"Anyway, what is Klein doing here?"

Natsu took a ball of thread and teased Polly, who had woken up, and asked her to spin in a circle to grab the fluffy ball at the top.

"Could it be that he is also helping to encircle and suppress the white-haired demons? Gloria did say that there was a Protector Knight coming. ”

She deliberately slowed down her movements, and Polly "meowed" to her feet, grabbed the string grass, and began to roll on the ground in celebration of her victory.

Lulu and Ruya slept relatively deeply, cuddling each other on the mat together, with round ears and pointed ears together, looking very cute.

"Master, I'm back!"

Stephanie flew back in a hurry.

"Did you get any notable information?"

Natsu took her to her lap.

"The procession of the Order was given a grand welcome, and both the inhabitants and officials of the city were delighted with their arrival, and I heard from the nobles that this procession had come to show the inhabitants of the royal capital a show of divine grace."

"I see."

Hearing the words show divine grace, Xia immediately understood what these people were here for.

- Calm the panic caused by the Star of Destruction and increase the influence of Truis!

It was a mutually beneficial, hit-and-off deal for the Kingdom and the Order.

"The Protector Knight is also good at preaching?"

She wondered.

"It is said that the royal family also gave them a gift, a mysterious machine excavated from the ruins." The little Lori in black rarely made love to her master outside, and immediately stuck to her body:

"The power of this machine is neither electrical nor magical, and it can still operate normally during this period, which should be a very precious thing."

The little Lori in black obviously had the intention of robbing the treasure.

"I don't have time to worry about these irrelevant things now."

Xia said to her:

"Did Klein go Uptown?"

"I've gone, master, on a big—big disc."

The little Lori in black used two big ones in a row. It seems that the disc is really amazing.

"Have you met any acquaintances in the few places I asked you to focus on searching?"

"Nope."

She shook her head and said:

"I've been to several of the families you told me, as well as public places, and I haven't met anyone I know."

In the same way that she doesn't forget a conversation she hears, she is able to remember everyone's information, unless the person's specific information is invisible and has changed appearance. Otherwise, it wouldn't have escaped her eyes.

"It seems that after graduation, everyone is no longer in the royal capital."

Xia was a little frustrated:

"It's good to stay in the royal capital to develop, why are everyone leaving."

"But I saw a familiar name on a busy street, master."

The little Lori in black reported a message:

"It's a shop with a door number that says 'Golden Warhammer,' and it's the property of the Humpty Dumpty family."

"Humpty Dumpty...... EBNER. ”

Xia scratched her head, she remembered that she still owed the other party a lot of money.

"You go to that shop and see if Ebner is inside, but...... I don't think it's likely. ”

She suddenly came to the spirit:

"—Bring pen and paper!"

Although the little Lori in black wondered why she wanted these things, she still carried out the order immediately.

"Hmph...... I want shame! ”

Natsu found a stone and flattened it with his sword. I took a pen and wrote on it.

"It's written! What do you think? ”

She proudly lifted the piece of paper with the crooked and twisted common characters of the continent into the air and shook it in her hand:

"Isn't it much better than before?"

“…… I think it's good, host. ”

Looking at the words that are not much better than earthworms crawling, the little Lori in black said incorrectly.

"I remember that I used to write ugly Chinese characters, but I didn't expect to suddenly become a calligrapher after coming to this world."

She looked at her masterpiece with intoxication:

"This is my most satisfying work so far, but unfortunately I can't sign it...... Go, if Abner is there, give him this. By the way, I paid off the money I owed. ”

One of the reasons for her hard work was to pay off all the debts she was carrying, and for her, the amount of money that scared people to death was completely bearable.

"When you talk about paying off debts, you look like this."

Seeing the little Lori in black, she took the paper with a bitter face. Xia reached out and rubbed her eyebrows:

"There are many rich and black-hearted nobles in Gondia, so you will be allowed to visit it when the time comes."

Hearing the master's words, the black-clothed little Lori's eyes immediately narrowed into a slit and flew away happily.

"Polly, are you hungry?"

Natsu saw Polly hiding behind a tree and sucked her fingers and looked at this side. He walked up to her and asked.

"It looks like a stranger just now......"

Polly looked at the direction in which the little Lori in black disappeared and said, her voice a little frightened.

"That's my sister's friend."

Natsu gives her a fish, the kitten and Rua the bear both like it, but Lulu doesn't like the fishy smell of fish.

In fact, it stands to reason that foxes should be able to eat fish. Maybe the fox from another world is more special.

"Hmm......"

Probably smelling the food, Rua got up from her mat and walked towards Polly in a daze.

"Ahh

Then he bit off the fishtail in one bite.

Polly was accustomed to her, and knew that she was often hungry, so she gave her the fish whole.

"It's strange, I remember that cats are very protective of food, but why Polly is as humble as a mother who takes care of her children."

Seeing Polly cherishing the grease on her fingers, she felt a burst of pity for this strong and kind kitten in her heart, and hurriedly found another fish for her, and Polly happily took it in her mouth and lay on the stone table where Xia had just made zuò.

"Sister......

Lulu didn't know when she woke up, looking at her with watery eyes, her little hands gently tugging at the hem of her clothes.

"You seem to like rabbit and chicken the most? Wait a minute! ”

Natsu began to scramble to find the little food left.

Seeing the three little ones eat dinner satisfied, she wiped the sweat beads on her forehead and found that it was not easy to be a babysitter for children; Lulu and the others are quite obedient, but if a few naughty ones come, she will probably die of exhaustion.

"The hosts. I didn't find Abner, but I did see Edith! ”

The little Lori in black brought good news.

"How did they get here? Edith can't use magic yet, and the fighting power of the sacrifice is not strong. ”

Natsu looked worriedly in the direction of Gondia.

Although this is a suburb of the city, dangerous monsters occasionally appear.

"It was the old man Sid himself who sent them back, and the two Ediths are still wondering, and according to them, the old man with a strange temper rarely does that."

"That's right. Then no problem. ”

Xia put his heart down:

"I'll write you another letter, and ask them to pick up the three Lulu in a carriage, and then we can enter the city with peace of mind."

The little Lori in black was very efficient, and it didn't take long for an imposing carriage to gallop out of the city gate and rush towards this side.

"This honorable young lady, I am Sariam, the servant of Miss Edith."

According to her letter, Edith did not venture out of the city, and Glori's identity was more sensitive. So she sent her personal maid and a few strong guards out of Gondia with the carriage.

"Master, there is a swordsman who is about to turn five."

The little Lori in black quietly told Xia the information of these people.

"It seems that Edith's family strength is really strong, she is not the first heir, and there are many brothers and sisters around her, so she can command such a strong person."

Natsu stared at the elderly swordsman for a moment, but the other party didn't feel any resentment, and showed a kind smile at her, which seemed to have a lot of respect for Edith's friend.

"It's a pity that Edith's strength is still a little weaker. Nana is already a Grand Magus, and she hasn't broken through the threshold of 4 turns yet. Until now, he's just a magician. ”

Help her if you have a chance?

An idea rose in Natsu's heart.

Seeing the carriage enter the city gate without hindrance, she had a new understanding of such a thing as privilege.

"If it were me, I'm afraid I would be interrogated for a long time."

She asked the black-clothed little Lori to look for loopholes in the guards above the city wall, pulled out the Dagger of Godfall, and used it to climb up little by little.

"It's now! Master. ”

The little Lori in black gave a signal as the guards staggered by.

Natsu put the dagger away, tiptoe a little against the wall. Turned over and fell into the city.

"Get down this way, master."

The head of the little Lori in black popped up on the ground, guiding her to a safe path.

These guards aren't really strong at all, but her stealth is much weaker in bright light, and now her magic is unusable. The electricity was still functioning, and the walls were littered with torches and searchlights.

"Probably because I received the news that Wag City was attacked, and the defense here is so tight."

Xia dodged three lines of defense, and in front of him were still garrison soldiers with torches, and the armor on his body was different from the guards on the city wall, and his strength was also stronger.

"Master, where are we going now?"

It took the two of them a full half an hour to leave the city wall, and the little Lori in black asked in front.

"I'm not going anywhere at the moment."

Xia knows the situation he finds himself in:

"The task just given to you is to find people and listen to information, and the most important thing now is to find the whereabouts of the hidden helper, we are not here to find an old friend to catch up, but to find this person in the shortest possible time!"

One thing suddenly occurred to her:

"Is there a map of the royal capital? Pull it up and let me see. ”

Even if she didn't go anywhere now, it wouldn't hurt to familiarize herself with the city's topography.

"Yes, I've gone to the store that sells maps to update."

The little Lori in black opened the map interface.

Then the two of them snorted at the same time:

Because there is an extra red dot on the map.

Generally speaking,The system map only shows her own location,That's a black arrow mark,In addition, the location of the little Lori in black will be marked within the call range,Represented by a blue bright spot,Once out of range, this blue dot is gone。

This map is monotonous. There is no way to show the enemy, there are no detailed coordinates and geographical names, only a general terrain and the distribution of buildings, all of which have to be identified by their own naked eyes, this strange red dot they have never seen before.

"Where is this red dot...... Slum! ”

The little Lori in black recognized the location.

……

The only interface between the ghetto and the lower town is a suspension bridge, and below the bridge is a deep trench filled with rotting debris. Occasionally, corpses can be seen.

Most of these carcasses were of animals, including rats, wild dogs, dead pets...... There are even human remains mixed in.

Unless there is a serious homicide, the guard will hire some poor people to come here to recover evidence and bodies, and at other times, if someone dies inside, no one will come to ask about it.

"Peng!"

A heavy sack was thrown from the edge of the trench.

"That's it, boss."

A man in a coarse cloth shirt looked up at the roof and shouted:

"This is the last traitor, the rest has been cleaned up."

On the roof sat a white-haired teenager. Beside him lay a swarthy cane.

At this time, he was gazing at the lights of the city with a calm gaze, one leg stiffly resting on the eaves, and the other leg stepping on the roof, like an ordinary boy sitting there staring into the distance.

"What a waste, that's a great beauty, just killed by you mercilessly, and thrown in this dirty and smelly place."

Beneath the dilapidated room stood several men, one of whom was a young man dressed as a bard, who spread his hands and said:

"If only I ......"

"What will happen to your words?"

Next to him was a woman in a face scarf. Leaning against the wall, he said coldly.

“…… Of course it does! ”

The bard immediately changed his face and made a gesture of shooting:

"Since this is the boss's order. I will definitely carry it out without hesitation! ”

"Hmph."

The woman turned her head to the side.

"Zizi ......"

A series of electric currents sounded from the rooftop, coming from the ring of the white-haired boy's left hand.

The boy's gaze shifted there, and a line of text appeared on the transparent shell of the ring.

"Go back."

He picked up his crutches and stood on the roof looking at the huge pipe that connected the Lower and Upper Towns:

"The people of the Order have arrived...... It's right in Auburn Cathedral in Uptown. ”

"Aren't we going to kill him and leave him alone?"

The man in the coarse cloth shirt slapped his palm:

"Let those hypocritical bastards know we're awesome!"

"Don't do anything to that church, there's people in there who can't move."

The woman in the veil spoke up:

"The leader has made an exception for us to stay, don't let him be distracted by superfluous things anymore."

"Karina. Who is the one who can't move? Can you tell me about that? ”

The bard rubbed his hands together and said:

"Is it the boss's lover?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Karina said angrily.

"The boss is not angry yet, what are you angry about."

The bard shrunk his shoulders and stepped aside, muttering under his mouth.

"That's a friend of a friend."

The white-haired boy's voice came from the air:

Karina was right...... The man must not move, this is an order, and no one is allowed to disobey it. ”

"Friend of a friend! Ahhh ”

The bard rests the back of his head on his arm. There was a deflated sound.

"What if that person comes to us on his own initiative?"

One of the people who had not spoken up asked:

"Can we fight back?"

"She's not coming."

After dropping a word, the figure of the white-haired boy disappeared above the dirty street.

"Sure enough, it's a woman!"

The bard became excited, and reached out and patted a little Shota on the head:

"Pooh, quick, use your ability to sense, are there any S-level or higher beauties in Auburn Cathedral?"

Xiao Zheng took a step back too timidly:

"I won't ......"

"Bah, that's boring."

The bard withdrew his hand in boredom.

"Ignore him."

Karina pulled Vinyla away from him:

"Agetra, don't teach Pooh badly, it's enough for you to be an idiot here."

"Karina, you're slandering!"

The bard is gone.

"What, want to fight? Your abilities can't help you. ”

A blue light suddenly appeared in Karina's eyes.

"Well, when I didn't say it."

The bard walked into the depths of the street: "Go back! This is also the boss's order! ”

"Let's go."

The rest of the men also left from the edge of the trench.

After a while, the little Lori in black flew over, looked left and right for a long time, and then turned around and flew back.

"Master, that red dot is gone, I don't know where it went."

She reported in frustration.

"Is there an update to the main quest?"

"It's the same as before."

"That's weird."

Xia was strange in his heart:

Could it be that the legendary system bug has finally appeared?

"Maybe like you, this red dot represents someone, and it will disappear when it's out of range."

She pondered for a moment:

"Forget it, you can keep an eye on the changes on the map in the future, and tell me when the red dot appears, and we'll decide what to do then."

"As for ...... now"

She walked back and forth a few times with her arms crossed, put down her hand and said:

"Raise the alert to the maximum, let's go uptown and have a look; I'm kind of wondering why Klein is here, the Guardian Knight is a pure combatant, and there must be some special reason for appearing in the royal capital. (To be continued......)
