Today's Hyderabad Fort has the style of Tulum Harbor after the Mid-Autumn Massacre.

The streets were full of soldiers in iron-gray uniforms; At the intersection, sandbags are barricades; In the air, huge war airships circled back and forth; On the roofs of buildings, pillars of light from giant spotlight gas lamps swept around.

Joe rode Xiaobai and rushed out of the south gate of Hydrera, surrounded by a large group of knights.

A knight of the Knights of the Hundred of the Knights of the Great Dra, and a knight of the Royal Knights of the Thousand Ranks, all of them tense their faces and galloped wildly.

At the rear of the brigade were thirty-six enclosed eight-wheeled wagons of heavier and larger models.

Each carriage was pulled by twelve large horses, and the wheels of pure metal rubbed violently against the ground, making a dull sound and splashing sparks.

Thirty-six ancient demon puppets curled up, lying on the load-loaded carriage, dragged by the horses, the cart galloped, barely keeping up with the speed of the brigade led by Joe.

Two royal knights ran at the front, armed with iron-gray cavalry spears with small triangular Hydra shield-patterned flags hanging from them. They shouted from time to time, and the soldiers on the barricades and streets along the way saw two shield-patterned flags, and they all got out of the way and saluted towards the flags.

The brigade galloped along the street towards the south.

Along the way, in addition to the soldiers on guard and patrol, there were also large groups of clergy wearing gold, silver, and white robes. They led a large group of military police, like hunting dogs, to patrol around, from time to time breaking into the door, tossing a lot of movement.

On the war airship in the air, there were even wisps of silver divine light sprinkled.

The nuns of St. Maya's Cathedral have boarded the airship and are using magic to purify the entire city.

On the side of the road, from time to time, flocks of city fox rats and Portusse people were tied up in strings of ropes, escorted by soldiers, and walked out of the city with their heads down.

These are all a bunch of unlucky people who take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble and rob while the fire is hot...... What awaited them was a severe punishment after harsh interrogation. This time, the upper echelons of the empire were furious, and it was lucky that this group of people could be sent to the small island in the icy sea to the north to mine.

Among these people, there are many who jump out and make trouble at the first time.

They are likely to be involved in the masterminds...... If they were really tortured and had anything to do with this chaos, what was waiting for them was likely to implicate the Nine Clans, and the whole family would be shot or exiled.

No, they will all be burned at the stake by the church.

After all, there's a heresy of the Corrosive Spirit involved!

After running through a dozen street corners, Tooth chased after him with a group of family guards, bringing news of Hesse, Tifa, and Weima.

Together, Hesse found Tifa and Weima.

In the chaos, Hesse and his party successfully withdrew to the Apophis Palace, except for a little fright, but there was no major problem. Even, Tifa took the family guards and captured a group of Portusians who were taking advantage of the chaos near the Apophis Palace.

After receiving the news from his family, Joe was immediately relieved.

Then, there was another nameless fire in his heart - Weima was frightened...... It's good, he has a feud with the main messenger behind the scenes.

"Dear Crimson, perhaps, you need a little bit of knowledge for the situation?" Laprahi's shrill voice sounded in his mind, and he smacked his small pipe and said softly, "I happen to have a lot of cheap and valuable knowledge of the Tracking Magic Array here......

Joe grinned, revealing two rows of big teeth, and shook his head gently: "Wait until I'm done with the task." ”

He licked his lips subconsciously, and the speed of his heartbeat increased inexplicably a lot - Mia and Michael had robbed such a huge amount of wealth, if Joe could solve this case and take that wealth back...... In other words, this bonus can't be less, right?

There are so many countries and so many big people on the mainland of Medland, everyone won't be stingy, right?

Even......

Qiao pondered, if he could solve this case as quickly as possible and catch the main messenger behind the scenes, at the palace banquet of the New Year's celebration, Hesse's title should be slightly mentioned?

Now Salian promised the Marquis!

Duke of Hesse?

It seems that this title is not bad!

The cold wind blew from behind, making Joe's small cloak tremble. Snow flakes flew down from the sky again, and the snowy pillars of light above the tall buildings tore through the air, and the snow flakes streaked across the pillars of light, inexplicably giving Hyderabad a little more fantastical and mysterious.

In the southeast corner of Hyderabad, a medium-sized pier.

It's night, but the dock is still quite lively.

It is more than ten miles away from Hydrerabad, and the turmoil in Hydrderabad during the day did not affect here.

As I said before, for unknown reasons, the Rhine does not freeze even in the coldest winters.

The river is still mighty, the water transport business on the Rhine is still prosperous in winter, and there is no so-called winter break for the sailors and workers who rely on the docks to eat.

On the contrary, because of the cold, the major cities along the river need to transport large quantities of food, coal, timber and other materials by water, and the work of sailors and workers is much heavier, and because of the cold, their salaries are much higher than in other months.

The people who are messing around on the docks are a bunch of rude and uncivilized people.

Salaries have risen, and these guys have naturally squandered lavishly, and the taverns, casinos, brothels, and other businesses near the docks have also more than doubled compared to other months.

At the edge of the wharf, close to the river, a not-so-high-grade inn is brightly lit and full of people.

Dressed in fancy clothes, the warblers haunted the inn, and there were calls, laughter, and scolding from men and women everywhere.

The pub supporting the inn is even more lively.

At the long wooden tables, men in rough clothes waved huge wine glasses, shouted loudly, laughed, or sang unknown songs in strange tones.

On a wooden platform in the middle of the tavern, more than a dozen fiery dancers were dancing wildly. Every time they waved their huge skirts and kicked their long thighs, the whole tavern was filled with a howl of ghosts and wolves, and the rude men stood up one after another, drained the wine from their glasses, and then pounded the wooden table with their glasses.

Walking through the crowded tavern and pushing open a wooden door made of old ship's plank, the second entrance of the tavern is also lively.

There are more than a dozen large tables here, and groups of men with gold marks and silver fennigs in their arms are competing for luck, squandering money, and excreting excess energy in their bodies around the tables.

Prince Hydrderabad, the crown prince of the Delenn Empire, and Ferdinand von Hydrerabad, who held several noble titles, were sitting at a wooden table, grinning at the three cards in their hands.

His hair was messily draped over his head, and his face had a greasy sheen that would have been visible only after several days of not washing his face.

He wore a formal suit with crumpled lapels and a balling, dirty velvet dressing gown...... At first glance, he looks completely like the owner of a small pawnshop that secretly opens his doors and specializes in collecting stolen goods from thieves.

Two women over forty years old, with exaggerated eyeshadows and mouths painted as if they had just drunk chicken blood, sat next to Ferdinand on the left and right, screaming in high spirits.

"I'm going to win this one...... Ha ha...... I'm going to win...... Merciful Mutesthe, oh, I love you to death...... Raise, I'm going to raise......"

Ferdinand's old face contorted, screaming hoarsely, and reaching for the pocket of his large dressing gown.

After a moment's hesitation, Ferdinand took out two gold marks and slapped them heavily in front of him.

"Two Golden Marks...... You damn bastards...... Raise if there's a kind, haha, raise if there's a kind! ”

Ferdinand roared wildly and screamed with excitement.

On his shiny nose, a drop of sweat seeped out, slowly, little by little, and hung dangerously on his nose. The glittering sweat reflected off the light, making him look rather funny.

Most of the men sitting around the wooden table were a little hesitant, two gold marks were a lot of money for them.

There were also a few men who had already gambled with red eyes and roared, and without hesitation, they took out the last bit of money in their pockets and slapped it heavily on the wooden table.

The dealer standing at the table, holding a handful of cards in his hand, had a blank face and dealt a round of cards to the table......

After a short while, Ferdinand threw the cards on the ground in a fit of rage, jumped up and stomped on them several times.

He greeted the dealer with the cards loudly and in the most filthy market foul language, and angrily pulled the two women to the small door in the corner of the casino.

The two women swayed their waists with a smile, wrapped their arms around Ferdinand's arms tightly, and followed him through the small door.

A quarter of an hour later, the door reopened, and Ferdinand ran out of it in a state of confusion. Two disheveled women followed him closely, waving sharp claws and scratching at his head.

"Damn old bastard...... Give money, give money......"

"You go and ask, can I Lilia play for nothing?"

"Come on, come on, there's an old bastard who pretends to be a rich man and doesn't give money after playing-woman-man!"

"Catch him, catch him...... Hit him, hit him! ”

A group of rough men who had gambled so darkly that they had forgotten themselves shouted and cursed, and several sailors who had lost all their lives and were in a state of anger jumped up and rushed towards Ferdinand with their fists.

Several of the Hydra guards, who were also dressed in crude costumes and had been standing in the corner, had gloomy faces, with expressions that were worse than death, and exuded a cold air all over their bodies, and quickly passed through the crowd and blocked Ferdinand's face.

The sailors swung their fists and slammed them into the faces of the Hydra guards.

The Hydra guards raised their hands and parried the sailors' fists in embarrassment...... One by one, the terrifying existences of the Extraordinary Sixth Order were beaten by these sailors who had not even opened up the most basic sea of power.

"Ha, brothers, cover ...... I, I'll retreat first! Ferdinand squeezed the faces of the two women who were chasing him, and then crawled with a roll...... It really crawled under the legs of a few sailors who jumped up and beat people, and fled towards the gate of the casino in embarrassment!

Outside the inn, Joe and his team had arrived.

The two soldiers of the full regiment who accompanied them had already surrounded the entire inn along the streets and alleys near the inn.
