In the year 1642 of the Gods Calendar, in the coastal city of Dela, southwest of the Noranda continent, the dark night sky was covered with dark clouds, and it looked like a storm would come soon.

The streets have long been deserted, and the various ships in the port area have lowered their sails and entered the berths in the port area. One by one, the sailors were busy fixing the various things on board to the captain's loud shouts so that they would not disappear in the ensuing storm.

The people who had returned from work had already returned to their homes, or they were in the taverns, drinking cheap ales, and boasting loudly with the sailors about what they had seen.

The outermost slums are mostly lived by dock coolies, who cannot afford to light the lights at night.

As a result, only the lights flickered in the dark night of the slums—cheap inns and taverns, which at most provided the guests with a shelter from the wind and rain and some cheap food. As for comfort and safety, it depends on the ability of the guests themselves.

Walk through the slums on the outskirts of the city and over a wall that is not very thick but gives people a sense of security. It was to the outer part of the city of Deira, where merchants, craftsmen and petty nobles lived.

Roads paved with sand and gravel divide the outer city into areas of various sizes, mostly half-stone and half-wood, but also interspersed with one or two large masonry houses, which belonged to the small aristocracy who did not have enough capital to live in the inner city.

Although most of the residents who are able to live here do not have to worry about making a living, the cost of lighting the lights at night is not an easy expense for them to ignore. Therefore, except for those who are wealthy, most people still choose to sleep after dark.

And in the inner city, which is surrounded by walls that are thicker than the outer city, it seems to be another world. Delicate brick and stone houses line the streets, the neatly cut stone-paved roads are illuminated by softly lit spell lamps, and the small flower beds with colorful flowers on both sides of the road are particularly beautiful in the light, showing off the prosperity and comfort of the place.

Most of the people walking on the road are neatly dressed and elegant, whether it is a gentleman or a lady, they all have a slight demeanor.

In the richly decorated houses, the banquets, balls and salons of the nobles were even more lively. Gentlemen, ladies and ladies dressed in neat and splendid costumes gathered in circles of various sizes to discuss topics ranging from the situation in the southern part of the Noranda continent to the recent addition of a necklace by the lady of the city lord......

In the midst of this, a group of aristocratic youths were talking about a recent anecdote.

A thin young nobleman, with slightly sunken eyes and a slightly pale complexion, said mysteriously to his companions, "Do you know what happened to the Newton family recently?"

You mean the young master of the Newton family was injured?" said a noble young man next to him casually, "It is said that he didn't accidentally fall down while traveling?

"It doesn't seem that simple. Little Jacob, you're very well-informed, how about you tell me?" another aristocratic young man asked as he understood what little Jacob meant.

"Hey, hey. Seeing that the attention of his companions was basically attracted by the topic he was talking about, even a few noble girls were no exception, he nodded with satisfaction, lowered his voice and said, "I just heard about this matter, and you can just listen to it, but you are not allowed to publicize it." ”

"Okay, okay, we all understand people, we know what can be said and what can't be said. Don't sell it here, hurry up. The aristocratic youths urged in unison.

"Okay, okay, I'll just say that. Little Jacob grinned and said, "You know Gary Alec of the Alec family, right?"

"The sister-in-law of the Alec family, Gary Alec, has become an official knight since he was 14 years old, and it is very likely that he has now advanced to the intermediate knight. Gary Alec, who heard that he will join the Kingdom Knights and become a glorious Kingdom Knight?" said a noble young man, "What does this have to do with him?"

"O Gary Alec, he is one of the brightest rising stars in our city of Deira, and I have heard that he is tall and handsome, and has a sense of justice, and is courteous to others...... People like him so much," a noble girl exclaimed, as she became a nymphomaniac.

When the other aristocratic youths saw this, they couldn't help but twitch the corners of their eyes slightly......

"Ahem. Little Jacob hurriedly coughed a few times and pulled the topic back to the shift, "The injury of Muse Newton, the young master of the Newton family, is related to Gary Alec. ”

"Ah!" Hearing this astonishing news, the aristocratic youths couldn't help but exclaim.

Little Jacob, who was very satisfied with the performance of his companions and felt that his vanity had been greatly satisfied, lowered his voice again and said: "I heard that Muse Newton met a rather beautiful woman when he was on a trip and wanted to buy her, but he was refused. ”

He was annoyed and angry, and wanted to use force. Then Gary Alec happened to pass by and stopped Muse Newton's evil deeds. In order to stop Muse Newton, Gary Alec used excessive force to injure Newton in order to block the attack of the spell item used by Muse Newton in his anger. ”

"Oh, that's right! Muse Newton is so hateful, Gary Alec is right, and it is indeed the righteous Gary Alec I know. The aristocratic girl who had just committed a nymphomaniac scolded the muse angrily, and a nymphomaniac admired Gary Alec.

When the aristocratic youths learned of the news, they did not jump to conclusions. They are not fools, how can things between nobles be so simple, maybe behind simple things is hidden amazing intrigue and darkness.

One of the aristocratic youths who whispered to his companions about this pouted and said as if inadvertently, "What is it to us nobles to get a commoner woman?

Then he changed his words: "But I heard that the Newton family has not had a lot of disputes with the Alec family recently? I think they must be fighting for the management of the newly built port in the docklands." ”

"Hehe, a port represents amazing profits and the strength of the family. I don't know how much intrigue and darkness is brewing for this, but what you said happened to Muse Newton could have something to do with it, hehe......"

Hearing this, the whispers among the aristocratic youths became more frequent......

And all this seems to have nothing to do with Muse Newton, the person involved in this incident......
