From this morning's exchange, Lance found that Jonathan is a very "straightforward" person.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have worked in Kohima City for more than ten years, and he was just the captain of the city guard.

Although it looks beautiful on the surface, this is only in front of ordinary residents, if it is against those nobles in the castle, or the kingdom army outside the city, he is nothing.

"Haha...... Brother Lance, do you know? There are five gold coins in it, but my brother's private money, but I think it's worth it, and it's my honor to know two brothers, come, and have a drink with my brother. ”

Jonathan picked up his glass and touched it with Lance and Ike, and the grunt was a big sip.

"Big Brother Jonathan, I want to ask, since there are still high-level ghouls in the city, what do we need to do?"

Ike put down his glass, glanced at the growing number of people in the tavern, and then moved forward, leaning closer to Jonathan's ear and whispering.

Jonathan and Komodos arrived today, and of the two things mentioned, Ike was more concerned about the affairs of high-level ghouls.

As for attending the dinner, he didn't care at all.

"I don't know exactly how, but Lord Liebert told me that the target of the high-level ghouls seems to be ......"

Speaking of this, Jonathan's tone paused, and then he glanced left and right, and after seeing that no one was paying attention, he continued to whisper: "Your Excellency Libert told me that the target of the high-level ghouls seems to be the two of you. ”

"The target is us?"

Lance asked, somewhat surprised.

In fact, with Liebert's words to them that night, Lance was not much surprised by this answer.

But being told is another feeling.

Especially when I hear Jonathan say it, it feels like he's being used as bait.

Thinking back, when dealing with Scar Man at that time, it seemed that he was also used as a bait by Liebert.

Thinking of this, Lance was a little indignant.

"Yes, although I don't understand why Lord Libert said that, but seeing that he is confident, he seems to have a calculation, and one more thing, Lord Libert also said that as long as you carry the Exploration Crystal with you, he can contact you at any time and locate your location. ”

Jonathan saw that Lance's face was a little bad, and he hurriedly explained.

"Hmm, how did he know we were looking for crystals here?"

Lance was even more surprised.

Ever since Mithranda gave Lance the Quest Crystal to Lance, they had kept it in their bags and never taken it out.

He looked at Ike with some confusion, and the latter shook his head in confusion.

"Don't forget, Your Excellency Libert is a spirit magician at the top of the Beginner Realm, and it is not difficult to do this at all. ”

Jonathan explained.

Originally, the search for crystals was the product of spiritual magic, but the search for crystals was very precious, and Lance didn't know about it.

After listening to Jonathan's explanation, Lance looked a little embarrassed, and he smiled at Jonathan.

"Come on, big Jonathan, let's drink......!"

Lance hurriedly pulled the topic away.

Jonathan also smiled, picked up his wine glass, and bumped into Lance.

Now there are more and more people in the tavern, and the three of them chatted for a while, and after they were full of wine and food, Jonathan said that he had something to do, and paid and left.

The weather was fine today, and after Jonathan left, Lance and Lance also brought their things and prepared to go out for a stroll around the city.

——————————

At this time, on the outskirts of the city of Kohima, in an abandoned waterwheel mill, there were two people.

One was burly and sat in a very casual posture and looked a little rude, while the other was weak and stood there, looking polite.

These two people are none other than Libert and Bruce, who left yesterday.

Bruce looked listless, squinting his eyes, leaning against the stone mill in the mill, his legs hanging leisurely, swaying back and forth at will, with a straw pole in his mouth that he had gotten out of nowhere, and a sac of wine with little wine left in one hand.

Liebert, on the other hand, stood beside the watermill, which had long since decayed.

He stared at the glimmering Exploration Crystal in his hand, sometimes closing his eyes and caressing it, as if he was feeling the change in energy above.

"Hey...... Aren't you tired of tossing and turning all night?"

Bruce took the straw pole from his mouth, tilted his head, and looked at Libert by the waterwheel with a tired face.

"Of course we're tired, but at least we've got our tails off, and now we're going to disguise ourselves and hide in the shadows, watching out for something strange in the city of Kohima. ”

Libert gave Bruce a blank look, put the Quest Crystal back in his arms, stretched, and sat down next to Bruce with a yawn.

After they had separated from Lance the night before, Libert had noticed that someone was following them.

So he took advantage of the next day when he looked for Jonathan, released the news that he had left for support, and left Cohima City, but after shaking off his tail, he turned back to Cohima City overnight.

In fact, he did go to ask for support, but he only used the Exploration Crystal to ask for help directly from his friend Gad Mora, who was in charge of the two Silver Knights squad.

Although Gad offered to help, it would take a few days to reach the city of Kohima.

But that's enough.

He believed that the hidden high-level ghoul would definitely make a move recently.

"Who do you think is most likely?"

Bruce suddenly seemed to be in good spirits, moved around, leaned closer to Liebert, and asked with interest.

"Give me a sip of the wine first. ”

Liberty said angrily, reached out and snatched the wine bag from Bruce's hand, and drank it empty.

He wiped his mouth, tossed the empty pouch back to Bruce, and said, "I suspect it's the middle-aged officer who received us, but I'm not too sure." ”

"Oh, that arrogant guy? Seriously, I do hate him, but I don't think it's likely that it's him, after all, he's still from the kingdom's army. ”

Bruce replied thoughtfully.

There is usually a priest in the army, and this middle-aged officer, it will still be difficult to hide from the priest who has been blessed by the god of twilight.

So Bruce didn't doubt him.

"Yo...... Are you starting to think with your head now?"

Liebert teased.

However, it can be seen from his bad smile that Bruce seems to have misanalyzed again.

"Then tell me why you doubt him. ”

Bruce didn't care about Liebert's teasing in the slightest, and seemed to have gotten used to it.

He continued to hold his straw pole in his mouth, and looked at Libert with some disdain.

"There's no reason, it's just a gut feeling, I always feel that something is wrong with him, but I can't say it. ”

"Cut...... I thought you had made some special discoveries, and it seems that I could also say, my intuition tells me that this middle-aged officer is not a high-ranking ghoul, of course, I am joking, you can completely take it as if I didn't say it. Haha......"

Bruce managed to get an opportunity to tease Liebert, and he certainly wasn't going to waste it.

However, when he began to laugh at Liebert, he noticed that something was wrong with Liebert's face.

"Hey...... What's wrong with you?"

Bruce hurriedly asked.

"I suddenly thought of a thing, I once saw it in the family books, this thing is not very precious, but it is very rare, that is to shield your own breath, Bruce, you say, will that officer also have this kind of shielding breath props?"

"Shielding props?"

"yes, that's it, I think I know where to start!"

Liebert's face once again showed a confident smile.

As he spoke, he beckoned to Bruce and began to dress up in disguise with the civilian clothes he had prepared in advance.

In a short time, the two Libert blended into the crowd and disappeared into the city of Cohima.
