After a period of recuperation in the hospital, Avi's health has recovered, and he continued to attend classes at the Kestrel Academy for the next two weeks without any further danger. Styk www.biquge.info who was now under his protection, began to worry about Avi's arrival, as if Avi was the hostage who had come from the East Oguna Empire.

And Felistie, the red-haired girl who took his black blade, pretended that nothing had happened, and didn't say a word about the black blade that Avi had promised to keep for the time being. Whether Avi hinted tentatively or explicitly said, Felistie said that she did not take Avi's weapon, nor did she promise the other party to discuss anything. The reason why Avi saw it on the hospital bed that day was that Avi's head was also injured, so he saw a hallucination that didn't exist at all.

"That dagger is just my personal weapon, I saw it in your hand, and you said..."

"Do you think I look like a man with a knife?" Phylistie stuck out her tongue and pulled a few darts out of her long hair, "These are the ones I used, I really didn't take your things." ”

Seeing Felisti playing a scoundrel in front of him, Avi had no choice at all. At the beginning, Felisti clearly said that she was temporarily helping herself keep it, but now she keeps it for herself and pretends to have amnesia, which really makes Avi angry and hateful. However, Avi thought about it later, maybe Felisty also wanted to investigate the matter of the artificial life weapon, maybe she had already guessed that the black blade was an artificial life weapon, and perhaps the black short knife had been sent to the hand of the Holy Golia.

The eldest prince, Bradley, waited until Avi returned to the Kestrel Academy to learn some other details from him. Bradley personally asked Avi for details of the two attacks, and he claimed to confirm that the found item belonged to the White Orphanage, but Archibald, the orphanage's director, said that he did not know the person who had been arrested and did not know why the object of their orphanage had fallen into the hands of the other party.

The thin man who tricked Avi into the cell didn't reveal a word no matter how much he tortured him, and he tried to commit suicide, but fortunately the jailers found out and stopped him.

"Now the only information points to the White Orphanage, what do you have to do with it?" Bradley asked during an interview with Avi.

"I only followed Sir Stitch in there, nothing else. ”

"Well, I believe you, then the investigation of this matter will be halted for the time being, and when I get permission to search the White Orphanage, perhaps I will need your help. Bradley said a week ago.

Unexpectedly, only three days later, the eldest prince asked his henchman Fenrir to personally pick up Avi and go to the White Orphanage. Avi was accompanied by Felisty, and Bradley gave her permission.

"This way, please. "The tall gardener, who had been loitering behind the gate of the orphanage, respectfully walked up to the eldest prince Bradley, still dressed in a bright white full suit, and looked like the elder brother of all the orphans, while Dean Archibald, who stood not far away and waited for the eldest prince, looked like a loving father to the orphans.

"Dean Archibald, the last time I was here was more than ten years ago, and today I have come here with no doubt because the captured prisoner has the objects of the White Orphanage, in order to prove that the White Orphanage has nothing to do with it. ”

"Of course," Archibald said with his cane to support his aged body, "then he will show you the way today, and if you have any questions, you can ask him." He nodded and motioned for the tall gardener to show Bradley the way, and the eldest prince immediately took Avi and the others to inspect the White Orphanage.

This is the third time that Avi has entered the White Orphanage, and the flowers and plants here have not changed in the slightest, but the orphan Butterfly, who was still lively and smiling, has disappeared. He absolutely didn't believe in any nonsense for curing diseases, and Ah Die and Cynthia must have been sent to the depths of the orphanage's underground building, where unknown research experiments were underway. The information recorded in the list was already clear, and he himself knew the entrance to the underground building of the White Orphanage. At this time, a thought appeared in Avi's mind—should he put the list in the hands of the eldest prince, tell him what he knew, and then use their power to investigate the matter?

Just as Avi was thinking about whether to confess to Bradley, the red-haired girl patted the other party's shoulder with her hand as if she had seen through Avi's thoughts, "Don't think about it, the secret here is not just a prince who has been out of town for many years can solve it, maybe... There are so many people involved in the secret here, and their power is definitely bigger than you think. ”

Felisty's mysterious words made Avi stunned, and when he saw Fenrir looking back at him, he immediately avoided the other party's eyes, for fear that Fenrir would find out about his thoughts.

"So what do we do?"

"Michelle already has a plan!"

Avi and Felisty followed the eldest prince Bradley around the White Orphanage a few times, but nothing came of it. Bradley claimed to have obtained permission from King Byron to search, but he did not conduct any further investigation other than to chat with some of the orphans and talk to the gardeners here, but Fenrir, who had been keeping an eye on Avi, disappeared for a while. It wasn't long before he left with his own soldiers. When he parted ways with Avi, he claimed that there was nothing suspicious about the investigation, and that the matter could only be put aside for the time being because Miss Christine of the Duchy of Delamain was about to return to Mallot, and he was about to start preparing for the return of his brother Walter.

Bradley said that he would send some of his own soldiers to protect Stitch and Avi's personal safety, and he believed that the mercenary attack in Butterflytown and the incident of impersonating the guards in the city must be behind it. It will take time to find useful information from that person's mouth, and he believes that there will be a day when it will come out.

"This is the first problem I encountered when I returned to the capital, and I ask you and Sir Sticker to rest assured that the Kingdom of Sallins will not allow evil spirits to hide in the shadows. ”

Looking at the figure of the eldest prince in the distance, Avi suddenly felt that it was a happy thing for the people of Sarins to have such a responsible prince.

"This eldest prince really doesn't make a fool of it," Felisti saw the admiration in Avi's eyes, "His grades at the Kestrel Military Academy are very good, and if he becomes the king of this great kingdom, maybe other countries will be afraid of it." ”

Avi nodded, but he immediately remembered Felisty's words just now, "Didn't you say Michelle had a plan?

"She told you to prepare everything, to go to the west gate of Mallotte tomorrow afternoon, to meet us, and to sneak in in the evening through the secret passage of the shared forest. ”

"Didn't you say that there were a lot of guards in the forest, and that secret passage must have been sealed after that incident, right?"

"If it had been sealed, there would have been no more guards, and besides, the people of the White Orphanage wouldn't be stupid enough to let people know that they had a secret entrance," Phylisty explained, "and most importantly, Prince Bradley thought that the Forest of Coexistence should be a place for the people to play, and should not be a waste of troops, so he ordered the removal of most of the guards there, and the Grand Prince, whom you admire, is really a pragmatist." ”

Avi probably understood the meaning of the Michelle plan. Since the last time the drunken doorman died, Avi and the others had to endure and hide in order to avoid the wind. Especially the little girl Michelle, she never gave up the chance to find Adie, so now the opening of the forest is the best opportunity, maybe that secret entrance can really connect to the underground building of the orphanage.

The next afternoon, Avi brought the pink powder he had bought from the wandering bazaar with him, not wanting to bring the black powder of unknown effect, but he took it anyway after a brief hesitation. Avi didn't see any trace of Fan when he was leaving, which happened to be a matter of not telling the other party, so as not to be distracted, but instead saw Avi's coral who was going out again, and told Avi to be careful when he went out.

Felistie and Michelle had already changed into simple attire, and the reason why Michelle chose to explore the secret passage this afternoon was because Commander Evan left Mallott today and personally led his troops to the city west of the capital to meet the Grand Prince's subordinate Gadia, as well as the Duchess de la Draman, who was escorted back.

"Without Evan's surveillance, we can definitely find out the truth!"

"Well, I think the secret of the White Orphanage must have something to do with Commander Evan," Felistie said, looking at Millet's energetic eyes, "I hope he didn't build that underground structure at the behest of King Byron, or we'd be trying to find out the King's secret." ”

Avi and Xiaomi both nodded, and they both realized that the reason why the White Orphanage was able to make so many disabled orphans disappear under the noses of the people of the capital must be supported by someone. Michelle says her worst-case plan - she won't show mercy if Evan rushes out to stop her from rescuing Adie and Cynthia.

The three of them left the west gate of Mallot, and took advantage of the gradually darkening sky, and they quickly made their way to the outskirts of the forest where they coexisted. There were no guards of the Kingdom of Sallins in sight, only a few civilians who had come to play here appeared in front of them.

"Just follow me, that secret entrance is deep in the forest. With that, Michelle led the two of them into the forest. They left the road that people had trodden on, and walked into the uninhabited meadows. The forest is about one-eighth the size of a mallot, so if you're not familiar with the road, you're sure to get lost here. But Michelle seems to have her own unique way of remembering the way, and when the moon first sets, the three of them cross a stream and walk to the secret entrance and exit that Michelle remembers.

"This is it. Michelle took out a small torch to illuminate the surroundings and pointed to the grass covered with fallen leaves.
