At this moment, the alchemists in the north of Kimohe Town were searching intensively for the place where the prisoner had escaped. Rorschach had no choice but to run to the mayor's house and knock on the door at night... revealing his identity as an alchemist from his country. No matter how late it was, he had to find the fugitive even if he had to search every house.

Rachel chased Lucille out but couldn't find her in the dark alley.

"What should I do?" she asked.

"Look for them one by one, and you must find Occam."

Both of them were filled with resentment. Just a few people! People who were weaker than them, yet they had actually kidnapped the prisoner in public and even mocked him in the end.

He's a fugitive of the country!

If they let him escape on the way to the imperial capital, Rachel and Rorschach couldn't imagine what kind of reprimand they would face...

Just as the two were anxious, a soldier hurried over.

"How's it going? Did you find Master Sean?"

The other person shook his head.

"No, but someone said they heard a few explosions heading south," the soldier replied.

"Master Sean must have been chasing the enemy. It's getting dark now, and there's a swamp everywhere outside Kimohe Town. I hope nothing happens to him... And little sister Lucille!"

The other party still shook his head.

The more I talked, the more anxious I felt. It was still late at night and there were hardly any lights on in the entire town.

Even if you go from house to house and knock on the door for a long time but no one opens it, and you may even get scolded, you can only find the mayor of the town first and then force your way into any house to look for the person. But even so, it will take a lot of time, and you may not be able to find him until dawn.

"First, send someone to block all exits of the town, and carefully check anyone who goes out." Rorschach ordered.

You have to stay calm, there is no way out now!

As long as we can restrict those people from going out, we can find them.

"I hope Master Sean will be safe. Send more people to guard the exit in the southern part of the town. The rest of you, come with me to find the mayor of this town." Rorschach ordered.

"yes!!"

While several people were deploying, in a dark alley in the town, the little girl Lucille quietly ran to the south.

I remember my mentor mentioned a blacksmith shop, and I just had to follow the path to find it... Wait, a blacksmith shop? That should have a strong smell!

The little girl cast a spell and searched for the place where it might appear.

……………………

In the southern part of the town, near the southern exit, there is actually a blacksmith shop, which may be the only blacksmith shop in the town.

There is such a shop in almost every place, which mainly provides repair and maintenance services, weapons purchase, etc. to the townspeople. Usually there are not many adventurers coming here, and even fewer mercenary groups. Although Kimohe Town has the inherent advantage of swamps, most of the resources that can be developed have been used by others. If the mercenary guild wants it, of course they can buy it directly from the merchants here, without having to spend a lot of money to hire people.

Mercenaries will only be sent if there's a major problem in the swamp that the locals can't solve...

Late at night, the lights in the blacksmith shop were still on.

It should be said that it will not go out at this moment!

Because once Occam was brought to this place, the blacksmith shop was destined to be involved.

"Eat slowly, Mr. Ockham. There's still some in the kitchen..."

Looking at Occam wolfing down his food at the table, a man who hadn't had a proper meal for three days couldn't stop eating when he saw the food.

Standing next to them was the owner of the blacksmith shop, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, with half of his hair already gray. It was said that Occam had saved their family when he was still a member of the Survey Corps, so even after he was declared a national fugitive, he still provided a lot of help. They were still in contact a year ago, but only recently heard that Occam was captured by the alchemists in Lewis City.

"Would you like some more, Mr. Ockham?"

"Thank you, I really don't know how to thank you. Fox, you are the best person I have ever met!" Occam glanced at the man next to him and saw a look of "touched!" on his head.

"Don't say that, Mr. Ockham. If you hadn't saved my family back then, we wouldn't have the chance to work in this small town... We only have a little stewed potatoes at home. I'll go get you another bowl."

The man called Fox felt uncomfortable when he saw so many people in the room looking at him, so he thought it would be better to leave if he could.

After eating a bowl of potatoes, Occam regained his strength and finally had the energy to look at the eight people in front of him!

"Tell me, who are you? Why did you come to save me?"

Sean also sat aside. In order to avoid being discovered, he put on a smiling mask. This was to leave a way out for himself when walking in Kserk in the future. Otherwise, who knows if these people will suddenly turn against him!

"We met the wax-faced wizard at the very beginning, but I have no impression of you. However, from my experience, you act very organized like a well-trained army. Are you from another country's army?" Occam asked.

Saroyan and his group were sitting across the table. When they heard Sean's name, they turned around in surprise.

"Are you the wax-faced member of the wizarding society?"

There is even a state of [Wow!].

WCNM……

Who gave him this nickname? Sean didn't want to admit it. He always felt his face was inexplicably greasy.

How come there is such a nickname? What was that person thinking?

"I don't care about your amazement. I want to know who you are and whether you are a threat to us." Sean said simply.

In order to prevent these guys from starting to play dumb again, I deliberately sounded threatening when I spoke.

"Don't worry, Mr. Greaseface and Mr. Occam, we hold no ill will towards you... Of course, we have no interest in the secrets behind you. We are only loyal to maintaining balance!"

"Are you..."

Occam was the first to react, but the other party laughed.

Well……

Sean didn't understand what this meant, but he couldn't let anyone see that he truly didn't understand. Maintaining balance was the same as upholding justice, wasn't it? For example, that alliance... Could it be that Xerxes actually had such an organization? Such a grand ambition? What kind of savior persona was this?

NB, NB!

"Putting aside other things, shouldn't our deal be improved?" Sean prompted the other party.

At this time, Occam finally put down the spoon in his hand and looked at himself.
