Messy and wrinkled documents were scattered on the table. A golden pocket watch was half buried in the documents. There were leftover food on the dinner plate. The room was very messy.
A man wearing a formal dress, but still giving off a slovenly impression, was leaning back on a chair, sound asleep.
Bang~bang~
There was a sudden knock on the door, and Arcas jumped and was awakened.
"Who, who!"
he asked with some panic.
Yes, this is Mikogi in the appearance of Arcas, and he is now taking over the city as Arcas, although he has done nothing so far, he just stays here to eat, drink and sleep.
"Sir, there is Miss Leelle Phoenix who claims to be a special investigator from the Adventurers Guild. She wants to see you."
A servant's voice came from behind the door, and Arcas was shocked.
"ha?!"
It made a different sound, biting its hand in fright, and the fear on its face was clearly revealed.
It's over! Isn't that the person the master asked me to be wary of last night? Why did she come to the door? No, no! I have to find an excuse not to see her.
"Uh, cough! I, I'm not feeling well today and I won't see anyone. Just tell him that."
After Arcas finished speaking, he turned his head and pointed his ears toward the door.
"Okay sir."
After the servant finished speaking, he heard the footsteps of the servant leaving, and Arcas breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah, it scared me to death."
Arcas wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
However, not long after it relaxed, the sound of rapid footsteps came again.
Bang bang~
"Master, she said you will understand once you see this."
The servant said so.
Then Arcas let him in, and saw that the servant was holding a very thick piece of paper, with a lifelike dragon drawn on the four sides of the paper, exuding unusual magic power.
"The highest level of world law?"
Arcas's face turned green. Although it didn't know much about human society, it also understood that this must be something that only the highest level of humans could have.
Master~Help! It’s over.
He held a mirror and shouted quietly that it was a communication magic prop given to him by the devil. Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in the mirror.
"She came to the door?"
The mirror made a sound.
It turns out that the master had already guessed that she would come to the door, so the master must have thought of a way to deal with it!
Arcas showed a saved smile, looked in the mirror and said, "Master, what should I do?"
A voice came from the other side of the mirror: "I'm very busy here and don't have time to help you, but don't worry, they can't prove that you are not who you are, and their impression of Arcas is just hearsay. You just need to think of yourself as
Wake up if it’s the real Arcas.”
After saying this, the voice cut off and the images inside disappeared.
Hearing this, Arcas's expression turned very bad and he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
But when he saw a room full of things, he quickly stood up and stuffed all the documents, food, plates, etc. under the cabinet.
"Let them in."
Mickyji pretended to be Arcas and said.
After a while.
"Dear Count Arcas, I am Raelle Phoenix, a special investigator of the Adventurer's Guild. It's a pleasure to meet you."
A woman with some fluffy hair, wearing a skirt, and round glasses appeared at the door. She held the hem of her skirt with her right hand and nodded slightly to Arcas. She looked very aristocratic. This is what Mikoji is least good at.
.
Behind her was another old man with a serious expression. This old man had a straight waist, sharp eyes, and more energy than ordinary young people.
There are still two mysterious people left. They have their heads lowered, and one of them has a suture mark on his face. The two of them give people a sense of danger.
"Come in and I'll have my attendants pour you some tea."
Arcas pretended to be calm and said, but now he was extremely panicked.
As an experimental product of a weak shapeshifter and a slime, it inherited the slime's ability to detect danger. The strength of these four humans is frightening.
Of course, the feeling that the master gave to Mickey was nothing, as if it did not exist. The state of the master was beyond the imagination of Mickey, and it confidently concluded that they were no match for the master.
However, the problem is that the owner is very busy now and is not with him!
"Uh-huh! Sit down, I'm very busy right now. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Arcas said to the four people.
It avoided the excuse of saying that it was not feeling well because it did not want the other party to take advantage of this and check its body.
"In that case, I'll keep the story short."
As she said this, Rael suddenly stopped. She looked at Arcas expressionlessly, and the atmosphere suddenly froze.
Arcas's expression was a little embarrassed, and he swallowed secretly.
However, Rael suddenly frowned and said, "Before that, Count Arcas, you said you were feeling unwell."
"Ah! Well, I was a bit busy today, so I thought it was an impostor, so I made up a stupid reason, hehe, please forgive me." Arcas said.
Leer was a little silent and looked around the room.
"It's okay. Before we talk, according to regulations, we need to verify your identity. I hope you can understand."
After saying that, the two mysterious people behind her stood up.
Arcas swallowed his saliva and said, "Just test it."
Although he said so, he actually secretly held the mirror and hid it under the table.
Zha Shiwan took out a strange device, which looked like some glass tubes mounted on metal. Arcas had no idea what it was.
But this is definitely something bad, and it might reveal its identity.
However, if you don’t let them test it, then don’t you just admit that you are fake?
"Please extend your hand, Lord Arcas." Zha Shiwan said.
Mikki remembered what his owner said, it was Arcas now and they couldn't recognize it!
"bring it on."
Arcas raised his chin and put his hand up as they said, and suddenly some strange colored liquid suddenly appeared in those glass tubes.
…
The huge warehouse was filled with sacks of wheat, and workers wrapped them tightly.
At this time, the upper part of the warehouse suddenly lit up, and a figure passed through the ventilation hole and sneaked in.
He didn't make any noise, and no one noticed his presence. This person was one of the dark adventurers brought by Rael, Shadow Edil, a master of stealth, and also not bad in combat ability.
Edel came to the warehouse, secretly opened a sack and found that it was full of good-quality wheat.
"This is Richard's warehouse? Where did he get so much wheat??"
He felt that Rael's intuition was right. It was as if the businessman named Richard did not exist. There was no such person in the written records at all. There were only a missing Crimson adventurer and some ordinary people in other empires with the same name.
.
And why do the workers here wrap themselves up tightly? Although it's a little cold outside, it's very warm inside the warehouse.
This made Edel feel something was wrong, so he secretly followed a worker until he came to the break room.
He leaned his back against the wall, looked around, and then suddenly submerged into the wall as if diving into water, turning into a pool-like shadow, and then slowly slipped into the crack of the door.
The people inside didn't notice him, they all sat on their chairs and complained.
"Really, these clothes are too hot."
"It's so boring here. I don't know how long I'll have to work."
While the workers were talking, they took off their robes and scarves. Suddenly, two rabbit ears popped up from their heads.
