Chapter 159: Hunting
Business District, North Yade Town. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the plateau on the outskirts of the town, an aristocratic castle stands tall, and outside the manor of the castle, there are knights and servants in armor patrolling from time to time, and the armor of these knights and servants is engraved with a javelin print, which represents the meaning of a family's surname - Lane.
The residents who live in Yard Town know that although the Ryan family, who manages the tax revenue of Yard Town, is now in a remote corner, it was once brilliant, and it was one of the top nobles in the business district, but it only provoked the evil alchemist, which was destroyed in one fell swoop, and the huge back cover and gorgeous manor were turned into a desert, and since then it has declined, and now all the territory of the entire family is only this remote town.
The total amount of taxes each year is not even as good as the salary of a knight chief of a large aristocratic family.
As the old patriarch grew older, his temper became more and more irritable, and the rising taxes every year also made the residents of Yade Town miserable.
At this moment, a black carriage slowly drove into the town.
The door opened, and four figures got out of the car, led by a thin but tall young man, holding a handful of fragrant roses in his hand, although the clothes were simple and ordinary, but the waist was straight, and he stood like a gentleman.
Dudian looked around, found a hotel to rent, closed the door, and said to Barton and the others: "You first live in this town, this town is the territory of the Ryan family, your task is to help me find out all the information about the Ryan family, including finances, population, and the number of knights' followers, in addition, there is also information about the children of the Ryan patriarch, including hobbies, specialties, etc." ”
Patton and the others were stunned, and Cruon asked, "Dean, what do you want?" ”
"You'll find out in a few days." Du Dian said solemnly to a few people: "If you can, try to inquire as much as possible, and most importantly, don't reveal your identity, and don't do anything too eye-catching." ”
The three nodded.
Patton asked, "Dean, where are you going?" ”
"Go to another guest." Dudian snatched two steel nails tightly wrapped in cloth from Joseph's hands.
Joseph's face changed slightly, and he said, "Are you going to take revenge on the person who framed you?" ”
"It's not revenge." Du Dian smiled slightly, "It is a virtue to borrow and repay." ”
"These five gold coins are your mission resources." Du Dian took out five of the gold coins and handed them to the three of them, saying: "When necessary, don't be stingy, in addition, don't rush to action, first familiarize yourself with the living conditions of this town, and then go to do things, remember, when you encounter trouble, think more!" ”
The three of them took the gold coin, a little apprehensive and nervous.
After a few words of relief, Du Dian left the small hotel, although it was difficult and risky to accomplish such a task with the knowledge of the three of Barton, but a good sharp knife needs to be honed before it can be hammered.

Thorn Flower Prison, Inner Fort.
In the bright and gorgeous office, Warden Jones held the message from the black crow in his hand, and a smile slowly appeared on his face, and he said to a young man in black armor across the tea table in front of him: "The tail of this little mouse is exposed, in the slums. ”
This black-armored young man had a sword scar on his face, but it did not affect his handsomeness at all, and he smiled faintly when he heard this, and said: "It rained continuously a few days ago, which covered up his smell and lost his trace, and now that his tail is exposed, he can't run far, didn't Frank bring him back directly?" ”
Jones shook his head slightly, and said: "This little ghost is clever, it is estimated that he got the news in advance and ran away from the agreed place, Frank They didn't find it, however, they captured a former companion of this little ghost, and he is still under interrogation, in my opinion, it is estimated that there will be no confession, and the little ghost can escape from here, but it is not a simple way to catch it." ”
The black-armored young man smiled lightly: "No matter how cautious he is, his tail is still exposed after all, as long as he knows that he is in the slums, he will definitely not be able to run away, even if he digs three feet into the ground, he can be pulled out!" ”
"I trust your nose." Jones said with a smile.
The black-armored young man picked up the caffeine tea in front of him, drank it all in one gulp, got up and said, "I'll go first." After saying that, he turned away without looking back.
Butler Peter looked at the black back and disappeared outside the door, retracted his gaze, and said to Jones: "This little ghost is a junior hunter of the Mellon Consortium, with a rare Dreador Demon Scar, and is not inferior to his Predator Demon Mark in terms of smell tracking, should he know how to counter-track, can he find each other in the huge slum area alone?" ”
Jones curled a smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't underestimate this vicious dog's hunting ability. ”
Butler Peter was slightly stunned, nodded and fell silent.

In the commercial district, in the Inquisition of the Terre Street.
It is one of the courthouse branches in the business district, dealing with the laws of more than a dozen nearby towns and commercial districts. At this moment, the sky is getting dark, and the rain is coming, in the middle floor of an office building in the courtroom, several official priests have finished reviewing the cases in their hands, come to a separate office in another part of the building, knock on the door, enter the office, and respectfully hand the sorted out cases to the figure in front of the desk.
"Teacher, this is a case of alcoholism in the small town of Ball."
"This is a strong (harmonious) rape case in Mick's town."
Several people handed over the case one after another.
The figure sitting behind the desk was slender and majestic, dressed in a dark red robe inlaid with gold thread, full of luxury and solemnity, he was bowing his head to deal with the case in his hand, hearing the words of several students, he nodded: "Put it down, go ahead." ”
Several students handed the cases one after another to the stack of desks, and as they left, one of the young female priests said, "Teacher, it's going to rain outside, so you should go back and rest early." ”
Hearing this, this majestic figure was slightly stunned, and looked up at the window, where the gloomy thunder was rolling, which seemed to indicate that heavy rain was coming.
He frowned slightly, nodded and said, "I know, you go first." ”
The young girl priest looked at him, said no more, and turned away.
After they left, the middle-aged man finished writing a summary of the half-handled case in his hand, then put the quill back on the pen holder, got up and put the other cases in the drawer, went to the door, put on his clergyman's deacon hat, took up the oilcloth umbrella, and left the court.
"Deacon Huo is good."
"I've seen Deacon Huo."
Along the way, the probationary priests or knights who were still busy in the Inquisition Hall bowed their heads respectfully when they saw the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man had long been accustomed to it, and walked out of the gate of the inquisition with a calm face, at this time the raindrops had already dripped down and stained his clothes, he looked up, frowned slightly, stretched out the oilcloth umbrella in his hand, and went down the steps.
All of a sudden, the rain began to fall heavily. (To be continued.) )
