The irascible Akai, Stephen Sand's feared vice captain of the law enforcement team, is one of the six apostles of the Red Pinwheel along with Emma and Jiang Yuanchi, but he entered the Six Apostles much earlier than the two of them, and is the most feared enforcer by wizards who like to make trouble.

According to Roger, Akai is actually a very good person, but in the process of law enforcement, he is very fond of using violence, which is resisted by the wizards. The law enforcement team is nominally to restrain some lawless wizards, but in fact, it is more to protect the interests of wizards.

This guy's career in the law enforcement team is also quite bumpy, it can be described as a few in and out, and he has gone through a sinking. He has only recently returned to power, perhaps in response to the turbulent undercurrents within Stephen Sand, which is becoming increasingly complex.

After all, since the last time he signed a white paper with Paradise Lost, the hidden Stephen Sand has become less silent.

In the face of this complicated situation, the original puppet law enforcement team was a little helpless, so they invited Akai, a violent brother, to preside over the overall situation.

Akai himself is not a wizard, on the contrary, his profession is a [Demon Hunter] who is very restrained from wizards; While this class is also part of the Arcane Empire's legacy, it is generally disliked by spellcasters—a creature's instinct for predators.

"As long as you don't meet him while he's enforcing the law, he's still like a normal person."

Roger concluded:

"His temperament is a bit cold and arrogant, and he doesn't look down on ordinary spellcasters, so his attitude will not be very good."

"This is his address, and I can write you a letter of recommendation if you want to visit."

Xu Nan nodded:

"Then please."

He doesn't necessarily need Akai's help, but Roger's letter of recommendation does.

It would be good if Jiang Yuan could come back sooner or later, with the cooperation of the internal information of the law enforcement team, the three tasks at hand would naturally not be worrying.

Roger was a cheerful man, and without saying a word, he summoned a quill pen and a bottle of ink and began to write letters.

The residents of Stephen Sand are still living at a relatively slow pace.

Strangers who want to visit their homes must follow etiquette, in addition to having friends as intermediaries to introduce each other, Xu Nan has to bring his own letter of recommendation to the other party's home to deliver the door sticker. The other party will choose whether to meet according to the situation.

Although Roger was happy to act as an intermediary for Xu Nan, he himself was also very busy, and Xu Nan could not expect a quasi-legend to make time to introduce friends to him.

Letters of recommendation are almost there.

When Roger was writing the letter of recommendation, Xu Nan tried to knock on the clues of the other two tasks.

Regarding the sneak attacker in the back of the head, Roger doesn't seem to be very concerned, after all, at his status, not everything will be cared about. Helena's affair is because it's so exaggerated, almost to the point of becoming a household name.

And when Xu Nan smelled a stray cat, something interesting happened.

Roger's face changed slightly, his hand that was writing a letter of recommendation suddenly shook lightly involuntarily, and the quill pulled out a long trace:

"Oops, I wrote it wrong......"

He said to himself, then sighed, and pulled out a piece of letter again—a letter of recommendation was like a business card, and according to Stephen Sand's etiquette, there must be no mistakes.

"Stray cats? Are there a lot of them at the airport? Maybe it's the people of the Small Animal Protection Association......."

He replied casually.

It's too fake.

Xu Nan complained silently in his heart, but he would not expose Roger's clumsy lies to his face.

Roger must have known something, but for some reason, he didn't speak.

Small Animal Protection Society? Although it may be Roger's casual nonsense, Stephen Sand's place is quite funny, and there are all kinds of strange associations, which is also a clue to follow.

Since it was inconvenient for Roger to speak, Xu Nan would not embarrass him.

After getting the letter of recommendation, Xu Nan thanked him and said goodbye.

Leaving the Elemental Tower.

Xu Nan first found a tavern, wrote a letter of worship by himself, and then went to the commercial area to buy some small gifts, and then went to Akai's house and delivered these things to the mailbox outside the door.

Even if Akai is at home at this time, it is rude for Xu Nan to visit rashly, he left his current address in the mailbox, if Akai is willing to see him, soon, a similar invitation will be sent to the mailbox of the Lettuce Hotel.

With the help of elves and various owls, Stephen Sand's postal system is still very developed.

……

In the afternoon, Xu Nan found Xie Yutong and went to the dock area together.

With the experience of yesterday's observation, Xie Yutong quickly took Xu Nan to find the traces of the stray cats.

Xu Nan observed that the stray cats in the dock area do not seem to have a specific pattern of activity, and most of them wander in the open terrain, which seems to be no different from the residents who come and go.

The most common places where stray cats gather are near the statue of the white float boat, and in the jungle on both sides of the airport square.

He estimated that there were more than two hundred stray cats wandering around the square alone.

The entire dock area, I don't know how many stray cats are hidden.

Where did so many stray cats come from?

This is a huge doubt.

The docklands are bustling but heavily guarded, but Stephen Sand's staff and residents turn a blind eye to the stray cats, and occasionally a few small children want to feed them, but their parents will severely discourage them.

That's a little weird.

"Senior, did you find anything?"

At dusk, under a shady tree, the two were resting.

Xie Yutong was holding a small notebook in his hand, which recorded a lot of things, but unfortunately the handwriting was so ugly that Xu Nan didn't know what was written.

"There are several speculations."

Xu Nan settled down, looked at a fat orange cat not far away who was trying to stand on the branch, and began his own analysis:

"First, these stray cats may be the experimental product of some great wizard. And this wizard is quite famous in Stephen Sand, everyone knows him, so they will turn a blind eye to those stray cats. I do feel that these stray cats don't seem to be quite the same as ordinary cats, and I can't say exactly where they are, which may be the result of that experiment. ”

Generally speaking, Stephen Sand's wizards pay attention to the protection of experimental subjects and the collection of data, how can they be left on the street after completing the experiment? Unless the process itself is also part of the experiment. ”

Xu Nan used tricks to change a glass of water for himself, and after drinking it, he felt light and tasteless, so he changed to a glass of milk.

"Second, these stray cats were originally domestic cats, but they were abandoned, but I have checked Stephen Sand's major events in recent years, and there is no clear indication that Stephen and Sand have abandoned domestic cats on a large scale. What's more, if this is the case, it does not explain the attitude of the residents of the neighborhood towards these stray cats. So the likelihood of such speculation is minimal. ”

"Third, these stray cats are bred because of magic pollution, maybe at the beginning, there were only a dozen or so, but because of the leakage of some alchemy potions or the pollution of the source of magic power, they have caused a large area of mutation, and their reproductive ability has been enhanced, and it is so much in a blink of an eye...... This is a little more likely, but it also doesn't explain the attitude of the residents......"

He freely listed six speculations, the most reliable of which was the first.

The rest of the speculation is difficult to explain the attitude of residents and passers-by towards stray cats.

The residents of the dock area obviously knew some reasons, but the headache was that Xie Yutong and Xu Nan had tried to negotiate and ask, and no one was willing to tell the truth.

After all, this is Stephen Sand, otherwise, Xu Nan would have already started to ask questions with the touch of dementia.

……

"Worthy of a senior!"

After listening to Xu Nan's analysis, Xie Yutong jumped up excitedly:

"There are so many possibilities! Especially the first one, I didn't even think about it! ”

She quickly took out a small notebook and began to transcribe Xu Nan's guesses.

Xu Nan looked at the other party's youthful aura jumping up and down, and couldn't help but remind her not to get carried away.

These are just speculations.

If you want to really find the secret of the source of stray cats, you need more observation and tracking.

"We've got to find a way to blend in with the stray cats."

"Do you have the Transfiguration of feline creatures?"

As soon as Xu Nan opened her mouth, she knew that it was Bai Qian, Xiao Xie's classmate was only a third-level warlock, and the Transfiguration Technique was simply a blind spot of knowledge for her.

You still have to rely on yourself.

He hesitated, then began to chant a low incantation.

Bang!

Xu Nan disappeared and was replaced by a small black quadruped.

"Wow! Senior, you can even transfigurate! ”

Xie Yutong showed an envious expression: "This dog is super cute!" ”

Xu Nan said silently: "This is the Demon Wolf of the Underworld......"

"Huh?" Xie Yutong had a question mark on his face.

Xu Nan looked at his little paw and added:

"Juveniles."

"By the way, do you think I look like a cat? Can you blend in with them? ”

Xie Yutong looked at it for a long time, and held it for a long time before he came out with a sentence:

“…… Can be like. ”

Xu Nan: "??? ”

Poof. The fat orange cat crushed the branches and fell straight from the tree and fell on the grass in front of them.

The orange cat licked its paws and got up, then glanced at Xu Nan, showed a disgusted expression and walked away quickly.

Xu Nan and Xie Yutong looked at each other, and in the end they could only sigh softly.

In this way, Xu Nan's plan to try to integrate into the stray cat group failed.

He wondered if he would buy some Transfiguration scrolls for feline creatures tomorrow.

It's just that things change in the evening.

Xu Nan, who was so sleepy that he yawned, was suddenly woken up by Xie Yutong:

"Senior, look? They're moving! ”

"They're going over there!"

"Hey, there's a boat!"

Xu Nan's spirit was shocked, and he fixed his eyes.

With his dark vision, he clearly saw that in a corner of the airport dock, an unmanned float boat quietly docked.

One by one, stray cats came out of all corners of the dock area silently.

They walked very quietly with graceful steps and lined up in a very orderly manner to board the boat.

They walk in the shadows, barely presence.

Only people like Xu Nan, who have been staring at the stray cat group all day, can detect this abnormality.

"What's going on with that ship?"

"What are they going to do?"

Xu Nan realized the key:

"Let's keep up and find a way to!"
