As for the special investigation team, the story goes a bit back.

When Caesar and the others arrived, the investigators told Claire about a message Abra had asked to pass on. The gist of it was that he specially recommended her a special investigation team and wanted her to treat them well and at the same time she could rely on them and entrust them heavy responsibilities so that they could help her solve her troubles.

Such words garnered Claire’s attention.

What kind of team was it that was worthy of her to rely on?

As for the details of the team, this was how Abra described them… this team was extremely strong, the leader was called Lin Xiao, mature and poised, he excelled in strategizing and could find the best solution in any situation. There’s also a strong magician in the team called Yao Zi, she’s a possessor of the wizard’s bloodline and she had enough strength to rival an entire squadron of magicians!

“Wizard’s bloodline!?”

When they heard Claire’s description, everyone there widened their eyes in disbelief.

They’ve all heard the legendary stories about the wizard’s bloodline, but they never thought that they actually existed.

If it was true, then it was great news to raise their spirits.

A leader that was mature and poised with extremely strong members, that was exactly the kind of reliable people they needed right now!

“Tsk, are they really all that? It’s probably exaggerated.” Unlike everyone else’s excitement, Andre crossed his legs and poured a bucket of cold water over everyone.

“No, it shouldn’t be, Abra has no reason to lie to me, it doesn’t benefit him.” Claire shook her head and denied his claims.

Claire has some impressions of Abra, he’s a well-known alliance office manager from Nighttown. His strength may be mediocre but he was experienced and had a good eye for people.

For example, when there was that incident at the wailing canyon, Abra formed multiple teams and finally successfully chased the demonic beasts away and cleared the way.

According to reports, they attempted it a total of three times, and the last time that special team was responsible for the main attack and Yao Zi alone easily defeated all the demonic beasts. Yao Zi’s strength was undoubtedly a crucial part of their success, but Abra’s clever arrangements were also an important part of it.

So it showed that Abra was an old fox who was a good judge of people and his personally recommended special investigation team was surely skilled!

“Okay, okay, princess you’re right, I’m just worried you’re being tricked… so, where is that oh so powerful special team? When are they going to arrive?”

“That… I don’t know either.”

Although she trusts Abra and also is looking forward to that special team to help them break the stalemate, but they still haven’t arrived. It’s already been several days, no matter how slow they are, they should have already arrived by today…

“Hmph, they’re probably too scared to come, and afraid of making a fool of themselves.”

Claire frowned slightly.

“Andre, please watch your attitude, I don’t want to hear you defame a team without any evidence!”

“Uh… princess, I apologize, I was just making a joke, a joke, haha.”

Andre’s smile abruptly stiffened as he was directly reprimanded, he scratched his head and gave in but didn’t feel good.

This bitch Claire just puts on airs because she has a bit of power, she pretends to be righteous but her body is extremely vulgar and she likes wearing sexy short skirts. She even uses the excuse that they’re easier to fight in, but from what Andre sees, she’s just trying to seduce men!

While staring under her skirt, Andre began plotting how to secretly kidnap her and then share her with his brother during the mission… after all, a handsome beauty like her was rare, and she had no shortage of admirers, but everyone was afraid of her aura and status.

But this time, Andre didn’t believe that this thorny rose was untouchable!

“Cough, let’s get back to business, prince Claire, since they’re late, why don’t we go pick them up?”

“Sigh, of course, I want to, but… I, I don’t know what they look like.”

“Hah?”

Claire was clearly embarrassed as everyone stared at her.

The only problem was within the message she only knew that there was a man called Lin Xiao and a woman called Yao Zi, as to whether they’re short, tall, fat, or skinny, she didn’t know anything. She didn’t even know how many people there were on the team.

It’s not like she can hold a sign that writes Lin Xiao and Yao Zi and then run all the way out of the city carrying it! Then she’ll get a new nickname the next day, crazy princess.

“Not knowing their appearance is indeed troublesome… but perhaps we can speculate based on Abra’s descriptions!”

“Speculate… how?”

“Princess Claire, think about it… Yao Zi is a powerful female magician, so can a young magician be very strong? Impossible! So, she must be an older magician, like an old granny!”

“Old granny? Hm… that makes sense.”

“Then, what kind of person is Lin Xiao?”

“Him? It’s simple. Abra said that he’s mature and poised, excels at strategizing, he’s also the leader and he can make someone as strong as Yao Zi listen to him… so I’m guessing he must be an experienced middle-aged mercenary that has experienced countless battles and have climbed out of numerous piles of bodies that tempered his intellect and temperament!”

“Middle-aged mercenary?”
