Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Since the enemy's true strength cannot be determined, it is necessary to keep the Royal Knights on high alert after listing possible conjectures.

"It seems impossible to leave directly."

Aoki stared at a car that had just passed overhead.

His expression was more serious than ever before.

“Since we can’t leave for the time being, let’s lie low for a while,” An Ran said.

Aoki shook his head: "Things aren't as simple as they seem. The interval was far too short, and the spatial fluctuations haven't completely disappeared. There's still a high chance they'll track you down."

"..."

An Ran hesitated for a moment.

There are some things I'm confused about.

Aoki led the way, weaving through the crowded buildings: "What's up?"

He eventually stopped in front of a very ordinary house.

I opened the door, went inside, and it looked very familiar.

"Why did you go out to stop Olivia yourself?"

An Ran followed closely behind.

Her eye twitched slightly.

This is a chain reaction triggered by pain.

The giant claw of that star beast slammed down, and it was incredibly dangerous. Although An Ran managed to dodge it successfully in the end, she still felt a jolt in her waist.

The impact of air pressure alone made An Ran feel as if her body was almost torn apart.

The extra health bar was instantly emptied.

Too terrifying.

After all, it was a monster that even she couldn't see through at all.

It must be at least level 130 or higher.

"You stay here for now, I'll figure out the rest."

Aoki led Anran around the house to familiarize her with the layout.

After saying that, he turned to walk out the door.

"..."

An Ran stared at him suspiciously.

"What exactly are you up to?"

“Helping you is helping the reformers,” Aoki replied.

That makes a lot of sense.

After all, if An Ran were arrested, the entire reformist faction would be wiped out.

However, considering that the cooperation between the two parties was "forced".

Even if Aoki wanted to help her, he shouldn't be acting so resentful now, right?

Or is he a master of acting?

"In short, you should know that I'm not going to fall into the pit, so take my advice for now and don't leave here."

"alright."

Anran nodded.

She also needs to hurry up and recover, and while she's at it, quickly allocate her experience points so that she can improve her strength as much as she can.

Aoki pushed open the door and left in a hurry.

"Let's check this area first."

An Ran gave Ella a look.

Ella understood immediately.

The two thoroughly inspected the house but found nothing suspicious.

"Whoo~"

Relieved, Anran drank several bottles of medicine.

All 21 billion experience points earned from defeating Olivia and completing phased missions were invested in the Mechanic.

The Ether Realm is currently the biggest help to her.

This experience isn't enough for the Wind Sword Saint to reach Master level, and even if they do reach Master level, the newly promoted Sword Saint class isn't very meaningful.

Ether Mechanic Lv111.

The Long March is still a long way off.

"Anran, Anran, how about I go out and check the situation?" Ella suggested.

"..."

"They have no idea I exist, so it's definitely safe for me to go out and gather information."

After considering it carefully, An Ran finally nodded: "Okay, be careful."

"Ah."

Watching Ella leave.

Anran hid in her room, idly drawing circles.

As time went on, the outside world was in an uproar.

This extensive investigation quickly led to the discovery of the new mansion, and Visa's past business dealings there were subsequently revealed.

Regardless of whether Visa was involved or not, the Hunter family immediately smeared him.

The person who murdered Olivia should, of course, be executed.

But this rare political opportunity should not be given up.

Kick Vesa aside and win over the newly formed Ninth Expeditionary Force.

However, this seemed to have the opposite effect. Although the Ninth Expeditionary Force remained silent, they were extremely hostile to the group that had tripped them up from behind.

Visa's explanation is the same old "a beautiful lady is sought after by a gentleman" kind of thing.

"Is it any of your business if I pursue a woman I like?"

"Don't talk nonsense without evidence!"

The “war” between the Hunter family and the Boyle family behind Visa quickly escalated into a “war” between the second and third princes.

And it has a tendency to escalate.

The depressed fourth prince was suddenly hit on the head by such a big gift, and he couldn't be happier.

"Let's fight! Fight them hard! It would be best to blow one or two of them to bits!"

This is how his opportunity came.

But no matter how much noise there is.

The pursuit of the murderer will not stop.

First, block the killer's possible escape route from Aixing. Once the killer is caught, everything will be fine.

They followed the clues and traced the source.

then……

Only then did I realize there were no melons on the vine.

The original buyer of the new mansion has disappeared.

There was no trace of it.

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't find any useful information.

It's as if there's an invisible barrier there; they can't even feel its presence, but as soon as they get close, they're led to other places.

Richie's words were originally supposed to have some effect.

But when Richie saw that Olivia was dead, he panicked even more. He couldn't afford to mess with her.

Furthermore, many people witnessed his conflict with Visa, so it's hard to say how credible his testimony is, especially since it's just speculation.

"safely……"

Ella looked at Anran pitifully.

She didn't get any useful information when she returned from outside.

She first went out disguised as a child, but people not only ignored her, but some even tried to kidnap her.

After transforming into an adult, he once again experienced the indifference of the people of Planet Ai.

"Shh... You can't talk about things like this."

"It's okay." An Ran patted Ella's head. "You've done a great job."

At this point, trying to leave in a starship is unreliable.

The safest method is to travel directly through space. However, given her current travel distance, she would need about another six months of faith to reach a nearby planet using the Lv30 space rhythm.

Headache.

However, the headache didn't last long, and Aoki came over the next evening.

"I have a way to get you off Aix."
