Fael was nervous and almost at a loss when he pushed the door in. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Yuffie stood up and beckoned him to sit down beside the three of them. Lynn waved her hand at him easily and patted him on the solid shoulder; Elena politely introduced herself and poured the man a cup of tea.

Their actions made Fael relax a little, and he took a few deep breaths, as if he had made up his mind, and whispered a name.

"It's Gid Sheen."

"Gid?" Lin raised her hand to cover her mouth, looking a little surprised, "How do you know, and...... Why do you want to tell us? ”

"I ...... How to put it. Fael took two sips of tea, trying his best to keep himself calm, but the suppressed excitement and unease could still be seen on his face," Kratos ...... I have heard you say that I intend to save his life as best I can...... I believe in you, so please believe in me too. ”

"I understand. Wizards don't make promises easily, and you can rest assured. Yuffie looked into the man's eyes and calmly responded, "Please continue." ”

"It was a very fortuitous chance." Fael said slowly, "He'...... Kratos was in a bad mood that day, and he drank a lot, and I heard him talking to himself on the way home. "The man kept his head down, his voice soft and slow," he said, reciting a name called Gide Sheen, saying that he had ruined his life, and that he was ...... Let him get out of his life. I was ...... I didn't pay much attention to it, but now that I think about it, this man and the "messenger" you are looking for...... Maybe there's some connection. ”

"Speaking of which, Mr. Fael." Elena filled the teacup in the man's hand and asked casually, "Does Kratos usually have any other friends besides you?" ”

"Probably...... Without. Fael shook his head, "He used to be preoccupied with the study of potions, but more than a year ago, after knowing that he was sick, he became even more ...... Eccentric. Still, he's a good husband and father, I can assure you. ”

Yuffie combed her long hair and bit her lower lip in thought. Whatever the specific reason, it is not surprising that Fallel valued and cared about Kratos and offered to provide the information. However, another passage resurfaced in her mind like an uninvited guest—

"The new guild leader here, Fael Aurora, has some questions...... I haven't found out his purpose yet, but this man is not to be trusted."

It is clear that the means of replacing Kratos are glorious or not. But Kid Sheen's deliberate mention of his name does not seem like a simple coincidence. Yuffie's mind turned, and he got up and walked across from the man, "Fael, do you know this man named Gid?" ”

"No, I've never heard of him—you know him?" The man shook his head, his face faintly anticipating.

"I've seen it." She turned to her friend, "What do you think, Lynn?" ”

"I don't know." Lin nodded her lips, "Anyway, he's not just an intelligence dealer, and it seems that even my mother doesn't know where he comes from." However, he has lived here for so many years, and he can always leave a little black history...... Why don't we take a closer look? ”

The pink girl brushed the hair from her forehead with her index finger, was silent for a moment, and then shook her head.

"No, we have to act now." "I have a hunch that the 'Messenger' probably knows we're investigating him—or even that we're approaching him," she said quickly. In order to prevent him from fleeing here, or making more troublesome moves, we have to hurry. ”

"Lynn, you go and inform Lady Annaville and ask her to prepare the corresponding support." She tucked the notes on the table back into her waist bag and began to cast the protective techniques she used to use in battle, "I, Elena and I, and Fael, go and see Gid-Kratos now, and even if he is not the 'Messenger', we can still learn about Kratos from him. ”

The girl's gaze was serious and calm, but there was always a trace of uneasiness in her heart. The judgment she made was related to the safety of hundreds of Crow Knights and more ordinary people. In this way, they still know too little about the man who may be the enemy.

She had never been more hopeful that her instincts were accurate.

"I think you're right." After a moment of silence, Lin agreed, "Well, I've said it many times, and it's okay to say it again - stay safe, and so will Elena." ”

They quickly settled the bill and left the tavern. Lynn was the first to part with the others and ran briskly in the direction of Campbell Manor. Yuffie waited until the remaining two were ready—and Fael took some time to make up his mind—and went to Gid Sheen's house as he remembered last time.

Granville Street was as quiet as ever in the afternoon, and the fat country cat squinted at the three of them with a hint of disdain in his gaze. She walked around it, knocked on the somewhat faded carved wooden door, and watched it open inward, revealing a neatly groomed face.

"Welcome, Elena—no, Miss Yuffie Stanmitz." The young man called out the girl's full name, his gaze swept over the tall man behind her, and a trace of imperceptible disgust flashed in his pupils, "And our Guild receptionist, Mr., and, who is this lady?" ”

"Elena, the traveling nun of the Church." The blue-haired girl replied simply, "You are Mr. Gide." ”

The man shrugged his shoulders exaggeratedly and leaned sideways to make a gesture to enter.

"I didn't think I'd be so famous." He said, "Since it's a regular customer, come in, I'm happy to serve two beautiful ladies." ”

"I ...... What about me? Fael's voice was a little erratic, and Yuffie looked up at the man's expression in disbelief, as if he was standing opposite not a well-dressed young gentleman, but a tiger who had chosen to devour people.

"For Yuffie and Elena's sake, you come with you." Gide replied coldly, turned around, and led the way to the house, "I hope you won't be fired from the Guild for absenteeism without cause." ”

"Have you seen him?" After the three of them were seated, while Gid was preparing refreshments, Yuffie asked in a whisper again.

"No...... I've heard his voice. The man rubbed his hands together and fidgeted and replied, "Yes...... In dreams. ”

In a dream? What kind of terrible dream could make Fael fear like this? She continued to ask the question, but the man shook his head vigorously and refused to answer concretely.

"In Mr. Gide, I smell the herbs." Elena suddenly leaned into her ear and said, "The aroma here is not ordinary incense, it is mixed with drugs that can strengthen the mind—the church occasionally uses it during group meditation, and the price does not seem to be cheap." ”

The girl nodded slightly, and the clues given by the two further raised the suspicion of Gid Sheen, but could not be used as conclusive evidence. She thought about what to do next, and where Lynn might be now. Soon, Gid handed the three of them the teacups and fruit as he had done the previous time, and then sat down across from them.

"Say it." He chuckled and raised his hand, "Everything follows the old rules." ”

Yuffie looked at the two of them and saw that Elena was thinking, and Fael had no intention of speaking. She was silent for a moment, then asked the first question, "Gid, do you know where Kratos Miltien has gone?" I'm looking for him. ”
