Mr. and Mrs. Bryd are good neighbors and husband and wife.

They never get into arguments with others, are mild-mannered, compassionate, and have an enviable career.

Frankly, having such a neighbor in the bottom nest is like living next to a nobleman's house on the surface.

The old man said that the Brads disappeared after the birth of their child. He watched them buy baby items, tailor clothes, and prepare for the birth of the child, but after the birth, the Brads asked the old man to take care of the house for a while, and hurried away with the child in their arms.

"I watched them run out with their children wrapped in cloth and without looking back. I didn't know it was the last time we saw each other, but I didn't see them back in days...... You know, the treasure layer is not the same as the top, and the house that has been empty for too long will grow homeless, so I nailed the doors and windows with wooden planks......"

The old man sighed, as if he was reminiscing about his past.

"It's been so long, and they haven't come back. Noble people...... Do you see them? ”

Annan shook his head and said, "We are also looking for Mr. and Mrs. Bryde. ”

The old man looked at the rat-man girl who was crouching beside him, and stopped talking.

Let the earth elemental open the dusty door, and under the light of the illumination, you will see a mess of new and old footprints on the dust......

"There are a lot of thieves on the surface, right?" The old man said embarrassedly.

The room was lackluster, because of the small size, and because the burglars had removed everything of value. I don't know how they managed to sneak into the sealed house.

Annan thought that the world could not make detective movies, especially murder in a closed room.

The rest are things that are not worth taking with you, such as bed boards, dining tables, and cribs.

The crib that had not yet been used was worn by time, and Annan looked down at the little girl, who had no impression of the place.

"Spread out and search, what you can find counts." Annan had no hope.

Teophilus and the others were picking and choosing around the room, and Annan saw Alice casting a spell again, and then followed the instructions of the "maze technique" and pulled out a notebook from under the crib.

"Is the maze so useful?" Theophilus, who was lying on the ground looking for a cellar, looked up in confusion, "I want to learn too." ”

"You're not proficient in prophecy." Amy replied.

There was a thin layer of ash on the cover, and Alice wiped it and handed it to Annan, who was relieved when he opened it, and it was a lingua franca that he could understand. It doesn't matter if you can't read it, who would expect a warlock to be well-read?

It is a diary that chronicles the lives of the Brads, beginning with the conception of a child. The extended text has both the love of the mother and the tenderness of the father, who is looking forward to the day when the child grows day by day and is born.

Then it came to an abrupt end the day before birth.

Annan continued to flip through the blank diaries, expecting nothing new, but saw scribbled handwriting on the last few pages.

The little girl's parents actually came back.

[We're back...... There is no hope, there is no antidote at all...... It's all our fault, we shouldn't have escaped to the nest......]

[They call our daughter the rat man......]

[They say that the penal colony is the last hope...... They saw a recovered rat-man crawling out of there.]

[We hope that you will come back, and one day, you will come back here and see the letter we left for you......]

[Please forgive us, we can't grow up with you day by day like other people's parents, but our love for you has never diminished......]

[Mom's good boy, we love you......]

Half of the page had been soaked with water and had become wrinkled as it dried up.

The story of the little girl's family is sad.

Annan remembered that they had seen the wounded little girl by the rock pillar of the penal colony...... Maybe they're not that far from the Bleds?

"Can you still find her parents with a maze?" Annan asked Alice.

"I'll try."

Alice unleashes the labyrinth again, but this time there is no direction.

This usually means that the recipient is not on the primary plane. But for ordinary people there is only one answer: they are dead.

Annan squatted in front of the little girl and whispered softly: "This world is a magical world, and there are many wonderful things...... We'll find something that will restore your wisdom. ”

The little girl looked up at Annan with her cloudy eye mask hollow.

The good news is that little girls don't grieve, and the bad news is that little girls don't grieve.

There are less than two hours left until the end of the nest race.

Annan hurried up and let the elementals search the surroundings for the students, snatch their golden invitations and sell them, snatch their weapons and sell them, and snatch them and sell them.

For those who refused to pay the ransom even to death, Annan inadvertently showed the indifference of a superior - snatching their golden invitations and weapons and selling them to others.

They wandered around the treasure floor. I also went to see the garbage dump known locally as the "Golden Mountain", next to the deep pit incinerating site that leads to the ash layer.

There is also a shopping street on the treasure floor, but the window is always filled with shabby things salvaged from the garbage dump. In the treasure layer, nothing is new except your swearing.

Annan, who wanders around the treasure layer with the elements, is like a duke paraphrosing the town, and no one wants to provoke. But people who have nothing but to live don't care about that, they just want to live.

Annan treated everyone equally, and all the scavengers, wandering sweaters, and poor people who came to ask for money were given a silver coin.

Teophilus had made a difference, and Alice had always known that Annan had never been a stingy man.

"Aren't you afraid they're bad people?"

But giving the money to the poor still puzzled her.

Annan, who had distributed a handful of silver coins to his outstretched dirty hand, looked back: "Maybe they have stolen and robbed, but they are still far from the real bad guys." ”

Bad guys don't live so badly......

In addition to handing out money, Annan also asked Theophilus to introduce his territory, declaring that there was no poverty, no strife, and that everyone had shelter and food and clothing. If you want to get rid of all this terrible, go to the villain town of the Ash Layer.

Annan will return to the nest in the future, and these people will become his subjects.

The surface people disliked them as Bottom Nest people, but Annan didn't care.

"I'll take you home in the future."

In the last hour, Annan came into contact with three of the four seed colleges: the Agate Knight Academy, the Puddingburg Monastery, and the Freya Sacred Academy.

The Royal Academy of Magic in Montreal is said to be on the lower level.

Alice said that at least one-third of the officials and nobles of the Tatunn Empire were related to these four academies, and that there would be many troubles in the future if they were provoked. Annan, who can't make money or lose, feels pain, but fortunately, Freya Divine Academy contacted him.

"We've heard about your capture of the murderer of the town, and what happened......," their captain said in surprise, "We underestimated the Salz School of Magic." ”

In fact, it is not underestimated, without Annan, the Salz Academy of Magic and Wizardry would not even be able to come out of Seltovis.

Then the beautiful maiden told her that they were missing two golden invitations.
