Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 557

   The silhouettes of the Orion father and son are obscured by the crowd.

  Looking back, Lu Li looked at the government personnel and guards who walked down the steps. After the former identified Lu Li's identity, he politely asked what help he needed.

   "Did the bloodline of Archduke Adra survive back then?" Lu Li asked.

"Grand Duke Aidra...Old St. Mark's Principality?" The government official with the mustache asked tentatively, and after getting an answer, he thought: "Of course there are archives of the Old St. Mark's Principality, I think...Mike should know more , please come with me and I will take your Excellency to see him."

  Lu Li shook his head gently, and the knuckles on the armrest tapped the wheelchair: "I'll wait here."

  The government staff showed a hint of apology, and was about to go back, when he remembered something and said: "...I take the liberty to ask if it has something to do with weirdness?"

"Yes."

   After all, this is the offspring of the Swamp Mother.

   "Okay, let's do it as soon as possible." The government staff turned around, walked up a few steps, and suddenly turned around and said, "Your Excellency can wait in the cafe opposite, it may take some time to find the file."

"Um."

  Lu Li nodded, waited for the government personnel to disappear in the city hall, turned around and pushed the wheelchair to move towards the opposite side.

  It seems dangerous to cross the street where horses and carts flow, but before reaching the middle of the road, Anna has already rushed back to Lu Li and gently pushed her wheelchair back to the cafe.

   Sitting back opposite Lu Li, Anna pushed the steaming coffee in front of Lu Li.

   "Ask?"

   "No, they're investigating the archives, they'll have to wait here for a while."

   He nodded lightly under the cloak, and a delicate and pale neck could be vaguely seen. Anna asked gently, "Are you hungry?"

   It was less than an hour before noon.

   "I'm not hungry, but I want to eat something."

On the fourth day of    living in the refuge, the items that Anna brought back no longer included "vegetables". Except for jicama or potatoes, all vegetables are rotten and spoiled.

   The meat was slightly better, and the meat stored in the low-temperature cellar rotted more slowly, but it was completely spoiled two days before they left, and even if it was charred with charcoal fire, it could not hide the smell.

   Fortunately, Anna scavenged enough canned food, potatoes, dried meat, dried fish, and spices. Even without using previously stored cans, these foods are enough for a month or two.

   No matter how delicious food is eaten repeatedly, it will lose its taste, not to mention that these are just common and common ingredients.

   "A glass of milk, and an empty glass."

   Lu Li said to the waiter who passed by with the plate.

  The waiter made a note to leave.

   "Let's find a restaurant to finish the work of the Swamp Mother?" Anna asked softly.

"Um."

   Lu Li still has more than 2,000 shillings on him, and it is best to spend them before it depreciates completely until it is useless.

   Soon the milk and the empty cup were delivered. Lu Li first picked up the milk and took a sip. The milk smelled like hay, inferior syrup, and preservatives.

   Obviously not fresh milk but milk powder, but at this time, you can't ask for too much.

  Lu Li picked up the coffee and poured it into the empty cup. But because of the slow movement, the coffee slides along the cup to the bottom and spills on the table.

   "I'll do it." Anna took Lu Li's hand, took the coffee cup, poured half of the empty cup, left half, and filled the two cups with milk.

  The aroma of coffee beans is enough to mask the peculiar smell of inferior milk.

   "Do you need me to feed you?" Anna smiled softly at Lu Li who held the cup to her mouth.

   Lu Li shook his head and refused, slowly drinking the blended coffee and milk that was no longer hot.

   When the first cup was finished, a government official rushed out of the city hall door outside the window, looked left and right, ran across the street, and rushed into the cafe.

Looking around the guests, his eyes lit up when he saw Lu Li, he put a few pieces of paper in his hand in front of Lu Li's table: "Are you an exorcist? This is the information you want, please destroy that one. monster!"

   He mistakenly thought that Lu Li was solving a strange event.

   The excited voice of the government staff was a little loud, which attracted the attention of other customers in the cafe.

  Lu Li didn't explain too much. After thanking him, he picked up a few pieces of paper and looked at it.

  It records the information of the descendants of Adela.

  Because of the prestige of Archduke Adela, and it was near the end of the total war, the era of exorcist mediation was coming, and his family was kept intact, but was taken to the city of Ellen and deprived of all wealth.

  Although the Ellen Kingdom was very kind to the defeated, the clansmen who had long been accustomed to the noble life could not endure the dull, boring life of the commoners, and it was even difficult to fill their stomachs.

  The son of Archduke Adela, Prince Charles, the family fell apart after failing to do business with all the remaining property of the family. Except for Grand Duke Aidra's direct bloodline, the rest of the family have left and lived separately in the King City of Ellen.

   Maybe the descendants who have lost their past glory are integrated into the townspeople, maybe…

   So starting from the second file, only the descendants of Prince Charles and the descendants of his descendants are recorded.

   "Are any of his descendants alive?"

The last page of the    file is an old man named Lilia. She is the last direct line of Archduke Adela, if she were still alive, she would be 58 by now, and probably the only surviving descendant of Archduke Adela.

  According to her seniority, she should be called the aunt of the mother of the swamp with nine ancestral characters in front.

  The government personnel glanced over Lu Li's shoulder and replied quickly, "Yes, she is the only one left."

   "Where does she live?"

   "Uh...I have to go back and check again."

  Lu Li handed the file back to the government officials: "Trouble."

   "No trouble..." The young government official smiled shyly, and hurried out of the cafe again. Through the window, in a hurry, he was almost hit by a carriage driving on the street.

  Lu Li suddenly retracted his gaze and fell to the store manager who walked to the table.

   He sincerely expressed his willingness to exempt the esteemed exorcist from this expense. After the store manager walked away, he showed a look towards this side.

   A little boy brought a plate of biscuits to Lu Li's table at the behest of his mother.

  Lu Li is like an animal in a zoo being watched by onlookers, but most of them are kind and curious.

   If in the Allen Peninsula, this kind of treatment is completely impossible.

   Fortunately, the attention of the guests only lasted for a few minutes, and it was not until the government personnel came in that they were curious again.

   This time, the government personnel brought Lilia's address, the northwest area outside the royal city, which is between the civilian area and the slum.

  The situation of the descendants of Archduke Adela was not very good.

   After getting the address, Lu Li and Anna left the cafe.

   City Hall and Lilia's residence span nearly half a city, and it takes two hours to walk. Although Anna enjoyed pushing Lu Li to walk the streets, it was a waste of time.

   They rented a carriage from the carriage shop, loaded it off, and went straight to the destination.
