Messy and wrinkled documents were scattered on the table, a golden pocket watch was half buried in the documents, and there were remnants of food on the plate. The room was very messy.
A person in a formal dress, but still gave a sloppy impression, was leaning back on the chair and sleeping soundly.
Bang ~ Bang ~
There was a sudden knock on the door, and Arcas was awakened with a start.
"Who, who is it!"
He asked in a panic.
That's right, this was Mikaji, who was wearing the appearance of Arcath. He was now using Arcath's identity to take over this city. Although he hadn't done anything up until now, all he did was eat, drink, and sleep.
"Master, there is a Miss Rayle Phoenix who claims to be a special investigator from the Adventurers Guild who wants to see you."
The voice of a servant came from behind the door, and Arcas was shocked.
"Huh?!"
He made a different sound, and bit his hand in fright, and the fear on his face was exposed.
It's over! Isn't that the person master told me to be wary of last night? Why is she here? No, no! I have to find an excuse not to see her.
"Uh, cough, cough! I, I'm not feeling well today, and I don't want to see anyone, just tell her that. "
After Arcas finished speaking, he turned his head and pricked up his ears towards the door.
"Yes, master."
After the servant finished speaking, he heard the footsteps of the servant leaving, and Arcas breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah, scared me to death."
Arcas wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
However, not long after it relaxed, a series of hurried footsteps came again.
Bang ~ Bang ~
"Master, she said you will understand as long as you see this."
The servant said so.
Then Arcas let him in, and he saw the servant holding a very thick piece of paper. There was a lifelike dragon drawn on the four sides of the paper, and it exuded unusual magic.
"The highest level of world law?"
Arcas' face turned green. Although he didn't know much about human society, he knew that this must be something that only the highest level of humans would have.
Master ~ Save me! ' It's over.
He held a mirror and whispered, this was a communication magic tool given to him by the Demon King. Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in the mirror.
"She's here?"
The mirror made a sound.
So Master had already guessed that she would come looking for him. Then Master must have thought of a way to deal with it!
Arcath smiled as if he had been saved. He looked at the mirror and said, "Master, what should I do?"
A voice came from the other side of the mirror. "I'm very busy here, so I don't have time to help you. But don't worry, they can't prove that you're not the real Arcath. Moreover, their impression of Arcath is just hearsay. You just need to treat yourself as the real Arcath and wake up."
After that, the voice was cut off, and the image inside disappeared.
Hearing this, Arcath's expression turned very ugly. He could only brace himself and go forward.
But when he saw the room full of things, he quickly stood up and stuffed all the documents, food, and plates under the cabinet.
"Let them in."
Mikeji said, pretending to be Akas.
After a while.
"Honorable Earl Arcath, I'm the special investigator of the Adventurers Guild, Leur Phoenix. Nice to meet you."
A woman with slightly fluffy hair, wearing a skirt and round glasses appeared at the door. She held the hem of her skirt with her right hand and nodded slightly at Akas. She had the air of a noble, which was something Mikaji wasn't good at.
Behind her was an old man with a serious expression. This old man's back was very straight, his eyes were sharp, and his spirit was more spirited than ordinary young people.
There were also two mysterious people left. They lowered their heads, and one of them had a stitched mark on his face. The two of them gave people a dangerous feeling.
"Come in, I'll let my servant pour you some tea."
Arcath pretended to be calm and said, but he was very panicked now.
As the experimental product of a weak shapeshifting monster and Slime, he inherited Slime's ability to detect danger. The strength of these four humans was terrifying.
Of course, the feeling that Master gave Mikeji was nothing, as if he didn't exist. Master's realm was already beyond Mikeji's imagination. He confidently concluded that they were no match for Master.
But the problem was that Master was very busy now and wasn't by his side!
"Hmph! Sit down, I'm very busy now. If you have something to say, just say it. "
Arcath said to the four people.
He avoided the excuse that he was not feeling well just now because he didn't want the other party to use this to check his body.
"Since that's the case, I'll make it short."
With that, Leur suddenly stopped. She looked at Arcath expressionlessly, and the atmosphere froze.
Arcath's expression was a little awkward, and he secretly swallowed his saliva.
However, Leur suddenly frowned and said, "Before that, Earl Arcath, you said that you were not feeling well."
"Ah! About that, I'm a little busy today. I thought it was an imposter, so I made up a stupid excuse. Hehe, please forgive me. "Arcath said.
Leur was a little silent. Her eyes looked around the room.
"It's okay. Before we talk, according to the rules, we need to check your identity. I hope you can understand."
After saying that, the two mysterious people behind her stood up and started to walk away.
Arcath swallowed his saliva and said, "Do whatever you want."
Although he said so, he had already secretly grabbed the mirror and hid it under the table.
Zha Wanwan took out a strange device. It looked like some glass tubes on top of metal. Arcath didn't know what it was at all.
But it was definitely something bad. It might expose his identity.
But if he didn't let them check, wouldn't he admit that he was a fake?
"Please stretch out your hand, Lord Arcath." Zha Wanwan said.
Mikeji remembered what Master said. He was Arcath now, and they couldn't recognize him!
"Come."
Arcath raised his chin and put his hand on the glass. Suddenly, some strange colored liquid appeared on the glass tubes.
…
The huge warehouse was filled with sacks of wheat, and the workers were wrapped up tightly.
At this moment, the ceiling of the warehouse suddenly lit up. A figure went through the ventilation hole and sneaked in.
He didn't make any sound, and no one noticed his presence. This person was one of the dark adventurers that Leur brought along, Shadow Edier. He was an expert in stealth, and his combat power was not bad.
Edier came to the warehouse. He secretly opened a sack and found that it was full of high-quality wheat.
"This is Richard's warehouse? Where did he get so much wheat? "
He felt that Leur's intuition was right. This merchant named Richard didn't exist. There was no record of this person at all. The only people with the same name were a missing Crimson Adventurer and some ordinary people in other empires.
Also, why did the workers here wrap themselves up so tightly? Although it was a little cold outside, it was very warm inside the warehouse.
This made Edier feel that something was wrong, so he secretly followed one of the workers until he came to the lounge.
He leaned against the wall and looked around. Then, he suddenly submerged into the wall as if he was diving into water. He turned into a pool of water and slowly went into the gap of the door.
The people inside didn't notice him. They were all sitting on the chairs and complaining.
"Damn it, these clothes are too hot."
"It's so stuffy here. I don't know how long we have to work here."
The workers talked as they took off their robes and scarves. Suddenly, two rabbit ears popped out from their heads.
Edier's eyes widened in the shadow.
These workers were all monsters!
