The Doge's Palace is located in the heart of the city of Agripina, the highest point of the city, and is connected to the heart by a series of roads like blood vessels.

At this time, it was a war, and the outer city walls and all the neighborhoods of the Governor's Palace were breached by the Ba Gaoda elements, and the shouts of killing seemed to be a sound barrier, enveloping the place to death. The soldiers of Bagunda were like the black and poisonous molecules, and they gathered together to turn into streams of black blood, passing through the blood vessels of the street, desperately trying to break through the outer barriers, and completely kill the "heart" that was still beating.

There is a large area of flat land on this high ground, all paved with smoothed stone slabs, and in the center of it is the Doge's Palace, with white marble columns, which is probably the only intact structure.

"Get up, Luga!"

Fred helped me to my feet and gently touched the wound on my neck with his hand. At such a gentle touch, a sudden tingling sensation suddenly made me feel that this body was finally back in my control.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

I clutched the wound on my neck, but it wasn't deep, or I would have died. Looking at the centurion behind him who wanted to kill me, this guy still looked at me and Fred with an unchanged face, as if he didn't feel the slightest guilt about me here. I'm afraid I think that Fred or even Arecio can't do anything with him, yes, that's how confident he is!

"Hey, let go of Andrew!"

Fred stretched out his hand and pointed at Andrew, who had stopped struggling when he was pushed to the ground, and beckoned to the centurion, "They are the guests of Governor Arecio. ”

"Huh." The centurion sneered, he didn't seem to take Andrew seriously at all, but Governor Arecio's orders, he had to follow whatever he said.

Unconvinced, he gave Fred a fierce look, turned around, and commanded the five soldiers, "Let him go." ”

The soldier understood, and let go of Andrew, who struggled to get up from the ground, patting the dust off his body and glaring at the centurion.

But Fred didn't think much of him, or didn't care about such a very faux pas. He smiled awkwardly at me, shook his head, and said, "Let's go, Lord Governor, you don't have much patience. ”

He ignored the centurion and led me with Andrew towards the gates of the Governor's Palace.

In the midst of the war, the once peaceful Governor's Palace was long lined with soldiers running to and fro, heavily armored soldiers and archers wearing only loose shirts and trousers. They were busy, rushing to their combat posts.

"First of all, I'm very sorry, Mr. Luga, I am on the orders of His Excellency Governor Arecio, and he actually expected such a thing to happen recently, so he took precautions."

Although the soldiers on the road were in a hurry, when they met us, no, it should be said that they would avoid Fred so that we could pass normally.

Within a few dozen paces, Andrew and I followed Fred, and in the blink of an eye we were at the door of the Governor's Palace.

Even if the situation was in crisis, the front door of the Governor's Palace was still guarded by heavily armed soldiers, and when they saw Fred coming, they immediately opened the door of the Governor's Palace. This door is indeed cumbersome, presumably also considering the problem of defense, and the soldiers guarding the outer gate shouted a few words inside, as if they were saying a code. I only heard the clanging of bells inside the door, and the wooden door was slowly opened under the push of six strong men.

"Okay, you go in, I still have something to do, so I won't go in."

Fred stopped in front of me, turned around, and looked at the two of us.

I don't know what I'm thinking at this point, but I'm blaming Arecio, if this guy hadn't found out that we had escaped and captured us to guard the outer walls, we wouldn't have fallen into the hands of the Bagorda elements. If it weren't for the leather armor he gave us, we looked so different from theirs, and that's why we were almost killed. Feeling that all of this was Arrecio's fault, it was all his frame-up, and I really couldn't imagine how they would come up with any excessive ideas now.

"Alright then, let's go inside!" I nodded at Fred and beckoned to Andrew, and the two of us prepared to walk into the Governor's Palace, where I had been absent for ten days.

"Hey, Mr. Luga."

Just as I was about to get started, Fred stopped me from behind me, and I turned my head and looked at him suspiciously. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, twisted the ten fingers of his hands together, and said to me with a guilty face: "Mr. Luga, in fact, you don't want to be right, well, just blame His Excellency the Governor for something, or let you get into a deep predicament, in fact, he also has a hard time, after all, he is still not too much, not very ......"

"Don't believe in who we are, do you?"

I thought he was talking too abrasively, so I interrupted him directly. A hint of surprise flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure and spread his palms out at me, as if he had finally been honest with me.

"Well, that's probably the idea, you know, there are Bagorda elements everywhere, and God knows how many spies are hiding in the city, let alone bringing them from outside. In short, Lord Luga, the Governor is a good man, I think so! ”

With that, he nodded at me, then took two steps back and turned to leave, he must have been placed in a defensive team to defend Arecio against the Bagundam soldiers.

I watched him go far enough for me to take with me. Andrew walked into the Governor's Palace, and as I expected, as soon as he entered the room, the light dimmed instantly. It feels extremely quiet and a little weird, and this is very Arecio, who himself is as mysterious as the Doge's Palace. The dim light of the fire, burning unhurriedly in front of us.

"Boom!"

The wooden door behind him was slammed shut, along with the noisy shouts of killing outside the house.

It was completely dark, as if the whole world had fallen silent. The whole world was only the slow-burning oil lamp on the table in front of me and the constantly beating flame on the oil lamp.

"Here we are."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded, right in front of the two of us, Andrew was so frightened that his whole body trembled, but I didn't have as much reaction as him, I must be familiar with this guy's methods. The words were short, and there was no more to follow, and the whole room returned to calm.

"Here we are."

I answered him, raised my head, and in the darkness before me, slowly closed my eyes, forgot the pain in my neck, and listened quietly, in the darkness, I heard the sound of breathing, not just the breathing of a person, Arecio had been prepared.

"Light the fire, I know you're there!"

I calmly watched the darkness in front of me, though I couldn't see anything but the faint light of the fire.

"Hmph, hehehehe......"

There was an eerie laugh in the darkness, like a ghost. The laughter then stopped, and only a "coax" was heard, and several torches burned in the darkness, lighting up the spacious hall.

As I expected, it wasn't just Arecio hiding in the darkness, there were also a large number of heavily armed soldiers. Arecio was still dressed in loose white robes, still so lazy lying on the richly decorated bed on the highest pedestal, and the heavily armed soldiers were expressionless, lined up in the audience around Arecio. Like Arecio, he stared at me and Andrew.
