Chapter 644: Bold
It was late at night, and Goron was walking down the street, feeling that something was wrong, like something was missing around him.
"By the way, what about the patrols? Why have you been walking for so long and not a single patrol has been seen? Not only the patrols, but why aren't there even a single pedestrian on the street?"
Although it is midnight, you must know that this is the imperial capital of Montenegro, a veritable city that never sleeps. Even in normal times, not only entertainment venues are open all night long, but also ordinary streets and residential areas, you can see swaying drunkards from time to time, as well as guards patrolling at night.
And now it is during the wedding of Emperor Durontal, the city gathers the country's top jugglers, the most coquettish dancers, the most generous merchants, and the envoys sent by various countries, plus there are all kinds of ghosts, snakes, and gods who come to the auction.
However, at this moment, not to mention the residential area, even Fengyue Street is dead silent. The whole city is like a ghost town, and there is not even a single movement around.
"Has the city been abandoned, or has the Duchy of Cool Bear come in while I'm exploring the ancient ruins? or is there some madness on the part of the mad emperor?"
When you think about it, it seems that the last conjecture is the most likely, but Goron quickly disproved these guesses. The reason is that he just peeked at several nearby houses with a see-through eye, and the houses were all inhabited, and at this time, whether these residents were asleep or not, at least they had obediently turned off the lights and lay on the bed.
The people are still there, and the furniture in the house is neat, which proves that there has not been a major event like being flooded by war in the imperial capital.
At least not yet.
If you want to know why it's so quiet, it seems that you have to wait for the little ogre to return to Mandala Fort to get the latest information.
In order to avoid extraneous complications, Ge Long tried his best to choose remote alleys to walk along the way, and sometimes even directly activated the sixth divine power to completely hide his figure. In addition to being a scruple about the magic detection devices that spread throughout the city, it was also out of a faint uneasiness.
Soon the little ogre came to the gate of Mandala Fort, and at a glance, Goron's heart was already half cold, because he didn't see the goblin mercenaries in charge of guarding, that is, his black-handed ogres in goblin skins.
It seems that the information is really correct, something must have happened on Aunt Michelle's side, otherwise without his own orders, those black-handed ogres with a tendon of their brains will definitely not give up the mandala fort guard mission he ordered.
Although there is no Goblin Legion to protect it, Mandala Fort is not undefended at this moment, on the contrary, it is very heavily guarded, and there are clear posts and secret posts all around the castle.
Of course, these people had nothing to hide from the eyes of Goron, who had activated the power of the second god, and they could all see it clearly.
The faces of the new guards are very unfamiliar, and they are by no means private soldiers affiliated with the Huwen family, but judging from their clothing and weapons and equipment, they are actually a little better than the private soldiers of the upstart Huwen family, and their combat effectiveness should not be much worse, at least on the surface, they are countless times more decent than using a large group of goblins to watch the family nursing home.
So the question is, with such power, why didn't they take it out when the Huwen family was about to fall? Was it because the head of the family was kicked in the head by a donkey? Or did this force not belong to Huwen in the first place?
"Who is it? dare to trespass on Mandala Fort, are you dying!"
Goron didn't hide his figure at the moment, it was natural for him to be discovered by the guards, and he didn't plan to hide it, he walked directly to the main gate of the castle and said to a group of hostile guards: "I'm Golia Huwen, Amanda Huwen, the patriarch of the Huwen family, and the nephew of the acting patriarch Michelle Huwen, I'm back, let me in immediately." ”
Hearing Goron report his own door, the guards were stunned at first, and then their expressions were very strange, and they looked back and forth with each other, but Goron just didn't see it, and repeated it again, and then stopped paying attention to these guards, who didn't even intend to take back their weapons, and walked directly towards the gate.
"Wait! Stop! You, you can't come in!"
As if he didn't see the spear and sword tip almost pointing at the tip of his nose, he glanced coldly at the guards out of the corner of his eye, and said in a cold tone: "Why, I am no longer welcome in this place?"
It is no secret that Goron was the biggest hero who saved the Huwen family from the brink of extinction, and then the true strength of this young master was also rumored to be mysterious.
Although there are not many people who have seen the little ogre shoot with their own eyes, but the traces left by his ruthless methods are still left in the mandala fort, the "wall ornament" that can only cry and die day and night, has long become a nightmare for many people, plus it is rumored that he once made the empire iron-walled, and General Zuode was disgraced. The story of storming the dragon-slaying feast of Snow Lion Castle and then retreating with his whole body has even been compiled into a poem by a brave bard who is not afraid of death, and sung it on the streets of the city.
Although it is difficult to equate the disheveled and gray-faced weak young man in front of him with his original face and the legendary little demon star young master, the shadow of the famous tree, the name "Golia Huwen" is not something that anyone dares to impersonate in the imperial capital, not to mention anything else, General Zuo De will openly speak cruel words, sooner or later, he will settle the general account with the little rabbit cub of the Huwen family, and he will not die. Now pretending to be the little master of the Xiuwen family is swaggering around, which is no different from taking the initiative to find death.
Seeing the cold killing intent flashing in Golon's eyes, the guards were suddenly frightened and retreated in an uproar. Goron snorted coldly, stretched out his hand and pushed the gate open directly, and stepped into the castle.
After such a toss, there were already many people in the castle who knew that Goron had returned, and there were sounds of scrambling everywhere, and then I saw an old man stumbling and rushing first, it was Sebasta, the great butler of Mandala Fort.
The old man's eyes looked up and down on Goron, first confused, and then immediately confirmed his identity, and the look of struggle and hesitation in his eyes flashed, and he immediately greeted.
"Oh, little master, it's you who are back, but aren't you supposed to be by that adult's side? and...... Why are you so dirty...... You're not going to run away from that adult...... Escape ......"
Goron turned a deaf ear to the old butler's inconsistencies and inconsistencies, and looked at the situation in the house, sneering in his heart, but the ferocious killing intent on his body was rising.
He still didn't see Aunt Michelle and his own people, and that was where the little ogre's scales were, and if he knew that these idiots with the surname Huwen had done something to his family, then he didn't mind letting the surname Huwen disappear completely, anyway, his real name was not "Golia Huwen", but Goron Black Hand.
The old housekeeper found that the "little young master" didn't care about himself, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he was one of the people who knew the little master's methods very well, and he also had objections to the decision of the family elders, but what was the use, he was only a distant relative of the family, and he was able to participate in the top secret meeting within the family, completely because he was indispensable in the new plan, he was just an executor, and how could he have the right to express his opinions.
"Young Master Golia, you, since you're all back, why don't you take a rest first, I'll let the kitchen get you something to eat first." ”
With a wave of his hand, Goron interrupted the old butler, who looked like a fart, and asked lightly, "What has happened lately? Why is there no one on the street?"
Hearing that Ge Long was finally willing to talk to him, the old housekeeper was overjoyed at first, but he didn't care about it, and hurriedly replied: "Little master, why don't you even know about this matter, the imperial capital is now under curfew, and no one is allowed to leave the house at will after the sun sets, no one is allowed to make noise, and ordinary civilians are not allowed to light lamps in their homes......"
"Curfew?" Goron was stunned, he was just asking casually, testing the attitude of the old butler Sebasta, but he didn't expect the problem to be so serious. Generally speaking, the state will only implement the curfew system when it is in trouble, and now the empire puts aside the real situation of internal and external troubles, at least now it is still the emperor's wedding, and the envoys of various countries gather in Montenegro, in any case, there should not be a curfew that will attract the shame of the country and openly show weakness.
Unless......
It's really big trouble.
Finding that Ge Long really didn't know about this matter, the old housekeeper looked left and right, and then lowered his voice and said to Go Long: "Little young master, it seems that you have been staying in a place where the news is very closed recently, and that adult is really ...... Alas, this matter has been in a uproar recently, well, this matter has to start from the beginning, first there was a big mess in the Royal Prison of Montenegro, the old Marquis Brahadley was assassinated, and he died in prison, it doesn't matter if this death happens, who would have thought that a shocking case would be involved......"
"Okay, okay, you don't have to start from the beginning, you just get to the point. Seeing the old butler's posture of wanting to make a long speech, Goron hurriedly interrupted, the old butler was stunned, and then began to reorganize the words, this task seemed to be difficult for him, and after a long while, he was sweating profusely before he spoke: "Well, that's the case, the undead natural disaster, it's coming......"
This time it was Golon's turn to be full of consternation, but he was not an accidental appearance of the undead scourge, after all, strictly speaking, he himself was a secret ally of the undead scourge, and he had long known about the outbreak of this natural scourge plague. What really surprised him was that Rena Catherine had done it so quickly, and it was different from the plan they had agreed upon.
"What's going on? You better be specific, well, don't have to start from scratch. ”
After that, the old butler's story made Goron silent for a long time, he never imagined that so many things would happen during his whim, exploring the prehistoric ruins.
