With the departure of Croseid and Alexis, the lord's mansion fell into calm again, but someone's heart could not calm down at this moment no matter what.
In the secret altar of the mansion, the thick smell of blood spreads in the air to the point where it is almost nauseating, but for the demons in the abyss, this is the sweetest thing that even the highest-grade incense in the world cannot emit. the taste of. A large number of fragmented corpses and wet blood stains were scattered around the altar. The bone door in the center of the altar was emitting a strange red light, absorbing the blood mist around it.
Sallyen said with a cold face to Silvado who looked decadent: "Although the Holy Knight has been silenced, the possibility of attracting special attention from the Holy See is almost unthinkable, let alone the Royal Capital. The special envoy Alisa died in the Golden Spike Territory, and your stupid actions almost brought devastating damage to the entire plan! "
Whenever Sallyen said something, Silvado's face became more and more difficult to look at.
"Your Highness Silvado, your private action this time has made the Lord very angry! For this reason, I must deprive you of all command powers. There is no reason or excuse during this period. You must fully cooperate with me to clean up the mess. You must understand One thing, just like the white dragon messenger Miss Alexis said, there are too many people who can replace you for the killing master."
"I┉┉I understand."
This time, Sallyen also lowered her face and warned Silvado mercilessly. After depriving Silvado of all rights, Sallyen was not interested in giving him anything. She seemed to have lost her soul. Silvado continued to talk nonsense, and the special envoy Alisa who came from the royal capital also urgently returned to the special envoy's residence under the escort of the guards of the lord's mansion. Soon, Alisa publicly spoke out about the special envoy's residence. The riot was caused by the intrusion of wanted fugitives from the Greedo family, who had all been eliminated. It's just that the tone of the special envoy Alisa was very cold, and it seemed that she was more dissatisfied with the consultant Miss Sally.
At first, the entire Golden Spike Territory was talking about the lord leading troops to surround the special envoy's residence. When Special Envoy Alisa made such a statement publicly, the matter became even more conspiracy-like. However, it didn't take long for countless rumors to spread. Come, almost every day there are several different versions of new rumors born.
The trade fair will be held in one day. Under the impact of countless rumors, what happened at the special envoy's residence gradually turned into people's after-dinner chat. More people focused their attention on the trade fair, which is filled with a dazzling array of goods. Businessmen from all over the world brought a variety of goods, and even though it had not yet reached the opening time, huge funds were already flowing like boiling blood in the economic veins of the Golden Spike Territory.
The Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce is stationed in the guild hall.
"I found that refuting rumors and blocking information could not conceal the truth of the incident, so I simply created more and more unreliable rumors, allowing the truth to be submerged in a large amount of information." The vice president of the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce, Croside, returned to the clubhouse. There have been so many things happening in the Golden Spike Territory during this period, but the one that Croseid admired the most was the female demon named Sally En. The methods used in this public opinion war were very clever and indeed very sophisticated.
Silvado led troops to surround the lord's mansion, which was in full view of the public. There was no way to deny or refute it afterwards. Instead of desperately covering up and denying the truth, it would only arouse more discussion. Facing the overwhelming rumors that were unfavorable to Silvado, Sarah Li En did not refute these rumors one by one. Instead, she took the opportunity to intensify and create more and more outrageous rumors to confuse the public.
As soon as he opened his office and walked in, Closide was a little depressed to find that a very 'casual' guest had already arrived.
"Hey~ I'm back. How was your conversation with the consultant these days?"
The leader of the Split Tooth Ax Mercenary Group, Gelkate, was sitting carelessly on a sofa. His powerful arms with clear muscle lines were hugging a beautiful girl dressed as a maid. The girl was warming her body in a posture that attracted imagination. He knelt down and sat on Gerkat's body. Although she was wearing a long skirt, her naked body had been stripped down to her ankles, and the abnormal blush on the girl's face indicated some problems.
"Yeah!! President Croside┉┉Yes┉┉I'm sorry┉┉me!" Seeing Croside's maid, she suddenly panicked and let out a scream of shame. Perhaps because of the stimulation, the maid's skirt The pendulum was suddenly wet with some suspicious liquid.
A few minutes later┉┉
Sitting at the tidied desk again, Closide's tone was very calm, as if everything that had just happened was no big deal: "Don't do this kind of thing in my study next time, there are many places to rest in the club." s room."
"Hey~ I just want to change into a new environment and have some new excitement." Gerkat, who had just played office play, seemed to have no problem at all while eating snacks: "I have been taken care of by you these days. In fact, I I originally planned to say goodbye.”
"Farewell? Where are you going next? Saxony!"
"It's just on the way. I've almost prepared all the things needed for the trip. It's time to set off."
During this time, Croside did receive a report from his subordinates. Gerkat took a very pure magic crystal and some cash to buy a space bracelet, and prepared a large amount of travel supplies. food, cold-proof equipment, tents, medicines, etc. In Closide, if Gerkat is only going to the neighboring Kingdom of Saxony, there is no need to prepare so many things. This is obviously for long-distance travel, but if you want to go to the western part of the continent where the Holy City belongs, you only need to buy an airship. A ticket is enough. Although the two major religious organizations in the east and west dislike each other, normal business and personnel movement are not prohibited.
Unless┉┉
"Are you trying to enter the Forest of Mist?"
"Bingo! (guessed it right)" Gerkat gave Croside a thumbs up in a playful manner.
Croside was not interested in joking with Gelkate now: "Aren't you crazy? Haven't you heard the rumors about the Mist Forest?"
"I already knew about the rumors that the heavy snow has not stopped! The last time I was hired to chase the fleeing elves, I even went to the Mist Forest for a long walk."
"Then where are you going to do now?" Closide was vaguely worried. The Yanod Mountains deep in the Mist Forest is the gathering place of the White Dragon Clan. It has been recently rumored that heavy snowfall in the Mist Forest has not stopped in the summer. The abnormal phenomenon must be related to the awakening of Yalin, the White Dragon King.
“It’s nothing special┉┉I just want to take a look.”
Closide was dissatisfied with this answer: "I don't think you will suddenly run out to see the snow scene on a whim and answer me."
Gelkate leaned back on the sofa and sighed, looking at the ceiling with a lot of thoughts in her mind: "Okay~ Actually, I encountered some strange things last time I entered the Mist Forest. Whenever I saw those snowflakes, I always felt a strange feeling. There is a familiar feeling, and there are some vague memories in my mind, but they are very vague and I can’t remember them anyway, so I want to go to the Mist Forest to have a look, and maybe I can remember more things if I go deeper.”
"Don't go to the Forest of Mists, Gerkat!"
Croside's tone was still calm, but it contained an unquestionable and rebuttal tone. Gerkat looked at Croside for a moment in confusion. In his memory, the vice-president had never I have never spoken in such an unquestionable tone.
"Why?"
"Located in the Mist Forest, Belika Fortress and its affiliated towns discovered that the wolves living in the forest have undergone some kind of special mutation. This crack-tooth wolf has the ability of a low-level magical beast and can be trained by magicians to use it as a familiar. The value is high. Many mages have recently gone there to try to hunt wolves, and the Kingdom of Saxony has begun to seal off the forest area to strictly prohibit private hunting."
"What does that have to do with me? I'm not hunting wolves." Gerkat shrugged as if he didn't care.
"You don't get a pass to enter the Forest of Mist┉┉Don't forget, this time you won't have the slave traders in the free city behind you."
"Do I need them to cover me? Where am I going? Do you think anyone can stop me?"
"Don't be too confident in your own strength, Gerkat. There are many people in this world who can defeat you!" Croside's voice became deeper, as if there was a strong sense of oppression.
A glint flashed in Gelkite's eyes: "Le Ru said you?"
The room suddenly fell into a depressing atmosphere. The two of them looked at each other. The muscles in Gerkat's body tensed up. Although Croside was still holding the quill, the next moment Gerkat I believe that that seemingly soft quill will instantly turn into something more dangerous than any weapon.
Finally, Croside withdrew his gaze and said, "Please be patient, Gelkate. Anyway, I have given you a warning."
"I think you know what happened in the Forest of Mist? Or there is some reason why you can't tell me." Gelkate can become the leader of a mercenary team. In addition to strong strength, judgment is also very important: " Everyone has their own secrets, and I don’t ask you to force them to tell you.”
After saying this, Gelkate stood up, picked up the battle ax that was always placed aside, and strode towards the door.
"As I said before, I'm here to say goodbye today!"
With the last words left, the door to the study room was closed tightly!
