In the early morning of Qiyan City, the sunlight peeks through the gaps in the curtains. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Leo stayed up all night, which had little effect on his already systematized body, and he had a lot planned for the night.

With the help of the rights given by the city lord of Qiyan City, he can not only get the excellent knight sword, but also prepare the materials, such as dry food that he wants to purchase in the Qiyan City market, but has not succeeded, as well as some necessities that Lindsay will use in the future.

Bringing in a normal human would obviously be a bit of a problem, but that's acceptable.

After a while, the two of them walked out of the luxury hotel, and the neatly dressed waiter saluted their backs, and walked down the path of the residential area of Qiyan City, and a peaceful atmosphere came to their faces.

"Ever since Strange Rock City carried out a raid on the Monster Forest, this kind of peace has been with us, well, until now."

Lindsay took a deep breath and said with a relaxed expression.

Being tracked by the Altai Chamber of Commerce, she can be so optimistic when she is always on guard, Leo can't help but be a little speechless.

"I said—"

Leo thought for a moment, and just as he was about to make a sound, there was a cacophony of human voices from the front of the street.

On one of the widest roads in the residential area, the latest public notice of Qiyan City was posted on a wooden sign, and more and more people stopped here to watch and talk.

There seemed to be a portrait of someone on the post, with fluctuations of magic on it, and the clarity was high, but the crowd was bustling, and the appearance of the portrait was quickly obscured by the crowd.

"If it's public, it should be built in a higher place, it's inconvenient for so many people to see it."

"That's not a public announcement, Mr. Leo, that's where the crime is shown."

Lindsay looked at the crowd and suddenly sighed.

It's been a while since Rock City entered a time of peace, but until then, security in Rock City had been poor due to the complexity of the adventurer team and the bands of thieves in the slums. The criminals and crimes arrested by the Order are displayed in this place, on the one hand, to show the merits of the knights, and on the other hand, to comfort the innocent who have been harmed by it.

Just as the knight had told Leo before, Strange Rock is a city of knights, a city full of justice.

"Is it a little bit to appease the people in this way, a little... etc., isn't it already a time of peace, and are there new sinners?"

Leo touched his chin and frowned suddenly, he thought of some kind of bad possibility.

"Let's go check it out."

Temporarily dispelling the idea of going directly to the main palace of Qiyan City, Leo pulled Lindsay into the crowd.

As long as he released some momentum, the ordinary people of Qiyan City would look at him in surprise, and subconsciously retreated, and in a relaxed way, Leo pulled Lindsay away from the crowd.

The magic is enveloped in the portrait, making the portrait look full of charm, which is a special spiritual magic.

"This, this is—"

Lindsay subconsciously covered her mouth and whispered, her eyes full of shock.

“・・・”

The name that catches your eye is "Mark May".

The former president of the Altai Chamber of Commerce, due to his eagerness for quick success, took over the S-class exploration mission without authorization, causing two hundred outstanding adventurers in Qiyan City, as well as Mike, the knight captain of the First Knights of Qiyan City, to be killed and now missing.

The crime was brief, not even polished, just scribbled and summarized.

The adventurers of Strange Rock City are not all made up of outcasts or travelers. Due to the strong adventurer culture in Strange Rock City, many of the children of shops or knights have chosen to become adventurers, leaving Strange Rock City and going to other cities to find opportunities and tasks.

Mark May's aggressive recruitment campaign attracted many such adventurers, after all, he was the head of the respected Chamber of Commerce, and the citizens of Strange Rock City supported him in their own way.

However, the failure of the quest has left many families torn apart, and anger, resentment, etc., have been poured into Mark May's body.

He has rightfully become a sinner, and even if he goes from disappearance to death, he will be spurned by the people for a long time.

"I'm going to spit on this painting every day! Wash this brute's face! ”

"It's vicious, it's dirty, I'm going to curse him for the rest of my life!"

"My nephew is already a reserve knight, just because of this damn Chamber of Commerce pig! Damn it! ”

"Go to hell! Demon! ”

"Why didn't anyone stop him, this kind of behavior, woo."

"It is not an exaggeration to suck the blood of the people and push the people into the fire pit."

The increasingly vicious, unspeakable words continued to provoke applause, and people vented their resentment, from the death of two hundred adventurers to the usual dissatisfaction with the Chamber of Commerce, and several knights of the Order also told about the merchants and their salary gaps, all pointed at Mark May.

"It is said that there were survivors of that accident."

A knight-like blonde man said suddenly, everyone's eyes suddenly turned to him, and the noisy voice was much quieter.

"It's not a big deal, it seems that Mark May invited a mercenary from the imperial capital, and he is now being held next to the Hyogo in the south of the city."

"But I was very traumatized mentally, and I said that I saw a demon, which is really pitiful."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone talked about it, speculated about the quality of the survivors, and the accusations against Mark May intensified.

Everyone scoffed at the demon's claims, something Leo never expected.

Perhaps Nala Cook and Angela also knew that no one believed the demon's appearance, but they still told the truth as a last resort, but they were imprisoned as suspects.

The air seemed to be muddy, and Leo stopped looking at the announcement.

"Let's go."

The cacophony of voices filled Lindsay's eardrums, and in an instant, the unpleasant words disappeared, and Leo's gentle voice appeared in his ears.

"Hmm."

A reassuring Lindsay walked out of the crowd with Leo, secretly guessing Leo's current thoughts.

"Why doesn't anyone find it strange to put a charge on a person?"

Iros asked incredulously.

"Strange Rock City is still in a hurry to deal with this matter, this kind of action makes me feel that this matter is more like a conspiracy."

Leo muttered.

"Well, people only see what they want to see, and that's how it should be."

Iros, who was left to dry, was a little unhappy, and Leo reluctantly responded.

"The truth should be revealed, it is dangerous for the devil's facts to be buried, this kind of behavior cannot be called justice at all, this is outright hypocrisy-"

Iros raised his eyebrows and raised his voice, only to be interrupted by Leo.

"As you said yesterday, this is the end of the matter, okay?"

Listening to Leo's words, Iros fell silent.

・・・

The arsenal of Strange Rock City is not only a place for weapons and armor, as the site with the most concentrated resources in the city, there are huge warehouses for storing fresh water and dry food, as well as animal carts, etc., and many important materials that Leo doesn't know are here.

Therefore, the garrison here is not much worse than the main palace, and from the perspective of topography and terrain, this place can even be called a fortress stronghold.

Walking to the door, Leo and Lindsay were stopped by two strong knight guards, perhaps with a strong sense of confidence, and the expressions on their faces were relaxed.

"I'm sorry, but this is a resource."

Showing the documents of the city lord of Qiyan City, the two knight guards were stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of understanding.

"It's Mr. Leo, I'm sorry."

The lord of Qiyan City seemed to have already said hello, and a knight guard led Leo and Lindsay into the area where the Hyogo was located, and a knight immediately walked out of the small station next to him to take over.

Walking along the smooth stone brick road, Leo noticed that the surrounding buildings were all warehouse-like.

"Can you tell the survivors of the Altai camp where they are being held?"

Leo spoke suddenly, and the knight guard turned around in surprise, his expression a little hesitant.

"I heard about it in a residential area, so it's not something I can't say, right?"

"I'd like to go there first."

Leo smiled slightly, and the latter finally nodded with a wry smile, and the lord of the city gave Leo the right to take the resources of the arsenal, which was enough for the knight guard to treat it with caution.

The interrogation of Nala Cook and Angela had long since ended, and now they were just being imprisoned with sensitive identities, and they were just visiting them, and the impact was not great, and with this in mind, the knight guard convinced himself.

A special building appeared in front of me, in the far corner of the area, and it looked dim.

On the other side of the path, there was also a group of people, and the knight guard's face turned pale at the sight of the person who came.

It was a richly dressed lady, her blue eyes glancing casually, followed by a young girl and a large man.

Leo looked a little surprised, and Lindsay's expression beside him was also very exciting.

Of course, the girl and the big man were also shocked.

When they first arrived in Strange Rock City, they also entrusted Leo with the task of "finding Lady Linnie's necklace" on behalf of the Mercenary Guild, and then due to Lindsay's identity problem, they tore up the mission contract, but also helped Leo to a certain extent.

I've long been curious about how well-informed they are, it seems that they don't just have the status of the mercenary guild, Leo's eyes flickered.

The noblewoman noticed, and walked over with a generous step, and the knightly guard looked a little frightened, and his body stiffened.

"That's the lady of the City Lord of Strange Rock City, Lady Linnie."

A deliberately muffled voice came from the mouth of the knight guard, and Lindsay on the side opened her mouth slightly, looking a little surprised.

"In this area, except for the knight guards and the knight chief above the silver level, the rest are not allowed to enter."

The noblewoman's voice was a little harsh, and her gaze moved from the trembling knight guard to Leo, and finally to Lindsay.

"So, what's going on with them?"
