"The map was taken?" came to Tarrant's surprise, who thought that this important clue would be closely guarded.

"As the key evidence of the whole affair, this original picture of the falcon has been taken away and presented to the king. But you don't have to worry, I made a copy, I think what you need is a copy", Ryan pulled open a drawer and pulled out a map.

Yesterday Rex didn't say whether he wanted the original map or a copy of the map, it shouldn't matter much, Tarrant took the map and spread it out on his desk, the map of the Serenzo Empire, with more than a dozen places marked with red dots, spread across the entire border, he looked down, the town of Watt on the border between Comoch and Serenzo was marked with a big red dot, this red dot is still a little strange, it is oval, across the town of Watt and the town of Nai'an, there should be a large forest, Tarrant pointed to this location and asked: " Why is this nest in Watt Town marked with an oval?"

Ryan looked at the dot, "I just made a simple copy, and the original drawing was marked with an ellipse." ”

There is also a red dot in the Cuilin Mountains, just near a valley, this red dot is relatively large, which may indicate that the scale of this nest is larger than other places, "The red dot of Cuilin Mountain in the original picture is also so big?"

"Yes, it's more convenient to build a nest in that area, I think the nest of Cuilin Mountain is one of the first nests to be established, that place is very close to Tingwu Mountain, if the spirit sucking monster runs to the ground from a nearby dark passage, the nest of Cuilin Mountain is the nearest base, and it will be put into use earlier than the place where it was built in the later stage, and the scale will definitely be larger. ”

Tarrant put away the map and carefully placed it in the spirit pattern bag, "When will the Empire give an answer?"

"By tomorrow afternoon at the latest. ”

"So fast?" the order to mobilize the Empire's most elite troops was completed in just one day, which was satisfactory efficiency.

"The two generals attach great importance to this matter, and they will see the king to-night, and explain the situation, and if the minister's opinion is required, the results will be available tomorrow morning, and if the king has a decision at once, I believe that the king will go to the lairs early tomorrow morning. ”

Things went a little too far, and in Tarrant's mind, the king was always procrastinating and delaying the opportunity, and if he could act tomorrow, it would prove that the empire really took this matter seriously, and the ghostly incident was about to become history.

The hour hand on the wall was already past 8, and it was time for Rex to rest later, and Tarrant got up, "Then I'll go back first, I'll come tomorrow morning to hear the news, and if the king is ready, I'll go into battle at once." Katrina also got up and took her leave.

Ryan nodded, "Get some rest." Goodbye, ma'am. ”

The two walked out of the sheltered light, Tarrant walked with his head down, Katrina had been listening to the conversation just now, she already knew about the spirit sucking monster, and she also knew that Tarrant was about to leave Siant, and they were going to separate again, would she be angry, Tarrant didn't know how to face her, he looked at Katrina's dear face, she also looked down and thought about things, according to the past, she would definitely jump up, but tonight it was quiet.

The bounty poster at the door of the Andreas Hotel has been replaced, Blenger's bounty has been exchanged for 2400 gold coins, Tarrant stepped forward to look at the avatar on it, it was a kind person, but the portrait was a complete villain, his eyes were cold, and the corners of his mouth were evil, disgusting, Tarrant tore off the poster and threw it into the trash can on the side.

Walking across the damp floor, the two stopped at the door of the easternmost room, and Tarrant knocked on the door.

Rex was in the room, and he was surprised by the falcon's efficiency, and when he took the map and checked the red dots one by one, his face showed a look of remorse, the missing squads of the Knights were the bones near a red dot.

He didn't ask if the map was the original, and Tarrant relieved himself and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

"I'm going back to the Knights once, there are some things that must be verified, so go back first. ”

"What are you going to do?" Catrina's girlish nature likes to know the outcome.

Rex put away the map, "Something in the regiment." I'll send the map back. ”

"She didn't mean that," Tarrant apologized on his behalf, "and we can help you if you need it." ”

Rex patted Tarrant on the shoulder, "I can handle it myself, I'll be here tomorrow for your departure orders", he squeezed out a small smile.

"Alright, tomorrow afternoon at the latest, you're ready," Tarrant said no longer reluctantly, taking Katrina's hand and walking out the door.

It was already dark, the moonlight was obscured, the streets were gloomy, and after walking out of Andrias, Tarrant turned into the small alley next to it, and could observe the main entrance of Andrias.

"What are you going to do?" said Katrina, unsure of such an obvious motive.

Tarrant took a wooden crate piled up in the alley and sat down, "Let's see if our friends need our help." ”

"Good idea!" said Katrina, who also pulled a wooden box and sat behind Tarrant, "what is he going to do?"

"The internal problems of the Storm Knights, it's hard to say. ”

"Oh......" Catrina replied as she leaned against Tarrant's back, her body sharing her temperature.

A gust of air in the alley blew through her clothes, Katrina shuddered, hugged Tarrant from behind, her little face was pressed against her sturdy back, and it immediately warmed up, and she asked coquettishly, "Tomorrow you will go to clear the spirit sucking monsters, right?"

There is no escaping the question, sooner or later there will be a showdown, Tarrant cleared his throat, "After chasing them for so long, there will be results immediately." ”

"Are they really as scary as the books say?

The content of the book does not reflect the horror of ugly creatures, which is not something that the mages staying in the research institute can understand, and Tarrant comforted: "Of course it's not scary, it's just some mollusks, even walking is a problem, and it will be fine." ”

Katrina stopped talking, quietly enjoying the warmth of her back.

At the door of the inn, a knight appeared, armed with a mace, and Tarrant held his girlfriend's hands, "He's out." ”

Katrina peeked out half of her head from behind him, "Rex has changed into armor." ”

"The people of the Storm Knights are very careful about their image, and they never take off their armor in public, this is to maintain the authority of the Storm Goddess", which made Tarrant a little admired, when he was in Siante, as long as he wore civilian clothes without tasks, he could save a lot of effort, and the style of the Storm Knights was more tough.

Rex walked out of Andreas and headed for the borough.

"Where is he going?" Catrina was never able to come up with the simplest conclusions, she only learned how to absorb knowledge in the graduate school, and she was slow to think and analyze.

"Temple of the Storm, he is looking for a man who he suspects the target. ”

"Oh......"

Rex turned a few corners into a small path, and immediately behind him a sneaky and unfamiliar dark shadow appeared.

Katrina grabbed Tarrant, "Seems to be ...... Bandit. ”

It is indeed the robbers, the professional criminals of the business district have reappeared, stalking, surrounding, robbing, they will wait at those special intersections, and once a fish enters the net, they will surround the path from both ends and attack the target.

"It depends, let's keep our distance", the shadow hadn't noticed the other two behind him, Tarrant slowed down and distanced himself from the robbers, the clash would only allow Rex to spot them.

Two dark shadows appeared on the other side of the trail, both of them were dagger parties, and they were not a big threat.

The battle over there was about to begin, and Tarrant crouched down on the spot, and during the scuffle, it was difficult for Rex to spot a man crouched in the corner in the dark night, even if he turned his head.

The three robbers slowly approached Rex, they saw the mace in Rex's hand, took a firm flanking position, and one of the leaders stepped forward and said something like "money" and "life".

With Rex's temper, he would never have paid for it, and maybe he would have killed the killers, and Tarrant guessed that the robbers were in serious trouble.

Before the robber could finish speaking, Rex's mace had already shot and smashed into his face quickly and ferociously, and the robber's body instantly lost support and fell to the ground.

The robbers on both sides rushed forward, Rex raised his foot and kicked one away, the mallet was thrown on the belly of the other, and while the robber was crouching, he cleanly followed an elbow blow to his neck, and the second robber fell to the street, the robber who was kicked away was no longer ready to attack, turned around and ran towards the exit, Rex chanted a spell, and a red ball of energy flew towards him, hitting the back of the robber's head, and the whole skull burst open, like a watermelon shattered by a wooden stick, and the juice was spilled everywhere.

Rex put away his mallet and walked out of the trail as if nothing had happened.

Tarrant followed, the first robber's face collapsed, he couldn't tell where his nose was, his skull should have been shattered, the second's neck and spine were broken, and even if he could wake up, he would be crippled, and the third ...... Katrina threw up, and she walked out of the path with Tarrant's help, the white scum splattered on the walls making her vow never to drink soy juice or milk again.

Ahead of Rex had turned into another path and entered the borough, it was a shortcut, he was indeed going to the Temple of the Storm, and the two of them waited at an intersection far from the temple, sitting on a bench on the side of the street.

Outside the temple, two knights, who had never changed, stood at the door, like statues, and those who entered and exited were neatly dressed in armor or robes.

Katrina covered her mouth, holding back her nausea, and she thought of a new question, "Will there be any accidents if we don't follow up?"

"There should be only one or a very small number of members in it, most of the members of the Storm Knights have a strong idea of serving the Storm Goddess, even if there is a conflict, those fallen will never dare to do anything in the temple and kill themselves. ”

"The Storm Knights are a violent organization. ”

"The different interpretations of justice are beyond our comprehension as Knights. ”

"Can justice, which most people cannot agree with, still be called justice?"

This is a philosophical question that should be answered by the boring poets, and Tarrant said vaguely: "The justice they guard is only in their own hearts, and they do not seek our approval." ”

"A withdrawn group", Katrina leaned over and retched, the camera flashing back in her mind, and the more she didn't want to remember, the clearer the details became.

Tarrant patted his girlfriend's back gently and comforted, "Don't think about those things, you know...... The Spirit Sucker likes to use a straw to suck the things on the wall. ”

"Vomit ......!" vaguely with the sour smell of crispy meat rolls, red leaf wine, fragrant roast goose and other aromas mixed together......

Now Tarrant wanted to vomit, he pulled Katrina up, "Let's go, the fresh air can suppress the nausea in his chest." ”

The two of them wandered the streets, calming their minds as the cold air of the night entered their chests, and Katrina perked up a little.

Passing by the Hall of Truths, Tarrant noticed a group of workers setting up booths and handing out leaflets, as if there was something going on tomorrow.

They returned to the corner of the Storm Knights, changed positions, and sat on the chairs on the side of the doorway, "I don't know if Rex came out", Katrina hugged her chest, and walked around a little cold.

"Perhaps...... No. ”

There was a slight noise behind him, and before Tarrant could look back, a hand was already on his shoulder, "You two are following me?" Rex stood behind him with an expressionless face.
