"They've arrived."

Some time later, in the evening, a convoy with carriages slowly walked into the south end of the Champs-Élysées again, and a certain imperial nobleman on a war horse walking in front of him also showed a proud appearance again, bathing in the rising sun and the eyes of the two people in the direction of the mansion: "Hey, it's turned so ...... circle."

"And it wasn't lost, and it wasn't found." Gedmayne, who was on the side, shook his head and smiled a little: "I'm going to impress you again." ”

"We are professional in tracking and doing things." Grinning and showing his white teeth, Chao Sun Dongsheng gave his thumbs up to the heavily armored warrior behind him: "If it weren't for the sudden instigation of this employer before, Lao Tzu could continue to watch the excitement for five hours." ”

"But now the results are similar." Looking at the scene of the convoy gradually disappearing in front of the mansion, Gedmane replied in a low voice: "I said I was going back, but I ended up wandering outside for an afternoon...... Should I praise this imperial nobleman for his ability to improvise, or should I criticize him for being a good performer? ”

"We didn't see the improvisation ability of this fat man, but the efficiency was still good."

The voice belonging to Duan Qing then appeared in front of the two of them, accompanied by the bodies of him and Xue Ling Phantom Ice who emerged from the shadows of this alley one after another: "It's only been a few days since he came to this castle, and he has already visited all the forces from all sides." ”

"You two?" Looking at the finishing movements of the white-haired woman who landed lightly beside him, the round-eyed Gedmayne then shook his head and smiled, "Didn't you go after the girl?" Why did you get here? ”

"Because she got here, too, at 29 Champs-Avenue." Pointing behind him, Duan Qing, who was hiding, then pointed towards the small façade next to the mansion: "If I hadn't run with her, I wouldn't have known that the Mage Council branch of the Citadel of Thebilisi was actually here." ”

"I see, she's here to report." The fist slammed on the palm of the other hand, and Asahi Dongsheng also showed a conscious expression: "So it's a coincidence? But that's too much of a coincidence, isn't it? ”

"Fortunately, I that red lotus girl away, otherwise it might be another big show."

Turning around to look at the end of the convoy that was entering the mansion, Duan Qing shook his head helplessly: "Fortunately, I was able to grab a little bit of time......

"So you've already been in?" Gedmane pulled out a look of understanding: "How's the investigation going?" ”

"I haven't seen a few information documents or anything, but I've seen a lot of all kinds of playthings."

The sound of the crowd in his ears gradually faded away, and Duan Qing, who threw the empty invisible potion bottle aside, then leaned his back against the wall next to him: "Although I don't know much about the aristocratic culture of the empire, I can still distinguish the various luxuries displayed in that mansion, and the various gifts collected in those rooms must belong to different imperial families." ”

"If we don't get the room wrong."

Interrupting Duan Qing's eloquent conversation, Xue Linghuanbing, who was standing on the side, chuckled and hugged his arms: "The Noble Mansion is a mansion dedicated to entertaining the nobles of the empire, and it is the first place where nobles from other parts of the empire choose to stay when they visit each other, because of the relationship between some kind of event that is happening, there are many nobles staying there now." ”

"Some kind of event?" Asahi Dongsheng, who was half-squatting on the ground, raised his head when he heard the sound: "What incident?" ”

"We don't know exactly what happened, probably because the emperor of the empire is secretly pushing for some kind of action." Duan Qing also turned his head: "Take this opportunity for the nobles to collectively impeach His Royal Highness." ”

"Oh? Has the storm blown so far away? Gedmayne pinched his chin, "How do you know that?" ”

"Many of the nobles in the noble mansion are discussing this matter." His eyes narrowed slightly, and Duan Qing replied thoughtfully, "The development of Tanzanian City seems to be beyond their imagination, and the people gathered here are probably also discussing how to deal with it. ”

"According to the situation before we fled, shouldn't the nobles' side have the initiative?" Asahi Dongsheng asked rather strangely, "What are these people anxious about?" ”

"His Royal Highness is still continuing eastward, exercising his own envoy mission - that alone speaks for itself." Gedmayne then shook his head: "And ......"

"Facing that lion emperor on a territory like the empire, no one dares to say that they are on the side of the advantage."

The atmosphere became as quiet as the streets and alleys outside with the appearance of this sentence, and it seemed that this group of players from Tanzanian City was a little worried about their future because of the topic they discussed with each other, Duan Qing, who was rubbing his eyebrows with his fingers, then let out a long sigh, and spread his arms instead: "Forget it, anyway, when you get to the imperial capital, everything should be clear." ”

"Let's continue with our previous conversation." He looked at the Imperial Mansion in front of him, which stood in the distance: "We still found some useful information there, some information about our employer. ”

"Tell me about it."

"Date Volavos, the second son of the current head of the Imperial Date family, has not experienced any major setbacks and pains since he was a child because of his pampered relationship."

With the rest of the team members starting to gradually move away towards the other side of the alley, Duan Qing's voice began to report the information that had been eavesdropped on from the Imperial Noble Mansion: "Like his fat body, his father is also a smooth guy, who has gained a very high position in the upper echelons of the Empire, and has not set up any too powerful enemies. ”

"Sounds like a standard Imperial nobleman." Gedmayne commented in a deep voice, "This kind of nobleman who has no obvious enemies must not be in much trouble. ”

"The way things that seem to be done without any enemy is actually a sign of incompetence." Xue Lingphantom Ice on the side commented unceremoniously: "Once you fall into a crisis, probably no one will help." ”

"That's right, just like this time." Duan Qing, who had folded his arms, responded in a low voice: "This newly appointed Imperial Minister of Transportation is probably the trigger for some people who want to be unfavorable to Ida. ”

"That's why you're being assassinated?" Asahi Dongsheng groaned and rubbed his chin: "Which honorable gentleman has taken a fancy to our fat boss?" ”

"Don't ask me that kind of question, if I knew this, would we still be wasting time in this place?"

Turning his head angrily, Duan Qing, who had stopped slightly, pursed his lips and said, "But this is a clue after all, as long as the investigation continues according to this momentum, we can always identify a few suspects." ”

"The Wings of Liberty have also shown their feet in this place, and I believe they will act soon." Xue Ling's phantom ice's tone also became cold: "This conspiracy centered around Volavos will definitely expose them to broad daylight. ”

"Wait a minute, won't it be too late then?" Gedemine hurriedly raised his hand: "By the time we have determined the identity of the Wings of Freedom and the Restorationist by our employer, that fat man is probably not far from death." ”

"That kind of question is naturally not on my radar." Snow Spirit Phantom Ice replied expressionlessly, "Or ...... Do you still want to get our employment fee out of the hands of the Lord Volavos? ”

"Of course."

An arm then crossed the line of sight in front of several people, blocking the cold eyes revealed by the woman behind the shadow of the arm, Duan Qing, who had brought the snow spirit phantom ice hoop over, then smiled loudly at the other two players, and then lowered his voice and emphasized vigorously: "Don't forget the bitter years we just went through before, we need this money very much now!" Therefore, the life of His Excellency Volavos is very precious to us now! ”

"Don't say that again, okay?" He turned around with a smile on his face, and at the same time whispered to Xue Lingbing who was almost caught under his arm, "Be sunny, be an optimistic girl." ”

“…… Oh. ”

"Okay, then we'll continue our investigation."

Releasing his hand around the stiff shoulder of the white-haired woman, Duan Qing then smiled at the other two players who were looking weird again: "I have written down some of Volavos's visit door stickers and network here, let's check all these targets as soon as possible to see which one is the one who is likely to become a potential enemy." ”

"If someone really wants to start a big plan against the Date family, the probability of starting with Volavos is indeed very high." Gedmane nodded in agreement, "I agree, then we don't have to wait—"

"Ah, yes."

As if remembering something, Duan Qing, who was smiling at the others, suddenly looked up at the dim sky above: "Have you ever heard of the name 'Luo Asong'?" ”

"Luo Asong?"

"That's the name on a discarded note I found in Volavos' room."

Duan Qing, who stopped his steps again, glanced at Xue Lingphantom Ice and then introduced to the other two, "If we haven't guessed wrong—"

"Our employer, the boss, may be looking for this guy in this castle."

**********************************

"Luo Asong? What is that? ”

On the night of February 15, 796 in the New Calendar of the Free World, another night in the castle of Thebilisi, a few days later, the figure belonging to Duan Qing was sitting in a small tavern with several familiar figures in the company of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice at this time: "Alone? Or is it something to eat? ”

"I really can't say this, maybe it's possible." Frowning slightly, Duan Qing, who was sitting at the wine table, then also showed a wry smile: "We are now inquiring about the whereabouts of this name, but unfortunately there has been no good result, so-"

"I'm sorry, but we're new to the castle relative to you."

Shaking his head, Exile Warsong sat on his side with his hands on his face, revealing a little apology on his face: "Considering the conditions such as game experience and strength, we may know even less than you know." ”

"It's okay, just take the opportunity of this chance encounter to ask by the way." Duan Qing, who picked up the wine glass, gestured to the slightly restrained swordsman in front of him: "It's nothing if you don't know, it's also great for everyone to sit together and chat...... How have you been doing? ”

"It's not bad, the Beast and Bird Alliance has recognized our identity." The answer to his question was Alast, on the other side: "As long as we can continue to survive in this place, it will be a great result for us." ”

"That's good." Duan Qing nodded: "Is it because of the task of escorting the goods?" ”

"That's right, though—hmm."

Raising his hand, the face of the exile war song, who was just about to say something, became a little embarrassed inexplicably, while the soul hunter sitting on the other side took the other party's words nonchalantly, and raised his wine glass at the same time: "What are you afraid of, what is there to say about this kind of thing." ”

"Hey, that kind of thing looks like a secret."

Hurriedly turned his head, and then the exile war song secretly glanced at Duan Qing on the other side of the wine table: "And it doesn't seem to be useful to say it to Brother Broken Water......

"Our mission is currently at a bottleneck, and any intelligence will be useful to us." Nodding at Duan Qing, Xue Lingphantom Ice on the side replied in a low voice: "Let's talk about it, everyone brainstorms, maybe it will get a miraculous effect." ”

"Actually...... We don't know if our mission is complete or not. ”

After another inexplicable silence, the exiled war song with a wine glass twisted in his fingers sighed and said what he originally wanted to say: "The people who came to meet us did not give us a chance to continue the delivery at all, but it was over after accepting the goods, and they still said, and ......"

"They also said the cargo was important." Finally, he couldn't stand the hesitation of his teammates, and knocked the wine glass in his hand on the table, and the soul hunter said loudly, "I don't know what secrets are hidden inside." ”

"But, but when we inspected the goods, we didn't seem to find anything unusual." Murong Qingchun, who was sitting in the corner, also muttered in a low voice: "It's all some ordinary fine iron and weapons and equipment......

"They must be hiding something."

Looking at Duan Qing's eyes, the exile war song that spoke out at the end immediately put on a helpless expression: "Anyway, it's the final stage of receiving the goods......

"Even our president, the Fishman, was there in person."
