The female representative was a middle-aged woman who was nearly forty years old. She pondered for a while and discussed with her companion behind her, then nodded.
"Thanks to the attention of the patriarch, we are willing to go to the auction house to develop."
"That's good." Garen sent the last four guards to escort them to the auction house with two people.
Everyone in the family believed in his words, which made him very satisfied. There were rumors that the imperial capital was about to be breached by monsters, and many powerful and powerful families fled following the three institutions.
The ones left behind are not without strength, but they are top figures like Garen and the Grand Duke and Princess, who more or less know a little about the real hole cards.
There is also a group of smarter ones who stayed behind when they saw that few of the big forces left.
This also caused more than half of the entire imperial capital to be empty, and the remaining nobles were busy fighting for resources, while the chaos of the commoners was naturally ignored. Everyone only cares about their own territory.
The common areas are completely neglected.
After dealing with these matters, Garen left the manor with the last two Blackfyre guards and rushed towards his cousin's house.
From time to time on the road, you can see dead horses lying on the side of the road, houses that have been set ablaze, bandits who are looting property, and some noble men and horses smashing and looting shops and houses.
Garen and the others rode three batches of one-horned mutant horses and headed straight for Yunguang District.
Among the three districts of the imperial capital, the Yunguang District is the most chaotic.
Most of the people living here are officials and wealthy businessmen, and the most robbers come in to rob.
The three of Garen met several waves of lifeless bandits who came forward to stop them, and after being corroded into puddles of acid by the black fire heavy guards, no one dared to stop them again.
After more than 20 minutes, Garen came directly to the door of his cousin's small building in Yunguang District.
Outside the small white building on the roadside lay some dead bodies in disorder, and a large piece of blood was almost dry and frozen on the ground.
Garen stepped on the bloody water with his horse, making a wet patter.
The two Blackflame heavy guards turned over and quickly touched the surroundings, starting to expel all unstable factors around them.
Garen looked towards the second and third floors of the small building.
The small building was quiet, and there seemed to be no one at all.
Garen rode his horse around the small building. No one was seen. Two Blackfire Guards broke into the door and searched, but there was no result.
The cousins had apparently left early.
Garen was still not at ease, so he turned around and led the two of them towards Baifenglin Academy. This is where he told his cousin to rush to after the accident.
*******************
The day felt like a dream to Dany.
She came home in the middle of the night, planning to have a beautiful beauty sleep, but she was pulled up by her sister when she was half asleep, put on her clothes and rushed out.
Together with them, there was also that old sister's best friend, Sylvia, who also served in the palace.
The expressions of both of them were a little worried and urgent.
She saw her sister and Sylvia encounter a middle-aged man at the door. This man led a group of guards and said something to her sister with a serious expression. The two seemed to hesitate at the door.
But Sylvia seemed to say something too, and then her sister finally agreed.
Dani was dragged up by the elder sister, and followed the middle-aged man out of her small building.
When she left, her mind was still blurred and she hadn't woken up yet.
A piercing siren suddenly sounded in the sky outside, which startled her greatly.
The three of them were taken to a collective camp by the middle-aged man. It was a large open space with many white tents set up on it. Many people have gathered.
An aristocratic man who claimed to be Cohen soon came and took them away, and the three of them followed a group of gorgeously dressed men and women, and rushed towards the great lake in the imperial capital. Along the way, these people pointed at Sylvia as if they were looking at a piece of goods, which made her very embarrassed.
"I said a long time ago that our number is already full. You must bring her! This is all right, she is fine by herself, but she has brought two burdens." The shrill voice of the woman who led the team came faintly. Come.
"After all, she is my brother's only daughter, so let's help if we can." The man begged in a low voice.
Then there were two people, one dissatisfied and the other pleading. Dani suddenly felt an indescribable depression.
"Don't worry, it's fine." A gentle male voice came from Dani's side. This is a handsome man in white clothes. "I, like you, am also an accessory to evacuate with this family. My name is Kane. What's your name?" The man's gentle smile seemed to calm Dani's depression.
"My name is Danny."
"Oh, you are two friends brought by Miss Sylvia." Kane looked surprised. "What about your sisters?"
"It's in front." Dany looked forward and saw her sister and Sylvia standing in front of a woman in a red dress with their heads bowed, listening to the woman talking with disgust on her face.
Kane seemed to see it too. He ruffled Dany's hair vigorously. "Don't worry, it's fine."
"Kane!"
Suddenly someone called him in the distance.
"come over!"
"Let me go over." Kane turned and rushed towards the direction of the voice.
Dany watched him leave, and then began to look around boredly.
Their team was surrounded by guards in white heavy armor, among them were a few men and women in robes of various colors. These people looked arrogant and dismissive. Chatting with each other for their own sake, it seems that talking to ordinary people is an insult to their identity.
"What's the big deal!" Dany curled her lips.
Suddenly, a voice that she might never forget for the rest of her life appeared.
Not far from her, a sudden scream startled her.
All of Dany's spirits came to her at once, and she looked over there intently. Kane, who had just left, covered his abdomen with his hands and knelt down on the ground. Blood continued to flow down from his body and formed a pool on the ground. His eyes were painful and desperate, as well as helpless and helpless.
This man was the same as them, the person who followed up with this team later, listening to talk, and also a friend brought by other members of this family.
Dany seemed to be completely stunned all of a sudden.
She felt that the only man left in the whole world was the man who was howling in pain. In front of the man, a blond man with a distorted complexion was shaking the blood on the stabbed sword with a look of contempt.
"Killed!" Dani felt her mind go blank.
The man who just stood in front of her and talked to her personally, the man with a gentle smile. At this time, his body tilted and he fell to the ground with a puff. No one in the surrounding guards even looked at him, and his expression was indifferent.
Dani felt that her mouth was parched, and an unprecedented sense of fear suddenly surged out of her mind.
The person who was standing in front of her alive just now was already lying on the ground, quickly turning into a cold corpse.
This was the first time she had seen a murder.
Seeing the dead for the first time, the dead who died in front of her.
Dany's mind went blank. She didn't know when her sister came to her, and she didn't know when she was hugged by Sister Sylvia.
She just kept replaying Kane's helpless eyes before he died in her mind. That look seemed to be looking at her.
"It's okay, it's okay." My sister's voice kept coming from my ears.
"And how to deal with these drags?"
"It's too late, let them enter the third cabin."
"But that's pretending to be an animal."
"There's no room for them. If you want to go, go, if you don't go, get out!" The sharp woman's voice came from beside my ear.
Dany felt cold all over. She saw Kane's end, they have the same identity as him, maybe it may be this end
For the first time, she felt that the outside world was so dangerous.
She has always lived within the circle of her sister who can tolerate her, but this is the first time, the first time she has seen the cruelty of the real world outside.
When these normally humble, courteous and personable nobles showed their fangs, they were even more cruel than ferocious beasts, treating human life like animals.
They followed behind this team with aggrievedness, and there were more than ten people like them, all with the same identity.
The disgusted expressions and impatient tone of the nobles in front continued to reach Dani's ears. For the first time, she realized that the world she lived in was so childish and ignorant.
Self-righteously arguing with my sister every day, for trivial matters, for pocket money, self-willed and unreasonable, stealing things and selling them, thinking that I am very familiar with Yunguang District in the imperial capital. The arrogance of the sisters and sisters of those gangster leaders on the street.
But at this moment, in such an environment, compared to the powerful guards and totem masters around, those gangster leaders who are ordinary people are as fragile as chickens.
Along the way, the team was attacked by several waves of robbers and gangsters. There were many dead people around, and some people were seriously injured and left behind.
Dany's heart was getting colder and colder, and she was getting more and more afraid.
She also saw a trace of worry on her sister's face, as well as the gloom of Sylvia's sister.
Unknowingly, their team approached the big lake behind the imperial capital.
Dany's mind was confused along the way, and she didn't understand anything.
Faintly, there seemed to be bursts of exclamations coming from the front, and the whole team stopped suddenly. Someone seems to be in the way.
"Go away!"
A cold male voice came from afar.
"My lord! We really don't have what you're looking for here." The sharp woman was pleading. It seems that the power of the visitor far exceeds her. It made her completely lose the arrogance she had just now.
Boom! ah! !
After a scream, the woman lost her voice.
"Everyone stop, stand where they are, and let the adults check and check!" A female totem master in the team yelled loudly. The guards began to maintain order.
There were hundreds of people in the whole team, and there was a little panic from the front, but it subsided quickly.
Time passed by every minute and every second.
"Cousin!? Why are you here?" Suddenly a surprised male voice came from the front.
Dany looked up from her sister's arms.
What he saw was a familiar figure.
It's Ahiyah! How did he find them
Dani felt like a drowning person, seeing a familiar person, the warmth and safety in her heart seemed to fill her body at once.
He hurried over here in a white shirt. He was followed by several flattering nobles and totem masters.
"I've been looking for you for a long time! Why didn't you listen to me and came here?! If someone hadn't seen you and informed me, I might not have been able to catch up with you! What happened to Dani?"
"She was frightened," the sister's voice whispered back.
"Come on!" Ahishia yelled back impatiently.
Soon a figure covered in black armor came forward and lowered his head without saying a word.
"Pick her up, and we'll go directly to the Royal Hospital! Forget it, I'll come in person!"
Dani was in a daze, feeling as if she was hugged by a broad chest, and an unprecedented sense of security slowly flowed from her heart.
It turned out that Shia still had such a side. Dany had never seen this side before, as if the companion she had known since she was a child suddenly became unknown. It becomes dazzling, dazzling, faintly coincides with a certain fantasy in my mind.
She pressed her face tightly against the other's chest, and finally fell asleep after a while.
