Chapter 90: Changes in Stormwind
Iros followed in Leo's footsteps and returned to Randolph's village, where the villagers looked anxious. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the same time, Leo noticed that horses had stopped at the entrance of the village, and the village's news channel was extremely simple, it was just hearsay, and it was possible that someone from inside and outside the village had brought back some news.
I came to the hut where the village chief was, and there were several fresh faces in it, judging from the clothes, they should be the villagers in charge of procurement in the village.
Randolph was naturally there as the village chief, but this respected old man looked a little melancholy at this time.
"Mr. Leo, are you done?"
Seeing the visitor, he smiled reluctantly.
Judging by Randolph's expulsion, he was not a man who was good at hiding his emotions.
"Let's talk about what's going on."
Hearing this, Randolph nodded, and asked the unrelated villagers with surprised faces to step back.
"It's about your journey, Mr. Leo."
"Stormwind's new lord, Kozmo, has been executed in front of the people of Stormwind on charges of 'uniting the Fallen' and 'usurping the throne of the city'."
"The missing old city lord, Terrence Storm, has been recovered, and the party involved in the plot is currently being purged."
"That Lord Randall of the Luna God Sect directly ordered the blockade of the Beast Cart's Avenue, and many chambers of commerce were dissatisfied with this, but the voices of resistance were suppressed."
"Maybe—"
Randolph hesitated and looked at Leo.
"Go on."
After receiving the reply, Randolph said worriedly: "The blockade of the Beast Car Avenue requires a decree from the Astaire Kingdom, maybe the Lord of the Moon God Sect has already received a signal from the Duke of the Imperial Capital. ”
"Duke Dreiser, for example, he is currently the most powerful of the Dukes of the Imperial Capital."
Perhaps the Dreiser had sensed that something had happened to the chess pieces placed in Stormwind and was ready to be cleaned by the hands of the Cult of the Luna?
To Leo's surprise, Terrence, the old city lord who had been murdered by Kozmo, was not dead.
According to Kelsey, the siege of Terrance Storm was crucial, so a Blood Mage was sent to guard the mine.
Now this blood mage is most likely in the hands of Randall of the Luna Sect.
Duke Dreiser's ruthless behavior is probably that he would rather kill by mistake than let go, and he must be trying his best to find the missing Kelsey now.
"How's Mercester doing, and besides, is there any news about Quentin Grote?"
Leo's question startled Randolph, who had not heard of Quentin Grote's name.
As for Messeste, it seems that it has been sealed by the city lord of Stormwind City, and the news of its chamber of commerce owner, Saint Zachari, has not leaked out.
"And the warrior believers of the Luna Sect have set out to clean up the Red Rock Thieves, and it won't be long before they break into this mountain forest."
"Kozmo was caught at the docks in a vain attempt to escape by boat, and now may not be the time to go, Mr. Leo."
"If we can't exchange supplies with Stormwind, our village will have to move temporarily."
Randolph muttered as he peeked at Leo's face.
"If you were to move, where would you move?"
"Actually, there is nowhere to go, so I think I want to hide from the Red Rock Thieves." Randolph replied truthfully, "It's not safe here, so Mr. Leo might as well come with us?" ”
Leo was stunned for a moment, then understood Randolph's plan.
Dare wanted Leo to protect him and the people of the village from danger on the way.
Maybe the old man in front of him had expected such a day to take in those gray defenders.
This is also the principle of taking precautions.
"Well, this place isn't too far from other cities, and if you venture over the big forest, you'll be able to reach Strange Rock City before dark, right?"
"You can ask for help from other cities, but there are also many villages in the border areas."
Leo asked, recalling a map of the border region of the Astaire Nation.
"No, this matter involves the Fallen, don't you know, the Astaire Nation has always taken the Fallen very seriously."
"The knights sent to Stormwind City, and even outside of the Stormwind Sea, have stepped up the surveillance of various outposts, and that's just the bare minimum."
"The surrounding cities must have also received the edict, and it would be tantamount to throwing myself into a trap when I took the villagers there."
"The only place you can go is the depths of the forest on the Red Rock Coast, which is an unknown area, and even the warrior believers of the Luna Sect will not easily touch it."
"Everyone will feel at ease with you by their side."
Randolph's tone was very sincere, and his eyes lit up as he looked at Leo.
"You're so thoughtful."
Leo's eyes flickered, Randolph was also a nobleman in the imperial capital of Astaire, and he could probably guess the big action of the dukes, and what he said was very credible.
"When Kelsey returns, we can start the migration, and I'll keep everyone safe."
After a moment of thought, Leo agreed.
But the gloom on Randolph's face did not dissipate, but deepened.
"Anything else?"
"Yes." Randolph took a deep breath, a little apprehensive, "Originally, this place would not have been found so quickly, mainly because Miss Kelsey and the gathering team were attacked by the Luna Cult on the way back. ”
"Those samurai believers were so strong that she stayed behind to help the gathering team escape, but she still caught quite a few of them."
"As far as I know, the Cult of the Luna can use magic to spy on the secrets of ordinary people's hearts, and I'm afraid that the captured villagers will tell you where they are."
This was the real reason for Randolph's concern, and he was a little uneasy, for fear that Leo would be angry.
"Where's Kelsey?"
Leo had no interest in anything else, he frowned and asked.
"I beg your pardon, Lord Leo."
"According to those who returned, she was struck by the magic of the Luna Cult and subsequently surrounded by samurai believers, possibly caught."
Randolph leans down in panic and asks for Leo's forgiveness.
“・・・”
Leo cupped his forehead, remembering what Kelsey had said before leaving.
"By the way, master, how long are you going to stay here?"
"I think it's hard for the people of the Luna Sect to find out about this place, but just to be on the safe side, we can leave as soon as possible."
"The procurement task to go to the imperial capital can be entrusted to me, and I have channels to get some supplies."
He sighed helplessly, maybe this was a conspiracy against him?
But this is not right, Duke Dreiser could not have known about his existence at all, and why would he have the confidence to confirm that he would definitely go back to save Kelsey?
But is this just because of Kelsey's own bad luck?
His heart sank, and he immediately looked at Randolph who was leaning down with some coldness.
"Kelsey is not stupid, it is impossible for him to be ambushed by the people of the Luna Cult so easily, what else are you hiding from me?"
Randolph shuddered uncontrollably, and said in a trembling voice, "I don't know anything else. ”
"Then call the returning collection team out, and I'll ask for it myself."
Leo snorted coldly and stopped looking at Randolph.
