Although the walls of Wangshan Fortress are in the shape of a multi-pointed star inward, the internal roads and buildings are still orderly, and the space between the star-shaped sunken corners was originally some fortifications for use when the city was attacked, but when the fortress was converted from military to civilian, these spaces were all emptied and converted into residential space, a small part was allocated to the city security garrison as barracks, and most of it was used as a residential area for citizens. The residential areas are all in the corners of the surrounding areas, and the large space vacated in the middle was originally used for two purposes in the military period, but now in the civilian period, it has been changed to public facilities and commercial facilities. Although the city covers an area of 80 square kilometers, it looks very large, but due to the shape of the problem and the original use, there is not much space that can really be used, except for the residential area placed in the corner, there is not much space in the central location, and the space left for each business to use is actually very small, but even so, this transportation center connecting the two countries, the central area is still very lively, merchants and travelers are constantly coming and going, even before and after the city gate is closed, vehicles carrying a large number of goods will still be crowded on the streets, and sometimes even the streets will be completely blocked。

However, this is just a normal scene, but today it is particularly strange, not only are the streets sparsely populated, but there is not a single freight carriage, the sense of crowding and busyness is gone, and only the visual effect of emptiness remains, giving the illusion that this is an empty city. Of course, Catherine hasn't really seen what Wangshan Fortress should look like, but whether it is from the stories left by her ancestors or from the guild's introduction to this fortress, you can understand the liveliness that this place should be, so even if she hasn't seen it with her own eyes, Catherine can still judge that this place is not normal.

However, despite the doubts in her heart, Catherine did not go to inquire about the situation with the guards standing guard at the city gate, although she had used the same method she had just used. There is a high probability that the guards will choose to tell her the situation because they are afraid of her identity, but the nature of the knight maiden makes her not far from forcibly suppressing others to violate military discipline in this way, so after determining that the abnormal situation does not have an impact on the normal functioning of the city, that is, it is not a particularly dangerous and serious problem. I didn't say anything more.,Anyway, after entering the city, there are only hotels to find accommodation.,There is time to understand the anomalies in the city.。

It's a pity that the knight maiden's idea fell through, because she saw two people, or not only her, by one of the main roads of the city. Seven people saw both of them. There is nothing strange about these two people, they seem to be gold-level professionals, standing in front of a building, dressed in gorgeous and decent clothes, with serious expressions, and their eyes are keenly scanning both sides of the street, and on the long street, in every dark corner, you can vaguely see the figure shaking, that is. Dozens or even hundreds of people have faintly controlled this main road, although there is no substantial blockade, but a few pedestrians passing by are also carefully bypassing under the forced gaze of these people, unwilling to pass through this road again.

"I think I know what the anomaly I've been feeling these days. Catherine sighed and said with a wry smile: "Every time they travel, do they have to put on such a big guard of honor?"

"Tsk, it can't be helped, they need to use this method to declare that they are different from ordinary residents. Pannis shrugged. said jokingly: "If you don't do this, how can you show their noble identity and status." ”

Catherine and Pannis would say this because of the fact that the two men standing on either side of the building they had seen and knew their identities. So as soon as they saw them, the two of them basically guessed the general situation, and Pannith scratched his head and asked Catherine in the inquiring eyes of the others, "Do you have any plans?"

"Let's take a look, it's a normal tavern anyway, and it's not their private property. There is no need for a detour. Catherine didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "Anyway, this matter has something to do with their family, so I just asked him to cooperate, so we don't have to go over there and find someone to negotiate." ”

"Who the hell is it, big sister. Lina, who was the most curious, finally couldn't help it, and leaned close to Catherine and whispered, "It sounds like you all know each other, why have I never met these two people, we spend most of our time together." ”

"Nothing, just an annoying guy, at least it used to be. Catherine had a strange smile on her face, and she rarely answered Lina's question directly, and after a perfunctory sentence, she walked over to the tavern where the two men were. Pannis shrugged his shoulders under Lina's threatening gaze and said, "It's nothing, it's just two bodyguards, tsk, a gold-level professional is a bodyguard, guess who it will be?"

Catherine ignored the group of good deeds behind her teammates muttering in secret, and led everyone into the confines of the long street. The moment they stepped into the range, the figures hidden in the shadows seemed to pause, and then all their attention was focused on a few people, and the momentum of dozens of people converged, filling the empty long street with a murderous atmosphere.

However, these dozens of people are obviously just some strong ordinary people and low-level professionals, even if they are well-trained and let the momentum come together, they still can't bring any impact to the powerful legendary professionals, in the face of this momentum that can scare ordinary people away, the seven people walked leisurely to the door of the building as if they didn't feel anything, ignoring the growing hostility. However, the two gold-level bodyguards in front of the door did not show hostility, the two just stood in place with a little embarrassed face, watching Catherine get closer and closer, hesitating and not knowing what to say.

"It's been a long time since you two of you. Catherine didn't show too much oppression, just smiled faintly and said, "It's been almost two years since the separation of the Holy Capital, has everything been going well in the past two years?"

"It turned out to be Miss Catherine. The two gold-level bodyguards said with a dry smile: "Thank you for your concern, everything is fine." ”

"That's good. Catherine nodded reservedly and motioned to the inside of the door, "Mr. Nicholas is inside?"

"Yes, Miss Catherine. One of the bodyguards of the Golden Order replied, "Your Highness is meeting with representatives from all walks of life in some cities inside, trying to understand and grasp the situation of the people of Wangshan City. ”

"Do you feel the feelings of the people? Catherine looked at the blocked street, and looked farther down the street without any freight vehicles, and the knight's etiquette made her not make too harsh comments, but chuckled meaningfully, shook her head, and asked, "We have something to talk to him about, when will his side be over?"

"We don't know very well about that. The bodyguard scratched his head with a dry smile, and said helplessly: "Your Highness has been sitting in it for more than an hour, and it is said that he should be about to come out, but His Highness has no other itinerary at night, and if he is interested, it is also possible to chat with the people in it for a while." ”

"Phew, then let's go inside and wait for him. Catherine sighed, looked at the two bodyguards with calm eyes, and asked, "You two won't want to stop us, will you?" ”

"Well, depending on what you say, how is that possible. The bodyguard laughed even more embarrassedly: "You are a friend of Your Highness, no matter what, we can't stop you from meeting Your Highness, please come in, uh, and all the masters, please take it together." ”

"Thank you both. Catherine was not surprised at all that this bodyguard called her teammate a master, a year ago, the members of the adventure group concentrated on advancing to the legend and became the strongest gold-level adventure group with the strongest average strength in Yara Big 6, this matter may have spread to all forces in the world a long time ago, if the other party is the bodyguard of the royal family of the Ferrar Empire, but does not know that the members of his team are all legendary masters, it is strange. Therefore, Catherine only politely bowed, and let the two bodyguards help her push open the door of the tavern, and slowly walked in. Of course, the two bodyguards did not accompany Catherine, but continued to guard the door very conscientiously, the two of them are gold-level professionals, after all, they also have their own professional ethics, since they have accepted the employer's solicitation, they will do their tasks responsibly, even if they are gold-level to help the employer guard the door.

"Eldest sister, do they call the people inside Your Highness?" Walking through the door, there was a longitudinal corridor with several closed doors on both sides of the corridor, and at the end of the corridor, there was a double-open door, which was supposed to be the hall of the tavern. As a common sense, as a private room in a tavern, several waiters should stand at the door of each door, waiting for the call of the guests in the private room, while the door of the hall should be open, and it should be filled with a noisy crowd. However, there were no waiters in the boxes on either side, and there were two waiters waiting outside the hall. As soon as she entered the door, Lina asked in a low voice, "It seems that this should be a certain prince of the Falar Empire, a friend you met when you were studying in the past?"

"Sort of, second prince of the Farrar Empire. Catherine nodded, "It's not a friend, he once pursued me, but I explicitly rejected it." Two years ago, when you secretly went to the Naryn Kingdom Research Institute, Pannis, and I happened to meet them, including the two bodyguards outside, so when I saw them, I guessed who was inside. ”

"Ha, it turned out to be the suitor of the eldest sister. Lina glanced at Pannis unnoticedly before saying, "Tsk, then he's really pitiful, I feel a little sympathetic to him." ”

"Don't make a fuss. Catherine had already walked out of the hall, waved away the waiter who wanted to come forward for questioning, pushed open the door and walked into the hall, and as soon as she entered the hall, she saw Nicholas sitting in the middle. (To be continued.) )
