As a neighboring city, Xuelong City also knows about Gray City.

The previous Earl Wei and the previous lord of Xuelong City were of the same kind.

Since the death of Earl Wei and the appointment of Viscount Renault, the development of Gray City in just a few months has given the residents of the territory a new look.

Unfortunately, the previous lord and Viscount Renault were considered hostile forces, and there was not much communication between the two sides.

But now it’s different, Anno is the lord.

After Viscount Renault learned from Hansen that Annuo was going to Xuelong City to take up his post, he immediately sent someone to prepare a gift and then entrusted an adventurer to deliver it.

Mark, the Guild President of Gray City, has received instructions from the Royal City Guild and has set off for the Royal City to prepare to participate in the Guild Presidents' Meeting.

So the gift that Viscount Renault gave to Anno when he took office was delivered by Hansen himself.

The merchants in Grai City also heard the news that Annuo had become the new lord of Xuelong City, and they all brought the purchased goods and wanted to come to Xuelong City to trade.

Therefore, when a large caravan of adventurers and merchants from Gray City underwent inspection and entered the city, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.

The main reason that attracted attention was that Hansen brought more than a hundred third-level adventurers to gain face, almost half of the masters in Gray City.

Of course, these adventurers mainly just wanted to join in the fun.

However, the arrival of these adventurers made the professionals in Xuelong City very envious.

Because the equipment of the adventurers in Gray City is much better than that of these rookie adventurers.

However, this also gave these rookie adventurers a vision for the future. They happily went to the guild to find tasks to do, hoping that one day they could be like the adventurers in Gray City.

After the merchants entered the city of Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, they found places to start their own trade.

Hansen led the adventurers to deliver the gifts prepared by Viscount Renault to the City Lord's Mansion.

The six professional mentors who had just left the City Lord's Mansion immediately stood aside when they saw a group of aggressive adventurers.

In the City Lord's Mansion, An Nuo heard that Viscount Renault had sent someone to deliver gifts, and he went out to greet him with a smile.

When Hansen saw Anno, he led the adventurer behind him to Anno as if he was offering a treasure.

"Looks like you two did a great job!"

Anno was not stingy with his praise and even chatted with the adventurers brought by Hansen for a while.

After chatting for a while, Hansen told Anno that he had important information that Viscount Renault wanted to give to Anno.

After bringing Hansen to the conference room, Anno frowned and asked, "What information?"

"I don't know either!"

Hansen took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to An Nuo, saying, "But the Viscount said it is related to the previous lord of Xuelong City, so you must keep it in mind."

"oh?"

An Nuo took the envelope, peeled off the wax with Viscount Renault's seal, took out the paper and began to read.

After watching for a while, Annuo's expression became more and more solemn.

Regarding the execution of Antoine Olcott, the previous lord of Xuelong City, Annuo received news from the king that Antoine had seriously tarnished the image of the kingdom, damaged the interests of the kingdom, and undermined the stability of the Six-Nation Alliance.

The reason was that the soldiers in the royal city who were responsible for investigating the elf slavery case in the kingdom found Antoine and had solid evidence.

This case was investigated by the kingdom's own guards when Anno rescued the elf Phil in order to give an explanation to the elven embassy in Sodar.

When An Nuo was involved in this incident, he was only level three and almost died at the hands of a level four soldier who was chasing Phil.

Anno had not expected that after half a year, the investigation would lead to Antoine - Antoine was not the only noble involved.

However, the information Viscount Renault sent to Anno showed that Antoine had done more than that.

Because Viscount Renault had a bad relationship with Antoine and the Lord of Sunset Land, Gilbert Field, Viscount Renault placed spies in both Xuelong City and Sunset City.

According to Viscount Renault's investigation, Gilbert often purchased large numbers of slaves.

Every moonlight detected by spies, there are hundreds!

Most of the slaves are orcs, half-orcs, half-elves, and there are even dwarves and elves.

The origin of orcs and half-orcs can also be explained as captured monsters.

But buying elves and dwarves as slaves is absolutely illegal!

But the key point is that Antoine bought so many slaves not to use them.

Basically, the slaves sent to Antoine's estate disappeared quietly.

No matter how hard the spies searched, they could not find where the hundreds of slaves were hidden.

After the king's guards found Antoine, they led their troops into the city of Xuelong, escorted Antoine to the royal city, and executed Antoine in front of the elven ambassador.

When Viscount Renault learned the news, he also told the soldiers from the royal city the information he had.

But the soldiers searched the manor almost thoroughly and found no relevant clues.

The matter was left at that.

Viscount Renault felt that this matter was too strange, and now that Annuo was here, he asked Annuo to be careful about this matter.

After learning about these things, Anno immediately asked Ella to call the king's steward who had left here and asked about this matter.

The butler recalled for a while and replied, "That was what happened at the time, but the soldiers did not find anything suspicious.

Although this manor is not small, it is impossible to hide thousands of people!

So we suspected that Viscount Renault's intelligence was wrong. Perhaps when Antoine quietly transferred the slaves, he was not discovered by Viscount Renault's spies. "

Upon hearing this, An Nuo looked around at the letter in his hand.

In this regard, Viscount Renault repeatedly confirmed that the intelligence was reliable. Several spies saw with their own eyes that slaves were sent into the manor at night, but none of them came out of the manor.

"In that case, let's check this place thoroughly!"

Anno decided to trust Renault again.

After all, the manor is where Annuo lives now, and Annuo doesn't want any problems here.

Then Annuo walked out of the castle and summoned a large group of small creatures outside.

Seeing a group of monsters emitting a creepy aura, the soldiers, servants and adventurers who followed Hansen in the manor were all stunned.

What happened and why is there such a big fuss?

Even Adelaide, who was sleeping on the grass of the manor, stood up and landed in front of Anno.

She thought she was going to fight.

An Nuo looked at the summoned creature in front of him and ordered, "Search the entire manor to see if there is a basement hiding hundreds or thousands of people or a secret passage leading out of the city."

Swish~!

A group of summons immediately scattered, some searching on the grass, some jumping into the fountain, some hiding in the shadows, and some going into the castle and starting to search.

When the butler saw this scene, he felt that Annuo was making a big deal out of nothing.

At that time, the soldiers were also conducting a carpet search.

Although several hidden passages were found, they were all where Antoine stored his treasures and gold coins.

If there is a place that can accommodate a thousand people, it is impossible not to find it.

After Anno activated [Perspective], he also began to search the castle.

The entire estate is ten hectares, or 0.1 square kilometers.

Not small at all.

It’s big, with so many summoned creatures and more than a hundred mercenaries, they quickly searched the entire manor.

An hour later, Anno confirmed that there was no problem with the castle.

So Anno began to suspect the underground.

[Perspective] also has its limits. Annuo can now see through a thickness of up to ten meters.

Beyond this thickness, [Perspective] is powerless.

However, basements generally do not have walls that are ten meters thick.

While An Nuo was rubbing his eyes to rest, the lich came running up to An Nuo with a thick notebook and said excitedly, "Master, I found a clue in this notebook. Those slaves may have been teleported away."
