Chapter 20: The Continent of Allahabad
Allahabad is one of the three major continental plates of the Steeu world, and unlike the resource-rich Valkam and Ophelia, this continent is barren and full of deserts and Gobi.
Because it is not easy to survive, in order to compete for limited resources, this continent is in turmoil. Even if an unborn king occasionally unified the continent, a powerful dynasty had to deflect internal contradictions and wage war on the other two continents in order to maintain its rule.
However, the monarchy of Valcam was not an ideal target for war, so it was natural for the powerful dynasties to set their sights on Ophelia, which was more resourceful and politically politicized. For many years, the inhabitants of both continents regarded each other as feuds.
When Charlotte arrived in Allahabad, it coincided with the decline of the Machar dynasty, which ruled the continent. Similar to the war-torn continent of Valkam, the people of this barren land are struggling to survive, and in order to survive, tribal chiefs have raised the banner of rebellion, and folk careerists have also co-opted the displaced people to stand on their own.
On her way to her destination to rendezvous with Claire, Charlotte encounters a war and dozens of fights in the desert. Often, one moment they are still in a certain tribe, and the next moment that tribe is attacked by a powerful tribe nearby.
The war in Allahabad is more bloody and brutal than in Valkham, and the victorious tribes will enslave all the women of the losers, and often after a war is over, they will shamelessly start an uncovered assembly, venting their fears and fanaticism on women.
Charlotte is not a saint, and he understands that his power cannot change the tragic fate of this continent. At this time, he just silently hid his tracks and left the cruel hell.
But to be honest, he was in a terrible mood in the face of such hellish atrocities.
The agreed meeting place is the royal capital of the Machar Dynasty, which is a typical mountain city, the city stands on a mountain, the scale is magnificent, and you can vaguely see the majesty of the Machar Dynasty when it was strong. But now the city wall is old, many defects have not been repaired in time, and when entering the royal capital, the soldiers in charge of interrogation are not far behind the street hooligans. In the face of female entrants, the soldiers giggled and moved their hands and feet, and in the face of male entrants, they tried their best to blackmail each other.
Charlotte thought that even he, a crappy commander, could easily storm the city. From the attitude of the city guards, you can see how rotten the top of this dynasty has become, and when you enter the city, the city is obviously lacking in vitality, and the expressions of the inhabitants are insensitive, and they look like they have nothing to love and are resigned. The shop was deserted, and I finally saw a store full of people, and when I looked closely, I found that it was all treacherous people who wanted to blackmail.
All in all, the first impression of the city is one of chaos and numbness. Charlotte thought to herself, the guys of the Annihilation Society really have a vision, and if it were me, I would also develop here. Although the Valcam continent is also at war, there are great powers, except for the San Lorenzo Empire, which has been in the waning past, the sovereignty of the rest of the countries has not been lost. Compared to the cost of planning a terrorist attack in Valkham, there is no doubt that it is more reliable to cause trouble in Allahabad.
Although she deliberately avoided the slums that were dilapidated and full of sewage at first glance, Charlotte, who was used to the neatness and cleanliness of Icewind Castle, still found the smell of the streets very unpleasant. Lacking the appetite to see the city, he made his way to the agreed meeting point with Claire.
Thankfully, the hotel in the only clean block was chosen as the meeting point.
After confirming the room number with a communication device in advance, Charlotte walked straight to the luxuriously decorated hotel room and knocked on the door of room 503. Soon, footsteps were heard inside, and the door clicked open.
It was a three-bedroom suite, luxuriously decorated and clean, and Charlotte felt that this was the best hotel in the royal capital.
It was Willett who opened the door, and when she saw Charlotte, the Bloodline princess nodded and smiled at him rarely. Claire didn't seem to be in the room, but a middle-aged man with a scar on his face was nervously standing in front of the living room couch, and he smiled uneasily when he saw Charlotte.
Charlotte could see at a glance that the opponent's strength was around the seven rings, and judging from the calluses on his hands and his lean body, he should be a master-level assassin. Charlotte politely smiled back at his flattering smile.
Claire happened to be out of the house. Violet welcomed Charlotte into the room, "You sit down first, I'll make you a pot of tea, just in time for the person in charge here to explain to you the information about the Annihilation Society." ”
Seeing Violet making tea with ease, Charlotte's face stiffened slightly, and she wondered if she and Claire must have had some indescribable relationship, but this kind of talk is not good for a girl after all, so he sat down on the sofa and said politely, "Then please." ”
The conversation made the person's eyes light up, but overall he seemed more nervous.
Although it has long been seen that the identity of the man who can make Violet open the door is by no means simple, but if he can also make tea for the princess of the blood clan, then the identity of this person is more than a simple sentence that can be summarized. The person in charge counted the well-known figures in his heart, and soon, he had a bottom in his heart.
"Tell the Grand Duke. He knelt down on one knee and saluted Charlotte, "The Annihilation Society's stronghold is located in the mansion of the Minister of the Interior of Alar, the inner city, and as far as I know, the Minister of the Interior of Alar has joined the side of the Annihilation Society. But whether it is sincere or not, the subordinates are not clear. However, it is very likely that the Annihilation Society will plan some actions in the near future, and the subordinates have noticed that there have been some unidentified guys coming in and out of the minister's mansion recently. ”
Wei Lit, who was making tea, seemed to be in a good mood, and scolded with a smile, "You have a lot of vision!"
The person in charge smiled uneasily.
Charlotte laughed in her heart. Can be responsible for the intelligence assassination work of a royal capital, where can the person in charge go? But Charlotte has a good impression of this person, although his report is simple, but what should be said has been briefly summarized, if Charlotte wants to inquire about the situation carefully, he must have done his homework in an instant.
However, Charlotte was not interested in the details of the Annihilation Society, and after three months of study and arrangement, his vision was now extremely high. As far as he is concerned, unless it is an existence of the level of the Root King, a god, or a thousand-year-old legend, what is the other party planning and what does it have to do with him? If he gets serious, no matter how powerful the organization is, no matter how sophisticated the conspiracy is, it is just a trivial matter that can be solved in a few days.
Now he has completed the transformation from a chess piece to a chess player.
"Thank you for the information. At this time, Willet's tea was just ready, so Charlotte casually asked, "Would you like to have a cup of tea together?"
The person in charge showed a regretful expression, and it would really benefit him to have a good relationship with a character like Charlotte in the future. But it seems that it would be a bit too unsophisticated to continue to stay.
"Thank you, Grand Duke, but I still have some things in my organization, so I'll deal with them first? After that, the person in charge said goodbye and left, and he couldn't help but feel infinite envy for the two disciples of Charlotte in the intelligence.
"Then I won't keep you. After seeing the person in charge leave, Charlotte turned to Willett, "So, do Claire and you have any plans?"
