Chapter 227: Give an Explanation!
"Lilia!"
Aking suddenly, Rocky noticed that he was lying on a large bed, and when he looked to the left and right, he found himself in a hospital room.
He obviously didn't figure out the situation when he just woke up, and after being stunned for a moment, he wanted to sit up from the hospital bed, but as soon as he exerted his strength, he felt labor pains in his chest and back, and he couldn't get up at all.
"Don't move, your injuries aren't healed yet. ”
At this moment, Lilia's voice came, and Rocky hurriedly followed the voice, and then saw Lilia sitting on the side waiting for him.
And only then did he notice that it was not only Lilia waiting in the hospital room, but also Monte, Erin and others.
"What happened to me after I fainted?"
Finding that everyone else was gone, and that they were all right, Rocky let out a sigh of relief, then looked at Lilia and asked.
At this time, he had completely come to his senses, but he had no idea what this place was, because Rocky's memory only ended until the carriage overturned, and then several assassins appeared to assassinate him, and he stopped here, and he didn't know anything about the rest of it.
"This is the hospital of the Sleepless God City......"
Seeing that Rocky had not yet figured out the situation, Lilia told him what had happened after he fainted.
The current time is four days after Rocky's assassination, which means that Rocky has been in a coma for four whole days!
In the assassination four days ago, when Rocky fainted due to serious injuries, Lilia, who was also seriously injured, did not stop the assassins, and Lilia, who was equally seriously injured, tried her best to kill two of the five assassins, but the other three rushed directly to Rocky and slashed him several times!
It stands to reason that Rocky's fate should have been certain death, he himself had passed out at the time, and the seriously injured Lilia could not kill all the Assassins, and even if only one Assassin was alive, it would be enough to kill Rocky.
But at this critical moment, the guards of the Nightless God City arrived!
In the City of the Nightless God, even the most ordinary guards were equipped with fifth-generation production armor, so when the guards arrived, they killed the remaining three assassins in an instant, and the scene at that time must definitely be described as a thousand shots, and Rocky and Lilia were saved as a result.
After this, the two of them were immediately taken to the hospital, and when the guards investigated Rocky's identity and learned that he was a city lord, they transferred him and Lilia directly to the best and largest hospital in the city of the Nightless God, which was only open to nobles.
At the same time, Erin and Monte, who were acting separately, soon learned the news, and the two went to the hospital on the one hand, and notified Thunderhawk City on the other, followed by Orton.
"I see......"
Listening to Lilia tell her what happened after she fell unconscious, Rocky on the hospital bed nodded, and then asked, "Did the murderer catch him?"
Although it happened very suddenly, Rocky is not stupid, not only does he know that he has suffered an assassination, he has even thought of the person who directed the assassination, Carlo! No one else wants to kill Rocky except him!
"No ......"
It's a pity that after he said this, Lilia shook her head helplessly: "After Master Orton came, he immediately contacted the Sleepless God City, and the Nightless God City did not shirk this matter, and launched an investigation on the same day, but did not find any useful clues. ”
What Lilia said is true, Rocky's assassination is a matter that Nightless God City attaches great importance to, and after learning of Rocky's identity as the city lord, it immediately launched an investigation, which can be said to have not been delayed for even a minute.
As a neutral city and a commercial city, countless dignitaries gather in the Sleepless Divine City every day, and the city lords who live here reach hundreds of people, so how to ensure the safety of these city lords has always been one of the most important issues in the Sleepless Divine City.
The sky is beautiful, but it is not peaceful, and the contradictions, frictions, and wars between the sky cities are always continuous, which makes it very common for the city lords to have grievances between them, so if a certain city lord's neighbor in the sky star is his mortal enemy, then don't be surprised, this kind of thing is normal.
In this way, the Sleepless Divine City attaches great importance to the safety of the city lord, after all, as a trading city, every city lord is a big customer for the Sleepless Divine City, if the city lord is not allowed to trade and consume safely here, wouldn't the Sleepless Divine City lose money?
Therefore, the Nightless Divine City has strict rules in this regard, anyone is forbidden to fight privately in the Divine City, once violated, even the city lord and the city will be expelled from the airspace of the Divine City immediately, and it will be forbidden to enter the Divine City for a period of time!
And under such strict regulations, the various city lords in the Nightless God City are also relatively well-behaved, and those who have grievances against each other will not meet, and even if they do, there will be some small friction at most, in short, they are all within the control range.
But Nightless God City never expected that under such strict regulations, there would be people who would dare to assassinate the city lord?
In the eyes of Nightless Divine City, this matter is not only a slap in the face, but once it spreads, it will also have a negative impact on the reputation of Divine City, after all, even if Rocky is only the city lord of a small sky city, no matter how small the city lord is, he is also a city lord, and he can also have influence!
Therefore, after this incident, Nightless God City immediately launched an investigation, but unfortunately, no results were found.
Of the five Assassins who assassinated Rocky, Lilia killed two and the guards killed three, leaving no one alive.
There was no one in the three carriages that caused the accident, and the three coachmen who drove the carriage were found that night, but they had already turned into three corpses, and judging by the time of death, the three were killed after the accident.
At this point, all participants in the assassination were killed, and the clue was interrupted.
In this investigation, Nightless God City naturally also found out Carlo's head, the destruction of the Mustang Air Pirates was on the weekly report provided by the Shadow Alliance, and it was easy to find out, and at the same time, Carlo's confrontation with Rocky in the Sky Star the day before the assassination could not be hidden, so everyone knew that Carlo was the mastermind of this assassination.
But what if you know?
Is there any evidence?
In the absence of evidence, even the Nightless God City has no way to take Carlo, Rocky is the city lord, Carlo is also the city lord, and he is still the city lord of a medium-sized Sky City, there is no conclusive evidence, and the Nightless God City is not good for a medium-sized Sky City city lord to act aggressively.
What's more, the night before the assassination, that is, after the Sky Star and Rocky met, Carlo took the people away, and the people went straight back to Bronco City, completely dissociating themselves from the incident.
This kind of investigation was concluded the day after the assassination, and the result of the investigation was inconclusive......
"Hey......"
After hearing these words, Rocky, who was lying on the hospital bed, sighed, obviously a little helpless.
I have to admit that Carlo is too cunning.
Now it seems that the reason why he confronted Rocky in the first place, and put on a look like he was going to do it on the spot, was actually a trick, all to let Rocky pay attention to him, but his real killing move was the assassin's hand, and his hand was really beautiful!
But some people may wonder that the balance of power between Rocky and Carlo is Carlo's strength in every way, so is it necessary for him to take such a big risk to assassinate Rocky?
At least Rocky thinks there's a reason why Carlo wants to assassinate him, and that reason is time!
He couldn't afford to wait.
Is this the case?
Really!
As we all know, Carlo has teamed up with Lessington, which is naturally bad news for Rocky, but it is not necessarily a good thing for Carlo, because he can't afford to offend a big man like Lessington, so since Carlo promised Lessington that he would kill Rocky, he must do it, otherwise trouble will fall on him.
The problem is that Rocky is now hiding in the airspace of the Sleepless God City, in the airspace of the Nightless God City, let alone Carlo, even if Lighting comes in person, he will not dare to make a move, and no one in this world can provoke the God City.
This means that if Carlo wants to kill Rocky as Lessington tells him, he must wait for Rocky to leave the airspace of the City of Sleepless God by himself, and only then can he do it.
While others may not know how long Rocky can stay in the Nightless God City, Carlo does, because he knows very well how many belongings the Mustang Air Pirates have, and according to his judgment, he thinks that Rocky can hide in the Nightless God City for at least three months to half a year.
This time is simply too long for him.
If you want to kill Rocky, you have to wait for him to come out of the airspace of the Nightless God City, which means that how long Rocky hides here, how much time Carlo has to stay outside, Rocky stays for a month, he has to guard for a month, Rocky stays for half a year, he has to wait for half a year!
But don't forget that Carlo is also the lord of the city, and he also has a whole sky city to feed! And unlike Thunder Eagle City, Carlo's Sky City is a medium-sized sky city, and the number of residents in the city has reached 15,000, which is 15,000 mouths!
In this case, where is he willing to spend so much time with Rocky, the scale of a medium-sized Sky City is not comparable to a small Sky City, as the city lord, Carlo has too many things to consider, he simply doesn't have time to drag on Rocky for months or even half a year.
So in order to settle the matter as soon as possible, he thought of assassination.
As long as Rocky himself can be killed, won't this matter be settled once and for all? Although Carlo can also see that the grudge between Rocky and Lessington is very unusual, in his opinion, what does the grudge between the two have to do with himself? What he promised Richington at the beginning was to destroy Thunderhawk City, and as long as Rocky dies, won't Thunderhawk City be destroyed?
So he arranged this assassination, and it must be admitted that it was very beautiful, almost, really just a little, and Rocky died.
But even if the assassination attempt ultimately failed, Carlo had nothing to lose.
The killers he sent were all bandits who survived the Mustang Air Pirates, and if they died, they died, and it was better to die, so as not to leave them alive, and at the same time, Carlo himself had left the City of the Sleepless God City long before the assassination began, completely drawing a line with this matter, so that he did not have to pay any price for the assassination whether it was successful or not.
Rocky, who is also the city lord, quickly figured out these things, so when Lilia told the results of the investigation in the Sleepless God City, he sighed, there was no way, this time he could only admit it.
But at this moment, Lilia spoke: "You don't have to worry, this matter won't end like this. ”
"Huh?"
Hearing Lilia say this, Rocky was stunned, wouldn't it end like this?
What does she mean by that?
According to what Lilia just said, Sleepless God City actually tried its best in this matter, not only did it start an investigation as soon as possible, but also quickly investigated the results, but unfortunately Carlo drew his relationship with the assassination too clearly, so that Nightless God City couldn't do anything about him.
In this way, the outcome of this matter will definitely be over, is there any turning point?
Thinking of this, Rocky suddenly asked, "Lilia, where is the teacher?"
He suddenly noticed one thing, and that was that he hadn't seen Orton since he woke up!
Lilia said just now that since Rocky and her were all seriously injured, Orton came forward to preside over the overall situation of Thunderhawk City, and rushed to the Sleepless God City as soon as possible, but what about Orton?
Could it be ...... The turning point in Lilia's mouth has something to do with Orton?
That's true!
Nightless God City wanted to do this kind of technology, but Orton didn't do it.
Lilia then said, "Master Orton has gone to meet the councillors of the Sleepless God City. ”
"Huh?"
As soon as he heard this, Rocky's eyes widened!
As a Divine City, the Sleepless Divine City is also a neutral city, and there is no city lord, and the supreme ruling body of this Divine City is the Divine City Council.
The council has a total of eleven members, including ten members and one speaker, ten members are elected by the residents of the city for a term of ten years, and the speaker is elected by ten members for a one-year term.
This is the reason why Rocky was surprised, because the councilor of the Nightless God City has a much higher status than the average city lord, and Orton actually went to see the councilor?
Indeed, Orton did go to see the councillors!
After learning that Rocky was assassinated, Orton naturally immediately put down his research and rushed to the Sleepless God City as soon as possible, he didn't do anything at the beginning, after all, the Nightless God City also attached great importance to this matter and was also investigating.
But with the end of the investigation, when Nightless God City planned to let this matter go away, Orton quit!
On the day the investigation results came out, he made trouble in the administrative hall of the Sleepless God City, and when he saw someone, he sprayed at the administrator of the Sleepless God City for more than an hour, and he still refused to give up, no matter what, he had to let the Nightless God City give Rocky an explanation, otherwise this matter would not be over!
