Chapter 18 / The Lost Peace

"If I were you, then I'd take at least thirty more people with me. Su Zuo walked behind Vigil, scoffing at the girl's decision, "The black carriage before belonged to the Duke's Palace, right? No matter who is sitting in it, as long as he has an accident, neither you nor the old man will end well, right?"

"Ha......" Wei Jie'er sighed, put her right hand on the long sword at her waist, and turned around, "Thirty people!? With the current manpower, let alone thirty people, thirteen people can't be drawn! One of me is enough, there were many people left on the side of the square...... No, what am I telling you so much!"

"Where's your boss?" Su Zuo tilted his head, ignoring the inadvertent contempt in Wei Jie'er's eyes, and continued to ask, "Listen to what you mean, he doesn't seem to be in the new district now?"

Wei Jie'er didn't stop, but the golden pupils glanced at Su Zuo vigilantly: "Why are you asking so much?"

"Just get information. Su Zuo didn't mind explaining, "Now that we have reached a cooperative relationship with you, then we don't want to end up in vain because of some accidents - the basis of cooperation is that the old man continues to serve as the supreme governor of the Wenning District Security Office, and I don't think that after changing people, we can still talk as well as him." ”

Vigille glanced at the imp beside her with a complicated look, the imp named Evan Ian meant in his words, as if he could represent the Golden Lock of the Raven with full authority. This seems a little ridiculous, but after experiencing the scene of this little ghost convincing the crow man a few nights ago, Vijieer suddenly felt a little unconfident.

But she felt that she was really a mess in her head right now, so it would be good to talk to this little ghost and sort it out by the way.

So the girl straightened her face, thought about it seriously, and then answered Su Zuo's initial question: "Before dawn (Sunday), there was a high-level demonic beast on the outer edge of Wenning District that fell from the fault zone, and Chief Cromwell took people to hunt and kill, and he hasn't come back yet. ”

Su Zuo nodded, because of the collapse, Wenning District has no city walls, and the entire Wenning District is a huge pit, it is easy for the demonic beast to come in, but if you want to go out after coming in, you have to think about it.

"However, apart from Chief Cromwell, the head Sister Knetting of the church is still in the church, so Madame's safety is basically fine, otherwise I wouldn't have left Madame in the first place. ”

Madame...... So, it's the Duchess of Silver Rose?

Su Zuo thought thoughtfully: "So, the square is probably the only place where there hasn't been a problem since today, so you have to rush back to see the situation?"

Wei Jie'er glanced at Su Zuo with a slightly meaningful gaze: "...... Yes...... Oh, yes...... Madame's arrival had been kept completely secret beforehand, and we had only been notified of the sheriff's departure after Chief Cromwell's departure, so it seemed unlikely that we could plan a well-planned attack on Madame in such a short period of time. On the other hand, if the other party's target is not the lady in the first place, but the commoners in the church or the square......"

"Terrorism is everywhere......" Suzo muttered to himself.

"What did you say?" Vigille didn't hear what Suzo was saying.

"No, it's nothing, but speaking of which, the reason why there hasn't been a problem in the square is probably because most of the forces of the church and the police are concentrated there, so no one dares to act rashly...... Hmm!"

Just as Su Zuo was saying this, a black-robed man suddenly bumped into him.

"Sorry ......" left a somewhat hoarse apology, and the tall black-robed man disappeared into the crowd without turning his head.

"Hmm...... Strange people......" Su Zuo rubbed his aching arm and looked at the man's back with some confusion.

I don't know if it's his delusion...... It always felt a little strange to the touch...... It's likeβ€”

Steel?!.

For the kindness and kindness of this Duchess of Silver Rose, even the people of Wenning District have heard a little. The most important reason for this is that, unlike the indifference of the Silver Rose Duke, the young duchess named Shirley often goes to some of the poorer towns and personally distributes gifts to the poor, even if they are of little value.

"Even if it's just something that you can't use and eat as a nobleman for a lifetime, it's heartwarming enough for the poor. ”

With the sugar water bought at the stall on the side, Wei Jie'er chewed and swallowed the biscuits in her hand in a few bites, she hadn't eaten breakfast yet, she was hungry, and she was already hungry.

"Would you like some?"

Looking at the oatmeal biscuits handed over by the girl, Su Zuo shook his head, although he had not seen such high-grade biscuits since he came to this world.

"Is that the Duchess of Silver Rose?"

Standing on the steps of the church door, Suzo and the sheriff's maiden looked at the woman in a goose-yellow dress with a brim and veil covering her face. In front of the police station, more than sixty or seventy meters away, a small space was isolated by the sheriffs with railings and ropes in front of the road, and children in tattered clothes lined up, with surprise and joy on their slightly vegetable-colored faces, kept bowing their heads in thanks, and received a small glass of milk and a small piece of meatloaf from the woman they did not identify. Although the amount of each serving is not very large, it is enough to satisfy their hunger for the day.

What's more important is the faint smell of meat, which can be smelled from a long distance, making the mouth water.

Su Zuo can imagine that there are definitely not a few children who have happy diarrhea tonight because of gastrointestinal discomfort.

"A very good person, although he was born only as the daughter of a wealthy merchant, but he was very kind, and before he married the Duke of Feldnan, he liked to help the commoners around him, and his faith was also very pious. ”

Although it can't be seen from the way she is mixed up with Su Zuo now, Miss Sheriff is from an upper-class aristocratic background after all, and she is easy to know about some aristocratic secrets that are rarely known to commoners.

"He's a good guy...... But how do you look like there aren't many guards around her?" Su Zuo counted, except for the two maids who were holding the baby behind the lady, only 12 people guarding the Duchess of Silver Rose at this time were wearing different uniforms from the sheriff.

"Your eyes are weird...... No, it's not so much the eyes, but that you, a ghetto imp, can realize that something is wrong so quickly...... Have you really never heard anything like this?"

"Rumors are just rumors, they can't push the truth, they hide the real truth. Only by seeing it with one's own eyes and combing it out with heart can it be convincing...... "Su Zuo did not directly deny it, he built a pergola above his eyes with his hand, and looked at the mature duchess in the distance, even if he couldn't see his face, but only the curves and temperament that were like ripe peaches were extremely attractive.

"Hah...... I'm convinced, as you guessed, this Duchess...... It's really not very favored. ”

Virgin sighed and explained to Suzo, "Grand Duke Feldenand had a very good relationship with his assassinated first wife, Lady Shirlier, and even after her death. On the contrary, the Grand Duke was very indifferent to Mrs. Shirley, especially after Mrs. Shirley gave birth to a daughter in her first child, and Duke Feldnan was even more cold to her. ”

"Yes, too...... If the family is happy, who will be idle and have nothing to do, not soak with their family during the festival, and run out to mingle with the poor......"

I don't know if it's an illusion, Vigil always feels that there is something in Su Zuo's ridicule.

However, Wei Jie'er raised her eyebrows and didn't say anything, but continued: "But even so, this little county lord is the only bloodline of the Silver Rose family after the assassination of the little duke, and the twenty-one years of the Nanling War have caused heavy losses to the Silver Rose family - no wonder the first emperor must overcome public opinion and crown the first grand duke as a hereditary duke." It's just that...... I'm afraid that many nobles are now watching from the sidelines, expecting this powerful and fragile silver rose bloodline to completely wither. ”

Vigil's tone was cold, as if the nobles in her mouth who were watching coldly had nothing to do with her. Her gaze lingered for a moment on the baby the maid was holding, and then she looked into the distance.

"I see. Su Zuo drank the sugar water in his hand, "So, are you just standing here?

"No need, just to guard, there are enough people around Madame, I believe that those heretics are not capable of infiltrating the children to assassinate Madame under the noses of the monks of the Prayer Society. As for me, I'd like to take a look at the bazaar in the square and see if I can find anyone who behaves unusually. ”

Speaking of this, Vigille raised her hand and looked at her uniform: "But my dress is too conspicuous, so-"

"So I want to ask if I can help you?" Su Zuo rubbed his forehead, and he suddenly realized why Vijie'er suddenly became so talkative.

Taking advantage of the girl's unpreparedness, Su Zuo jumped up: "This is still free! I'm going back to Nolan Jier soon, I told you that I'm very short on time!"

Before escaping from the girl's sight, Su Zuo suddenly remembered the previous incident, so he turned around and glanced at the girl's sheriff who seemed to be a little depressed:

"But it's kind enough to remind you - watch out for a tall man in a black robe, who seems to have an iron ...... on his body."

Su Zuo opened his mouth, but suddenly found that he couldn't hear his own voice with some shock.

The next moment, a blazing shockwave tossed him to the ground.

The exposed skin was blazing, his ears were buzzing, and he wiped away the tears in his eyes, and Su Zuo looked at the severely bruised arms and leg joints and got up.

The vision that was originally densely packed with people instantly emptied.

Standing in the midst of the billowing fire and smoke, Suzo saw that the square in front of him -

Flat.;
