town Hall.

   Parliament Hall.

  The councillors gathered around the long table, and the shrill whispers gathered in the hall above the hall, forming a disturbing hum.

   "The appearance of the exorcist is still fresh in my memory, but maybe it's a trick to us."

   "Why do you think so? We didn't provoke him."

   "He's from Midnight City, which is full of weirdness. It's the weirdo who brought him, and the weirdo around him. He's not from our side."

   "You think Midnight City made him do this?"

   "We've always been at odds with them, you know that."

  …

   "Sugru, you stupid dwarf melon! You even send an invitation letter to see if he is your own!"

   "Shhh, be quiet. You're stupid, Brent. Do you think these people really care about the position of the exorcist? Even if the exorcist turns into a weirdo, people can render him a tragic hero."

   "But you're still too risky, Sugarlo, you're gambling."

   "It's worth it. We won't lose too much bet if we lose, and we won...you see how crazy those townspeople are about exorcists."

  …

   "We reap the consequences. Look at those people outside... The prestige all gathered in a flash to the person we didn't know about before."

   "Come on, your family is from the survivors of King Ellen, don't you know the exorcist?"

   "Okay...I just think they're crazy and that's not a good thing."

"It has nothing to do with us. He will not be interested in the position of the councillor. As long as we do not provoke him, he will not provoke us. What we need to worry about is the mayor. The prestige exorcist will threaten his position. ."

  …

   "I'm not worried about that."

   The top floor of the city hall, the mayor's office.

  The mayor of Wiener Freeze, Matthew Knox, stood by the window.

   In the far bay, a rusty ship is being slowly towed by a tugboat to the shipyard.

  People are no longer as frightened as they were at the beginning, watching outside the port, and even some children dared to go up close to observe the big ship.

   "Mayor and exorcist are two different jobs. People will think he's a legend, a hero, but not a good mayor."

   "But just in case."

His assistant stood behind him: "There will be many councilors who can't help but come into contact with the exorcist. Even if he is not interested in the mayor's seat, those councilors will flank him on the stage, plus the believers-like citizens— "

"I'm tired."

   Mayor Mateus Knox sighed: "These councillors who never leave the city are almost forgetting the horrors outside, and just focus on climbing, having fun, and fighting."

The assistant    shook his head gently: "They won't forget, they're just more greedy."

   Mayor Mateus Knox was silent for a moment, then turned around and asked, "What is the purpose of that exorcist coming to Wiener Freeze Harbor?"

   "Find an evil spirit called Maiden's Shadow, and the merchant's body preserved in the Greater Monterey Museum."

   "Girl's Shadow... Any more news?"

   "I didn't find out, many of these evil spirits that suddenly disappeared were killed by higher-ranking beings."

   "Tell the following to continue the investigation, what is he doing now?"

   "Seems to be going to the Greater Monterey Museum.

   "You go to escort, remember to send my greetings."

"OK."

The assistant    nodded a few times and walked out.

"and many more."

  The hesitant Mayor Mateus Knox stopped him.

"I will go with you."

  …

  Lu Li was temporarily arranged at the foreign embassy in Wiener Antifreeze Port.

   But compared to usual, the internal and external protection of foreign embassies has increased tenfold.

   All ambassadors and servants from other cities were driven to the first floor. The second and third floors were guarded by guards, while the entire fourth floor had only a few people from Lu Li.

   Katarina leaned against the window with her chest folded. The guards formed a wall downstairs, and the crowd was crowded together in darkness, occasionally exposing the flash of the spotlight.

   "The people here are much crazier than Midnight City." She couldn't help but say.

   Wiener Freeze Harbor is as gloomy and misty as Midnight City, but with a wider view. She could see industrial areas with smoke rising from the depths of the land, and bustling ports in the bay, and a moving black line on a distant hill.

  Phusius said it was called a steam train, similar to a convoy but faster and more convenient, and it was the steam technology of the old days.

   No strangers wary of each other, no eerie pagans, no disturbing silhouettes of black robes.

   It seems more beautiful than Midnight City...

   knock knock --

   There was a knock on the door, and Lu Li in the sofa looked up at the open door.

  The middle-aged man outside the door introduced himself: "I'm Mateus Knox, the mayor of Wiener Frozen Harbor. Nice to meet you, exorcist Lu Li."

   The visit of the mayor of Wiener Antifreeze was abrupt. They should have invited Lu Li at a dinner party or the mayor, instead of visiting directly.

   However, considering Lu Li's reputation, no political opponent will use this to criticize Matthaus Knox.

   "Caterina, Physius." Lu Li introduced Matteus Knox.

   He didn't mention the eldest sister's head, her legs were just sewn up, and she fell asleep in the hood.

  Mateus Knox nodded to Katarina, and paused slightly when he landed on Purse.

  Puseus was also a little afraid of strangers, so he hung his ears and tucked his tail and did not speak.

   "Puseus was once a human being, but turned into an alien due to pollution." Lu Li said.

  Mateus Knox nodded and stopped talking about this topic: "My assistant said that you are going to the Greater Monterey Museum, and I can do my best as a landlord."

  Prussia is here to stay. Lu Li and Katerina rode in the mayor's car, the latest little Henry II steam car, drove out of the crowd, and were escorted to the museum.

   After the freshness of the comfortable carriage, Katerina's eyes were drawn to the street with envy.

  The wide bay, the hustle and bustle of the port, the continuous buildings, the industry and steam, the bustling streets, everyone who comes to the Wiener Freeze Harbor will fall in love with it.

  Mateus Knox looked at it, but unfortunately he couldn't see the change in Lu Li's expression.

   "Is the food people eat according to the standards of the Terminus Association?" Lu Li suddenly asked.

   Unlike Katerina, he saw the truth behind the surface.

   "...Part of it is," the assistant replied, a question that should not have been said by the mayor.

   In other words, most people cannot eat low-pollution foods.

   Looking out of the car window, the citizens on the street rarely see the elderly, most of them are children and young people.

  Vena’s Frozen Harbor is extremely resistant to weirdness, and there is no old sewers like Midnight City to accommodate Inhumans... The fate of polluted people will not be better than that of the Badlands.

  The steam car suddenly slowed down, and the assistant caught up from behind, ran along, and whispered something to the co-pilot, Mayor Matthew Knox.

   Mayor Mateus Knox nodded, turned around and said to Lu Li, "The ship that brought you resisted entering the ship repair yard."
