After attending a meeting that lasted more than 30 hours, Avi locked the door as soon as he got home, allowing himself to sleep for a day and a night without being harassed by anyone. Big Nose Fan could only keep shouting outside the door, then ran downstairs to sleep in the living room, and then came up to shout. When Avi finally woke up, it was already the middle of the night, and when he went downstairs, he covered Fan with a slightly thicker quilt and walked out of the house alone.

He hadn't taken a few steps when a cold wind and a whisper startled him.

"Are you going to any mysterious meeting again?" the red-haired girl's voice came from Avi's ear, "The mission given to me by Lord Golia hasn't changed, and I still want to watch you... This body. ”

Avi was relieved when he heard the familiar tone, and he didn't even have to look back, "What a mysterious meeting, that meeting... Well, it was an important meeting, about the future of the kingdom of Sahlins. ”

"You don't have to tell me, I have my own sources," Felistie clasped her hands behind her waist, her long hair growing a little longer, and the bangs on her forehead almost completely covering her eyes, "but I don't need to know yet, but I have something to tell you." ”

Avi seemed to realize that he hadn't seen the other party much recently, and the other party had indeed disappeared during the Kestrel Academy vacation, but he basically didn't worry about what would happen to this mysterious and intimate girl, after all, the other party was a good helper to help him settle accidents, and he was also a very reliable partner.

"It's not a trivial matter... We need to investigate the funeral mercenary group. ”

As soon as Felistie finished speaking, Avi stopped. Today's Mallote has long since lost the tension of martial law, but a person who stops for no reason and frozes in a daze will still startle others, except that no one will look at another passerby on the street in the middle of the night.

"The funeral mercenary group... I heard they disbanded?"

"That's just a rumor, we need to know about them, after all, they played a huge role in that succession dispute, especially on the battlefield. As Bradley's confidant, you don't know anything about them. ”

"I haven't seen anyone from that mercenary group in the past six months, as if they were only hired once, and after getting the results once, they disappeared. ”

"That's what I need to investigate, and it's Mistress Goliath's mission, this mercenary group is so mysterious that it seems that they have chosen to hide in the westernmost part of the kingdom of Sallins for many years. That night you saw for yourself how magical forces can turn the tide of war, threatening the stability of the Kingdom of Sallins and your trusting Lord Regent Bradley. ”

Avi and Felisty have unknowingly walked to the ruins of the Kingdom of Salins, where a huge military camp is being built under Bradley's orders, a new martial arts training school, and a horse training farm, all in order to revive the Kingdom of Sallins, a powerful country that worships martial arts.

Avi nodded a few times, "I understand, I'll think about this matter seriously." ”

"That's right, you're now a well-known 'House Knight', and the responsibilities on your shoulders seem to be heavier, and it's getting harder and harder to allocate time. Felisti suddenly "swooped" from behind Avi, she supported Avi's shoulders with both arms, and made a flying motion, relying on the bounce force beyond ordinary people to step over Avi's head.

Avico remembered her mother telling her that a girl would not be able to grow taller if she stepped over a boy's head, so he chased after Felisty as she ran away, shouting for her to stop, even if it might disturb the sleeping residents.

Early the next morning, Avi was summoned by Reeves, the acting head of the Kestrel Academy, to interrogate Dorothea, the woman who had been with Walter all along, and the woman who usually dressed and acted like a madman had been trying to assassinate Bradley several times after being released. In Dorothea's eyes, she has always blamed Bradley for Walter's death. Bradley also investigated the woman, who was Walter's closest bodyguard and was originally a patient at the Wintertown Asylum for the Insane, but was brought out by Walter during his expedition there. Since then, she has been inseparable from Walter and has become Walter's trusted bodyguard.

"Avi, you are the most trusted person in the Kestrel Academy, and we are all working for the Lord Regent and the country now. It was the first time Reeves had spoken to Avi alone, which made Avi feel a little stressed, especially when looking at the thick white mask of the other party.

"Lord Reeves... Why would you trust me?"

"That's because I know your experience, and a Minister of Intelligence also needs to do a lot of work, such as your past experience. ”

Although Avi felt that it was unlikely that the other party would know about his previous experience in Sky City, he was still a little uneasy, after all, behind the mask was an invisible expression, this guy was even more eerie than Heck, and it was indeed the most mysterious one of the "lines" in the "cat nest".

"Lord Reeves, before... I don't seem to show up very often, as for my experience..."

"According to the previous clues, it seems that you have committed a murder in Golden Shoe City," Reeves suddenly changed his words, which was the most feared thing in Avi's heart, "Although the people you killed are beneficial to the Kingdom of Salins, it does not mean that we can ignore the motives of those Imperial people who came here." As he spoke, Reeves raised an index finger, which was particularly slender like a thin candle.

"I... I..."

"It is also because you have been charged with certain sins, so that you can accept the Regent's preferential treatment of you more wholeheartedly, and I believe that you know how to be grateful, so I will trust you, and your heart will follow the Lord Regent and the kingdom of Sarins that has given you justice. ”

Reeves's words hit the nail on the head, and Avi didn't know how to deal with it because of his inner turmoil and panic. From this moment on, Avi developed an inexplicable awe of Reeves, a masked man, who was able to discover the truth from some clues of the past when he met him for the first time, and his insight was indeed amazing.

When he was about to get to Dorothea's prison, Reeves told Avi, "As you can imagine, the Overseer of the Capital is growing, whether it will grow into an uncontrollable behemoth or an astute hound that can receive commands from attack, that's all we need to know." For the sake of the regent and the stability of the kingdom, and for the sake of the great cause of the kingdom, we should take this matter seriously. ”

As Dugol had guessed, Reeves's assignment to the Kestrel Academy was indeed related to the Capital Overseer. Avi also realizes that Bradley is beginning to notice the changes in the Capital Overseer, and that this brotherhood formed by the best students of the Kestrel Academy needs to be properly guided in order to be used by the kingdom.

Avi didn't dare to speak casually anymore, and after thinking deeply, he asked in a low voice, "Does that female prisoner have anything to do with the Kestrel Academy?"

"You mean Dorothea, right," Reeves told the jailers to leave, and slowly picked up a notepad left by the jailers, which recorded Dorothea's daily behavior, "This woman is the closest person to Prince Walter, and at the same time a special person, she was not brought to the insane hospital because of madness, and Prince Walter did not bring her back here because of kindness. ”
