This night, before the sun even rose, the fog had receded.

The demon of lies fled, swearing that the crisis in Harbour City had basically been resolved.

Although he has not been able to correct the lie on the spot, in Wright's opinion, the other party is just a grasshopper after the autumn, and he can't jump a few times.

But so far, Wright still hasn't been able to see any information about Dragon Island from the other party's actions.

Could it be that the strange disappearance of this Dragon Island has nothing to do with the Lie Demon.

That's just a kind of Dragon Island, and the self-protection behavior can't be achieved?

With this doubt, Wright and others ushered in the sunrise of a new day.

Although some of the negative energy from last night was absorbed by the Lie Demon, the rest went into Lilith's belly.

This little devil is full at night.

I'm still in bed, digesting the massive malice of yesterday.

Although she was forcibly upgraded, she was slightly injured. But this plan is a big tonic pill, and the benefits have multiplied several times.

But this battle is still damaged.

Wright, Emily, and Alice were all hurt to a greater or lesser extent in the duel.

A day's rest time is also for a better rest.

At the same time, it is to solve the final mystery.

Without breakfast, Wright took Unity, who had been hiding in the warehouse all night, and headed for the castle lord's mansion in the upper city.

The only thing he hadn't figured out was the relationship between Highgroh and the serial killers.

Judging from the fact that the Lying Demon abandoned all the killers and pirate scimitars, but kept only the fishbone sacrificial knives.

The serial act of murder should still be an unknown ritual, as initially inferred.

And if you want to understand the reason for this, you can only ask the city lord to understand.

"Stop! In front of it is the important land of the city lord's mansion! ”

When Wright came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, a sentry standing guard blocked their way.

"Mr. Wright, are you here to find the City Lord? I don't know, you have made an appointment in advance. ”

"I ......"

Before Wright could say anything, a guard hurriedly ran out of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Pass on the city lord's message, please ask His Royal Highness Wright to go to the city lord's mansion to talk about it."

Wright raised his eyebrows, and even called himself His Highness, so it seems that the other party knows the identity of the Holy Son of the Holy Light Church?

In that case, it's simpler.

The soldiers guarding the gate hurriedly retreated, and Wright immediately drove straight into the city lord's mansion with Unika.

When Yunica entered the Lord's Mansion for the first time, she looked a little nervous.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Today, we are here to ask the teacher for sin. You're a police detective! You've got to stand up! ”

"I ...... Well! ”

Yunica took a deep breath and her eyes became much more determined.

Led by the guards, Wright and the others arrived in the study in the castle of the City Lord's Mansion.

The pot-bellied city lord was holding a book at the moment, standing at the window and looking out. Outside, the endless sea.

"Your Highness, Wright, you are here. Should I say first time, or do I meet again? ”

Wright pulled over a chair and sat down, cocking Erlang's legs.

"The lord of the city is so Yaxing. Read a book, look at the sea, and live a boundless life. ”

His Highness smiled. It's just a useless pastime. ”

"Actually, I had a good impression of you at first, you can govern the Harbour City of Kedrus so prosperously, and you can be regarded as a capable city lord.

Although there are also contradictions between the upper city and the lower city, in today's world, you can be regarded as a better person to deal with these conflicts.

To be fair, before the fog appeared, the people here lived and worked in peace and contentment, which is a remarkable political achievement.

But...... I'm not here today to praise you. ”

Wright's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone became cold.

"So, did I ask, or did you just say it?"

The city lord laughed: "I'll just say it, I'm afraid that His Highness will ask something omission."

It all started 30 years ago. ”

I don't know what kind of mentality the city lord is waiting for Wright's arrival, but after he met, he directly told the past and the inventory.

It's not so much a confession, but rather a wait for so many years, and finally waiting for someone to talk to.

"That year, because I offended people who shouldn't be offended in the imperial capital of the empire, I was sent to this remote fishing village and became the lord of the city.

At that time, Kedrus was not a decent city, but more like a market put together by several small fishing villages nearby, and finally developed into a small town.

My family's sphere of influence is not here, so it can't provide me with any convenience or care.

I just started from scratch and grew this small town little by little.

Eventually, it was built into a decent seaside city.

This city has poured my heart and soul into it.

But as the city developed, there were naturally people who wanted to pick peaches.

There are still people in the empire who want to fight it, and the family thinks that I am capable and wants to transfer me back to the family's sphere of influence for their use.

But after all this time, I have fallen deeply in love with the city and see it as my own child.

I didn't want to go, but no one wanted to help me.

Just when I was desperate, the Sea Clan extended an olive branch to me. ”

Wright immediately sat up straight: "Sea Clan? Are you sure it's the Sea Clan? ”

"Yes, and it's the royal family of the Sea Clan!"

The city lord was very sure: "They easily helped me stabilize the situation and keep my position as the city lord."

But at the cost of finding a small fishing village that was left to be independent. ”

Yunica stood up excitedly: "Is it Higro?" ”

"I didn't know what it was called until I found it. The reason why I have not been able to find it is because the periphery of this small fishing village is covered in a thick layer of fog all year round. ”

Wright raised his eyebrows: "This, this is the first time I've heard of it." Strange, why did those people in the fishing port not mention the fog? ”

"They live in a fishing village and never think about leaving. Naturally, no one noticed that outside the fishing village, there was a thick fog that covered the sky. ”

The city lord chuckled: "Those fogs seem to have life, and I have tried my best to get into them, but I can't go deep into them.

In desperation, I had no choice but to inform the Sea Clan of the information, hoping to get their help.

The Sea Clan was quick to get back to me and introduced me to a powerful and mysterious team of magicians.

And assured me that with their help, we would be able to break through the fog and enter the small fishing village without much effort.

As for what to do once you enter the fishing village, you just need to listen to the magicians.

I didn't think much of it at the time, so I agreed.

Unexpectedly, this move not only caused the destruction of the fishing village of Highgro, but also pushed the Harbour City of Cruws that I built into the abyss of sin. ”
