After groping around in the dungeon, he soon found the secret door to the main city of Odrenza in the south.

The light and shadow flickered, and in the blink of an eye, Thor was already standing on a street called 'Stardust' in Odrensa.

"What now?" asked Thor.

"I'll go home first, and we'll meet at the door of the Academy of Magic tomorrow morning. Anne Baez patted the dust off her body.

"What should I do when you get home?" Thor turned his head.

"You're a man. Anne Baez threw a look at me what I don't care about you.

Thor felt sad.

It must have been because he had pressed her against the wall of the dungeon just now, and now this knight Shiitake mushroom began to take revenge on himself.

"It's better to ...... I'll go home with you, and I can sleep in the floor closet. Thor suggested with a grimace.

Unfortunately, she didn't even get a response this time, and Anne Baez turned and left, leaving him with a slender back with a golden ponytail.

Forget it, the countrymen in the countryside are inevitably bullied, and Saul tries to comfort himself.

It's only afternoon, and in the morning I took Anne Baez around the territory of Liberty City, and then I came straight over.

It seems to have just rained on the Odelenna side, and there are some undispersed rainwater pools in the cracks of the masonry on the stone street.

Pedestrians walked down the street in twos and threes, not in a hurry, and one of them was driving away a stray dog that was following. A faint smell wafts out of a bakery on the street, and the transparent goods counter attracts a few children who linger.

Whenever you look up, the city is so bright and huge, worthy of being the pinnacle of human prosperity on this continent. I've been to Biansol, the imperial city of Byron, the capital of knights, but compared to Odrenza, it still feels a little less imposing and substantial.

Now that he is revisiting his old place, Thor is still like a rootless duckweed, with nothing to follow and nowhere to go.

Apparently it is not welcome here, neither the Dark Council nor the ancient city itself.

Although the current purpose is to rescue, there is nothing to talk about the rescue plan for the time being, because the location of Lorna's detention is unknown, and the degree of danger is unknown. Although Anne Baez had made some scattered inquiries in private, she had limited knowledge after all.

It seems that this trip will definitely take some time, maybe a few days, maybe longer.

At the moment, Thor was concerned about where he should go, find a hotel, wait for dinner, that would be too extravagant.

This luxury refers to time, and Saul has always believed that the biggest cost in this world is the cost of time.

After some inquiries along the way, Thor came to the 'Golden Malt' tavern.

The expected lights are full of people, drunkards, idle, and those who want to take advantage of the tavern hostess, all kinds of drunkards, vagabonds, and mercenary idlers are entrenched here drunk and dreaming of death.

The few remaining dollars in the hands of these fellows were exchanged for cheap and large drinks, and finally returned to the ground of a certain alley through their stomachs, leaving nothing behind. Of course, it's a kind of life, isn't it? Who's to say?

Instead of getting in on the excitement, Thor walked straight to the counter with a rounded corner twist in the shape of a long strip.

"Hello, I'm looking for 'round iron sheets'. Thor said to the tavernkeeper who was bald at the back of the counter and rubbing his head down against his glass.

Before coming, Rose told Thor that if you put the name of 'Round Iron Sheet' in the Tavern of 'Golden Malt', you will find the nail that Liberty City has planted here in Odrenza.

The tavernkeeper pursed his lips and glanced up slightly at Thor, then beckoned a male tavern servant.

"Take the guest to find the iron piece. The tavernkeeper commanded, never looking up at Thor again.

Follow the minions through the dark alleys, even in bustling Odrenza.

Well, the word 'round' in round iron sheet may mean that the character is sleek, as for iron sheet...... Maybe it means there's a sharp side to his personality, and on the way Thor tries to force some sparkle for this really not-so-good nickname.

Walk your way down the row of low buildings until you reach the entrance of one of the rows.

"Here we are, distinguished guest. The servant leading the way stopped.

"Thank you. Although he didn't feel that he was noble, Thor still took out a silver coin and handed it to the servant, which was considered to be something in line with the status of a 'guest'.

The servant bowed down and thanked him, and departed respectfully.

Looking over the corner to see the light looming through the crack in the door, Thor stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The rhythm of one heavy and three light, so that the person in the door knows that it is his own person standing outside the door. Reading nests

The door opened, revealing a face that made Thor feel a little familiar, and he quickly invited Thor in after probing left and right.

"My lord, my subordinate Jaime. The guy who called himself Jaime saluted respectfully and looked at Thor with burning eyes.

Thor waved his hand, no longer pestering himself for such a trivial matter as not being a lord, just Jaime...... I think I've seen it.

"When I first joined the intelligence work, you rewarded me with a clock and a hundred silver coins. At that time, I benefited a lot from your teachings, and it was because of following your footsteps that I gained precious love, do you remember me?"

Seeing Thor's puzzled look, Jaime didn't feel disappointed, but explained with a blazing gaze.

With this reminder, Thor remembered Jaime himself and the gift of the clock.

But following in my footsteps has you gained love?

"Then I wonder whose heart you're lucky enough to get?" Thor asked with a smile.

"It's Shamia, the owner of the bookstore. You told me that knowledge changes destiny, and then I frequented the bookstore, and gradually I became ...... with Samia" Jaime scratched his head, the round piece of iron still seemed a little shy.

"Well, in a way, knowledge does change fate, at least it brings you love first. Saul smiled and nodded, talking about the bookstore and the mushroom named Samia, who still had a borrowed book sleeping in his ring and hadn't returned it.

After a brief greeting, Saul spoke of the purpose of the trip, and then took Odrentna's latest information from Jaime.

Flipping through it casually, the rumors of some local nobles, the institutional reform of the Dark Council, the disputes between the dead and wounded among the commoners, and the successful completion of a mission of the Dark Cross seem to be of little use.

Of course, this so-called uselessness refers to what Saul has to do at the moment.

This is not to deny James's work, in fact he did a good job, covering and influencing everyone from the civil to the aristocracy to the governing body. Intelligence work is like this, and it's hard to say which one of them has other potential value at a critical moment.

Although Thor has now stepped down as lord, his successor, Braun, is still interested in the intelligence service that Thor left behind.

Braun thinks this is necessary, at least to ensure that the Free City is not closed off as a blind man who is ignorant of the outside world, even though intelligence from various countries often seems a little distant to a small frontier territory.

The two families of Lumbit and Gerald, that is, the two elders of the second and third seats of the Dark Council, have not made any movement on the surface recently. Maybe it's because they've always kept a low profile, or maybe they're silently brewing poisoned wine in the dark.

Thor didn't stay with Jaime for long, and since the road didn't work, he had to think of another way.

"I'll be staying here in Odrenza for a while, and starting tomorrow, you help me investigate the recent movements of the two women, as well as the two elders of the second and third seats of the Dark Council, and whether there are any obvious anomalies in the recent period. ”

Before leaving, Thor still gave Jaime a task, although it might not make much sense, after all, with James's second-order strength, it was difficult to squeeze into the high-level circle. And even if he has relevant connections, he may not be able to find out about the Mi Xin in the second or third elder's house.

Thor had left the names of Lorna and Chrissy with Jaime, so let's do our best to check them out. If someone says something after drinking, or those bullshit children of the aristocracy usually show off and brag, who knows if something will leak out.

Away from the somewhat secluded laneways, there was still some time before dinner.

Thor thought for a moment and came to the door of the Izheim Academy of Magic.

In fact, Thor found that time at the Academy of Magic very interesting. Many students gather here, eat and live together, and are not disturbed by the world. You can calm down and learn some knowledge, or you can quietly seduce a few ignorant girls.

Standing outside the academy gate and looking at it for a moment, Thor pulled out the magic robe he had worn at the time, and the academy's crest was still shining on the placket. Every time he saw the purple color of this robe, it always brought Thor an inexplicable sense of shame.

Putting his robe on his body, Thor swaggered into the campus.

The guard at the door only stayed on the school badge on Thor's chest for a moment, then lowered his head and ignored it.

It seems that in the course of the year, some things have changed, and some things are still like that.

According to the Academy's teaching system, afternoons should be free time, as evidenced by the leisurely students on the boulevards.

Thor used his memories to go straight to the magic lab in the back row of the school building, and he didn't come to get into trouble because he had infiltrated the academy. He just wanted to find that guy from Howler and see if he had any new magical research results recently, and pass the time by the way.

Unfortunately, the research in the magic lab continues, but unfortunately the user is no longer Hodder. Thor pretended to visit and walked around, causing a wary question from one of the guys in the room, as if he was afraid that Thor would steal his work.

Leaving the magic lab, Thor asked a few students along the road.

It seems that Hodder's kind of research is not well-known in the academy, and it is not until the last person is asked that the man reluctantly remembers, and tells Solhold that he has finished his studies, that is, he has graduated.

I didn't find the person I was looking for, and Thor wasn't too disappointed, so he thought it was time to experience college life again.

Standing on the tree-lined path of the academy filled with the scent of flowers, Thor felt that he could continue to pretend to be a resident student, first go to the academy for dinner and then go to the male cadet building to find an empty room for the night.

After happily making his decision, Thor turned to see an acquaintance walking down the tree-lined path.
