As Lloyd expected, after telling Chief Sergei what Liz had told him about the Psychic Grass, he immediately stated that he would seek help from the other staff members. At this juncture, every combat power is extremely precious, and the police headquarters, which is the host of Crossbell, is undoubtedly one of the extremely powerful forces, and with their help to inquire about intelligence, the sparsely staffed support section is relatively relaxed.

On the rugged mountain road, Lloyd and his party walked quickly to the puppet workshop on the mountainside, this workshop has a lot to do with the association, according to Ike, the owner of the workshop came here after a feud with the high-level of the body devouring snake, after the joint recommendation of Ling and Ike, a few people who were allowed to enter, after a difficult trek at this moment, finally came to the puppet workshop.

"That transporter is..." Looking at the transport vehicle that stopped in front of the door, Lloyd and his party hurriedly walked up. As if sensing someone coming, the owner of the car, who was closing the door at the back of the car, poked his head out, glanced at Lloyd, and said with some surprise, "Ah, you're a member of the Special Mission Support Section, right?" ”

"Yes, that's right." Lloyd nodded.

"You're a technician with the Rainbow Theatre, aren't you?" A sharp-eyed Ellie asked.

"Yes, I'm Hinds in charge of the stage installation." The man nodded, "It's really such a special place to meet, do you have something to do with the master?" ”

"Ahh Well, there's something I'd like to ask Master Yorugu. Lloyd said somewhat perfunctorily.

"Are you here to pick up the stage setup?" Theo interjected.

"Well, we asked the master to help adjust the automaton and make a new stage installation. In order to catch up with the performance day of the new version of the dance drama, the deadline was very difficult, but the master still helped us complete it on time. Hinds replied with some excitement: "Oops~ The gratitude of our troupe members to the master is really indescribable. ”

"Is that so?"

"Speaking of which, the date of the first performance of the new version of the Rainbow Theatre is the day after tomorrow, right?" Randy was quite interested in the jack.

"Well, represented by Miss Elia, the whole group has shown unprecedented and amazing energy. As the person in charge of the stage installation, I had to do my best. Hinds replied energetically.

"That's really exciting." Lloyd said from the bottom of his heart.

After saying goodbye to Hinds and watching the transport vehicle slowly drive away, everyone turned to look at the door of the puppet workshop.

"Speaking of which, I've heard of it before, the stage fixtures of the Rainbow Theatre are all custom-made here... From this point of view, it is difficult to imagine that this workshop could be associated with a suspicious association. Randy said with a sigh.

“。。。 Anyway, it's good that Master Yorugu didn't go out, so I wonder if he can tell us about the movement of the association... Anyway, let's go ahead and ask. Lloyd proposed. After asking everyone's permission, Lloyd stepped forward and knocked on the iron door to introduce.

"I don't have to shout so loudly, I can hear it." As soon as Lloyd's voice fell, Yorugu's voice rang out at the gate, "Although I can't give you much time... But it doesn't hurt to say a few words briefly. With Yorug's words, the iron door opened automatically, and a puppet dressed as a petite maid stepped out of the gate.

"It's so cute!" Noelle blurted out.

"Rozanbelk's puppet?" Ellie said with some surprise.

"It looks like an automata," Tio said, looking at it.

"The boy will show you the way, just come in. Don't go into places you shouldn't. Yoruku's voice came again.

With amazement and various concerns, the people with complicated emotions honestly followed behind the puppet, and after a while, after walking through a labyrinthine passage, the puppet finally stopped in a room, the door was automatically opened, and a huge room appeared in front of Lloyd and his party.

"This—This is..."

"Rozanbelk's workshop...

Looking at the various types of dolls, everyone didn't know what to say for a while.

"That's it!" A scream woke up the people who were in shock, and following Noelle's scream, a huge humanoid robot stood quietly by the wall of the puppet workshop.

"That's what you mentioned last time..." Waji looked at Lloyd inquiringly.

"Well, it's Patil Matiel, who has been following Ike all along."

"Long time no see, Master Yorugu." Theo was the first to walk up to Yorugu, who was adjusting the doll without saying a word.

"Theo. Without Ike, let's meet for the first time. Yorugu nodded slightly, "So, what's the matter?" ”

"That... Thank you for taking the time to host us. Lloyd hurriedly stepped forward and replied. Actually, there are a few things I would like to ask you about this time. ”

“。。。 Hmph, if Ike doesn't come, it's probably Kempareira who has done something superfluous, right? ”

“！！！”

"Don't get me wrong, although I am indeed a member of the association, I am only a puppeteer after all." Looking at the crowd whose expressions had changed drastically, Yorugu replied disdainfully. "It is not directly related to the plan of the association."

"That is, that is ... Don't you know what the boy named Kemparella is going to do? Lloyd asked.

"I don't know, and there's no reason to know." Yorugu succinctly replied, "There is only one thing that can be assured, he is not an 'apostle,' but an 'executor.'" He doesn't have the right to propose what the association is going to do, just like Ike did in the beginning. After all, the work of designating the plan rested with the 'apostles'. ”

"Please, please wait a minute." Ellie quickly interrupted Yorugu's speech.

"Talking too fast, I can't understand it for a while." Noelle whispered interface.

"Sounds like important inside information, so easily revealed to us, is it okay?" Waji said suspiciously.

"Haven't you heard from Ike? There are not a few people who know about this level of intelligence, and there is nothing particularly worthy of secrecy. The churches, the associations, and the spy agencies of the great powers should have been in control a long time ago. Yoruku replied.

"Ike really didn't reveal it to us." Lloyd smiled wryly, "It seems that he only told us a little about the association. ”

"That guy probably doesn't want you to get too involved here." Yoruku said disapprerovingly, "After all, there is a treasure of his that keeps you here. ”

His eyes briefly focused on Theo, and Randy smiled wryly, "This is really a stupid father." ”

"But it's really Ike's style." Ellie smiled bitterly.

"But, even so, you've been making dolls here, Master." A blushing Theo asked.

"After all, I don't have the qualifications to know the full picture of the association, even if it is a smart weapon, it can be made using the technology of many other workshops." Yorugu replied again, "Briefly, this is just one of the countless tails of the giant serpent. There is also a reason why guerrilla associations, churches, and other organizations do not easily invade the area. ”

"I see, where the information comes from?" It dawned on Lloyd.

"Yes, and this workshop has defenses, how about it? Take this opportunity to catch me? Yorugu proposed, "If you miss today, you won't have such a good chance." ”

“。。。 No, it still doesn't have to. Lloyd shook his head, "I think it's best to be honest with you and ask for some news." ”

“。。。 Hehe, there are some standards. Yorugu smiled silently, "Wise decision, in that case, I'll answer your question, but I'm very busy with my time, and I can see that there are a lot of things you want to ask, so let's summarize it into three questions, and after three questions, I won't reveal anything to you." ”

“。。。 I understand. ”
