Chapter 1169 Night Visit
That night, a man and a woman entered with the flow of people entering the city.
According to the people who live here, the atmosphere in [Giorno] City today is much more serious than any other day in the past.
Because it was just this morning.
The seven political officers under the ruler Paplor, the top of the cult sorcerer organization, and one of the seven holders of the original code.
He was killed outside the city by people of unknown origin, and no bones were left.
The same thing is happening in other parts of the world, and now the entire city should go into martial law mode and all access to and from the city should be closed.
But the way the cult warlocks manage is not understandable to ordinary people.
After only one afternoon of rigorous investigation, after internal trials and the arrest of several spellcasters, the city's operations quickly returned to normal. It is said that even the new candidates for political affairs officers have passed the internal review.
And just as they were inquiring about the situation, before [Giorno] City entered the curfew, Ronald and Patricia found the hotel where they would spend the night.
To be fair, of course Ronald wanted to find Heloise right away.
But think about everything that happened today...
They had just killed one of the cult's warlock political officers in the morning, and they broke curfew in the evening to find Heloise. Even with the strong strength as the backing, this is a bit too much.
In the hotel, Patricia placed the lighted oil lamp in front of Ronald:
"Ronald, how do you feel?"
Right in front of the table, Ronald was concentrating on casting detection spells.
At this moment, Patricia asked, and he frowned and shook his head:
"No, it's difficult to locate the location with magic alone."
"If it were in an ordinary country, in a city of this size, I would seriously spend two days , I can filter out the specific situation."
"But the residents of this city... To be honest, almost every one of them is making my work more difficult. This is definitely not something that can be done in a short time." After finishing
his sentence After discovering just now, Ronald reached out and scratched his hair irritably.
According to previous investigations, Heloise should be in this city now.
But because of this reason, Ronald could not immediately bring her back to him. The trouble caused by this situation is really helpless and uncomfortable.
The fastest way to find Heloise now is to follow the original plan step by step.
Seeing Ronald's irritable look, Patricia stepped forward, gently reached out and rubbed Ronald's messy hair:
"Ronald, the progress is not bad now."
"I know. As a businessman, it shouldn't be too difficult to find her."
Just like Patricia said.
Heloise returned to her old business and became a businessman.
According to the information obtained from Noela, she is now hiding in this city, selling tobacco in an inconspicuous shop.
"Thank you, I'm a little anxious." Ronald thanked Patricia, and then reflected on himself, "You really can't rush this kind of thing, especially when it has reached this level of progress." Patricia said
to Ronald nodded slightly and sat down next to the table:
"But having said that, Ronald, don't you think this city is too strange?" "
Even if it is ruled by a cult warlock, there is no reason to be here. In just a few months, the entire city's people have become like this...'maverick' character, right?"
Faced with such a question, Ronald was unsure:
"People's hearts have always changed at a very fast pace. They don't follow the road, they don't follow the rules, and the gods and ghosts are unpredictable. And under the rule of the cult warlocks... ordinary people have seen the terrible sorcery, been affected by the evil spells, and even yearned for this kind of extraordinary power." "
In What will happen in this backward land is unpredictable."
Patricia also nodded:
"A cult warlock manages a country. This kind of thing has never happened in the past. In short, next time We should proceed with caution, after all, we have already captured an original code holder..."
Patricia's voice gradually lowered.
Because right in front of her, Ronald's eyes became sharp.
"Ronald, what's wrong?"
Ronald pointed to the door:
"Someone is coming up downstairs, coming towards us, and they are coming with greed."
Bang, bang, bang -
right there in Ronald After two breaths of reminder, De opened his mouth.
Rhythmic knocking sounded at the door.
"Who?" Ronald asked in a controlled tone.
"Sir, you haven't rested yet, right?" A mature man's voice came from outside, "Can you open the door? I have some good things here that I want to show to distinguished guests like you." "...
"
Rona De and Patricia looked at each other.
At this distance, they didn't sense any fluctuations in each other. In other words - this was an ordinary person knocking on the door of the hotel guests at night.
——Weird behavior?
Ronald was doubtful, but he still got up and went to open the door.
Then, a man wearing a khaki coat squeezed into the room and immediately put on a smile for Ronald and the two of them:
"Both of you, I am Crouber, a slave trader officially recognized by [Giorno] City. . I heard that there are distinguished guests coming today, so I came here specially to chat with you. "
Slave merchant? " Distinguished guest?
The man who called himself Crouber didn't talk much, but just a few words gave Ronald a lot of doubts.
"We shouldn't have any plans to buy slaves."
"And what about the distinguished guest you talk about?"
Ronald asked in a normal tone on the surface, but in fact the magic power was already gathering at his fingertips. If this guy says anything wrong, he will be ready to take it down immediately!
In front of Ronald, the slave trader continued to say diligently:
"Sir, this is all you don't know."
"New outsiders entering [Giorno] can enjoy special official subsidies for the slave trade. . You may not have been interested in slaves in the past, but since you have come to such an interesting city, you might as well come and have a look."
Hearing this, Ronald suddenly realized:
"So for this subsidy, you guys always pay attention to the new people entering the city. A stranger, and then came to discuss with her?"
"You are really a smart person who can draw inferences from one case to another!" The slave merchant immediately offered his praise, "So there is such a great opportunity to make money, are you willing to let her escape?"
"I don't want to, and I don't plan to..." Ronald immediately wanted to get rid of this greedy slave trader because he was disgusted with the word slave.
But Patricia and Ronald were different.
She immediately stopped Ronald, and then suggested in a more serious tone:
"Brad, don't worry."
"Since he is a 'businessman,' maybe we can talk to him?"
