Chapter 61: No More Naivety (1)
The search organized by the Duke's army and Raffedion lasted for several days before it had to be completed, and the search had expanded from the interior of the city to the surrounding villages and nearby lords' spheres of influence, but nothing was found except for a large number of hidden necromancers, vampires, and various criminals, and merchants from different parts of the city began to put pressure on the searchers.

The city's curfew had been loosened considerably, and the caravans and travelers who had been stranded here were starting to embark on their journeys, and the dense crowd of people was making it difficult for the guards to check on them, and the Templars who had been transferred to spy on suspicious figures were not able to act at a time like this, and it would be difficult to deal with them once they aroused public anger.
Two women in black robes mingled in the crowd and slowly made their way towards the exit of the city gate, dressed in the most ordinary traveler's attire and attracting no attention at all.
"In the future, you have to exercise regularly~ Don't stay at home all day~ Go out for a walk more~" Di Sein whispered in the other party's ear while holding Nuleki, "Otherwise, you will often be pressed in the future, you know~"
"......" was physically exhausted, and the soft body of the newerki ignored the other party's words, but silently left the city with the support of the other party and headed for the unknown distance.
It's been a few days since the sad and embarrassing things have passed, and Shilinya still hasn't come out of the shadows of these things, and the bright sun has no way to dispel the gloom on Shilinya's face.
This is the hall where the Duke of Anjitan was responsible for handling political affairs and receiving visitors, and the layout is simple, with some wall pillars as decoration for the hall, but some of the sculptures on the wall pillars are also some kind and pleasing to the eye. As a hall, there is no shortage of light sources, the east and west walls are replaced by large sloping glass more than two meters, through the glass, the light from the outside can shine unhindered on the carpet in the middle of the hall, the red carpet extends from the door of the hall to a long table at the end of the hall, this long table and its chairs on both sides are the only tables and seating for the Duke and his cabinet and visitors, and in addition to this, there are ten soldiers on both sides of the hall to guard against all kinds of emergencies。
The people sitting here now are Alain as a duke, Kane as a court mage, Leander who wears many hats, and Turis, who is now known to be the military governor, and Shilinya, who is on the sidelines.
Now Shilinya is not in the mood to listen to the way the people here handle political affairs, because she is still bothered by what happened a few days ago.
The shameful thing of the previous few days was finally covered up with the help of Delphi, but Shilinya can be completely sure that she is not doing a dream of harmony here because of some physical development, but it is indeed happening around her, otherwise she will not be able to explain why her bed has become like this, no matter what, Shilinya will not believe that she has such a strange physical fitness.
As soon as she thought of the so-called dream that night, Shilinya became very ashamed, and she didn't know whether she should give such an important clue to the church or her father, because if she did, her image and reputation would be ruined!
However, despite such troubles, Shilinya is not without any happy things to tell, because the day after the embarrassing incident, Shilinya's contact with Newleki was completely restored, which is something worth celebrating alone, at least proving that it is not the boss who is preparing for a replacement or that she has a physical problem and wants to retire.
"Ahem......" Alain's coughing sound brought Shirinya, whose thoughts were constantly spreading outward, back to reality.
When Shilinya looked directly into her father's red eyes, the other party's frightening cold light made Shilinya feel very terrifying, maybe her distraction just now made the other party dissatisfied, right?
Ever since he came to Anjitan, Alain's face has always been gloomy with a gloomy haze, first his daughter's accident, then his wife's body was stolen, and now he has to accept all kinds of difficulties from the representatives of public opinion from all walks of life in the territory, no matter who it is, he will have a good mood.
Once here, Shilinya realized how murderous her father, with whom she usually had a good relationship, and that every vampire and necromancer arrested by the soldiers had been handed over to Alain for interrogation since the search began.
Ghosts cry wolf, this is the best description of the screams heard when passing through the prison, Shilinya can hardly imagine what those vampires and necromancers who have a very strong resistance to physical torture have gone through to make such a terrifying sound.
Now Shilinya is very reluctant to be alone with her father, let alone provoke the other party's anger.
"Next!" the voice echoed in the hall with almost gnashing teeth, and the soldier in charge of guiding the visitors was shaken with fright, but it was only a brief moment before he regained his original composure and continued his work, bringing in the personnel waiting in line outside.
More than ten seconds passed quickly, and when the door of the hall opened again, the soldiers who guided the guide brought an unusually tall monster into the hall.
"White Orc!" Shilinya looked at the strong creature in front of her in surprise, the White Orc is a powerful branch of the Orc, which only appeared to the El Continent a hundred years ago, and according to legend, the gate came here from the far western continent, and the main purpose of coming here is to build a trading post and do business.
Although the White Orcs were classified as orcs by the scholars of the Classified Continent, the White Orcs were very angry about this, because they said, "We have nothing to do with some backward and barbaric garbage, and you are also a pile of useless garbage!"
They are proud, but they have a lot of strength to match.
Although these merchants from afar brought all kinds of strange goods to exchange, which benefited the merchants and nobles of the El Continent, they were not likable here, not only because of the arrogance of the other party, but also because the other party was an atheist.
"Shadlock, the steward of the Anjitan Trading Post, has come to see the Duke. "Although the proud reputation of these white orcs overshadows their other abilities, there is no slackness in etiquette.
Shilinya carefully observed the white orc, which was more than two meters tall, the gray-white muscles of the other party were as strong as rocks, and he had a pair of horns on his head that were upturned backwards, and his facial features were almost the same as those of humans, and he did not have the fangs of those traditional green orcs and red orcs. Legend has it that these white orcs have an amazing civilization, they have quite powerful forging skills, but these are not reflected in the other party's body, a pair of red trousers and two heavy iron shoulder pads painted red with a few belts fixed on the body, other than any clothing and equipment, according to legend, these white orcs are also dressed like this on the battlefield, and the rest of the places are exposed, I don't know if the other party is confident or lacks resources.
The White Orcs who met him were the stewards of the trading post set up by the White Orcs in Anjitan, who were far away in the west, and now the arrival of the other party was to negotiate with Alan about the closure order in the past few days. On this issue, both sides are constantly arguing, Alain hopes that he will only compensate the other party a little, but Shadlock continues to raise the price of compensation, hoping to get more benefits from it.
"People on both sides are cheeky guys!" The argument of the crowd in the audience completely attracted Shilinya's attention, but after listening for a while, Shilinya concluded that all kinds of shameful and stupid remarks of the two sides for their own interests were endless.
Although I have heard that these white orcs are different from the traditional orcs in the past, when they really meet, they still have to sigh at the magic of nature, how can the other party have a stupid body but also have a smart mind? Compared with those green orcs and red orcs with amazing physical qualities but low average IQ, the white orcs and the other party are not the same species at all.
The quarrel continued, and Shilinya also came to this understanding from the negotiations between the two sides - her father seemed to be quite afraid of these white orcs, not because of his combat strength, but because he was afraid that the other party would blockade him with him, so although the quarrel was fierce, it was controlled within a range that would not be turned over by both sides.
Suddenly, Shilinya seemed to faintly hear a sharp sound breaking through the sky overhead, indistinct, and Shilinya didn't know if she was delusional.
But soon, Shilinya found that she was not delusional, because everyone present turned their eyes to the direction where the sound came from - outside the beveled glass on the east side, because of the glass manufacturing process, these beveled glasses could not allow everyone to fully see what was going on outside, but through the blurred mirror, a rapidly enlarged black shadow could still be seen, slowly entering everyone's field of vision.
Bang!
The loud sound of shattering glass echoed through the hall, and shards of broken glass scattered from mid-air to all directions. The shards of glass that scatter the sun's rays make the sky above the hall crystal bright, like stardust scattered on the earth, beautiful and dreamy.
But no one will pay attention to these things, because everyone here is attracted by this object that fell from the sky.
It was just the corpse of an obese middle-aged woman, and the fall from a high altitude had made the other party's body tattered, and the blood in the body had spread on the ground, gradually merging with other splashed blood into a pool of blood.
