The explosive speed brought by the shrinking method, a very talent-demanding technique, allows the user to easily catch up with the galloping carriage, and in the case of a foothold, the shrinking ground can even be moved in a three-dimensional way, and it is even regarded as a fairy art by some people.

Night Miyuki has mastered this martial art, this narrow alley is full of places to stay, and the girl has not stopped moving, her speed has long exceeded the range that ordinary people can capture, but she still feels that she is still not out of the enemy's sight.

“…… It's very strong! The martial arts of your world are indeed very unique. ”

Seeing snow at night, she suddenly heard this white-haired girl speak.

"It's just that with this speed, there is no way to escape the perception of sword control, so let you see it!"

After the other party finished speaking, Ye Mixue suddenly felt that the feeling of being locked in her body disappeared, and she found that the other party relaxed all her muscles in an instant, and the empty door of her whole body opened, as if she could be knocked down at once, she chose to attack without hesitation.

'This man... Just a uniform. ’

With this in mind, when Yami Snow attacked the white-haired girl, he used the back of a knife.

But the knife that swung at the other party only stopped halfway away, because the white-haired girl's sword was already halfway up her neck.

"The characteristic of sword control is that the counterattack is a late strike, I may not be as fast as you if I am faster than the speed of the body, but it is ...... than the speed of the explosion."

"You're so much faster than me......"

As he spoke, Yamiyuki put down the knife that had been raised above his head.

"It's no fun to fight you any longer."

"Huh? What did you say? ”

The white-haired girl was stunned for a moment, and then she noticed the heavily armed soldiers blocking the alleys at either end.

These are the Goths Guards who have just finished fighting the attackers, and they even have crossbowmen to support them, and if the white-haired girl is determined to break through, in fact, these people can't stop her, but realizing that she may have misunderstood something, she puts down her weapons very familiarly.

The attack calmed down the Bolognese, who had been carried away by the miracle, and Dio's annoyed approach reminded them of an incident that had happened here twenty years ago, and many people who had a heart linked the two events.

'Did you hear that?' Twenty years ago, the gangsters who openly burned down the Captain's Mansion and then attacked the Lord are back! ’

Of course I did! Chief Blue recognized the fellows when he examined the bodies, they were a bunch of religious fanatics. ’

'Even the lords, they dare to attack?' Those guys are too bold, aren't they? Do they think this is sectarian territory? ’

In a fit of rage, Lord Dio locked the gates and searched the churches of the city, beating up a few of the believers who stood in the way. ’

'Lord Dio is young and good-natured, but he is also of the Hearn family, and if the boss is still around, he will definitely have killed a lot of heads. ’

I heard my father say that there were more than three times as many branches in Bologna as there are now, because after that incident, he was about to go crazy, and the old man was angry with the other sects because he didn't find the attackers, and burned down a lot of monasteries! ’

'Terrible, isn't it?' I am also a believer...... You won't be angry, will you? ’

"Probably not, my little lord is a good man. ’

The people of the city talked freely about what had happened a few days ago, they did not have much fear, the successive miracles and natural and man-made disasters had taught the people of Bologna to fight with national calm, but there were many details that they did not know.

Theodoric had the intention of burning down two-thirds of the churches in Bologna after his father, but the monks of the churches sent to the lords before he could do so, explaining that these matters had nothing to do with them, and begging the young lords to spare them.

They pinched the young man's soft-heartedness, and the lord would be patient to reason with anyone even if he was provoked, but the two new guys he recruited were not good stubble, and the disfigured man was simply a robber, and he used all kinds of despicable blackmail methods to scrape off a layer of fat from all the church branches in the city except for the sects that believed in the Great Light.

And the guy who looks ordinary and even a little out of the climate is even more poisonous, he often leads his soldiers to suddenly break into the monastery to arrest people, but the reason for his arrest is difficult for people to jump out of the problem, every time he is arrested, he will always be released unscathed, no torture or interrogation, just casual talk, but he arrests people very frequently, can be called an expert in disturbing the people.

"Ningyi...... Have you found out anything from your investigation in the past few days? ”

In the lord's office, Dio asked with a gloomy face.

"We've dug up a lot of guys who are not right, and now we just need to keep an eye on these people."

Ning Yi's answer was very calm.

"I didn't expect to be taken advantage of this time...... But I don't think the people who gave orders through your mouth were in the same league as those madmen. ”

"Why do you think that?"

"If a group of people were really intended, their attacks would have been much more secretive and deadly."

Dior was silent for a moment, then asked about something else.

"How's that guy Morgan? The guy looked like a madman when he got lost......"

"After Dong Dong came back, his illness was immediately cured."

Ning Yi replied with a smile.

"But...... Ice Hunt's kid was beaten so badly that his armor was shattered like that, and his sword was shattered. And we still don't know who did it, this kid says he lost those memories, but I'm sure he's lying. ”

"By the way, the girl that Ice Hunt brought back is very strong in martial arts! Are the martial artists over there so high-quality? ”

"The two of them are a special case, and I don't know the girl, I don't even know where she came from."

Sometimes you have to honestly say that you don't know what you don't know, and you can't become a spy if you only know how to lie.

"That's right...... What are you going to do if you find the attacker? Revenge? ”

"That's inevitable, Bologna is located in a very important location, and it is a rich territory, and there are so many hungry wolves staring at our meat! At this time...... No matter what, you can't show weakness. ”

Dio replied through gritted teeth.

"Even if I don't get the attackers out in the end, I'll have to do something else to show my anger."

For example, burning churches, seizing caravans and travelers, in short, there needs to be enough blood to make the hungry wolves around them feel afraid......

'Ahhh~ What a poor little ghost, if in the world I live in, he should still be in junior high school now, right? Happily consuming youth every day, instead of bothering for a piece of territory. ’

As a modern person, Ning Yi is very sympathetic to Dior, but now ...... He had to add another thing to the already tired teenager.

"As for the young lady named Yamiyuki, I have inquired about her through the Orientals who work in the port area."

Yami Yuki has never shown her martial arts or command skills, but her unusual performance during the undead night attack and battle with the white-haired girl caught Dio's attention.

"What did you inquire about?"

"A merchant who came here to do business said that the surname Yomi seems to come from a well-known family that specialized in the grain business, and that the family was in a country that had previously had a very widespread civil war, and they had divided into two factions to fight each other, and there were many smaller forces among the two factions, and that it was not long after the end of that civil war that Yomiyuki came to Bologna."

"What do you think she's here for? Hiding from the hunt? ”

"Probably not, if she wants to avoid being pursued, she must at least change her name first, and then try to avoid disarming the fleet in the East, but the actual situation is ...... She is an investor in many trading fleets and a mediator with a good reputation. ”

Ning Yi replied without thinking.

"Her affairs can be put to rest, as long as she makes sure there are no malicious intentions anyway."

Dio asked again.

"What is the reaction of the people outside to us bringing Dongdong to the Lord's Mansion for protection?"

"The vast majority of people agreed, because the attack made them realize that they were not capable of protecting the Great Light, and they felt that the protection of the Lord's Palace was more reliable, and that the Order with spring water and dong at the heart of worship would have a cooling-down period, and Bologna would be at peace for a while."

"Long-lost peace!"

Dio smiled wryly.

"It's also a brief period of peace."

Ning Yi added.
