The place where Ronald settled is at the beginning of the Waterway Avenue.

Because of the quick leap down from the top of the waterfall, this location close to the city is the closest in a straight line.

And what he's going to do now.

It is to follow this road all the way to the east, eliminating the potential hidden dangers of all businesses up to Black Pine Street.

Just don't wait for Ronald to take the first step.

In a nearby corner of a shop lit only by street lamps, a man who had been resting against the wall straightened up and immediately trotted closer to Ronald.

"Mr. Ronald?"

"Why did you cast a spell to come to this place at such a late hour?"

"And I see where you're coming from...... I guess it's from the Consulate, right? ”

After being stopped, Ronald immediately swept his gaze over the man, and immediately recognized that it was an Entrode agent on night duty.

"Hmmm......"

"You're just in time!"

Looking at each other, Ronald immediately had an idea in his heart.

Being able to work the night shift on this street, this guy must be quite familiar with the vicinity of the commercial street, and at the same time, he can save himself a lot of effort.

So Ronald immediately took out the token that Kandingland handed over to him and showed it in front of the other party:

"I just received a commission from Kangdingrant, and now I want to investigate some things here in the business district. If it's your working time, come with me. ”

"Huh?" Agent Entrode, who came up for questioning, was stunned.

Originally, he just came up to ask about the situation on a routine basis, who would have thought that as soon as he opened his mouth like this, he would be directly requisitioned?!

……

However, the token of Kangdingrant in front of him cannot be faked.

The spell of "The Structure of the Human Body", which is the original text, is the most popular thing for Agent Entrode. Those of them who had learned the spells in it naturally couldn't mistake the breath of the original text above.

"Mr. Ronald, I'm just an ordinary spellcaster, do you really need my help with the affairs of you big people?"

The agent also wanted to try to avoid working late night overtime this time.

However, Ronald shattered his illusion with a smile:

"Come along, you'll be able to help."

“……”

"Anyway, there is a ...... going on above the Consulate" Seeing that Ronald began to move forward, the agent could only follow with a bitter expression. It's just that just as his words of inquiry came to his lips, the guy stopped again very wisely.

The agent's mind was moving fast.

He's an ordinary street patrol agent who asks about the Consulate.

- Isn't this another no-brainer?

I'm already going to be forced to work overtime today, so try not to make trouble for myself.

The mindset changes in an instant.

The agent's questioning also shifted the subject quite naturally:

"As long as it is an order from the Consulate, I will obey it unconditionally! Mr. Ronald, if there is anything you want me to do, just ask me to do it, and I will cooperate unconditionally! ”

“……”

Ronald glanced at the agent with a subtle expression. He saw the other party's state of mind at the moment, so he didn't break it.

Following the agent's tone, Ronald continued:

"I'm here mainly to investigate the specifics of the business district, especially those who have been in close contact with Barty for the last month or so."

"...... have a relationship with Batty-sama"

The agent was taken aback by what Ronald was going to ask.

However, he also knew the priorities, suppressed the whimsy that was jumping out of his heart, and the agent immediately replied to Ronald:

"Because of the increasingly complicated situation in the city, Lord Barty has been showing up frequently in the business district for the past month, and he has indeed protected the safety here. As for the ...... who had close contacts with him"

At this point, the expression on the agent's face was a little hesitant.

Ronald, who noticed the other party's hesitation, immediately changed to a serious tone:

"If you think about it, the information you give me must be as accurate as possible."

"This matter is very important, and it is related to the safety of the entire Waterfall City!"

"Yes! I understand! The agent was excited, and then he continued honestly, "In the past month, I have been in close contact with Lord Barty, including the Zriel candy store in front of us, the Ikrera perfume workshop farther away, and the three shops of Naihe's handmade clothing. ”

"The owner of the candy shop is related to Lord Barty; The other two are high-end stores under the control of large chambers of commerce, and they are both quite famous places in the city. ”

Ronald nodded in understanding, then reached out for the agent to continue leading the way:

"Then let's go to this Zriel candy store first."

"Yes!"

Then the two of them walked one after the other into the depths of the street.

In the process, Ronald also activated most of his detection spells, and in addition to monitoring the psychological activities of the people around the surrounding streets in detail, he also specially used the [polygraph] that he hadn't used for a while to deal with the next inevitable interrogation scene.

Soon, the Zliel candy store arrived.

The shop is located at a T-junction on the street and is clearly one of the most prime locations on the entire street.

It's just that since it's late at night, it is naturally impossible for the candy store to still be operating at this time.

"These shops have guards at night, sir, you wait for me to knock."

After a brief explanation, the agent himself stepped forward and called for the door.

As an agent of Entrod guarding the streets at night, he quickly opened the door of the candy store.

That is, at the same time as entering here to report his identity.

Ronald learns the name of the agent next to him who is leading him to investigate, Oakle.

……

It's just a pity that the results of the search are worrying.

The ensuing investigation did not go as smoothly as Ronald entered the street, the head of the candy store was in good health, and Ronald did not find any signs of eukaryotic invasion.

The whole store is in a good operating condition, and even the clerks on night duty have no problem checking them one by one.

- There are no dangerous eukaryotes lurking here.

So say goodbye to the candy store.

Ronald continued to be led by Oakel to the two places of the perfume workshop and the clothing store.

On the way, he also kept an eye on the condition of this commercial street.

However, along the way, until the perfume workshop and clothing store were investigated, Ronald still failed to find any traces of eukaryotes.

It was a fruitless operation!

……

Could it be that the eukaryotes have eroded Barty's body and have not had time to continue their activities?

When it was close to the wee hours of the morning.

Ronald stood on Black Pine Street at the end of this search, his expression a little solemn.

He remembered how the eukaryotes had fought to control Barty.

The kind of state that can even use the art of perfection...... Barty has obviously been controlled by eukaryotes for a long time, otherwise how could he have shown such a strong combat capability?

They can't have done nothing!

But the question is - where are these guys' actions hiding?
