"Did you say you found the wanted thief?"
As soon as Fronos stepped out of the small castle that was used as the castellan's mansion, he saw the man the attendant had mentioned.
In fact, the opponent was very conspicuous, and he didn't want to avoid it. He just stood carelessly on the thick oak plank bridge on the moat that could be retracted by a winch as a city gate.
At this moment, Fronos wanted to inform the attendants in the city lord's mansion to lift the wooden bridge to see if they could lock the door out.
But the city guards who fell all around told Fronos that the other party was not easy to provoke this matter. If he used this method to irritate the other party casually, it would be really troublesome.
Fortunately, judging from the fact that they were still able to breathe and exhale the pain, the young man with uncommon hair color did not do anything cruel.
Since there is still room for negotiation, then everything is easy to talk about.
Otherwise, Fronos can only pin his hopes on the wonderful enchantment on the Lomosi layer, which is said to be able to keep hostile people out.
After confirming his own judgment, Fronos tried his best to stuff the anxiety and fear deep in his heart, then pretended to be calm, walked towards the other party, and said boldly.
"Is there finally someone who can call the shots?"
When the other party saw Fronos, the bored expression on his face disappeared immediately, and turned into a slightly playful smile.
"This man has two brushes!"
Looking at the opponent's flawless response, Fronos said to himself in his heart.
"Since you are here to complete the commission for the Lord City Lord, please come in. I will ask my subordinates to present you with the highest courtesy."
As soon as these words were said, Fronos realized that he seemed to be timid, so he quickly made amends: "Of course it only represents myself."
Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to understand the meaning of Fronos' words, but raised his eyebrows, showing a half-smile expression.
"The highest courtesy..." The other party glanced at the city guards all over the floor, and then let out a short "hehe".
Although Fronos didn't know what this haha meant, but out of professional sensitivity, he still realized that it might not be a compliment.
"Unfortunately, the person who responded to the call of the city lord this time is not me, but mine..." The other party paused as if looking for a suitable word, and then continued: "Well, boss."
Fronos followed his gestures, only to find a person standing not far away.
That was also a young man, but much younger than the black-haired half-bald young man who knocked down several teams of city guards.
Although the other party's clothes are quite neutral, Fronos's vision is also quite sharp, otherwise it would not be so easy to get mixed up with the level of the Minister of Internal Affairs. He could see through the other party's disguise as a man almost at a glance.
"boss?"
Fronos chewed on the word, and roughly analyzed some information from it.
First of all, the girl disguised as a man should be the superior of the black-haired half-bald man, but the subordinate relationship between them is not strict and close, otherwise the man would not introduce each other in such a casual tone; It can be known that the man himself does not have too much awe of the girl. Even as the other party's nominal subordinate, he still maintains his self-esteem as a strange person, and he will not call the other party master. It can be seen that the girl's own strength should be far less than men's.
This can be understood from the fact that the opponent has been standing by the side without interfering in the previous battle.
"So that's the case, please forgive me for being rude." Thinking of this, Fronos bowed slightly to apologize to the other party.
In fact, this is not his fault, after all, the man standing in the "mountain of corpses and sea of blood" has such a strong sense of presence, it is normal to subconsciously ignore the girl next to him who is disguised as a man.
"It's okay." The girl immediately replied to the old man: "It's better to say that I want to apologize for driving my subordinates to break into the city lord's mansion."
Her movements are standard and full of elegance. Obviously, she is not the kind that has been sharpened before the battle, but has quite a lot of accumulation and habits.
It seems that this girl should be a noble lady, and her father is likely to be quite a nobleman.
In this way, it is not surprising why there is a powerful and strange person as her bodyguard.
"Then please come in. I think the city lord will be happy too."
The girl and the young man looked at each other, and the young man nodded, so the girl followed the other into the City Lord's Mansion with a nervous expression, and the man followed slowly.
…
"I always feel that the interior of this castle is more magnificent than it looks from the outside?" Louise whispered.
This is indeed the case. From the outside, the City Lord's Mansion is just a rather small castle—no, it's more like a Gothic castle-style mansion than a castle. The highest point is probably less than twenty meters, not to mention the length and width.
"It's some kind of space-expanding spell. Is this world really what you said, a low-magic world where magic is rare..."
Xu Shenxing muttered in a low voice while answering.
Except for some special worlds, all technologies related to space: whether it is technology or magic, are generally quite high-end research results.
If this world is really as Louise said, and the population of magicians has always been small, it should be difficult to see such a spectacle.
"Well, although it's a bit early, can you tell me about the prisoner?"
I don't know if I think Xu Shenxing and the others are a bit aggressive in their chats, but that old man who looks like a 30-year-old liver emperor player from FG hastily interjected into the interaction between Xu Shenxing and Louise.
"Actually, it's not a particularly interesting story. As long as you can see the prisoner once, the truth will basically come to light." Xu Shenxing didn't mean to hide anything, and said directly: "The big crows in this city seem to be Have a habit of collecting shiny things. I found something lost by the lord in a crow's nest before."
"Did the jackdaw do it?!" The old man was startled, and from his expression, he seemed to be really surprised by this: "However, among the lost things, there are many metal products that are not shiny. ?”
"Those are probably relatively small pieces of cloth, small sticks, and other thatch-like things." Xu Shenxing replied casually: "Although they are not decorative, they have the most basic materials to form a bird's nest."
"When you say it like this, it seems that... um? In fact, Master Konoe, why do you..."
Walking halfway, Fronos suddenly stopped and looked at the figure at the end of the corridor with a surprised expression.
