The name of Sheng Ten is very useful, and the mayor immediately dispelled all his concerns. Not only did he know everything, but he also had a lot of words.

Rhodes decided to wear the Holy Ten outfit when he went out to do business. If it really didn't work, he would just wear the medal.

According to the mayor, the Black Knights and Robbers Group consists of six men and two women. Every time they are dispatched, they wear full black armor, even including facial armor.

The reason why we can distinguish between men and women is thanks to the two who are so good-looking, and their breastplate seems to have two "bowls" on them.

The weapons used by the eight people are different, namely swords and shields, knights, sledgehammers, axes, big knives, bows and arrows, muskets and clarinets.

It sounds a bit weird to mix clarinets in it, obviously it is also a magic prop. The mayor said that everyone who hears the blowing will fall asleep.

In addition, there seems to be magic on their armor. The mayor is not sure what it is, but he heard from those magicians before that they are both offensive and defensive, and they are very powerful.

These eight people have been entrenched in Parson Flower Hill for a long time ago. At first, they were just making small fusses, but later they gradually changed into magical equipment.

Since last year, they have robbed the passing caravan and occasionally went to the town to blackmail.

The amount was not much at the beginning, and I left after taking the money, so I could tolerate it.

Later, their appetite grew bigger and fewer caravans traveling between the towns, which greatly affected their lives.

Especially two months ago, they destroyed the harvest celebration and stole a large number of supplies. The mayor and the townspeople could not bear it anymore.

Finally decided to ask the magician of the Earth Elf Wheel to solve the problem.

However, before they hired the magician, they only knew that this group of robbers was powerful. After hired the magician, they realized that they were so powerful.

This time, the Fairy Tail is because they have been on too much news recently.

Unexpectedly, the first batch of magicians lost contact, but the second batch of them got the Holy Ten.

Although I was worried for two extra days, I didn’t seem to have waited in vain. It seems that the guild’s reputation is still good.

Rhodes and Miraco asked a few questions, and were sent respectfully by the secretary.

After walking for a while, Rhode first used the Void Swift Crab's skill to confirm that no one was following them specifically, and then asked, "What do you think?"

Mira thought for a while and said, "Isn't it necessary to doubt Mr. Mayor as if he was lying?"

"Of course, you have to doubt the client first." Rhodes took it for granted, what if it was the client's conspiracy.

It feels that Rhodes attaches great importance to the client and the normal magic soil. Mira said helplessly: "Anyway, can it be ruled out for the time being. Do you want to go to the Yuzu Hotel to have a look?"

"certainly."

After a little inquiry, the two found the hotel where Alusha and the others originally planned to stay.

Rhodes asked the front desk waiter to describe the characteristics of their companions and asked them if they had stayed there.

The waiter looked at the demon-tailed emblem painted on Rhode's clothes, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Is your relationship with them?"

"—" I must have seen this. Rhodes prepared to defend himself and replied cautiously, "It's a companion."

"That's great!" The waiter happily took out a small notebook and turned over two pages to show it to Rhode.

This thing seems to be a bill, and there is more of a bad premonition.

Sure enough, the waiter said, "They booked a room the evening before yesterday, but they have not returned yet. I don't know when I made a big hole in the floor and have not appeared yet-"

Rhodes' face became darker and darker, and these cheating guys were cheating.

Mira smiled with her mouth covering her mouth, feeling less and less like she was having an accident, but more like she was running away from the slap.

Could it be that they didn't bring money when they went out?

"Since you and them are companions, can you ask the two of you to pay the room and compensation?"

The waiter said this to Rhode carefully, and while he was looking at the bill, he signaled his colleagues at the door to block the door and not let them run away.

Rod said helplessly: "I will pay the house for them. As for the compensation, can you take us to that room to see?"

The waiter thought he wanted to confirm whether the room was really damaged, so he took the spare key to take the two of them over.

Mira took the opportunity to ask, "Do you know where they are going?"

1

The waiter shook his head: "I don't know. No one saw them come out after they returned to the room. But when we went to do daily cleaning, there was no one in the room.

"There was a window in the room yesterday morning, and we all guessed if they had flipped out the window."

Because this group of guests is quite strange, she thinks it is normal for her to like to slim the windows, but it is on the first floor anyway.

The door opens and the entrance is a large living room. In addition to the bathroom and bathroom, there are 4 rooms connected to it.

There is a very conspicuous hole on the floor in the center of the living room, which looks a bit strange.

Rod asked, "Has anyone else been to this suite except for your hotel staff?"

"No, probably." The waiter wasn't staring at the room all the time. She was sure that no one was walking through the main entrance. "The guests' luggage was still in the room. We hadn't moved, and they didn't look like they had been cheated by others."

Rhodes and Mira went to each room to take a look. Alusha's car of suitcases, Lucy's trolley case, Natsu's bedding roll, Grey's crossbody bag, and Wendy's small backpack were all there.

In other words, I didn't see Habi's little green bag, but he should be carrying it on his back.

Apart from the big pit in the living room, there is no trace of damage at all.

Someone must have sat on the bed of several people. The sheets were slightly wrinkled, but the quilt did not move.

Rhode asked, sure no one had tidied up the bed.

So they probably disappeared shortly after completing the check-in procedures, and for the hotel staff, they disappeared silently.

Rhode counted out a few big tickets and handed them to the waiter: "I will compensate for the losses, and we will leave this room for another day, so don't clean it."

"Okay, sir." The waiter took the money and bowed slightly, then closed the door after exiting the room.

"No clues can be seen except this pit." Mira's fingers moved calmly, and a look of expectation appeared on her face, "I'll check my luggage."

She had been to Lucy's house several times before, and her favorite activity was to turn over Lucy's underwear. She often found some styles that made Elsa feel bold.

"...--" Rod did not stop Mira, because if he could get any enlightenment from Lucy's clothes, Luo might be the beneficiary.

"Well, let's take a look at this hole." Rhodes pointed on his nose, and the powerful sense of smell from the Shadow Wolf immediately opened.

The smell of his companions in the air was already very light and could hardly be distinguished. The smell of him and Mira had to be removed, and the smell of the waiter just now was also removed.

It seems that there is a scent that is somewhat impressive but not so familiar. Who will come to?

"Baru Song?" Rod thought for a long time and finally remembered the name, so the hole on the ground looked more familiar.

Is there something happening that needs Baruge to take them out of the tunnel?

Rhode let a ghost float down to check it, but found that the hole was straight up and down, with only the entrance and no exit.

Compared to "hole", it should be called "pit".

A pit in various senses.

If it is not for escaping, then what is the meaning of digging this pit?

What did these people think? Mira came back after finishing her luggage and asked, "How is it?"

Rhode pointed to the pit: "At present, I only know that Baluge may have been here, and this should be what she did. Where are you?

+

"It's a pity." Mira was a little regretful, "It's just ordinary luggage, no slips or distress signals."

"Let's find out here first. Before it gets dark, we'll meet those robbers."

Since Baluge has been here, Xingling should know their movements. Just find a way to ask later. Now we have to solve the entrustment.

Rhodes now hopes that they were kidnapped by the robbers using sleep magic and other means because of their carelessness.

It would be better that the robbers would cover their heads with black cloth pockets.

In this way, he can beat the robbers immediately, and by the way, he can also beat the hostages together as robbers because he can't see his face.

Rhode drew a magic circle of Hex Flying Gate on Lucy's bedboard, and then re-layed the mattress and bedding.

He left a smallest ghost guarding the room, then picked up Mira, jumped out of the window, and flew to Parson Flower Hill.

The destination is more than ten kilometers west of the town, and it only takes a few minutes to fly over.

Parson Flower Mountain is a general term for this hill. From a distance, there are more than 30 hills of all sizes.

Fortunately, it is winter now, except for the pines and cypresses, the rest of the plants and trees are withered. Rhodes soon saw a building suspected to be a robber stronghold in the sky.

He landed at the opposite hill and looked at the building opposite.

It was a three-story fortress, cylindrical in shape, and each floor had windows. Rhodes didn't know whether it should be described as a window or a shooting port, because the opening was too small.

It feels like this stronghold is used to guard against the army's attack.

The man at the door felt stronger than Elfman, and he was braking his iron barely in the winter.

From this point of view, the robbers may not be the kind of guy who relies solely on props now.

Mira asked, "There is someone outside the door, and it seems that he is not wearing armor. Don't you go there directly?"

Rhode said, "We haven't seen how the new magicians fight yet, are you? I plan to let the wild monsters go over and try them first."

Mira wondered, "Didn't you meet it once yesterday?"
