The news came so suddenly, that it was calm last night, and this morning, with the word of mouth of the people, coupled with the fanning of the flames by people with good intentions, there was information about the "assassination of the old king" all over the sky.

For a moment, the people of Snowfield City were panicked.

And at this moment, Stendhal, the lord of Snow City, openly stood up, declared his independence, and supported Evelyn, the lord of the Ice Wind, to become the queen of the Eastern Kingdom!

Stendhal's reason is also very strong: he tells the world that Evelyn is the rightful descendant of Caesar's empire, and in the coming troubled times, only Caesar, the god of war, can protect his people and finally fight their way out.

The news is still circulating through the grapevine, and it is not quite believed that Stendhal, who has always been steady, could suddenly become a wild wave at such a time - to be the first to stand up when the situation is still unstable, sometimes it may have the effect of a rally, but more often than not, he will be shot in the head.

In any case, the situation in Snow City is much more tense today, there are significantly fewer people on the streets, and people are talking in various places.

The only constant seems to be the Blue Coat who preach everywhere.

Still smiling, they tell passers-by about the brotherhood of the Ice Goddess and the Frost Giant, and then spread the Goddess's glory and the heroic history of the Frost Giant.

The upheaval in the Eastern Kingdoms seems to have nothing to do with them.

……

"Are you sure?" Xu Nan frowned.

In the room, there was a nervous Geralt, a black cat with a blank face, and Qin Lele, who hadn't woken up yet...... and Gray, who just came back.

As soon as the information broke out, Gray went out to seek verification, and now that he has returned, it means that he has investigated what he wants.

Sure enough, Gray just took a sip of red wine and nodded solemnly:

"The old king was indeed assassinated, there is a lot of chaos in the capital, the news just reached Snow Plains City yesterday, and it is estimated that there will be signs of the Ice Wind Collar at this time."

"Stendhal's declaration is also true, this guy is probably crazy, and even sent messengers to the city-states of the Eastern Kingdom, announcing the independence of Snow City and his own intentions...... It's completely incredible. ”

Xu Nan was a little strange.

Is it true that the Lord of Snow Plains City is doing this just to support Evelyn? In order to support Evelyn, he did not hesitate to involve the news of Caesar's empire. If it's for Evelyn's sake, keeping a low profile is the most important thing at this time, right?

As Gray said, the capital of the Eastern Kingdom doesn't have to think about it at this time, I'm afraid that the fight has already started, and when the rest of the people are almost fighting, wouldn't Evelyn, who has a good location, jump out again, wouldn't it be more initiative?

Stendhal did this, and he simply put Evelyn on the brazier and roasted it, and there was no room for maneuver.

Their only advantage here may be geography.

After all, Snow Plains City and the Ice Wind Territory have always been an enclave for the Eastern Kingdom, and no matter how unhappy the princes and daughters of the capital are, I am afraid that they will have to solve the war in the south first, and then deal with this enclave.

According to Gray's investigation and the news that Xu Nan got from the mouths of the people, the city lord of Stendhal should be a very stable person, whose power was directly given by the old king, and he was not a nobleman, but he had a military rank, and the army of Snow City obeyed him.

It is precisely because of this that he can manage the sensitive territory of the Cold Mountain Pass.

For many years, his style has been very low-key, how could he suddenly jump out as if he was sick?

"I don't know how Evelyn feels now......"

Xu Nan didn't have a chance to use the drifting bottle, and it was estimated that Evelyn didn't have time to read the note, and most of them were already busy at this time.

"Stendhal seems to be an important supporter of the Blue Coleus."

Gray hesitated for a moment and added.

He looked at Xu Nan and said.

The rest of the people were unconscious, only Xu Nan nodded.

He had asked Gray to investigate the leader of the Blue Coat, but he didn't expect to have an eyebrow so soon.

"Stendhal is a member of the Blue Coat Cult, the Blue Coat is a heretic within the Church of the Goddess, but it is not forbidden by the headquarters, what does the Ice Goddess want to do?" Xu Nan keenly sensed a hint of conspiracy.

It's a pity that they are too far away from the capital, and these news will have some impact on people's daily lives at most, and there are no more changes to be seen for the time being.

But in the long run, no matter who ultimately ascends to the throne, the relatively peaceful land of the Eastern Kingdoms will soon be filled with the terrifying sound of iron hooves and blood.

War.

Xu Nan silently recited this word, and the group went downstairs to eat.

The lunch at the Sand Tooth Inn is quite good, the bread is soft, the soup stock is obviously added with some unknown wild fruits, and although it is not rich in cream, it is still very good, and the roast veal and roast pork are a must.

I didn't expect Quirlas to pick a hotel.

For the rest of the day, instead of going upstairs, they chose to wait for Quellas in the hall. According to the latter, today is the day of the action, and it is not known whether the news of the assassination of the old king will affect the plan.

Qin Lele went to the basement to play billiards, Geralt was lying on the table and began to squint for a while, and the black cat, since he saw him in the morning, this guy looked demented, and he didn't know what stimulation he encountered.

Xu Nan sat bored in the corner of the hotel.

There are very few people coming and going, either passers-by or the vendors of the inn.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the atmosphere in the hall finally changed slightly.

A group of plainly dressed people walked in, and the smell of the mountains and wilderness was blowing in their faces.

"Darkmoon druids?" Xu Nan raised her eyelids with interest.

It's not hard to determine from their insignia that these druids are supposed to be of the same origin as the people he saw in the supply town; It's just that the organizations they belong to may not be the same, and Xu Nan keenly noticed the difference in the color of the outer edge of the badge.

Are there factions within the Darkmoon Druids as well?

As he thought this, the six or seven druids had already finished talking to their boss in a low voice and quickly went upstairs.

It seems that they have no intention of staying in the hall.

Xu Nan observed for a while, and instinctively felt that things were a bit too coincidental. The Darkmoon Druids never enter the city without special circumstances, and there are actually six or seven druids in the inn at this time, what are their goals?

He was just about to do something, when suddenly a chill came from behind him like water droplets.

At that moment, Xu Nan's reaction was amazingly fast, he didn't look back, but jumped forward violently, and rarely directly activated the Apocalypse Form!

But this Apocalypse Form only lasted less than half a second before Xu Nan quickly canceled it - his current Apocalypse Power was a little less, not the most critical time, and he couldn't afford to waste it.

And the reason why he quickly chose to turn it off was because he saw clearly that the person who came was actually half an acquaintance!

The other party seemed to be a little surprised, she looked at Xu Nan with deep eyes:

"My strength has improved a lot, and I deserve to be my son."

Xu Nan laughed dryly: "Sister Song, don't come unharmed." ”

He didn't dare to call his aunt for fear of being beaten by fat.

The person in front of him was Song Xiaocheng's mother, Song Ying, who was sent to the other world by Xu Nan with an unstable portal, and the two had also met in the battle of Lyles Plains before. At that time, Xu Nan pretended to be Song Xiaocheng's name and was recognized by her, and it was no wonder that she took advantage of Xu Nan as soon as they met today.

Song Xiaocheng's mother and son are not simple, especially this Song Ying, who was willing to give up everything just to go to the other world, and her strength is also unfathomable, and she is deeply valued by Evelyn......

Evelyn's weight?

Xu Nan reacted suddenly: "The master that Evelyn said? ”

"That's me." Song Ying was not polite, sat directly at Xu Nan's table, grabbed a plate of barbecue and began to eat it by herself.

She looked hungry for a long time, and soon, a plate of roast meat was emptied.

She looked at Xu Nan quietly.

Xu Nan shouted two more pots of barbecue very respectfully.

Song Ying's strength is about to be close to the legend, so it will give him such a strong sense of oppression, just now she was just behind him, forcing Xu Nan to involuntarily activate the apocalypse form, maybe she just wanted to play a joke with Xu Nan.

But she's really strong.

Among the earthlings, second only to Lu Honghong, it may be stronger than Ah Kundu!

This is Xu Nan's evaluation in his heart.

And at this time, he suddenly noticed the looming pattern on Song Ying's wrist in his spare eye.

Is that......

Darkmoon Druid!

"It's not easy to stay in the mountains for a long time, and it's not easy to have a good meal."

Song Ying sighed a little: "Those old-fashioned people in the village eat grass all day long, and I don't know how they persevered. ”

"What's wrong? What about the old man in Quelas? ”

Xu Nan briefly talked about the current situation, Song Ying didn't ask much, her style was more straightforward, and after handing the handover letter that Evelyn gave her to Xu Nan for verification, she sat there quite elegantly and didn't speak.

She didn't seem to care much about Song Xiaocheng's situation either.

This pair of abnormal mother and son, Xu Nan doesn't want to interfere too much in their lives. Since Evelyn was willing to send her over in such a matter, she naturally believed in her character and ability.

It's just that the identity of the Darkmoon Druid is really a little curious.

Xu Nan thought she was a thief or some kind of powerful melee class.

As if guessing what Xu Nan was thinking, Song Ying suddenly spoke:

"Among the druids, there are also those who are proficient in assassination."

Xu Nan bowed slightly, and he pondered for a moment:

"Two days earlier, I saw two squads of Darkmoon Druids in Tarun Village, heading in the direction of the Berserk Sea."

Song Ying was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of her mouth showed a mocking look:

"They still don't give up."

And then there was no then.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely embarrassing, which made Xu Nan restless, and after a while, he ran to play billiards with Qin Lele, which made Qin Lele teary-eyed, thinking that Xu Nan was reluctant to be bored down there alone, so he deliberately came down to accompany her......

Song Ying has a depressive temperament on her body, which makes people have to be in awe.

Not even the bloodline of the Ron Warlock is immune.

This kind of temperament has nothing to do with the profession of the Dark Moon Druid, Xu Nan vaguely smelled the smell of fear.

He thought of Song Xiaocheng's Throne of Fear.

The water must have been deep, but he didn't want to wade at all.

By evening, Quelas had finally returned.

"The plan remains the same, act tonight!"
