It didn't take long for them to see the town of Creekwood. Sure enough, as Cross judged, the defense of Ximu Town has been strengthened, not only has the guards increased, but the town has actually built a ring of walls.

Guards patrol the walls with torches.

"There are a dozen guards, how do we get in, Lord Cross. ”

"Just go inside. We are not their enemies. ”

"In a mess like this with Klein Collar, they're going to stop us. ”

"Don't worry, just follow me. ”

"Yes. ”

Close and Lancelot hadn't even approached the walls when they were spotted by the guards patrolling the walls, "You two are not allowed to go any further. ”

Seeing that the two of them had stopped obediently, the two guards stepped down from the city wall, apparently intending to examine the two Crosses.

And when the guards saw Cross, they stopped in surprise, "Silver-Eyed Cross?"

"You should call me Lord Cross Klein. ”

The two guards hurriedly saluted, "Please forgive our rudeness, Lord Cross Klein. ”

"We want to see your lord. ”

"Yes, we'll take you there. ”

In this way, Cross and Lancelot entered Brookwood without any problems.

Legend has it that the town is rich in cedar trees and has a small stream running through the town, which is how the town got its name.

But in fact, Ximu Town not only has no streams, but also is not a rich production area of fir trees, this place is basically worthless, and it is precisely because of this that Ximu Town is relatively closed.

The people who settled in this town were accustomed to self-sufficiency and were reluctant to go out, and people from outside the town would not come to such a place for no reason.

However, this kind of town attracts a small number of people, the population movement here is very small, relatively isolated from the outside world, and it is also located in a hilly area rich in grass and trees. These people regard such places as holy places, and these people are alchemists who are rejected by most of humanity.

This is another reason why Cross chose to come to Creekwood. If he could meet a true alchemist here, then magic potions might no longer be a problem for Cross.

Of course, there are some other rumors about witches in this place, which is also one of the purposes of Cross's trip, if he can get information about witches, then he will be able to understand more about magic, and thus the power of the old gods in his body.

After the two followed the guards, they found that Ximu Town was surprisingly quiet, and the residents here may have the habit of going to bed early, and they didn't see a few people along the way, but there were quite a few patrolling guards.

"In front of you is the residence of the lord, Lord Cross, please wait here first, and I will report to the lord. ”

"No, let's go in by ourselves. ”

"Then we'll show you the way. ”

The residence of the lord of Ximu Town was quite simple, basically no different from the houses of ordinary residents, and there was not even a guard at the door, and Cross couldn't help but sigh at the lord's frugality.

He followed the two guards into the house, but was chased out by the lord's maid, "Who are you? Go out now. ”

The guard who led the way introduced Cross to the maid before leaving.

"I'm sorry, Lord Cross Crane, our lord is taking a bath, I hope you can be patient and I will let you know when our lord is done washing. ”

"We should just say we're sorry, we shouldn't have just broken into the lord's residence. ”

Cross did find that his behavior was a bit reckless, and the reason why he did that was because he didn't want Gawain and Nia to wait too long. However, he is still more optimistic now, because, in his opinion, as long as the lord has taken a bath, things can go smoothly. How much time can you spend taking a shower? So, he waited outside the house with Lancelot.

......

In the lord's residence, the maid hurried to the second floor and opened a room door in a panic, "Miss Serena, Miss Serena!"

"What's so flustered?" said a woman in a black translucent dress in the room, putting down her paintbrush and turning around.

"Cross Klein is here. ”

"I thought that Seaada's army was back again, so don't report this kind of trivial matter, didn't you see that I was adjusting the puppet. Serena turned away and continued to carefully sketch on the puppet.

"Uh...... Miss Serena...... It's no small feat, he's Cross Crane!"

"I don't know. Serena was a little impatient.

"Silver-Eyed Cross!"

"Huh!?" Serena dropped the brush in her hand to the ground and turned around again, "The one the organization is going to use?"

"Yes. ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier! Where are they?"

"Waiting outside the house. ”

"What! How did the guards let him in? Didn't I say you had to get my permission to let people into Creek Town! Which guard let him in, and I would punish him well. ”

"Miss Serena, this group of guards are mercenaries hired only before yesterday, and you haven't trained them yet. Our original guards have all died in the battle with the Seattas. ”

"Oh...... seems to have this happened, and the corpses have been disposed of? It didn't make a bad impression on Silver-Eyed Cross, did it?"

"All the corpses have been eaten by your pets. ”

"Oh...... Looks like I've reached the age of forgetfulness......"

"Miss Serena, you're too focused on dolls. ”

"Puppet! Oops, the puppet of the former lord of Ximu Town has been destroyed, help me find out which puppet can be used directly. ”

"There's also a doll named Alyssa, but it's a female doll. ”

"Just use that, go get me here, I'm going to need to re-fix that doll, it's going to take more than an hour. By the way, are they willing to wait that long?"

"I told them that the lord was taking a bath. ”

"It's a good response, and it just so happens that I chose a female doll. ”

"However, if you choose a female doll......

"It's okay, I just wanted to see how much Silvereye Cross is. By the way, what is the relationship between this puppet named Alyssa and the original lord? ”

"Alyssa is the lover of the original lord. ”

"Ah......h ”

"Yes! ”

"Hurry up and bring that doll, I'm going to try to manipulate it with magic, and I need to blend in with this character called Alyssa,"

"Yes!"

"Also, the organization's rings are taken off and hidden. ”
