Chapter 577 Collaborators

Xia Fan stepped forward and pulled him up, "I understand. Don't worry, everyone in Baiguoyuan is destined to me. Now that something like this happens, I will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it."

"You... agreed?" Lars raised his head in disbelief.

He stumbled all the way to the Foreign Affairs District, risking being beaten out by the guards with sticks, and asked them about the residence of the Eastern Ambassador. Although the request was not rejected, he could see the undisguised contempt and indifference in the other party's eyes. This is not a place where low-level employees should come. Before the accident, Lars never thought that he would have to deal with emissaries from foreign countries. He had no doubt that as long as the other party said a word "no", or even showed a slight expression of disgust, the guards would pounce on him like hungry wolves and throw him into the smelly ditch on the street.

However, things went more smoothly than Lars imagined, and his inquiry attracted a noble lady. Not only did the young dragonborn not drive him away, but he also led him into the room to wait. And when the rumored ambassador came back, he agreed to his request without making any excuses, which made Lars really happy.

You must know that Achie is not an easy person to deal with.

Even the local nobles were unwilling to deliberately turn against this big businessman, not to mention that Ambassador Xia was a foreigner who had crossed the sea from the far east. Even if he refused his request, it was completely reasonable.

"Momola is a friend of my... friend. If she gets into trouble, I will definitely have to help." Xia Fan nodded, "Are you sure all the workers have gone to the dock?"

"This... I'm not sure." Lars frowned and thought hard for a moment, "Horn said that a new cargo ship has arrived, but it didn't say which port. There are far more than one dock in Azure Castle that can unload cargo."

He also heard Olina mention this when he first came to Azure Castle.

After all, the place is surrounded by the sea on three sides to the southwest, and important rivers pass through it. There are at least a dozen ports used to park ships, some of which are privately built and not open to outsiders. The White Sands is docked at the city's largest main port of entry, and its owner has always been the previous lord of Azure Castle.

"It seems we need to determine where they are going first..."

While Xia Fan was thinking deeply, Qian Yan tugged on his sleeve.

It seemed like she wanted to talk alone.

Xia Fan followed him to a corner of the back room and squatted down, "What's wrong?"

"Are you sure you want to help?" Qian Yan said bluntly, "Now that the enemy's hiding place has been exposed, we probably don't have that much energy to take care of Baiguoyuan. At most, Du Lin will notice that someone has sneaked into his nursing home until dawn. , once the other party is prepared, it will be extremely dangerous for us to enter the cave to explore. "

"You are right," Xia Fan lowered his voice and replied, "But I have a hunch that Achie chose to take action at this time, perhaps not just to retaliate against the workers, but to follow the plan of the real culprit behind the scenes. There are relationships!"

"How can I see it?"

"Doctor Dulin's test record mentioned that he has very little time left for testing, which means that the drug he developed must be put into use immediately. In addition, the other party's purpose is to create a strong enough resentment, so the number of people will naturally increase. The more, the better. I suspect this was Achie’s plan from the beginning—since the employees are out of the factory’s control, it’s better to turn them into magic materials.”

"This..." Qian Yan thought for a moment, "What you said is not impossible. But it is not clear where the hired workers were taken, and the caves in the mountains are places where it is very likely to find the Son of the Holy Spirit. We have limited manpower. No matter how you look at it, you should choose the latter.”

"Indeed. There are only four of us, and it is almost impossible to protect hundreds of employees from Achie's hands." Xia Fan admitted, "But we still have helpers."

After saying that, he took out the ruby ​​emblem from his pocket.

Qian Yan was slightly surprised and said, "Do you want to cooperate with the trial team?"

"If possible, I don't want to have anything to do with the Church of Hera, but now in the entire Azure Castle, I'm afraid they are the only ones who can completely suppress Achie." Xia Fan looked at her, "The Church has a huge power in the Holy Wing Islands. , getting too close to them may be a hidden danger, but this is the only way to take care of both sides. And I personally feel that...the leader of the trial team is not a difficult person to get along with."

After Qian Yan was silent for a moment, he did not raise any objection, "I understand, just do what you want to do."

Xia Fan closed his eyes and poured Qi into the emblem - the usage of this magical weapon is basically the same. As long as it is activated with Qi, it can operate according to the spell written in advance. Soon, a crack appeared on the gem in the center of the emblem, and then it shattered into powder with a tinkling sound.

Is love still a one-time thing?

Xia Fan and Qian Yan returned to the main hall, "I have contacted people who are willing to help, but it is already early in the morning, and they are probably sleeping. It will take at least an hour or two before they receive the news and get here. During this period, we’d better prepare our next plan——”

Bang bang bang.

A sudden knock on the door outside the house interrupted Xia Fan's words.

The guards in the foreign affairs area did not notify.

I hadn't heard any noise from downstairs before.

Who will be the uninvited guest at this time?

Olina immediately dragged Lars into the cloakroom. Xia Fan held the copper wire pendant in his hand and stood guard at the door. Qian Yan stepped forward and slowly opened the door——

"Have you finally thought about it?"

Accompanied by a familiar voice, Taxis and her guardian knight eagerly pushed the door open and walked into the house.

"puff."

Xia Fan let out a breath of air instantly.

"Miss Takshis?"

"Of course it's me. Who else would come to visit at this time?" She crossed her arms and looked quite dissatisfied. "I thought you would have figured it out earlier. It's been almost two days. Do you think the invitation from the Church of Hera is so unpopular?"

She was stunned halfway through her speech, because Xia Fan and Li were standing quite far away from the gate, and their postures were completely alert when facing the enemy, not like someone who could open the door for her.

So who was the one who opened the door?

Takshis turned around and saw the little girl who was swept into the door and covered her nose.

"Ah... Sorry, I didn't notice there was someone behind the door..." Even though she was a child of destiny, she felt her face getting hot and her tone was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Qianyan closed the door expressionlessly and returned to Li. The latter couldn't help but rub her nose.

"Ahem... Anyway, have you decided to cooperate with the church now?" Taksis cleared her throat.

"That's true... but how did you get here so quickly?" Xia Fan put away the copper wire pendant, "It's as if you were still squatting under the Foreign Affairs Building in the middle of the night."
