When Estil and Joshua returned, what they saw was the scene of Michelle and Ryan sitting opposite each other solemnly.

When Michelle saw the two of them coming in, she waved and said, "Come and sit down. Although I just told a general idea in the contact, it would be better for both sides to exchange information in detail."

Estil was not interested in such things that needed to be brain-driven. After handing over the follow-up work to Joshua with confidence, he hurried out.

Ryan shook his head funny, "Qiya's charm is really a fight between men and women. In the morning, Teo and the others hurried to the Great Hall to watch Qiya's admission ceremony. Is it Estil's turn now..."

Joshua scratched his face with his fingers embarrassedly, "Haha~ Estil already likes cute children, and Qiya's cuteness is completely among the top three people she knows."

Michel clapped her hands and interrupted the two of them. "Okay, let's talk about the main business first. First of all, Joshua, what did you and Estil meet in the monastery?"

Yoshuya corrected his face and said, "The situation in the monastery is quite complicated. When we entered, the three superior attributes of time and space illusion were already very rich, and the entire space was completely alienated."

"For this reason, there were many monsters and strange mechanisms that should not have usually existed in the monastery. In the last sacrificial hall, there were even demonic monsters that the D∴g sect used to deny the goddess."

Ryan looked at Joshua solemnly and asked, "You mentioned in the contact just now that there is a badge of the D∴G sect in the center of the sacrificial hall?"

"Yeah!" Joshua's face turned a little gloomy. "There are still many dry dark red bloodstains around the heraldry, plus the statue of the goddess of the sky bound at the entrance..."

"If it were not surprising, this monastery was one of the core strongholds of the D∴G Cult in the Dark Age, but it was abandoned for some reason later."

Ryan tapped his forehead with a headache with his fingers, "As it turns out... Although it is not certain that the sect occupied the place built by the alchemist, it was still a cooperative relationship between the two parties, but at least the group of alchemists should have known the details of the sect."

Michelle said distressedly with his hands crossed his chest, "But it doesn't make any sense to know this. Those alchemists have long disappeared from history. We don't even know whether they still have descendants."

Ryan lowered his head and pondered for a while. He suspected that the Kurois family had connections with the group of alchemists, but he did not say it directly at this time.

"The next thing is my discovery. I have told Michelle about the specific situation just now. Let's just tell the conclusion. I met people from the Thirteenth Workshop of the Association, and they stole the magic books left by the alchemists in the Tower of Stars."

Michel briefly explained what happened to Joshua to Ryan. After hearing this, Joshua frowned deeply.

"The Black Workshop...I heard about them when I was still in association. The Black Workshop is one of the most exposed workshops in the Thirteenth Workshop."

"They often accept external orders to create powerful individual weapons, and the targets are usually hunters with very outstanding individual strength."

Ryan raised his brows slightly at this moment, and he suddenly recalled a sentence Sarah said at Tolista at the end of March.

‘In other words, is Charlie’s rumored chainsaw gun also very likely to be produced by Black Workshop?’

The information that the tower and the monastery can provide ended here. I guess there will be no more clues to continue exploring. Ryan quickly turned the topic to the last ruin - the Sun Fortress.

Michelle's face showed a hint of distress when she mentioned this topic. "I contacted Deputy Commander Sonia of the Guards, but she said that the commander received an order from the state assembly that the passage to the ancient battlefield shall not be opened until the guards find out the gap in the Sun Fortress."

Ryan spread his hands and said, "No wonder, the tourist attack happened not long ago. From a safe perspective, the ancient battlefield should indeed be temporarily closed."

Michelle shook his head, and he keenly sniffed out some anomalies from the strange commands received by the guards.

"I don't think it's that simple. Logically speaking, after the anniversary of the founding, we should start to thoroughly investigate the gaps outside the Sun Fortress, but in fact, the security forces are still not allowed to be dispatched until now, and Deputy Commander Sonia is also very confused about this."

Ryan and Joshua looked at each other, and both of them saw doubts from each other's eyes at the same time.

Joshua asked with a serious expression, "Did Deputy Commander Sonia say where the order comes from? Can you understand which member of the parliament issued the order?"

Michel sneered and said, "This has been found. The person who ordered it was Speaker Halterman himself. Although he himself said it was for the safety of the people in Kezhou, it is probably related to the upcoming mayoral election next month."

"Because of the visit of Earl Eagle, the attitude of the guard commander and the police chief has been swaying recently. He should not want to create extraneous points at this critical moment."

Ryan scratched his hair irritably. "That is to say that the investigation is now deadlocked? The most critical remains cannot be entered because of dirty political considerations. This is really..."

Michelle patted Ryan on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't rush for a moment, the sect leader was destroyed in the extermination battle 6 years ago. Let's wait quietly until the mayoral election is over before investigating. Anyway, there shouldn't be much change in just one month."

Then Michelle pointed at the sword that Ryan placed on the table. "Besides, forcing your exploring in your current state is not a good choice. Let's find a way to forge a good sword first."

Ryan nodded helplessly, "No need to say I have this plan, I will ask Master Kiyom later. I can only use the spare tooth knife first during this period."

Ryan's spare tooth knife is used quite frequently. Although it is not easy to use, it is definitely not as good as Biaoxue in terms of fit, but now it can only be used temporarily.

After leaving the association, Ryan said goodbye to Joshua, who was planning to go to the residential area to find Estil, and came to the old town alone.

It is still as depressed as usual, and the people living here are basically civilians at the bottom of society or people with poor backgrounds.

Master Kiyom's choice to open a store here is a helpless choice. First of all, his personal workplace has not yet obtained a formal business license, which is strictly illegal.

Secondly, Kiyom is a typical moonlight clan...

He has a deep understanding of the manufacturing and adjustment of guides, and forging of weapons and armors, but to keep himself at the forefront of the craftsmanship, it is indispensable to practice using various precious materials.

"The strongest material? Is it still necessary to say, of course it is Semuriya stone."

After hearing Ryan's request for Taidao customization, Kiyom gave the answer without hesitation.

"Semlia Stone?"

Ryan held his chin and rubbed it with his hands, "This kind of stone is not very precious, but didn't he always say that it cannot be processed because it is too strong?"

Kiyom smiled and waved his hand, "You are all old almanacs. Recently, the Epstein Consortium and Ryanfolt Company have jointly developed the processing method of Semlia stone."
