575 A Storm in the Making

"Hey, did you hear that?"

"Last night, there was a fire in the main hall of the city."

"Last night? Wasn't it this morning? ”

"Before dawn, to be exact."

"Isn't it? Is this news true? ”

"Won't you go and see it? The main hall of the city has been reduced to ruins! ”

"I watched! It's in ruins! ”

"It's not...... Don't you think that's ridiculous? ”

"Yes, what kind of fire has a way to burn the City Lord's Pavilion to ruins?"

"It's the City Lord's Pavilion there, there are so many Oasis Knights, so many magicians, and even the City Lord himself, how could he let a fire burn down the City Lord's Pavilion?"

"I heard this is a problem with the Ministry of Magic, right?"

"Ministry of Magic? Could it be that those magicians were studying something strange and causing the entire city hall to be burned? ”

"It's not surprising that those guys have a criminal record, and didn't they accidentally blow up one of the research facilities of the Ministry of Magic in the past just to study magic bullets?"

"But this time it's the entire city main hall......"

"I still can't believe it's true......

"That's right......"

In the early morning of Sinyerery, a lot of talk like this appeared in the streets and spread at great speed.

The city lord's hall was reduced to ruins and burned to the ground, and such news could not be hidden at all, and quickly reached the ears of every resident of Sinyele.

Some of the residents didn't want to believe all this, some were skeptical, and some even went directly to the city lord's hall until they saw the charred ruins, and they didn't believe that all this was true.

All of a sudden, all kinds of rumors came and went, causing a lot of turmoil in Sinyele.

Someone is keenly aware of the problem here.

"The City Lord's Pavilion was really burned?"

"Impossible, with that person here, no matter how big an accident happens, it will be suppressed, and it is impossible for the entire City Lord Hall to be burned to ruins, right?"

"But this thing did happen, and the city lord's hall that was reduced to ruins is located there, and it hasn't had time to clean it up yet."

“…… There's definitely something going on here that we don't know about. ”

"No, we have to send someone to check."

As a result, all sorts of characters began to pop up.

Some of them were lawless people who were restricted by the City Lord's Pavilion and had difficulty moving, and some were high-level leaders of the major forces, who were shocked and inconceivable that the City Lord's Pavilion had fallen to such a state, and then sent people to investigate, intending to find out what happened here.

No one believed that the castle lord would be burned down due to an accidental fire.

With that city lord here, no matter how big the accident is, it can't make any waves.

Since this happened, it proves that there must have been some major incident here, causing the city lord to be unable to deal with it, so he could only let the city lord's pavilion turn into a sea of fire.

It is naturally impossible for many well-intentioned people who are aware of this to suppress the confusion and curiosity in their hearts, so they invariably choose to send people to investigate the truth and try to know everything that happened last night.

However, when these well-intentioned people took action, they found that the incident that happened in the City Lord Pavilion last night had actually been sealed.

All those who remained in the castle lord's pavilion before dawn, whether knights, magicians, combatants, or technicians, were all unified and were not allowed to give out the slightest hint of detail.

In other words, the message is blocked.

Moreover, it is still blocked in the form of the highest level of secret.

If someone ignores the gag order and tells what happened in the city lord's hall yesterday, it is basically equivalent to leaking the city's secrets, and will be punished with the same crime as treason.

Therefore, the people who were sent to find out the news eventually returned in vain, but on the contrary, it aroused the suspicion of all those who had a heart.

"What the hell is going on?"

This is the thing that everyone who cares about the City Lord Pavilion cares about the most.

It's a pity that they obviously can't solve this puzzle and get the answer they want.

Today, Sinyele spends his time in all sorts of upheavals, either superficially or in the dark.

The whole Sinyele became an undercurrent and gradually fell into chaos.

…………

Sinyeler, Knights' Division.

It was a branch of the knights' department located east of Sinyele, closest to the main hall of the city.

In the past, the main role here was to keep the knights sent by the City Lord's Pavilion, and these remaining knights were responsible for the security of the entire eastern side of Sinyer, which was equivalent to a small sub-bureau of the Castle Lord's Pavilion's armed forces.

But today, it was requisitioned and became the temporary residence of the lord of the castle.

"Bang!"

In a luxurious room, a vase was smashed severely.

The wounds on his body had obviously been treated, and Sgranto, who was no longer in serious trouble, stood in the center of the room, his face hideous.

"Rieg Brihaut......!"

Sgranto held the Amber Blade and slashed down with a sword as he roared.

"Boom!"

The sword light flashed by, shattering the floor, shattering many pieces of furniture, and shattering a wall at the end of the sword light, blasting it into smithereens.

It is naturally impossible for such a violent movement not to be noticed.

But the people in this branch could only stand in place and tremble, and did not dare to touch the muzzle of the city lord's gun.

"Damn!"

"Hateful!"

"Damn!"

"Hateful!"

Sgranto vented his anger and continued to destroy the contents of the room, even the room itself, so that the beautiful room was quickly demolished.

"Whew...... Whoop......"

It didn't take long for Sgranto to stop and gasp violently.

Of course, the anger in his chest had not subsided, and his eyes were bloodshot, as dangerous as a beast that had chosen to devour people.

"Since becoming a Sword Saint and becoming the city lord of this Xinyele, it is the first time that I have suffered such a loss, and I have been so embarrassed by others."

"Rieg Brihaut ......"

"You're good! Very good! ”

"If you don't take revenge, I will never give up!"

The anger in Sgranto's chest had completely turned into an abomination, and the more it burned, the more fierce it became.

Just when Sgranto was still angry and couldn't help but want to swing the Amber Blade in his hand again, a voice sounded behind him.

"I think it's better to calm down."

It's a very cold sound.

The voice was as cold as frost, and it could no longer be described as cold or cold, but bordered on emotionless.

Hearing this, Sgranto stopped what he was doing, slowly turned his head, and looked behind him.

I saw that in the corner of the dilapidated room, I don't know when, a person actually appeared.

It was a girl in the shadows, unable to see the whole picture, but exuding a chill.

The girl did not step out of this shadow, leaning against the wall, holding her hands, with a weapon hanging from her waist, which at first glance seemed to have a low sense of existence, but in fact exuded a deadly temptation and attraction all the time.

Judging from the other party's voice and figure, she is probably the same age as her appearance, she is in the mood for love, and her age is definitely not big.

But such a young girl, in the face of the fierce gaze of a veteran sword saint who chose people and devoured people, actually didn't even waver at all.

"How?" The girl said expressionlessly, "Do you still want to do it to me?" ”

Sgranto didn't answer the question, but looked at the girl coldly.

"What are you doing here?" Sgranto's attitude was much worse than usual, and he said very gloomily: "Did you come to see my joke?" ”

"I don't have that interest." The girl said lightly: "I just came to talk to you about the last time, and the result is ......"

As a result, he learned about the castle lord's hall, and after infiltrating here, he knew the general situation, and understood what happened to Sgranto.

"Frankly, I was surprised." The girl said, "Rig Brihaut, this man who broke my record and became the youngest sword saint in the Akaxia continent can even defeat you, I am afraid that even the Heavenly Hunt can't even think of it, right?" ”

Hearing this, green tendons appeared on Sgranto's forehead, and his fists were clenched tightly.

“…… There will be no next time. Sgrantto roared, "This kind of thing...... Definitely not going to happen a second time! ”

"Next time, I'll kill him."

"Kill him!"

Sgranto's low roar was only exchanged for the girl's pity.

"I heard he defeated you in a state where magical power was blocked, right?" The girl said mercilessly: "If his magic power is not blocked, in a state of full strength, can you really kill him?" ”

"I can!"

Sgranto jerked towards the girl, cryically.

In response, the girl's eyes at Sgranto not only became pity, but also contempt.

"I can't even accept reality, is this the city lord of Sinyer?" The girl said unceremoniously, "I'm beginning to wonder if cooperating with someone like you is the right decision." ”

"Are you here to provoke me?" Sgranto exuded a fierce aura, stared at the girl deadly, and said, "Don't think that I really don't dare to do anything to you. ”

"I don't really care if I dare or not." The girl was not afraid, and even said very indifferently: "If you want to fight, I will accompany you at any time." ”

The girl held down the weapon at her waist.

Sgranto glanced at the weapon with some fear, then took a few deep breaths to force himself to calm down.

"I agreed to the cooperation you proposed."

Sglunto said something like this.

"Finally agreed?" The girl raised her eyebrows and said with a sneer: "Didn't you always resist me mentioning this matter to you before, and ran into the so-called taboo in your mouth?" ”

“…… That kind of thing, it doesn't matter anymore. Sgrantto clenched his fists and whispered, "Now, I just want to kill that guy." ”

"To that end, I'm going to get the thing in the ruins."

Hearing this, the girl's eyes narrowed slightly.

But she didn't say anything, turned and left.

"When you're healed, we'll go."

Leaving such a sentence, the girl disappeared.

Sgranto's eyes were red as he stared at the other man's vanishing back.

"Wait......"

"We'll meet again soon......"

In the dilapidated room, the voice of a ghostly moan could not stop ringing, making the air cold.
