Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

As long as the result is achieved, some rough processes can be ignored.

This is the biggest lesson he learned from his teacher.

"Let's go."

Luo Xiu stared at the wooden plank for a while, then started walking again. The figures of the group gradually disappeared into the dim night.

After a while.

A figure emerged from behind the wooden plank that Luo Xiu had just been staring at. Peggy, dressed in various colorful robes, dusted herself off and muttered to herself:

"Was I just discovered? I shouldn't have, I've been very careful to control my own fluctuations. That guy shouldn't be that sensitive to magic."

He scratched his head, but ultimately couldn't come up with a definite answer.

Although he had noticed the battle going on here, to be honest, he had only just arrived.

The main reason was that the battle ended too quickly. From the time he heard the faint roar and rushed over until the battle finally ended, only about ten minutes had passed.

He saw that Lundelor and Dorian had been defeated by two of Miler's men, and he also noticed the battle between Miler and Bodecca. However, just as he was about to show himself, an unexpected incident occurred, as he discovered that he was not alone.

Thinking of this, a pale purple magic circle rose beneath his feet, and his figure vanished instantly.

The next second, he appeared at a corner in the distance, a corner that Luo Xiu and the others had just passed by, but they did not stop and stare at him like they did when they passed the wooden plank where he was hiding.

"Come out, Your Excellency. You've been watching for a while now."

Peggy grinned and spoke into the shadows around the corner.

"..."

At the corner, all was quiet, and no one responded.

Peggy smiled and said:

"So, can you really tolerate this, Lord Baal? Even now, you still refuse to show yourself. This is not like you."

As soon as the words were spoken, slow footsteps finally came from the shadows behind the corner.

Baal, dressed in a long emerald green robe, slowly emerged from the shadows, the moonlight illuminating his face and making it appear pale.

But the expression on his face made Peggy's heart skip a beat, because he was actually smiling, and not with his usual polite smile, but with a strange curve at the corners of his mouth, making no attempt to hide his inner joy.

This was the first time Peggy had ever seen such a smile on Barr's face, and combined with the quiet of the night, it gave Peggy a chilling feeling.

He suddenly realized that exposing Baal's hiding place was a mistake.

Good evening, Peggy.

Barr spoke, his face still bearing that unrestrained smile.

"Good evening, Your Excellency Baal."

Peggy took a deep breath, not wanting Barr to see his fear, and smiled as usual:

"You've been hiding around this corner for a while now, haven't you? Why don't you go out and capture Lady Miler and the others? Infighting within the Knights is strictly forbidden, isn't it?"

"Did they have internal strife? I didn't see it. I arrived too late; the battle was already over when I got there, so I didn't notice."

Barr smiled and said something that made Peggy's heart skip a beat again.

Something is wrong, absolutely wrong.

Baal was the vice-commander who valued the Knights' Charter the most. Even though he was late, he should have been able to see Miler and the others dragging Bozelica and the others along.

In the past, Baal would definitely rush out to question Milair about what had happened, and might even take him down.

He was never the kind of person who could patiently ask about the specifics of what happened.

"Is that so? So Lord Bar didn't see it? Then perhaps I was mistaken too, hehe."

Peggy chuckled twice, then made a farewell gesture to Barr:

"Then I shall take my leave, Your Excellency Baal. Have a good night."

Barr smiled and said goodbye to Peggy, which made Peggy even more suspicious.

Every time Baal saw him, he would first scold him, and he never went out to stop Miler's actions. Baal didn't use this to his advantage, but instead let him go.

Something's really wrong; there's something seriously wrong with the man in front of us, Baal.

"Aren't you leaving yet, Peggy?"

Seeing Peggy standing there motionless, Barr spoke up.

Peggy immediately said:

"Let's go, of course we'll go."

A magic circle rose beneath Peggy's feet, and she vanished from the spot.

In the last second before disappearing, he stared intently at Baal in front of him, as if trying to discern something unusual from Baal's face.

But nothing could be seen; Baal even waved to him.

No, this should be the biggest anomaly.

Barr had never made such a polite gesture with him before.

After Peggy disappeared, Barr stared at the spot where Peggy had just been standing, grinned, and hummed a little tune as he left.

He walked all the way to the very center of the outermost street of Kanriel, the symmetrical center of the entire city, where a huge statue of Earl Shek stood.

Behind the sculpture, there is a small door guarded by layers of guards.

He walked to the door and revealed his identity to the guards.

These guards did not come from the Knights Order; they were directly under the command of the Lord of Kanriel and were responsible for guarding the only passage leading to the inner city of Kanriel.

After his identity was checked, Baal was allowed to pass.

He passed through the passage and arrived in a world completely different from the outside.

As far as the eye can see, there are rows and rows of detached houses, each with its own courtyard, each with a different style, and they are far apart from each other, at least several hundred meters apart.

Baal strode to one of the green houses, placed his hand on the ivy-covered door, and magic surged forth.

The door opened with a click, and he stepped inside.

The room was filled with greenery, from the walls to the closets and even the clocks hanging there, everything was green.

Barr first carefully checked the room inside and out to make sure there were no signs of anyone else having been there or that anyone was hiding inside.

Then, unable to contain his excitement any longer, he burst into laughter.

Exaggerated laughter echoed in the room, filled with excitement and madness.

His eyes even welled up with tears, and he laughed so hard he couldn't stand up straight.

He laughed for a few minutes, then rubbed his stomach and went to a small room where there was a green crystal, about the size of a fist.

This is a small communication crystal. Although it cannot select a target to communicate with like a large communication crystal, it is not much different from a large communication crystal in terms of one-to-one communication.

It can transmit messages for short periods of time, but it also consumes a huge amount of resources.

He took out dozens of gold coins and placed them in front of the crystal.

The gold coin immediately seemed to be sucked into the crystal.

Immediately, the crystal surface seemed to transform into a body of water, with ripples spreading outwards.

A figure emerged on the crystal surface, gradually becoming clearer.

Looking at that pale, smooth-skinned face, Baal laughed:

Good evening, Larry.

[For information on the conversation between Barr and Larry, please refer to Chapter 97.]

Chapter 143 The Mastermind Behind the Disappearance Case (Chapter 1 of Unveiling the Secret)

"What are you trying to do, Baal? It's already very late."

Larry, reflected in the communication crystal, seemed quite displeased that Baal was contacting him so late. He was wearing silk pajamas, sitting on the bed, his voice as sharp and effeminate as ever:

"Are you here again to urge me to go find the Great Prophet? I already told you, I've been very busy lately, and the capital is keeping a close eye on me."

“I suspect that Raul has found an accomplice. His methods lately are far beyond what he used to do. There’s no way he could do that with his intelligence.”

"I've told you so many times, be patient, be patient. Just wait in the inner city. Seriously, after all these years—"

"I ran into him."

Instead of arguing with Larry, Barr interrupted him with a single sentence.

At first, Larry didn't react, pausing slightly before continuing to mutter to himself. But suddenly he realized what was happening, sat bolt upright, looked at Barr, and his voice instantly rose eight octaves:

"What did you say?!!"

“I said, I’ve met the person you asked me to find.”

Barr smiled and said he was pleased with Larry's reaction.

"Where did you meet him? How did you meet him? Are you sure it was him?"

Larry fired off three questions in quick succession, his face practically touching the communication crystal, as if it were about to pop out of it.

Barr didn't keep anyone in suspense and recounted his experience that evening.

He was resting in the inner city, but he couldn't sleep because he had so much to do, so he decided to go to the Knights to handle some official business and also check on the clues in the missing persons case.

But halfway to the Knights, he suddenly heard roars and the sounds of fighting. Unlike Peggy, he didn't have teleportation skills and could only walk there. By the time he arrived, the battle was over.

He hid around a corner, watching Miler and his group pass by with the unconscious Bojelica and the others. He originally wanted to step forward and question Miler about what he was doing, but when Luo Xiu passed by him, the crystals Larry had given him in his pocket suddenly heated up.

The scorching heat invigorated him, and he realized that Luo Xiu was the person he was looking for.

Why didn't you just take him down?

Upon hearing this, Larry couldn't help but speak, his expression urgent.

“They outnumber us, and there are others in the shadows. If I take direct action and fail to take them down, this infighting involving five vice-captains will definitely have to go to the Knights’ Court.”

Baal slowly opened his mouth:

"When the case goes to court, everyone will have their own version of events and argue with each other. It will take at least six months to reach a final verdict."
