A car shop outside Beaune City.

Alex, disguised as an ordinary businessman, opened a note handed by his entourage and glanced at it a few times, then frowned lightly and shook his head slightly, "He's in charge...... What a nonsense ......."

He has been in Bona for more than a month.

Before embarking in the Emerald Port, Alex received news of Pompeii's disappearance, and on the first day of his arrival in the Port of Beaune, he learned that Otto had come to the Duchy of Ukulele the day before him to investigate the matter.

As a result, Alex's Nice party had to be postponed - he had to avoid meeting with Odo as much as possible in order to allow the necessary buffer zone until the conflict was resolved.

Fortunately, he came to the Principality of Ukulele for one more important matter, to find Ruiko's whereabouts.

After the half-elf girl disappeared from the East, Alex mobilized her family's forces in the Principality of Ukulele to search for her whereabouts, but ultimately found nothing.

In fact, there was no fanfare in that search, and the person who got the task only knew that the family was looking for a half-elf girl. This arrangement is precisely because Alex is worried about the repetition of the events on the East.

Now, now that he had arrived in Bona City and had been unexpectedly delayed, he certainly had enough reasons to do it himself.

For a month, Alex had been in the guise of an ordinary businessman, with Darkan and a few retinues, starting from the inns in Beaune and visiting from house to house.

Under the influence of money, each of the interviewees listened carefully to Darkan's description, but except for a few guys whose eyes flashed and were obviously nonsense for gold coins, most of them just shook their heads blankly.

After all the inns were eliminated, they turned their attention to restaurants, taverns, and markets for the rental and sale of horse-drawn carriages.

Finally, the hard work paid off, and a horse seller claimed that he was indeed half a year ago. I had seen the girl described by Darkan, and that she was with a young nobleman, but unfortunately after the two bought a horse from him, they disappeared.

Darkan listened to his description of the man who was traveling with him, and no longer had any doubts.

"My lord, that man is Miss Ricke's companion on board the Easter. His name is Bruce Wayne. He whispered in Alex's ear.

......

When Donner left the banquet early, Moen thought that the teacher was only devoted to research and did not want to waste time on unnecessary communication.

Only Rick could tell at a glance that he had something on his mind.

As soon as he returned to the institute, Donner approached Pino and told him not to leave for a long time, and the latter seemed to know why, and respectfully agreed.

Actually, there is no need for Donner to deliberately advise. Pino didn't dare to leave, and he hadn't set foot outside the institute since he was rescued by the strange mage.

When she got back to her room, she asked tentatively, "Got into trouble?"

"Hmm. Donner replied casually, and went into his little lab, where he didn't come out until late at night.

For days, he was like that, seemingly except for the research that was being done. He didn't care about anything, and even three meals a day were delivered to his room by a half-elf girl.

Until a few days later. Puyok himself came to the door, met with Donner alone, and left in silence.

This time, even Moen sensed something strange.

"What the hell is going on? is it Pompeii?" asked Reico, at last.

"Well," Donner didn't hide from her anymore, "Pujock wanted me to hand over Pino. I refused. ”

"Could it be...... You're going to keep Pinault locked up in the institute for the rest of your life?, and what if the Princh family storms in and arrests someone?" asked Ruiko anxiously.

"I've taken it on myself, and it has nothing to do with Pino. ”

"If you say it's irrelevant, it's irrelevant, they don't dare to do anything to you, they just stare at Pinault...... No, isn't it...... You're trying to admit that you killed Pompeii?" said Reico.

"We're going to disappear anyway. Donner said lightly.

"What about the Institute? You're not afraid that the Princh family's wrath will spread to the Institute?"

"The institute is in Moen. As long as he can configure, the 'Blessing of Patrick', the Medici family has more than enough reason to protect the institute. ”

"But ......"

"At most, there will be a month, and when the time comes, as long as I die, the face of the Princh family will be saved. ”

"I guess they won't have that much patience. ”

"I know," Donner pulled out a note, wrote a few quick lines, rolled it up and handed it to Ricke, "you help me get this to the Dorf Blacksmith in the north of Nice." ”

"Which old friend is this?" asked Rickle.

Donner smiled noncommittally: "You go now, be careful on the way, and bring your sword...... By the way, help me get Moen over. ”

Shortly after Rick left, Moen knocked on Donner's lab door.

"Master, you told me something?"

"Sit," Donner waited until Moen sat down before asking, "Do you know anything about Pompeii?"

"I know, word has spread in the city of Nice, saying that Young Master Pompey has been missing for almost two months. Moen replied honestly.

"The Princi family asked me to hand over Pino. ”

"That'......" Moen looked a little uneasy.

"If you had to decide, would you pay Pino or not?"

"Master, I, I'm ......"

Donner knew that Moen couldn't make a statement, so he didn't embarrass him anymore, "Puyok came here just now, and it was also for this matter. I've already refused, Pino I'm not going to hand it over. This is not done to protect the short, but because Pinault has done nothing wrong. Can you understand?"

Moen let out a soft "um".

"Now, you go and release the news that my 'Twin Divine Element' potion will be developed soon, and it is expected that the upper limit of the potion will reach the standard of a third-level magician. ”

"Master......" Moen said excitedly.

"There you go. Remember, no matter what happens, you can't stop what I'm telling you!"

Nice City, Princh Chamber of Commerce.

Otto looked gloomy, he had just received three messages, each of which had a faint hint of crisis.

His father, Manuda, was dissatisfied with his efficiency, and had already set out from the port of Cold Mountain to intervene in this matter himself, and it was expected that he would arrive in Nice in less than a month.

Otto's brother-in-law, the titular patriarch of the Medici family, Alex, had arrived in the Duchy of Ukulele a month earlier.

Kevin Bell has just issued a statement that his "Twin Divine Element" potion has been successfully developed and will be available for sale soon.

The angry father, the ambiguous Medici family, the unruly pharmacy genius, all of these will be gathered in this small city of Nice because of Pompeii's disappearance, and the crisis is imminent.

Otto felt that the situation was about to be out of his grasp.

In any case, he had to try again.

"Prepare, I'm going to the Medici Chamber of Commerce ......"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door, "Young Master, Master Pujok is here." (To be continued.) )
