Looking back, he saw a young man dressed in dark gray metal armor and a scarlet cloak on his back, a two-meter-tall strong man.

Holding the hilt of the heavy sword at his waist with his left hand, he walked to Lance and Ike's side, and after standing still, the visitor introduced himself: "Hello, I am the chief of the city lord's guard - Ahmed Jackman, you can call me Ahmed directly, the city lord has already told me, there are some things that I need to explain to you." ”

"Hello, Chief Guard, Ashmud, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Lance said, turning to Ahmed.

At the same time, he and Ike politely saluted the tall, burly captain of the guard.

Presumably, the person in charge of investigating the high-level ghouls arranged by the city lord Andre should be this chief of guard named Ahmed!

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Champion Reims, Warrior Ike, I've heard of your deeds. ”

Although the head of the guard, Ahmed, said this politely, but in his eyes, there was an inadvertent trace of regret and unwillingness, which was still noticed by the careful Lance.

This made Lance and Ike feel a little embarrassed.

Yes, didn't he and Ike's deeds ruin the long-calculated plan of the people, and he also took a reward of ten gold coins from the city guard.

"Hey...... Captain Guard, I'm really sorry......"

"No, things haven't made much progress, and if the city lord's plan goes well, then we will see results today. ”

The head of the guard, Ahmed, waved his hand and said without mind.

For Amod's straightforward character, he still has a very good appetite for Lance.

"That'...... Lord Guard, what do you need us to do tonight?"

Lance asked.

Since Ahmed took the initiative to find him, there must have been an arrangement.

"Later, you will come to the stage to accept the thanks and blessings of the city lord, and after you have done these things, you can come directly to me out of the banquet hall, and I will wait for you outside the door. ”

"Okay!"

After the explanation, the chief of the guard, Ahmed, turned around and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, he turned back to Lance and Ike and said, "If there really is a war, I, Amad Jackman, will definitely go to the Northern Kingdom." ”

After saying that, the head of the guard, Ahmed, nodded at Lance and the others, and then strode out of the banquet hall.

On the other side of the ballroom, Brian and Brooklyn's performances have ended.

Their wonderful performance also won warm applause from the audience.

It's just that Lance and Ike were talking to Ahmed just now, so they didn't notice that.

The next thing is nothing more than the city lord coming up to the stage to speak, and then pulling Lance and the two to express their sincere thanks for their heroic performance in killing the ghouls.

After this set of processes, Lance and Ike were already dazed and didn't know what to do.

As for the negotiations between the representatives of the city of Kohima and those merchants later, Lance and they do not know.

"Alright, it's finally over, let's go, go find Ahmed to breathe, I don't think we're still suitable for this kind of occasion. ”

Lance finally broke free from some of the entanglements, and pulled Ike briskly towards the door of the banquet hall.

The gate opened, and the chief of the guard, Ahmed, stood motionless not far from the gate, like a statue.

"He's not going to be standing like this all the time waiting for us, is he?"

Lance stood by the door, whispering in Ike's ear.

"Let's go, he's already seen us. ”

Ike said.

Then the two walked towards the chief of the guard, Ahmed.

"Lord Guard, the things inside are finally over, it's too tedious. ”

Lance said to the chief of the guard, Ahmed.

He let out a long sigh of relief, and seemed very relaxed.

"Haha...... Those cumbersome rules inside are quite troublesome, let's talk in a different place and let's go!"

As the chief of the guard, Ahmed, spoke, and led the two Lances outside.

It wasn't until he walked far out of the banquet hall and came to a large open space in front of the castle that the chief of the guard, Ahmed, slowed down.

He looked around at the somewhat dim surroundings, which were empty and empty, and there was no one.

Then he smiled and said to Lance and Ike, "I'm older than you, so don't always call me Lord Guard, just call me Big Brother, and I'll be more receptive to you." ”

"Haha...... Big Brother Ahmed, haha......"

"Big Brother Ahmed. ”

Lance and Ike laughed and said to Ahmed.

Although Ahmed's face looks fierce, he is very bold and speaks straightforwardly, which makes Lance and Ike have a lot of good feelings about him.

"yes, it's much more comfortable, haha......"

Ahmed laughed heartily too.

This is completely different from the solemn and rigid appearance in the banquet hall just now.

Maybe as the head of the guard, he usually has to be like that in front of his subordinates.

"Brother Ahmed, you called us here, didn't you just do this?"

Lance tilted his head sideways and said to Ahmed.

It's so tiring to talk to such tall people.

But it can't be helped, who makes himself only 1.7 meters tall!

"No, I called you here, of course, for the sake of high-level ghouls, and if I'm not mistaken, we've been targeted. ”

"Oh?"

Lance frowned, and was about to make some reflex movements, but was immediately stopped by Ahmed's seemingly random movements.

The tall and burly Ahmed stood between Lance and Ike, his hands casually on the shoulders of Lance and Ike, the current appearance of the three of them, although it looked a little funny because of the difference in height and size, but this gave the three of them a chance to whisper.

"Don't do anything, I've got quite a few people in the shadows, and it seems that two witchers have infiltrated the castle as well, and I think they're watching us from the shadows. ”

"Witcher......?"

Lance asked, a little confused.

"It's Libert and Bruce, I've seen where they are......"

Ike said in a solemn voice.

Even when Ahmed said they were being targeted, Ike had already quietly activated one of his new abilities, the Falcon Vision.

This is the new ability that the magic pendant brings to him.

As long as Ike needs it, he can activate this ability through his mind at any time, and once he turns on the falcon vision, Ike's brain will show a picture of looking down from above.

Of course, this ability is also very mentally draining and cannot be used often, which has a certain similarity with Lance's "Time Hourglass".

The duration of the falcon's vision is related to Ike's own mental power, so Ike, whose mental power is not very strong, just activated a breathing time and hastily closed the falcon's vision.

Even if it was only a breath of time, Ike had seen Libert and Bruce, standing in a room on the second floor of the castle, staring at them.

At the same time, he also saw that in the bushes around the castle walls, there were many guards dressed similarly to Ahmed ambushing there, and among the guards, there were more than a dozen priests.

As for the figures further away, he didn't see them clearly.

But one thing Ike is sure of is that there is no breath of living people on the bodies of these figures.

"Oh, you can actually feel where they are? You...... How did you do that?"

Ahmed looked at Ike in surprise.
