Lion Peak City, the capital of the Black Rock Kingdom, was originally a strong fortress built on a steep mountain, and as the Black Rock Kingdom grew, the castle gradually expanded until it covered the entire Lion Peak Mountain.

Even though it has changed from a pure war fortress to the current capital of the Black Rock Kingdom, the walls of Lion's Peak City are still the first task of military defense, and the rule that civilians and traders are not allowed to enter has always been enforced.

In addition to the royal family and nobles, the only people who can enter the castle are the military-related personnel.

As for the commoners and traders, they were only allowed to live and shop in the settlements at the foot of the mountain. Over time, a large unwalled civilian area formed around Lionpeak City.

The absence of walls greatly facilitates commercial activities and makes Lion Peak City a well-known and prosperous place.

But behind the glossy surface, there are also many shady areas.

In a deep alley, a door suddenly opened.

Finor, who was carrying a large bag on his back, stretched out his head to look at it, and after making sure that there was no danger, he came out of the door and into the alley, and ran quickly across the muddy ground with sewage, one foot deep and one shallow, with the new leather boots he had just purchased.

The place where Feno appeared was not far from Lion's Peak City, but he hadn't been here for a long time, and the planning of the civilian area was no planning, and the Black Rock royal family's management of the outer city was simple and crude - if the money was paid, you could play whatever you wanted, as long as you didn't kill people and set fires, everything was OK!

However, in addition to receiving a lot of money, this kind of management measure has not been prohibited from killing people and setting fires, and it has made the buildings in civilian areas more and more disorganized.

The law and order in the civilian area turned into chaos, but no one dared to mess too much near the city wall, and after successfully knocking out a thief and tying him to the horse post, Fino finally found the gate of the city wall of Lion Peak City.

Touching the silver coin in his arms, Fino strode to the city gate.

"What people!? In front of you is Lion's Peak City, and civilians stop! ”

Before Fino could answer, two silver coins were given to the guard, and the face of the silver coin guard was much better.

"My name is Feno, and I'm the messenger of the Blood Ciep Fortress, and I have something to see Master Purley."

"Master Pooly?" The guard looked at the person in front of him in surprise who was dressed in cheap clothes and didn't show any aristocratic temperament, and his look became more and more suspicious, "Do you have anything to prove your identity?" ”

Lord Puli is the former commander of the Blood Castle Legion, and now he is also a pivotal figure in Lionpeak City, a nobleman of that level is not something that anyone can see, if this guy is a liar and he lets him in, then he will be in big trouble!

But Fino took out a pass, and the issuer was Duke Purley.

The guard's face changed, and he glanced at Fino hesitantly, then called another guard on duty, studied the pass together, and returned it to Fino after confirming that it was correct.

"It's true that Master Pulley issued a pass, so please come with me. You can't trespass in Lion's Peak City, you have to follow me, and if you try to go somewhere you shouldn't, I'll kill you immediately!" Do you understand? ”

Fei Nuo put the pass away, nodded and said, "I understand, please lead the way quickly, my affairs are very anxious." ”

"Come with me, first check if you are armed or not, this is a must, no one can enter Lionpeak City without permission."

"It's a nuisance."

Even though it wasn't the first time he had entered Lionpinter, Ferno still complained about the cumbersome rules, especially in such an emergency.

Finally, after the two guards had checked his whole body and left the short knife for self-defense, Fino could finally enter Lion's Peak City.

Entering the city, the guards brought Fino to the duty room, opened the door and made a gesture of please.

"Let's register first, fill in your name, identity, and visitors."

Feino's brow furrowed: "Registration? So troublesome? How do I remember that there was no such registration before? ”

The guard shrugged: "This is only recently started. ”

Fei Nuo sighed helplessly: "It's really troublesome. ”

As he spoke, Feno walked into the room, and as he passed the guard, a glittering dagger suddenly grazed his neck.

Fino clutched his bleeding throat in pain, and turned to stare incredibly at the smirking guard.

He was tempted to ask how the guard knew his mission and ambushed here, but he couldn't say anything.

………………………………

Located in the Duke's Mansion on an independent peak of Shifeng Mountain, Duke Puli was silently looking into the distance on the balcony, not knowing what he was thinking.

The servant led a man behind Duke Prie, the guard who had just killed Fino.

"Master Puley, what you have commanded has been done."

Duke Puli asked without looking back, "Didn't anyone find out?" ”

"No, I've done it very covertly, and the traces have already been processed."

Duke Puli nodded: "Very good, let's work hard today, go and dispose of all the people who may have seen Fino along the way, remember, it must be all accidents." ”

"Yes, sir."

After saluting Duke Pooly, the guard turned and left.

After the guards left, Duke Pulley unfolded the letter in his hand, which he had read several times, and the smile on his face grew stronger and stronger as he looked at the contents.

"I really didn't expect that Bai Gang to appear in the Blood Fortress at this time, even if I dreamed of such a wonderful situation!

Now, the last of the Bloodkeep Fortresses has been cut off, and the truth will never be known until everything is a foregone conclusion. ”

At this moment, a male voice suddenly came from the dark shadow behind Duke Puley.

"So it seems that the gods still favor us Black Rock!

Although the appearance of White Steel deviated a little from our original plan, with him in front of us to attract attention, our plan could have gone more smoothly, and there really is no better situation. ”

Duke Puli nodded, "This is indeed a very good situation, but it can be better." We should take this opportunity to turn that white steel into a corpse once and for all! A chaotic north favors our plans. ”

"But Gloria's forces should arrive in a few days, and it will soon become clear that White Steel is not an intruder."

Duke Pulley sneered, "That's why we have to hurry up and kill the white steel before then!" The truth doesn't resurrect people! ”
