Archer asked Steward Ronne Van Milion if he could start a demon-related investigation right away. Anyway, she is not an aristocrat now, and she can't attend occasions where the aristocrats take formalities.

"Don't worry, the Marquis of Ancient Yard arranged the itinerary for sightseeing in the city for this reason. And the street where the accident happened is still closed, so don't worry about the interference of the people." Roney replied.

"Really, thank you, Lord Marquis...but I dare to ask you, is it okay to hold such a grand banquet at this time?" Arche asked again.

"Did Master Field come up with this idea because his family was deprived of his title? But it is indeed an important propaganda, and it is a part of showing national strength to the surrounding countries, proving that our country is not afraid of demons, and that the empire did not arise due to demon turmoil. Any decline will never become timid due to the raging of demons." Roney explained.

This made Archue, who was already feeling unpredictable, slightly taken aback: "Then, my father's kind..."

Roney said patiently: "Master Field is the pillar of the empire. If you graduated two years earlier and got an important position, maybe your family would not be deprived of the title. Demonstrations at the national level are different from individual demonstrations. I have to say that Field's previous The performance of the owner is really bad."

Arche half-closed her eyes and said, "...What makes me sad is that there is absolutely no room for excuses for my father's bad comments."

"Next, are you going to visit the senior adventurers and guards who participated in the battle?"

"It's definitely the process that needs to be done, but I've hired someone similar to assist with this and it saves a lot of time, can the cost be factored into the travel budget?"

"If it is verified that there is no water in the expenses, it is indeed possible. Some nobles also have private channels for mercenaries and adventurers. If there is a need to hire external personnel, they will be given priority. It is often the case, and the important thing is how to prevent kickbacks and corruption. .”

Despite the catastrophe not long ago, the streets were still bustling and bustling, but with the advancement of tens of minutes of walking, the population has become thinner.

"Hey—how about me for the investigation? If you want to shorten the time, it's important to have more people?" Suddenly, someone interrupted with a high profile.

Of course, the higher-ups will not fail to arrange enough manpower, but it will probably take a while to convene through the process, plus various meeting times.

"By the way, my name is Clementine, please give me your advice." The person who intervened then said with a smile.

The two were startled, turned their heads back, and saw that it was the maid from before, and there was no special intersection on the way.

Arche was even more shocked that she didn't notice it. Even if she didn't cast the warning magic, the experience and senses she gained from doing black work for a long time were not for nothing, even though she had already seen that the maid was probably an assassin type character. , but although very cute, at this time exudes a distorted temperament that is different from the harmlessness of humans and animals before, as if she said that if she wants to assassinate, she will never sneak in to complete the goal, but kill all witnesses to cover up people's eyes and ears.

Although she has doubts about this kind of person serving as a nobleman's guard, she feels that it is more convincing to say that she is doing something invisible to the nobleman, but it is meaningless to think about the arrangement of the Marquis here, she remained vigilant and said, "What can you do? "

Clementine said: "Is it to investigate the devil? Before you came, you also considered that since the opponent was repelled, in addition to confirming that the goal cannot be achieved, it is also possible that the strength is not as strong as showing the scale of the magic phenomenon, but relying on The result of the item being realized, and the other party is also looking for a demon-related item, right?"

"That's the message from the Temple," Roney said.

"That's right. If the direction of this investigation is correct, once I find it, I can immediately confirm how to use the item and what level it is in." Clementine said.

"After all, this is just a possibility." Archer paused and asked, "Then how much experience do you have in using magic? You don't need to perform it yourself. After all, you can accumulate knowledge and experience by using magic in other ways."

The reason for asking this question is because she has the same natural ability as Fluder. It can be seen that Clementine does not know level magic at all. Like that, that's another matter.

"Magic is not my forte, but the level of the third level is fine, do you need me to show it?" Clementine pulled out the short awl and twirled it in his hand.

"It's not necessary, it's enough to know. Then you should be able to use this." Arche reached into the inner pocket of the white robe and took out a few times, and took out two large bells of different colors, the size was just right for holding Or clamp it between your fingers, "The copper one can identify the magic props that appear within five meters of the opponent, and make the magic props glow when it rings; the silver one can confirm the coordinates that have been affected by the magic props, and the reaction method is the same. Main shake It has a larger detection range but can only be used three times a day. Miss Clementine will start here first."

"Ah... is that right, there should be a limit to the location? I don't want to do the job of patrolling for no reason." Clementine said in a boring tone while holding the bell.

"Lord Van Milion." Archer looked at Rone.

So, he took out the map and pointed out some designated places. The area where all the population and wealth were swept away by the devil's circle were all public facilities. There were no public facilities related to magic, but there were several strongholds of underground criminal organizations related to magic. If you want to have a conflict with the devil, there is the biggest suspicion.

Some of them have been evacuated by demons, but there are still hidden ones—after the Imperial Intelligence Agency intervened to find out some clues, these places are very suspicious~lightnovelpub.net~It is said that it is a place that is said to be called by the underground society. It is a huge underground criminal organization called "Eight Fingers". It is said that one of the four gods, the **** of earth, has eight fingers. So it may be a temple that was destroyed long ago due to religious conflicts with the temple of the **** of fairies. related.

If there is a criminal leader among the people taken away, the demon may come back after the information is tortured, so at least in this aspect of the investigation, it is best to race against time.

"Thank you, let's split up, shall we?" Clementine said.

Arche: "Well, I'll leave it to you. With your strength, even if there is a trap, you can easily crack it, but if you find something strange, don't move around, is that clear?"

Clementine: "Yes, I know, I know, I'm still going to die."

Archer: "Your Excellency Van Milion, the next trip may be dangerous, you go back and report to Lord Marquis and Lord Earl first?"

Roney: "Master, don't worry, just leave it to me."
