Thinking of this, the plan in Dan Feng's heart began to slowly take shape; it would only take a few nights to know whether that male with the abnormal expression was the Hitogami apostle or not.
If it was, then that would be good; if not, then he would think of another way to find the Hitogami apostle.
The time for buying rice passed quickly. After greeting several hundred customers, the White Rice Shop finally welcomed a brief respite.
However, the inventory of white rice was still quite sufficient; several rooms in the back were neatly stacked with hundreds of bags of white rice, which meant that in the short term, they completely didn't need to worry about the white rice being in short supply.
Dan Feng also didn't need to replenish the quantity of white rice.
At this moment, Dan Feng felt it necessary to have a private conversation with Roxy Migurdia about the matter of the suspected Hitogami apostle.
So, he took Roxy Migurdia's hand and, under the strange gazes of Mayibeia and Galdaruf, pulled her to a relatively secluded place with no other people interfering.
As soon as they arrived there, Dan Feng immediately told Roxy Migurdia everything he had seen and all the speculations arising from it, without holding anything back.
"Hiss..." After hearing Dan Feng's account, Roxy Migurdia couldn't help but gasp.
"Because of the Darius matter, I almost forgot about the Hitogami apostle still in Millishion!" She said self-reproachfully while annoyedly patting her own head, "How could I forget such an important matter!"
Seeing this, Dan Feng quickly comforted her: "Don't blame yourself too much; after all, Mayibeia is safe and sound now, and the words left by Hitogami are obviously more capable of attracting our attention and importance than the Hitogami apostle."
"So now we only need to confirm whether that person is the Hitogami apostle. If my guess is correct, in the next few nights, that Hitogami apostle will quietly come to our White Rice Shop."
Dan Feng's voice was very certain; after all, from his modern person's way of thinking, this method was clearly the most likely one.
Roxy Migurdia's brows slightly furrowed, revealing a puzzled expression, "Hmm? What would he do by coming to the White Rice Shop to harm Mayibeia? Poison her?" Her question blurted out, seeming to find this idea somewhat inconceivable.
Dan Feng revealed a faint smile, looking at Roxy Migurdia with a praising gaze, "Correct, it's poisoning."
Then, Dan Feng explained in detail: "Now magic stone disease is ineffective against Mayibeia, so he might put lethal poison in the white rice being sold."
"In this way, Mayibeia and even Galdaruf would be caught by the knight order on the charge of poisoning and harming others. If they can't explain themselves clearly, they would definitely be executed."
After hearing Dan Feng's analysis, Roxy Migurdia's heart also couldn't help but tighten.
Although this method was despicable, it was very effective.
If the Hitogami apostle didn't have powerful combat strength, then using sinister and cunning methods became their first choice, and poisoning was undoubtedly one of the most common among them.
Of course, detoxification magic was still quite authoritative, but if you didn't use detoxification magic in time, you would really be poisoned to death.
"Then are we going to stay here for the next few nights?" Roxy Migurdia inquired.
Dan Feng nodded.
"There's no need to tell Mayibeia and the others about this matter; after all, it's related to Hitogami, and getting them involved isn't very good." Dan Feng reminded Roxy Migurdia not to let it slip.
Roxy Migurdia obediently nodded, "I know, I won't do that."
After finalizing that they would stay at the White Rice Shop tonight, Dan Feng and Roxy Migurdia returned to the White Rice Shop again, preparing to see how much money they had made in just a few hours.
They didn't know until they calculated, and were startled when they did.
In total, 264 bags of white rice were sold, earning 792 Millis silver coins.
This income was already quite terrifying; after all, converted, they had earned 79 Millis gold coins in this short period of time.
However, this was only the beginning. As long as the white rice suited the public's taste afterward, it could similarly sell well, and that would be when they truly made money.
...
When they finished a day's work, Dan Feng and Roxy Migurdia bid farewell to Mayibeia and Galdaruf.
They bought some food nearby to fill their stomachs, preparing for the lying-in-wait operation later at night.
In the blink of an eye, time arrived at night. At this time, there were many adventurers on the street who had just finished a day of adventuring, preparing to go to restaurants or taverns to wash away the fatigue from their bodies.
The Millishion knight order began their night patrol work.
This was already something that Millishion had to experience every day.
The only purpose of them doing this was to prevent people from violating the laws of the Holy Country of Millis under the cover of night.
Just at this moment, Dan Feng gently used wind magic to blow out the candles in the room, then used his Imaginary Energy to lock the door from the outside.
Everything was ready; he and Roxy Migurdia just quietly waited for the target's arrival like this.
"Dan Feng, I'm a bit tired." Roxy Migurdia lay on the table, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
After hearing this, Dan Feng softly replied: "Mm, after experiencing a day of high-intensity work, feeling tired is normal. You rest for a while first; with me here, it's fine."
Dan Feng's voice was gentle and soothing, able to bring comfort to Roxy Migurdia's weary heart.
His hand unconsciously placed on Roxy Migurdia's head, gently stroking it.
This technique made Roxy Migurdia feel incomparably comfortable; she couldn't help but close her eyes and begin to enjoy this moment of tranquility.
Dan Feng looked at Roxy Migurdia's quiet appearance, and a warm current also surged in his heart.
However, he didn't forget the purpose of their trip.
He quietly thought about what might happen next.
If a Hitogami apostle really came, then without needing to say more, he would unhesitatingly kill him.
After all, regarding Hitogami's matters, he didn't have much interest in understanding, let alone it being just an ordinary apostle.
...
As Dan Feng expected, that Hitogami apostle truly as he thought, holding poison, sneaked out the door, looking like he was heading straight for the White Rice Shop, preparing to poison it.
'This time Hitogami should pay attention to me, right? After all, I've almost completed the task.' He thought secretly while walking, and at the same time was guessing what kind of advice Hitogami would give him next.
And the poison in his hand was even more something he had carefully prepared.
The components of this poison were not simple; it was fused from the venom of a spider magic creature and snake-type magic creatures. Its toxicity was so strong that it was enough to poison many adults to death.
Not only that, in order to make the poison more concealed, he had specially prepared it into a colorless and odorless appearance.
In this way, he only needed to slightly soak a portion of the rice in the bag, and the poison would silently seep in, and normal people wouldn't be able to detect any abnormality at all.
