Mystic Dominator

That night, a man and a woman entered the city along with the flow of people.

According to the people who live here, the atmosphere in [Giorno] City today is much more serious than any other day in the past.

Because it was just this morning.

The seven political officers under the ruler Paplor, the top of the cult sorcerer organization, and one of the seven holders of the original code.

He was killed outside the city by people of unknown origin, and no bones were left.

The same thing is happening in other parts of the world, and now the entire city should go into martial law mode and all access to and from the city should be closed.

But the way the cult warlocks manage is not understandable to ordinary people.

After only one afternoon of rigorous investigation, after internal trials and the arrest of several spellcasters, the city's operations quickly returned to normal. It is said that even the new candidates for political affairs officers have passed the internal review.

And under this action of inquiring about the situation, before [Giorno] City entered the curfew, Ronald and Patricia found the hotel where they would spend the night.

To be fair, of course Ronald wanted to find Heloise right away.

But think about everything that happened today…

They had just killed a political officer of the cult warlock in the morning, and violated curfew in the evening to find Heloise. Even with the strong strength as the backing, this is a bit too much.

In the hotel, Patricia placed the lit oil lamp in front of Ronald:

"Ronald, how do you feel?"

Right in front of the table, Ronald was concentrating on casting detection spells.

At this moment, Patricia asked, and he frowned and shook his head:

"No, it's difficult to lock the position with magic alone."

"If it were in an ordinary country, in a city of this size, I would be able to screen out the specific situation after spending two days seriously."

"But the residents of this city... to be honest, almost every one of them is making my job harder, and it's definitely not something that can be done in a short time.

"

After talking about what he had just discovered, Ronald reached out and scratched his hair irritably.

According to previous investigations, Heloise should be in this city now.

But because of this reason, Ronald could not immediately bring her back to him. The trouble caused by this situation is really helpless and uncomfortable.

The fastest way to find Heloise now is to follow the original plan step by step.

Seeing Ronald's irritable look, Patricia stepped forward and gently stretched out her hand to rub Ronald's messy hair:

"Ronald, it's not going too badly now."

"If you know she is a businessman, it shouldn't be too difficult to find her."

Just like Patricia said.

Heloise returned to her old business and became a businessman.

According to the information obtained from Noela, she is now hiding in this city, selling tobacco in an inconspicuous shop.

"Thank you, I'm a little anxious." Ronald thanked Patricia and then reflected on himself, "You really can't rush this kind of thing, especially when it has reached this level of progress."

Patricia nodded slightly to Ronald, then sat down at the bottom of the table:

"But then again, Ronald, don't you think this city is too strange?"

"Even if it is ruled by a cult warlock, there is no reason for the entire city to turn into such a...'maverick' character in just a few months, right?"

Faced with such a problem, Ronald was unsure:

"The rate of change of people's hearts has always been unruly, unruly, and unpredictable. But under the rule of cult sorcerers... ordinary people have seen terrible sorcery, been affected by evil spells, and even yearned for this kind of thing. Extraordinary power.”

"What will happen in this backward land is impossible to guess."

Patricia also nodded:

"A cult warlock manages a country. This kind of thing has never happened before. In short, we should proceed with caution. After all, we have already had an original code holder..."

Patricia's voice gradually lowered.

Because right in front of her, Ronald's eyes became sharp.

"Ronald, what's wrong?"

Ronald pointed to the door:

"Someone is coming up from downstairs, coming for us, and they are coming with greed."

Bang bang bang——

Just two breaths after Ronald opened his mouth to remind him.

Rhythmic knocking sounded at the door.

"Who?" Ronald asked in a controlled tone.

"Sir, you haven't rested yet, right?" A mature man's voice sounded from outside, "Can you open the door? I have some nice things here that I want to show to distinguished guests like you."

"..."

Ronald and Patricia looked at each other.

At this distance, they didn't sense any fluctuations in each other. In other words - this was an ordinary person knocking on the door of the hotel guests at night.

——Weird behavior?

Ronald was doubtful, but he still got up and went to open the door.

Then, a man in an khaki coat squeezed into the room and immediately put a smile on Ronald's face:

"You two, I am Crouber, a slave merchant officially recognized by [Giorno] City. I heard that there are distinguished guests coming today, so I came here specially to chat with you."

Slave trader? Distinguished guest?

The man who called himself Crouber didn't talk much, but just a few words gave Ronald a lot of doubts.

"We should have no plans to buy slaves."

"And what's going on with the distinguished guest you're talking about?"

On the surface, Ronald asked in a normal tone, but in fact, the magic power was already condensing at his fingertips. If this guy says anything wrong, he will be ready to take it down immediately!

In front of Ronald, the slave trader continued to speak diligently:

"Sir, that's all you don't know."

"New outsiders entering [Giorno] can enjoy special official subsidies for the slave trade. You may not have been interested in slaves in the past, but since you have come to such an interesting city, you might as well come and take a look."

Hearing this, Ronald suddenly realized:

"So for this subsidy, you always pay attention to new strangers entering the city, and then come to your door to discuss?"

"You are really a smart man who can draw inferences from one instance to another!" The slave merchant immediately offered his praise, "So with such a great opportunity to make money, are you willing to let her escape?"

"I don't want to, and I don't plan to..." Ronald immediately wanted to get rid of this greedy slave trader because he was disgusted with the word slave.

But Patricia and Ronald were different.

She immediately stopped Ronald, and then suggested in a more serious tone:

"Brad, don't worry."

"Since he is a 'businessman', maybe we can talk to him?"
