Chapter 528: The Witch (22)

Unlike the six-member council of Kenrito, which is on an equal footing, the Council of Tirisfa has always had the position of leader since its inception for the sake of combat efficiency.

Merry has always been a moderate man, rarely giving orders as a chief, but when the councillors disagree, he always takes his opinion as his opinion.

They don't have time to have a meeting to fight the demons, and Merry never uses the power of the leader, which does not mean that the leader is a dispensable position.

In the wilderness, except for the young man who summoned the demon in an uncertain future, the expressions of the councillors sitting in the chairs immediately became abnormal.

Crenway wants to order that no one is allowed to wear animal skins for strange rituals henceforth, Ninirocca wants to kick all men out of the council and replace them with cute girls, and Sarens's rule that he must shout the slogan 'Justice Prevails' before attacking.

As for Loria, she wants to lift the ban on not being able to bring her family with her...... She and Alice's working hours are completely staggered, and it's hard to find a full time to chat.

"I've been sitting in this position for too long, and recent events have made me feel like the council needs a new direction to move forward, so adjourn. ”

Merry reached out and grabbed the boy and teleported away, and the councillors who usually liked to go home slowly after the meeting began to teleport magic...... Even Loria, who couldn't teleport magic, quickly left in rather clumsy fashion—she pulled a stone out of her bag and began to rub it around.

Of course, everyone was not so eager for their own thoughts, but just to avenge their companions quickly...... Let's just believe it.

Loria, who had returned home early, rarely did not say hello to Marley, patted Alice and ran out of the hotel.

The streets were in turmoil at nightfall, and countless financial practitioners gathered in the north of the city to meet the queen of the night...... Tomman's portrait was distributed to everyone, and they scattered to find the last traces of the dead councillor.

By the time Loria arrived at Tommen's residence, research room, and alchemy shop, it had been turned upside down.

Merry's words were endless, and no one could figure out what he was thinking, not even when Tomman died, but Clenway and Ninirocca were the first to arrive, and the righteous mad elf was nowhere to be found.

Drawings and bottles and jars littered the floor, and manuscripts that were once treasured by Tommen were discarded like waste paper.

"You ...... Don't you think it's too much?"

Loria frowned, even if they had different interests, what about the minimum respect for their dead companions?

"What a serious accusation. Crenway nodded at Loria as a greeting, "That's how we came. ”

"Where is the battle?"

Ninirocca pondered.

"No, there is no trace of a battle...... But why is it so messy?"

Cronway also fell into deep thought.

Loria looked around and walked straight to Tomen's bedroom, where she spun back and forth, stomping her feet from time to time, and soon found her target, priing open a loose piece of floor with a hole underneath it and nothing in it.

"It's really uncreative where to hide money. She muttered and left Tolmen's shop, leaving the two fools who tried to find clues in the mess but couldn't figure it out.

Tomman hasn't been back for a long time, so it's not obvious at a glance that he's being patronized by thieves or something?

Loria walked down the street thinking that she hadn't gotten much clue from Tommen's shop, but at least she was sure he was dead outside...... As for the location?

There haven't been any anomalies coming from the emblem lately, and the person who killed Tomman must have the ability to interfere with the secret art of the Council of Tirisfa - whether it's Kenrito or a demon, there's no better place to take out a councillor than on a remote street corner.

Despite her judgment, she decided to go to the castle to check the recent security records and check if there was anything suspicious.

"How can there be no anomaly! A great defender has been killed! You don't even notice anything unusual!

Loria, who had just walked through the garden and had not yet stepped into the castle, heard Salens' voice and turned away.

Losing clues again, she was not in a hurry, and began to wander the streets at night, occasionally checking on the corners that were easy to ambush, but found nothing.

Time passed, and the lovely financial practitioners conveyed the boss's demands to the ears of the majority of customers, and the mages and housewives sitting in the magic tower and at home took to the streets under the threat of interest rate hikes and began to ask around for news.

Dalaran suffered from insomnia due to the death of a man and the wayward demands of a young girl.

Ninirocca searched every nook and cranny, but still couldn't find anything useful, cursed twice, pulled her hair and slammed the door.

It wasn't until long after she had left and quietly turned back and left that Clenway emerged from a pile of confetti, dusted off his robes, calmly straightened his clothes, and then removed the magic map from the wall of Tomman's studio, rolled it up, and left.

Cronway, who is skilled in tracking magic, does not notice a male elf falling behind him...... Perhaps it's a genetic mutation, and a certain righteous maniac is a bit like his distant relatives, especially good at hiding his body at night.

No one is stupid.

In the past, in order to deliver the gold coins carrying dreams to thousands of households, the salesmen also ran on the streets tonight, passing notes to their eldest lady from time to time, whether the information was useful or not, Loria tore up the notes and threw them away after reading them.

Poof.

She chuckled and disappeared into the darkness, and a female elf who had lost her trace carefully picked up the shredded paper on the ground and put it together.

Tomman was arrested in detention last week for following a housewife, the last time he was seen in public. ’

Nini Roko got this information, and he teleported away without caring about Loria, who was lost.

Go through the files, you scheming, and I hope the prison's cumbersome reading of the rules will entertain you.

Loria covered her mouth and smiled, unfolding the crumpled note in her hand.

'Interest has been received for the previous month. ’

Dream couriers don't put such a vulgar word as interest on their lips.

……

Dalaran sewers.

"Huh, it's you again, give me back Daddy!"

A certain girl who couldn't see her father for the time being because of a debt dispute shouted excitedly at the first moment she saw Loria, but sat down obediently under the salesman's terrible expression.

Loria approached the girl, stretched out her hand and said, "Take it out." ”

"Don't know what you're talking about. ”

The girl turned her face to the side.

Loria pursed her lips, held the girl down and reached into her neckline to fumble her way, soon finding a scroll wrapped in silk and a few gold coins.

"A feasibility study report on the temporary transfer and fusion of plural mana, huh?"

Loria put down the scroll, looked at the few gold coins in her hand, and looked at the girl's wandering eyes, and after a slight pause, she smiled, "Why did I find you......?" Are you a deliberate tip or a trap to lead people astray?"

"What are you talking about! I don't understand! Give me back Daddy!"

"Since it's a gift to the door, I'm welcome...... Look me in the eye!"
