Chapter 113: Rumors
The new day passed in fear and panic, and the atmosphere of celebration was completely lost. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info For several days, the people of the Northern Regions lived in a panic.
For the earthquake that lasted only a few moments in the early morning of the New Year, in a few days, there were many strange rumors in the northern regions. To Ian's surprise, the two most widely circulated rumors were both directed at the criminals.
One is the wrath of the Most High Lord. Some nonsense believe that this year is the year of the Northern Regions to bathe in the grace of God, and that the sinners have blasphemed the gods in those years, so it is precisely because of the presence of the sinners that this earthquake has been provoked, which is a warning from the Supreme Lord to the world, asking the Northern Regions to expel the descendants of these blasphemers before the day of God's coming, so as not to attract the Lord's displeasure and wrath.
The second is the conspiracy of the Black Balance Society. The citizens of the empire have never hesitated to speculate on this organization with the greatest malice. This part of the population believes that the earthquake actually originated from the experiment of the Black Balance Society. They didn't want the power of the Church to enter the North, so they created such an earthquake in the hope of changing the Church's decision. And it is well known that the Black Scales Society tends to hide among the sinners, so they also point the finger at the sinners.
All of a sudden, the already unharmonious relationship between the citizens of the empire and the guilty became precarious. In the past ten days in a row, just in the academy, there have been many conflicts between the originally unrelated criminal students and ordinary students. And the location of the border of the sin area is even more chaotic.
Thanks to him, Ian's workload at night suddenly increased several times, and since he spent most of his time defending the side of the sinners, in less than a month, rumors spread in the northern regions that the night watchmen were actually sinners.
However, in a sense, this rumor is not false. Even if Ian does have half the blood of the Empire, but in his true appearance, I am afraid that no one will think that he is not a sinner.
......
"Fei'er, what's wrong?"
Early in the morning, Ian, who was sitting in the classroom, asked with concern to Fei'er, who looked different.
"Recently, a nasty guy came to the house. Phil replied softly in her usual hoarse voice.
"Nasty guy?" Alvin suddenly came up from behind, with a strange look on his face: "It would be quite remarkable to be able to make His Royal Highness Fei'er say the word 'hate'." Please let me know so that I can pay homage to him. ”
Since the natural disaster, Alvin, who thinks that he has already had some impression in front of Phil, has now begun to learn to tease Phil without knowing whether he is alive or dead, which makes Ian's eyebrows twitch for a while.
In response, Phil glanced at him expressionlessly and said, "Viscount Zangwill Joyce, an envoy from the imperial capital of Arig. ”
"Imperial Capital Arig?" Ian frowned and asked, "What does the Imperial Capital mean by sending an envoy over at this time?"
"They're here to find the Black Sword Master, right?" Alvin smiled and said his conjecture, "A supreme man who doesn't know his specific identity is an extremely unstable factor for the empire in any case. And the upper echelons of the Northern Regions don't know what the reason is, they are passive and slack off in finding the true body of the Sword Saint, and there is no news for a long time. In this way, they probably couldn't wait and decided to find it themselves. Am I right, Your Highness Phil?"
"Well, that's about it. Fei'er nodded, and said lightly: "That guy hates the sinners very much, and neither I nor my father like him. But he was an envoy on behalf of the royal family, so my father asked me not to be rude to him. ”
"It seems that His Excellency the Grand Duke of Lanceveen has not been having a good time lately. ”
Hearing Alwyn tease, Ian pursed his lips. He actually didn't mind if Khan Parkes was sad or not, but he didn't expect Fei'er to care so much about the other party, and he actually heard a hint of complaint in the indifferent tone of this black-haired girl. You know, it is said that when she faced all kinds of difficulties made to her by the nobles, this girl did not even frown.
It can be seen how much Phil "dislikes" this Viscount Zangwill Joyce. If it weren't for Khan Parkes's admonition, I guess this messenger would have been cut by her a long time ago......
"Did he do anything again?" Ian asked, touching his chin. He knew that if the other party just didn't like the sinners, then he would never make Fei'er angry to this extent.
"He wants to expel the sinners. The girl's tone suddenly turned a little colder.
"He's got a good idea, right?" Alvin's eyes widened, his face in disbelief, "How could he come up with such a ridiculous idea, if this is really implemented, there will be chaos in the Northern Regions, even if he is an envoy of the royal family, the upper echelons of the Northern Regions will not agree, right?"
Ian was already dumbfounded, he was also unbelievable, someone would be stupid enough to have such an idea, the number of sinners in the Northern Regions accounted for a full fifth of the population of the Northern Regions, and expelling such a large number of people, not to mention the Northern Regions, I am afraid that the real empire would have to be chaotic for a while.
"No, it wasn't that guy who came up with this idea in the first place, but the big families in the upper echelons of the Northern Regions. Fei'er shook her head and explained: "Originally, my father suppressed their proposal, but the arrival of that guy gave these families the opportunity to jointly put pressure on my father. The existence of that guy made Dad very passive. ”
"But why did the upper echelons of the Northern Regions come up with such an idea to dig their own graves?" Ian muttered to himself, then exhaled softly as if he had thought of something, "Is it because of the earthquake and the rumors?"
"Hmm. Fei'er nodded, "In order to welcome that cardinal archbishop, the entire Northern Regions has become abnormal. The families themselves did not have a good opinion of the criminals, let alone the rumors that suddenly popped up like this. They would rather choose to mess around for a while before this year's Advent Day to wipe out all the hidden dangers. ”
"And your father, he agreed?" asked Ian.
"Not yet. Fei'er shook her head, and then said in a rare tone of hatred: "But because of me, that damn guy actually suspected that Dad was going to have an affair with Hei Tianping. ”
It dawned on Ian. No wonder Fei'er was so resentful of the so-called messenger, it turned out that the problem was here!
Although he didn't want to admit it, Ian knew that Phil had extraordinary respect and love for his adoptive father, and now, someone had framed Khan Parkes because of her identity, which naturally made the girl extremely unhappy.
"What is this, the eventful 'spring'?"
Ian let out a long sigh and looked out the window at the gloomy sky, full of the feeling that the mountain rain was coming.
