Wizard: Gou adds some demon hunting in the Steam Age

"Lacey, we will do whatever you arrange."

Marco and Wayne looked at each other. Sure enough, the Secret Adjustment Department didn't want the Church of Dawn to know about the forbidden objects.

"Um,"

After saying this, Lacey looked at Arianna and said, "Your task this time is very simple. Help me investigate the whereabouts of some missing people in the slums."

"...Okay, nothing else?"

Lacey nodded, "Your abilities are very suitable for this job."

Arianna looked at her rather unhappily, "But your tone... didn't express the slightest attitude of asking for help."

"Request? Isn't it because of Yegor's order?"

"That's right," Ariana still said stubbornly: "Next time something like this happens again, I will definitely refuse."

"up to you,"

Lacey said nonchalantly: "If the case wasn't urgent, I would definitely apply to Yegor for Lord Nifa's help. Compared to Lord Nifa..."

"Lacie, you're still the same as before, damn it!"

Having said that, Ariana had to admit that compared with Lord Nefa's prophecy, his ability was indeed nothing to mention.

"have opinions?"

Ariana curled her lips and said, "...No."

Asshole and violent woman, if the difference in strength wasn't too big, he would definitely turn around and leave immediately.

beat?

Are you kidding? Isn’t that looking for death?

"That's just the way it is,"

Lacey kept walking and strode forward, "When we arrive at the Laos neighborhood later, Marco will notify the garrison to guard the perimeter. Wei En, take Tina and follow me in first."

Marco nodded, "I understand, Chief Lacey."

Wei En grunted and hurried on without saying a word.

As for Tina, she didn't even make a sound and stared at Wei En without blinking.

Several people left the Dumitru neighborhood, bypassed the central city where Krims Cathedral is located, and rushed directly towards Golden Avenue and Laos neighborhood.

Arianna looked at the Krimos Cathedral and said unhappily: "The Church of Dawn is really overbearing. Those who are not believers of Dawn are not allowed to pass through the church area."

"Not satisfied?" Lacey glanced at him, "You can argue with Bishop Andrews and ask him to withdraw this decree."

"Obviously this is the Kingdom of Chartland, the city-state of Custer, and the missionary place of the Church of Storms,"

Arianna decided to ignore her and said to herself: "The Archon actually agreed to such a domineering behavior by the Dawn Cult."

"The Church of Dawn is not as powerful as the Church of Storms."

"Of course I know this, but I still feel..."

"You won't forget the order from the Secretary-General, right?"

Lacey said seriously: "It is strictly forbidden to conflict with the church. If what you just said is listened to by the believers of Dawn, it will bring big trouble to the Secret Adjustment Department."

"Hmph, you don't need to tell me."

Arianna curled her lips and stopped talking.

Does Custer City State still have such rules?

Wayne searched through the memories of his predecessor and found no memory that he had ever been to the cathedral area.

Although I had long known how powerful the Church of Dawn was, I didn’t expect that even the area where the cathedral was located was a forbidden area.

Marco looked at the increasingly weird atmosphere and said, "Speaking of Dawn, did you all see the Dawn Church's Holy Beloved Advent Ceremony yesterday?"

Arianna nodded immediately, "Of course I saw it. Such a dazzling light almost made my eyes appear 'distorted'."

"Don't make such jokes." Lacey looked at him displeased.

"...No one told you that you really have no sense of humor?"

"What did you say?"

"Nothing, I just want to say that the Holy Beloved of Dawn Church should be the next candidate for the Holy Maiden, right?"

"Candidate for Saint? I don't think so!"

Marco looked like he was just watching the excitement and didn't mind the trouble. "This time the Holy Beloved Ceremony was too sudden. I'm afraid the people watching that position won't allow this Holy Beloved to disrupt the situation."

"Do you still know this?" Ariana looked at him in surprise, "Then do you know the identity of the Holy One last night?"

The identity of the Holy One?

Wei En's ears perked up quietly. If he talked about this, he would not be entangled.

Marco said angrily: "I wasn't there, how could I know such a secret thing? Do you know?"

"certainly!"

Hearing him speak so confidently, Lacey couldn't help but look at him, "Tell me, I also want to know who is the candidate for the Saint?"

Seeing that she was also interested, Arianna couldn't help but smile proudly, "Lacey, you guys usually keep in touch with the Secret Intelligence Department, even like this..."

Lacey glared at him, "Will you tell me?"

Wei En also stared at him subconsciously, the most annoying thing about making someone appetizing.

"...The person from the Ministry of Secrets didn't tell me exactly who it was. I only know that the Holy One is a student of Bishop Andrews,"

Seeing a few people's expressions drop, Ariana quickly said: "Somlai from the property management department was at the ceremony yesterday. He should have seen it."

Lacey snorted: "If you say it, you haven't said it yet."

Marco echoed: "So that's all you know? Does this count as knowing the identity of the candidate for the Saint?"

Arianna said unconvinced: "I also know that she is a student of Dawn Church School, and she is very beautiful!"

"What a piece of good information, Captain Ariana." Marco said in a sinister tone.

Students of the church, students of the bishop?

Wei En thought thoughtfully: This is quite suitable for Sister Carly...

After Ariana's nonsense, several people no longer wanted to chat.

Soon, they came to the Laos neighborhood, a slum area in the city-state of Castor.

Wayne has been here several times before, but if it weren't for lack of money, he would never want to stay here any longer.

Dirty roads, walls covered with weird graffiti, garbage piles that can never be cleaned up, and stinking black sewage on both sides of the road...

These are the characteristic “attractions” of the Laos neighborhood.

As for the people who have lived here for a long time, except that they are thinner than the people in other neighborhoods, other places look very... normal.

At least with Wei En's superior senses, he couldn't find anything wrong.

But if you add his panel——

[Because your toughness level is greater than level 8, the bone-eroding insect invasion failed! Reward: Survival point +1. 】

"really!"

Wei En looked at the prompts on the panel and sighed helplessly. He knew that the bone-eating insects were still there...
