Chapter 18: Return to Liber
"Are you gone?" In a dark and dilapidated bar in Crossbell's old neighborhood, a man with green hair and a beautiful face asked softly.
"Hmm." The bald man on the side responded, "I'm on my way to Liber." β
"I really feel a little sorry for that Kevin...... After that white face, he was stuffed with such a task. β
"Waji." The bald man frowned, "Why is the chief so enthusiastic about him?" Do you know what? β
"I don't know." Vaji shook his head, "Maybe you want to see what he can do to inherit the stigma?" After all, the eighth is already old, and he has the intention of retiring......"
"Waji."
ββ¦β¦ Okay, okay, don't do that, Abbas. Seeing the bald man's serious appearance, Waji immediately raised his hand in surrender, "I'm not trying to make fun of our respectable 'Roaring Lion', but he does have this idea. β
"I don't think it's that simple." Abbas raised an eyebrow, "He's got that Zephyr goblin by his side." Considering that the total length was previously ......"
"Brother Waji!" A bruised thug ran into the bar and angrily interrupted the conversation between the two: "Wa, that guy Varudo, with someone-"
"Hey, this guy doesn't know what it means to stop in moderation." Vaji sighed, "Abbas, help me keep an eye on this place, I'll go out." β
"Yes." Abbas arrived, watching Waji follow the little minion out quickly.
On the surface, he is only the leader of the "Holy Book Society", a bad gang that has just sprung up this year in the old street of Crossbell, but only Abbas knows his true identity - the ninth member of the "Star Cup Knights", the "Holy Codex" Waji Hermisfia, is also burdened with the power and curse of the "stigmata".
The Church, which has been secretly retrieving ancient relics and dealing with outlaws, has recently begun to do something different.

"Randy-senpai." Mireyu, a female officer with blonde hair and a lively personality who is very popular in the Crossbell garrison, is at the moment in the training ground of Belgaard Gate, expressing her dissatisfaction with a young man with red hair.
"Ah...... It's Mireyu. Hurriedly put away the photo magazine in his hand, but found that Randy, who had been completely looked at, had a sad face, "That, you listen to my explanation......"
"I've long been accustomed to these vulgar hobbies of Randy's predecessors." Mireyu said crisply, not giving Randy any chance to defend himself, "Deputy Commander Sonia has something to ask you for." β
"So it's not vulgar...... Never mind. Randy, who threw down the magazine and turned to run, ran towards the office where the deputy commander was, as if he had escaped something very scary.
"Randy's senior, this stupid ......" left the female officer alone to bow her head and mutter.
"What's wrong, Deputy Commander?" Randy who entered the office was no longer the frivolous young man, but loud, looking like some kind of promising young man.
And if Fei himself is present, he will be surprised by this - because the person named Randy in front of him is the successor chosen by the famous "Red Constellation" leader Badr Orlando, his own son, who is also the leader of the younger generation of hunters, and is considered to be the promising "Son of the God of Fighting" Randiv Orlando.
"I was contacted by Chief Guy of the Search Section 1 and wanted to ask you for a favor in a case." Deputy Commander Sonia said without raising his head while processing the papers, "The specific information is here, you can see for yourself." β
ββ¦β¦ Be. Although there are some doubts, I should respect the orders of the deputy commander when I am already in the garrison, "These things...... Well, it feels a bit like a miscellaneous. β
"This is one of their ideas, Mr. Gay, the new division of the police department...... And you're one of their targets. Sonia paused, "Think about it, Randy." The salary is much more generous than that of the garrison. Behave well and don't let me down. β
"It doesn't matter where you do it......" Randy's eyes lit up, "but if there's more pay......"
ββ¦β¦ Poor Mireyu. Seeing Randy like this, Sonia could only express regret for the juniors she cared about.

"This is going back?" Crossbell Airport, Arios, who was busy and busy, brought his wife and Xiaodi to see them off.
"Hmm...... I've been in my hometown and Regram for more than a month, and both the current situation of the empire and my hometown, as well as the information I want to detect, have arrived. Heiliga nodded, "Of course, it also solved a little trouble for Faye by the way." β
"Really...... It's good that everything goes well. Arios furrowed his brows, "That guy guy guy asked me to say sorry, he was supposed to come, but suddenly got new information about a case that was currently being investigated, and he couldn't pull away for a while. β
"yes, got it." Hailiga understands how hard the job of the police officer is, "Take care of yourself." β
"Hmm. By the way......" Sneaking up to Helika's side to keep Droplet and Aya from hearing her, Arios whispered, "It's a dangerous thing to fight against the association...... But if you insist, I won't say anything. You can also make use of the guerrilla association's intelligence network, whether it's Liber or here......"
"Don't worry, I know it." Heiliga also whispered back, "And besides you, I have a second source of intelligence. β
"The second?" Arios looked puzzled, but Helliga didn't answer him, just smiled and waved his hand, and boarded the airship.
Helriga did not tell Arios that he had made a deal with Ashuri, the owner of the exchange shop in Old Street, to use the details of the subsequent events in Liber as a bargaining chip in exchange for information that Helriga wanted to know.
It's also clear from this that this intelligence trafficker is not simple - for some reason, she can easily judge that the truth of the matter will not sink with the end of the coup, but rather that the show will not be staged until now - and the deal is a win-win for both parties. For Hyliga, Ashuri is a very reliable source of information, both reliability and richness are worth investing in, and for Ashuri, she is free from obtaining this information from other sources, and the information exchanged to the teenager is nothing more than worthless street gossip for herself.
The airboat took off slowly, targeting the Luan region of the Liber Kingdom - because according to the information received by the Society, there seemed to be an unusual "white shadow" in the Luan region - a phenomenon that was more attractive than some cases elsewhere.
"All the clues point to you, Wiseman." Looking out the window at the speeding landscape, Heliga thought to herself, "The strange delirium of Richard and Cruz during the coup d'Γ©tat...... Suspicious Aspects of the Empire and Kingdom's Actions in the Hamel Affair...... Joshua and Levi's Experience...... It can't be that it doesn't have anything to do with you. β¦β¦ It's even possible that you're behind all of thisβ"
"Heliga, I'll go out on deck and blow the wind." Fei gently called out to the young man beside him, and then walked out of the cabin.
"βAlso, hurting the people around me...... Unforgivable. β
A hint of murder emerged, and slowly faded away.
