After sending off the bone eater, Austin opened the door, and the cold air was like an elite cavalry quickly strangling the warmth in the room, and the wind swept up the snow on the ground to form a thin curtain, like a light gauze dance.

After a few o'clock, the smell of blood in the room finally cleared.

Austin asks Quiraf to summon Bear and Brunei, and after a brief greeting, he gets straight to the point.

Everyone sat around and first determined that the bone eater did not mean to make things difficult for Austin, but that there was some unspeakable secret in the mission itself, and it was likely to be related to the group of politicians.

If you have to do it, you have to do it with your best. It was obviously unrealistic to go directly to the door to arrest people, so Austin decided to start an investigation first, preferably with evidence and then ask for the assistance of the local military.

"I'm going to get in touch with the city lord of Beiwang City first, and people will always be noticed when I investigate behind the scenes on someone else's territory. We might as well put ourselves on the bright side, as long as we have a relationship, we will naturally slowly understand the situation of this person. ”

Austin, after the proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone, pondered for a moment and continued: "Morogie...... You're from the Inquisition, and you have to act with me, there's nothing to say about that, but Anna, you don't belong to the Inquisition, and the support of the Prosecution and the Goldfinch Swordsman is just a name, so you don't have to follow me through this troubled water, right? ”

Anna rarely didn't put an indifferent smile on her face, as if she had hung a dark gray curtain on her face, and said: "Is someone trying to harm you? Or is it the group of miscellaneous people of the Elint family? ”

"Probably not, the people of the Ellint family don't have that much energy, and I guess I'm being treated like a pawn again. ”

"We're friends, aren't we? As long as you admit it, then I'm going to do this with you. If you deny that, then I'll turn around and leave, and never say a word. ”

Anna suddenly lifted her eyelids, revealing shiny and slightly dark red eyes, like jewels glittering in the snow.

"Please don't treat me as a burden, I know I didn't perform well in the last operation, but please trust me, I will work hard to learn and gain experience, I will play a bigger and bigger role in the future, and I can also be your back, just like Davix. ”

When Austin heard such an unexpected answer, he first froze for a moment, and then found that his language ability had become a little clumsy, and while an inexplicable warmth flowed through his heart, he suddenly became a little stammering: "That...... No, I don't mean that, I mean......"

Davix pursed his lips, poked Austin hard with his elbow, and said, "Anna, Austin is also worried about your safety, and I am afraid that it will be dangerous to continue to follow us." If you are willing to continue to follow us, you are very welcome. Still, you still have to put your own safety first and don't let Austin worry when it comes to action. ”

Anna saw Austin's panic, and then heard Davix's explanation, showed a sweet smile, and said: "Then thank you two for your concern, don't worry, I will pay attention, I have a lot of means to save my life." ”

Davix stood up and said, "I'm afraid the two of you didn't rest last night, okay?" Now the arrest - investigation, the general direction of investigating the city lord of Beiwang City has been decided, and other matters have been solved for the time being, why don't you go back to your residence and rest?"

After sending Anna and Moroji away, Austin touched his forehead meaningfully, and found that a fine layer of sweat appeared on it, sticking a few strands of hair hanging down to his forehead, and if there was a mirror in front of him, he would definitely look a little funny and embarrassed now.

"Yo-hoo—" Davix whistled loudly, let out an exaggerated exclamation, and came over and put his arm around Austin's shoulder, "my dear friend, the pretty Miss Anna seems to have taken a liking to you." ”

"How is that possible? Where would a person like me have that kind of rich lady like? Austin's expression became even more cramped.

"When a woman falls in love with a man, it's mostly a momentary moment, and for some unexpected reason. Quiraf walked over, with a narrow smile on his face, and his reckless and rugged appearance showed a bit of a taste of seeing through life at this moment.

The city lord is a very embarrassing existence in the system of the Bolton Dynasty. Due to the reason that the state was founded by the army, most of the local power of the Bolton Dynasty was managed by the local military department and the court, and the church was responsible for taxation, people's livelihood and facility construction, and the city lord had nominal legislative and administrative powers, which had to be reviewed by the first three parties.

However, in the establishment, the lord of the city was one of the highest local administrators and military governors.

Therefore, most of the city lords are in high positions in other institutions of the military department, and the voice in this position is even higher than the title of the city lord.

However, there are also nominal city lords who enjoy a high salary and have nothing to do, such as the city lord of Hanjiang, who has never heard of him until the city is broken. Of course, no one cared either.

This is not the case with Sauron, the lord of Beiwangcheng, who is not only the lord of a city, but also the overseer of the two divisions of the Red Tide Legion stationed in Beiwangcheng. In the slightly chaotic standards of the empire, this title belonged to the same rank as the commanders of the two divisions and the director of the inquisition in Beiwangcheng, and although he could not mobilize troops, he had an army of 5,000 men in his hands.

For a person who came from a civilian background and reached this position with his outstanding ability, it was not easy to cultivate an elite army that even the Red Tide Legion was quite afraid of without the support of his family.

Austin got Zoro's basic information, and he also had a sense of respect for this person. Such a character is almost the goal of his own struggle.

Austin asked Blazing Bear to get the remaining fifty-four henchmen brought from Apocalypse City in order in case they needed it.

During this time, they didn't take much care of those subordinates, and after they received a lot of post-war allowances, their lives were a little easier, and they needed to see blood. As for how to see blood in this Beiwang City, it is not something that Austin is worried about.

Brunei was arranged to go to the city lord's palace to hand over the name post. This is a necessary procedure, Austin is only a small baron in terms of nobility, and the lord of Sauron is the marquis in charge of a city, if he succeeds in repelling the follow-up attack of the Northern Barbarians in this stormy battle, he will have a high probability of being promoted to the Duke of the Northern Lands.

Austin still uses the name of visiting, and needs the consent of the other party to meet him at a free time. If he came to the door, it would be considered extremely disrespectful.
