Chapter 114: Compromise
Late at night, Ian casually delivered today's "goods" in front of the back door of the guard barracks. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Since learning of the arrival of the envoy of the imperial capital, the number of "mysterious people" who have been secretly patrolling at night has gradually increased, and he has already noticed several in just a few hours. And in order to avoid them, Ian had to take many detours during the evening practice.
Ian knew that this group of "mysterious people" was here for the Black Sword Master.
The Black Sword Saint is known to be nocturnal and often wanders the purgatory wasteland outside the circle. Therefore, while he is called the Sword Master, he also has the title of the Night Watchman. When Ian started the "Justice Messenger Game", the reason why he got the nickname of the Night's Watch is that some people associate it with the real Black Sword Saint.
Therefore, during this period of time, I am afraid that not only in the Northern Regions City, but also in the suburbs outside the circle should have been covered with the eyeliner of visitors from the imperial capital. They pinned their hopes on using this method to find the clues of the fourth strongest person in the world.
It's just that although their blind actions caused some trouble to Ian, it also made him confirm some conditions.
For some reason, he knew his identity, and at the same time, he also indirectly made the "night watchman", and he didn't seem to reveal his information to the guests from the imperial capital.
This made Ian feel a little happy at the same time, but he was a little puzzled.
After some thought, the only thing he was sure of was that Khan Parks himself wanted to find the Black Sword Saint through himself, but he didn't want the people of the Imperial Capital to find the Lord. The only conclusion that can be drawn from this inference is that the people of Khan Pax and the people of the imperial capital do not seem to be of the same mind, and even faintly guard against each other.
Of course, this is just Ian's malicious conjecture. If understood from the perspective of good intentions, the Grand Duke's behavior can be interpreted as protecting Ian as much as possible from the detection of the Empire. It's just that in a subjective sense of disgust towards someone, Ian himself has no intention of thinking in this direction at all......
Dodging a group of spies from the imperial capital once again, Ian circled around and walked on his way home. Suddenly, he stopped as if he had discovered something, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Fei'er, I'm curious to know, why do you always find me?"
As his words fell, a figure that was also wearing a black trench coat, but looked even thinner and thinner, slowly emerged from the shadows in front of him. The girl's slightly hoarse voice rang out from the silence of the night.
"As long as it's night, I can go anywhere I've been and find whoever I want. ”
"Is this one of your mental images?" Ian couldn't help but wonder, if it weren't for the condition of a prefix, it would almost be the equivalent of teleportation.
"So to speak. With a casual reply, Fei'er slowly walked in front of Ian and said, "Ian, in the last few days, I am going to go outside the circle, and you have to help me and the academy ask for leave, and hide it from my father." ”
"How is this possible?"
"I told my father that I was going to apply for a college to live on campus until that nasty guy left the Northern Regions, and he agreed. And I can come back every night for a while, as long as you help me hide it for a while, it shouldn't be a big problem. ”
"Wait. Ian only felt his head grow for a while, and he hurriedly stopped: "How could the Grand Duke of Lancevein agree, he doesn't know how chaotic the downtown is now?
"Dad said that for now, the upper city is more dangerous than the lower city. Phil explained.
"Huh?"
"As for how to hide it from my father...... Fei'er seemed to be silent for a moment, and then said irresponsibly, "That's your business." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll do my best. Ian nodded helplessly, and then asked curiously, "But Fei'er, why do you suddenly want to go outside the circle?"
"There is already a resolution on the bill for the expulsion of criminals. ”
"The Grand Duke agreed?" Ian exhaled softly. It's been less than three days, could it be that the pressure on that envoy and several major families is really so great?
"No, exactly, both sides made compromises. Fei'er shook her head and explained, "Among the six major families, five families led by the Bell family have united and pushed that nasty guy to the front of the stage and demanded the execution of the deportation order. But the father and the Marquis of Griffin disagreed, and both sides finally gave in to each side. ”
Because the rumor was caused by the unnatural earthquake, they asked my father to organize a team to find out the cause of the earthquake within a month. ”
"If the mission can find out the exact cause of the earthquake and make it public, then they will waive the eviction order. However, if the investigation team is unable to find a specific cause, then the criminals must be expelled from the Northern Regions and placed in Rusbel, where the Northern and Southern Regions meet, and will not be allowed to return to their homes until the end of Advent. ”
"All criminals who choose to remain in the city after the expulsion order has been issued will be considered a member of the Black Balance Society and will be executed if discovered. They had to make sure that nothing could happen in the North during the time God greeted the cardinal archbishop of the High Church on the day of God's advent. ”
"It's just ridiculous. Ian couldn't help but be stunned. He knew that the Most High Church had unparalleled influence in this world. But it's not just because of the Most High Church. The original intention of the nobles, who were themselves disgusted with sinners, was probably to use the name of the High Church to carry out a purge of sinners who had long been disagreeable.
This part of the population did not intend to follow the policy of the empire and accept the guilty people from the beginning. In a sense, they wish that the criminals would revolt and force the Empire to respond so that they could justifiably wipe out the "rebels".
Gale used his mental image to find five epicenters. Three of them are underground in the Northern Regions City, and two are in the Purgatory Wasteland outside the circle. Previously, my father had arranged for people to isolate the three epicenters in the city and dig down to investigate. As for the two outside the circle, my father planned to have most of the people in the investigation team explore the area. ”
"So you want to come along?"
"Well," Phil admitted, "because of Count Bell's obstruction, there are no high-ranking people in the investigation team that goes outside the circle, so I must protect them in the shadows." ”
"Let me go. Ian suggested.
"No, I can't. Fei'er refused, and said meaningfully: "There is an epicenter that is far away, and that area may encounter a great demon. Don't forget what kind of physical condition you are in right now. ”
"But you ......"
Ian was about to say that her body wasn't necessarily much better than her own, but as soon as he spoke, Phil interrupted him as if she knew what he was thinking.
"My own situation, I know it myself. Of course, if you can solve the hidden dangers in yourself, then it is okay for me to take you there. ”
