The bishop is unfathomable.

"Sir, I've inquired about it for you. Thomas's used bookstore was destroyed in a mysterious fire seven years ago, but the owner, old Thomas, didn't die and now lives in an apartment on the edge of the slums."

In front of the carriage, Ma Wei said to Li Wei, "Do you think we should go there again? The old site has been converted into a warehouse. It's currently rented by a chamber of commerce to store goods."

Li Wei was somewhat surprised: "A fire? Seven years ago?"

Mavi's words reminded him of the incident that Barris had mentioned when he joined the company.

Seven years ago, a fire... The Norren Grand Library also experienced a fire, and it seems that it lost its previous librarian as a result.

It feels like a very special point in time.

"Since the store is closed, let's skip the bookstore and go find the manager. You should know where he is, right?"

"I know the adults, but the journey might be a bit long, it will take about an hour."

"Let's go," Li Wei said as he walked into the carriage and sat down.

"yes!"

The carriage started moving and traveled along the smooth brick road. After the carriage left, a figure emerged from the shadows, raised his hand, and gestured towards the alleyway across the road.

Immediately afterwards, a horse-drawn carriage that had been parked by the roadside suddenly started up and followed the carriage that Li Wei was riding in.

……

"Sir, it seems we're being watched! What, what should we do?"

Ma Wei's voice traveled through the carriage and reached Li Wei, who was reading a newspaper inside.

Li Wei frowned slightly upon hearing this: "Calm down, Ma Wei. Do what you're supposed to do. You still have your gun, right?"

"Yes, take it. Barney also gave me an extra revolver and six spare rounds of fixed ammunition."

"Then get ready to do what you did this morning." Li Wei replied calmly, then frantically summoned his falcon, shrinking its size before it flew out of the carriage window and into the sky.

"Are they planning to target me? Who is it? The Son of Sand? Or just a greedy gangster?"

Li Wei muttered to himself, feeling somewhat relieved that he hadn't used up all his spiritual energy in one go this morning.

The falcon currently has 15 points of pre-stored psionic energy, enough to unleash three lightning bolts, equivalent to three instant-exploding grenades.

Even with the passive mana regeneration effect of the Dreamland's Blessing, my spiritual energy has only recovered to 19 points, which means I can only cast three spells at the moment.

We're still in a busy downtown area. If we make any noise, surveillance will arrive quickly. Those people wouldn't choose to act here unless they're stupid.

Once the carriage leaves the city center and reaches a more peripheral area, the people behind it will probably be unable to resist taking action.

But before that, we need to find out where they are.

The next moment, Li Wei instructed Ma Wei to speed up the carriage, and then used the falcon to begin observing the suspected target.

This trick worked quickly; he soon saw an ordinary-looking carriage accelerate at the same time as him.

"Is it them?" Levi thought for a moment, then decided not to act immediately. Instead, he sent Falcon to the bar to deliver a message, instructing Barney to take as many people as he could and head to the vicinity of the slums.

He then asked Mawei to slow down temporarily, delaying their departure from the city. They also took the opportunity to stop and buy a ham sandwich from a roadside bakery to tide them over.

"Sir, are you sure this is alright? Perhaps I should escort you back. Continuing out now is too risky, especially since we don't even know how many of them there are," Ma Wei advised.

Li Wei chuckled: "Running away won't solve the problem, Ma Wei. We have to face the problem eventually."

"It's always a good thing to resolve problems as soon as possible."

"Why do you think I'm going to stop or ask you to slow down?"

"Barney has already led his comrades to the slums, and they dare not make a move until they leave this heavily monitored area."

Even though he deliberately delayed, Li Wei still managed to leave the downtown area during the conversation.

What's amazing is that the people in the carriage that followed behind never seemed to be in a hurry.

She calmly waited for Li Wei to finish his business and stall for time, completely unaware, or rather, indifferent, to the fact that she had already been exposed, as if she had Li Wei completely under her control.

And they seemed to be following some kind of rule, never making a move in the downtown area.

But just as Li Wei drove into the edge of the city and was about to enter the slums in the west, he noticed, through the shared vision of the falcon, that the carriage behind him was starting to move strangely.

The following carriage gradually slowed down, and a man had already leaned half his body out of the window, aiming a lever-action rifle at the carriage where Li Wei was.

"Falcon, launch immediately!"

Li Wei gave the other side no chance to make a move, and did not even consider the possibility of accidentally injuring civilians. After discovering that the other side was trying to fire, he immediately issued the order to attack.

The next moment, a lightning bolt fell from the sky and instantly engulfed the entire carriage.

The violent arc of electricity instantly tore the wooden carriage apart.

The wooden frame and carriage were instantly charred by the lightning, and the man who tried to fire the gun died an exceptionally charred death due to the conductive properties of metal.

Such a huge commotion naturally attracted attention.

Screams filled the once bustling street as people scattered and fled.

Some responsible pedestrians started looking for phones to call the police, while quick-thinking residents hid in the nearest buildings, and those with nowhere to hide ran away from the scene.

After dealing with the first wave of suspected enemies, Li Wei did not let Ma Wei stop, but instead had him lead him towards the meeting point agreed upon with Barney.

Instead of getting off the train, he sat inside and observed the situation outside through the window.

The destination was extremely remote, almost a perfect corner of the city, unlikely to be easily discovered.

This is the place where Levi rescued Barney this morning, that open space, a gathering point for the Children of Dust. Clearly, in this slum where violence could erupt at any moment, no one cared about the explosions that morning.

Li Wei remained calm, stepped out of the carriage, and began to look around casually.

Similarly, he easily found the guy who was acting strange this time as well.

With the help of the falcon's true vision still circling high in the sky, Li Wei can see the tracker even if the tracker uses magic or items that can conceal their identity.

Just like right now, a man in a black suit, who must have used similar methods, is standing outside the alley, under a street lamp across the street.

From Li Wei's perspective, there was nothing there.

But after sharing the falcon's true field of vision, a human figure was clearly visible there.

We've found it.

If you weren't invisible, I might not have been able to spot someone suspicious in a crowd.

Seemingly noticing that Li Wei's gaze had been fixed on him, the man in the suit, who had been quite calm and even exuded an aura of a master, suddenly panicked. After glancing around to make sure that no one else was around, he looked at Li Wei with a look of fear.

Li Wei responded with a polite smile, then raised his index finger and placed it in front of his lips as a gesture of shushing.

The next moment, Li Wei took the revolver from Ma Wei's hand and pointed it directly at the man in the suit standing under the streetlight: "Come over here yourself, don't even think about running away."

As soon as he finished speaking, several figures appeared from all directions. Although none of them spotted the target, they still tacitly surrounded the spot where the bishop was pointing his gun.
