Ankka and the captain arrive at a hidden underground structure near the Black Tower and are shown to sit on a chair and rest.

He sat at the end of the table and faced Ankka, who noticed that his surroundings were starting to become quiet.

The other party was the first to speak: "I actually don't want to investigate there, after all, the knights and the bishops know what is there, and it is also a place where many officials have fun. ”

Ankha responded: "So this matter is over?" ”

After struggling for a while, the other party said, "No, since the Holy Maiden wants to be purified there, then we paladins should carry out her will. ”

Ankha asked, "So what do we do?" It's not okay to catch them directly, or catch a few of them first and let them dog-eat dog and let them tell the information themselves. ”

The other party shook his head and said: "If we don't have full evidence, it is easy to arrest people directly, and it is easy to be startled and fall into passivity, we should collect evidence of what they went there to do, so that they can have nothing to say when the time comes." ”

After that, he walked around the table to Anka, handed Anka a list and said, "This is the information of all the dignitaries in this city, I hope you can help us collect evidence of their violations, and we will also send a large number of Holy Eyes to investigate them and help you." ”

"And I'm going to clean up the internal problems of the Holy Knights, of course! It is certainly good for you to help the Holy Maiden. ”

"I don't know what weapon you like."

Ankh quickly responded: "It's good to be hidden." ”

After that, the opponent uses runestone to summon a chest, and takes out a sword hilt and scabbard made of gold, wrapped in leather made of dragon skin, and decorated with rubies.

Ankka held the dagger in his hand and weighed it up and down, feeling that the weight was just right.

"This is made by the best craftsmen of the Holy Knights, and it was originally for the Holy Maiden, but she didn't like it, so she kept it there, I don't know if you use it smoothly."

Ankh responded, "I feel like it's okay, but the scabbard and hilt on the outside seem a little too flashy." ”

Before leaving, the captain gave Ankka a runestone to communicate with.

Ankka took it and thanked him and left.

Ankka looked at the information sheet in his hand and was glad that he knew most of the words on it, and he could know the specific situation just by guessing.

As he spoke, Anka's gaze fell on the first line: "De Lancey, vice president of the Santa Seca Chamber of Commerce, currently lives at No. 13 Shengyan Road in the north of the city, but unfortunately I don't know the rest of the things, but it should be enough to know these." ”

Ankha stopped a carriage and said to the groom, "Please take me to the Sacred Word Road." ”

On the way, the groom's words never stopped, until the groom asked, "You must be a noble lord who lives there!" Can you give me some tips later? ”

Ankh asked, "Why do you think I'm a nobleman?" ”

The groom said, "How can ordinary people come and go in those towers at will! And you don't look like an aristocrat in what you're wearing. ”

"Really?"

Ankh was about to see the path of the Sacred Word when the groom suddenly said, "Alas, what a change! I don't think there was such a large scale or so much prosperity here, thanks to the Holy Maiden! ”

Ankh asked, "Did the Holy Maiden do anything?" ”

"Before the Holy Maiden was found by the Bishop," said the groom, "there was a great outbreak of plague and famine in our place, ah! Everyone thought that they would not be able to live, but everything changed after the Holy Maiden came, and those who saw the light of the Holy Maiden were cured of all pain and diseases, and the plants touched by the Holy Maiden would grow very luxuriantly in an instant, and only in one year the plague and famine in our place were completely gone, and we were still the place where the most food was produced in the whole of Santa Seca. ”

"Eh, it's here!"

Ankh jumped down and gave a tip of ten copper coins after giving the regular price.

The groom waved his hand again and again, "No need for so much, noble lord. ”

"I'm very interested in the previous story you said, tell me more about what you know next time!"

With that, Ankka turned to leave, and the groom galloped away after making sure that Ankka wouldn't suddenly turn around and ask for the money back.

At the end of the road, Anka found De Lancey's dwellings in front of a large iron gate, a huge building that did not fit in with its surroundings, a five-story western-style building surrounded by four gardens.

Ankh had a plan when he saw the message posted in front of the door to recruit bodyguards, and Ankh saw a luxurious carriage coming from afar and stabbed himself with his short sword.

Delancey saw Ankha lying in front of his house and asked, "Get rid of it!" Don't stain my door. ”

And when the butler stepped forward to try to drive Ankka away, he found the adventurer's gold medal that Ankka had deliberately exposed, and the butler looked at it and said to Delancey: "My lord, this is a gold medal adventurer, maybe he is here to apply for a bodyguard." ”

"Then how can it hurt?"

"It must be something hidden! It's better to take him to the house and wait for him to wake up and ask, after all, gold medals are hard to find. ”

"Okay."

Ankha lay on the bed for ten minutes after being taken to the house, and began to scream slowly, pretending to wake up.

De Lancey stood aside and asked impatiently, "Are you a gold medal adventurer?" Who injured you? ”

Ankha responded: "I was originally working for the Holy Maiden, but I saw your job posting and wanted to change jobs, but those paladins plotted against me. ”

Delancey asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Anka!"

Delancey thought to himself, "Anka? I've heard that I've been in and out of the tower a lot lately, but it seems that I've fallen out with the Holy Maiden, and it looks like I can use him as a pawn at a critical time. ”

Delancey said, "Seeing that you have offended the paladin, then you can stay and do things for me in the future!" Don't worry, I will definitely give more than her, so you can rest well! Tomorrow the butler will come and call you. ”

Ankha nodded and said, "Thank you." ”

Anka thought to herself: "It's so good to get in, although it hurts a little but it's still worth it, saying and doing it like this should make her let her down her guard against me quickly!" ”

The next day, the butler handed Ankka a suit of leather armor and a sword that looked like it had been used many times.

The butler said, "Haven't you eaten yet?" Come here! ”

Ankka followed the butler to the basement level, where he found eight large tables surrounded by servants waiting to eat.

After a while, the food came, and the butler brought a few servants with a few large buckets and put them on the table, and those servants didn't even have dishes and chopsticks, so they went over and grabbed them with their hands and ate them, and some of them attacked other servants if they didn't grab them.

Anka climbed on the edge of the vat and looked inside, seeing that it was full of food scraps, and heard from the people around him that their food was what was left of the owner.

Ankka covered her nose and quickly ran away, whispering, "This kind of thing reminds me of the days when I used to be a slave in the Colosseum. ”

The butler shouted after shaking the bell twice, "After eating, go back to work." ”

Then the butler found Ankh and said, "Let's go!" ”

Ankh and the butler waited at the door of Delancey's room on the roof.

The housekeeper said, "The master is putting on makeup, and it will be fine in a while." ”

After waiting for an hour, Delancey slowly walked out, and as soon as the door opened, the strong smell of perfume on Delancey's body made Ankka take a few steps back.

De Lancey leaned in to Ankh and asked, "Am I pretty?" ”

Ankka held her breath and nodded vigorously.

Delancey asked again, "What about me and the saint?" ”

Ankha responded, "I, I haven't seen a saint before. ”

Delancey said: "Also, she has been wearing a veil, I'm afraid it's not ugly!" Hahaha. ”

The two then rode together in a horse-drawn carriage to an orphanage located on another street.

Fortunately, Anka could only sit outside and drive the carriage, Anka thought to herself: "It's good luck, I might faint directly from sitting with her with such a strong smell." ”

After the two arrived at the orphanage, Delancey changed his previous appearance, and Delancey smiled and hugged the children.

"Sister Delancey, I've recently learned how to cut paper!"

A girl handed Delancey her cutout, and Delancey took it, smiling, stroking her head, and praising it.

Then Delancey clapped his hands and the children all sat down around him, and then the butler took a large chest from another carriage and opened it to see that it was full of precious desserts and drinks.

After receiving this, the children prayed and thanked Delancey before eating.

Ankka thought strangely, "Strange, why is she so partial to these orphans, those foods are so delicious." ”

Then the old woman in the room came out, bowed to her, and said, "I'm really sorry for you, I'm already like this, and I don't know what I would have done with these children if it weren't for you." ”

Delancey stepped forward to help the old man up and said, "It's okay, I'm glad just to see these children." ”

While the two were greeting, Ankka secretly stepped aside, took out the communication rune stone, and talked to the captain.

"De Lancey has come to the orphanage on North Street of Shengyan Road, you asked some people to come to Qiao Zhuang and dress up as adoptives to take away some children and try to know something from their mouths, and ah! The food Delancey gives these kids is also strange, and you'd better look into it. ”

After seeing Delancey come out of the house, Ankh also quickly returned to the carriage and stood by.

The butler stepped forward and whispered to Delancey, and then Delancey said, "Tsk, trouble." ”

Later, after saying goodbye to the children in Delancey, the group left in a carriage, but instead of returning directly to the mansion, they went to another mansion at the end of the Redemption Road to the south.

Delancey said, "The one named Ankka and I will go up." ”

Ankh began to think that he had been exposed after seeing the other party regain his initial indifferent and ugly expression, and after suppressing his urge to rush directly to deal with her, he went to the top floor with her.

After Delancey walked into a room and left Ankka in the doorway, Ankka noticed a few other bodyguards standing around, in addition to a large number of soldiers surrounding the staircase and various doorways.

Ankka pretended to be relaxed and leaned against the wall and crossed his hands to try to secretly use the runestone that was in his breast pocket.

As a result, Ankka found that the rune stone could not be used, and Ankka opened his eyes to find that the bodyguards seemed to have attracted attention because of the behavior of constantly touching his chest with his hands, and Ankka became nervous.
