Murder Notes and Dragon Bone Calcination (First Update)

Whether for the reward of the Smoke Mission or for the safety of Flower Town and the Black Horse Island sea route, Dulu Michita had to die.

After Paris left, Liszt directly summoned the Smoke Mission.

"Mission complete. Reward: Millerxi Zhenli's research notes."
