Scene 51 The Long Road, Fragments of the Past V

"Of course." Haruze stammered.

"Thank you, little brother." The little girl thanked her again, then lifted up her skirt and sat down generously next to the future King of Eruin.

However, Haruze obviously had no consciousness of being a crown prince. His face was as red as a ripe apple. He looked like a brother and sister. He just sent people to hire some local hunters and then went directly into the forest.

As long as you grasp this clue, the subsequent tracking will be much easier - Brando's eyes calmed down, he put down the map and asked: "When did those hunters enter the forest?"

"A week ago, sir." The innkeeper accepted the money and naturally did his best to answer the question without hesitation.

One week. Brando pondered for a moment, this time is not long, it is very likely that Enlek has not passed through the northern part of Anlaser Forest at this time.

But it couldn't be any later, they had to leave immediately.

Of course, he still has to gain more advantages before that. He raised his head, and the female knight Laurenna and her fiancé Feras looked at the lord with admiration. Although filtering useful information from useless rumors was difficult for most senior adventurers and servants, For soldiers, it was actually just a basic compulsory course, but in the eyes of 'newbies' like them who had just left home for the first time, Brando immediately rose to the height of wisdom.

At this time, Brando was pulling out a roll of parchment from under his cloak and throwing it in front of the innkeeper: "You, read this."

"Me?" The hotel owner was slightly stunned by Brando's sudden action. In his previous impression, although this young aristocratic man was very capable, the difference between him and those playboys was not too big. But it seemed that all of a sudden, the noble man opposite him changed his appearance. He felt like a sword being drawn out of its sheath, becoming sharper.

Brando clicked on the parchment and nodded to him.

The innkeeper cautiously picked up the parchment and opened it slowly. But he had just finished reading the first row when he almost shuddered and threw the thing out.

"King...Royal Knights...My lord, are you a knight of the royal family?" The innkeeper looked pale and couldn't help but stuttered. As he asked, he wiped away the oily sweat.

Brando nodded - this thing was one of the identities that Princess Griffin appointed him to. In fact, after the battle of Ampelsel, due to the support of the Temple of Fire, the princess's power could almost be regarded as a powerful one. Lu Yin’s orthodoxy. Except for the northern nobles,

Anlek, who colluded with the Union of All Things, had already been declared by the temple as a heinous criminal and wanted.

So now it can be said that the status difference between him and the Duke is completely different from when he just 'stealed' Grudin's title from Tonigel. In the past, his true identity was a bandit, rebel, and bandit, but now Anlek is a cultist expressly wanted by the Temple of Fire.

In this case, of course he must take advantage of this apparent identity reversal. Brando pushed the parchment in front of the innkeeper and said seriously: "So now you understand our identity?"

"Sir... Your Majesty." The bald innkeeper replied sweating profusely.

"Don't worry, we're not here to cause trouble for you." Brando was speechless when he saw this guy was so frightened that he was so scared. He had to say something comforting: "But I can tell you clearly now that the guys who entered the forest before you were asked to investigate are a group of extremely vicious cultists -"

"Sir, are you saying those hunters are cultists?" I don't know where the courage came from, but the hotel owner was surprised and interrupted Brando.

Brando was speechless for a moment, "No, I mean the guys who hired them."

"Oops!" Upon hearing this, the innkeeper suddenly jumped up as if his soles were burned by fire: "So, aren't the hunters who enter the mountains in danger?"

Brando breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that this greedy and philistine guy would actually worry about others, and he couldn't help showing a slight look of admiration. He nodded and said: "That's right, so you hurry up and find the families of those hunters—their wives, daughters, parents, and people who are familiar with them. They must know that the hunters are used to entering the forest during this season. the way."

He paused and continued: "We must catch up with the cultists before they do."

"you understood?"

The bald hotel owner was slightly startled, and immediately nodded and patted his chest to assure Brando that he would find the relevant people immediately. Brando was too lazy to pay attention to this guy and finally sent him away. When he turned around, he saw Freya worried and asked: "Are those hunters really in danger, Brando?"

"The danger is definitely there, but it's not a big problem for the time being," Brando thought for a moment and replied, "At least before leaving the Frost Forest, Enlek will definitely not do anything to them."

"Lord Earl, so what you said before was to let him hurry up?" Laurenna asked with some confusion: "But won't this make the families of those hunters worried?"

Brando shook his head: "If we can catch Anlek, the sooner the better. I'm afraid that guy will be too careful and waste unnecessary time. Besides, it's better to worry than to die." [~] Update quickly

"I understand, you are right." The female knight nodded.

Brando turned his head and watched the hotel owner climb out of the door. His bald head was very conspicuous on the street. He took a gentle breath and looked down at the map spread out on the table. His eyes subconsciously moved to the Lantoniland area, but suddenly, he saw a familiar place name:

Arrucher.

Aruche, Mikaya…

At that moment, a bright electric light flashed in Brando's mind. He couldn't help but scream in his heart, "Fuck, Aruche, Mikaya——"

"That little girl is the future Queen of Witches!"
