"This is a disgrace to the Empire!"

The title page of the newspaper reads this sentence in bold large letters, according to reports, there was a riot in the city of Jiangcheng in Norwich Province, because of heavy taxes and many other reasons, the empire would have several riots every year, except for the troglodyte reservation in the Shuta Wasteland, the scale of the so-called riots that occurred outside the Iron Curtain was usually only a few dozen people, and there was no precedent for riots on the scale of a city.

As the Empire used to do, the army was dispatched, and then the riots were suppressed, the leaders were found, and the executions were executed. But this time there were some deviations, only the first step was completed, Norwich's regular guards lost contact after entering Jiangcheng, Valhalla did its best, two hundred and eighty-three special agents poured out, but they were ambushed outside the city, and the mob used the explosives to blow up the teleportation array that was still in operation, although no one died, but one hundred and seven people were slightly injured, and twenty-five were seriously injured, which is undoubtedly a shame for Valhalla, but also a shame for the empire, and the country's most powerful spellcasters were actually caught off guard by those mobs.

The news of Jiangcheng soon spread everywhere, there were students and teachers everywhere in the academy discussing this matter, seeing the newspaper Yang Yang wrote two pages full of incident reports, Xinghe had mixed feelings in his heart, Jiangcheng was almost a hometown for a few of them, they had left a lot of memories there, Ling died, and now the city that kept their memories was almost gone, and the newspaper said that the regular army of the empire was pulling out and preparing to level Jiangcheng.

Because of the matter in Jiangcheng, a few people at the library table rarely talked a lot, Anton looked at the newspaper and shouted in a low voice, "This is not fair, why do you have to set foot in Jiangcheng!"

No one talked, Chonggo was practicing the pronunciation of magic with Ren Tianqi, Lan Yue was looking at the candle in a daze, and when Anton shouted, she raised her head, but soon lowered it again, Xiaoxin and Xiaorou glanced at each other, it seemed that they wanted to say something, and the only response to Anton was probably the snoring of Rong Ruo and Pixar, the two of them didn't like to stay in the library.

Because of a good foundation, Rong Ruo quickly learned all the basic magic texts, but she still couldn't complete the spell casting through spells, about this matter, Ye Zhiqiu suggested that she and Pixar try to chant spells together, but it is almost an impossible task to let Pixar learn the pronunciation of magic scripts.

As Rong Ruo and Pixar's snoring became louder and louder, and the eyes of other people in the library had been attracted a lot, Ren Tianqi got up a little embarrassed to apologize to everyone, and then woke her up, Rong Ruo wiped the saliva on her face in a daze, and pulled away a few hairs stuck to her cheeks because of the saliva, "What's wrong?"

Ren Tianqi looked at her with some embarrassment, "Senior sister... You're purring slightly... Some are big. ”

Rong Ruo glanced at the other students in the library, her little face was red, she was very ashamed, and quietly stepped on Ren Tianqi's foot, but she knew that she was at a loss, and her movements were not very big, even though Ren Tianqi still showed an exaggerated expression very cooperatively, holding her feet, as if it was really painful.

Xiaoxin and Xiaorou couldn't help laughing when they watched Ren Tianqi's exaggerated performance, but the four of Xinghe with a straight face were really a little too disappointing, and Ren Tianqi put down his feet as he watched them.

Just when everyone was silent, Chongwu, who was sitting next to Ren Tianqi, put down the magic textbook in his hand and asked in a low voice, "Will there be anything wrong with Balbo and Ling's tomb?"

Xinghe lifted his head from the newspaper, Anton clenched his fists, and Lanyue accidentally knocked down the candle in front of him, "Where is the grave of Ling and Mr. Balbo?" Xinghe asked pretending to be calm.

"Outside the city, near Mr. Balbo's house. ”

Xinghe let go of the crumpled newspaper, "In that case, I probably won't be able to hit there." ”

Xinghe doesn't know who he is comforting, maybe it's just that he needs a hope, a very slim hope, if the army really goes to level Jiangcheng, many things can't stay, although the cemetery outside the city should be very safe, but once Jiangcheng becomes a battlefield, what can be guaranteed?

He was just a child, even if Ye Zhiqiu had said that he was very talented in magic, and he would definitely achieve great achievements in time, but that was not now, now he could only powerlessly watch the city where they once lived become a battlefield.

Because of helplessness and fear, the atmosphere between Xinghe and them is much more gloomy than before, and emotions are contagious, Rong Ruo finally couldn't stand the solemn air between them that can crush people, and left with Pixar early after school.

On the way home, Xiaorou discussed with Xiaoxin how those cute furballs in Jin Keshi were cultivated, but Xiaoxin kept paying attention to the four Xinghe who exuded a gloomy atmosphere with her afterglow, and answered without a word. Finally, Xiaorou broke out, Xinghe's performance these days has probably made her angry, she shouted at Xinghe and them, "Are you doing enough like this, do you have to act like the whole world owes you?"

"Xiaorou. Xiaoxin pulled her shoulder, Xiaorou also reflected that her emotions were a little too excited, and slowed down her tone, "I know you are sad, but you have been depressed for a long time, and no matter how depressed you are, you can't change anything!"

"Xiaorou, don't say it. Xiaoxin looked at Xinghe and them with some concern, but Xiaorou didn't plan to just leave it at that, "No, sister, I want to say, I want to make everything clear today, I don't want to see their stinky faces every day!"

Xiaorou said as she spoke, getting excited, and Xinghe saw tears in her eyes, "Of course you will be sad when your friend dies, don't say whose fault it is." You're good friends, aren't you? No one really wants that girl named Ling to die, right?" she turned to Ranyue, "Don't say anymore that you don't deserve to be happy, you've become unhappy, and if you're depressed all day, Ling will be happy and come back to life?"

Xiaorou blushed her eyes and covered her chest, "When I knew that my mother died in childbirth, I hated myself and my sister, because if it weren't for us, my mother wouldn't have died, and my father wouldn't be alone by now." But ah, no matter how much I hate myself and punish myself, Mom will never come back to life, and Dad will only be more sad. If I can't live well, then won't my life that my mother exchanged for my life be in vain, then won't my mother's death be meaningless? So, are you really Ling's friends? Are you really worthy of her like this, have you really thought about Ling? If you really care about Ling, you should live well with her!"

Xiaorou ran away with red eyes, and Xiaoxin's eyes were also a little red, "I'm sorry, Xiaorou was too excited." "After they apologized to Xinghe, she went to chase Xiaorou, but she should apologize, is it really her?

Is it worthy of Ling to do this? Xinghe didn't think about it that way, he thought that Lanyue didn't think about it either, but now that he thinks about it, I'm afraid that they become like this not only for Ling who died, but also for many people, Aunt Ye, father, Walit, those who sacrificed their lives in Khiva Town, their lives were bought at a great price, why didn't they live well?

Xinghe hesitated and walked back to the Ye family's mansion, and when he passed by the living room, he heard Ye Zhiqiu's roar coming out of it, and his first reaction was that Ye Zhiqiu was talking to Xiaorou, and he was about to push the door in to explain that it was not her who was wrong in the incident just now.

But when he approached the door of the living room, he heard another familiar and somewhat old voice, "Ye Zhiqiu, you don't have a choice in this matter, Sneve indicated that he wanted to meet those children." ”

"They're just kids, you're pushing them into the fire pit!"

"I know, I'm going to have José follow them, and I'm going to shoot Sneef as soon as he shows up. ”

"You're joking with their safety, I don't agree, I'll go find Kong El. ”

Footsteps sounded in the living room, and the four Xinghe people who were standing at the door and eavesdropping before they could react saw Ye Zhiqiu open the door of the living room, and he didn't expect to see them, and looked at Xinghe in astonishment.

Dan Merson, who walked behind him, greeted them, "Xinghe, meet again." ”

Ye Zhiqiu's face was gloomy, watching Dan Mosheng lead Xinghe and them into the living room, and then closed the door, Dan Mosheng patted Ye Zhiqiu's shoulder when he walked back, "The situation is like this, and we can't do anything about it." ”

Ye Zhiqiu responded coldly, "Would you be willing to watch your own daughter get into such a risk?"

Danmerson sighed and turned to face the Xinghe people who were still in the dark, "Children, do you know a Moro man named Sniff?"

The Moro people that Xinghe knew were only met by Sage on the way to the capital, and as for a Moro man named Snef, he didn't know at all, he thought that Arazuki and them were the same, but he saw Shigego's expression a little weird.

"What, do you know anything?" Dan Mosheng asked, and Ye Zhiqiu also looked at him.

"On the ship to the capital, I had a dream about a Moro man named Sneef, One-Eyed. ”

Ye Zhiqiu and Dan Mosheng glanced at each other and asked, "What kind of dream is it?"

Xinghe Anton and Lan Yue both looked at Chongwu in unison, he had never mentioned this matter, but when he thought of the recent events, he was relieved, after Chongwu came to the capital, several of them had a stiffen, so naturally they would not know.

Listening to Chongwu finish a dream about that strange man, Xinghe raised his head, looked at Ye Zhiqiu and Dan Mosheng who were deep in thought, and asked, "Who is Sniff?"

Dan Mosheng glanced up at Ye Zhiqiu and began to explain to Xinghe, "He is a Moro person, just like that friend of yours, he is also a survivor of the 'original sin', he launched a riot in Jiangcheng, and then made a condition to the empire to see a few of you, we can't refuse." ”

"Didn't the newspaper say that an army would be sent into Jiangcheng soon, why did you still listen to his conditions?" Xinghe asked.

The expression on Dan Merson's face was a little bitter, "The army has stopped moving, and a new case of 'original sin' infection appeared in the capital this morning, although I don't know how Sneef did it, but the empire does not dare to risk the possibility of 'original sin' breaking out in the capital." So I want you to be able to meet Sneve and Jose will be with you, and once Sneve shows up, we'll catch him. ”

Ye Zhiqiu frowned and said to Xinghe, "Xinghe, this matter has nothing to do with you, you can refuse." ”

Xinghe didn't answer immediately, he turned his head to look at Lan Yue and the others sitting next to him, they didn't have much expression, "If you catch Sniff, then won't the army have to set foot in Jiangcheng?"

Dan Mosheng was stunned, as if he didn't expect Xinghe to ask such a question, but he still nodded affirmatively.

"Then let's go. Xinghe replied, though he added, "But we definitely don't take risks for the sake of the Empire. ”
