It was still past 1 pm when Erica walked out of the Turkish restaurant. Although the lunch took much longer than she expected, overall Erica was somewhat satisfied.

Although she didn't like Turkish food very much and she tried her best to restrain her appetite, but unfortunately, due to many inexplicable reasons, Erica was ultimately unable to suppress the hungry beast in her belly.

It took Erica more than an hour to almost eat up all the food reserves in this restaurant. Of course, fortunately, the prices in this Turkish restaurant are reasonably priced, so Erica only paid 3 gold coins.

And a bill of 11 silver coins. Fortunately, because it was close to the afternoon, the number of diners in the restaurant decreased significantly, so my bad image of overeating was not seen by too many people.

At this time, Erica was too lazy to care about the shocked looks in the restaurant. Instead, she quickly put on her cloak and disappeared into the crowded streets. Although there were fewer humans on the streets in the afternoon than in the morning.

There are a lot less, and even street vendors and street performers rarely appear. After all, according to local customs, people actually prefer to stay in pubs and have a drink than to go shopping. For this reason, Ai

Before Rika left this street corner, she could see the lively scene of every tavern she passed by with all the seats packed and people changing glasses.

Of course, Erica was also a little bit tempted by the smell of alcohol permeating the whole street, but considering the next action, Erica gritted her teeth, pinched her arm and ran out of this alluring street quickly. However,

Before Erica left, she paid careful attention to the location and features of the street, so she planned to wait until the mission was over before taking Diana and everyone here to have a good meal.

Erica quickly returned to the original street intersection, and there were already many pedestrians passing by on the inner street where no one had passed by in the morning. There were even two parade floats being decorated and assembled in the street.

.It seems that there will be some kind of parade on the street in the afternoon or evening, and although the decorations on the floats are a bit subtle, they should be the lanterns used at night. For this reason, although it may look inconspicuous now, but wait until

Maybe there will be something special at night. But right now Erica is too lazy to care about things at night, because the opportunity now is very rare, so Erica feels that if she sneaks in at this time, she will not be easily noticed by people on the street.

For this reason, she saw a suitable fact and slowly blended into the street behind a group of women carrying goods without attracting anyone's attention.

As Erica moved deeper into the street, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians around her. It wasn't until Erica reached an intersection that she stopped and hid in a corner without attracting anyone's attention.

Located in a very dilapidated abandoned house.

Ahead is probably the abandoned area that Piram mentioned. Although it is called like this, it is not that there are no residents at all. At least there are still a few sporadic residents in the residential area where Erica is. "Abandoned."

The reason why the people called it this area is actually because the design of these buildings was not reasonable in some aspects, which caused the loss of residents in this area, and finally became an abandoned residential area with almost no people living there.

Of course, Erica didn't bother to delve into the specific reasons for the abandonment of this area. I heard that it would take at least a few years to rebuild this area. After all, the area expanded by Trikla City last time was quite large, plus the urban population in recent years.

The growth is slow, so there are actually many abandoned residential areas like this in the entire city of Trikla. At this moment, Erica came to an abandoned and empty residential house. She carefully hid in the hidden part of the balcony and observed secretly.

The "Round Hall Villa" style building stands out from the crowd in the distance.

"That should be the rumored Allor Theater, but then again, the appearance of this theater really looks like the Rotunda Villa in Vicenza." Erica used a telescope to spy on the theater building.

The appearance of this dome villa in another world is quite shocking, but there are quite a few differences between it and the original one.

The sculptures and patterns on the building are the most obvious places. Perhaps it is to highlight the characteristics of the local culture. In short, the original sculptures of figures outside the building have all been replaced with lifelike sculptures of beasts, even on the top of the dome.

There is also a faded and rusty eagle-shaped sculpture, which really has a "Michael-style" architectural aesthetic.

When Erica was observing the theater building, she took the opportunity to take out her camera to take pictures of this artistic building. After sighing for a while, she changed her perspective and observed the situation around the theater.

Strictly speaking, Erica has not yet figured out what this strange religion is all about. Judging from the intelligence analysis, they act quite carefully and are a little meticulous. At the same time, Erica initially accepted Kelly.

The information provided by Si believes that the Judas Order is a ridiculous liar group. But since they secretly accepted the stronghold donated by others for development, they should be on high alert. Not only is it centered on this opera house

All the way to the entrance of the street, there should be heavy surveillance by the subordinates. At least there should be some guard warning on the front at the entrance of the stronghold. You must know that even the highway robbers that Erica dealt with on the road are robbing them.

There will always be people following you when you walk. This religious gang with a "big family and a big business" shouldn't even have guards or thugs. Otherwise, it wouldn't be too difficult to hire some local gangsters to act as spies.

Erica sighed deeply. She always felt that the other party's unguarded and even ridiculous appearance was really unorganized. But from another point of view, if the other party was really just a normal religious group, maybe

All these incongruous things make sense. But Erica does not think that the other party is an ordinary religious group. Maybe they are indeed a group of ordinary missionaries, but this religion may not be an ordinary belief, at least an ordinary belief.

It won't attract the attention of the Goddess of Disaster, or it may be a trap that brings disaster to his subordinates.

After all, it is unlikely that a god of calamity would be interested in a religious group composed of ordinary people. Even if she wanted to know the inside story of this religion, she could actually rely on her own abilities or assign some holy guards or something like that.

Surveillance, sincerity may not be of use to a mediocre mortal like myself.

However, Erica is just complaining in her heart at the moment, and will not really bring these complaints to the task. And although she is still using the camera to shoot the old theater, she has changed from shooting the landscape to focusing.

on someone in the theater.

Erica quickly turned off the camera and then picked up the observation glass and zoomed in to look at a corner in the inner courtyard of the opera house, which seemed to be the back of the opera house, through an empty window with no coverings on both sides.

Then Erica saw a very familiar face in the backyard.

Kohler Nassus, Erica was anxious about the other person's appearance. Although Master Kohler did not come out of the carriage and show his face when the riots occurred outside the city yesterday, he hid in the carriage window many times at that time.

Looking back at the scene outside, Erica saw Khloe's face because she was relatively close at the time.

"It's unmistakable, it's him." Erica enlarged the viewing glass and finally saw clearly Kohler who was chatting with people in the backyard of the theater.

Unfortunately, Erica does not have a monitoring device and cannot lip read, so Erica has no idea what Kohler said, which really makes Erica a little discouraged.

"It looks like we can only do close reconnaissance... No surprise..." Just as Erica was observing the surrounding terrain and planning to find a suitable route to reach the theater, she inadvertently saw another familiar face appear again.

Around the theater, although she was somewhat surprised, Erica smiled helplessly for some reason and muttered: "It seems... this lady is not from the religious group, but... she is going to

What are you doing? Is it possible that you are also here to investigate the sect?"

The clumsy female figure on the street corner not far away is Miss Abigail Vermeulen, who also had a small conflict yesterday. Although she is also wearing a cloak to cover her face, it is difficult to hide her beautiful face.

He lived there, so Erica easily recognized the other person’s identity.

Although Erica guessed from Abigail's physique that her athletic ability was not bad, having a good physique did not mean that she was professional in certain aspects. At least she had seen her clumsy and ridiculous hiding methods many times in a row.

After the act, Erica couldn't hold it back again and laughed again.

Yes, on the other hand, Miss Abigail's clumsy concealment failed to arouse the vigilance from the sect. Therefore, Erica almost thought that there might not be any secret spy. Anyway, from this point on

To put it bluntly, Erica felt a little more relaxed. At least it seemed that the other party might not be some evil organization. Of course, it was also possible that the other party had discovered Abigail but did not come out to drive her away or arrest her.

To capture the other party, and Erica is not sure about Abigail’s real purpose of coming here, but in any case, Abigail’s appearance still provided Erica with some reference help, so she continued to observe for a while.

After that, Erica was ready to leave the abandoned residential building and approach the opera house again.

Just as Erica bypassed Abigail and tried to get closer to the opera house, Diana, who was quickly shuttling through a secret passage on the other side, just arrived at the exit.

Diana was slightly shocked when she quickly rushed out of the dim passage and entered the brighter underground street, but then she quickly hid in a hidden place and corrected herself without being discovered.

"Oh, I can't believe that these people are really generous." Diana scanned the scenery and compared the contents shown on the magic map to determine her position and distance, and then quietly spoke to the upper level of the ground through the intercom.

Galeni and Thea asked: "How are you doing there? Hasn't the auction started yet?"

"Yes... but a lot of people have gathered below, and it will probably start soon." Thea responded quickly, but her tone seemed a little tired.

"Thea? What's wrong with you?" Diana asked casually.

"No...it's nothing...it's just..." Thea reluctantly breathed out a smile.

"It's okay, I'm just teaching her magic." Galeni responded at this time and explained: "This little girl's magic system is so crazy. Has anyone modified her?"

"Transformation?" Diana suddenly became alert and then asked: "What transformation?"

"Well... there are so many conflicting magic systems in her body. This is impossible to happen. But a long time ago, I remembered that there was a human madman in the Borderlands. He used many people

Similar transformations were carried out, which resulted in a large number of deaths. Later, this matter was handled by the roving hunters. I still remember how chaotic and terrifying some of the transformed magic systems were at that time..." Jialaini suddenly paused.

After a while, Diana heard what she seemed to be whispering: safety and encouragement to Thea. After a while, she continued: "This little girl's condition is a little different, so I don't dare to draw conclusions.

Just asking casually. Also...why does the necklace she wears emit the aura of the gods when she casts a spell?"

"That is a necklace with "Divine Blessing" attached to it, which is used to adjust and relieve the burden caused by the chaotic magic power in her body." Diana thought about what Jialani had just said, and she always felt that Jialani

Her judgment must not have been made out of nothing. Perhaps she must have sensed something and connected the two things together.

But on the other hand, Diana didn’t know much about Thea’s past, or in fact, Thea herself didn’t know why she was like this. Originally, Diana thought that her physique was natural, but after Yael’s

After testing, it was found that this was not the case. It was just that Yael, who was a holy guard at the time, did not know much about this aspect, so he had to first get Thea an ornament with "Divine Blessing" as a relief, and later even Elena

Everyone was confused at this time, so Diana later eased the matter.

Today, after hearing Galeni's story, Diana was somewhat cautious. Maybe what Galeni just said does have something to do with Thea's condition, but now is not the time to explore this matter, because

Diana had no choice but to keep this in mind.

Diana seizes the time to move quickly along the crowded location, and at the same time, she also opens her perception and magic detection range to the maximum. After all, Diana has no idea about the whereabouts of the two captured elves, and

It was also impossible to distinguish the detailed information of unmarked targets on the magic map, so Diana had to use this stupid method to directly sense the breath of her fellow elves to track down their whereabouts.

Speaking of which, Diana originally thought about involving Galeni or Puffy in this matter, but Galeni didn't seem to be too concerned about the missing members of the Merylgil clan, while Puffy was more concerned about it.

It was more appropriate, but Diana was worried that this matter would open up old wounds for her, so after some consideration, Diana had to go into battle herself to carry out the infiltration investigation.

As for Puffy, neither Diana nor Erica kept it secret. For this reason, Puffy herself did not know that her companions who were sold as slaves were in this city. After all, Diana and the others

But to prepare for the worst, the two trafficked fellow elves of Meryl Gil have been missing for at least two months, so no one knows what kind of torture they will suffer in these two months. Don't tell me.

If they are men, they will survive in some aspects. In fact, Diana, who has some knowledge about humans, knows very well that in terms of elf slaves, men have a more cruel fate than women. In addition, the characteristics of the Meryl Gil clan itself are

The beautiful face, and some licentious nobles on the human side also like this very much.

Diana had seen some tortured male elven slaves elsewhere in the past, and the tragic end was really unspeakable. However, most of them were from southern elves, not the people of Ishka. After all, humans

By nature, they bully the weak. Compared to the superpowers in the north, the small tribes of elven clans in the south are often invaded and persecuted by humans.

In short, Diana didn't dare to guarantee to Puffy that she would be able to rescue her two comrades of the same race. For this reason, she tried her best to hide it from Puffy, just to prevent the worst case scenario.

Choosing not to rescue but to let them go directly. Although it is a bit cruel, it is still a good thing to accompany a lifetime of mental torture. Moreover, Diana is not sure about the specific whereabouts of the two Meryl Gil elves at the moment, but she is not clueless.

Rampage in this underground dark street. At least judging from certain human desires, certain facilities in the dark street are Diana's primary exploration targets. At the same time, Diana is also determined to break out of the siege if she encounters any accident.

.

Diana sniffed the various filthy smells in the dark street and found a nearby suspicious target point. Unfortunately, even though Diana was directly attached to the location only separated by a wall from the "busy" place inside, she still didn't sense anything.

The smell of the elves' companions and the pungent smell wafting from the ventilation window behind the wall really made Diana feel a little nauseous. For this reason, she walked around again and quickly left the place.

Diana came to a higher position and took a bird's-eye view of the dark street. Although the whole dark street was indeed very large, fortunately there were few people in the street at the moment, so it was coupled with scattered light sources here and there.

It looked very depressed and dilapidated.

But from another perspective, there is such an incredible underground street hidden under a very important capital. It seems that it is not unreasonable for Archduke Michael to target the black market. After all, ordinary black markets are just cities.

It’s just some shady transactions in the area, but the black market here is like an underground world that can accommodate tens of thousands of people. If such a dangerous area containing filth and evil is not cleared away, Arubag will never sleep peacefully for a day.

.Anyway, Diana also knew that Arubaig planned to attack the underground streets in the near future. For this reason, she also took this opportunity to memorize some of the terrain facilities in the underground streets as much as possible in order to prepare for them after going out.

Inform Archduke Michael or Chris of this information.

"So... where is the next one...?" After getting ready, Diana glanced at the next target, then jumped steadily from the height and quickly disappeared without anyone noticing.
