That night, a man and a woman entered the city with the flow of people.

According to the people who live here, the atmosphere in the city of Giorno today is much more serious than any other day in the past.

Because it's early this morning.

The seven magistrates under the ruler Baprorol, the top of the cultist warlock organization, are also one of the seven original canon holders.

He was shot and killed outside the city by unknown people, and his bones were gone.

It's happening the same thing in other parts of the world, and now the whole city should go into martial law mode and close all access to and out.

But the way the cultists are managed is not very understandable.

After only one afternoon of rigorous investigation, after the internal trial and arrest of several spell casters, the operation of the city quickly returned to normal, and I heard that even the new candidates for administrative officials had passed the internal review.

And in this kind of inquiry, before the curfew of Giorno City began, Ronald and Patricia found the inn where they would spend the night.

In all fairness, Ronald certainly wanted to find Heloise right away.

But think about everything that's happening today......

They killed one of the Cultists' magistrates in the morning, and in the evening they defied the curfew to find Heloise. Even if you have a strong strength as a confidence, this is a bit excessive.

In the hotel, Patricia placed a lit oil lamp in front of Ronald:

"Ronald, how do you feel?"

Right at the table, Ronald was contemplating and casting a reconnaissance spell.

At this moment Patricia opened her mouth to ask, and he shook his head with a frown:

"No, it's hard to lock down the location with spells alone."

"If it were in an ordinary country, a city of this size, I would have spent two days carefully to screen out the specific situation."

"But the inhabitants of the city ...... To be honest, almost every single one of them is making my job harder, and it's definitely not something that can be done in a short period of time. ”

After saying what he had just discovered, Ronald reached out and grabbed his hair in annoyance.

According to previous investigations, Heloise should be in the city by now.

But for this reason, Ronald couldn't get her back to his side right away. The troubles caused by this situation are really helpless and uncomfortable.

The quickest way to get Heloise back now is to follow the original plan, step by step.

And seeing Ronald's irritated look, Patricia stepped forward and gently reached out and rubbed Ronald's messy hair:

"Ronald, it's not bad right now."

"Knowing that she is a businessman, it shouldn't be too difficult to find."

As Patricia said.

Heloise returns to her old job and becomes a businessman.

According to the information obtained from Noella, she is now hiding in the city, selling tobacco in an obscure shop.

"Thanks, I'm a little anxious." Ronald thanked Patricia and then reviewed it himself, "This kind of thing really can't be rushed, especially when it's already at this level. ”

Patricia nodded lightly at Ronald before she sat down next to the table:

"But then again, Ronald, don't you think this city is too weird?"

"Even if it's ruled by a cult warlock, there's no reason why the entire city can be turned into such a ......maverick' character in a few months, right?"

Faced with such a problem, Ronald was unsure:

"The speed of change in people's hearts has always been unpredictable. And under the rule of the cultists...... Ordinary people have seen terrible evil arts, have been affected by evil spells, and even yearn for this transcendent power themselves. ”

"What will happen in this backward land is impossible to guess."

Patricia also nodded:

"Cultists run a country, and this kind of thing has never happened before. Anyway, let's be cautious in the future, after all, we have already ...... the original canon holder."

Patricia's voice gradually decreased.

Because right in front of her, Ronald's eyes sharpened.

"Ronald, what's wrong?"

Ronald pointed out the door:

"Someone from downstairs came up for us, and they came with greed."

Bang Bang

Just two breaths after Ronald opened his mouth to remind.

A rhythmic knock sounded at the door.

"Who?" Ronald asked, holding back his tone.

"Sir, you shouldn't have rested yet, have you?" A mature man's voice rang out from outside, "Can you open the door?" I've got some nice stuff here, and I'd like to show you a guest like you. ”

“……”

Ronald and Patricia looked at each other.

At this distance, neither of them could sense the slightest fluctuation in each other, in other words—it was an ordinary person knocking on the door of a guest staying at a hotel on a big night.

- Strange behavior?

Ronald was confused, but got up and went over to open the door.

Then, a man in an earthy yellow coat squeezed into the room and immediately put on a smiling face for Ronald and the others:

"Both, I'm Crowber, an officially recognized slave trader in the city of Giorno. Today, I heard that a distinguished guest is coming, so I came here to talk to you. ”

Slave traders? Guest?

The man who called himself Clauber didn't talk much, but just a few words also brought a lot of doubts to Ronald.

"We should have no plans to buy slaves."

"And what is the matter with the distinguished guest in your mouth?"

On the surface, Ronald asked questions in a normal tone, but in fact, the magic was already condensed at his fingertips. Whenever this guy says anything wrong, he's ready to take it down immediately!

And in front of Ronald, the slave trader continued to say with courtesy:

"Sir, that's all you don't know."

"Newcomers to Giorno are entitled to a special official subsidy for the slave trade. You may not have been interested in slavery in the past, but now that you've come to such an interesting city, you might as well check it out. ”

Hearing this, Ronald suddenly realized:

"So for the sake of this subsidy, you always keep an eye out for new strangers entering the city, and then come to the door to discuss?"

"You're such a smart guy!" The slave trader immediately offered a word of praise, "So there is such a great opportunity to make money, will you let her escape?" ”

"I don't want to, and I don't plan to ......" Ronald immediately wanted to dismiss the greedy slave trader because of his disgust with the word slave.

But Patricia and Ronald are different.

She immediately stopped Ronald, and then suggested in an accentuated tone:

"Brad, don't worry."

"Since he's a 'businessman', maybe we can talk to him?"
