Chapter Seventy-One

"Brooklyn?"

"Yes, that's my name. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

"So, who wants us to help?"

Natsuki, who said this, motioned to Fidelia, who wanted to refuse out loud, and told her to shut up.

Brooklyn smiled. That's probably because Natsuhime accepted her request, and the true emotions were revealed.

"What I'm asking you to do, it might be a bit of a hassle. ā€

Brooklyn's words became serious, and there was no longer a trace of contempt.

"Actually, I received information that a Jiangyang thief is in this city. ā€

"Thief?"

How did such a character appear at this juncture, does it have anything to do with the resurgence of the dragon?

Unaware that Natsuki's thoughts had drifted into the distance, Brooklyn continued to recount what he knew, obviously he still trusted the silver-haired girl and her companions, although this was only their first meeting, but Brooklyn should have seen the quality of trust from Natsuki.

"According to the information I have gathered, this Jiangyang thief should be the one who receives demonic powers, that is, a person who can use magic, and I don't think I can deal with him with my strength alone. ā€

"Is there any information on the thief's purpose in this city?"

Brooklyn sighed.

"No, that's the most important thing, we don't know what he's doing here, we just know that he's already in the city. ā€

"So why are you going after him, or what is your identity?"

"I guess I think that's my mission, the mission to protect this city, and as for my identity, you can call me a warrior, after all, we're also a new group, and we haven't even thought of a name. ā€

The man shifted back to his original topic.

"So, would you like to help?"

Xia Ji's mind flashed a lot of thoughts, given that they didn't have any clue now, although they only needed to simply confirm whether the Dragon King had recovered, but because many forces wanted to obtain the power of the Dragon King in the process, Xia Ji made up her mind to take this opportunity to kill them all. And this big thief may be a breakthrough in tracking down these forces.

"I'm willing to help. ā€

Brooklyn nodded in satisfaction when she saw that Natsuki had agreed to her request, and suddenly changed her expression as if she remembered something.

"By the way, there's one more thing. ā€

"What's the matter?"

"Have you ever seen a group of warriors led by bald warriors?"

"Huh?"

Suddenly, the familiar description made Natsuhime frown.

"What did you just say?"

There was a slight waver in Natsuki's tone, but Brooklyn didn't notice.

"My men, led by a bald warrior named Wells, I assigned them the task of finding another missing subordinate, and they couldn't find their shadows. ā€

The sheer amount of information that came out of Brooklyn's words gave Natsuki a bit of a headache.

"In fact, it is exactly like this, we were originally going to split up to investigate the Jiangyang thief, but one of my subordinates, Scarlett, suddenly lost contact during the investigation, so I assigned Wells and them the task of finding Scarlett, and I continued to search for clues about the thief, what's wrong? ā€

After hearing Brooklyn's words, Xia Ji's face turned blue and white for a while, but when she realized that this might be a breakthrough in the relationship, she immediately returned to her original state.

"Ah, sorry, I was a little distracted. ā€

Natsuhime, who had just recovered from a trance, shook her head.

"If it's them, I've met them, but,"

Brooklyn looked puzzled.

"Just what?"

"There was a little misunderstanding. ā€

Natsuki felt that she should still talk directly about her relationship with those warriors.

"Hahahaha. ā€

After listening to Natsugie's account of her entanglement with Wells, Brooklyn burst out laughing.

"I'm really sorry, Miss Natsuhime, it's my fault for failing to educate my subordinates, but I really didn't expect them to be so extreme. ā€

Brooklyn, who had stopped laughing, straightened his attitude again.

"But judging from your current situation, and the fact that you've educated them well for me, you don't have any hostility towards them, do you?"

"That's what I said. ā€

"That's no problem, although our warriors have a rough temper, but they are not people who will hold grudges, the reason why they wanted to leave you in a tough way at that time was probably because of the disappearance of their companions and lost their minds, and when they calm down, they will reflect on their mistakes, I hope you can understand. ā€

"Eh, is that really the case?"

Brooklyn smiled and nodded.

"Yes, Wells is a grumpy man, but when he calms down, he won't do such a faux pas. ā€

Natsuki also accepted that fact.

"That's good, then again, managing this group of people must be tiring for you, right?"

"Haha, it's not too tiring, I'm used to it, in my eyes, they're like children. ā€

"I feel like you're working so hard. ā€

Natsuki sighed, but shifted the subject back in the next moment.

"So, what do we do now?"

"About this. ā€

Following Natsuji's meaning, Brooklyn took out something that shimmered in gold, a jeweled necklace encrusted with diamonds, which was shining in the sunlight at the moment.

"What is this?"

Natsuhime, who had been deprived of her sight by the dazzling jewels and admired it for a long time, asked again.

"The things that a certain noble lady has placed on me are said to be the prey of the great thief of the river. ā€

"So, we just have to keep something like this?"

"No, although it is true that holding such a thing can get access to the thief, but if this is the case, it will be too passive for us, and in my opinion, it is more cost-effective to take the initiative than to passively defend it. ā€

Natsuki fell into a brief silence, presumably wondering if Brooklyn's strategy would work.

"Don't take care of such a thing in a safe place, but take the initiative with it, I don't know if you should say that you are unscrupulous or daring. ā€

"Haha, I'll take your words as compliments, so what do you think? If you can come up with a better solution, we can't change the strategy. ā€

"I'm sorry, I couldn't come up with a better way, just do what you say, with your strength, it shouldn't be a problem to protect this jewelry necklace from the thief, right?"

"That's nature. ā€

It was doubtful whether Brooklyn's confident expression would match his own strength, but since he could be the boss of that warrior group, his strength naturally could not be ignored, although in Xia Ji's eyes, these warriors were completely insignificant.
