Gangdian City.

On the easternmost side of the transport area, Gran Street, known as the "major artery".

A member of the military service members wearing standard clothing, based on red and black, was maintaining order on the streets, and they were allegiants of the ancient nobles.

After the turmoil was calmed down in a crushing state by the Red Saints from the War Church, the entire city-state stabilized again, and the streets and urban areas that were originally in chaos began to be taken over by the loyalists of the ancient nobles.

They arranged manpower and organized the work of "post-disaster reconstruction".

The loyalists are like modern firefighters, scattered in the collapsed city ruins, searching for lucky survivors, or rescue cold bodies, and sending them to the incineration site outside the city for centralized cremation.

Unless a claimed relative takes the body away and burys, the primary goal after the catastrophe is over is to prevent the birth of the plague and cause secondary harm to the survivors.

A middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance but with red wine eyes is walking in the ruined city.

His eyes glanced around but he could not find a hunting believer. Suddenly, he vaguely guessed the reason.

As the hunting church that caused all disasters and chaos, it is also the loser of this dispute, so naturally he has to accept punishment.

All hunters who participated in the action, as well as all members of the tourer, may have been kept in prison by the Snow Sacrifice Church and the ancient nobles. Of course, they claimed to be investigated, and in order to maintain a stable situation, they did not over-stimulate the hunting church. More than half of them would be released from misdemeanors, and only the senior members responsible for taking the lead would be sentenced to severe punishment.

However, in order to take care of the face of the hunting church, they will probably be sent back to the "Canda Tree Domain" Yuan, the sacred place of the hunting church, where they will conduct internal judgments... Other churches or ancient nobles are not qualified to judge them.

This is the current situation of the cold soil in the north, a peaceful situation that is crumbling and hard to maintain...Surman sighed in his heart, and then, he suddenly stopped and looked forward quietly.

In front of his sight, a collapsed orphanage appeared in his sight.

There was originally a two-story building, but the upper floor completely collapsed and covered with dark green branches.

Half of the lower floor was also destroyed, leaving only half of the hall supporting the building's wreckage, which was deserted and dilapidated, like ancient ruins.

In front of the iron fence, the middle-aged security guards who were originally employed were gone, but in the open space in front of the iron gate, there were objects covered with white cloth. They were much smaller than adults, and the shortest was only at Surman's waist.

In front of the white cloth, there was a cute girl with a round face. She was wearing work clothes, her face was stained with dust, and she was no longer clean and tidy. She seemed to have experienced a thrilling journey, with fatigue and sadness on her body.

Anne...Surman's heart moved, and following her gaze, she saw a corpse that was obviously taller than other bodies. Judging from the outline, it seemed to be a young man, which made Surman feel vaguely familiar.

This...is this a member of the Steam Squad? Surman guessed the identity of the victim. The next second, he saw Anne notice the movement and turned to look at him. His eyes were red with doubts: "First... sir, do you have anything to do?"

Surman was slightly stunned. The next moment, he had already thought of the reason: "I...I came to adopt a little boy by a friend, haha, he said that the little boy was very smart. As my stepson, he would definitely be able to handle huge wealth."

"Friend? He, is he a person with a particularly good-looking appearance?" Annie's face looked slightly happy, and the sorrow on her face faded a little.

Miss Anne, you should keep your mourn on serious occasions and not show your happiness...Surman complained in his heart, trying to tighten his face, pretending to be objective and calm, saying, "Yes."

After saying this, Surman felt a fever on his face and a sense of shame in his heart, and a faint trend of explosion growth.

"Sorry, your expectations cannot be fulfilled..." Annie looked at the ground with white cloth next to her. Surman followed her gaze and understood the other party's meaning. For a moment, his heart was a little heavy, but before he could think about it, he heard Annie's inquiry:

"Sir, do you know about Surman's situation, as a friend of Suerman?"

"Surman is safe, but, given the chaos in Gangdian City, he has left the city-state and headed for another civilized area."

"Indeed, as a bounty hunter, he wouldn't always stay in one place, but it was a little suddenly. He hadn't greeted me yet...ah! I mean, as a friend, he should come to see me." Anne was slightly disappointed, but she immediately realized something and looked at the middle-aged gentleman opposite him with help: "He, when he entrusted you to adopt, did you mention it..."

"He asked me to visit the caring and cute Miss Anne, well, is you Anne? I, I think your description is quite similar to his...." Surman was flawless and lies, and at the same time, he felt a book in his arms trembling faintly, as if reminding its existence.

This...is this funny by my performance? Surman's expression became stiff, and at the same time, he realized that he had a "personal audience" and was witnessing his wonderful performance.

"Ah! He...he said too exaggeratedly." Annie looked slightly drunk and lowered her head shyly. Then, a slightly confused voice came from under her head and gently came into Surman's ears: "By the way, since Surman and Suerman are friends, then I can take the liberty to ask, what do you think? Regarding the view of this disaster, I, I mean if-"

"This disaster was caused by man, but the force as the murderer did not receive the punishment he deserved."

"On the contrary, they pushed the fault to another object, propaganda was done by a hateful secret organization, and... and I know the truth but cannot change it. I, I think this world should not be like this!"

When Suerman listened to her words, he grasped the truth in his heart—

As an investigator of the Steam Squad, Anne has the information channels of the Steam Church, well, they have always been well informed in terms of information.

It seems that she got the new news. After the Hunting Church gave up its plan, the Snow Sacrifice Church and the ancient nobles calmed down the situation, but in order not to cause greater disputes, Gangdian City became the fuse of the two major churches. So they pushed the cause of the disaster to... Qishenghui? Hiss, this... Qishenghui took the blame again? Surman only felt sour and wanted to laugh, but it was not suitable for the occasion.

At the same time, he also felt Annie's feelings and understood the other person's confusion.

After all, the mobile castle under the jurisdiction of the Steam Church, steam believers are educated and are basically isolated from the world. When their outlook on life encounters such a thing in the outside world, they will have an unimaginable impact.

"If you can't change it, it's a lack of ability." Surman recalled how the middle school teacher fooled him when he was not good at the exam in his previous life, and gave it to the workwear girl according to the script:

"If you think about it carefully, if you are not a middle and lower investigator, but a deacon-level member, or even a saint."

"You have energy that is so huge that other people cannot ignore. At that time, your ideas can change them and let the results be realized according to your wishes... After all, as long as you are strong enough, you can naturally change everything."

As long as you do well in the exam, even the teacher will take care of you...Surman silently complained, "Why educate the confused girl?" He knows this question! As long as you instill a lot of inspirational chicken soup, let the other party have a long-term goal and keep working hard...When she becomes really strong, the current confusion in life has long been left behind by her, so how could she still think about it?

These are all routines!

As the victim of the exam-oriented education, Surman faced the confused girl with a smile like a life tutor on his face.

"I...I understand! Thank you, sir!"

Anne bowed deeply to him as if she was injected with chicken blood. Then, she was about to leave the orphanage when she remembered important things again, and her tone trembled slightly: "Yes... By the way, if you still have contact with Surman, next time... remember to ask me... Hello!"

Responding to her was the back of Surman who waved his hand slightly while turning around and leaving.

.............

No. 73 Nancy Street, townhouse.

Surman stood in front of the relatively complete house, not too much affected, with a slightly dazed expression, as if the familiar scene in front of him outlined his many memories of the blonde girl.

However, as the mysterious side profession at the peak of the second level, Surman's high mysterious attribute bonus brought with him the outstanding perception that he could detect that there were pairs of eyes watching him in the nearby grass.

Is this the staff arranged by the ancient aristocrats? Yes, Scarlett attaches great importance to his friends. After such a serious incident, she must have arranged personnel to find her whereabouts. As the residence of "Arthur Doyle" in front, they must be the focus of their surveillance.

Surman did not come forward to open the door, nor did he contact the ancient nobles.

He didn't plan to reveal his identity, it would be nice to leave like this... As for things that stayed at home, Ebis was gone anyway, so it was meaningless to bring them with him. Talent is the most important thing - to improve his strength as soon as possible and find her, which is more meaningful than seeing things and thinking about love.

"It's time to leave..."

Surman tidied up his hat and turned away from Nancy Street.

................

In front of the transport ship of the Tyre River, a woman with black veil quietly looked at the fully armed people in front of her.

"Mr. Selena, please don't try to escape. Come back to the 'Carry Tree Domain' with me." The young woman dressed in a hunting believer, wearing leather armor and long boots, and a serious expression said seriously to her former 'boss' in front of her.

"I understand, you don't have to be so vigilant." Selena looked at them, her face was gone. On the contrary, she was once the chief of the tourers and also the 'Black Butterfly', and said softly: "The first insurance measure is Jenkins, the escaped descendant of the Stuart family. Unfortunately, he died early after an accident, and was not enough to be the object of the fault..."

"The second insurance measure is to be the priest of the parish in Gangdian City and the chief among the sermons...I, right?"

Selena seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with herself. The next moment, under the vigilant gaze of everyone, she smiled gently, took the natural rope that imprisoned her power and handed it on her hands. Then, she walked towards the transport ship with grace, as if she was going to attend a banquet.

"Let's go... I hope the acquaintances on the judges can give me some face."

Selena muttered to herself softly. Suddenly, she seemed to sense some sight. She turned around and glanced around the shore, but did not see the familiar person she remembered. She withdrew her gaze with some self-deprecating look. The next moment, she turned around and walked into the transport ship.
