In the closed secret room, in the cramped space, Nasha, who had been tortured too much, had died of anger, and Kopochin took Reco to the secret room where Nasha was imprisoned, and saw the tragic scene in front of her, but Reco did not shed a single tear.

"You are so ruthless, even when the servant who has been with you for many years dies, you refuse to shed a tear for her. ”

"Why should I shed tears?" Lei Ke looked directly at Kopochin: "We have already made up our minds to die when we sneak into you, she died a miserable death, but you are the one who should shed tears for her and repent for her!"

"Hmph. Kopochin chuckled: "You can only get angry in words, in reality you can't do anything." Just now, your people wanted to come here to save you, but unfortunately, five of the seven people died, and two ran away with serious injuries, and their deaths were also very miserable. ”

"Bastard!"

"Angry?" said with a laugh from Kopochin, "It's no use being angry. I believe that as long as you are in my hands, they will still come to save you, and even if you don't say it, they will be like moths to a fire, one by one. ”

Lei Ke said angrily: "Your plot will not succeed, they will not come to save me again, but will hide and quietly wait for the opportunity." ”

"Really, shall we make a bet?" said Copperchin, "you say that if I take you out to a public execution tomorrow, will they come to your rescue?"

"You're ......!" Reco's eyes were about to burst into flames.

Copochin said proudly: "Don't be angry, the time for you to be angry hasn't come yet." I will let you see your companions die at my hands one by one. ”

......

The next day. Alice had heard the news of the attack on the manor last night, and she had nothing to worry about when she learned that Lulkaf Copperchin was safe. I came to the manor to find out the situation, and happened to meet Bangera, who came to visit, and in addition to the two playboys, one with black hair and one with white hair.

Alice saw that Bangera and Copperchin had been chatting for a long time, and when they were free, she stepped forward and asked, "Deputy Mayor, I have something to talk to you about, I wonder if you are free?"

Bangera seemed to be in a good mood, and he smiled and said, "Of course the beauty is free to look for me." But we'll have to wait. I'll come back to you after I've talked about things here. ”

In addition to being concerned about the previous night, Banjela and Kopochin wanted to talk about organizing an exploration team to go to the Huangsha Inland Sea to conduct a detailed exploration of the minerals there, although this matter was a matter for the town hall, but they had to be able to inquire through Guò Kopochin.

Alice stepped aside. The official who accompanied her to the archives yesterday came over and said, "Now you can't be called the deputy mayor." Yesterday Sir and others agreed. The deputy city has been temporarily appointed as the acting mayor, and it is time to change his name to the mayor in the future. ”

Alice smiled: "I see, no wonder he seems to be in a good mood." She lowered her eyebrows and muttered, "Acting Mayor ......"

Jennifer looked at Alice in the distance. After the officials next to her left, she came over and said, "A deputy mayor has suddenly become an acting mayor, and from this point of view, he is the one who has benefited the most from Mayor Calid's death." ”

"That doesn't mean much. "He's the deputy mayor, and it's a reason to be the acting mayor," Alice said. ”

"It's right, but it's suspicious, isn't it? He's one of those who knows the mayor's itinerary. ”

Alice thought for herself, silent.

When the matter was finished, Bangera told Naviti and Saseniel to go first, and she found Alice and asked, "Is there anything you want to talk to me about?" ”

"That's right. Alice said: "Actually, I want to ask you, twenty-seven years ago, did anything important happen in the world?"

"Something important. Bangjera thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk in a different place." ”

Cafes are one of the most talkative places. "Twenty-seven years ago, I can't really remember anything that made a splash, but thirty years ago I remember an incident that had a big impact on the world," Bangjera said. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Thirty years ago, at the behest of the Holy Garden, the GIWB united with a number of national forces to carry out a bloody ethnic cleansing of a group called Sudmitte, which had a lot of impact at the time, and the whole process was in the headlines of the newspapers for a month," said Banjera. After the Sudmiit clan was wiped out, the turmoil after the incident lasted for half a year before gradually subsided, which can be said to be the most sensational thing in the world that year. ”

Alice remembered that when she was on Little Mill Island, Hurrington had also mentioned it, and she said, "I've heard about it, but I don't know the cause and effect. The Holy Garden and GIWB have always been important forces in maintaining justice and peace in the world, so why should it be so cruel to launch a tribal cleansing against a group?"

"I don't know what happened, I was young at the time, and when I heard the news, I was very surprised and shocked. In fact, I hadn't even heard of the Sudmiit before that incident, but although the Holy Garden and GIWB plan did not give a reason for doing this, at that time, GIWB was a union of the world's three superpowers, Demon Moon, St. Bikkaya, Although many people were confused at the time, they thought that since it was something that these five parties did together, there must be a reason for it, so no one investigated the cause, and no one dared to pursue it. ”

"Demon Moon is also participating?!" Alice was shocked.

"yes. "Oh, there is a rumor that the Sudmides are a demon race that will bring untold calamity and ruin to mankind. But this statement is just an anecdote circulating in the mouths of taverns and ordinary people, and the authenticity of it may be greatly diminished. ”

Alice nodded slightly: "But this incident doesn't seem to be directly related to the murder that happened in Sir Manor, and what happened to Sir should be related to twenty-seven years ago, not thirty years ago." ”

"yes. "I can't really remember anything back then, the world was quite peaceful, although some things happened," Banjera said. But no matter how you think about it, it has nothing to do with Sir Lurkaugh. ”

After the two sat down for a while, Alice got up and said, "Thank you so much, I'm sorry to delay you so much." ”

"What's the matter, it's an honor for me to be able to serve a beautiful woman. ”

"By the way, congratulations on becoming acting mayor. ”

Bangera smiled: "It's just the temporary acting mayor, wait until I become the official mayor to congratulate me." Good bye. ”

"Bye. ”

After leaving the café, Alice went to the police station.

......

Meanwhile, at the manor, Copperchin receives a magically sealed letter.

Before Copochin could open the letter, his face had already changed color, and he asked the servant who sent it, "What about the messenger?"

He wrote to me and left. "The servant said.

"What does he look like?"

"It's a young child, and he said that this seal is very important, and I must give it to you personally. ”

"Have you ever opened the letter?"

The servant hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare." This letter is sealed by magic. I haven't moved, and this is the master's letter, how dare I open it privately. ”

Kopochin nodded: "Very good, you go down." Don't talk to anyone about it. ”

"Got it, master. ”

After the servant left. Copochin closed the door. Holding the letter in his hand, he was surprised: "Why did they come so quickly? They must have arrived early." He quickly slapped the magic seal open. After reading the contents of the letter, he immediately burned all the letter paper envelopes into powder with fire: "Sure enough, it's all here." Well. It's better to show up at this time, and let them see her. ”

......

On the other side, the hawkers on the noisy street were selling all kinds of goods to passers-by, and Brad, who had just slept and was strolling in the sun on the street with his sword on his shoulder, and in three hours he should be on duty, and he would not change his shift again until three o'clock in the middle of the night, so he had to take advantage of this time to shop around and buy some snacks to take with him.

A little beggar ran towards him as he was walking, and he didn't look at the road and hit him directly. Brad's expression tightened, and in an instant his left hand had already pressed the hilt of the sword, and the other hand grabbed the little beggar's arm, and slowly lifted the beggar's hand out of his pocket: "Boy, dare to steal my things, you are impatient!"

"No, it's not...... It's not ......" The little beggar was caught so painfully that tears came down his eyes.

"Hmph, I still want to quibble!" Brad shook his hand and threw the little beggar to the ground, but saw a ball of paper roll out of the beggar's hand: "Well, what is this?"

"This ...... This is something that someone asked me to give to you. The little beggar got up from the ground and ran, and after a while he was gone.

Brad didn't bother to care, picked up the paper ball on the ground, opened it, looked at it, looked left and right, and went into an alley. At the corner of an alley, he stopped: "It's you! Why did you use this method to meet me?"

The man around the corner said, "I'm seeing you like this for your own good." ”

Brad didn't know why.

The man around the corner looked at the saber on his waist and said, "It's really strange that I see you wearing this saber every day, but I've never seen you use it." ”

Brad instinctively took a step back and held his sword behind him: "It's none of your business. ”

"Oh?" the man around the corner struck quickly, and before Brad could react, the sword was drawn from its sheath.

"My sword! you...... Give it back to me!"

This sword looked unremarkable, but the hand of the person around the corner shook hard, and layers of debris fell on the sword, revealing the true face of the sword. The man around the corner shook his head and exclaimed, "Good sword, really a good sword." If I have to remember the word 'empire' on it, it should be the divine weapon of the Holy Bektian Empire that was almost rated as a national weapon. Isn't it, Reed Peck?"

The man who came under the pseudonym Dirk Brad was none other than Reed Pike, who had fled from the mountains with the Imperial Sword after defeating Death Mafia at the Prisoner's Gate on Mount Ilseus.

"Who the hell are you!?" Brad was frightened and frightened, and his emotions were very nervous.

The man around the corner leaned in and whispered a few words in his ear.

Brad's eyes narrowed: "It's you!

The man around the corner: "Of course not, don't be nervous, I have no ill will towards you." ”

"Really?" said Brad, apparently unconvinced.

The man around the corner put the sword back into his sheath and said, "If I wanted to kill you, you would have died a long time ago, and you would still be alive until now?"

"Then what do you want?" said Brad, "I finally changed my name and surname to hide in such a remote place, just to avoid being wanted, and I was worried that someone would chase and kill me." I just want to live the rest of my life in peace and security, and I don't want to get involved in those things again. ”

"I know, and I'm surprised that you'll be serving as a guard for someone else in Xisha City. Don't worry, I won't talk about your business, you can stay here in peace, with your Imperial Sword. ”

"And what are you looking for me?" asked Brad.

The man around the corner: "I want you to do something for me." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I want you to ......" The man around the corner stepped forward and whispered a few more words in his ear.

Brad looked hesitant after hearing this.

The man around the corner said, "I don't want to blackmail you, because it's boring." But if you really don't want to help me, I only have ......."

"Okay, I promise you. Brad said, "But you also have to talk and count." ”

"Definitely. ”
