By questioning passers-by, Xu Shuo and Lilian quickly found the local adventurer's guild residence in River City, but it was not so simple to enter the guild.

At the door of the guild, there was a guild clerk who specialized in checking documents, Xu Shuo observed outside the door and found that if a person without relevant documents wanted to enter the guild, he had to register as a visitor and pass the amethystum card test.

This cumbersome procedure is clearly designed to keep certain people out – such as thieves.

"What should I do, Mr. Xu Shuo, shall I go in alone?" Liliam asked.

Xu Shuo nodded.

"Well, your words shouldn't be stopped."

"But what should I ask?"

"Well." Xu Shuo thought for a moment, "It's still uncertain that the man named Sakida is working in this city, and I think if you ask Sakida directly, the guild will probably refuse to answer on the grounds of protecting the privacy of members......

"What then?"

"So, you pretend that you are a distant cousin of Sakita, and you came to Sakida from Hokuto Town, but you can't find where Sakita's home is, and you ask them if Sakida works in this guild, and if they say yes, you ask Sakita's address, and then whether they tell you or not, you ask about the guy who owes Sakida money, which is ......"

Xu Shuo couldn't remember the name, so he took out the IOU he had found from Sakida and looked at it.

"Agu, you just said that Agu is an acquaintance of you and Sakita, and ask them if they know Agu's whereabouts."

"Ask for the address first, and then ask Agu......" Lilian wrenched her fingers to memorize Xu Shuo's words one by one, and then asked as if she remembered something, "Before that, should I ask about the whereabouts of the Blood Moon Clan?" After all, our original purpose was to find the whereabouts of the Blood Moon Clan, maybe the Adventurer Guild happened to know about it and told us directly, then the problem would be solved directly, right? ”

Xu Shuo shook his head.

"Now the survivors of the Blood Moon Clan should be hiding, ask them, they probably don't know, and if you think about it carefully, the person who died is a member of the Adventurer's Guild, so if the people of the Blood Moon Clan killed him, does it mean that the Blood Moon Clan and the Adventurer's Guild are hostile? Now that this point is not clear, if you rashly ask about the whereabouts of the Blood Moon Clan, not only will you not get an answer, but you will also cause big trouble. ”

"I see, I see!" Lilien suddenly realized, showing a somewhat frightened expression, "I originally wanted to ask directly, but fortunately, I asked Mr. Xu Shuo first." ”

"It's okay, it's good to be cautious, but don't be too nervous and behave naturally when you go in." Xu Shuo said.

"Mr. Xu Shuo, I get nervous when you say this......"

“…… I'm sorry. ”

Liliam took a few deep breaths and patted her chest again, as if she was mentally prepared, and her expression was much more determined. She turned her head to Xu Shuo and said, "Then I'll go." ”

Xu Shuo nodded, and watched Lilian walk to the door of the guild and talk to the staff in charge of checking the documents, and then register and enter smoothly.

As the minutes ticked by, while waiting for Lilian to come out, Xu Shuo smelled an aroma from across the street, which seemed to come from the Bounty Hunter Guild that was open opposite the Adventurer's Guild.

Is it a bounty hunter's tradition to have a side hustle and drink? Xu Shuo remembered the scene when he walked into the Hunters' Guild for the first time after coming to this world, when President Mei was sitting in the shop eating noodles, handsome and charming.

I don't know what happened to President Mei now, when President Mei invited him to go to the Iron Capital together, but he had to come to the Principality of Chess, and the Capital of Iron was in the east, and the Principality of Chess was in the west, so in the end he only parted ways.

(Speaking of which, she lost an arm for Liliam and me, and there must have been a lot of inconvenience along the way...... I hope she's all right. ）

When Xu Shuo was full of thoughts, the crowd around him suddenly became noisy—it was noisy, but it was better to say that they suddenly began to whisper, as if an invisible hand was caressing the street, lowering everyone's volume.

Xu Shuo raised his head and saw four men and women side by side, wearing black uniforms and red armbands on their arms, two women standing in front, two men following behind, all four of them had cold faces, straight postures, and there seemed to be an invisible wind wall around them.

The four of them walked on the road like lions passing through a flock of sheep, and no one dared to stop them.

Xu Shuo noticed that he was standing on the path of the four of them, and remembered that Toshio had said that when he saw a person in a black uniform on the road, he could avoid it, and if he couldn't avoid it, don't look at each other.

He looked at the crowd around him, and he didn't know where to squeeze to avoid it, so he simply took a step back, lowered his eyes and stood against the wall, which could be regarded as making his debut.

The boots on the feet of the four people seemed to have hard soles, and every step made a crisp clicking sound, as the sound got closer and closer, the black hem of the woman in charge came into view, Xu Shuo couldn't help but be curious, he raised his eyes slightly, wanting to see what the so-called pickets were like.

It's okay not to look at it, but when he looked up, he found that the woman in the lead was also squinting at him, and his eyes met at once.

Xu Shuo hurriedly looked at the ground, but it was too late, and the clicking sound was no longer heard.

The four of them stopped in front of Xu Shuo.

"You, take out your ID."

Xu Shuo raised his head slowly, this time he saw the woman's appearance clearly, but the neat short black hair on the chin, the thin eyebrows like willow leaves, the bridge of the nose was slightly straight, the eyes were filled with unstoppable arrogance, there was a striking black mole at the corner of the mouth, and although the face was not bad, it was not the kind that would make people feel familiar.

The surrounding passers-by slowed down, and those who stood far away also pulled their necks, all looking like they were watching a play.

Xu Shuo wasn't very panicked, if he had just come to the other world a month ago, his legs would probably be shaking, but now he just stretched his hand into his pocket expressionlessly and began to grope for it.

The four people on the opposite side thought he was looking for identity documents, but they didn't react at first until they saw Xu Shuo pull out a short knife.

Before the four of them could react, Xu Shuo casually threw the short knife into the air.

"What are you doing?!" The short-haired woman shook her sleeves, and a sharp thorn appeared in her hand, and the tip of the thorn reached Xu Shuo's neck.

The other three were half a beat slower, but they also quickly showed their weapons at Xu Shuo.

Xu Shuo was pressed against his neck and forced to raise his head, but he still behaved calmly.

"Don't get excited, sir, I just don't want to increase your workload."

"What do you mean?!" The short-haired woman asked.

"That's what I mean." Xu Shuo snapped his fingers with a smile.

The short-haired woman noticed that something was wrong, and flipped her wrist to stab forward, but when she reacted, she found that she had only left a hole in the wall, and the young man just now had disappeared in front of her eyes.
