Chapter 641: Chance Encounter
"Traces left by people from other city-states?" Dyric repeated Mr. Tower's commission, and was in a quandary, after all, the city had been abandoned for a long time, and even if people from other city-states had arrived and left traces, he couldn't tell whether it was the city's original existence or the visitors' from other city-states......
Abner guessed his difficulty, so he added with a smile: "When I say the traces of other city-states, I mean the one that is very different from the civilization of Silver City and that ruined city, and you can recognize the difference at a glance. β
"I see...... I understand. "The Sun" Derick breathed a sigh of relief, and then said seriously, "I'll keep an eye on it for you." β
"Everything is still based on your own safety, don't forget what Mr. 'Hanged Man' just taught for my sake." Abner finally admonished.
For him, it would be best to find what he had "prophesied", and if he couldn't, forget it...... It's not a necessity anyway.
"Okay." Despite this answer, Darek decided to investigate the ruined city as he explored1.
And this is not contrary to the "know-how" shared by Mr. "The Hanged Man", after all, what he said is that after entering the temple, "don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't listen to what you shouldn't hear, don't eat what you shouldn't eat, and don't touch what you shouldn't touch." ββ¦β¦
The ruins of the city did not belong to the temple.
Regarding the matter of "Tower" entrusting "Sun", "Justice" and "Hanged Man" and others were curious, but they didn't ask much, after all, looking at Mr. "Tower", they didn't want to say more.
After this topic, Alger looked at the ladies opposite, especially "justice" and "judgment", and asked in organizational language:
"I would like to know how the political situation in Beckland has changed since the death of Duke Negan.
"And will the risk of war increase as a result?"
Soon after he joined the Tarot Society, he commissioned Miss Justice to find out if the kingdom would go to war with Fersak...... The end result was that Rune was not ready and had no intention of war.
- This information comes from Susie's eavesdropping in Earl 1's study.
Audrey recalls what she has heard directly or indirectly recently:
"The death of Duke Negan has divided the House of Lords, and although his eldest son is about to inherit the title and become a member of the House of Lords, the prestige will not be enough to quell the strife.
Nearly a dozen members of the House of Lords jointly proposed that the newly knighted nobles also have the opportunity to get fixed seats.
"To put it simply, to allow those who have been made nobles by political donations, charitable donations, and the purchase of corresponding land to become members of the House of Lords.
"As for the war...... I think that the 'Aurora Society' has taken all the blame for the crime, and it has sent a big enough signal. β
"Trial" Hugh also added on the side: "MI9 failed to catch Bianca, the military attache of the Intis embassy pretending to be Mrs. Panis......
But that still doesn't hide the fact that Baron Larry is being financed by the Intis side...... Although, the Irving envoy has repeatedly stated that it was only the private act of a defector military attachΓ©.
"However, according to my judgment, at most, Intis will hand over another person with enough 'weight' to 'confess'. That's the end of it.
"Given the pressure from Fersak, there's no way the kingdom really has a face-to-face with Intis."
Hearing this, the "hanged man" Alger breathed a sigh of relief, and after whispering "In a short time, there will indeed be no war", commented on the proposal of the House of Lords in a slightly mocking tone:
"Aren't the nobles with a certain history of the family despising this kind of guy who has been enthroned by abnormal means? Isn't the last glory of their greatest pride hereditary, a fixed seat in the House of Lords? β
"Justice" Audrey didn't care about this, and only calmly said another thing:
"Fortunately, although many bills have been shelved due to the controversy, including but not limited to matters such as raising workers' compensation, improving working hours and amending the Poor Law, the unified examination for government employees proposed by Mr. 'Fool' is still progressing steadily and has not stopped! Well, the investigation into the air pollution situation in Beckland is also deepening. β
Obviously, it is the shelved event of the "Black Emperor" ceremony! Is a set of rules that are complex but contrary to normal circumstances? George III apparently wanted to wait for the Great Smog to pass, and when the Church persecuted him, he naturally agreed......
Doing so will largely avoid the suspicion of the church...... Although all the true gods know it in their hearts......
Abner shook his head secretly, but he felt that George III's path to "godhood" might not be as smooth as in the original book...... After all, the traverser dressed as the "Calamity Seal" obviously knew the plot, and even if Russell only heard a few words, he would not be without arrangement.

Upon returning to reality, Hugh removed his disguise and left the safe house. Head to MI9 headquarters at 9 Bellotto Street, West End.
She wanted to first report the matter of the blonde man reported by Mr. "World" to her boss, Her Royal Highness Vera.
But as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw through the lawn that His Royal Highness Vera was talking to a middle-aged man wearing a white wig and hood.
And the man, Hugh recognized.
He was Hugh's father's deputy, the current chief of the palace guard, Viscount Stafford .
Hugh had always thought that the only viscount who had been promoted in her father's case had framed her father, most likely her enemy, before he met Abner.
But now, Hugh doesn't think so......
After all, just a palace chief of guard is worthy of Abner's jealousy?
Even if he had something to do with his father's death, he was at most a minor minor character.
Thinking so in his heart, Hugh withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened, and walked towards His Highness's office, where he prepared to wait for His Highness's return.
Ten minutes later, Vera, who had listened to Hugh's report, took out a portrait and said, "This is a new task given to us from above, brought by the chief of the palace guard himself...... So, everything else has to be put aside first. β
Hugh glanced at the man in the portrait and saw that it was a man with soft features and a bronze complexion.
There is also a brief introduction under the portrait: Faculty members of the Department of History......
"What about the 'blonde man' who colluded with the devil?" Hugh's eyes swept over the portrait, but he still didn't give up on what Mr. "World" had reported.
"You have no proof...... And we don't have the manpower to investigate it now......" Vera changed her tone and said with a smile, "However, I can reveal this matter to the Prime Minister, and I am sure he will be happy to find out." β
Hugh breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and instead looked at the portrait carefully, and asked as he looked at it, "What has happened to this man?"
"Even the chief of the palace guard is here."
"I don't know exactly...... But he seems to have broken into the Sodrak Palace! β
β¦β¦
The capital of the Rorsted Islands, the city of generosity.
Alger Wilson walked out of the hotel and headed for the underground market at the Fragrant Leaf Bar.
After the "Julius" Ozil was punished by heaven and died, and after the owner of this extraordinary trading place changed, its fame became bigger and bigger, and the level of extraordinary items that appeared also increased a lot.
Although this is due to the existence of "appraisers" and "notaries", there are also reasons why "Sea Serpent" Weaver is really good at management.
And this time, the "appraiser" and "notary" behind the scenes released several pages of "Russelwin's notes" ready for sale......
This is a treasure that Alger must not miss! It's a must-have to please Mr. "Fool"!
Of course, if there are materials that Miss "Justice" needs to appear, he will not hesitate to buy them.
After all, it is absolutely impossible to help that young lady to buy on behalf of you.

On the eastern side of Beckland, Abner left his residence on "Black Palm Street" and walked to the free school only a dozen meters away from the eastern boundary with a lesson plan prepared.
However, as soon as he stepped through the school gate, he saw an acquaintance walking out of him.
The man was wearing a hooded black robe, blue eyeshadow and blush, and had a kind of bewitching beauty.
It was Ms. Dali.
