Jian Chen and Yue Lian then parted ways after entering the city from the merchant entourage.
"So what's your next goal?" Jian Chen asked.
"I'll look for the adventurer guild first, there is the only information gathering place for the criminals."
Yue Lian had not asked anymore about Jian Chen being a hunter nor after seeing what the young man had done to the officers before.
One of the questions on his mind was the reason why the impressed Jian Chen wanted to always accompany him.
The two finally walked through the city to find the adventurer guild, the city was quite crowded but there was something strange about the look on their faces.
Most of them walked with their faces lowered, their expressions grim and full of vigilance.
"Hm, I don't think the atmosphere of this city is too good?" Jian Chen stared around the townspeople passing by in front of him.
"I also think the same thing, it looks like they're on the brink of disaster or something."
It was a little difficult to find an adventurer guild in the city so Yue Lian asked the surrounding citizens, lucky to find out the name of the adventurer guild was quite famous.
The adventurer guild has a fairly large and three-story building in this city.
After meeting him, Yue Lian and Jian Chen entered the building, thinking there would be many people there but the circumstances were the opposite.
There was not a single swordsman inside except the administrative manager who was working at his desk while occasionally sighing heavily.
"Sorry but the adventurer guild has no mission now..." Said the administration manager without turning to Jian Chen or Yue Lian.
Jian Chen and Yue Lian looked at each other, they could see in terms of the buildings and the place where the adventurer guild was a common place that was always inhabited by warriors and visitors.
Seeing the place so suddenly quiet there was something wrong, especially there was no mission list from the bulletin board that is usually listed there.
The two then approached the administration, he then said the intention and intention of his arrival here is to find the kidnappers.
"You better forget about trying to catch the kidnappers, I don't know, but talking about it here is taboo."
"I don't understand, what do you mean?"
The manager then looked at Yue Lian from top to bottom, there was a weapon embedded in her waist that indicated she was a swordsman.
"Miss, it looks like you've just come to this town so don't know what's going on. About the kidnapping I'm sure almost all the people here know about it, the problem is they'll turn a blind eye to hearing it even seem to avoid talking about it."
Yue Lian increasingly did not understand, she wanted to ask again but Jian Chen was ahead of her.
"Can you get straight to the point..."
The administration manager's gaze then turned towards Jian Chen, a young man who had golden eyes.
The eyes of the administration manager widened instantly, he had a keen vision from birth.
When he saw Jian Chen, the administrative manager could see the immense power buried within the young man before him, the entire age he had only felt such a great power.
"Express, what's your name?!" The attendant looked at Jian Chen with a different gaze.
Yue Lian looked puzzled by the reaction of the administration manager after seeing Jian Chen but the caretaker immediately told her everything.
The manager explained about his city which is now changing drastically.
Starting from the adventurer guild that suddenly became quiet after the last few months the government forbids adventurers to eradicate criminals including kidnapping cases that are everywhere.
They seemed to prohibit reporting it either to the government or to the adventurer union.
The second was that the state of the city changed slightly, the officers who were usually on guard were now replaced with warriors who did not know where they came from, for sure they forbade foreign warriors from entering the city.
And lastly, every day there will be a car troupe carrying closed carts into the city.
The train group looked suspicious but the officers did not forbid them even let the group into the territory of the city government.
Of course the group became a question mark for the surrounding residents but no one dared to ask or voice it.
Recently there was a incident of someone who broke out of the wagon, the person who came out immediately shouted for help to the surrounding residents and said that they were being kidnapped.
That's when the residents finally found out that in the cart was a human, they believed that the train entourage was a case of kidnapping that had been heard.
Out of fear, citizens tend to choose silence rather than meddling. Including the warriors who saw him immediately turned their faces.
"What about the government, aren't they acting?" Yue Lian asked later.
"I assume that the government is the mastermind of all this, as well as the citizens who think alike."
The administration explained that the government had been strange since the officers were replaced by wild warriors. He believes that now the territory where the mayor is located has been controlled by bad people.
"You don't realize that these kidnapping cases aren't as simple as you've heard, they seem to be from a large group."
Jian Chen reminded Yue Lian not to interfere further in this affair, the Blood Sword organization was not a group of robbers he had met a few years ago. His strength is too much different.
"I can't just let it go, the person who kidnapped them is someone precious to me..." Yue Lian shook her head slowly.
Jian Chen let out a long sigh, he did not persuade any further because he knew clearly the nature of his lover.
At the moment when Jian Chen was thinking of an exit over the matter of Yue Lian, from outside the building came the sound of horse footsteps touching each other.
"That's the train I told you about earlier!" The administration manager hurriedly approached the window.
Jian Chen and Yue Lian glanced for a moment before approaching the window to take a clearer look, they then saw what the carriage entourage meant.
In the group there are 7 cars in a neat line. As the administration said, all the cars were closed and are now heading to government territory.
From the sides of the car there were fierce-looking warriors escorting the car.
The residents immediately took some distance when the train came, some of them immediately hid in his house with faces full of fear.
"So they're the kidnappers..." Yue Lian muttered softly while biting her lips.
From a single glance, Yue Lian realized that she could not fight them all, perhaps breaking through there was no different from delivering lives.
