"—so I said. The Order is a mysterious group that has been around for 500 years and continues to this day. They denied the existence of the goddess and worshipped demons, and they also created the mass abduction of children a few years ago, using them for human experimentation. It was because of their madness that the countries of the continent, as well as the churches and guerrilla associations, were united in their extermination. Their stronghold was destroyed, and their members either committed suicide or were arrested - but one of them escaped the mass encirclement and hid in Crossbell to await a comeback.

"He was the target of our operation – after using drugs to manipulate local mafia members, he even tried to control the garrison, but he couldn't do it because his whereabouts were exposed. So he fled, and secretly hired foreign hunters to act as his thugs, in an attempt to fight to the death. ”

Heliga glanced at Martha, who had a look of disbelief in her eyes.

"I'm done...... Martha, should you explain that too? Until now, Heliga was reluctant to doubt Martha. There must be some misunderstanding in between.

Soon, Martha's words confirmed this.

"The remnants of the Evil Order?" The blankness on Martha's face didn't look like a fake, "But ...... However, the content of the commission I received was clearly ...... Well, there are some facilities in the ancient ruins in the area around Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture that may have an effect on the progress of modern medicine, but because no one has taken care of it for a long time, there are ancient magic weapons and magical beasts wandering around...... For security reasons, hopefully we will be able to protect their researchers. ”

"That's what they said?" Helliga frowned, "Who's the principal?" ”

"The client is a division of Crossbell International Bank." Martha's answer surprised Heiliga, "The money was also transferred from them - they paid a deposit of 20 million mila in advance, and promised that the additional reward after the completion of the matter could be close to 100 million mila." I didn't think much about it at the time, but it was impossible for a big group like "IBC" to destroy its image and fail to make an appointment...... So I brought people with me. Oh yes. A little frustrated, Martha added, "At that time, the commission was to ask me to go to the ancient battlefield "Sun Stone" near the village of Almolica near Crossbell, and meet with the researchers there. ”

"......I see," Martha's words explain the cause and effect well.

Joachim succeeded in tricking Martha and another hunting regiment into arriving here on the grounds that he was a legitimate and reasonable expeditionary escort, and promised a very high reward. But in fact, there's no way he's going to come up with 100 million meters, and there's no way he's going to be looking for a guard to figure out the mechanics here. Because, he had already transformed this place into his own research room, and completed the study of "true knowledge".

Moreover, Heliga gradually understood Joachim's sinister intentions - when Martha and his unsuspecting men entered the ancient battlefield, Joachim would welcome them warmly. Subsequently, in the case of letting down their vigilance, the members of the entire hunting regiment are also very likely to be controlled by drugs without checking. If he had the help of an entire hunting regiment and the madness of drugs as a support, then Joachim would have the confidence to do so.

However, in this process, there is one thing that has to be cared about. In a sense, this is also something that Helriga has felt for a long time, but it is finally showing signs at this moment.

"IBC" - this name, which is again implicated in the case. And unlike the previous level of suspicion, this time, the problem involved can be said to be more serious. It was clearly Joachim's annoyed and angry desperate gamble, but in Martha's mouth, it became a commission from the "IBC". At this point, it is already certain that there are Joachim's inner ghosts or allies in the "IBC". After all, Martha had no reason to lie to herself, and similar credentials of entrustment could be found in subsequent investigations.

"I didn't expect it...... Is that actually the case? And after listening to Heiliga's words, Martha also seemed a little in a trance. She knew that she had almost let everyone in the regiment be buried with her.

"yes...... Joachim, this guy is too sinister. "Hide in that ancient battlefield and make a final death throes...... It's a pity that it was all in vain, and this guy never had a chance to make a new storm. ”

"Heliga? How's it going over there? Before leaving, Guy deliberately left his Enigma power guide for Helliga to be easily contacted. And after the battle at the Ancient Mine Road, Guy hurried to contact him without resting.

"It's over on my end...... It's a bit of a coincidence, it's a bit funny, but it's a big win—" Helliga glanced at Martha and said nothing more, "What about your side?" ”

"Several members of the garrison were killed in the melee...... Quite a few were seriously injured. Guy's tone was a little dull, "The hunting regiment here is quite difficult to deal with...... But Commander Sonia has already arrested them all. After a short interrogation, they should be let go. ”

"Let go?"

"yes...... After all, they are not guilty of a crime. Guy's voice revealed helplessness, "Without hurting the people, according to the laws of the autonomous region, we can't sanction them." However, if the connection between them and the "Order" can be realized, there should be a little bit of effort. ”

"I don't think it's that simple." Thinking of the situation on Martha's side, Heiliga said softly, "IBC" has the ability to do such a thing secretly, so after everything is over, it will naturally have the ability to put aside all this relationship and come to death without proof. Besides, they can excuse themselves from hacking into their internal systems. Moreover, international bankers have a great business, and even if there is really solid evidence, due to pressure from all sides, they can only turn a blind eye to it and fool it casually. After all, if you really want to do something about the "IBC", it is likely to cause a shock in the international economy.

"Hey...... More on that later. "How could Guy not know how difficult it would be to fight against the IBC? I could only sigh lightly, "Compared to that...... There shouldn't be any need to change Joachim's next step, right? ”

"yes...... He is hiding in the ancient battlefield, which is already a certainty. I really don't know what his purpose is to hold on until now. Heliga shook his head, "Perhaps, the answer can only be found by interrogating him himself after the capture of that place." ”
