Purple Gold Orchid City!

The city on the border between the Roland Empire and the Dwarf Kingdom!

An Nuo had captured cultists in Zijinlan City before.

He also had interactions with Howell Ingram, the Grand Duke of Zijinlan.

It was also Annuo who pointed out that Duke Howell's daughter Sony had become a cultist in pursuit of power.

[Investigator] The current captain, Steinbeck, is also a member of the Ingram family.

It was just that he made some mistakes, which led to him being expelled from the family.

Coming back to this place, Annuo felt that what happened in Zijinlan City before was still vivid in his mind.

When Owen and his companions reached the border, they turned back.

Although the dwarf's current compensation to Anno was only a verbal promise, Anno was not worried at all that the other party would give him a blank check.

The Dwarf King would have to be out of his mind to withhold the "reward" for killing a ninth-level enemy.

Although An Nuo had just woken up, the entire convoy had already been traveling for several days.

Although no one asked to go into the city to rest, Annuo knew that everyone was very tired, so he asked everyone to go into the city in the afternoon to have a good rest.

The soldiers guarding the city gate became nervous when they saw a group of professionals who were dressed in rags but looked tough to deal with entering the city.

Many people already have weapons in hand, ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

After all, the cult incident happened just a few months ago, and the Duke’s daughter was killed in the fight against the cultists - this was the Duke’s explanation to the outside world.

"Among this group of people, there may be quite a few mid-level professionals."

The captain of the guard looked at the convoy that was heading toward the city gate, frowned and said to his teammates beside him: "Don't look at the tattered clothes they are wearing, but the look in their eyes... gives me the chills!"

As the captain of the guard spoke, he happened to make eye contact with Andre, a half-dragon man wrapped in bandages and a black robe.

Being stared at by Andre's beastly eyes, the captain of the guard instantly felt a strong pressure.

"This person is at least a fifth-level professional!"

The captain of the guard thought that Andre, who was riding a warhorse to the front, was the leader of the entire convoy, and quickly alerted everyone.

"Hey, here are our IDs, please let us into the city!"

Andre rode the warhorse given by the dwarf to the city gate and threw a scroll to the captain of the guard.

"Niggar Kingdom? Adventurer's Guild!"

After reading the contents of the document, the captain of the guard suddenly looked up at Andre and asked in surprise: "Are you from the Adventurer's Guild?"

"how?"

Andre, who only showed his eyes, frowned and said, "Don't they look like him?"

Although Andre was not at level seven at this time, he was at the peak of level six.

In addition, when he frowned, his pupils shrank into a slit, which made the captain of the guard swallow his saliva.

"No! With their aggressive posture, I would believe you if you said they were here to attack the city!"

The captain of the guard thought so.

But the document in my hand is real.

Most of Andre and the people behind him have nameplates on their chests, which are consistent with the characteristics of the legendary adventurers.

"Since you are an adventurer, please come in!"

The captain of the guard still remembers that a few months ago, the president of the Adventurer's Guild came to Zijinlan City and helped the Duke find the stronghold of the cultists.

He still has good intentions towards adventurers.

However, when making way, the captain of the guard couldn't help but say: "Dear adventurer, this is the territory of Duke Zijinlan of the Roland Empire. I hope you..."

The captain of the guard, feeling somewhat uneasy, wanted to warn the adventurers in advance and ask them not to cause trouble in the city, but was suddenly interrupted by someone next to him.

"Hey, why are there so many adventurers coming to Zijinlan City? You are not coming back from the Dwarf Kingdom!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the guards nearby when they looked at Andre and others changed instantly.

The captain of the guard also suddenly realized.

Yes, the Dwarf Kingdom has been preparing for war for some time.

Adventurers accept commissions.

It was obvious that this group of adventurers were going to participate in the war.

This fits their ragged condition.

"No wonder they all have such murderous auras, it turns out they just came down from the battlefield!"

The guards no longer had any doubts about the identities of these people.

Andre turned his head and looked at a carriage that was about to leave the city gate.

The person who spoke just now was a man dressed as a noble who lifted the curtain of the carriage.

But Andre had no intention of paying any attention to the other party.

He turned his horse around and prepared to go back to tell the convoy to pass.

"Little brother, don't be so vigilant. After all, I have a history with your guild leader. By the way, you can call me Earl Cass!"

The person who spoke was Count Cass, who had teamed up with Annuo to deal with the cultists.

He was the one who aspired to be the best swordsman in the Roland Empire when he was young.

In the end, Count Cass gave up sword practice because it was too tiring.

"If you are evacuating from the battlefield, can you tell me how the battle went? Did you win?"

Count Cass looked at Andre with a longing look.

The reason why he wanted to know the battle situation was because he heard rumors in the past few days.

It is said that the Imperial Sword Master is preparing to come to Zijinlan City.

It seems that something went wrong in the war in the Dwarf Kingdom some time ago.

The Sword Master came here to prevent any unexpected situations.

"I have no idea!"

Andre didn't give Count Cass any face and turned around and left.

Without Annuo's order, he would not tell this information to others at will.

Even if the other party said he was friends with An Nuo.

But what if this person is talking nonsense?

Moreover, if you tell others that there are a dozen gods on the battlefield, how many people would believe it?

"Hey~, you!"

Count Cass looked at Andre's back as he left, lowered his head and thought for a while, then said to the carriage road: "Turn around, we won't leave the city yet!"

In Count Cass's opinion, these adventurers were obviously elite.

Since they were able to survive the battlefield, they must have some intelligence.

This is something these border nobles are very eager to know.

Only by mastering the information and intelligence can the nobles make the right choice.

…

"Are you sure you don't want to meet Duke Howell?"

Anno looked at Steinbeck who was half-kneeling in the carriage and asked again.

Steinbeck shook his head and said, "I am no longer a member of the Ingram family. At this moment, I only have one identity, that is, an investigator!"

Anno was still very satisfied with Steinbeck's answer.

Anno originally thought that Steinbeck, who had already advanced to the seventh level, would use this opportunity to find a way to return to the Ingram family.

But now, Steinbeck was still very relieved that he had clearly demonstrated his loyalty.

After waving Steinbeck to leave, Anno just heard the sound that the convoy could move forward.

An Nuo, who entered the city in a swaying carriage, had no idea that their convoy had attracted a lot of attention when entering the city.

And among these gazes, there were a few with malicious intent.

"There's a nameplate. Judging from the features, he's definitely an adventurer!"

"From the battlefield of Saguntum?"

“What a lucky guy!”

"I wonder if that summoner is still alive?"

"Who knows, but if he's still alive, he must be in here!"

"Kill them all and test them. They are just earth creatures anyway!"

"Hehehe, I didn't expect that our Hissing Wind God Clan would actually wait and see. Go and inform Lord Tornado!"
