"Really? That's good. I was afraid of being seen, so I walked faster."

Jiang Ran ignored Emilia's inner pink fantasy and walked straight to the window to confirm the movements of Wei'er and the old rabbit lady.

Fortunately, the two of them were just passing by this street and didn't look like they were going to enter the mission guild.

Judging from the way they were looking around, they were probably looking for a restaurant or a hotel.

"Ban...Banning...what are you bringing me to the branch chief's room for?"

Emilia's voice came from Jiang Ran's side. He now had to make up for his abrupt behavior just now.

(Or... should I just say I want to ask about the "Shenwu"?)

(No, this isn't urgent at all, and it doesn't explain my sudden behavior just now.)

(There needs to be something more urgent and important...)

"Well, there is something I must tell you..."

Jiang Ran was procrastinating while looking around. At this moment, he saw another familiar face standing downstairs of the Task Union through the window.

Now, Jiang Ran found an excuse.

"Emilia, come here and take a look."

Jiang Ran waved his hand, motioning Emilia to come to the window, and then guided her to look at a middle-aged man on the street.

"Have you noticed that this man has been sneaking around the Mission Guild recently?"

"Eh?"

Jiang Ran's question successfully brought Emilia back to reality from her pink fantasy state.

She was stunned for a moment, a look of disappointment flashing across her face, and then she carefully re-examined the man that Banning asked her to identify.

"Now that you mention it, it seems I've seen him these past few days. Is there something wrong with him?"

At first, Emilia didn't know the seriousness of the problem until Banning told her...

"He's Charles, the man sent by the mayor to monitor and follow you."

"Watch, follow me?"

Emilia opened her mouth in surprise. She quickly recalled her itinerary over the past few days. Fortunately, she did not leak any confidential information about the Mission Union.

"Why did the mayor send someone to monitor me? ...And why did you know this, Banning?"

Looking at Emilia's anxious and serious expression, Jiang Ran knew that he had successfully diverted her attention. All that was left was to continue delaying time until Wei'er and the others were far away.

"I also found out by overhearing this guy named Charles talking to his companions. It seems that the mayor is blaming the Quest Guild for his son's disappearance."

Jiang Ran told Emilia that the mayor is still in the stage of collecting evidence, so there is no need to worry too much.

Since the Task Union has not done anything improper, we just need to continue operating as usual.

"However, if possible, I suggest issuing some security patrol commissions in the name of the Quest Guild and recruiting some paid hunters to patrol the area around the Quest Guild day and night. As for the reason, you can make one up, such as saying that the Quest Guild recently had something stolen."

Jiang Ran spoke in great detail, and Emilia listened attentively.

In terms of time, Jiang Ran should indeed let Emilia know.

The appearance of Wei'er and the others indirectly pushed time forward.

After some communication, Emilia agreed with Jiang Ran's idea and said that she would arrange the commission today.

"Thank you, Benning. You've done our Taskforce Guild another big favor. I really don't know how to thank you enough."

Emilia looked at Jiang Ran with a blushing face, her eyes full of longing.

Jiang Ran touched Emilia's head, then patted her shoulder to make her relax.

"This is what I should do. It would be too awkward to say thank you."

·

When Jiang Ran left the mission union, Wei'er and the rabbit lady had already gone far away.

Following the idea he had just explained to Emilia, Jiang Ran continued to deduce the strategy for fighting against the mayor's forces.

Recalling the day of the incident, Jiang Ran attacked the mayor's son, ostensibly to protect the Mission Guild and Emilia. But regardless of the reason, the current situation is indeed because of his actions that the Mission Guild and Emilia are in danger.

In order to solve this problem, Jiang Ran originally considered getting rid of the mayor directly, but as the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, and Jiang Ran currently does not have the strength to confront the mayor's forces head-on.

So, if we talk about a feasible plan, Jiang Ran’s plan is to lure the snake out of its hole first, and then attack the “vital point” directly.

As long as the mayor is gone, no matter how many experts he hired, they would all be scattered.

To this end, what Jiang Ran needs to do now is to reveal some "news" to the mayor's spies.

·

It didn't take long for Jiang Ran to find the stalker Charles.

Jiang Ran first controlled him with the effect of the "Trickster"'s words, and then stuffed a note into his hand.

When Charles came to his senses, he was puzzled to find a piece of paper in his hand. He opened it and saw that it said:

"The black-clad archer who killed Kivi will appear in the "Trial Gate" control area in the western suburbs tomorrow afternoon."

After reading it, Charles was surprised and happy, and immediately ran to the mayor's house with the note.

·

Jiang Ran hid in the dark and observed, and was very satisfied with Charles' performance.

Charles was a simple man, so he didn't care about the strange origin of the note.

However, the mayor would definitely not be as stupid as Charles. Even so, Jiang Ran still believed that the mayor would take action.

The reason is very simple. With no clues at all, the mayor suddenly received such information. Even if he knew it might be a trap, he could not sit idly by.

Therefore, even if the mayor himself does not go to the scene, he will definitely send people to the scene to check the situation.

By then, the defenses in the mayor's mansion will certainly be much lax, and Jiang Ran will have an opportunity.

And if the mayor dares to take the risk and go out, it will be a godsend for Jiang Ran.

Therefore, no matter whether the mayor himself takes action or not, Jiang Ran has a plan to deal with it.

Now that this matter has been settled, Jiang Ran's next step is to find Wei'er to find out the situation before Emilia gets off work.

Only by knowing Wei'er's whereabouts can Jiang Ran avoid the tragedy of "turning a corner and encountering a Shura field"?

5.23 - Divination Rabbit Spirit

━━━━━━━━━━

October 187, 6

〖5:46 pm〗

[Advanced Trial Challenge remaining: 1 days]

[Confession death countdown remaining: 24 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

On the streets of Sunny Town, Wei'er and the fortune-telling rabbit spirit Navinason were looking for a suitable place to stay.

"Weier, are you hungry? Why don't we have dinner first?" asked the fortune-telling rabbit spirit grandma.

"Yeah, okay."

Wei'er nodded in agreement.

After a long journey of 6 days since they set out from Ella Village on June 7th, Wei'er and Grandma Rabbit finally arrived in Sunny Town.

The hardships along the way made Wei'er secretly determined that she must save money to buy a horse before traveling far away in the future, or at least hire a carriage.

Finding a place to eat is easy for Wei'er because she has a very good nose.

It was dinner time now, and Wei'er could tell which restaurants were open just by smelling them.

Soon, Wei followed the scent and came to a restaurant called "Cat Girl Restaurant". When she was about to go in, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Weier!"

Black hair, yellow skin, and a gentle smile on his cold face. Even if this young man turned into ashes, Wei'er would still recognize him!

"B-Banning?! Oh my god, is it really you?! Banning!"

Wei'er was so excited that she hugged the boy in front of her. After a few seconds, she shyly let go of his hand and took two steps back. She looked up at him and then looked down at her feet. She was so excited and shy that she was about to have schizophrenia.

"Yes, it's me, Wei'er. I didn't expect to meet you here. When did you come?"

"I, I just arrived today... I'm glad to meet you, too."

At this time, Sister Ai'er in Wei'er's mind began to mumble.

——(Oh, why didn’t I tell him that I came here specifically to see him?)

——(Otherwise, all the hardships along the way would have been in vain.)

Wei'er did not respond to her sister Ai'er's suggestion, because the fact that she met Banning on the first day of her arrival was enough to make her happy.

"By the way, Wei'er, who is this person next to you...?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. This is..."

Wei'er was hesitating whether to say the name of the fortune-telling rabbit spirit Navinasen, when Grandma Rabbit took the initiative to take over the conversation.

"Hello handsome boy, my name is Nana, and I'm traveling with Wei'er."

"Hello, Grandma Nana, my name is Banning. I used to live in Ella Village. I'm from the same hometown as Wei'er."

Banning squatted down and shook hands with Grandma Rabbit.

Grandma Rabbit looked at Banning with interest, repeating the name "Banning" several times, with a deep look in her eyes.

——(So you are Benning...)

——(You can’t judge a person by his appearance. I really can’t tell that you have the ability to predict and change the future.)

"Weier, Grandma Nana, are you looking for a place to eat?" Banning asked.

"Yeah, we're about to go into this 'Cat Girl Restaurant'."

Hearing Wei'er say this, Banning immediately winked at the two of them, and then waved his hand quietly.

"I heard that the ingredients in this restaurant are not very good. I will take you to another restaurant with real conscience."

·

·

Led by Banning, the three came to a restaurant called "Bear's Cabin".

Although this restaurant is located in a remote area, its decoration is very exquisite and the staff inside are all dressed neatly, giving people a high-class and expensive feeling.

The three of them sat down, ordered their dishes, and then started chatting while eating.

Ver told Banning that she came to Sunnytown because she wanted to go out into the world and experience life just like Banning.

However, Wei'er will not leave the territory of Lord Green Lizard for the time being, so that she can return to Ella Village at any time.

Now that Rod is gone, Wei'er is the only one in the village who can take care of the orchard.

As for Grandma Nana, she was a companion that Wei'er made on the road to Sunny Town.

Wei'er said that thanks to Grandma Nana, she was able to avoid several dangerous situations.

Grandma Nana smiled and said that she couldn't help much. The real powerful person was Wei'er. If it weren't for Wei'er, she might have starved to death in the wilderness.

"But, ah, as a traveler who lives and travels until old age, I would have no regrets even if I died in the wilderness."

Ban Ning listened quietly to the two people's introductions, and then briefly explained his recent situation.

He told Wei'er and Grandma Nana that he was still working as a hunter after coming to Sunny Town, and occasionally accepted some commissions from paid hunters.

The ecology around Sunny Town is rich and diverse in species. During this period of time, Banning has not only improved his hunting skills, but has also accumulated a little wealth, and has established a firm foothold in Sunny Town.

"So, I'll pay for tonight's meal as a welcome treat for you."
