Sophia received news from the Thieves Guild that the Kennelly family housekeeper did not return to the south on the magic airship, but disappeared after leaving the city. The Thieves Guild did not find any clues outside the city.
From this news, it can be confirmed: Baron Jack Kennelly and his group should be a group of liars.
The fat sheep they were eyeing in Bena City was the Gophero family, which was gradually coming to an end. They had successfully gained the trust of Baron Harvey Gophero.
Surdak walked out of the hotel and waved to the street. A magic caravan parked on the street drove to the door of the hotel.
Entering the carriage, he said to the coachman: "Go to the guard battalion headquarters!"
The snow on the street had been cleared away, and the magic caravan drove briskly on the street. The horses' hooves made a series of crisp sounds on the stone slabs. The wheels rolled over the stone slabs, and they soon left this old street in the aristocratic district.
The magic caravan stopped on the street opposite the guard camp. Suldak handed the coachman a silver coin and got out of the carriage.
Looking up at the guard camp headquarters building opposite, the guard camp headquarters building in Bena City is very grand. The main body is made of blue and white stone strips. The huge five-story building looks like a fortress.
There are two knights standing in the watchtower in front of the gate. They are wearing the standard armor of the guard camp and have knight's swords on their waists. They look majestic.
Surdak walked into the door, wearing the squadron leader's badge of the Hellanza Guard Battalion on his chest. The background behind the crossed swords and shields on the badge was a mountain city.
The background behind the badge of the Bena City Guard Battalion is a microcosm of the entire Bena Province. Therefore, people inside the guard camp can use the badge on their chests to tell at a glance where the knights of the guard camp are from. Although the badge of the guard battalion in Surdak is printed
The mark was the seal of Halanza City, but the two knights still saluted Surdak very respectfully.
Walking into the main administrative building of the Bena City Guard Camp, Suldak came to the front desk of the hall and asked a young lady in charge of the reception: "Which captain is currently in charge of the defense of the old noble neighborhood?"
The female receptionist was very beautiful. She stood at the front desk and hesitated for a moment. Then she glanced at the badge on Suldak's chest. She immediately recognized that the background on the badge was a local guard camp, and the level was only one.
Squadron leader.
The female receptionist narrowed her eyes, forced a smile, and said in a long voice: "Captain Croft is not here at the headquarters at the moment. He has been very busy with official duties recently. If you have anything, you'd better make an appointment with him in advance."
"Um, isn't he here?" Suldak thought for a moment.
He came to the guard camp this time to find some helpers. The first thing that came to his mind was to ask some knights from the guard camp within his jurisdiction to help. Since the captain was no longer at the guard camp headquarters, Suldak asked again: "What about Jin Kai?"
Is Captain De here?"
"Who are you looking for? Do you have an official letter?" The female receptionist looked at Suldak suspiciously.
She seemed a little impatient and planned to make things difficult for this foreign knight.
There is such a thing as official letters...Suldak really doesn't have any.
In fact, when he came to Bena City, he never thought about coming to the guard battalion headquarters for business.
He was thinking about where to get an invitation letter. Now even if he passed through the Void Gate, he could only return to the treasure secret room in the territory.
Wanting to explain that he had discovered some suspicious people and needed assistance from the Bena City Guard Camp, he saw a guard camp knight passing by the hall suddenly stopped, then quickly turned around and looked at Suldak, asking
: "Are you the Knight of Surdak?"
"Uh, it's me!" Surdak turned around and said. He looked at the knight and couldn't remember where he had seen him.
Standing in front of him is a young guard battalion knight. Judging from the pattern of the badge on his chest, he should be a squadron leader of the Bena Guard Battalion. He is at the same level as Surdak, but the guard battalion of Bena City
The squadron leader is naturally half a level higher than the squadron leader of the security battalion in a remote town.
The young squadron leader seemed very excited and said to Suldak very enthusiastically: "It is really you. I am Ned Morse. You may not remember me. After all, you saved me in Wozhimala City at that time.
There are so many people, what are you doing here at Bena Guard Camp? Can I help you?"
It turned out to be the knight he had saved in the Maca plane. Surdak felt that his actions at that time were really of great benefit.
Hearing what Ned Morse said, some other guard battalion knights in the hall also came up and asked Suldak:
"Are you the Knight of Surdak?"
"Have you been transferred to our Bena City Guard Camp?"
"I heard your name mentioned by my colleagues. I'm very happy to see you..."
The knights in the Bena City guard camp seemed very enthusiastic, so Suldak had no choice but to say to Ned Morse: "I want to meet the officer in charge of the old noble district, but Captain Croft is not here at the moment."
The female receptionist at the front desk was a little dumbfounded at this time. She had never seen any knight from a remote town who could cause such a big sensation standing at the front desk, not even the captain.
Although she was rude at first, she was a very discerning person. At this time, she quickly intervened and said: "Captain Ned, he also said that he wanted to meet Captain Kincaid. If you guys know each other, you can take him with you."
Go for it!”
"Really? I can take you to see my boss..." Ned Morse said immediately.
"Thank you so much!" Suldak said immediately.
Ned Morse led Suldak towards the upper floor of the guard camp, and was surrounded by several guard camp knights...
The female receptionist at the front desk couldn't understand why the knights were acting like a bunch of licking dogs today, so she asked the other guard camp knights standing in front of the bar: "Who is he? He actually let Captain Ned Morse personally lead the way...
"
"I don't know. I've seen the guard camp knight badge on his chest. He should be from a small town." A knight who was watching the excitement said with a confused look on his face.
"It's not surprising that you don't know him. After all, you didn't participate in the Maca Plane War. As long as the knights in the guard camp who participated in the Maca Plane War almost all know him. He is the Surdak Knight. He can use the Holy Spirit on the battlefield.
The one who saves people with light magic!" A knight squad leader said to the two of them.
The female receptionist's eyes widened, she covered her eyes with her hands, and said regretfully: "It turns out he is Knight Surdak. He didn't name himself, so I didn't recognize him..."
Suldak didn't know how famous he was at the Bena Guard Camp headquarters, so he followed Ned Morse to Captain Kincaid's office on the second floor.
Viscount Kincaid is rewriting a report. He has been writing this report this week, which repeatedly explains the entire process of saving Lady Dorothy, even including his previous meeting with Baron Suldak in the hotel.
After a few sentences, he said everything must be written clearly, which made him extremely irritable.
However, this time it was Grand Knight Glenn who rejected it, and he did not dare to lose his temper.
I can only sit in the office and think hard about what is wrong with my report. Does this written report still need to be scrutinized word for word?
There was a knock at the door, and he answered in a dull voice.
Two knights walked in. The one in front was his squadron leader Ned Morse, and the one following behind was actually Knight Suldak...
"Knight Suldak, why are you here?" Viscount Kincaid stood up very politely, invited Suldak to the rest area, and asked the female assistant in the cubicle to make tea.
The female assistant had never seen Viscount Kincaid take the initiative to entertain anyone, so she quickly walked out holding the kettle.
Suldak sat on the sofa and directly expressed his suspicion that Jack Kennelly was a member of the liar gang: "Um, Viscount Kincaid, I have something to ask for your help..."
After Kincaid listened carefully to Suldak's statement, although he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, he still ordered the female assistant who brought a pot of hot tea:
"Notify all squadron commanders of the Second Battalion to come to me..."
Later, Viscount Kincaid asked Suldak very politely: "What are you going to do about this matter?"
Suldak knew the concerns in Viscount Kincaid's heart. He was worried that the identity of Baron Jack Kennelly was true. The Kennelly family was very famous in the south. Because of this incident, the Kennelly family members were offended.
It was really not a wise move, so I said:
"It's still not possible to confirm the identity of Baron Jack Kennelly. I want to apply for enough manpower to deploy controls in Bena City and keep an eye on Baron Jack Kennelly. Now I can only wait for him to reveal his clues. If
This is a scam, so the wheat that will be shipped to Bena City within two days is naturally false. He will definitely find a way to leave Bena City before then..."
Viscount Kincaid couldn't help but secretly praise him, and said to Suldak: "That's it, I'll gather people to keep an eye on him!"
"Ned Morse, go say hello to Captain Croft." Viscount Kincaid said to his subordinates.
"Yes, Captain!" Captain Ned Morse immediately stood up and said to Viscount Kincaid.
…
The midday sun shone through the car window on Baron Jack Kennelly's chin, with a smug smile on his thin lips.
Jack Kennelly rode in a magic caravan and the carriage drove towards the south city gate.
His entourage stayed at the hotel. The magic caravan passed through the city gate and rushed towards the airport terminal. The heavy snowfall a few days ago made the outside of the city completely white. There were some wooden houses built on both sides of the road. This was considered a shell.
In the civilian area outside Na City, a large number of homeless people live here.
Compared with the Brancasa Province in the south, it is much harder for wanderers here. The south of the imperial capital has a mild climate all year round, and wanderers do not need to withstand the cold.
He reached out and closed the car window. He didn't like the cold north wind.
After leaving Bena City, he immediately relaxed. He leaned on the soft leather sofa in the carriage and waited for the magic caravan to slowly arrive in a small alley at the airport terminal. A warehouse in this alley was temporarily rented by him.
He has the key to the warehouse door.
After jumping off the carriage, he immediately got into the warehouse. Without any pause, he took off his gorgeous aristocratic clothes, put on boots and breeches and a suit of warm clothes, and left through another door of the warehouse.
The fastest way to leave Bena Province is to take the magic airship, but Jack Kennelly did not go to the airport terminal at all. He walked into a roadside hotel and took out an ancient horse fostered here from the stable in the backyard of the hotel.
He came to the horse and even gave the groom a tip of one silver coin before riding out of the hotel.
He did not go to the Airport Terminal to take the magic airship, but rode a horse to the west along the main road of the Airport Terminal.
Because there had just been a heavy snowfall, there were almost no people on this road that passed through the northern area of the Ogi Forest. There were only two ruts and some horse hoof prints. This road was not easy to walk, and it was also heading towards the center of Bena Province.
If you walk in the area, just cross the Oji Forest, you can enter the Hetao Plain washed out by the Choba River. There is a small town called Iriser there. From that small town, he can take the slave smuggler's magic airship and leave Bena Province.
.
As for the Gophero family, let them quarrel with the Kennelly family!
As long as you are not caught by those stupid black dogs, no one will know the truth of the matter.
With this money, he can buy a batch of magic pattern constructs, and then sneak back to the Pogita Dur plane and recruit a group of construct knights. There will probably be a hundred construct knights there who can probably sweep the place.
As long as the indigenous tribes there secretly develop and grow in that plane, even if someone comes to visit them, they probably won't become enemies because of the collapsed Gophero family.
The best part is that the Kennelly family can take the blame. Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing proudly.
In the empty mountains, the north wind blows some snow flakes, like streaks of smoke. The woods here are very sparse, but the big trees are very old.
He looked back at the airport terminal that was almost disappearing behind him. Standing on the hillside, he could see the panoramic view of the entire Bena City from a distance.
He wanted to say a final farewell to this majestic city.
A true bard will recite a classic poem at the end of each performance.
There was a trace of panic in his heart for no reason, and he glanced behind him guiltily. He was on the hillside, so his field of vision was very wide, and there were no cavalry chasing him in the distance.
He was a little proud, probably the idiots in the Gophero family were still in the dark at this moment.
So he sat on the horse, opened his heart, spread his arms, raised his head to embrace the blue sky and white clouds, and prayed silently in his heart: "I hope I will never come back..."
"Hey! What are you doing?"
"..."
Jack Kennelly's eyes widened and he looked up.
Then he discovered that there was actually a woman with a mithril mask sitting on the branch of the big tree above his head. He didn't know how long she had been sitting there. There was a layer of frost and snow hanging on her cloak.
The voice was so sweet that Jack Kennelly had the urge to lift the mask off her face.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
Jack Kennelly asked while sneaking toward the crossbow next to the saddle...
