Compared to the bustling central capital, Avakelin can only be regarded as a small city, but even so, the city is divided into two areas according to function. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The first is the living quarters that occupy most of the city.

The aristocracy that ruled the city did not specifically designate commercial districts, but people still planned several commercial districts on their own in the course of long-term development. Baron Willow's party, who entered Avaklin, is currently moving in one of the business districts.

Because there was no one who did not recognize the coat of arms of the nobility, the bustling commercial district would automatically give way when the baron passed.

"I've heard for a long time that Awaklin is a city without magic, and when I see it today, it really lives up to its name. ”

Sitting in the carriage that passed around the block, Thian sighed.

"To be able to quickly return to such prosperity after the magic disappears, no, I guess I don't have to be affected by the magic disappearing at all. ”

Cisse was obviously a little surprised, after all, they both knew very well how much effort Count Fernans had put into getting the people in his realm back to their old ways.

In the bustling crowds, the bosses try to solicit customers with their imposing cries, the elderly women haggle with the merchants, and the young couples, attracted by the aroma of barbecue, are buying juicy kebabs, and although they make way for the rulers who are about to pass through, their rhythm of life is not disrupted.

"It's completely different from my father's. ”

"That's natural, young master, the results of different governance methods will naturally be different. ”

"Also, Baron Willos doesn't demand as much from his people as his father, and if it were his father, those ordinary people would probably be executed if they continued their lives like this when the nobles were in pass. ”

"Hahaha, indeed. ”

Cisse could imagine what kind of punishment the Count of Fernans would inflict on his people, after all, his master was a man who valued the face of the nobility.

In this atmosphere, the procession of horse-drawn carriages passed through the lively neighborhood and arrived at its destination, which is also the administrative area of another important area of the city. There were also warehouses for the storage of military rations, which would be enough to sustain the city for a month if it were surrounded by enemy troops, and of course, such an important place would naturally have to be heavily protected.

Baron Willow was greeted by a smiling man, who was dressed like the mayor of the city.

The conversation that follows certainly proves this.

Baron Willow stepped out of the carriage, and the man immediately stepped forward like a pug and nodded.

"The villain Veroni has been waiting for the Baron for a long time. ”

"Excuse me, Mr. Mayor. Baron Willow waved.

"Master Xie. ”

The man in his mid-middle straightened up after Baron Willow agreed to be excused.

"Who's in the back?"

After seeing Tian as he stepped out of the carriage, a puzzled look appeared on the mayor's face, apparently he didn't know that there would be an important person other than the baron.

"That is our ally, Master Tien Fenance, who will assist us in dealing with the dragon threat. ”

"What!?, my lord, I never heard of such a person coming. ”

"Because Count Fernans has made too many enemies, for the safety of his son, I have made such a secret measure. ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, when the baron said such words, Thian saw a look of contempt in the mayor's eyes.

But what happened next proved that it was not a delusion.

"Lord Baron, you've done something superfluous. ”

"Huh?"

Mayor Veroni's sudden change of tone made all the nobles present frown.

Cisse, who was the first to realize that something was wrong, grabbed Tian's hand and pushed him back into the carriage with a heavy blow.

The rest of the nobles, including Baron Willow's, also finally reacted to what was happening, but it was too late, everything was too late.

Mutiny?

Mutiny!

Countless musketeers sprang up in various parts of the administrative center, aiming their guns at the nobles who had once ruled them.

"You-"

Baron Willow seemed to want to say something, but Veroni didn't give him that opportunity, and the words became his last words.

"Do it!"

The order issued by the mayor of Veroni caused the administrative center to turn into a sea of blood in an instant.

Both the nobles and the servants were reduced to pulp under the gunfire.

"Hmph, it's really a pretentious nobleman, but I didn't expect that guy to bring the young master of Count Fernans's family, it seems that the battle with Count Fernans is about to start immediately. ”

Veroni kicked Baron Willow, who had lost his life, hard, "It's really going to be troublesome. ”

"But," a grim smile appeared on the mayor's face.

"It doesn't get in the way of my plans. ”

It's just that one shot does not kill all the targets present.

"Do you say, the dragon's, the things, are all deceitful?" came the staccato words from the corpses of the fallen nobles.

"Huh, there are survivors?"

Veroni's gaze turned to the source of the sound and caught an old man covered in blood.

"I'm sure you're the butler of Master Fernans, right?"

"So, are you, using a dragon, to trick the baron into coming, to kill him? Actually, not at all, what, the dragon is resurrected, right?"

A large amount of blood poured out of Cisse's mouth, and it was clear that he would not live long.

"No, the dragon will recover, and I, with the help of the dragon's power, will become the overlord of the world. ”

Veroni proudly paints a picture of his imaginary future.

"You're dying anyway, so I'll satisfy your curiosity, I didn't inform the Baron of the dragon's resurgence, I just used this opportunity to mutiny, and I've gained the means to control the dragon, and when it recovers, it's when I become the world's hegemon, and you're just a stepping stone for me." ”

"Ha, what a stupid guy, actually, vainly, trying to control the dragon, that is an existence that once had divine power, and humans have never been able to control it, do you think, without magic, now, you, can you, cough cough, still be able to control it?"

Another mouthful of blood, spurting out of Cisse's mouth.

"What do you know!?"

The mayor kicked Cisse in the face.

"Your so-called God is nothing but an imperfect being. ”

After a series of kicks, Cisse couldn't move.

"And me!"

Cice, mortally wounded, was simply powerless to fight back.

"And I! have attained perfect power! a power that even gods have to obey! Not to mention a dragon?"

"Haha, I, phew," another mouthful of blood spurted out of Cisse's mouth. "I will, turn into a ghost, and look at you, perish!"

"As a mortal, you are still trying to reach it, that kind of power, your demise, is already doomed!"

"Shut up!"

Veroni kicked Cisse hard again.

However, the blow did not hit as he expected.

Cisse is worthy of being an excellent martial artist, he saw the mayor of Veroni who kicked him with all his strength, grabbed the leg that was about to hit his stomach, and used the power of his leg to stimulate the power that he could not have sent out as he gradually lost his strength.

"What!?" The stunned Veroni didn't have time to react before he was knocked to the ground by the powerful force from his legs.

"Click. The crisp sound of bones breaking reached the ears of Mayor Veroni.

Then, a sharp pain hit Veroni's consciousness, almost causing him to faint.

The mayor's men hurriedly stepped forward and separated the two.

"Oh my right leg!" the voice that broke through the sky expressed Veroni's anger, and now that he lacked magic, it was undoubtedly a serious injury that would not be able to recover.

The mayor took his anger out on the people who caused this fact.

"Shoot him! Shoot me so much that even his mother doesn't recognize him!"

Following that order, Cisse's body was shot into a hornet's nest. Luckily, when Veroni's leg was broken, Cisse was already out of breath.

"Phew, this damn guy, guys, check on me, if there are any survivors, no, no need to check, just make up for each corpse, don't let anyone live. ”

The order's subordinates began to act, and sporadic gunfire continued to ring, and the nobles who had been shot and fell before were still alive, but they died after that.

It's just that there is still one missing among them.

"Report to the Mayor,"

"Don't call me mayor anymore! I'm no longer mayor, I'm the king of Avaklin!"

"Yes, report to your Excellency. ”

"Say it. ”

Veroni's somewhat irritated tone made the reporting soldier feel a little flustered, and he began to stumble.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Yes," the soldier finally said. "The young master of the Count of Fernans, who was pushed into the carriage by the butler before he was shot,"

Hearing this, Veroni felt a little unpleasant.

Don't say it, he cried out in his heart, but things didn't go his way.

"Searched everywhere and couldn't find him or his body, not in the carriage, not in the nobleman's body, he, gone. ”

The soldier who finished the report received a heavy punch in the stomach, which was the anger of his superiors.

"Bastard thing!"

Anger caused a sharp pain in his leg again.

"Ahh

Veroni let out a scream.

"Your Excellency, are you alright?" the adjutant on the side stepped forward and asked.

"Don't worry about me! If you have time to care about me, you might as well go and search, I don't know if it's more important to catch that noble young master now?"

"Yes, yes, yes. The reprimanded adjutant nodded in a panic and stepped back, and began to assign his subordinates the task of searching for Tian.
