As for Kino, in order to save time, the three of them did not choose to travel by carriage on land, otherwise it would have taken more than half a month to arrive at Lulin City.

Kino, Edward, and Lesakhar, plus a box of golden moons, were all mounted on Lesakhar's dragon. They took off from the Royal City and rushed to Lulin City at starry night.

The administrator and security captain of Lulin City were detained in Twilight City early, and the rest of the officials were also detained pending trial after Chino and others arrived.

The order to seal the border and strictly investigate fugitives had been issued before the three of them set off. The day after they arrived in Lulin City, the urgent military intelligence report from the border town was delivered to Edward by the messenger Pegasus.

"It seems that we are still a step too late. After all, collective action is not as fast as others doing alone." Edward read the military intelligence report and handed it to Resakhar and Chino.

There were only eight words in the military intelligence report - the border was breached and the key criminals were leaving the country.

The content is very brief, but the fewer words, the more serious this kind of thing is.

After reading this, Resakhar was so angry that he punched the wall hard: "Just let Hu Shanrong run away?! These border guards should be dealt with by military law!"

Edward smiled helplessly: "Forget it, the border guards are not as good as the inland elites, and their opponent is an extraordinary warrior like Hu Shanrong. It's normal that they can't stop them."

"If you want to blame it, it's the officials of Lulin City who concealed the report immediately and tried to cover up this matter. If they had reported the situation a few days earlier and taken timely action, we could have sent more extraordinary people to the border to block Hu Shanrong.

Halfway down the road."

It is useless to say these things now. Although Hu Shanrong has fled the country, the three of them do not intend to sit here passively. They ride the dragon again and rush to the border.

The dragon arrived over the border town. Looking from a high place, the streets were empty. The entire town had been blocked by the military. At the pass, you could see blood everywhere and corpses scattered everywhere.

It seems that in order to preserve traces of the scene, the border guards did not clean it up, but protected the scene and waited for instructions from their superiors.

Not to mention, this move is quite clever. It is better to avoid mistakes than to achieve merit. Reporting the situation and waiting for instructions is much more effective than making decisions on your own.

The giant tile-blue dragon landed in the open space near the pass, kicking up a cloud of sand and dust.

The civil affairs officer hurried over with the border guards. He had a very low administrative level and had never seen the three people on the dragon's back. But in any case, they came with dragons, and he knew they were big shots even if he thought about it.

I was so nervous that sweat broke out on my forehead.

"Edward Troy." Edward jumped off the dragon's back and extended his hand to the civil officer without any airs.

"Mr. Governor?!" The Civil Affairs Officer heard this name and was so frightened that he couldn't stand still. The greatest official he had ever seen in his life was the chief administrator of the main city. Edward's name was so resonant that he hurriedly held Edward's big hand with both hands.

, the meaning of humility is beyond words.

"Pay attention to your wording. I am not the governor now, I am just an ordinary person who has been suspended from office." Edward looked at the two people accompanying him and introduced, "Lesakhar Delin Regnom, acting governor of Fenghuo Province.

.Kino van Helsing, Archon of Dusk."

It was already the "cold" season, and the temperature had reached single digits. However, the civil affairs officer was so nervous that the three big figures were visiting and he was sweating profusely. He quickly straightened his back and saluted Lesakhar and Chino one after another.

The three of them did not stay too long and headed to the scene of the incident under the guidance of the civil affairs officer.

There were many dead people at the pass, some of them were border guards, some were members of the caravan, and some were civilians. They must have been unlucky people who came to watch the fun and got angry.

Thanks to the cold weather, the body showed no signs of decay, and the scene was well protected with no traces of movement, completely restoring the situation at that time.

Edward put on his gloves and began to look through the bodies one by one. The civil affairs officer leaned aside and explained: "The owner of this caravan is named Shen. He is a frequent visitor to our town. He has always cooperated with border inspections and has never done anything like this." Anything illegal."

"Three days ago, Boss Shen came to our town from the inland and was preparing to leave the country through the pass. His procedures were complete, and I approved the customs clearance documents directly."

"The next morning, I was working on documents in the office, and suddenly I heard the sound of fighting in the distance. I quickly took someone over to check, and I saw the scene like this, with dead people everywhere."

"There is a desert outside the pass, and we don't have enough border defense strength, so I don't dare to send cavalry out to catch up. I can only quickly seal off the scene, send out an emergency military report, and wait for the adults to come and deal with it."

It has to be said that sometimes the abilities and positions of officials really do not match.

The officials in Lulin City had nothing to do but tried their best to hide things when something went wrong in order to protect their future, and then made the matter become as difficult as it is now.

And this little border civil affairs officer, although he was panicked when encountering major events, he handled it very appropriately and logically. The gap between officials is evident.

After listening to the report, Resakhar nodded and looked at the civil affairs officer with approval.

A small compliment from a big shot can lead to a meteoric rise for a small official.

It's hard to say what will happen to this civil affairs officer in the future, but there will definitely be a chance to leave this barren border town.

Edward was checking the death status of each deceased person at this time. After the inspection, he stood up slowly, squinted his eyes and said: "They were all killed with one palm. Some of the deceased were not hit at the vital point, but the muscles and veins in their whole body were broken, and all the orifices were bleeding. This is undoubtedly the internal strength of the warriors of the Far Eastern Dynasty, and it is basically certain that it was done by Hu Shanrong."

Resakhar looked at the pass with a somewhat irritated expression: "Hu Shanrong fled to the desert. It's like a giant dragon rising into the sky and soaring wantonly. The initiative is no longer on our side."

At this time, the civil affairs officer suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead, and hurriedly came over: "Sir, you should take a look at this thing."

Edward took a letter from the civil officer and asked doubtfully: "This is it?"

The civil affairs officer answered truthfully: "According to our survey, the fugitives tried to leave the country disguised as a caravan, so they must have disguised themselves. After sealing off the scene, I thought that I couldn't wait here, so I led people to patrol the entire town overnight. Including a thorough search in the suburbs."

"Late last night, I found a body in the cellar of a hotel. It was confirmed to be from Boss Shen's caravan. His clothes were stolen. This letter was taken from him."

The letter's sealing wax was intact, and it had obviously not been opened yet. Edward opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but nodded slightly.

This is the second kidnapping letter, left by Hu Shanrong, which states how and where the ransom will be delivered!

After getting new clues, the three of them had a direction again.

Resakhar patted the civil affairs officer's shoulder hard, and his tone was not a joke at all: "Go home and pack your bags, prepare for promotion."

The civil affairs officer was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed and kept bowing to Resakhar: "Yes! Yes!"

Just when the civil administrator was overjoyed and looking forward to his glorious future, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Kino out of the corner of his eye.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but at that moment, he seemed to see...
Chapter completed!
