Chapter 311: Rumors
As if sensing something unexpected, the silver-haired man furrowed his good-looking eyebrows slightly.
"The seal is loose, is he going to be revived so soon?"
His voice was gentle and mellow, with a hint of vigilance and solemnity.
Then, he turned his head and looked far to the southwest, thoughtfully.
"It's time to come or to come......"
He sighed slightly, as if he had made some kind of decision.
After a moment, I saw him turn slightly, change direction, and disappear into the crowd.
The people around him seemed to have no reaction to his disappearance, as if this person had never existed......
……
Maple Leaf City.
A week has passed since the day of God's wrath.
That's right, the day of God's wrath.
To this day, people still remember the golden pillar of light that fell from the sky that day, the Eternal Church that disappeared in an instant, and the various visions that followed in the sky.
That kind of powerful power is completely beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, and I am afraid that only the true god possesses.
Some devout believers believe that it must be the power of the Lord of Eternity, and that the people of Maple Leaf City must have done something to anger the great true God, so they sent down divine punishment......
Of course, there are also many shallow believers and those who believe in other true gods who are still skeptical.
In the last six months, there have been frequent visions in various parts of the empire.
Events that would normally be classified as miracles have become commonplace.
And the activities of the Church of Despair in Maple Leaf City for several years have not been without effect.
The apocalyptic doctrine they propagated for the sake of proselytizing also left a deep shadow on people's hearts with the emergence of various visions......
Of course, the most subtle thing was the reaction of the White Maple Castle in the Maple Leaf Lord's Mansion after that night of horror.
As the master of the Frontier Lord, the Border Lord did not even come forward after the incident, but only sent guards to maintain the chaotic order of Maple Leaf City and isolate the ruins of the temple.
Moreover, there is no explanation.
It wasn't until all kinds of rumors spread wildly in Maple Leaf City that White Maple Castle lightly issued an announcement explaining the overnight change a few days ago.
It is to the effect that some covert organization lurking in Maple Leaf City has destroyed the church and caused a battle among powerful beings.
This secret organization is called the Church of Despair, and it is suspected that it is an evil organization that believes in a certain evil god.
At present, the great frontier Berotto von Cappadocia has secretly tracked down the cult's den, completely destroyed it, and burned the arrested members at the stake.
Soon after the announcement was issued, the White Maple Guards affiliated with the Border Boss tied dozens of hooded figures to the square in the center of the city and burned them all to death in front of the residents of Maple Leaf City.
In this regard, the whole city of Maple Leaf City was in an uproar.
Some applauded, some questioned, some frightened, and some breathed a sigh of relief.
However, regardless of the reaction of the public, the matter was finally suppressed.
And although the official did not specify what the powerful existence was, the rumor of God's wrath gradually spread among the residents.
Time always fades away.
After a few days, the residents gradually forgot about what had happened.
Only in the tavern is it occasionally mentioned as an after-drinking conversation.
When the sky falls, there are tall people on top, and ordinary people still care more about their own small days.
The business district, the home of the Golden Apple Comptoir.
At this moment, some short figures are gathering in front of the tall building.
They carried the ladder, took off the logo belonging to the Golden Apple Firm, and put on a brand new sign.
From time to time, pedestrians pass by here, stop curiously, and read out the small lingua franca on the sign:
"Amway Comptoirs?"
For a while, many people whispered:
"Amway? Is this a new comptoir? What about the former Golden Apple Comptoir? ”
"Don't you know? The Golden Apple Company went bankrupt more than a week ago! I heard that I met a fraud gang from the south......"
"Shhh...... It was able to deceive the Golden Apple Chamber of Commerce into bankruptcy! If memory serves...... Behind their comptoir is Baron Baird, right? ”
"Huh...... Baron Baird? Haven't you heard? It was because of bankruptcy that the Baron had committed suicide in his study......"
"Shhh...... How much money has been cheated...... So what's going on with this Amway Chamber of Commerce? Never heard of it before...... Hmm, that's not right...... Amway ...... It seems to sound familiar again...... I remember! Isn't this the same chamber of commerce organization that has recently bought and sold goods in taverns? ”
"Cut, you just remembered! I heard that this chamber of commerce is from the dwarf clan, and some of their things are really good, and ...... The commoners of the empire are also allowed to participate in shares and make money together with dividends, and I heard that some people have earned a lot of gold pounds in a few days! ”
"Really? And such a good thing? ”
"Can there be fake? Didn't you see that there were so many people queuing at the door? They don't go to buy things, they all want to buy shares, and they only need 5 gold pounds, or items of the same value, to be able to join their chamber of commerce...... Then, if you work hard, you can become a 100-pound millionaire within a year! ”
"Shhh...... 5 gold pounds! Hell, that's my family's income for a year! And invest 5 pounds to make a hundred pounds? They can't be scams, right? ”
"Hey, you don't understand, if you want to know what's going on, go over and take a look, and then draw conclusions after reading it."
"Let's talk about it. It's been a mess lately...... It's a fraud gang again, and it's punished by God, and I've heard that there seems to be a black dragon on the border recently, entrenched in the Dark Mountains. ”
"Hey...... I've heard about it, too, it's a black dragon! I heard that it seems that people have been arrested and eaten, and they are still harming the village in the border village, which is terrible......"
"I don't know, the lord will organize a team to solve it, a black dragon...... It's scary to think about. ”
The one who spoke, shook his head and sighed.
Similar talks arose one after another in the crowd of onlookers.
And behind them, a red-haired man dressed as an imperial nobleman stood there, smiling at the long line in front of the Chamber of Commerce, his face full of sneer.
The companion beside him hesitated, turned sideways, and whispered in his ear:
"Big Demacia...... Let's do this...... You won't end up being hunted down by the entire Maple Leaf City, right? Shouldn't it be more low-key? ”
The red-haired man smiled and shook his head absently:
"Panic what. Do you see that my Black Rock City affair is yellow? ”
After saying that, he turned back to his companion and asked:
"By the way, how's the follow-up to the hidden mission?"
His companion nodded:
"Word got out of every tavern, anyway...... Now the entire Maple Leaf City should know that a powerful black dragon has appeared near the border! ”

The second one is late, so let's see it tomorrow.
