“…… Where is this? ”

Looking at the photo, looking at the child in the photo, Edward was silent, facing these big watery eyes, Edward couldn't help but sympathize, the dirty child's eyes were full of doubts and fright.

The person who took the picture was of a good level, and the child in the barrel managed to arouse Edward's sympathy, and then looked at the child again, and Edward closed his eyes and silently perceived.

Then, Edward's eyes snapped open, and there was a terrifying glint in his eyes.

Intuition told Edward that the location of the photo should be in Sibia, but with the overall development of Sibia, will Sibia be miserable?

And if there was such a place, Edward believed that the United Church would be the first to step up and send its men to the relief effort.

However, to Edward's puzzlement, Edward, who predicted the child's situation, was still uncomfortable, Edward frowned slightly, and through his intuition, Edward understood that the boy in the photo was still in a rather dangerous situation!

Edward, with doubts in his eyes, glanced at the lower left corner of the photo, where there was a date, and the date showed that the photo that appeared on the Shadow Instrument was taken the day before yesterday.

For this reason, Edward became more and more confused, what about rescue?

In two days, with the energy of the United Church, a rescue team should have arrived a long time ago and launched an effective rescue, and the boy should have been safe according to common sense, but why, why did Edward's intuition tell Edward that the boy in the photo was still in danger of dying at any moment?

Through the prediction, Edward, who noticed a slight feeling of physical discomfort, understood that the situation at the moment meant only one thing - the boy was not rescued!

The city lord who was sitting opposite Edward and heard Edward's muttering was slightly stunned, he leaned over and glanced at the shadow instrument that Edward was looking at, and the city lord who happened to have seen the report of this photo earlier immediately said: "Where did the crown say that this photo was taken?" ”

Edward looked back at the city lord, and looked at the other party's confident appearance, Edward immediately asked, "Where does the city lord know where this is?" ”

"It's right next door to us, well, across the Tanggula River to be exact. The background of this picture is the city of Leo in the Kingdom of Emmen. ”

"Rain Country?"

"Yes, that's right."

Edward showed a puzzled expression, the "Land of Rain" Emmen Kingdom, because his church had recently accepted refugees from the Emmen Kingdom in the free clinic activities, Edward did some research on the Emmen Kingdom.

During Edward's investigation, Edward received a rumor that the Kingdom of Emmen was a kingdom abandoned by the gods.

Thinking back on this rumor, Edward couldn't help but make some speculations, and then Edward asked the city lord with a complicated face: "Emmen is like this, hasn't the United Church sent a rescue team to the Emmen Kingdom yet?" ”

"Huh?" Hearing Edward's question, the city lord was stunned, "Why didn't you send it, send it." After the earthquake, the United Church received the news that the Kingdom of Emmen had been devastated, and sent a rescue team, but the rescue team was stopped. ”

"Stopped?"

"The people from the Emmen Kingdom stopped the rescue team and stopped them at the checkpoint into the Emmen Kingdom." The lord of the castle seemed to think of something, and sighed softly.

Edward was shocked, what was this operation? Sick and shutting the doctor out?

Edward wondered, "What's the situation?" ”

"It's still the same old problem, the people of the Kingdom of Emmen are protesting against the reduction of the minimum living allowance issued by the United Church in recent years, so they have blocked the rescue team of the United Church."

Hearing this explanation, Edward immediately said with a strange expression: "The people of the Kingdom of Emmen are sick, right?" When is this all gone! ”

In the face of Edward's words, the lord of the city just said with emotion: "Never speculate on the brain circuits of the people of the Emmen Kingdom. How to put it, maybe they really have a brain disease. ”

"No, wouldn't the United Church rescue team ignore this group of people, it's clear now that it's important to save people."

"The problem is that the blocking party of the Kingdom of Emmen is holding a no-entry order issued by their king. Your Majesty, you also know that there is a greater or lesser gap between the Crown and the Church in Sibia. Now all the rescue teams that want to enter the Kingdom of Emmen are stuck, and the people of the Kingdom of Emmen simply do not allow any rescue teams affiliated with the church to enter their kingdom. ”

"Why?" Edward was really curious, curious about what the people of the Kingdom of Emmen, the Land of Rain, thought.

"Because the people of the Emmen Kingdom ask for money, any church force that wants to enter the Emmen Kingdom for rescue must make up the guarantee money that the Emmen Kingdom previously 'owed' to the Emmen Kingdom, and then the Emmen Kingdom will provide this church force with a church walking permit belonging to the kingdom. The Kingdom of Emmen is different from countries like our Kingdom of Harrio in that they are not under the jurisdiction of the United Church, so they still have this special license. ”

"The situation of the United Church, Edward, you should also know that the rules of the United Church are the foundation of their foothold, and for such obstruction, the rescue team of the United Church is indeed unable to enter the Kingdom of Emmen to carry out rescue. Without proper formalities, the United Church was stuck in the run. ”

"Guarantee...... With the United Church guarantee, they are not affiliated with the United Church? ”

"The United Church's system of lower Kingdom security was open to all of Cibia, and was originally established primarily to gain the hearts and minds of the people. I remember that a few decades ago, someone on the United Church side proposed to change the security system, but it seems that for various reasons, it still hasn't been approved. ”

"Okay." Edward nodded helplessly, "So Emmen does get the money?" ”

"Yes."

"The United Church is blocked...... What about non-United Church rescue teams? Lord Castle, you just said that there are rescue teams from other churches, right? Do they have to be blocked on the official road and take a detour to other places to enter? A kingdom is so big, there is always a place to enter. ”

The lord shook his head lightly and said, "It's useless. ”

Edward's eyes froze, his eyes full of confusion.

"It can be said that the entire kingdom is built on the water, and it is not impossible to enter the kingdom from outside the official road, but it will soon be discovered that there is a special profession in the Kingdom of Emmen, called 'Spider Keepers', and they will cultivate a special spider called 'Drop Spider', and it can be said that the entire Aemen is full of spider keepers' eyeliner."

"It's a church, and Emmen asks for money. The picture you just saw is said to have been placed on the official road by the people of Emmen Church, as a coercion to block the church rescue team, what kind of 'save the children', urging people to make up the 'arrears' for them. ”

For this kingdom that does not enter oil and salt and wants money to die, Edward is a little confused.

After a moment of silence, Edward frowned and asked again, "What will happen if you break in?" ”

"First of all, they will definitely be stopped, and secondly, the people of the Kingdom of Emmen will protest, and similar things have happened in the Kingdom of Emmen before, and then several churches have broken in, and as a result, those churches that have broken through have been accused of 'illegal mission' by the people of the Kingdom of Emmen many times and have held protest marches. Sir Edward, do you think that the average small church can afford this kind of smearing? The worst thing is that, according to the rules, they do care about the matter of 'illegal proselytizing'. ”

"......," Edward thought for a moment, "So, I am now puzzled by one thing, how can such a kingdom still exist?" ”
