The people at the bottom didn't know much about how sinister the upper echelons were, but they could feel that the atmosphere in this place was getting more and more wrong. So those who still had the ability to run away went to the countryside in various places, and went into the village bunkers one by one, and huddled in them, waiting for the situation to become clear—at least until the new king ascended the throne.

But many citizens couldn't escape, so they had to wait in fear in the city. However, there seems to be nothing abnormal at the moment, as the Black Bull Heavy Knights of the Grand Prince's Party are stationed in the original camp and there is no response, and the Moby Dick Knights are still strictly neutral, but the daily patrol of the naval fleet along the coastline has become more frequent. It seems that this will continue until the new king decides to come out.

Zhou Zhongmou's current situation made him have to find a stone manor outside the city to live temporarily - the growth of black bristles on his body and the strange itch in his bones have once again entered a high incidence period, in order not to worry others, and at the same time he has a little money, so he announced to those who care about him that he suddenly wants to come to the countryside recently, and then politely declined Rezenov's invitation to go to the manor, and rented a stone house to hide in it.

"This black bristle is getting longer and longer now," Zhou Zhongmou twisted a thick and long black hair in his fingers, "It always feels very similar to animal hair, but I can't tell if it's a wolf or a bear." I really don't understand, can this kind of mutation occur after the earthling's body is impregnated with magic? It's a pity that there is no second specimen" This guy is having fun, using scientific analysis to distract himself, and trying to forget about the abnormality in his body as much as possible.

The mutation is slow but unstoppable, as bristles grow. Zhou Zhongmou checked himself every day, and found that his body and face were changing-"But this is irregular! Today, the nose has grown by a centimeter. But tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be restored. Yesterday's teeth turned into fangs, and today they become canine teeth again, you can give me a complete change!" This kind of trouble also made him completely unaware of the change in the situation, although some major changes could still be made through the newspapers in the city of Guò - a tabloid has appeared in this world, although it is mainly a simple tabloid published by the Chamber of Commerce and mainly advertisements, and Zhou Zhongmou can get a little insight into the form of the kingdom through the newspaper.

The latest news has been a glorious victory, and under the wise leadership of Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Little Prince, some of the newborn heroes have led their armies to defeat the invading Transylvanian Empire again and again, and the brightest star is the Count of Tyre, who has established his own territory in the secret realm. Before that. He was only the son of a country manor, and even now he was only eighteen years old. Such a young hero is very suitable for the heroic historical view of this world, and of course his name has been sung everywhere. Based on the current figures in the newspapers, Zhou Zhongmou calculated that at least he had wiped out more than 100,000 undead legions of the imperial army and more than a dozen dead lords - "Under normal circumstances, the Transylvanian Empire has perished" is Zhou Zhongmou's comment, of course, how many lost territories recovered in the newspapers are also very colorful, and the recovery of each piece of territory is a carnival - but in the same way, the newspapers claim that the recovered territories have been compared with "how many enemies have been killed in heroic battles" Such a report is a comparison. Zhou Zhongmou also found that there had been many battles in the claimed lands.

"According to the newspapers, it is not time to have occupied a large part of the territory of the Transylvanian Empire. Zhou Zhongmou smiled. Scratching his body fiercely, he said. "I remember seeing quite a few of these things. What is it? Oh, by the way, the base camp war report!" Of course, the newspapers did not mention the situation in the north, and it was usually written in the north in passing.

Putting down the newspaper that was full of praise for the wisdom of the prince and princess, and the brave and good fighting of the new nobles, Zhou Zhongmou once again focused on himself.

And just like that, about two months passed. It was at this time that the North and the South finally decided to convene a council of nobles in the capital to decide on the throne - a great rebellion in the past, but who told the kings of the previous generation to be unlucky enough to drag on their hospital beds for too long?

What will happen to the meeting, Zhou Zhongmou can roughly guess, anyway, this situation has been written a lot in the history books on the earth, and the biggest possibility is split. However, this world, this kingdom has so-called bloodline weapons, and the situation will most likely not come to this point.

It's just that things never go as one thinks - just a week before the meeting, on the night of that day, the city of Petrovodsk was raided.

Obviously, His Excellency the Earl of the city is the royal party, and he finally invests in the line of the eldest prince. Although it is not known what kind of promise the eldest prince gave him, there is no doubt that he has become a nail in the nail in the coffin among the southern aristocracy, and perhaps the first domino. As little princes and princesses, such a thing must not be allowed to happen - of course, what kind of political tricks they will use to pull this count back Zhou Zhongmou does not know, but now it is clear which nascent Count Tyre with his troops suddenly attacked Petrovodsk.

Whether such a move violated the wishes of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Zhou Zhongmou, as a mercenary at the bottom, did not know, but the earl's army was very powerful, which he could see. As the backbone of the city's defenses, the army of the Black Bull Heavy Knights did not defend after the surprise attack, but quickly launched a counterattack - they took the initiative to open the city gates, and the neatly lined up heavy knights tried to charge the Tyr army outside the city. The Grand Knight of Dragunov was not an inexperienced man, and he quickly determined that the besieging forces were the detachments of the Count of Tyre, whose role was to disrupt the city's defenses and buy time for the real army to attack the city.

These battles had nothing to do with Zhou Zhongmou so far, and his priority now was to see the damage outside the city, and then try to enter the city to see if he could save his benefactor, the old Ivan family, from the city. So this guy was dressed in full clothes, and the decapitator with the magic sword went out like this. "May that Buddha and Sanqing bless me, so that I can repay this life-saving kindness. Hopefully they will be able to get out of harm's way. You say that old Ivan should have resigned from his post as captain of the city guard early on, and his granddaughter also had it, so why bother with such a dangerous profession - especially in this year.
