The haunting of Benafort Manor soon became the talk of everyone in York Town for dinner.

Due to the Benafort family's deliberate cover-up of Vento's role in it, the version of the story that has been circulated is that the four grandmasters worked together to strangle the demons, and Grandmaster Damon Dart, who mastered the attributes of fire and wind, unfortunately fell in battle, and the Transcendental Guild will lower its flag at half-mast tomorrow in mourning.

As for the appearance of the evil ghost, there are countless stories, Jacques, who ran to the "Flower of the Heart" bar to get tomorrow's mission briefing, was teased by his father: "I heard that you defeated a three-story two-headed giant? Oh, no, some people say that it is a beautiful woman who can grow spikes more than a meter long?"

Jacques replied, "I'm going to say it's a hunchbacked old lady, do you believe it?"

So Jacques told his father the details of what had happened.

When talking about the ghost's "fear transformation" on Jacques and becoming his greatest fear, the hunchbacked old lady, Paul's mouth moved, and he stopped talking.

Jacques was keenly aware of what his father was trying to say, but he held back and continued on with his own thoughts.

At the end, Paul handed Jacques an envelope and said, "This is the joint location and joint code for tomorrow's mission."

You can't ask who the other person is, what they want to do, where they come from, or where they're going.

All you have to do is protect him, don't care what he does, you just follow him wherever he goes. It was protected for three days, and finally sent to the ship, and the mission was completed. ”

"Who, then, is going to be against him, and who am I going to guard against?" asked Jacques.

"I don't know, you can ask him if he wants to say anything. Paul replied.

Jacques sighed: "I always thought it was going to be another trouble, yesterday Marianne told me that the ghost is so weak that it only takes one ice pick to solve it, hehe......"

"This mission is good for you, trust me, my son. ”

"That's what you said when you lied to me when I was a kid. ”

"But you're cured! You remember everything very well when you were a child. ”

"Of course!"

"How did you feel when you passed by Medis this time, and do you have any impressions of where you were born?"

"Not at all, the white stone houses, they all look the same. But this time, after I flew into the sky in an airship, especially above the clouds, I felt that I had seen the scenery there before.

Didn't you say that my mother had a contract beast, an iron feather eagle, when I was a child, and where is it now?"

Paul looked down at the document and didn't look up: "I don't know, I guess I'm back in the western wasteland." ”

Jacques knew that his father would be very sad at the mention of his mother, so he didn't ask too much and left.

After Jacques left for a long time, Paul took out a metal ball from his pocket and played with it in his hand, and muttered: "Jacques's memory has recovered somewhat, otherwise how could his fear incarnate be your master's appearance, but unfortunately the child is older, I can't use memory blocking anymore......, what should I do?"

......

The next day, the cattle and horse market on the west side of South York.

Before eight o'clock in the morning, Jacques and Lily arrived at the market with Fat Orange, and stood at the entrance of the market as agreed.

The huge York Town Cattle and Horse Market, the largest livestock trading center in the entire New World, Jacques, who was waiting boredly at the door, began to count the sheep entering the market, and the more he counted, the more sleepy he became.

When Jacques's patience was running out, Lily stabbed him in the arm and whispered in her ear, "Look at the man on the white horse, is it the one we are looking for?"

Jacques looked forward, through the herds of livestock, and saw in the distance that among the knights who drove the herd, there was a man on a white horse and a wide-brimmed hat, and on closer inspection, the man's hat had a metal six-pointed star pinned to it, like a joint mark drawn on the document.

"I'll go close and make sure. Jacques said to Lily.

As he walked, he straightened the brooch on his breast pocket, the brooch with a brilliant sunflower pattern, and the fat orange was still leaning on Jacques's shoulder, and a man and a cat walked towards the white horse knight through the chaotic herd.

When he got closer, Jacques saw the six-pointed star on the knight's hat, and in the center was a relief of a bull's head, which was the one who needed protection.

Then he walked up quickly, and met the knight's wary gaze, Jacques walked up to him, and said, "Is this Mr. Kane?"

The man on the white horse, who looked to be in his fifties, with a bearded face and long gray hair under a wide-brimmed hat, examined Jacques with sharp eyes for a few seconds, jumped off his horse, led the horse to Jacques, and whispered when the two of them met, "Wait for me on Canned Food Street to the east of the market." ”

After saying that, he led the horse and continued to walk forward, and after a while, he entered the bustling market.

When Lily saw that Jacques was back alone, she asked, "Isn't he?" ”

Jacques said stupidly, "It's him, let me wait for him in the canned food street, and probably want to sell the cattle and come to me again, old man with a personality!

"Cowboy. ”

"Self-righteous old cowboy. The fat orange on Jacques' shoulder said.

......

Canned food street is a by-product of the cattle and horse market, where livestock slaughtered by butchers near the market is purchased and processed into canned food that is easy to transport.

There are more than a dozen canning factories on the street, except for the vehicles that pull and deliver goods, and Jacques and Lily stand on the side of the street at odds with the busy vendors.

Fat Orange whispered in Jacques's ear: "Jacques, there are always people who look at the emperor with strange eyes, what do they want to do to the emperor?"

Jacques said he didn't know, but it was true that some people had a bad eye.

Finally waited for Mr. Kane, dressed in a cowboy outfit, but the white horse was gone, and Kane's spur-filled leather boots made a rhythmic clicking sound on the stone road.

The old cowboy walked up to Jacques and said, "Little one, why didn't Paul Blackflame come himself?

Jacques straightened his chest and said, "Mr. Kane, my name is Jacques, and I'm already a Splastic! And it's not just me, there's also her......" Jacques pointed to Lily beside him, "Lily is already the pinnacle of Sculptors! And this cat, Fat Orange, the three of us can protect you, and then we'll go to the North City, to the safe house I arranged, there are many guards there......"

The old cowboy looked at Lily and said, "No, we're not going to North City, we're not going to your safe house, I'm going to see an old friend in Bay of Pigs, you just follow me." Also, don't let your cats out of your sight here, these black-hearted guys will make canned food out of whatever meat they can get their hands on, and you won't be able to eat it after marinating it anyway. ”

"Oh! no! Jacques, don't give me canned food again! no beef, no lamb!" Fat Orange roared in Jacques's heart.

The target of protection did not go to Marian's house, which put Jacques's plan on hold, and if it weren't for his father's saying not to interfere with the target's freedom, he would have wanted to stun the old cowboy and lock him up in the heavily defended Marian's house for three days.

There was no way, Jacques walked with the old cowboy and scolded in his heart: "I know that someone is going to be bad for you, and you have to run around, can I really protect you well?

The trio found a horse-drawn rental carriage at the corner of the street, got into the carriage and explained their destination to the carriage driver, and drove to the Bay of Pigs on the south shore of Yorktown to the sound of horses' hooves.

The old cowboy lifted one corner of the curtain, looked at the scenery of the street and said, "Yorktown is changing so fast, I haven't been here for several years, and the houses in this area have been replaced with brick buildings." ”

Jacques felt a little rude not answering, so he said: "In terms of prosperity, York City is still not as good as the imperial capital, and the buildings are not as neat as Medis, and the scenery of the harbor city is not even comparable to the Port of Mousse, let alone the city of Ruio." ”

The old cowboy Kane's eyes lit up and he asked, "You're not a native of Yorktown?" ”

Jacques said proudly: "No, in fact, I only arrived in York City a few days ago. We had just returned from a trip from north to south, visiting several major cities in the New World. ”

Kane seemed to remember something: "I remember, the last time I saw Paul Blackflame eighteen years ago, he said his wife was pregnant. You're not Paul's son, are you?"

Jacques thought that his father did not say that he wanted to hide his identity, so he replied quickly: "Yes, he is my father." ”
