"I didn't pay much attention to my mission before...... Looking at it now, Crossbell is really big. After completing the customs formalities and walking on the streets, Fei sighed at the bustling and lively streets of Crossbell, "What is the population?" ”

"Five hundred thousand. It is about 200,000 more than the royal capital...... In the Western Continent, it seems that only the imperial capital of 800,000 can overpower one...... Capital of the Republic...... I really don't know. ”

"Really...... In such a big city, it may take a whole day to walk around. Fei squatted down and straightened her shoes.

"What a surprise, haven't you been here before?"

"yes...... But it seems, Crossbell has changed a lot. Fei looked around, it was not the first time she had come to Kezhou, but compared to the time she was with the people in the group, Kezhou had changed a lot.

"That's right...... After all, it is also one of the economic centers of the Western Continent, and there are huge changes every year. ”

"Well, but it looks like the old streets haven't changed much." Unlike the bustling districts that were popular with the elite and wealthy businessmen from all over the world, the Old Quarter was nothing more than an abandoned child in the eyes of both the city council and the empire and republic that actually controlled the state. Leave it alone and leave it to its own devices – this is the attitude of all those in power towards the old street. At the same time, the old street has become, as they expected, a gathering place for low-level workers and unscrupulous elements. Not only are there two major gangs that have been in conflict here for many years, but there are also a lot of transactions that the government prohibits on the surface.

"yes...... It's the kind of place that no one cares about here will be the same. Heliga nodded, "I've never been to this place before...... But it seems that Fei comes a lot. ”

"Hmm...... There is a proprietress of an arms shop in the old neighborhood, and she is an old acquaintance with the regimental commander. When I came here before, I got a lot of useful information from trading with her. I heard she's still here. ”

"A little interested...... Do you want to check it out first? I think that person probably knows you. ”

————————————————————————————

"Mom! We're here! The white-haired sister I saw the year before last, with the white-haired brother who came for the first time! "In the exchange shop "Nainwali" in the old town, as soon as Faye and Haliga stepped through the door, they were seen by the little girl who was throwing bullets at the door. She seemed to recognize Faye at a glance, and immediately shouted towards the warehouse full of goods. With some impatient muttering, an aunt slowly came out of it, and after seeing Fei, she obviously had a surprised look.

"This isn't the Zephyr elf. It's been a long time, and the last time I saw you was when Lu Jia brought you with me the year before last. Greeting him warmly, the shopkeeper walked over quickly.

"Lady Ashuri, it's been a long time." Fei barely squeezed out a smile, "I didn't expect you to remember me." ”

"Of course, in our line of work, we naturally have to remember every customer who comes to the store, and also remember their consumption habits, so as to better serve them. This is true for ordinary people, let alone for big customers like Zephyr... That's what I said, but ......," Ashuri narrowed her eyes, "I heard that last year, Luga and Badr had a fight and ended up together?" ”

"Hmm......" Mentioning this matter, Fei lowered his head.

"All right, little elf girl. I'm not going to dwell on that. I don't know if it's comfort or what, Ashuri looked at the boy on the side while perfunctory, "You are the child that Lujia found to fight against Cherry and Randiv?" Well...... I don't know what to say, are you hurt in any way? ”

"Hey...... That's how the outside world spreads? Unfortunately, I'm not going to be in this business for long. Heliga smiled wryly and shook her head, "It's true that I'm a little immobile right now. ”

"Huh...... Forget it, what the hell are you here this time-"

Before she could finish her sentence, she heard the sound of noisy footsteps in front of the store. Upon hearing the movement, Ashuri showed an extremely impatient expression, and cursed on her lips: "Rubacher, those damn guys...... Come to me again and try to convince me to join their stupid organization......"

"Rubacher?" Heliga was confused, a name he had never heard of.

"A chamber of commerce that has only recently opened in Cross Bell is backed by Harutman." Ashuri explained impatiently, "On the surface, it is a legitimate chamber of commerce, but in fact, it is secretly engaged in a lot of smuggling, and recently it has been linked to trade such as money laundering and drug trafficking...... Probably because of the hiring of a few new mercenary groups, Malconi's idiots have been emboldened. By the way, little girl, one of them seems to be your former captain of the "Zephyr". ”

"Newly hired mercenary...... Could it be ......" Before Fei could think about it carefully, a group of men in suits broke down the door and asked Ashuri to join "Lubacher". However, as the western part of the continent, Ashuri has been secretly and openly mixed with intelligence dealers and old rivers and lakes for many years, and she has never seen any strong winds and waves, and the combination of spicy sarcasm and strict reprimand soon made a few people who were not good enough to leave in embarrassment, and just left before leaving, "You better think about it more!" Such a weak declaration.

"It seems...... Guy and Arios: They're busy again. It was a long time before Helriga said this.

"That...... Aunt Ashuri, the ...... you just mentioned Could it be ......?"

"Hmm...... As you can imagine, little girl. Ashuri nodded, "Former Captain of the Zephyr Brigade, Garcia the Killing Bear. ”

“…… Heard the name. Originally, he was the one who drank a lot with the "Destruction Beast" guy...... Later, he was poached by the mafia in the south with a high salary...... It seems so. For this name, Heiliga still has a certain impression, "Fei, do you want to ......?"

"Places like 'Rubacher' are not something you can get in casually." Ashuri guessed Fei's thoughts at once, "Their headquarters are now next to an antique house in the back street...... Because of his notoriety, not only do he often bully passers-by, but he also has a fire with the "Black Moon" from the Republic side, but no one dares to approach that side anymore. Of course, you're the princess of Zephyr after all, if some of your old subordinates know you......"

"Fei, if you want to go, I'll accompany you in a few days. I understand your desire to meet the members of Zephyr, even those who have already detached...... But, in any case, you can't do it without being prepared. ”

“…… Well, that's right. Fei took a deep breath and calmed down.

"Hey...... Not bad. Ashuri complimented, "I know why Luga likes you. ”

"That's a compliment. Fei, buy whatever you want, I know you spent a lot of your hole cards when you were in Liber before...... Anyway, Her Majesty gave a lot of money. ”

"Hmm." Fei nodded, and then went to the back warehouse to see the goods under the leadership of Jinge, that is, the little daughter of the proprietress . The shopkeeper who stayed behind looked at Helriga with meaningful eyes: "You guys...... Did he participate in the "Liber Coup" not long ago? ”

"Hmm." Hyliga smiled triumphantly, "Lady Ashuri, are you going to do some information dealing?" ”
