Soon, Lu Ren broke the magic protection in front of him and quietly opened the door.

Once inside, the magical protection of the building was no longer effective. Now not only Lu Ren, but also Vera and Sunflower could clearly see the entire interior of the building.

This building is very large. Lu Ren estimated that the interior alone should be around four to five thousand square meters. It is quite large to be a mansion, and it can be seen that it is probably a base in nature.

After coming in, Lu Ren and the others were very cautious, but after a while Lu Ren was surprised to find that there seemed to be no one here, at least she did not sense any life reaction.

"Strange, is there no one here?"

After learning this information, Vera and the others relaxed their vigilance and began to wander around the room. There were many rooms here, and they all showed signs of life, which showed that many people usually lived in them.

But now there has been no one for a month, which makes Lu Ren very strange.

Could it be that he was exposed, so they hid and ambushed him? But Lu Ren's magic perception did not capture any signs of life, so there was no one inside.

The entire base was like a huge maze. Lu Ren and his friends wandered around in it for a long time but found nothing. At most, they found some personal belongings and bedding in some rooms, indicating that this place was occupied by someone.

"What do we do now?"

After walking around, Sunflower asked Lu Ren, but the latter didn't have any good ideas. Although she thought about staying and waiting for someone to come back, it was a bit dangerous to do so.

"Let's go back first and see later..."

In the end, the three of them searched around and left after not getting any useful information. But before leaving, Lu Ren used magic to mark the entrance so that if someone passed through, Lu Ren could sense it and determine when the person came back and left.

In this way, Lu Ren and his companions returned to Xidao City. However, as soon as they entered the city, Lu Ren saw some soldiers lining up and walking out of the city. It seemed that something had happened.

Lu Ren randomly found a passerby nearby to ask for information, and the result was that there was a murder case in a village near Xidao City. If it was an ordinary murder case, there would be no need to mobilize troops, but it was said that the murdered person was a fugitive felon who worked as a dog for Albi during the war and hid himself after the war for fear of being liquidated. At the same time, it was also heard that there was a strong magical reaction at the scene, and someone saw a group of mysterious people using various magic to kill him.

After connecting several things in Lu Ren's mind, he was still not quite sure about the connection between them.

If the base they had just found was the Priory's base, and if the mysterious person who appeared in the nearby village was a member of the Priory, why did they want to kill that person? What was the connection between them?

Lu Ren couldn't figure it out, so she had to go home and calm down to think about it slowly, hoping to understand the secret, or find other clues.

After lying on the bed, Lu Ren picked up the intelligence brought by Lina and read it carefully. It also recorded several strongholds of the hermitage in Xidao City. Because of the fear of alerting the enemy, Wildy and his men have not yet taken action against these strongholds. Instead, they sent dragoons to monitor them.

The Dragoons are a secret service organization of Frannia, somewhat similar to the Rat Tasi of the Rat Kingdom. After Wildi took over the affairs of the Priory, he also gained temporary command of the Dragoons.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Lu Ren. She hopes to find some more useful clues from this information.

But after reading it over and over again, Lu Ren couldn't find any useful clues. She looked at the sunshine outside the window. The weather seemed to be very good today, and it didn't snow during this period. It was sunny all the time.

At this time, Lu Ren suddenly had a wonderful idea. Since he couldn't find any clues, why not go and ask the people of the hermitage? Anyway, he already knew some of their bases. He just needed to go there quietly and kidnap a member, and then torture him.

Thinking of this, Lu Ren also became motivated. This time she did not bring anyone with her. She rushed to the street alone, and then according to the location in the intelligence, she came to the vicinity of the nearest monastic order's stronghold. Then she pretended to be nothing and wandered around here, hoping to find a member of the monastic order.

………………

"Mission completed, target eliminated."

"Okay, I understand, please step back."

On the outskirts of Xidao City, a group of people in black were gathering, led by a young girl whose short black hair stood out among the crowd. After receiving a report from her men, she sat down alone against a tree.

"Hermit, shall we go back directly now?"

"Stay here for now. It seems the president has some tasks for us to do."

After completing the mission, everyone did not go back directly, but waited in the woods. During this period, they also took the time to have a good rest. Except for the sentries, everyone sat on the ground to recover their energy.

"I didn't expect that guy to be so difficult to deal with. It seems that the Albi people gave him a lot of benefits..."

The girl was originally resting with her eyes closed, but soon a girl appeared beside her. Her young figure always made people think she was a child, but in fact she was already an adult.

“It was indeed a bit unexpected, but fortunately, we completed the task without any danger in the end.”

The girl was not displeased by the girl's noise. She maintained her previous appearance and did not open her eyes, but continued to communicate with the girl.

"Of course. As long as Lady Alice takes action, no matter who it is, it won't be a problem!"

"Okay, okay, stop flattering me. You should take a break first. You still have tasks to do later."

Facing the girl's praise, the young girl did not show any pride, as if this was a normal thing. As the leader of this group of people, she had heard too many such words before, and the trust of her subordinates was also the cornerstone of her progress.

"Come to think of it, why have you become so busy recently? I haven't played with Alice-sama for a long time..."

After hearing what the girl said, the other girl sat down next to her, then leaned on her and hugged her arm, looking like a little bird.

"Yeah... Ever since Avic and his men came back from Valuka, the president has started to make big moves. I heard that they want to make something big in the near future, and it will be in West Island City..."

The girl opened her eyes and looked at the clear sky. Although the weather was very good today, it could not dispel the gloom in the girl's heart.

"I hope... nothing bad will happen..."
