"Neham?!" Charlotte was stunned, "I thought he had left Elbert a long time ago." ”

Someone on the side of the bulletin board is explaining its contents, which probably means that the people on the bulletin are likely to be entrenched in and around the town, and if the townspeople can provide accurate information, they will be rewarded with 100 gold coins. If you can catch them, you can be directly appointed as a member of parliament.

In a word, it means to induce it.

A large crowd gathered in front of the bulletin board, most of them in tattered clothes and with thin faces. This is normal, but no one with a decent job would want to get into such trouble. His Majesty the Emperor who denounced San Lorenzo, without mentioning any moral, legal, and orthodox issues, that is, the ensuing royalist revenge, which would make people earn money and spend their lives.

In addition to this, Charlotte also noticed a problem when entering the city. That is, the focus of the city guards' inspection was different from the previous times, this time they obviously paid more attention to those large caravans, but they were not too harsh on Charlotte and others, who were only three people and known as some kind of ghost and strange merchants.

"I always felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere. ”

Vivien was always observant of these details, and she quietly pointed to the bulletin board, where there were not only soldiers, but also some guys in civilian clothes with a hint of murder.

Those were supposed to be the Assassin Order on which the Lighthouse had become famous, and their abilities were no less than those of the famous Assassin Groups of San Lorenzo.

Just a brief snoop seemed to attract the attention of several plainclothes assassins. Charlotte, who was afraid of getting into trouble, didn't dare to stay longer, and said to her disciples, "Let's go." ”

"Where?" asked Lolita, "the tavern?"

"No, let's go to the hotel. Going to a good hotel is not a good time to inquire. ”

Through the unusual atmosphere in the city, Charlotte had a vague feeling that Elbert and Neham might be nearby, maybe in this town. He didn't dare to go to the tavern to inquire about information at will, so he decided to go directly to the hotel to stay and watch the changes in the city.

As he expected, it seemed that their snooping attracted the attention of the Lighthouse Assassin agents, who followed them for a while until they were sure they had entered a hotel before leaving.

The most bustling town in the Grolle Plateau is lively, but the atmosphere is a little more restless and restless. Until the lights were on, Charlotte was eating in the hotel and noticed that there were always some guys walking around outside the window who didn't fit in with the neighborhood.

Charlotte asked the waiter standing on the side in a neat tuxedo, "Has your neighborhood always been so cluttered?"

He wiped his mouth as he looked at the group of ghostly guys outside the glass window. Most of them looked like uncultured thugs, out of place in this neighborhood of the wealthy.

"No, I'm sorry, distinguished guest. The waiter replied with a look of obvious disgust, "Usually this neighborhood is much cleaner, perhaps because these Lower Riba people want to make a fortune from that lord (alluding to Elbert)." If you want, I can ask the security guards to evict them so they don't disturb your dining experience. ”

"No, not necessarily. Charlotte stopped the waiter who was about to act, and gave a thoughtful expression.

He decided to go alone at night to find out the news.

But at about 8 p.m., before he could act, there was a sharp knock on the door of Vivian and Lolita's room next door. Not only that, but there were also chaotic footsteps and buzzing voices outside the door, which Charlotte felt strange and opened the door to find that most of the tenants living on the second floor had also walked out of the door.

They looked at the people outside the room, either with curiosity or with dissatisfaction. It was the soldiers of the lighthouse, led by an officer-like man, who seemed to want to search the room.

Vivien and Lolita stood in the doorway, disgruntled at the soldiers who tried to break in, and the Vitality Girl was especially spicy, clasping her hands to her chest and sneering at the soldiers who wanted to enter and search.

"What? Is this what you are like in the Beacon Parliament?

The two soldiers who wanted to break in were scolded by Lolita, and although the vitality girl changed her appearance, her momentum as a four-ring mage was still there. This time she fired with all her might, and the girl who was not tall tilted her head slightly, and actually scolded the two big men red-faced.

The officer in charge of the search seemed to be unable to stand it, he walked up and corrected with a cold face, "It's the Council of Elders of Valcam. ”

Lolita gave a 'who cares' expression and glared at the officer with a cold face.

"Get out of the way!" the officer didn't want to talk nonsense with the short, ugly-looking (changed appearance) woman, "unless you want to go to jail or go to the guillotine." ”

"You!"

Lolita was furious, and if she hadn't been held back by Vivien, she had vowed to teach the bastard a memorable lesson.

Genki Girl has also experienced a lot of adventures over the years, and she is definitely a well-informed word among her peers. The difference in levels made it difficult for her to endure the bad attitude of the guy in front of her who didn't have much ability.

Charlotte knew that girls generally had some intimate things, and even as a teacher, he himself had never entered the boudoir of two disciples. Seeing that Lolita was angry, he immediately stepped forward and handed the officer a cigarette with a smile.

In the world of Steeu, tobacco was definitely a luxury enjoyed only by wealthy merchants and aristocrats, and the average middle class was able to smoke one once in a while. After receiving the cigarette handed by Charlotte, the officer's face was visibly soothed, and he lit the cigarette on fire, took a puff, and waited for Charlotte's statement in the cyan smoke.

Nicotine can't kill you! When you become addicted, I see you go bankrupt for smoking.

Charlotte thought maliciously, but explained with a smile on her face, "I'm Leonard, a curious merchant from Icewind Castle, and these two are my mage guards Vivien and Lolita. As you can see, we're just a bunch of law-abiding businessmen, and if you could understand that girls always have some intimate stuff and be accommodating about it, that's a blessing. I will thank you for your wisdom. ”

Charlotte didn't forget to hint at it at the end.

But the officer smoked Charlotte's cigarette while impolitely spitting choking smoke into Charlotte's face.

"I'm sure there are good law-abiding citizens here, but rules are rules, and they can't be broken. "I wonder if these two ladies are hiding some secret in them because they don't allow my people to search." For example, fugitives and the like. ”

Perhaps it was the cigarettes that had the opposite effect, and the officers were instead eyeing Charlotte. Although he looked decent, his eyes sparkled with greed.

The merchants and squires who lived on the same floor shook their heads and sighed at Charlotte's smoke.

This businessman is still too young, so the people agreed.
