She and Alexie rode to the nearest city to the town of Vilam, where they returned their tired horses to the Chamber of Commerce, and immediately rented two energetic and fine horses and headed for a larger city in the northeast, where they set out for the city of Wendelier farther north on the expensive flying mount of the White-striped Eagle Vulture, instead of the smooth, comfortable and slow Magic Skyboat.

After several twists and turns, she and Alexie finally arrived at their destination on the afternoon of the third day, two days ahead of the day foretold by the 'astrologer' Shamil Rod.

In this magical world, the difference between villages, small towns and cities is huge, and the situation of villages is needless to say, they are the most common forms of human habitation in various territories, mostly the dwellings of some tenants and serfs subordinate to the nobility, the status of either free people, or slaves of large and small nobles, and those small nobles are generally not far from the village, with their own manor as a place of residence. The manor that Alex owned before was bought at a low price by the magical girl from a petty nobleman who was so downtrodden that he had to sell his property.

As for small towns, they are generally in a special geographical location, in the traffic arteries or places with more prosperous economic development, which can attract businessmen or travelers from all over the world, and have a certain flow of people, which can be said to be the prototype of the city, but the biggest difference between this kind of town and the city is whether there is a castle or not.

There is a common knowledge in this magical world, that is: a city can only be called a city if it has a castle, otherwise, no matter how prosperous it is, it is just a larger town!

Because the castle is a symbol of a city's stability, a symbol of a city's prosperity, and a symbol of a city's strength.

Only those powerful nobles have the ability to build a strong castle, only the armed forces of these nobles can make a city free from the interference of all kinds of people or things, as long as the castle stands, the city built around it can be stable, and develop itself with peace of mind, without worrying that one day it will be invaded by powerful enemies and rob their own property. Conversely, without the support of the castle's armed forces, even the most economically prosperous town could have been destroyed overnight, which is not uncommon in history.

A city with a castle is called a city no matter how small it is, and a town without a castle is just a town no matter how big it is!

This is a universally accepted truth in this magical world.

And the city of Wendelier, the place where she and Alexie had arrived, was such a 'little town' with a castle. In terms of size, it is not much bigger than the bustling towns, but because of the presence of a tall gray-black castle in the center, it can proudly name itself the word 'city'.

According to a magical girl, this is the domain of a viscount with the family name 'Colvic', and his status among the nobility of the kingdom is not low.

Oh, and on top of that, Alexie also took the initiative to explain their position to her for the first time, well, if some little girl hadn't deceived her, it would have been a country called the Kingdom of Chirod!

The city of Wendelier, located in the northern part of the kingdom of Chirod, is bound to fall with snow every winter.

At this moment, she was sitting on the top of the clock tower in the northern part of this small city, tightening the mist cloak on her body with her hand, and she couldn't help complaining about a certain little girl in her heart.

Although it is not yet winter, the temperature has become very low, and being blown by the whirring wind is no more beautiful and freezing than blowing some kind of powerful indoor refrigeration machine in front of you!

Tut...... Although my current alchemy doll body is not human, it can also feel hot and cold!

She let out a long burst of white air, rubbed her palms, muttered in her heart, and pressed the edelweiss felt hat on her head again, which was the only warmth that a certain little girl had financed for her, and as for her own little money, it had already been spent on the journey, so that she still owed Alex a small sum of silver Manny.

"Well, we're just a partnership, aren't we?"

When she didn't have the money to rent a ride, a certain cunning little fox just said to her, the little girl said that she could help herself with this money temporarily, but she must repay it later, of course, the interest is calculated separately!

In the end, the penniless man had to succumb to the little fox's might and watch as a certain number of debts kept going up, and she could only do it in a hurry.

Well, it's decided!

If you have the opportunity, you must go to a big ticket and earn some golden Manny, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!

She vaguely regretted that when she was in the Mundra Valley, she didn't take the treasure of a certain group of thieves for herself, even if she couldn't take much, but there should always be some valuable but convenient gadgets in their treasure trove, right?

Tsk, after all this time, I guess they're all cheaper than the bounty hunters or mercenaries who heard the news, right? Or are there some other thieves and thieves nearby?

She licked her lips, which had been blown dry by the cold wind, and with a movement of her hands, the simple telescope that she had made out before was brought out again, overlapped in front of her eyes, and adjusted slightly to the direction of the city gate.

Yes, this city of Wendelier is not like those large cities, it only has gates in the north and south directions, and the east and west sides are against snow-capped mountains, it is an important city in the kingdom of Chirod for north-south transportation, and the towering building with gray-black walls in the center of it is more like a fortified fortress than a castle!

After she arrived, she only took a few glances at the nearby terrain, and could easily tell that this city of Wendelier was not as simple as it seemed, and geographically speaking, if there was a war, it would definitely be a battleground.

However, this kind of thing has nothing to do with her, and all she has to do now is to act separately from Alexie, and one person is responsible for keeping an eye on the city gate on one side.

While it was unlikely that a certain Bandit Leader would have entered through the gate to the north, she had consulted with Alex and decided to put this place in the spotlight just in case. As for the southern gate, which is more likely, it is naturally watched by a magical girl who claims to be able to easily feel the existence of the special magic fluctuations of the 'Dream Crown'.

So, some hapless guy can only sit on the top of the clock tower --- the highest position in the northern city to monitor the movement of the northern gate. Because, now that it is the fifth day prophesied by a certain 'astrologer', if there is no accident, some fish that they have been looking for a long time should swim into this pool.

As for why she chose to do this, instead of wandering around the city gate, but choosing to sit on a high place and observe with a telescope, it was actually just the previous professional habits of this thing.

Hey?

Suddenly, her eyes narrowed, focusing on the two men who had just ridden in from the city gates.

It was two people who were dressed in a peculiar way, each riding a horse, a man and a woman, both dressed in a warm thick robe peculiar to the cold northern regions, wearing the same style of gray coat, and at the edge was the same snow-white fluff as the felt hat on her head, but I don't know what kind of animal fur it was made of, and it looked very warm.

Of course, this is not because someone's own body is a little cold and she envy and pay attention to each other, what really makes her concentrate is the weapons and equipment of the man and woman!

I saw that on the man's back, there were two sword sets that crossed each other, and the style was not like the broad-edged sword that ordinary mercenaries usually had, nor was it like the knight's sword style she had seen from a certain Richard's chief of the guard, but rather a bit like a nobleman's stabbing sword or a thin sword, which were wrapped in a thick leather scabbard, and were firmly attached to the man's back, swinging slightly as the horse walked, and the edge was dormant.

As for the woman's weapons, they were not as 'flamboyant' as the man's, on the contrary, they were still very closely hidden, but from the angle of the top of the bell tower where she was, it was the brief moment when the woman turned over from the horse's back with the reins in one hand, and the robe agitated, she saw clearly the shape of the two things pinned to the other party's waist, which were slightly protruding from the top.

Poor God, due to the sensitivity of her profession, her usual focus would be on the target of this part, and she found something similar on both sides of the woman's waist!

Gun?

Gunpowder?!

Her eyes narrowed, a pair of blood-red eyes flickering, and she was sure she was not wrong for a moment.

Because, that familiar curved shape, that metallic charm was definitely the kind of thing she had seen once before from some blonde demon in a top hat!

Is it really a gun? This kind of weapon, it really exists in this magical world?

Although she had seen many strange powers, the one that impressed her the most was the existence of firearms similar to her original world!

No one knows the power of these firearms better than she does, and perhaps there are people in this magical world who specialize in using them as their own weapons. After all, for ordinary people without bloodline power, this gunpowder weapon should be the easiest and powerful weapon for them to master, right?

Not...... Demon Hunter, Bounty Hunter, or Mercenary?

Her eyes moved with the figures of the man and the woman, and she guessed the identities of the two men, but she didn't know what it meant about the title 'Demon Hunter', which she had only heard once. Literally, she could probably guess the meaning behind 'mercenary' and 'bounty hunter', but she couldn't be sure of the word 'demon hunter', and even in the memories of the souls of those young girls in her soul, some people had only heard of its existence, and there was no detailed description of such people.

Tsk, these two guys look pretty good!

While staring at each other, she secretly judged the strength of the two. Obviously, the other party's steady and powerful breathing, confident expression, and the occasional small movements of the body were all testifying to her judgment.

Hey, that's interesting!

She pursed her lips and muttered something in her heart. As the other party walked into a hotel and completely lost her figure, she had to give up and continue to observe. Then, she lifted the blood condensation mirror in her hand, and took another breath of white air into her hands, rubbed it, and moved her somewhat cold and stiff fingers.

There seem to be a lot of powerful guys in this magical world......

She tightened the misty cloak on her body again, and silently cursed a few words to a certain miserly little fox by the way, and then completely gave up tracking and observing the duo of a man and a woman, sacrificed the blood condensation mirror, and refocused in the direction of the city gate.

However, before she could continue to observe, a pure black butterfly fluttered its wings and flew towards her, and finally stopped her hand.

She stared at the little thing, staring at it, but unable to discern anything from its vibrating wings, and sighed, then waved it away.

However, she didn't need to see anything from it, because she had made a pact with a magical girl that she would receive such a Dark Butterfly if Alexie found out.

Yes, at this time when the psychic connection can't play a role due to distance, she can only make a simple appointment with Alex in this way.

Therefore, there is only one meaning that this dark butterfly represents!

Not... Has that little girl already found her target?

She put away the Bloodline Mirror, turned around, and looked south of Wendelier City in the direction of the Pact Seal, but she couldn't see anything of interest.

She didn't care about this, tightened the mist cloak on her body, and pressed the edelweiss felt hat on her head with her left hand......
