"In the courtyard where the Central Chamber of Commerce gathers, there are two exceptionally beautiful girls. One of them is the swordsman who escorted the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce. Their strength is far inferior to that of the people around them. It's not normal for them to appear in this small town."
"In a remote corner of the eastern city, there are two adventurers staying at a civilian's home. Although they claim to be adventurers and are here to deal with magical beasts, they are actually training in the Demonic Sequence. The mark on their badge is from several years ago, and there are very few mission records from that period, which is a bit strange."
As an adventurer, every time you complete a mission, the Adventurer's Hall will engrave a corresponding mark on it, which is a symbol of strength and honor.
"Most of the other outside adventurers are relatively weak, and some are injured. I can't see anything unusual about them."
"According to our previous investigation, the person who stole Viscount Moro's treasure must be at least Sequence 4 to evade the guards and disarm the protective device." The sergeant analyzed calmly.
"Yes, this operation is much more rigorous than in the past."
"Then let's get started now." The experienced investigator put on the brim of his hat, then walked slowly forward, picked up the hilt of the knife at his waist, and pointed it at a corner of the map.
"First of all, these two people."
The handle of the saber had long been polished to a shine and was pointed on the right side of the map, which was the eastern corner of the city.
"The other targets all have special features and are unlikely to carry out such a covert operation. Therefore, these two seemingly normal adventurers are even more suspicious."
"Even if they're not thieves, I think we'll gain something."
"Yes, sir!"
These soldiers from the center of the empire stood at attention instantly, and then, led by one of them, hurried towards the east of the town.
They moved swiftly, their armor-wrapped cloaks fluttering in the night, like bats, rapidly approaching their intended target. However, when they were not far away, their speed suddenly slowed down, becoming stealthy and silent.
Bang!
The shabby wooden door was kicked open, wood chips flying in the air, and the sound of the explosion suddenly woke everyone around. Then, one after another, black-clad soldiers holding sabers rushed into the small courtyard.
"You--" The owner of the house was in the yard at the moment, looking at these men in black in surprise. Before he could open his mouth to question them, he felt a chill in his chest, and a sharp long knife pierced his chest directly.
"Ah, ah..." He opened his eyes wide and made an incomprehensible squeaking sound with his mouth. He felt that all the warmth had run away from his chest and everything quickly became cold.
The homeowner slowly knelt on the ground, then fell heavily. Everything in his vision began to blur, and only the black military boots slowly enlarged in his pupils.
There was a sound of weapons clashing in the backyard, and then it quickly returned to silence.
"Damn it, let one of them get away."
"No rush, haha, as long as we identify the target, they won't be able to escape."
Listening to the low voice coming from the front, the owner's consciousness slowly fell into darkness until everything was silent.
