Chapter 530 Goodbye Cat Demon

Seeing what the harbor defense officer said, everyone could only go back home and wait.

However, under Xia Fan's instructions, Gungun has begun to dominate the dock area and recruit his men to conquer overseas territories.

In an invisible corner of the city, a battle for Elvis Presley was taking place.

Affected by this "war", the number of rats roaming the streets has doubled, which has even caused panic among some attentive residents. There have been several major plagues recorded in the past, and one of the symptoms was the proliferation of rats. Now the sight of hundreds of rats running on the streets has really touched their sensitive nerves.

Fortunately, this vision went away just as quickly as it came.

After all, Gungun with a background and Mao Jing without a background are two different concepts.

With Li's strong assistance, the change of ownership of the seaport has become a foregone conclusion.

The Judgment Team of the Church of Hera also arrived as scheduled - it must be said that this group of people has a very high reputation in the hearts of the people. When they entered the Azure Castle from the west city gate, tens of thousands of people in the city spontaneously lined the streets to welcome them. Some people threw flower petals, as if they were really the spokespersons of the gods.

Xia Fan also participated in the welcome at a restaurant.

"It's no wonder that the lord doesn't like the arrival of the church. Seeing this attitude, I don't know whether the owner of Azure Castle is the church or the Earl of Cleveland."

"The earl is the owner of the territory, but the church is the ruler that the people want." Olina leaned against the window, with a complicated look in her eyes. "In the eyes of ordinary people, they are willing to treat the poor, willing to kill the monsters and ghosts that are ravaging the area, and they will also walk through the long streets like this and have close contact with the civilians."

Xia Fan had to admit that the church did a good job in promoting itself. The team of fifty people had the momentum of an army. The all-white uniforms with gold edges and red cloaks are as eye-catching as the sun among the people. Even the guards leading the horses are taller than ordinary people. As for the two leaders, they have both good looks and temperament: the man is covered in armor and has a two-handed sword hanging on his back; the woman is wearing a sleeveless slit robe and holding a staff, which looks like various A combination of one battle and one method in the heroic biography story.

Especially the red-haired woman, the slit at the hem of the robe is just right, almost completely exposing her slender legs when she is riding a horse. It is hard to say whether it is suitable for actual combat, but it is definitely an eye-catching tool when worn in daily life—— At least half of the cheers from the crowd on the street were directed at her.

The woman was a little shy but insisted on waving and saying hello to everyone, which made the greeters feel like spring breeze. Even Xia Fan, who was watching in the restaurant, felt the other party's approachable and sincere attitude.

If this is also the image that the church deliberately created, then it can only be said that this person has great acting talent, and that someone from another world would be able to get a soft hand.

"But in the eyes of the nobles, the church is not so harmless, right?"

Olina didn't answer, but her expression gave the answer.

After all, dragonborn are nobles.

But not all dragonborn belong to the church.

There is even a certain conflict between the church and the nobility on the issue of territorial dominance.

Of course, after seeing this scene, Xia Fan also understood that the power of the church was far greater than that of the traditional aristocracy. To maintain the current situation, it required all-out efforts. Fighting against that was pure fantasy.

On the third day, things suddenly changed.

"I have confirmed that the church's judicial team went to the dock and not only randomly inspected several ships, but also sealed several shops!" The news brought back by Li made everyone's expressions sink slightly, "And the person who led the way was the harbor defense. Guan Lassein!”

"I'm going to ask him now what's going on!" There was a hint of anger in Olina's tone, and she was about to walk out the door.

"Wait," Xia Fan quickly stopped her, "just ask the reason, don't conflict with him on the spot. If the church has already intervened, this is not a matter on the Azure Castle side. And our goal is to find the Son of the Holy Spirit as soon as possible , If the church’s tracing efficiency is higher, that is not an unacceptable situation.”

The dragon girl looked at him deeply, then nodded and said, "I will try my best to restrain myself."

Then she walked out of the house, transformed into a dragon, and flew towards the harbor area.

It could be seen that Olina was indeed very angry.

"Is she going to be okay?" Li Lue said worriedly.

"Don't worry, she is also a noble after all, Lasse won't be able to trouble her." Xia Fan replied.

Two hours later, Olina returned to her residence.

"That idiot couldn't bear the pressure of the trial team and accidentally let it slip!" She poured herself a cup of tea angrily. "After the church pressed him again, he confessed all the clues he had found. Clean!”

The thing itself is very simple.

Since there is no progress in the case, the trial team will naturally not look favorably upon the Split Tooth family, and it is only natural to be sarcastic and sarcastic. In anger, Lassein quarreled with the church and boasted that he was not without gain. Because of this sentence, the trial team pried out the clue about the Eastern Talisman and the maritime merchant from him, and immediately launched a search operation.

"If he can endure for a while longer, when we catch the culprit behind the scenes, won't all the credit go to him?" Olina said angrily, "It's better now. At most, the jury will say less about him."

"How do you know that Lassein didn't let it slip on purpose?" Qianyan suddenly said, "On one side are the Orientals whose background is unknown. It's unknown how long it will take to catch the real murderer with them. On the other side is the Church of the Sun God, a force that the family cannot afford to offend. Handing over clues is equivalent to transferring pressure. It is not surprising that they would choose the latter."

The Dragon Girl was speechless for a moment.

"But didn't the defense officer say that it would take five days to get the results? It's only the third day, and the church already knows who to investigate?" Li asked.

Olena took out a list gloomily and slapped it on the table, "He said that there were fewer ships than he expected, and he wanted to send them as soon as possible, but he was entangled by the trial team and couldn't get away for a while."

Now even she knew that this was just an excuse.

"Well done," Xia Fan patted Olena on the back to encourage her, "Having a list is enough. The church investigates the church, and we investigate ours, right? Even if they find the Son of the Holy Spirit first, we can think of other ways to contact them."

"... Yeah." After a long time, the Dragon Girl responded softly.

She suddenly felt that working for this oriental man was not so bad.

Just then, there was an inharmonious noise downstairs.

There were also one or two screams.

Xia Fan couldn't help but frown. When he was about to go downstairs to check the situation, a servant knocked on the door. "Your Excellency the Envoy, we caught a half-beast. She said she came to see you."
