Intuition told Syl that if she could investigate the Physician's information clearly, it would be of crucial help to her own investigation.
Moreover, she had to take the opportunity to probe Baro Bonsandi's stance and ask him about his views on the madness of exploitation of workers in the Iviza West District.
After all, this matter was directly related to whether she could complete the quest "The Fall of Iviza" and how to go about completing it.
Going to Bonsandi's place would allow her to gather quest clues, test Bonsandi's composition, and also inquire why she had been reported by the newspaper... Thinking it over, she had to go there.
Thinking this, Syl's pace quickened as she walked towards the Duke District.
The number of people on the street was starting to increase. Because her identity had been published in the newspaper, Syl was a little worried that she might be recognized while walking.
Following the route the carriage had taken previously, Syl soon walked along her memory to the Avenue of Protection in the Duke District.
The Avenue of Protection formed a semi-circle wrapping around the Queens District, so it was relatively easy to find the house without getting lost.
Syl quickly found the Bonsandi mansion. The two guards at the gate seemed to be the same two from yesterday.
Upon seeing Syl, they immediately performed a respectful knight's salute, then asked in a low voice, "Lord Silver Crow, I will go notify Master Bonsandi right away..."
One of the guards said this and trotted towards the direction of the mansion, fearing that he might neglect Syl.
It seemed that the matter of "Lord Silver Crow having cured the eldest miss" had already spread throughout the mansion.
Syl also stayed calm and waited outside. Less than a minute later, she saw the tall, thin figure of Baro running over from a distance.
The large feathers on his shawl made his running look exceptionally comical, just like a large black moth flying towards her.
"Lord Silver Crow! Oh... I thought it would be very difficult for me, Bonsandi, to meet you again in this lifetime." Baro's tone was slightly exaggerated. "Please, come inside, Lord Silver Crow. May I ask what brings you here today..."
"A follow-up visit." Syl did not speak, simply following Bonsandi.
Walking in front, Bonsandi turned sideways and said as he walked, "I have really troubled you. My daughter's physical condition is very good, and most importantly... I can see her smile. This is all thanks to Lord Silver Crow."
"Where is Lord Silver Crow currently residing? If you don't mind, I could help you purchase a permanent residence in the Duke District. This is just a small token of my appreciation."
Purchase a residence in the Duke District?
The Duke District was quiet and heavily guarded. Almost every house there was at least a detached villa.
Most importantly, it was close to the Queens District, and it wasn't something you could buy just by having money. It could be said that Baro had truly spared no expense to thank Syl.
However, when Syl heard this, the first thing she thought of was not the house, but an opportunity. An opportunity to probe Baro's views on Ibiza.
Syl feigned indifference and said casually:
"I have no fixed abode; I generally only stay where I am needed most, where a physician is needed most."
"Uh... where would that be?" Baro paused for a moment and asked cautiously.
"Ivisa District." Syl spoke indifferently. "Arms lost due to incorrect operation of machinery, sudden death from long hours of exhausting work, jumping off buildings because wages were withheld... There are too many wounded there waiting for me."
Hearing this, Baro seemed to trip over something. He stumbled, and after steadying himself, he said:
"In fact, I also feel sympathy for the plight of those workers..."
Baro looked left and right. "But I have no way to help. Those factories are only nominally mine; I have no actual control over them."
"How should I put it... just like a scapegoat lamb that can be discarded at will?"
When saying these things, Baro's expression was filled with helplessness; it seemed he was not lying.
