Chapter 68: The Present State of the City

Boredo Rowland immersed himself in his work. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the faded desk, there were piles of various materials and briefings in Shicheng, which he needed to confirm and deal with one by one.

After Boredo finished his work, he raised his head a little tiredly and rubbed his eyebrows vigorously.

Except for the weight of the work, the things he has to do are no different from the previous ones.

The Feared Mighty, Crecroe Titor Beaga, the original owner of the Stone City, had not been in charge of the miscellaneous affairs of the city since the day he ascended to the throne of the city.

Beaga blamed all the things on these civil officials, and he was living recklessly and recklessly.

The management policy adopted by that person is to suppress everything with the power of power, and the end of resistance is death, he is only the ruler, not the leader.

Boredo sighed softly.

This is the law of Bellabette, the only truth in this anarchic and chaotic region, and whoever has the most power is the master.

The survival of the fittest, Boredo, who grew up in Belabet, knows this.

Boredo took a gentle sip of his cooled coffee.

The current situation in Stone City is the same as before, or rather, worse than before.

Boredo decided to take a break from work and take a break.

He looked apologetically at his colleague, who was buried at his desk, and stood in front of the window with a ceramic mug.

On the third floor of the castle, located in the heart of the stone city, you can clearly see the city streets.

"It's terrible......"

In order to relieve the tension in his heart, Boredo drank all the coffee in his cup in one go.

Fleshless white bones, holding swords and shields belonging to the city guards, slowly marched through the streets.

The corpses of the deceased, whose flesh was like a jigsaw puzzle, with stiff steps, constantly patrolled the streets of the city, frightening ordinary citizens from going out.

In front of the gates of this castle, two bloody bone wyverns lurked, intimidating all those who wanted to resist.

This is the new master of the city-state, Lin Yuan's undead army.

"Can it get any worse......

Boredo once said this to his brother when Beaga took over the city.

Then, at last, he understood what a worse situation was.

Boredo subconsciously brought the cup to his lips, only to find that he had drunk all the coffee in it in the morning.

"Really...... What will become of our fate?"

The alternation of power in the city-states of Bellabet is not surprising.

Like Pang Heng, people who can stand at the top for a long time are very rare in this place.

It can be said that every city-state, every day, every minute, every second, is carrying out all kinds of intrigues, and the subordinates are trying to pull the rulers above from the throne of power and ascend to the top themselves.

Boruido, who has traveled to various city-states, knows this very well.

Boredo's father was originally a high-ranking magic general in a certain city-state, but one day, after they were overthrown by a more powerful force, they could only escape under the cover of their father.

Boredo and his younger brother were able to survive purely out of pure luck, if it weren't for their own literacy, if it weren't for their brother's magical powers, their fates might be completely different.

“...... Big brother?"

Boredo, who was indulging in memories of the past, was interrupted by a familiar voice.

Boredo quickly turned around and saw his younger brother coming to his side at some point.

Kenta Roland, Boredo's proud younger brother.

Wearing a long knife-shaped magic guide at his waist, Kenta Roland straightened his waist with a serious expression.

Boredo knew that it was just his brother's usual movements and expressions, and it didn't mean that he was upset.

"It's Kenta, looking for me at this time, is there anything going on?"

There are now only five magisters in the city, including Kenta, and they must guard the core of the enchantment and the magic circle at all times in case something unexpected happens.

Due to the severe shortage of manpower, the five magisters could only take turns to change shifts, and there was no moment to relax.

Kenta came at this time, and Boredo knew he had something important to tell him.

"Big brother, may I ask Lord Lin Yuan...... Is he coming?"

Boredo shook his head.

"No, I haven't seen an adult for a day, and if there's anything urgent, let's go find Miss Heras first. ”

Kenta's expression was a little darker.

"Kenta, are you looking for Lord Lin Yuan, is there something wrong?"

Boredo gently lowered the mug in his hand.

“...... Now there are only five people in the city, and it is difficult to support them, and in the past few days alone, they are very tired and ......"

Kenta looked out the window, at the dead who were making him uncomfortable.

"We can't let these monsters stay in the city anymore, we need more mages, I want to talk to Lord Lin Yuan, let those who were once imprisoned start their duties again. ”

"Kenta," Boredo looked his brother in the eye earnestly, "you know who we are now, and if you really want to speak, choose your words carefully." ”

“...... I understand. ”

Kenta unconsciously looked into his hands.

The arms that were broken by the punch of the city lord of Tree City, under Lin Yuan's treatment, did not leave any sequelae, and they were no different from usual.

Kenta stared deeply into his hands as if he wanted to see through his skin.

Now, all the managers of this city have become Lin Yuan's servants.

All of them made an oath with Lin Yuan.

Kenta still remembers the terrifying shudder that crept up as those eerie words crept up on him.

Even after living under the fearful powers for a long time, he had never felt this way.

"You've survived with a lot of difficulty, stop acting recklessly. ”

Hearing his brother's earnest words, Kenta nodded expressionlessly.

"It's good you didn't attend that ridiculous banquet, or you would still be in prison right now. ”

Kenta didn't feel glad, he just didn't want to violate his conscience and do things that were worse than pigs and dogs.

In order to win over and appease the Magisters of Iwajo, Beaga gave them a lot of freedom, and used various things to lure them into depravity.

Kenta was already familiar with Beataga's usual methods, so he naturally knew how to avoid such a situation.

It's a pity that there are only four other people who are as sober as him.

But it was precisely because they still had a conscience that they were spared imprisonment.

That day, Lin Yuan stood in front of these prisoners and asked a few simple questions.

"Are you traitors?"

"Do you feel happy bullying people who have no power to resist?"

"Will you surrender to me?"

Of the more than fifty magisters, only five were able to get out of that prison.

And now, they are doing their best for the city.

"That man...... It is possible to see through other people's lies. Kenta suddenly said thoughtlessly.

“...... yes, so, you have to pay more attention. Boredo nodded heavily.

Boredo didn't want to lose any more loved ones.

Although he knew Kenta's personality, if he made a mistake, he would be like those magic masters in prison, Lin Yuan used strange magic every day to drain all the magic power in his body, and spent a long day in pain.

"By the way, Kenta, can you take that off behind your neck?"

Boredo remembered that Beaga had forcibly ordered all the magisters to implant the strange magic props, and he was worried that his brother would have any sequelae.

"Don't worry, this thing has turned into scrap metal, and there is nothing inconvenient except for some discomfort. ”

Kenta reached out and stroked the iron piece on the back of his neck, the magic pattern carved on it had been destroyed.

The strange magic item that Beaga called the "Unenlightened" was a special magic item that was specially created for the suffering powerhouse Thor Randolph.

After implanting the unconscious, the Magister can temporarily feel no pain as long as it enters the magic power, and it is a magic item whose maker is unknown.

Kenta suspected that the function of the unconscious was not only to suppress pain, although the implant itself could not feel it, but the object pierced deep into their spine, controlling some of their nerves, and most likely had other functions.

Moreover, Kenta is also worried about the purpose of the maker behind this magic item.

The implantation of the unconscious is very quick, they only need to sit still, and then a small, lightweight, arc-shaped improvised device touches the back of their neck, and after ten seconds, the iron piece is installed on their body, and the implantation is completed.

There wasn't even a trace of pain in this process, and one had to wonder why such a new type of magic prop had ended up in their remote area.

"Speaking of which, big brother, is there a lot of money missing in Beaga's treasury?"

"At least eighty percent less, I, who have been secretly calculating the total income of the city, can be asserted. ”

Kenta remembered Beaga's newest steel golem, which must have cost a lot of money.

"Beaga...... Behind him, there is someone behind him......"

"Yes...... But we don't know who it is, and that's really worrying. Boredo smiled wryly.

Beaga has been secretly in contact with the outside world lately, and even his henchmen don't know who the other party is.

"But it's useless for us to worry about this, let's solve the problem in front of us first. ”

Boredo remembered the city's problems and felt a little headache.

The city guards are understaffed, the crime is difficult to stop, and after the lack of a magister accidentally leaks out, the citizens become more and more uneasy, and their emotions are about to reach their peak, and what will happen after that can be easily predicted.

"Big brother, you have to be careful about your body, sister-in-law, she just gave birth to a child, and she still needs you as a father. ”

When Boredo heard what his brother said, he couldn't help but laugh.

"You're embarrassed to say that you're in your thirties, it's time to find a wife and have children, and at this time, it should be easy to find the right partner. ”

Kenta nodded silently, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

"Anyway, I'll go find Miss Heras first, and I hope I can meet Master Lin Yuan later. ”

"I'll go with you. ”

Kenta shook his head and stopped Boredo.

"Big brother, you have enough work, don't worry about this, I'll ...... Opportunistic. ”

"Hearing you say that only makes me worry more......"

Kenta bowed his head slightly apologetically.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful. ”

With that, he walked briskly away from the busy management department.

Boredo smiled wryly as he watched his brother's departure and returned to his chair.

"Alas...... Will you, O king of the elves, bless us?"
