Chelsea's cold voice suddenly chilled the hearts of these people, and what the head maid said was true, but they were also human beings and wanted to live.

"Please, just lock us up, as long as you don't kick us out, we can work for the Chamber of Commerce in the future."

"Yes, just tie it up and give it food, please, merciful and beautiful Miss Lacey."

Several began to plead again, but the head maid remained unmoved, and prepared to start chasing them.

"Wait a minute, Chelsea." Lorain Hill stopped the head maid next to him.

"It's okay for you to stay, but I have some questions that I need you to answer truthfully."

Lorain Hill recalls Bard's description of Gretel that night, and somehow it feels familiar.

Gretel is from Ned County, where Pullman and his actions are at odds with today's society, which makes Loren Hill suspect that he is from Zephyr's rebel army.

"Are you all locals, or are you from other places, and is there anyone else who is very close to Gretel, is there any of his fellow villagers?"

"I hope you will recall carefully and answer my questions truthfully, without lying and concealing anything." Lorain Hill emphasized.

The few people in front of them were surprised, and after slowly recalling and thinking about it, they began to slowly answer the girl's question.

"Gretel came in a few months ago"

"Usually he has a lot of friends.,There is," the other one also began to slowly reminisce.

"In addition to Bud, there is a fellow Faphyr who is close to him."

"Did that fellow come with him?" Lorain Hill asked curiously.

"Yes, but that person is relatively silent and usually very low-key, if you don't think about it carefully, you will almost forget about this person."

"What's his name and where is he?"

"His name is Wood, and he lives in the area near the harbor."

"Do you know the exact location?"

"Yes."

"Okay, you guys can rest well tonight. Take me to see that Wood tomorrow. ”

Lorain Hill commanded, and then asked the guards to find them a room to get some food and hot water.

"Miss" head maid Chelsea still seems to be a little dissatisfied.

"It's okay, Sister Chelsea, just let a few guards stay over there."

"Yes, it's okay if you lock us in the house." These people began to take the initiative to ask again, for fear that the eldest lady in front of them would be persuaded by this indifferent maid head.

"Okay." Chelsea still couldn't resist Loren Hill's decision, after all, she is the head of the house.

After that, they began to arrange their accommodations and other things.

After this incident, the night slowly deepened, and Hopland was also immersed in the quiet night, and the busy docks in the past were also much quieter in these two days, only to see the large ships docked in the harbor with the tide slightly undulating, and the sound of the waves crashing on the beach.

——

The next day, the Yagtirin family visited Master Heran, the leader of the current White Blue Cross Sword, who had been immersed in the sequence for more than 6 years, and entertained Yagtirin and his party in their own courtyard.

"Old man Helang, long time no see."

As soon as Jelink came in, he greeted this master cordially, he also studied swordsmanship in the White Blue Cross Sword for a while when he was young, although he had never formally apprenticed, but he also knew Master Heran for a long time, and then Helang was not the leader of the White Blue Cross Sword.

"It's been a long time, Jaelinke, I don't know if your skills have regressed."

The gray-bearded old man smiled, the two hugged slightly, and then walked into the open-air hall of the courtyard together.

On the verdant meadow are tables covered with white cloth, on which are placed sumptuous and delicate food, including pastries, fruits, grilled meats, seafood, etc.

Most of the people in the venue were young people with the White Blue Cross Sword, and there were also guests who came to visit because they had befriended the faction.

After a while, a young man who was a little tall was surrounded by his companions, who was none other than Master Heran's most favored apprentice, Pinel, who was Ricky's fiancé.

He seemed to be a little bad at words, and his expression was relatively cold, and after meeting with Richie, he politely said hello, and then he didn't have anything to say, making the younger brothers and sisters on the side anxious.

Rui Qi'er looked at the betrothed person carefully, he was tall, standing straight, with large palms and long finger bones, looking very capable, as if he was the kind of ascetic who didn't care much about the outside world except for cultivation.

The girl's mind wandered, a little disappointed, but relieved. Although he is not the handsome and dashing teenager in his mind, it can be seen that he is not the kind of person with bad habits.

The two talked a little bit, and it was basically Ricky who asked, and Pinell replied, and after a while, both of them felt a little bored and embarrassed, and then they separated.

On the other side of Hopeland, Lorraine Hill also found Wood, the old man of Gretel, under the leadership of those men yesterday.

One of them knocked on the door, and soon saw a man in a hat carefully open a crack in the wooden door, and only when he saw that it was an acquaintance, did he open it all.

"Why are you here?"

This man named Wood was very ordinary, very different from the handsome Gretel, and he was probably unrecognizable after a while when thrown into the pile.

"I told them to come to you." A girl's voice came from behind several people, and a figure in a black robe walked out, and then took off his hood, revealing the clear pupils and soft hair, it was Lorain Hill.

Wood seemed surprised, and his calm expression fluctuated slightly, and it took a while to come to his senses.

Looking at the people around the girl, he understood that there was trouble coming to the door. But, there's nowhere to hide, isn't it?

Calmly welcomed Lorain Hill into the door, and there was only a bed, a table, and two stools in the small room.

After looking at it for a while, Lorain Hill seemed to sense something, turned around, and introduced himself.

"I am the owner of the Calites Chamber of Commerce today, Lacey."

"Hello, Mistress Lacey." The twenty or thirty-year-old Wood was dressed in brown and bowed his head slightly.

"Don't worry, I don't mean anything, I just want to know something about Gretel."

Wood thought for a moment and replied.

"Glitter is my countryman, and Ned County has been difficult in recent years, and we both came to the south to survive, but I don't know much about him."

Loren Hill looked at the one in front of her and knew he was lying, because she had found a lot of clues since she came in.

But he can't be blamed, after all, his job really needs to be hidden.

After letting everyone else out of the room, Lorain Hill closed the door, and in the dimly lit room, only a few light rays shone obliquely through the cracks in the windows, and the quiet room could occasionally hear shouting from the dock not far away.

"I know what you're worried about, but I'll repeat that I don't mean anything in bad faith, on the contrary, I'm here with good intentions."

Following the girl's voice, she drew a star pattern on the table with her fingers.

"Gretel's comrade-in-arms, Mr. Wood."

Thank you, sesame hit the earth, Kel_Thuzad, three of the reward~
