After Ebner came out of the café, he first went to the police station in Jowood District and vaguely informed Sheriff Fasin that Dr. Leonardo's involvement in the extraordinary incident had been handed over to a professional to deal with.

The sheriff frowned at this, revealing a worried expression. He was not worried about the doctor's safety, but about his wife and unborn child.

Fortunately, Abner's visit this time brought him a solution.

Upon hearing that there was a pharmacist who might be able to help him, Sheriff Fasin was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

Abner hesitated for a moment, then admonished, "It's just...... The pharmacist's words were a little unpleasant...... You have to bear a little more. "Don't get caught in a fit of rage.

"Doesn't sound good?" Sheriff Fasin asked curiously.

"You know how Edith usually talks to people, right? This pharmacist's words are even more than twice as much as Edith's! Abner commented with some embarrassment.

Sheriff Fasin also opened his mouth in shock when he heard this, can he not know what virtues his son has? That's what makes you angry with every word...... Now this pharmacist sounds even more excessive than his son...... Is it dangerous for Martha to go there for medical treatment?

However, the sheriff had no choice at this time, and after thanking Abner again for the reminder, he also reciprocated and gave him a handwritten pass. Holders of a pass will have access to some of the Joewood District Police Department's low-level files, as well as free access to the police station's underground shooting range.

Abner was a little pleased with this, and after saying goodbye to the sheriff, he went directly to the police station's archives to check the information.

Judging from the various files, the law and order in the Joe Wood district is much better than that of the bridge district, and it is a number of routine cases.

Abner looked at it all morning and found only one thing that was slightly worth his attention:

The Grant clothing store was bought by a company in the factory area and is being remodeled. Many workers were digging deep foundations in the store, and the noise was so loud that the surrounding neighbors were disturbed, so they called the police.

It seemed like a normal event, but Abner had a vague feeling that something wasn't right.

It's not that he hasn't been to Jane's clothing store, it's already a three-story building, and even if it's rebuilt, there's no need to dig deep into the foundation, unless you want to build a building...... But with one or two storeys of houses all around, build a high-rise building...... It's hard to get approved.

After all, it is already difficult for Beckland to see the sun, and if there are high-rise buildings in the residential area, are the neighboring homes afraid that they will march in protest? Most of the people who can live in the Joe Wood District are middle-class, and the energy of unity is not small.

"I'm afraid I'm using construction as a cover, and I want to find something underneath Jane's house, right? This may be one of the reasons why the Grant family is valued by so many big people......" Abner was speculating in his heart, and he was thinking about whether to investigate after the party in the evening, but his mind moved, and he thought of another possibility:

"The demigod aura was only triggered in the Grant clothing store last month, and Jane's whereabouts are unknown, so it stands to reason that she should still be under the surveillance of the Storm Church at this time, right? In this way, these diggers are either sent by the Storm Church, or the substitutes are waiting for the results to come out and close the net......"

With this in mind, Abner turned his attention to the name of the factory district company that bought Grant's clothing store: Vincennes Labor & Services.

Quietly checking the Grant clothing store may fall into the sight of the Storm Church, but it shouldn't be a big problem to secretly check this company, after all, this is a labor and service company, and you know that there should be a lot of customers and various employees by name, and most of them have gangster backgrounds, which is difficult to be fully monitored...... Moreover, both partners and competitors may secretly investigate its background and act unobtrusively.

After thinking about it in his heart, Abner felt that as long as he acted cautiously, there should be no danger, and secretly decided to wait until tomorrow when he met Hugh to help collect information about the company. She has contacts in the East District, the dock area, and the factory area, so it shouldn't be a problem to get some superficial information.

"Hopefully, this survey will give me some glimpse into the rules of the 'Knowers'...... I hope Jane doesn't have any coveted secrets......"

……

"No!" Lina screamed and woke up from her nightmare.

She was at first a little dazed, but then remembered that after realizing that she had been drugged, she was looking for an opportunity to escape while making a false accusation with the disgusting Lieutenant Bernard.

Eventually, she jumped out of the window while the other party got carried away and crashed into a carriage on the way...... And she recognized the coat of arms on the carriage.

A sword with a straight downward semblance and a red crown on the hilt.

"The 'Sword of Judgment' of House Augustus. I was actually saved by a member of the royal family? Lina thought back to the last scene she saw before she fell unconscious, and guessed in her heart.

She got out of bed, looked around, and suddenly found that this room was somewhat familiar, so she hurriedly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out.

A large lawn and elaborate statues stand around it, and a little further away a river flows around the hills covered with vegetation and joins a large artificial lake.

The breeze blows, and the water ripples, bringing ripples, and also bringing up the waves of Lina's memory.

"Red Rose Manor......" she muttered to herself.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, and Lina came back to her senses and habitually said, "Please come in." Then I saw a familiar figure walking in with a butler and a guard.

"Edsak?" Lina looked at this young and energetic face and said subconsciously.

Prince Edsak raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Madam, you really know me. ”

Lina looked at the prince with a somewhat tangled expression, not knowing how to speak.

Prince Edsak saw that the other party's expression was a little strange, and he wondered, but after hesitating for a moment, he still asked: "Madam, take the liberty of asking, are you the illegitimate daughter of the Count of Lorena?" ”

After speaking, he saw the other party's eyes widen in surprise, and quickly explained: "Madam, don't get me wrong, I didn't dig into your identity. It's just that you look a lot like my former friend Leland, even more like him than Leland's two own sisters. ”

"Leland disappeared three years ago, and I sent a lot of people to look for him, but they couldn't find him...... The Count of Lorena had a strange attitude towards his disappearance, as if he had only been absent...... So when I saw you before, I thought you might have a clue to this, maybe you could use it to find out my friend's whereabouts. ”

The prince spoke plainly, but the worry revealed in his tone was genuine, and Lina's body trembled a little when she heard it. Her face then showed hesitation, fear, struggle, resentment and many other emotions, and finally sighed, and the whole person seemed to be much more relaxed.

She froze, looked at the prince who had been waiting, and said with some complications: "Edsak...... I didn't expect that when my father and brother had already given up on me, you would still be able to think about me and worry about me...... Hehe, of course you think I look similar to Leland right now...... Because I'm Leland Lorena! ”

Prince Edsak had seen Lina's face change before, and thought that this girl would tell him some private secrets about the Count of Lorena, but who would have heard such a more exciting news.

He looked at Lina dumbfounded, and then said, "This can't be...... I've had a doctor and a maid check on you before, and you're a real girl! ”

Lina smiled sadly, bowed her head and said, "Because I drank the 'Assassin' potion under my father's arrangement, and this potion sequence is the path of the 'witch'!" With that, she told some things about the past that only she and the prince knew, in order to win the trust of each other.

"Witch...... What do you mean? Prince Edsak was even more surprised, incredulous.

"That's what you think, sequence 7 of this sequence is called 'witch', and it will make people really female." Lina turned her head, not wanting to see the disdain and disgust in her friend's eyes.

However, Prince Edsak did not have any bad opinion of Lina because of this, he frowned and asked puzzledly, "Why did Count Lorena make you a 'witch'?" ”

"I don't know exactly...... But as you should be able to guess, my father was a court count and absolutely loyal to the royal family. And the 'witches' are almost all under the control of the 'witch sect'...... I'm supposed to be just a way for them to test each other before they make contact. Of course, it could also be a bargaining chip involving some trading. Lina replied as she walked to the window and looked at the picturesque scenery outside.

"......I see," Prince Edsak's pupils narrowed at the hearing, and he walked around the room a few times with a serious face, and then his brow gradually relaxed, as if he had understood something.

However, the prince did not continue on this sensitive and dangerous topic, and instead asked, "Woman...... No, Leland, what did you encounter today, how did you get drugged? ”

This question made Delina a little embarrassed and a little embarrassed, and she said angrily: "What else can it be?" My boss in the Witch Cult, a newly promoted 'Witch of Pain', wanted to send me to Lieutenant Bernard on MI9...... I could accept that I would become a woman, but I didn't have the slightest idea of doing that with a man! ”

"MI9...... It seems that some people from the military are involved. Prince Edsak just sighed, suddenly thought of something, his expression changed, and he said hurriedly: "That lieutenant should have seen you get into my carriage, and you are a 'witch'...... Leland, you're not safe with me, I'm afraid it won't be long before the military's extraordinaires come to the door! ”

Lina also reacted at this time, as a former nobleman, she naturally knew that although the prince had a noble status, he had no autonomy in many things. Therefore, her expression also became resolute, and she said, "I'll leave now!" ”

Prince Edsak thought for a moment, asked the maid to fetch a few more inconspicuous clothes and handed them to Lina, and said, "I will have someone arrange for you to leave through the secret passages of the manor." At this time, it is estimated that there are already people watching outside. ”

"Thank you...... Edsak. Lina was very touched to hear this, she really didn't expect her former friend to treat her like this after knowing the truth.

"You're welcome, Lelander. We're good friends! "Prince Edsak said that this is also a little embarrassing, he was originally an iron buddy, what is it now? Her boyfriend?

Lina was about to leave under the guidance of the servant after a brief change of clothes, but at that moment she suddenly turned her head and said earnestly to Prince Edsak:

"Edsak, before leaving, I'll give you two pieces of advice."

"First, all witches are full of blood. No matter how pure and lovely the appearance is, the heart has long been polluted. ”

"Second, the witches of the Witch Sect...... With a few exceptions, before becoming a 'witch', they were all men! ”
