It's almost sunset, and it's almost dinner time.

Since it was a trip, of course, she wanted to taste the local flavors, and Angelia took Lin An to buy some cooked food and spices in the town.

"The grunt's thighs are the most marinated, tender, and served with our local purple spices and ale, and are famous in our town, and their craft has been passed down for more than fifty years, a little older than my father."

Seeing Angelia's nostalgic look, Lin An felt something, "Although your family has moved away, there should still be a lot of your acquaintances and childhood friends in the town, and there is still a lot of time, don't you go to someone to catch up?" We are waiting for you at the ferry. ”

"No, after all, I was abducted at the time," Angelia fell silent and finally shook her head, "The atmosphere in our town is relatively conservative, after this time, I may not be able to go back for a long time in the future, after all, my family still has to live nearby, so don't let people know that I came back to live." ”

"Excuses again."

As soon as Lin An heard it, he knew that it was a pretext, Angelia could be called a return to her hometown this time, which was just right to wash away the rumors that she was abducted, but Lin An thought about it and nodded,

"I understand your concerns, I am indeed fledgling now, my momentum is not obvious, your family is civilian, it is indeed not suitable to be connected with us casually."

The hostile people that Lin An interacted with, even if they were at the lowest level, could bring ruin to Angelia's family with a slight movement of their little fingers, but Lin An did not have such long hands and connections, and could always protect people under his wings.

And so it goes. Lin An understood the importance of industry, and finally understood why those traditional nobles who had been inherited for thousands of years regarded territory as important as their lifeblood.

These things are the carriers for them to gather contacts and cultivate new blood, and they are the source of nutrients for the metabolism of a family force.

Arriving on a high ground outside the town, and William waited impatiently, leaving Saleen to wait in a clearing.

Saleen had a fire in front of him. There was already a skewered barbecue on it, Lin An smelled the familiar smell, and knew that it was the snake meat of the two fifth-level symbiotic demon snakes, and the toxicity in the meat was neutralized by the special ingredients, and it tasted extremely tender.

The pervasive scent also attracted a wild boar nearby, and Angelia and Athena passed by and slaughtered the uninvited guest for a meal.

In the clearing, Lin An said before and after meeting Kino, and Salin lowered his head and thought about it. Sidewalk:

"Well, he's probably implicated by the Mage Tower, after the Elders were driven to the Ice Field. Of course, His Majesty the Emperor will not leave the person who is obviously the Mage Tower in the imperial capital. ”

"He's a lot of pride now. Even if we didn't have a good relationship at the beginning, you didn't have to raise your hand and surrender immediately when you saw me, am I so terrible? Lin An shook his head and said, "At the beginning, he was quite scheming and knowledgeable about current affairs, and it seems that his strength has improved a lot, how can his self-confidence become less and less?" ”

"There aren't many people who can be confident in front of you all the time. What's more, no matter how much his strength progresses, it is impossible to compare with you, not to mention your fame, not to mention other places, you must not be underestimated in the emperor. You just don't know," Salin shook his head and smiled. Keno can understand it, and said meaningfully, "Since you say that he has scheming and understands current affairs, if he dares to offend you like before, it will really be a negative assessment of you." ”

Lin An raised his eyebrows, his expression was a little subtle, "Although literally, you seem to be complimenting me, how can I think you are insinuating yourself?" ”

Isn't there one in front of her who has been confident in front of her since she got to know her and has been tirelessly playing tricks?

"Well, in order not to sell yourself and boast, I have to shut up."

Salin shrugged his shoulders and handed over the piece of snake meat that was fragrant and tender, smelling the tempting fragrance, Lin An subconsciously caught it, and saliva automatically secreted from his mouth.

"Sister Angelia, is this what the book says about 'fun'?"

"Shhhh......h

Under the sunny slope of the heights, in the very low whisper, Angelia covered Athena's mouth and dragged her away, and the big boar fell to the place in grief.

“……”

Lin An took the fragrant roast snake meat, and he didn't eat it, and he didn't eat it.

Salin didn't know if he had heard those words, and continued to roast the meat as if nothing had happened, calmly.

As the sun set, Lin An and the others settled dinner, and Titi and William had already returned. The group moved to a small hill to the east of the town, just in time for a clear view of the ferry and the town gate.

The sky in the west gradually turned blue and purple, and the town was shrouded in a cloud of smoke, and Lin An soon saw Kino coming from the direction of the town gate, without anyone with him, and it was exactly two magic hours apart from the last time they were separated.

"You're punctual."

"Master Lin is still so cautious," Lin An's scheming city mansion also impressed Keno, he noticed that Lin An and they came from the top of the mountain, he just smiled, and then said a little apologetically, "But this time it's a pity, I'm afraid it's not good news." ”

Angelia's pupils shrank, her expression calm, and she concealed her nervousness beneath the surface.

"Oh? Please say it. ”

"Well, the collected information is summarized here, you can see for yourself."

Keno held a roll of paper in his hand and opened it first, so that Lin An could see the contents on it before handing it over.

His series of actions seemed to be deliberately relieved because of Lin An's caution, and he did it naturally, but Salin watched from the side, but his heart moved slightly.

Lin An took the two pieces of paper, looked at them at a glance, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and handed the paper to Angelia.

"Because of Angelia's disappearance, her parents were overly sad, and there were some rumors in the town, so they moved to the mill manor outside the town, and then a year ago I met a passing merchant who was interested in the mill manor, sold the manor at a high price, and moved away with the whole family?" Lin An's brows moved slightly, "Angelia." What other relatives in your family can go to in the field? ”

"It seems that the older generation has passed away, but I vaguely remember my mother mentioning that there was an uncle who had opened a small business in Fito, and that there was an occasional correspondence every few years." Angelia wrinkled her eyebrows and thought for a while before she said.

"Fischer-Tropsch? It is near the sea, full of saline-alkali land, and the climate of Dilin is much different. Saleen interjected.

When Fistrop is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is the caravans and barren saline lands that spread across the continent, and it is indeed a consumer paradise where goods gather, and there is nothing that money cannot buy. But when it comes to livability, it's hard to imagine that Angelia's parents would suddenly abandon their family business and go to Fito to join their relatives.

"Presumably Master Lin is also aware of it, and I also feel a little strange when I see this information, Miss Angelia's father runs an ordinary wheat mill, and wheat is grown in the manor, and there is no special production, and the price of grain in Dilin has not fluctuated much in recent years, and suddenly a merchant bought the manor for a large amount of money. It's a bit abrupt. Keno voiced his suspicions.

"With my father's and mother's attachment to their hometown, even if they get a sum of money, they won't leave their hometown lightly." Angelia said with a somewhat ugly face.

"A year ago. No, it's just Anhui Imperial Capital. Angelia must have returned to you around that time. Saleen said to Lin An.

A cold light crossed Lin An's eyes, and what they saw, of course she thought of it from the moment she saw it.

Excluding that Angelia's parents have special reasons, they are likely to have fallen under the surveillance of someone with a heart, which is undoubtedly rushing to Lin An, but I don't know if the other party is malicious or kind.

"The merchant who bought the estate doesn't live here. His subordinates have been running the manor for many years, and if he wants to continue to investigate, it will definitely take some time; In addition, Miss Angelia also provided Fitto, which can be further investigated. ”

Keno was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he spoke.

When Angelia heard this, her expression changed slightly. looked at Lin An.

"It takes a lot of resources and manpower to do this...... Oh, don't worry, I don't have a deep understanding of what you're doing now, the biggest problem in front of me is that I can't stay in Sinreba for too long, at most the day after tomorrow, I have to get the exact news. ”

Lin An looked at Keno calmly,

When Keno heard this, he was really embarrassed.

"Can't you be a little more lenient?"

"I can't." Lin An's tone was unquestionable.

Saleen saw something and fell silent, silencing Athena.

In the quiet, Kino could see Lin An's firmness, he didn't ask Lin An what else was going on during the trip, since Lin An proposed this deadline, she had her own reasons.

A deep wrinkle twisted between his eyebrows, Lin An could feel Keno's obvious hesitation, but after he pondered for a while, he finally took a deep look at Lin An:

"All I can say is do my best, but in advance, there is a fifty percent chance that we may not be able to get the exact news before sunset the day after tomorrow, and if the other party's background is beyond what is currently expected, it will be even more unlikely."

"Okay." This was expected by Lin An, she nodded calmly, and then said, "Your request." ”

Keno's expression relaxed a little, and he said with a smile:

"Presumably Master Lin has also seen it, I am making some plans, and there will be results in three days at most, at present, there is no place where Master Lin needs to take action, just to prevent accidents, I want to ask Master Lin to suppress the formation."

Lin An nodded without hesitation, "Okay." ”

Keno's expression suddenly relaxed, the two sides briefly said a few words, agreed on some things, and Keno excused himself to leave.

"It seems that his plan is really important, and he is worried that he will conflict with our goals, or be sabotaged by our interference, so he is willing to shake so many resources and connections, and buy you not to harm him - I feel that his value is growing!" After Salin waited for Kino to disappear, he joked to Lin An, his eyes flickering a little.

"I don't rule out that he might really need my help." Lin An smiled and glanced at the restless Angelia reassuringly, who reluctantly smiled back.

"Even so, the tone is not small," Salin's expression gradually became solemn, "have you noticed that there is something wrong with him?" ”

"Huh?"

"I suspect he might be working in an intelligence system, and some of the details of his movements give me a lot of the same feeling as a trained intelligence officer in Komert's memory - I'm a little curious about his so-called mission."

Salin narrowed his eyes slightly, curling his lips meaningfully.
