Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 697 Two hundred and seventy-four. People get his help

   Before dark, they returned to the Rotary City.

  Lu Li came to the hotel and told people that his companion had been found. Feeling the atmosphere of separation, the village chief of Abdel expressed his gratitude to Lu Li and Anna.

  Leave from the hotel and pass through the square. Here the theatrical performance appears to be over, and workers are dismantling the stage.

   Return to the mansion of Viscount Khamis. Viscount Khamis, who had learned of Lu Li's arrival, gave him a warm welcome—a dinner that was lavish even before the disaster.

"It's too hard to find beef with delicious meat. I can't even eat my beloved three-ripe beef, because it's hard to swallow." Viscount Hamis forked a five-ripe steak and spoke "noble language" with a barren land accent. The emotion was sent to the mouth. The teeth are closed, and the half-raw steak is chewed out of grease.

   Viscount Hamis wiped the corners of his lips with a silk handkerchief, raised his glass and drank the red wine.

   Nevertheless, he was extremely satisfied with the dinner.

   has nothing to do with the food, but because of the guests: three exorcists, one of whom is still the slayer.

  Is there a safer place in the revolving city than your own mansion?

  Lu Li and Gulian were eating quietly, only Anna didn't move the knife and fork in front of her, and hid her body in her cloak.

   "Don't you like this food? It's okay, I can ask the chef to prepare other things." Viscount Khamis said sympathetically.

   "There are still many people starving outside." Anna said.

   Viscount Hamis paused, turned his head and called the new butler behind him: "Give a hundred pounds of jicama to the poor outside."

   "People will praise you for your generosity." The new housekeeper knew what to say at this time.

   "No, Miss Exorcist is generous and kind." Viscount Khamis raised his glass and gestured to Anna.

  Lu Li stopped to eat and looked at Viscount Khamis: "The resources in Rotary City are scarce, don't you plan to migrate to the coast?"

   He saw Anna's distaste for nobles enjoying extravagant delicacies while commoners could only starve, and it was a good thing for Anna.

"Lack of resources? No, Mr. Demon Slayer, you must have made a mistake." Viscount Khamis narrowed his eyes and deliberately showed off: "The food stored in my cellar is enough to last three or four months, and every caravan has enough food for three or four months. Come every week."

   "What about those civilians?" Lu Li asked calmly.

Viscount   Hamis paused and said, "Food may be a problem for them, but they can leave at any time."

   After the not-so-friendly dinner, Lu Li and Anna returned to Gulian's room.

   "You want to help the civilians outside?" After closing the door, Gulian asked Lu Li and Anna.

   "There's nothing around the revolving city, and it won't be long before people have no food," Anna said. "Then they will either leave or starve to death here."

   "They might not be able to leave then." Lu Li's words made people even more silent. "The nearest storm point to the Rotary City is 130 miles away. It is difficult for people who have been hungry for a long time to migrate that far."

   "Lu Li, I want to help them." Anna's scarlet eyes were pleading.

   Lu Li couldn't refuse Anna, he nodded lightly and said, "The only way to save them is to migrate to Storm Cape or Thunder Fort."

  Luleibao is relatively familiar, but 20 miles farther than Cape Storm—a 20 mile trip that will trip many weary people.

   "I've been to Cape Storm, where the environment is harsh but there is no shortage of food, and the city owner should also welcome migrants." Gulian said.

   The remaining question is how to make local residents willing to leave.

  People are mostly short-sighted and lucky.

  It is difficult for them to see the crisis in the distance, or they see it but feel that the crisis will not come to the door.

  Maybe many people will die on the way to migrate when they leave the revolving city, but their endings in the revolving city are predictable.

   Although reaching Cape Storm might just extend their lives for a while...

   "We can rescue the imprisoned city lord." Gulian suggested.

  The lord and they are in the same faction. With the city lord leading, they will encounter much less resistance.

   The voice fell, the door was suddenly slammed open, and four guards surrounded Viscount Khamis into the room.

   "It's a pity to hear the content of your conversation..." Viscount Khamis said with regret. "But I'm sorry the three exorcists, I can't let you do this."

   "You want to imprison us?" Gullian stepped back vigilantly and reached for the psychic gun.

   "No, you are honorable guests, but you will be temporarily staying at my mansion for a while." This is not bad news for Viscount Hamis, at least the exorcist will stay.

   "You got one thing wrong." Anna whispered. The spears in the guards' hands suddenly detached from their palms and floated in the air, with four spear tips pointed at Viscount Khamis in front of the door. "This is your chance."

The    guards retreated in fright, only one loyal guard wanted to draw his spear, the latter seemed to be part of the space, frozen in mid-air motionless.

   Viscount Khamis stared at the tip of the spear in front of him, cold sweat fell on his forehead, and he bowed very simply and said, "The Khamis family obeys your orders."

   Viscount Khamis' mutiny made the plan of Lu Li and others better implemented. He knew where the city lord was being held and was arranged to bring the city lord back.

   "Remember what I said about the solution to the time of silence?"

When Viscount Khamis left, Anna said to Lu Li: "Some human believers in the church are imprisoned in the dungeon during the silent time. When the migration starts, we can take advantage of the chaos to go to the dungeon to rescue them, pretend that the believers are mixed in, and go to the silence with them. The oasis where the body is located at that time.”

   In addition, Anna told Lu Li a key piece of information.

   Human worshipers can make their voices heard in the rituals of the time of silence.

   Viscount Khamis returned shortly after. Having seen the true power, he did not betray and successfully rescued the bewildered city lord.

   "I'm Nwa Ebili, the lord of the revolving city... Are you looking for me?" Nwa Ebili was in good condition, but he looked haggard after being detained for too many days.

   "The guards of other nobles are also guarding, and I can't tell you your plan." Viscount Khamis explained.

   Gullian stepped forward and told the Lord of Enwa Ebili of their plan.

   "That's exactly what I'm going to do." The city owner of Enwa Ebili nodded solemnly: "But I want to know how the situation in the city is, if there is no food at all..."

   "It's not that bad." Viscount Khamis waved his hand and said generously: "And I can contribute all the food."

   Viscount Khamis seemed to want to tie himself to Lu Li's warship.

  The city lord of Enwa Ebili was surprised by Viscount Khamis' attitude, but he still shook his head and said, "Not enough, there are at least 20,000 residents in the city."

   "We can contact other nobles." Gullian said. Her words made Viscount Khamis look gloomy.

   "They won't agree." Lord Enwa Ebili frowned.

   "No, they will." Gullian was confident.
