The night faded as time passed, and the dawn of a new day was just around the corner.

Human Survival Zone, Central Province.

At the rebuilt Truth Gate Headquarters, there is a room with lights on at all times.

Walking into the room, you can see a continuous stream of white peaks, all made of stacks of papers.

In front of the center's work desk, there are also piles of all kinds of documents, burying a petite figure in it.

"Isn't it petite!!"

Illya's little head jerked up from the table, accompanied by a shout of resentment.

It wasn't until the words fell that her half-open eyes opened and she woke up from her dazed state.

By the way, I also wiped the unknown liquid flowing from the corner of my mouth...... Ahem, it's just saliva.

"Ha~~Ah, why are you asleep again."

Illya yawned cutely, raised her hand and rubbed the corners of her eyes, and then looked at the "spectacular" scene around her.

Suddenly she felt a headache.

"I'm so tired that I'm finally finishing these papers, and those old immortal hands threw all the work over with a push......

Illya slammed her hands on the table and grumbled viciously.

The mountains of documents in the room were all created by the civil strife in the previous guild, damage lists, personnel directories, contract sheets, notices...... The variety of documents is simply varied.

To make matters worse, Illya was the only one who approved these documents, and the other high-level executives who remained unanimously made excuses to shirk it, resulting in her dealing with these blank sheets of paper with words all day long, and not saying a single peaceful sleep recently.

The thought of this made Illya's teeth itch with anger, but she couldn't refuse.

The civil strife is inseparable from Einzberen, and she, as the current head of the family, must take responsibility.

That being said, the heavy lifting is coming to an end today.

"Let's do it!"

Illya stretched her arms. Cheer yourself up.

At this time, the knock on the door suddenly remembered.

"Come in."

"Yes."

The door to the room was pushed open, and Serra walked in with a tray in her hand.

"Master, eat something to replenish your strength."

Serra walked over to the table, holding the tray in one hand and making a way out of the paper-laden table with the other, then placed the sandwich and black tea on the tray in front of Illya.

"Well, thank you, Serra."

Illya nodded gratefully, picking up her teacup and sniffing it gently.

The aroma of black tea suddenly made her face smile of enjoyment.

Seeing this, Serra also raised the corners of her mouth, shook her head and replied.

"That's what I'm supposed to do."

"There are only the last stacks left. You can be completely liberated today. ”

Illya slurred as she shoved the sandwich into her mouth.

"With all due respect, your master's body, it's better to stay up late and work less in the future."

A look of concern crossed Serra's face.

"Well, even if you want me to do it next time, I won't do it. It's really exhausting these days. ”

Swallowing the food in her mouth, Illya said with a grumpy face.

It didn't take long for her to finish her sandwich and put down her teacup in contentment.

See she's finished eating. Serra hesitated.

"There's a new development in that matter."

"What?"

For a moment, Illya didn't react.

"It's the incident when the farming city of Erupa suddenly lost contact."

Hearing this, Illya's expression changed, and it turned into a seriousness that did not match her appearance.

"Finally there is progress. Say. ”

"A message came from the city in charge of investigating his whereabouts, and just now Erupa exited completely invisible, and his location was also captured by the city."

Serra reported unhurriedly.

"Suddenly exited completely invisible...... What the hell is the head of Errupa thinking, or is it someone trying to do something about my territory......"

Illya pretended to be deep and lifted her chin with her hands. Lost in thought.

It was during the period of civil strife in the guild that Elupa, one of the mobile cities, suddenly cut off contact with other cities.

Since she was in the Central Province at the time, she didn't bother to pay attention to the affairs over there. So he let Erupa's anomaly go for the time being.

Maybe something just went wrong, and contact will be restored soon.

Unfortunately, this possibility did not materialize at the end of the guild civil unrest.

So in response to Erupa's disappearance, Illya began to issue orders for other cities to investigate.

In fact, if she had returned to the mobile city to participate in person, the investigation might have progressed a long time ago.

But after the civil strife ended, a whole host of questions pestered her, and she couldn't get out.

Fortunately, the investigation has finally come to fruition.

"Is it a coincidence or did I see the gap I left......"

Illya thought about it, and sure enough, she still knew too little information.

"Where is Erupa now?"

She asked, looking up at Serra.

"According to the information coming from there, there is no sign of Erupa moving for the time being, this is the coordinates where it is at the moment."

As she spoke, Sierra pulled a report from under the tray and handed it to Illya.

"It's paper again, I'm almost like a phobia......"

Illya muttered something in a whisper, and finished reading the report.

On the one hand, the above is a report on the matter of Erupa, which Serra has already said.

On the other hand, there is the information about the coordinates where Erupa is currently located.

Carefully staring at the coordinates reported in the form of a map, Illya couldn't help but frown.

"This area is already outside the navigation line, so is it the latter?"

The latter in her mouth was the answer to the doubts just now.

The disconnection of the mobile city may also be due to an unexpected situation, after all, it is a land of steel where monsters are rampant.

However, the fact that they have now deviated from the prescribed sailing line means that things may not be as simple as they seem.

But what about suddenly quitting and being completely invisible?

Illya couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it.

"Now that you've found the location, let's take a look at the nearest city, which is the nearest city?"

"About this...... It should be the city of the seventh institution. ”

"That's right, let's let Seven take a look. Speaking of this area, it always feels a little familiar. ”

Illya nodded, then wondered about the area where the coordinates were.

"This coordinate is very close to Lohard, the subhuman zone." Sierra reported.

"Lohard? Ah, I remember! ”

Hearing this, Illya suddenly remembered something.

"Tamamo said yesterday that she was going to Lohard today, so let her investigate."

Illya commanded.

"I see."

Serra bowed, turned and left the room. (To be continued.) )
