After entering the territory of the Sunset Land, Annuo asked Adelaide to increase the flying altitude to avoid being seen by people below.
The group first came to the cave where Adelaide lived.
After Adelaide escaped from here, Gilbert and his men looted everything in the cave.
However, what Adelaide collected at that time were basically some shiny magic crystals, and the quantity was not large.
Despite this, Gilbert still packed them all up and took them away.
Even the precious magic stone that Adelaide had hidden in a hidden cave was found.
There was nothing in the cave at this time.
This made Adelaide very angry.
If An Nuo hadn't ordered her to hide in the cave, she would have gone to Sunset City to settle accounts with Gilbert.
"Master, should we conceal our identities and investigate secretly, or go directly to find that Gilbert?"
Liz sat behind Anno, hugged Anno's waist and analyzed: "We still don't know where Antoine got the Truman notes in his study, and Gilbert should have something similar.
Did they find these clues about the underground city by themselves, or were they revealed to them by someone on purpose? "
Liz's suspicion is not without reason.
With the power Antoine and Gilbert have, it is impossible to get any clues about the underground city unless they are extremely lucky.
Take Truman's diary-like notebook, for example.
Truman was killed by the Sword Master in the southern part of the kingdom.
How did his notebook end up in Antoine's hands in the East?
Moreover, the exploration of the dungeon started half a year ago.
They may have obtained clues such as the diary earlier.
During that period of time, Annuo remembered two things that might be related to this incident.
The first thing was that the previous lord of Gray City, Earl Wei, was killed by Annuo.
Count Wei, Antoine and Gilbert were allies, and it is not ruled out that Count Wei's death had some impact on Antoine and Gilbert.
The second thing is that the sea creatures come ashore.
The mercenaries who tracked Adelaide all the way to the Aie Mountains encountered a large number of sea creatures.
According to Truman's notes, Truman came to the South to help the sea people find and unlock the seal of the Deep Sea Demon.
It cannot be ruled out that Truman's notebook was in the hands of the sea people, and then for some reason, it was handed over to Gilbert by them.
If it is the latter, it is very likely that this dungeon, which is not recorded much in the notebook, has some connection with the seal of the Deep Sea Fairy.
Of course, so much time has passed that there is no way to find a connection between the two events.
It is somewhat far-fetched to link the two things together in this way.
But the problem now is that we should be prepared for the worst!
"Once we are there, we will hide our identities and secretly investigate the situation in Sunset City. If we can confirm that there are no high-level beings in his territory, then we will confront him directly!"
An Nuo’s current strength is level seven.
If Gilbert had no one behind him, he could easily bully others.
Sunset City is much larger than Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, but its population is about the same as Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.
After Annoqiao Zhuang entered Sunset City, he found that the residents here were basically the same as those in Xuelong City.
However, the number of professionals in the city is much greater than that in Xuelong City.
The quality is far superior to that of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.
At the very least, there are quite a few mid-level professionals.
As for the adventurers...
The Sunset Land also has no Adventurer's Guild, and adventurers are not welcome at all.
"The mid-level professionals are probably the professionals from our neighboring country, Orebor."
Based on the intelligence, An Nuo speculated: "These professionals seem to be very low-key in Sunset City, and they don't have the arrogant and domineering appearance of mercenaries at all."
These professionals don't even wear any equipment. If it weren't for the professional seals on their bodies, they would look like ordinary people.
But in Annuo's eyes, they couldn't hide at all.
Everyone's level is clearly visible under the gaze of the [Observer].
At this moment, Annuo saw a caravan heading towards the city gate.
The caravan's flag also included the flag of the Principality of Orebor, as well as a flag of a guild of commerce that Annuo didn't know about.
"A caravan from the Principality of Orebor?"
An Nuo's mind moved, and he turned on [Perspective] to check the goods in the carriage.
Several carriages were filled with boxes covered with black cloth, which contained many antique treasures and some shabby armor that was only ornamental.
The reason why we can tell that these are antiques is that there are similar things among those things that Anno had seized in the dungeon before.
It is obvious that these things were transported out of the underground city.
The one who did business with the caravan was naturally Gilbert.
"I don't know how many deals like this Gilbert has done. There should be a lot of items out of the dungeon outside now."
An Nuo frowned slightly, turned around and walked towards the direction where Gilbert lived.
Although there are many mid-level professionals in the city, the number of sixth-level professionals is rare.
I guess there are no high-level people in the city.
Even if Gilbert has one, it would be at most level seven.
Unlike Antoine's castle manor, Gilbert built his residence into a small fortress-like place.
The towering city wall outside was ten meters high, and a large group of soldiers were patrolling at the gate.
Gilbert, who had just finished drinking, was about to take a nap when he suddenly heard his men report that a man claiming to be Baron Annuo, the lord of Xuelong City, wanted to see him.
"Baron Anno? Lord of Xuelong City?"
Gilbert's eyes gradually narrowed into a line.
The information about An Nuo becoming a seventh-level cultivator has not yet reached Sunset City.
There is no adventurer in Sunset City who can spread the news the fastest.
Gilbert, who was concentrating on exploring the dungeon, did not pay attention to the news from the royal city.
So he was not very familiar with Baron Anno.
I remember that a few months ago, the king conferred the title of baron on a professional who had made great military achievements in order to reward him.
This person seems to be called An Nuo.
But how did Baron Anno become the lord of Xuelong City?
"Why did he come to see me?"
Gilbert had no connection with the other party.
The first thing he thought of was Antoine. His heart skipped a beat, and he touched the skull necklace on his neck and said to himself:
"Could it be that it was exposed over there?"
