From Garoo's description, thieves are very suspected as gnomes. I suspect that this case is inseparable from the subterranean gnome family in Soder Rock City." Klein speculated stroking his thick beard.
"Eight out of nine, that group of little dwarfs did it!" Shorts said contemptuously. "The dwarf of this race is well known. It is full of whimsical lunatics, cheeky scammers, and of course cunning and thieves thieves. It’s too normal to be a dog and a dog!"
"Mr. Hodge hired a lot of pygmy miners. Will it be the cunning little guys guarding the theft?" Schultz proposed a vision.
Grey Bird shook his head gently: "This is unlikely, if they really have such a skill, why should they come to be a miner."
"The miner may just be a disguise to facilitate their criminal activities." Klein paused, seeming to suddenly think of something, and turned to look at Joan: "Do you remember the gnome kid who was exploring with us?"
"You mean Belling?"
"Yes, he often wanders around the mining area and can talk to anyone. It’s flattering. Brother Joan, if I remember correctly, Bellin is also a mage, right? I don’t know if he will Perform'Petrochemical'..."
"Are you suspicious of Belling?"
"That's not enough! Just casually say, brother, don't worry about it."
Klein grinned reluctantly and quickly digressed, not mentioning Belling.
Joan wanted to say that Bellin would never be a thief, but then he swallowed back to his lips.
What qualifications do you have to guarantee Belling?
As for theft, wasn't Belllin's previous conviction what happened in Oknil?
Garou seemed to be aware of Joan's low mood and approached him two steps, whispering: "Dr. Vader, although I also think the gnome is very suspect, there are two details that impressed me, and they do not support this. A guess."
"Tell me, what are the details?" Joan asked curiously.
"That group of thieves seems to use the Tu language, which is the language of the earth element creatures and the goblins. Although the gnome can also speak the Tu language, the same race usually does not communicate in this language." Garu said cautiously .
Joan nodded in agreement. Gnomes have their own ethnic language, and there is no need to speak Tu language among themselves.
"Dr. Vader, after I was hit by the thief’s petrified magic, it didn’t turn into a stone statue in an instant. It took about a minute or two from the beginning of petrification to the complete loss of consciousness. During this period, I vaguely heard that two thieves led After a quarrel, the other party's name was revealed inadvertently. One seemed to be named Karaca, and the other seemed to be Robin Hood. None of them sounded like the usual names of the gnome.
"Karaka and Robin Hood?" Joan jotted down these two names and said gratefully to Garoo, "Thank you for the clues you provided, which helped me a lot."
At this time, the Grey Bird's discussion with Klein and Schorz also came to an end, and turned to Joan: "Dr. Vader, we are going to check around the mining area. Recently, there are no suspicious gnomes. You also accompany us. Are you going to investigate?"
Joan shook his head gently and said to Grey Bird, Klein and Schultz: "Go, I plan to stay here for a while, maybe I can find other clues."
"Well, Dr. Vader, good luck."
The Gray Bird left Garoo to assist Joan to continue to search the warehouse, and hurried away with the two dwarfs.
"Garu, take me to the warehouses 3 and 8 to see."
"Okay, Dr. Vader, please follow me."
Garou led the way through the heavy sentries and led Joan to visit the other two stolen warehouses.
Warehouse No. 3, which was the first to be stolen, has now returned to normal storage functions. Joan asked Garru to communicate with the safe and the four security guards who were on guard, and finally convinced them to open the safe and show the coarse crystal to Joan.
Twenty cuboid minerals are neatly placed in the iron cabinet, which looks like large square bricks.
Joanne picked up a piece and weighed it. It weighed almost 10 pounds, and a group of twenty coarse crystals, exactly one ton.
"Garoo, are the coarse crystals produced in the mining area all of this uniform specification?"
"Yes, Dr. Vader, after the original crushing, the impurities are removed, and finally compressed by the machine. The coarse crystals pressed out are such long cubes with the same size component, which is convenient for storage and inventory." Garu explained.
"In addition to our mining area, coarse crystal processing plants established by other races in the ground, are the coarse crystals produced using this specification?"
"That's not necessarily the case." Garu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "As far as I know, the mine on the opposite side is also using this process."
"What if the mines run by humans are excluded?" Joanne asked next.
"I'm afraid it will be gone." Garu further explained, "There are not many races in the underground world capable of smelting magic crystals, mainly the dark elves of Orknil, the dwarf of Sudri Rock City, and the gray dwarf of Glasto. , And the stone giant of Blimir."
"These four underground cities all have magic crystal processing plants, but the process standards they use are different from our mines. The coarse crystals produced by drow and dwarf are more compact. The coarse crystals of the gray dwarf are cubic, and the giant crystals of the stone giant are very Large, each weighing 50 pounds."
"In addition to these four big dungeons, other races in the underground world, such as war lizards and orcs, also have a set of methods to smelt the magic crystal raw stones, but they are small workshops with rough craftsmanship, and the size of the coarse crystals produced is not uniform. Specifications."
Garou's account confirms Joan's conjecture, and an idea for stolen goods comes to mind.
Taking a deep look at the large chunks of neatly stacked coarse-grained bricks in the safe, Joan kept the impression in front of him in mind, then closed the safe and turned to sit on the crate next to the safe and opened the cast. The material pack, take out a forked branch and a red cloth, and start casting.
As the spellcasting ceremony proceeded, the magic net in the warehouse shuddered regularly, and Joan threw the red cloth into the air. At the next moment, the red cloth suddenly burst and transformed into a large group of bats, each of which had only the fist of an adult. So big, screaming and circling around Joan.
