Dereliction of duty · 90 years in the new calendar

It took about half an hour in total.

Zolf: So slow...

went well?

Xus: Well, don't worry too much for now.

The children seem to plan to stay here for a while.Take a look, this is the middle of the "city" in a broad sense and the Demon King's Palace in the outfield. There is a flow of people, but it is not frequent, and a short-term stay is a good choice.

After promising that they would definitely investigate this, Xus distributed most of his money before leaving the tent.

The child who had just been treated with a broken arm agreed to live with Xus for a while.

Zolf: ...So that's how it is.

In other words, you must help them?

Xus: What's the problem? You are.

If it is put in front of "you", will you refuse?

Zolf: No, ha.

——Please give me more advice?But what shall we call you?Isn't it appropriate to use "hello"?

The boy hesitated for a moment, and finally begged the two to find him a workable name.

Zolf: Ugh... I hate names.

Xus: Don't look at me, I'm not good at it either.

...Although I want to say, pick one from the people I know, or something like that.

But I don't know many people.

More than half of the evening has passed, and it is getting dark.

Taking a day off to investigate at dawn tomorrow sounds like a good option, but after thinking about it, if you delay for a while, the traces of those scumbags who attacked children may become more difficult to find.

Xus: ...Lan.

Just this one, short and convenient to call.

The child's face brightened, and he seemed very satisfied with the name.

However, Zolf who was listening at the side was the complete opposite, his expression became much more serious.

Zolf: Cough - go back, or vice versa, look inside the city?

I can go both ways, you decide.

Xus: For me, I want to go to the city.

If it drags on for longer, maybe it won't be found tomorrow.

Zolf: Hmm, makes sense.

Lan, do you agree?

Lan: Mmm!

My brother helped me just now, and I will help my brother as much as possible!

They all agreed, so they started heading towards the city.

Zolf is nominally the owner of the Demon King's Hall, but in fact he rarely appears in front of outsiders, so not many people know him.

On the contrary, Xus is easier to be recognized because he often helps with errands (voluntarily).

——Except for those who are already familiar with him, he has never declared the name of the Demon King Palace to the outside world.Most people who have seen his face in the urban area only know that he is a "countryman" who occasionally comes to buy things.

After considering the above points, I always feel that the Devil King Palace is in a miserable state...

Xus: I heard that it was night when you were attacked?

Have you seen the road section and appearance clearly?

Lan: They all have masks.

There is a cathedral on the road, you can see it if you look over it.In the distance, the lights are still on.

Xus: (Compared to the one who took the lead, this kid's speech is a little harder to understand.)

(Can't blame him either.)

(meaning, the church can be seen from the place at that time...)

Zor.

Zolf: Hmm.

Also consider the height of the child, and there must be no tall objects in the middle.

His words coincided with his own thoughts - after all, this is the most basic inference.

When they entered, they chose the nearest city entrance. This half of the city was dominated by residences, and buildings of various heights were neatly arranged here.

It shouldn't be very likely here.So Xus recalled that the other half of the city was a market, and there were a few small areas that were even dominated by itinerant vendors.If it is a place that is wide enough to see far away, the group of mobile vendors after the market is closed is a good place.

However, the timing is a bit off.

Kid Wang said that the time when they were attacked was "evening", which is definitely not the time when the market is closed.

No one would choose to attack children in an open market, unless...

Xus: Lan, where you were, were there many sheds?

Lan: Umm... that's right!

There are a lot of baskets with a lot of delicious food in them!

Anyway, no one was watching, and we were hungry for many days, so!

Xus: Even if it's for survival, it's wrong to steal other people's things.

Lan: You know...but.

Xus: I understand, it's okay.

Gently patted the child's head, Xus lightly supported his back, pushing him to take small steps forward.

Xus: Let's go, I have to apologize to everyone.

Compensation or something, I can help you first.

(At that time no one...)

(It shouldn't be, and the location is not wrong.)

Zolf: There is a "main church" in the city. Are you going to take a detour or drop by?

Unlike a small church that looks okay but is actually informal in the wilderness, this one in the city is extremely gorgeous and spectacular.

Correspondingly, there will be many priests floating around.

From their standpoint, a detour is the better solution.

Xus: Go around... I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have dealt with some young people among them a few months ago.

Maybe there are people who remember my face.

Zolf: How about this?You and Lan take a detour to the market, and I'll see if I can talk to Cyn.

... I am a senior nerd, and this face is definitely not recognized by many people.

Xus: Please don't use such excuses to show off... okay.

Lan: Brother, what you mentioned just now is the big sister?

I like big sisters!

Xus: Not sure yet, but it's possible.

Follow me, are you willing to trust the brothers?

Lan: Mmm!
