Chapter 535: Second Night

Perhaps most of the nobles spend their days idle, but Abadan is a military city, and in addition to government affairs, there are also military affairs that need to be dealt with every day. Therefore, the nobles who held official positions in the city, especially those with military status, were quite disciplined and arrived at the place of office at the same time.

Then after everyone met, they found a similar situation, and everyone's faces were not very good-looking.

If it is usual, it is indispensable to ridicule a few words and laugh at whether the other party has been tossing in the mistress's bed all night. But this time, no one has the spirit to say such.

However, being targeted is not something worth publicizing everywhere. Even if it is not the work of the political enemies around him, there is still no conclusion, and who dares to show his mouth easily.

What should be done now is to intensify the investigation of all possibilities and find out who the enemy is hiding in the shadows.

Although the curse that was used to warn people is written in the text, it is about the airship Sid. But few people believe that the goblins or barbarians associated with the Sid could do such a thing. Nine times out of ten, it is a pretext used by political opponents to mislead people. And the reason why I brought up this incident was probably to use that terror weapon with an unknown whereabouts to attract the attention of others.

Even so, the nobles sought out a familiar magician to carefully examine the curse's writing. You know, the biggest difference between a curse and ordinary magic is that the strength of the curse depends on the will of the person who issued the curse. Conventional magical methods are only used to enhance the effectiveness of curses. Ordinary people who have a bitter hatred may also erupt into a curse that the great mage also feels tricky. That's why there are so many cursed and incomprehensible 'strange things' in the lost land.

Fortunately, in the middle of the night, the words left by unknown people have no power in them, and they are on the same level as people scolding the street.

With the exception of those who had gathered for the purpose of government affairs, the aristocratic banquet scheduled for the day was held as scheduled, and all those who received the invitations also attended as usual. But the atmosphere at the banquet was different from usual, and the oppressive atmosphere was everywhere from top to bottom.

From the waiters shuttling through the crowd to the banquet hosts who should be the center of attention, today, they all look at the people around them with sharp or frightened eyes.

The nobles were on pins and needles, and their men were not much easier. A group of people made an open investigation and secret visit, and made the city of Abadan jump. They even tried to find the Thieves' Guild to get the news, but unfortunately those who had the ability to do it were missing, and the rest of the minions were busy grabbing territory, and they couldn't be used at all.

In this way, the crowd spent the first day like flies without heads. Before going to sleep, not only did the number of guards be strengthened. There are even those who are afraid of death, and their subordinates are required to stand in a circle by the bed. I just hope I can get a good night's sleep tonight.

But how can such an extravagant hope be easily realized.

The same cacophony as yesterday, the same warning text, and even signs of escalation. This is actually a simpler and more threatening approach that Lin, Fen and Chikiri discussed after the first day's experience. It's like a pre-made hand model, with a bucket of red ink, and then scribbling in someone else's room.

And those who set up a human wall next to the bed, directly ask the lich to take action and brute-force the other party's means.

The method is also very simple, that is, first hide the appearance, flash the past, and imprison it forever, and then in front of everyone, pull out all the weapons of the guards, and use them to nail the curse text to the wall. Those who are imprisoned stand in this way until dawn, until they are hysterically kicked and insulted by the mad nobles, and then they can recover their mobility from their state of stiffness.

The second day was as turbulent as the first. Even in a precautionary situation, he still couldn't stop the Assassin's greetings, and the next day he would no longer just nail paper, but directly ask for his life. Such a silent threat, how can the aristocratic lords accept it.

Almost all of the people who could be sent out to find out the news were dispatched. And the aristocratic lords no longer have the energy to pretend to be nothing. Almost everyone chose to stay closed, and even the scheduled banquet was canceled. The upper class of the city of Abadan is like it has come to a standstill. It affects the whole city, and it is full of tension that is about to rain.

Since the people above have given the order to die, the people who do things below will inevitably show their deeds carelessly. When others find out that someone else is investigating something similar, they are of course cautious about approaching them.

As soon as they met, they found out that they were all old acquaintances. When I asked again, everyone felt bad. It seems that in the city of Abadan, both the big and small nobles have received the same threat.

The biggest reason why the numerical advantage can be relied on is that the opponent cannot easily deal with such a large number of enemies, so he can only choose to retreat or surrender. But if the numerical advantage is not there, and it is so threatened, then it is necessary to inform the respective masters, and the right thing to do.

At first, everyone took such a threat as a very bad joke. What the nobles want is to find each other and then give each other a punishment that ordinary people can't imagine. Even if you can't do it yourself, there are always more powerful nobles in Abadan City who can do it.

But when everyone is targeted at the same time, and their lives are actually threatened, the nature of the matter is completely different. Because this means that the person who is hiding in the shadows can clean up all the people in the city of Abadan in one go.

If you are safe, you must say something about the same enemy and make others feel that they are on the same side as them. Ideally, after others have suffered losses, they can pick up the bargain. But when you are already precarious, no one can maintain the same calmness.

Even General Javed Poole, the top administrator of Abadan City. Having the power to command the Tenth Legion also didn't give him much security.

In the midst of the layers of vigilance, all the nobles gathered in the city lord's mansion to discuss the predicament in front of them. Even if it's late, no one wants to go back; Even if I do go back, I'm afraid no one will be able to sleep. When everyone gathered the curse paper that had been left behind and saw that it was actually the same thing, everyone couldn't help but wonder if this was really the reason why everyone was angry with the other.

"Sid." I don't know whose long sigh made the nobles look at Viscount Nia who was accompanying the last seat.

The origin of related things is not unclear to everyone. It was his second son who found trouble with a group of barbarians, and then was put on a hard beating. However, the power displayed by the sword was so disgusting that it was then missing, so the group agreed to force the original owner to come forward.

Regardless of whether the sword is in the opponent's hand or not, first determine what the source of that disgusting ability is, and then try to prevent or avoid it. Ideally, you would have to take that weapon into your own hands.

As for the rumored sword to be a box cut, a legendary weapon, this was automatically ignored by all the nobles. Although crate cuts are scarce, every empire also has a collection of one or two. It is not wrong to choose the master, and even the nobles who understand the essence of the box cut are unwilling to have such a legendary weapon. But I've never heard that the box cut can speak, and it must be a kind of magic effect that other people don't know. That's why I have to find out from the original holder.

But where the barbarians went, no one knows. The only clue is the goblin who once operated in the city of Abadan, the owner of the airship, Totokani. According to the airport's administrator, the goblin did not fly his original airship, the Hindenburg, but with another strange but unusually slow airship, the Sid.

Then if you want to find this group, you can only start with the airship. And the method is just a few tricks, restricting the other party from the ground, prohibiting the other party from trading and supplying, and the third is to arrest the ship. However, in the matter of arresting the ship, you have to find a convincing reason, and you can't just do it if you want to.

Aristocrats. I only know that I am doing it, and I am all stunned young people who specialize in causing trouble. If you have a little ability, who wouldn't get a fig leaf for yourself first to cover up your true intentions. If you have a few more days to schedule, you can also find a reason to arrest the ship. But before that, cut off the possibility of the other party's supply and maintenance, so that they can't leave.

In fact, the governors of the city of Abadan did not say anything about what could or could not be done, they only acquiesced in such behavior. Naturally, the executor has someone else do it for him.

Unexpectedly, he nodded silently and caused himself a big trouble. To say that General Javid Poole has no resentment in his heart would be a lie. The people below are not doing things well, and they are out of control, and they have to come forward to deal with the aftermath, is there a chief in the empire who is more troublesome than him.

Ignoring the words of the crowd, not a word of pity for Viscount Nia, General Javed Poole said, "Viscount, Viscount Nia! - "I knocked on the table to stop the others from talking," and "in short, it was your son who caused the trouble. Give me a way to settle it. Just give you two days, two days, hear clearly. If you can't clean up the people who made it all, I'll clean you up! Got it! ”

The general looked to the other side, and the people sitting and standing there were non-commissioned officers. At the bottom of the first row was Barry Niah, the eldest son of the viscount, a young man who had been very optimistic about himself.

But with the involvement of his younger brother, Aka Nia, Barry Nia not only buried the warriors of the Empire, but also killed another knight he also admired, Falzad, who was expected to storm the transcendent realm.

So today's ultimatum is not only for his father, but also for this promising young man. He has to do something to give himself a reason to regain his faith in him.

It's just that at this time, there was a timid nobleman who asked weakly, "Give them two days?" So, my lord, what are we going to do tonight? ”

Javed Poole had a headache when he was asked. No one dares to guarantee that the other party will not come tonight; Or you can find a way to defend in time and get a good night's sleep. If all this is not resolved, then you will have to endure the 'warm' greeting of the other person for another night. What if the other person has a brain pump and doesn't want to spend another night? What if you just slaughter someone who is asleep?

Thinking of this, he shuddered, and Javed Poole said directly: "I'm going to inspect the barracks tonight. The first brigade was ready and understood. ”

"Yes, sir."

All the nobles wailed and begged to follow. It's as if that smelly, dirty place is a paradise in reality.
