"What are you doing on the side of the road?"

The girl with the black veil on her face asked:

"The housekeeper said that you have already gone to the City Lord's Mansion, why are you still hanging out here."

Unlike when she was wearing a black robe, her tone had a feminine elegance, but unfortunately the dress she wore was very conservative, and compared with those noble ladies who exposed their entire backs at every turn, it felt somewhat strict.

"We're not hanging out, dear sister."

The bard politely extended a hand to her:

"We're waiting for you, and the butler got a carriage out of nowhere, and it's more true to say that."

Xia ignored his hand and got into the carriage by himself.

"This brother and sister are country aristocrats from remote areas, they belong to a very inconspicuous type, and they actually hired such an eye-catching carriage? It's stupid. ”

She sneered and said:

"Don't remember those ridiculous names, you three don't remember them, you're Servant Number One."

She pointed to the red-haired male warrior.

Then he pointed to the dwarves and the archers:

"You're Servant No. 2, you're Servant No. 3, remember both?"

Then he turned to the bard and said:

"You should be able to operate a carriage, right? Let the driver go back, change you to drive, and go now. ”

The bard watched her "bang" and shut herself out, and couldn't help but open her mouth wide:

"That...... I'm my brother......"

"The aristocratic brother in the information loves his sister very much, and it is not a big deal to be a coachman."

A voice came from the carriage:

"As for Servant No. 123, just run, you should be very good at running anyway."

“…… As you wish, my sister. ”

The bard blinked for a long time, and at last closed his mouth in resignation, and drove the coachman down in despair, and sat down in front of him.

The amazement just now made him forget that this girl was a powerful magician, and this cold attitude in front of him was their normal treatment.

"Smack!"

The young bard flicked his whip skillfully, and the carriage began to move lightly forward, speeding along the road, leaving behind the stunned trio.

“…… Run! It's not hard for the dwarves. ”

After a moment of silence, the dwarven warrior carried the axe to his shoulder.

"Hey!"

I saw that he took a short step and chased after the carriage in front of him.

The red-haired warrior and the archer glanced at each other, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Let's go?"

The red-haired warrior asked.

"Let's go, what else can I do."

The archers hid their bows under their clothes, and the two men ran forward after the dwarves.

……

"Please show you the invitation."

In front of the brightly lit city lord's mansion, a waiter politely said to the bard and Xia who were dressed as nobles.

"Are the Eubis brothers and sisters from the Reichel Mountains, please."

After confirming that everything was correct, the waiter motioned to the guards next to him, and the two guards got out of the way.

"It's just a dinner party, and there are so many guards."

The bard kept a reserved smile on his face and whispered in his mouth.

The two of them left the servants outside, and walked into the banquet hall one after the other, and from inside came the melodious music.

"Cello, harp, organ...... And flutes and Serjan horns, really bad taste. ”

The bard nodded to the oncoming crowd, and Natsu, wearing a black veil, walked behind him and slowly came to the center of the venue.

"According to etiquette, it seems that here we should hold hands...... "The bard hesitated for a moment, and reminded his "sister" behind him.

"The purpose of our disguise is just to blend in, there is no need to be so disciplined, you better think about how to get out for a while."

Natsu glanced at the outfit on his body.

The bard had obviously put a lot of thought into his dress, and his eye was indeed good, and the white men's gowns and careful matching made him not at all like a country nobleman, but a little princely spirit.

"Thank you."

The bard took the glass from which the waiter had brought him, and walked briskly in the direction of the lord's seat, saying as he went:

"We've arrived a little early, and thankfully the baron hasn't come yet, so I'll go and have a little entertainment...... Oh! Sister Cynthia, why don't you go taste the food first? I think they must have tasted really good. In the middle of his sentence, suddenly a very well-dressed girl came from his side, and threw a wink at him, and the bard immediately changed the subject.

"It seems like this is the first time I've seen you, can you tell me where you're from?"

The brightly dressed girl said with a wink.

Xia took the opportunity to walk away from him, and the voice of the bard came from behind him:

"Lovely young lady, even if it is the first time we met, your amazing beauty makes me feel familiar, is it in that sweet dream......"

Xia felt a little chill on his body, and walked quickly to the table with various foods, picked up the plate and took some of it.

"Master, these wines seem to be delicious."

The little Lori in black sucked her fingers and looked at the colorful wine bottles.

"There must be a wine cellar or something like that, so you can have time to look for it before you leave, and then you can take as much as you want."

Xia has a headache about her artifact Lori's good wine, but fortunately she doesn't go crazy with alcohol, otherwise it would be a ** annoyance to make trouble at a critical moment.

Turning down a few men who wanted to talk to her along the way, she slowly ate in the corner, her eyes scanning the hall, but she didn't find the person she was looking for.

"Maybe it's really just a duplicate name?"

She muttered to herself.

She didn't have any ill feelings about Saipan as a person, but there were some things that were suspicious, and she had to figure them out before she could feel at ease; If this holy priest is really that person, I am afraid that there will be something more to be done today than commission.

The servants were not allowed to enter the hall, and now only she and the impostor Agetra were in it, probably already knowing their identities, except for a few young girls who were still interested in the handsome bard, and few of the men present paid attention to the conservatively dressed girl who covered most of her face.

"Almost, wait a little longer and we'll do it."

Xia looked at the clock above the hall through the black veil, and calculated the time in his heart.

According to the defense situation in the City Lord's Mansion, the operation time is 2 hours, and the specific location of the mission items has been marked in the information obtained, and all she has to do is to sneak into the treasure house and take it out.

Sounds simple.

It's also very simple to actually do......

"Stephanie!"

She said to the little Lori in black who was flying over the hall:

"You can stealthily grab a bottle of wine and go to the roof and drink it, taking care not to be discovered; We'll leave here after waiting for my orders. ”

"Master, I knew you were the best!"

The little Lori in black excitedly flew towards a bottle of wine that she had already targeted.

A relaxed smile appeared on Natsu's lips:

When she was in Nanxing City, she thought it was a difficult commission, and she was preparing for war and changing stockings, and she was nervous there for a long time.

If she just went to retrieve something that was placed in the ground, she had a little creature who was a hundred times stronger than any thief, and as long as it wasn't on someone's body, Stephanie could easily get it.

"But that thing looks weird, it kind of looks like a chest."

She recalled the concept art of the mission item, and Viscount Eton didn't seem to know the specifics of it, but only depicted a rough idea.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the door of the hall.

"It's Pastor Saipan!"

"Is the new pastor here? Quick, go check it out. ”

The people in the hall began to look towards the door, and some of them put down their glasses and walked towards the door.

"Saipan? Who's that. ”

"You don't know? The young man who came to the cathedral this year is a special priest who has come down from the headquarters of the Order! ”

"Wow, he's so handsome......"

"Who is that woman standing behind him, it's really an eyesore to watch."

Natsu's hand holding the plate stiffened.

She turned her head slowly and looked towards the door.

I saw a man dressed in a white priest's uniform appear in the middle of the crowd, and the stars walked towards this side like a moon.

"May the glory of the god Sado bless you, lost lambs."

He walked down the hall and turned to raise his hands to the crowd.

A soft white light emanated from the cross hanging from his chest, enveloping the heads of the people around him.

Those people only felt that their minds were cool, and the fatigue on their bodies was swept away, like a puff of nectar, and the women's eyes became even more enthusiastic when they looked at him.

"What an enthusiastic kitten."

The bard, who had an extra lip print on his face, came to Xia's side and sighed a little unbearably.

"Oh, isn't that the pastor Saipan who has been in the limelight lately?" He looked towards the center of the crowd and recognized the young priest.

"You know him?"

Xia asked in a low voice.

"His family resolutely broke away from the Duke of the North a year ago and became the new darling of the Truiz Order in the kingdom, and some people secretly said that he was the next local priest."

He seems familiar with Saipan's origins:

"But this matter is a shame for the Canto family, and no one wants to risk offending the Duke of the North to make a big deal about it, so not many people outside know about it."

At this moment, a woman with a faint freckle on her face walked up to Saipan's side, and glanced around with haughty eyes, and the crowd immediately became much quieter.

"Look, the Baron is here!"

Someone whispered.

I saw a burly and tall man walking towards this side, and everywhere he went, the crowd retreated, making way for him.

"Miss Bella, welcome to Canning City, although I sent out invitations, I didn't expect you to really deign to come, this is really a great honor for me."

The man's voice was a little rough, but it didn't sound savage, and he behaved in a measured manner, and he seemed to be very cultured.

"Baron Brooke, your level of music appreciation is still so poor."

The woman named Bella looked at the musicians and said:

"I'm not here to look for you, but since today is the 10th anniversary of your tenure as the city lord, I'll bring some gifts to congratulate you."

As she spoke, she gestured back.

A servant walked between the two men with a box in his hand, and opened it a crack in the baron's eyes.

"I heard that you've been looking for this kind of thing lately, so I've collected some for you, how are you, are you satisfied?"

Bella took out a small fan and covered her face.

"What a surprise, Miss Bella."

The baron's eyes lit up, and he reached out and closed the box:

"Thank you for the valuable gift and ...... Say hello to Marquis Russell for me. ”

He stretched out his hand at Belle, as if intending to perform a kiss.

Then he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly put his hand back again:

"I forgot about it...... I'm so sorry. ”

He said with some embarrassment.

Bella, who didn't seem to care about his actions, called Saipan from behind, and said to Baron Brooke:

"Presumably you have known each other for a long time, but because of some small misunderstandings, there are some unpleasant ...... between the two of you."

"Haha, of course I recognize, isn't this the beloved pastor Saipan? Where did we get some misunderstanding? ”

The baron, as if at this moment, had just seen the white-clad priest, and walked up to him with a laugh, and put his arm around his shoulder, and said:

"Are you right? Mr. Saipan. ”

His hand slammed into Saipan's shoulder.

Saipan's face changed, and he said forcefully:

“…… You are absolutely right, Your Excellency. ”

The baron's tall frame blocked Bella's vision, and the latter did not see the small movements of his hands, nor did he see the expression of Saipan in that moment.

"Huh."

The baron patted him on the back, as if to encourage the new young priest.

Then he returned to Bella's side and said to her warmly:

"Miss Bella, I have prepared your favorite meal today, as well as the fresh shrimp that I have sent to the port, would you like to taste it?"

"Then go ahead."

Bella saw that the two got along very well and agreed to his invitation with satisfaction.

"This way, please."

Baron Brooke led the way and led her to the throne.

Saipan rubbed his pinched shoulder, kept a smile on his face and walked inward, constantly greeting those nobles along the way, and his attitude seemed very kind.

"I didn't expect Brooke's face to be so big enough that even Bella could be invited."

The bard didn't seem interested in the food or the wine on the table, but asked for a glass of water, looked over there, and said.

Seeing Xia's absent-minded look, he suddenly leaned his head closer, and his voice was extremely low:

"Remember to watch out for that Bella, it's best to stay away from her...... Don't let her see you. ”

After saying that, he changed the water into a wine glass again, made a dashing appearance and walked towards the noble ladies, and quickly talked and laughed with them.

Natsu didn't care about his words, but stared at Saipan with red eyes under the black veil, thinking about how to do something to this guy.

Is it to cause a small riot to attract attention?

Or use superpowers to knock him unconscious directly?

She thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't think of a safe idea.

"Forget it, there are many dreams at night, and it is best to solve it here."

At last she turned her heart sideways, walked over to the other side, and said to Stephanie in her mind:

"Now do it right away, go get that thing out."

"Hey, don't go there!"

The bard, who was chatting with the ladies and gentlemen, suddenly saw the direction in which she was going, his face changed greatly, and he gestured at her anxiously.

Natsu ignored him and walked straight behind Saipan, reaching out to lift the black veil off his face. R1152
