Hyderabad, over the bloody kapok mounds, across a few frozen rivers, about thirty miles from the center of the imperial capital, there is a small and inconspicuous village.

This is an ordinary small farm, with three or five hundred households, thousands of acres of frozen wheat fields, stacks of wheat stalks. The watchdog raised by the farmer is holding his tail between his legs, walking on the ridge in twos and threes.

In the village, there is a small inn.

The inn is not big, and there are only twelve rooms in the two-story building, but it is very neat and clean, not luxurious, but comfortable enough.

In a room at the bottom of the corridor on the second floor, Vilenya, wrapped in a thick cloak, opened the window and looked into the distance—from her, she could see the dirt road leading from Hyderabador to the village.

She, waiting for news.

Last night, she mortgaged the ruby to Joe and took two million gold marks in cash......

She never dreamed that countless abyssal creatures would suddenly emerge from the Apophis Palace.

A large explosion broke out at the Apophis Palace, and the entire main building was burned like torches, and several of the Vitu's guards who escorted her home left her, turned around and ran back to the Apophis Palace for reinforcements.

And Vilenya, her instinctive instinct is that this fire has something to do with the ruby she mortgaged.

As fast as she could, with two boxes of cash, she found the nearest Portus, and with the strength of the tribesmen, she left Hyderabad in a hurry.

This small inn was also run by the Portusse people.

Basically, the people of Portusse are wandering around, and very few people have settled down and bought homes.

But there are always exceptions, and some of the more intelligent leaders of the Portusse tribe will arrange for some clever ghosts to set up a stronghold in some places. These strongholds are scattered throughout the mainland of Medland, serving as safe houses, trading points, and gathering places for intelligence......

In short, these strongholds gave the Portusse a great convenience.

The proprietor and hostess of this small inn are Potusse people who have whitewashed their identities. No one knows where they came from, so this little inn is very safe.

"Damn it...... Woman. Vilenya grimaced, gritting her teeth, her fingers tapping at the small square table in front of her.

The two boxes of cash were casually discarded in the corner of the room, and Vilenya didn't bother to look at them.

She vaguely felt that she had been cheated by someone, and she was cheated with Joe.

Of course, she knew in advance that Joe was definitely going to be cheated this time...... But she didn't expect that damn woman to even get into the trap with her.

When the woman gave her the ruby and sent her to borrow money from Joe, she guessed that there was something very wrong with the ruby.

However, she could not refuse the other party's request.

Besides, although Joe is a good man, he ...... After all, he is an outsider, but she has such a special and noble identity among the Portusse people.

What else could she choose?

Of course, it can only be at the expense of Joe, what else can she do?

But...... That damn woman.

That ruby had just been sent into the Apophis Palace, and she had just left the Apophis Palace for half a mile, when the entire Apophis Palace burst into flames, and then there was the hysterical screams of those abyssal creatures!

No matter how stupid Vilenya was, she knew there was something wrong with that ruby.

But, but, even if the other party's calculated target was Joe, couldn't that ruby explode two days later? As long as it broke out two days later, she would be able to clear all suspicions, and she would be able to leave Hyderabador safely with cash.

But now......

"A new marquis, with no roots in Hydrerabad, and very few connections...... The power he can wield is very limited. Vilenya frowned, thinking about what her people had found out about Joe these days.

"If he's safe, he's going to look after it."

"Well, Director Hammer of the University of Justice has a close relationship with him, so he should be able to borrow some of the power of the police department."

"However, after all, he only has a little relationship with Director Hammer, and there are very few forces he can borrow from the police department."

"He's got the credit of Prince Salian, and perhaps, some of the Army's people, and some of the War Department's intelligence officers, will join the investigation because of this matter."

"It's just that this matter has little to do with the army, and the attacker is only Joe after all, not Prince Salian. Therefore, the intensity of their investigation will not be very large. ”

"Of course, the Apophis Palace was destroyed...... It's a big, very big thing, and the top brass of the empire must be furious, after all, it's not far from the Hydra Palace...... Damn woman, you've hurt me. ”

"I don't have to worry about retribution from Joe or the Ritu.

"I just have to worry about the reaction of the Empire...... But will the Empire focus on me? ”

Vilenya frowned, her brain tumbling in distress.

"Ah, damn woman...... Now, where should I go? Damn, I shouldn't have even left Hydrerabad yesterday, I should have stayed in my own place...... Who can be sure that the ruby has something to do with this incident? ”

"But, damn it, I can't risk it."

"If I get caught, if they suspect me...... According to what those fools said, the terrible black prison of the empire, tortured ...... Oh, there's no way I'm putting myself in danger. ”

"It's wise to run away."

"Now, it's up to them to find out...... How strong is the power of the investigation, how much importance the empire attaches to this matter, and who and which departments have joined the investigation...... Perhaps, I still have a chance. ”

Vilenya shook her head in pain: "I'm confused, I shouldn't be involved in this...... But I can't say no, I can't say no...... I can't, and I don't dare...... Damn, Mentor Sherlock is right, strength, power, power......"

"If I can't have absolute power, I should have a lot of power and connections...... Oh! Damn it! ”

A gleam flashed in Vilenya's eyes: "If yesterday, I confessed to Joe...... However, it was too late, too late...... And I can't take any chances, I can't take any chances, even if he takes me to see Prince Salian, what can I do? ”

Vilenya stared fiercely at the avenue that snaked in the direction of Hydrderabad.

If someone chased after her from Hyderabad, then she would not be able to hide her observations - under this small inn, there were secret rooms for hiding, and there were secret passages for escape, as long as she found someone chasing her, she would definitely be able to find the other party in advance, and then leave the small village calmly.

High in the air, 60,000 feet above the ground.

A giant war airship sped from the direction of Hyderafort to the top of the small village.

In the airship's pod, more than a dozen Hydra guards surrounded a middle-aged man Potuse, who was covered in blood, whose limbs were crushed inch by inch, and whose fingers, toes, ears, and nose were all cut off with sharp knives.

A Hydra guard brutally grabbed the middle-aged man, grabbed him by the neck, and hoisted him to the window of the pod.

"Is this it? Lucoco Village? ”

The middle-aged man lowered his head and looked at the ground tremblingly.

The clouds in the sky happened to crack a cloud crack, revealing the small village below. But 60,000 feet above the ground, at such a height, the middle-aged man could barely see the small village below.

"Lu Keke Village, the small inn of Aunt Lily's house at the entrance of the village to the north...... She's right there. The middle-aged man suddenly howled hysterically: "That's right, I helped her leave Hyderabad yesterday, but I don't know, I don't know what happened to her...... She's the little princess Portusse, woo, I'm just, I'm just ......"

The middle-aged man screamed: "I am innocent, I am innocent, I helped her leave, just to fulfill the obligation of a Portusse...... On weekdays, I help people run away, and the fee is at least 100 gold marks, but I didn't even confiscate a copper yesterday! ”

Hydra's secret guard threw him down: "Catch someone, you and your people, ...... alive Can't catch, you and your people, die! ”

A dozen Hydra guards jumped out of the pod, turning into wisps of black smoke, enveloping a few human figures, and falling straight from the air towards the small village below.

Vilenya was still sitting by the window, her body writhing a little uneasily.

Why hasn't there been news yet, why hasn't there been news yet......

She put her right index finger into her mouth in distress, and gnawed her nails hard with her teeth: "Joe, Joe, Joe, I didn't mean to...... But, I don't want to, I'm ...... too"

A dull thunderclap came, and then black lightning enveloped the entire inn.

Black lightning, but with a sharp flash that makes it impossible to look at directly.

The thunder sounded like a cannon blasting in Vilenya's ears, and Vilenya let out a terrible howl, her cloak exploded, and she flew to the bed in the room, reaching for a black crystal ball next to her pillow.

The entire inn was blown to pieces.

Black lightning slashed wildly at countless fragments, and fine electricity struck everyone in the inn.

The innkeeper, the proprietress and several maids let out a terrible howl at the same time, and they had no power to resist before they were chopped to the ground by the electricity. They are just ordinary people, ordinary people in the real sense, except for the boss who opened up the sea of power, everyone else is completely pure ordinary people!

In the face of the transcendent sixth-order Hydra Secret Guards, they were powerless to resist.

The dense electric light was like a large net, enveloping the entire inn...... In the lightning, Vilenya spat blood, her hands clenching the black crystal ball, and a thick white mist continued to erupt from all around her body.

More than a dozen Hydra guards were quietly suspended in the air more than twenty feet above the ground, they squinted at the frightened Vilenya, and the Hydra guards who kept emitting water waves with their hands said coldly: "Marquis Joe von Wittu has an order, if you don't follow us back to Hyderabad, he will give the order to kill all the Portusians in Hyderabador and more than a dozen surrounding provinces!" ”

Vilenya's eyes widened in horror: "Oh, no, no, no, you can't do this! ”

Another Hydra guard sighed, "No, he has absolute power to do this!" ”

The Hydra guards stared coldly at Vilenya.

Poor little woman, you have no idea what a terrible guy you have offended.

The chubby guy, he wasn't scary at all, but he got the favor of a terrible character, and he actually mastered Heringer's killing for the time being......

Oh, the great Hydra is on top!

Poor little woman!
