Limon Tanlu.
The magnificent ancient city wall stands tall, and rows of Knox soldiers patrol along the wall. The sharp blades they hold shine cold. At each corner tower, there are shadow flow disciples and ominous blade legions as secret sentries to jointly guard this century old city.
Compared with the solemn atmosphere of the city wall, the city is much noisy and lively.
The glorious Memorial Day has passed for some time, but the strong festive atmosphere has not dispersed, decorating the peaceful life under the chaos.
The wide streets, crowded with traffic and people, are a bustling scene.
The abyss invasion brought unimaginable trauma to everyone. No matter ordinary people and businessmen, or nobles and extraordinary people, too many people died in this disaster.
Even if Valoran led the full suppression, the abyss events in the territory did not stop and often occurred, which brought a hidden sense of oppression to all people.
The arrival of the glorious Memorial Day has timely become a way to vent. Countless people take this opportunity to take to the streets to cover their inner sadness and welcome a new life.
Yesterday's events are vivid, but they are like another world.
In addition, there are well-informed people. They know the purgatory scene outside Valoran's territory through magic communication. There are starving people everywhere, dead bodies, mountains and blood, and become a living abyss on the earth.
gods? temple? Nobility?
In front of the abyss, interests are paramount. Not all countries will care about the lives of their people. Those in power ignore the prayers of vulnerable groups and sit on the sidelines.
Ordinary people have to make difficult choices for their lives, break the shackles of morality and expose their inner evil.
This also made many people aware of the difference of Valoran collar, especially after the reform of aristocracy and the emergence of hykes technology, they saw the hope of breaking the inherent rank and promoting upward.
Aristocratic area, Dale family residence.
Bright magic lights shed light on this simple and exquisite building complex, and many luxurious carriages engraved with noble heraldry stayed at the door.
The Dali family, who fell to modrian in the early stage, is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Valoran reform and has an extraordinary position in the new aristocratic group.
Da Da! Da Da!
The rapid pace broke the silence of the study. The lights were dim. Gardner frowned and looked at the door.
The door opened and Hewlett entered the study with a dignified look.
"Something's wrong. There's news in the city that the kingdom of behlik has started a war again and is fighting with the noxas Legion in Blackwood province and territory."
Gardner put down the document in his hand and said calmly, "are you sure the news is true?"
"I'm not sure." Hewlett gently shook his head and whispered. He seemed to think of something and continued, "but Lord Katrina suddenly left for NUU fortress a few days ago."
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!
Gardner knocked on the desk and looked calm: "forget Lord Katrina. That's not what we should talk about."
"Since the territory has not released any news, these so-called news are words of bewitchment and gossip."
"Arrange for the city guard to go out and catch those who spread rumors. Regardless of their identity, they will be directly sent to prison."
"Yes!" Hewlett whispered, ready to leave.
"Wait, let the dakama family cooperate. I suspect someone is making trouble." Gardner got up and looked at Limon Tanlu on the windowsill with a cold look.
"Is this to disturb the rear?"
The strength and terror of the kingdom of behlik were forged by the bloody war with the kingdom of stoke for hundreds of years.
Even if Valoran led the great broken lizard Legion in shatar Great Plains, he could not completely dispel the panic of ordinary people.
"Do we need to contact Horace?" Hewlett thought and asked. Any movement of Valoran's collar deserves the attention of the Dale family.
"No, remember to send the action records to Lord svein after it is over." Gardner ordered that svein's existence is not just as simple as sitting in Limon Tanlu. He guessed that there must be deeper consideration.
"Yes!" received the order, Hewlett left the study and immediately went to the city guard camp.
With the lights flickering, Gardner leaned against the windowsill, overlooking the scenery of Limon Tanlu, and occasionally saw crows circling.
"The abyss invasion is not over, but the kingdom of behlik provokes war again?"
"It seems that our Lord has encountered great difficulties and hopes to get through it smoothly."
No matter what the situation, the Dale family would not have other ideas. After the shattar Great Plains war, Gardner firmly followed the idea of Valoran.
Even though the aristocratic system was reformed, the Dali family lost its original status and interests.
But now, it seems that the identity of the new aristocracy is more suitable for the Dale family, and there is a thriving face inside and outside the family.
"Old aristocracy? A group of enjoyment of vested interests."
"Sooner or later, it will be eliminated by the torrent of history and become a meaningless antique."
Gardner whispered softly. Behind the rumor incident, it is not difficult for him to guess the thoughts of some people, and perhaps the temptation outside the territory?
......
......
Peres castle.
The festive atmosphere filled the inside and outside. A famous servant and soldier smiled, decorated the castle with lanterns and decorations, as if they were celebrating something.
Viscount Brooke was sitting in the castle living room, with a steady smile on his face and receiving everyone's blessing.
Late last night, the Peris family ushered in a new heir - the newly born Vaughn Peris, who is also the half brother of modrian and Sophia.
This also reassured many followers of viscount Brooke.
The rise of modrian and the death of Kadir made many followers of the Peris family bear inexplicable pressure.
Especially after the Valoran collar has become more and more powerful, they have tasted an extremely bitter taste, and even the previous abyss invasion. If it were not for the support of the Valoran collar, the pelis territory would have turned into abyss scorched earth.
Fortunately, now Viscount Brooke has another child. As followers, they see a little hope... The hope of establishing contact with Valoran.
Da Da! Da Da!
With the sound of hurried footsteps, David solemnly entered the living room. After seeing many followers, he moved to the side of viscount Brooke and whispered softly.
"You go down first." after hearing the report, viscount Brooke remained calm, waved his hand and signaled his followers to leave, leaving Sophia, Benny and crane.
When the followers left, the living room looked empty.
David took a timely step forward and said in a deep voice, "Miss Sophia, Lord Benny, this morning, there was a rumor in Peris castle that the Valoran leader was about to fall into the wave of war in the kingdom of behlik and had no time to take too much into account."
"In addition, there are some remarks that the abyss invasion will break out again, causing territorial riots and panic."
Hearing the speech, Sophia frowned and said in an instant, "Valoran collar will definitely be fine, father, these rumors must be curbed."
What she saw and heard on the wilderness plain made her vaguely see the Valoran collar on the other side, which was far from the terrorist strength that outsiders could imagine.
"If Uncle David can't handle it, housekeeper crane and Uncle Benny, I think they will have a way."
David, deputy head of the scarlet shield regiment in Peris territory, is a powerful knight.
Hearing Sophia's unkind words, he looked hesitantly at Viscount Brooke and waited silently.
"Pass my order to martial law the territory from today on."
"Those who spread rumors, kill! Those who disturb order, kill! Those who shake the hearts of the people, kill!"
"Yes!" David immediately took command, clenched his sword at his waist and looked murderous.
Although there is a generational relationship, Sophia's status is much higher than that of him. His words of almost reprimand make him dare not have a little resentment.
Those who spread rumors as the source have no status to speak of, and strangers who become territorial enemies will be good vent targets.
"Housekeeper crane, Uncle Benny, please help David and stabilize people's hearts. Don't spread any rumors from Peres territory."
Sophia finished her command, looked at Viscount Brooke sitting on the throne and said softly, "father, we can't go back to the past, but the fetters of blood won't disappear."
"Believe in modrian and Valoran, this will be the most correct decision of the Peres family."
With these words, Sophia's spirit flashed and suddenly thought of Anne's existence. Is it that modrian had already considered the occurrence of all things and specially arranged Anne to accompany her to Peris territory.
Recalling the journey, she marveled at modrian's growth and was glad to see the current situation happen.
