The greedy merchant who was rescued by Adrian was filled with doubts about the cryopar in his cargo, and he asked Talen Crawford to inquire about the merchant's origin and whereabouts.

Tarun was not polite to the merchant at all, and no matter how flamboyant and sophisticated he was in business, he could not resist his coercion, temptation, and torture. Crawford gets a lot of important news, the merchant seems to be a big fish, he is employed by a boss named Philip, who runs many businesses, such as timber felling near Danse Forest, such as the renovation of the imperial capital, and even some mysterious projects that are not known to outsiders.

The ins and outs of the cold spar were also inquired about by Talen. Taiping Mountain, more than 100 miles outside the city of Birti, is the source. In order to increase the speed of logistics, Grand Boss Philip uses this magical stone as a support. The merchant who fell outside the Birty Church was fortunate enough to enjoy this special treatment and convenience, but he actually hid it from the big boss Philip and took some personal work for himself, and borrowed these cold crystals by the way when he was doing his private work. Of course, this thing is not strange, but if the big boss knows, he will definitely have to walk around without eating. Although cold spar is not a rare treasure, after all, it still needs to be found and collected from the ground, and if you are lucky, you can also get it from some ancient tombs. These things can't be put on the table, and the people of the Tambolance Empire basically believe in Bojiao, and Bojiao is very repulsive to those pagan magicians who use cold crystals as a medium to cast spells. The businessman was most afraid of making a name for himself, and Philip used cold spar to speed up the logistics, which was done secretly and secretly, but the merchant who fell at the door of the church did not care about this, and arrogantly embellished stones on the goods transported, and even wore some pieces around his waist and on the neck of the old horse. The magic stone became a ridiculous good luck charm for him.

Albert has always been haunted by the fact that Kaigen was injured by the magic of a Kentan soldier wearing a cold spar on his waist at the Mangdun Pass. Although this merchant had nothing to do with the enemy, the fact that there was a cold spar in Taiping Mountain still aroused the alarm of His Highness. Could there be a connection between the two? Where did the cold spar of Kentan come from? This is not the first time that the word Taiping Mountain has appeared, and the Cortése Neo had prepared to take Princess Claudia there, under the pretext that the Count of Destini had an old mansion there. Neo, like His Highness, must have come to Birty for the first time, how could he have gained the trust of the old earl so easily?Was it because of the old earl's stupidity?Or was there some other, more hidden reason?The words cold crystal, Taipingshan, Kotés, Kentan, these words kept swirling in Albert's heart.

The weather was fairly sunny on this day, and the western part of the country was sheltered by mountains, which not only prevented the sea breeze from blowing here, but also kept the temperature at a high level in both summer and winter.

Although Albert had a lot to worry about, the gradual recovery of Kegun's body still filled him with hope. The only thing that pleased His Highness was that the Kingdom of Destinib was more dry than the Duchy of Borot, and that was not as damp and sticky as the city of Solo.

In the temporary residence of the Duchy of Borot.

After everyone's careful care, the dwarf Kai Gong who was in a coma has gradually woken up, and the first thing he said was: "Lao Tzu wants to drink!"

The thief Best, as the person who knew him best, suddenly opened his eyebrows and smiled: "He's fine!

The elven ranger Kreese sighed from the sidelines.

Others were neither as optimistic as Best nor as sad as Krees.

Tarren Crawford's advice to Albert was this: "Kentan cannot hold on to it by virtue of natural danger, and we should not act rashly. The old earl has been ill for a long time, and it is difficult to continue, and Neo, who is taught by Cortés, obviously will not be subservient, and the most important thing to do now is to wait and see what happens in the city of Birti, and definitely not let people take advantage of it after the earl's death. ”

"Is the Count really so sick?" Albert did not sympathize with the old man, and although he had a crush on Princess Claudia, he had never thought of the two together.

"The earl's illness is indeed strange, I remember when I entered the city with Henry, the old earl was still very energetic at the banquet, and it has only been a long time before it has become so unbearable. Taron paused slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and there was a thought in his heart that could not be shaken down, so he leaned into Albert's ear and whispered to add, "I think someone poisoned him or cast some evil magic spell!"

I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, as soon as Tarun finished speaking, a muffled thunder suddenly sounded outside the house.

Everyone's mind was on Kagun, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

"The people of the city of Birti are all willing to die for Princess Claudia, although the old count has been incompetent all his life, but after all, he has not made any great mistakes, who would want to put him to death? he is also the princess's own father!" Albert felt a little incredible, and his voice suddenly rose up, as if echoing the muffled thunder.

Just when everyone was gossiping and talking, the wind and rain suddenly broke out outside, and the originally bright sky suddenly turned gray, and dazzling lightning flashed in the distance, and then rumbling thunder also sounded.

As an elven ranger, Krees's observation and understanding of nature is beyond the reach of others, and he said with a slight hesitation: "It's the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, and the weather is a little strange, and the thunder comes too suddenly. ”

As soon as the words fell, the whole room began to shake violently, and Tarun reacted quickly, and was the first to shout: "It's an earthquake, everyone run to the open space outside!"

He and his brother Henry and the thief Best rushed out with Cagan on their shoulders, and although the dwarf had the strength to speak, it was still some time before he got out of bed and walked.

The earthquake came at a good time, and coupled with the wind and rain outside, everyone was a little panicked for a while.

Albert's mother, Mrs. Charlotte, also rushed out of her room, and the mother and son were together.

The so-called blessing and misfortune are not a single line, the foundation of this temporary mansion is not solid, and as soon as everyone walks with their front feet, its back feet begin to creak, and it is obvious that it is about to collapse. Mrs. Charlotte said only one thing: "Let's take refuge in the church." ”

The rain became more and more intense, the thunder became more and more cheerful, and ordinary earthquakes usually only lasted a few tens of seconds, but this time it far exceeded this time limit. In order to prevent the unhealed Kai Gong from catching a cold, Krees was in a hurry, and wrapped him tightly around him with magic vines as if he had saved a dwarf in front of the mouth of the mang. On the one hand, this can protect the short man, and on the other hand, it can also save the running crowd the strength to lift.

Krees was the only one in the group who could talk calmly while running, after all, the most basic criterion for being a ranger in the Danse Forest was not to die. He said to Albert and Talen Crawford: "Your Highness, Commander, I don't think this earthquake is a natural disaster, and I will tell you more about it when I get to the church!"

At this time, the city of Birti has become a pot of porridge, there are crying fathers and calling mothers to wait for being stoned to death in the house, there are people holding their heads in their hands, not daring to open their eyes, running around like flies without a head and being tired half to death, and there are even more "real warriors" who are resigned to fate and are waiting to be killed. In the face of disaster, everyone is equal, and everyone shows their truest side.

Before the poor old Count of Destiny could get up from his sickbed, he was knocked unconscious by a beam smashed down from the edge of the bed, and his servants were so busy running for their lives that they completely forgot the old count's life and death. The Earl's Mansion and the place where Albert and others lived, the building structure is connected, so you can imagine what will happen.

The old earl had a chance to escape, but soon after he fainted, he was awakened by the earth-shattering wails in the palace and the city. The old man was still in his mind, so he dragged the sick body out of bed alone.

The ground was constantly shaking, leaving the long-ailing man at a loss. He staggered and saw that he was about to get out of the house and be reborn, when a beam of thunder rang out, and the ground shook even more violently, and the old man stumbled, fell to the edge of the threshold, and his teeth were shattered. He fainted again, and it was fatal.

The Count's Mansion could not withstand the heart-rending shaking and collapsed with a bang, burying the old Count de Stini in a hurry.

The old man has only done one meaningful thing in his life, and that is to raise Princess Claudia, and nothing else is worth mentioning.

The strongest building in the city of Birti is the Church of Liberal Studies. Mrs. Charlotte's decision to take refuge in the church was indeed the most correct decision.

Bishop Mirière and Princess Claudia are helping the refugees who have come to the church to take refuge, some of them are citizens living near the church, some are smart people who make the right choices in times of danger, and some are the darlings of heaven who have made great friends by mistake.

The Bishop treats them equally, no matter what their origins are, no matter what the other party shows in a critical moment, Mirière sees them as a family from the bottom of his heart.

Adrian, a reborn prisoner of hard labor, helped the bishop to do what he could, he was strong and strong, and some of them were physically and mentally unable to withstand the sudden blow, and they had run outside the church, but they were no longer able to step in. Adrian carried them one by one, carrying them on their backs or dragging them, and carried them into the lobby one by one. He also took a great risk and ran around the houses outside the church to see if there were any poor people left behind. Although the wind and rain were blowing, and although there was a danger of being swallowed by the ground, he never tired of it, and got a lot of happiness from it that he had not felt before.

Princess Claudia was most worried about her father's safety, and her maid Catherine constantly comforted her and told her not to worry. Bishop Mirière was too busy healing the wounds of the suffering people to comfort the princess for a while. Claudia was the bishop's favorite person, and he regarded her as if she were his daughter, but Bishop Mirière was also a servant of heaven, and it was his highest duty to take care of the public, and the bishop would not forget his duty.

By the time Albert and his party arrived at the church, it was almost full. At this time, the earthquake had subsided, but the wind, rain, thunder and lightning continued to exert their power.

Claudia cared about her father, and she knew that Albert's mansion was on the edge of the Earl's Court, so she didn't care about face at the moment, so she rushed forward and took Little A's hand to inquire about the safety of Count Destini.

The young highness shook his head, indicating that he did not know. Claudia pressed several times in a row, but received this disappointing reply, and she refused to let go of His Highness's hand for a long time, in order to get an answer that would reassure her.

At this moment, a burly figure flashed on the side, and he volunteered to find out the news of the old earl for the princess. Who exactly is this person, and listen to the next breakdown.
