Fantasy journey to the heavens

Chapter 157 Chase and Stop

"me too."

The smile on Katim's face did not change: "It is an honor for me to become friends with a person like Lord Jemu."

"Haha, this is the best."

Ai Li smiled and said: "You are all young people with great promise. It would be best if you interact more with each other."

"The future of Gray Rock City depends on young people like you."

He didn't find anything unusual, but was happy to have Katim and Jemu interact with each other.

After a while, Katim left the potion and turned to leave.

Jimu also walked out of the hall.

The moment he left the hall, his expression immediately turned ugly.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

The guard on the side stepped forward and asked with a respectful expression: "Who offended you?"

"The pharmacist named Katim just now."

Jimu's face turned livid: "Immediately send someone to check for me to find out what his background is."

"I want all his information within three days."

"Yes."

The guards on the side nodded respectfully and then silently retreated.

From the looks of it, he must have gone to collect information.

"Things are getting more and more interesting."

After leaving Avery's manor and sitting in his carriage, many thoughts flashed through Katim's mind.

Gray Rock City is not too big, but the situation at this moment seems extremely complicated.

The dignitaries of Gray Rock City, represented by Airy, are on one side.

Luna and the forces behind it are one party.

And now, another Jiemu has appeared, seemingly representing the emergence of a new force.

In the small gray rock city, three different forces have appeared at this moment. This is really interesting.

"The power behind Luna should be the official of the Crow Kingdom."

Sitting in the carriage, this thought flashed through Katim's mind.

After this period of exploration, he had some insights.

The officials of Crow Kingdom should also be aware of what happened in Gray Rock City, so they specially sent their own people to investigate the situation.

Luna is one of them.

The powerful people headed by Airy represent the interests of the local nobles in Gray Rock City.

What about Jimu?
Who is the person behind him?
Why did he have such a big reaction when he heard Katim treating Airi and others?

He doesn't want Katim to treat Airi?

But on the surface, he seems to be a member of the local elite in Gray Rock City, and his interests are consistent with those of Airy and others.

Avery obviously regards him as one of his own.

Or.
Katim was lost in thought, passing through all the thoughts in his mind.

late at night.

Jim walked out of Eli's manor and came to a remote tavern outside.

There, a figure in black robe was already waiting.

"How's the situation?"

As if he had anticipated Jimu's arrival, the figure in black robe was the first to ask.

"It's been checked."

Jimu said: "This is a pharmacist from the outside world. He came to this city recently and opened a pharmacy shop in the city."

"On the face of it, there seems to be no problem."

"No, it's a big problem."

The man in black robe sneered and said: "There are so many cities to choose from, but you chose Gray Rock City. Doesn't this explain the problem?"

"Greystone City is not a good place. A normal pharmacist would not choose to settle here as long as he comes here for a visit."

"Furthermore, judging from the level of potion he has shown, this guy is most likely a wizard apprentice."

"Where's the wizard you met before?"

"could not find it."

Jimu's face suddenly turned ugly: "You mean, this guy is in the same group as the wizard before?"

After being defeated by Katim in the cemetery, he has been searching for traces of Katim everywhere, trying to find Katim.

Unfortunately, this search turned out to be fruitless.

No matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find any trace of Katim.

The other party seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Jimu once thought that the other party had already left Gray Rock City.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

The man in black robe nodded: "They appear at about the same time, and they can all be related to the wizard."

"If this is a coincidence, then it's too much of a coincidence."

"I understand."

A smile appeared on Jimu's face, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"I'm going to kill him right now."

"Don't underestimate the enemy."

The man in black robe was a little dissatisfied: "The opponent is a being related to wizards. God knows how much power he has."

"Have you forgotten that you were directly defeated by someone in the cemetery?"

When he mentioned this, Jimu's face suddenly darkened.

As a formal knight, he is extremely confident in his own strength and believes that there are not many people who can match him in the entire Gray Rock City.

But before that, when he faced Katim in the cemetery, he suffered a terrible defeat.

With just one look, he was directly defeated without even the slightest room for maneuver.

This encounter made him unconsciously feel a huge sense of frustration.

Now that he heard the man in black robe mention it again, he unconsciously became cautious: "Then what should we do now?" "Just watch him work in the city and do nothing?"

He said: "If this guy is really a wizard, he most likely came here to investigate the Tree of the Dead."

"Once the Tree of the Dead is discovered and the situation there is explored, everything will be over for us."

"rest assured."

Compared to Jimu's worries, the man in black robe was very calm: "Didn't Airi recently propose that he want to make a new sacrifice to the Tree of the Dead?"

"In that case, let them do as they wish."

He said calmly: "Bring the pharmacist to the Tree of the Dead and make him one of the sacrifices."

"I believe that the master will be very happy if such a high-quality sacrifice exists."

"You're right."

A smile also appeared on Jimu's face: "As long as you bring him to the master, no matter what he is hiding, the result will be destined."

"Move faster."

The hoarse and deep voice continued: "The Crow Kingdom is already very suspicious of the situation here in Gray Rock City. It will not be good for anyone if we continue like this."

"If possible, solve the problem here as soon as possible."

Luna is quietly lurking outside Eli's manor.

Taking advantage of the darkness, she prepared to sneak into the manor quietly.

After several months of exploration, he had roughly figured out the situation in this manor.

The entire manor is heavily defended, but there are also many loopholes.

As long as she takes advantage of these loopholes, she can lurk in the manor to collect evidence from Airy and others.

The court of Crow Kingdom also had doubts about the situation in Gray Rock City, and even suspected that Airy and others were about to rebel.

Luna came here specially to investigate these situations.

After arriving in Gray Rock City, she did feel that a lot was wrong.

The entire gray stone city is filled with a strange smell.

Skeletons can be seen everywhere on the roadside, undead creatures appear from time to time, and local residents die in large numbers at every turn, which all illustrate the horror and weirdness of this city.

And this one is obviously related to local dignitaries such as Airy.

As long as these are clearly investigated, the officials of Crow Kingdom can take action and directly capture Airi and others.

She lurked quietly and slowly groped her way inside the manor.

The process went smoothly at first.

With the power of a formal knight, ordinary guards cannot detect it at all.

But after arriving inside the manor, an accident happened.

A tall figure appeared in front, blocking it at the moment.

It was a young knight wearing white armor. He was standing there, looking at Airy who was quietly lurking below, with a look of disdain on his face.

"Huh, are you from the royal family?"

He walked down the steps and swung the long sword in his hand down.

"not good!"

At this moment, a bad premonition suddenly arose in Luna's heart.

Without any hesitation, she turned around and ran away.

The long swords collided in mid-air, and then Luna's figure disappeared directly on the spot.

However, because of this action, the guards in the entire manor have also reacted.

"There are enemies!"

"Protect Lord Airi!"

Bursts of sound came from the manor.

Luna quickly left the manor.

Behind her, Jim was chasing after her.

They clashed constantly in the city's streets.

In terms of pure strength, Luna and Jimu are not much different.

But she is a woman after all. Although she is also a formal knight, she cannot compare with Jem in terms of strength.

In fact, compared to frontal combat, she is better at assassination and detecting intelligence.

Like now, a head-on collision with a powerful official knight is not something she is good at.

boom!
The long sword kept making sounds in mid-air.

The life energy between the two exploded, making bursts of roaring sounds.

After Setsuna's confrontation, Luna dodged away again.

Jimu chased after him.

But under the darkness of night, Luna's figure had quietly disappeared, not even a trace of breath was left, making it impossible to continue exploring.

He couldn't help but frown and looked in all directions.

An ordinary pharmacy shop appeared in front of him.

This is Katim's apothecary, right around here.

Jimu looked at the pharmacy shop in front of him, a look of hesitation suddenly appeared on his face.

The warning that the man in black robe gave him before was still in his ears, which made him stop moving.

Otherwise, according to his past personality, he would just rush in to find talents.

But now, there are more other considerations.

In or out?

Jimu felt a little hesitant.

But at this moment, a sound suddenly came.

"It took a lot of effort to get here, why don't you come in and sit for a while?"

A sound suddenly sounded in his ears, like an invisible ghost, which made people feel chilly.

Jimu was startled and subconsciously raised his head.

On the opposite side, I saw that the door of the shop had opened at some point.

Katim was standing there at the moment, looking at him calmly.
