Plorin District.
This area was separated from the slum by just one street, and the people coming and going were no longer gentlemen and ladies but plainly dressed commoners and the poor.
The carriage stopped at the front of the district, and hungry people's greedy eyes fell upon the carriage and some of them stared at Lu Li who had alighted.
Anna pushed Lu Li to the door, knocked on it, and then stood silently behind him.
Staggering footsteps sounded from behind the door, followed by an old voice asking, "Who is it?"
"Investigator Lu Li, the Marsh... Princess Roland sent me here."
There was a moment's pause behind the door, a click, and the wooden door opened a crack, an old face appeared behind the gap, sizing up Lu Li warily, "Princess Roland?"
"Yes."
"Ordinary people wouldn't know about my bloodline..." Lily mumbled to herself, stepping back to open the door wider. "Whoever you are... come in, young man, I hope you mean no harm."
