"You're the one who said you found the wanted thief?"
As soon as Chronos walked out of the small castle that was used as the castellan's manor, he saw the person that the servant mentioned.
As a matter of fact, the person was very conspicuous and didn't seem to want to hide. Instead, the person stood on the thick oak plank bridge that could be retracted by the winch to be used as the city gate.
At that moment, Chronos had the urge to inform the servants in the castellan's manor to lift the wooden bridge and see if they could shut the person out.
However, the fallen city guards told Chronos that the person wasn't someone to be trifled with. If he were to simply use such a method to anger the person, it would be troublesome.
Fortunately, judging from the fact that the city guards were still panting in pain, the young man with the unusual hair color didn't go all out.
Since there was still room for negotiation, everything would be fine.
Otherwise, Chronos could only place his hopes on the magical barrier in Lomosi that was said to be able to isolate hostile people.
After confirming his judgment, Chronos tried his best to hide the uneasiness and fear in his heart. Then, he pretended to be calm, walked towards the person, and braced himself.
"Finally, there's someone who can make decisions."
When the person saw Chronos, the bored expression on his face vanished instantly and was replaced by a playful smile.
'This man is really something!'
Looking at the flawless way the person responded, Chronos thought to himself.
"Since you're here to complete the castellan's request, please come in. I'll instruct my men to give you the highest level of courtesy."
As soon as Chronos said that, he realized that he seemed to have made a fool of himself. He quickly tried to salvage the situation, "Of course, I'm only representing myself."
Fortunately, the person didn't seem to understand the meaning behind Chronos's words. He raised his brow and revealed a faint smile.
"The highest level of courtesy huh …" The person glanced at the city guards on the ground and let out a short 'hehe'.
Although Chronos didn't know what the 'hehe' meant, due to his professional sensitivity, he realized that it wasn't a compliment.
"Unfortunately, I'm not the one who responded to the castellan's call this time. Instead, it's my …" The person paused for a while as though he was searching for the right word. "Yes, Boss."
Chronos looked in the direction of his gesture and realized that there was another person standing not far away.
It was also a young man, but he was much younger than the black-haired, half-bald young man who defeated several teams of city guards.
Although the other party's attire was rather gender-neutral, Chronos's eyes were quite sharp. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get to the rank of an internal affairs minister so easily. He could see through the person's disguise as a man.
"Boss?"
Chronos chewed on the word and roughly analyzed some information from it.
First of all, the cross-dressing young lady should be the black-haired, half-bald young man's superior. However, the subordinate relationship between them wasn't strict and close. Otherwise, the man wouldn't have introduced her in such a casual tone. Besides, from the way he addressed her, it was apparent that the man didn't have much respect for the young lady. Even though he was her subordinate in name, he still maintained his self-esteem as an extraordinary person and wouldn't address her as' Master '. It went to show that the young lady's strength should be far inferior to the man.
It was also apparent from the fact that she stood aside and didn't intervene in the previous battle.
"I see. Please forgive my rudeness." At this thought, Chronos bowed slightly and apologized.
As a matter of fact, he couldn't be blamed. After all, the presence of the man standing in the 'mountain of corpses and sea of blood' was too strong. It was normal for him to subconsciously ignore the cross-dressing young lady beside him.
"It's fine." The young lady returned the bow immediately. "Or rather, I'd like to apologize for ordering my subordinates to trespass into the castellan's mansion."
Her movements were standard and elegant. It was apparent that she wasn't the kind of person who sharpened her spear at the last minute. Instead, she had accumulated quite a lot of experience and habits.
It seemed that this young lady was from a noble family, and her father was most likely from a rather large noble family.
In this case, it wasn't strange for her to have such a powerful person as her bodyguard.
"Then, please come in. I think the castellan will be happy. "
The young lady and the young man looked at each other. The young man nodded. Thus, the young lady followed the man into the castellan's mansion with a somewhat nervous expression. The man followed behind unhurriedly.

"I feel that the inside of the castle is more magnificent than what it looks like from the outside?" Louise whispered.
Indeed, from the outside, the castellan's mansion was just a rather small castle. No, rather than calling it a castle, it was more like a manor house with a Gothic castle style. The highest point was probably less than twenty meters high, not to mention the length and width.
"It's some kind of space-expanding spell. Is this world really like what you said, a low-magic world where magic is very rare …?"
Xu Shenxing muttered in a low voice as he answered the question.
Except for a few special worlds, all space-related technology, whether it was technology or magic, was generally the result of high-end research.
If this world was really like what Louise said, and there weren't many magicians, this kind of spectacle should be very rare.
"Umm, although it's a bit early, can you tell me about the prisoner?"
Perhaps he felt that the content of Xu Shenxing's conversation was a bit too extreme, but the thirty-year-old gamer hurriedly interrupted Xu Shenxing and Louise's interaction.
"It's actually not a particularly interesting story. As long as you can see the prisoner once, the truth will be revealed." Xu Shenxing didn't intend to hide it and said directly, "The large crows in this city seem to have a habit of collecting shiny things. I found the castellan's lost item in a crow's nest. "
"It was the Jackdaw's doing?!" The old man was startled. From his expression, he seemed to be very surprised, "But there were many things that weren't shiny metal products among the lost items."
"Those were probably smaller pieces of cloth, sticks, and other thatch-like things." Xu Shenxing casually replied, "Although they weren't decorative, they contained the most basic materials to make a bird's nest."
"Now that you mention it, it does seem to be … Hmm? Actually, my lord, why are you … "
Halfway through, Florenos suddenly stopped and looked at the figure that appeared at the end of the corridor with a surprised expression.
