William, who had already taken on the role, immediately bent down and said, "Earl Gilbert took advantage of the time when you were fighting just now to run away."

"Run away? It seems he also knows that I won't let him go."

Anno chuckled.

William glanced at An Nuo and gritted his teeth and said, "Baron, do you need me to bring him back?"

Although Gilbert is the earl, if Annuo takes action against the earl and does not intend to protect William, he will definitely be wanted.

But now is the time to show loyalty.

If Annuo recognized him and saved him, then he would be completely Annuo's man from then on.

William's loyalty to Ann was actually from the bottom of his heart.

Just kidding, after seeing Annuo's strength, if William still dares to have any other thoughts, he would be like an old man who wants to hang himself - he thinks his life is too long!

The demon that just brought him here had an aura that made him tremble. It must be level seven as well!

Any one of Annuo's sixth-level summons would be enough to give William a hard time.

And following a young and powerful noble, the future will definitely be bright.

Seeing William being so sensible, Annuo had the idea of ​​having him join the "Investigators" of the Adventurer's Guild and collaborate with Steinbeck to manage the "Investigators".

However, loyalty still needs to be considered.

William said before that he would go home and bring his family over.

If William goes back to pick up his family and returns to Xuelong City, everything will be fine.

If he uses this as an excuse to escape, Annuo will have the summoned creatures kill him.

Facing William's initiative, An Nuo nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you. Gilbert's crime needs to be reported to the royal city and judged by the royal family. Don't let him get away!

Buck, you follow William.

If anyone gets in your way, you take action against them.”

"clear!"

Buck received the order, retracted his claws, picked up William by the back of the collar and flew away.

Hearing William's screams, the remaining group of professionals stood trembling behind Rat.

Buck took William all the way to the entrance of the dungeon.

Then they discovered that the exit had collapsed and a large amount of rocks blocked the passage.

Seeing this, William analyzed: "It must be Gilbert who did it. He wanted to seal us in."

Buck grinned and said disdainfully, "How ridiculous! He wants to block the master with this kind of thing. Is there something wrong with the earl's brain?"

If it's so easy to seal a high-level warrior, then why bother sealing him?

“Get out of the way!”

Buck let William hide behind him, then shook his hands, and his blood-red claws stretched out again, flashing with light.

whoosh~!

Buck rushed forward, waving his hands in front of him.

All the rocks that stood in the way were cut into powder.

The soldiers who were standing on high alert outside, when they heard the noise coming from inside, showed alert expressions on their faces.

The entrance was sealed at Count Gilbert's orders.

But these soldiers also knew who was sealed inside.

That's a high-level strong man!

Now the other party is obviously preparing to rush out.

Boom!

Just as he was thinking about it, the entrance blocked by rocks suddenly exploded.

A demon flapped its demon wings and looked down at a group of frightened soldiers in the air.

William, who came out following Buck, swallowed when he saw the densely packed, fully armed soldiers around him.

But when he thought that there was a seventh-level boss above him, William became confident again.

"According to Baron Anno's orders, arrest Gilbert, the former Lord of Sunset Land and current criminal of the kingdom. Where is Gilbert now?"

After hearing William's words, a group of soldiers looked at each other.

They were Gilbert's guards.

They also knew some of what Gilbert did.

If the enemy is not very strong, they will naturally fight for Gilbert.

But the demon flying in the air looked like it was waiting for them to refuse so that it could kill them.

“Gulp~!”

One soldier couldn't bear Buck's pressure. He swallowed, put away his weapon, saluted William, and said, "Report, Lord Earl... Gilbert just left the castle a few minutes ago and should be running out of the city."

As he spoke, the soldier pointed in a direction.

"Very good, I will report your contribution to Baron Anno."

As soon as he finished saying this, William was grabbed by the collar and flew away by Buck again.

A group of soldiers were left staring at each other.

"Is Count Gilbert finished?"

"It's over, he's not a good guy anyway."

"Who is this baron?"

"Shh~, that baron is a high-level professional. Are you discussing him? Don't you want to live?"

“High-level!”

"I'm more concerned about what we should do next. Our status as soldiers will definitely be stripped. Will we become mercenaries next?"

"Well, let's take it one step at a time!"

…

In a carriage, Gilbert covered his face and fled towards the outside of the city.

Gilbert knew that if Anno revealed his involvement in Antoine's slave trade, he would have no chance of survival.

And he could feel that An Nuo had no intention of letting him go.

That's why he ran away.

Besides him, there were also his wife and daughter in the carriage.

Time was running out and he had no time to inform his son in the city.

Gilbert took only his wife, daughter and some treasures and prepared to flee the Kingdom of Nergal.

Next to the carriage, the sixth-level professionals he recruited were following on horseback.

This gave Gilbert a slight sense of security.

But this exposed his team.

Buck flew into the sky and found Gilbert's carriage along the official road in almost no time.

Faced with a seventh-level demon, the professionals hired by Gilbert surrendered directly under William's persuasion.

The terrified Gilbert family was tied up with ropes by William and then pulled back to Sunset City in a carriage.

After entering the city, William tied the Gilbert family outside the carriage and kept telling the people on the roadside about their crimes, and also mentioned the name of Baron Anno.

The purpose was to let the residents of the city know that it was Baron Anno who brought down Gilbert.

Gilbert's son was wandering around the city when he saw his father, mother, and sister being treated like prisoners and paraded through the streets.

He was filled with rage and immediately rushed forward, scolding William and those sixth-level professionals as a noble.

William's mouth curled up when he saw this.

Then the people tied to the back of the carriage became four...

When Annuo came out of Hidden Dragon City, almost half of the people in Sunset City knew that Gilbert had committed an unforgivable crime and was about to be taken to the Royal City for trial.

After learning about this, Annuo praised William.

He then asked the soldiers of Sunset City to issue a formal announcement.

And in the name of Baron Xuelong City, he temporarily took over the position of Lord of Sunset City.

If it weren't for the existence of the underground city, Annuo would not have paid any attention to Sunset City.

At most, a captain-general of the city defense forces can be appointed to maintain order in the city.

However, even after taking over the position of city lord, Annuo did not have time to manage it.

Gilbert's matter, the dungeon exploration, the actions of the sea people and the seal of the Deep Sea Fairy all require Annuo to return to the royal city.

However, Liz, Sasier, Buck, and some of the sixth-level summons were left in Hidden Dragon City by Annuo - Annuo felt more at ease because Ella was in Xuelong City.

Liz and Sasier's mission is to clear out the sixth-level monsters in the remaining areas of the third floor and advance to the seventh level!

Buck stayed there just as a safeguard.

While Anno was riding Adelaide towards the Osance Valley, something strange happened in the Aie Mountains.

A standard team of six adventurers, carrying the high-value herbs requested in the letter of commission, prepared to return.

When passing through an area, they suddenly found people fighting ahead.

Fighting is a very normal thing for adventurers who enter the Aie Mountains.

Such a huge mountain range is bound to have monsters.

Even if an area is cleared today, monsters from another location will migrate here tomorrow if they find that there are no monsters competing here.

The leader of the team is a hunter.

He discovered that the monsters fighting the adventurers in front of him were a group of monsters he had never seen in reality but were listed in the monster encyclopedia.

Sea people!

"We are almost out of the Ai'er Mountains here, how could there be sea creatures?"

The captain's eyes widened, as if he had discovered something incredible, and he said to his fellow thieves, "Quick, quick, return to town and tell the soldiers that the sea creatures have come ashore!"
