Earl Nicole suddenly turned his head, and saw that the sea of fire in Bailu City had been miraculously extinguished.
The fire came weirdly and went even weirder.
Earl Nicole became more and more sure that this was not an ordinary fire at all!
The rumors about Fallen Eagle City came to mind again, Earl Nicole looked at Knight Logue with piercing eyes, and asked in a deep voice:
"Knight Logue, could it be that someone is trying to sacrifice Bailu City and release the forbidden spell [Eye of Judgment]?"
"That's right." The Logue knight nodded.
"Is it Mr. Yu?"
"Anyone else but him." Knight Logue looked at the hatred in Earl Nicole's eyes, and added, "However, Mr. Ji alone cannot cause such a fire in Bailu City."
Earl Nicole's heart sank, and the previous conjecture resurfaced again.
Although he didn't want to believe it, he still asked in a trembling tone, "Is Earl Evan helping him?"
"What do you think?" Knight Logue asked back, before giving Earl Nicole any time to think, he continued to ask the question just now,
"Earl Nicole, Bailu City is now in chaos, and people are panicking. We need a respected nobleman to stabilize the situation. Are you willing to take on this important task?"
Hearing this again, Earl Nicole certainly didn't think that Knight Logue was crazy like he did just now.
Finally, he believed that Earl Angelet should still be alive.
Moreover, the extinguishment of this fire is most likely his masterpiece.
Perhaps from the very beginning, he had an insight into the plans of Earl Evan and Mr. Xie, so he formulated a countermeasure to cheat death and turn the tables.
Thinking of this, Earl Nicole couldn't help but feel chills—no one had ever put him under such pressure like Colin Angelet.
Military genius, but also unparalleled resourcefulness.
Earl Nicole suddenly felt that compared with the Earl of the Northern Territory, the sons of the St. Pross family were as stupid as pigs...
I'm afraid that from now on, the entire eastern region will be shrouded in the shadow of the earl of the northern region.
But at the same time, Earl Nicole also realized the meaning behind the invitation sent by Knight Logue...
For a moment, his heart was pounding, and some kind of ambition hidden deep in his heart that he dared not speak to others suddenly stirred up.
But Earl Nicole, who was always holding a heavy hand, still took a deep breath, calmed down the restlessness in his heart, and said:
"Shouldn't you find a Saint Pross to take on this important task?"
The corner of the Logue knight's mouth twitched, and he sneered unabashedly:
"Is there anyone else in the St. Pros family who can take on this important task? Can the people of Bailu City continue to trust them?"
Earl Nicole's heart, which had just calmed down, became agitated again.
Although he also knew that he would never be able to become the Duke of the Eastern Region, but with the support of Earl Angelet, it was not difficult to take over the authority of the Eastern Region temporarily.
And this will definitely bring earth-shaking changes to the status and strength of the Nicole family!
Count Nicole licked his chapped lips, and asked in a eager and hesitant tone:
"Count Angelet, what's the plan?"
The Logue knight smiled lightly, put on a natural expression, and said:
"Your Majesty, of course, only wants to restore stability to Bailu City as soon as possible. Don't forget that His Majesty's war order has been sent, and the Eastern Territory must be ready to send troops as soon as possible."
Earl Nicole knew that the other party did not fully trust him, and he also understood that once he accepted the invitation, he would be regarded as taking refuge in the Angelet family. If the situation in the East Territory repeats in the future, he is very likely to be retaliated and liquidated...
Thinking of this, Count Nicole's face changed drastically, and he was struggling inwardly.
But the Logue knight was already a little impatient, and urged after seeing this:
"Count Nicole, time is urgent. If you don't want to, then Count Angelet may have to choose someone else."
"I do!"
Earl Nicole suddenly raised his head and growled firmly.
"Very good!" The Logue knight showed a satisfied smile, then waved his hand and ordered:
"Blood Cavalry, enter the city!"
…
White Dew Castle.
In the underground ice cellar, Princess Judy was huddled in Prince Harrison's arms, her petite body trembling uncontrollably because of fear or the cold.
In fact, the fire did not affect Bailu Castle. After all, no matter how insane Earl Evan was, it was impossible for him to burn down his own castle.
However, although there was no fire, they were in a sea of flames after all. The scorching air made the people in the castle feel as if their lungs were being poured with boiling water every time they took a breath.
The hot temperature also made Bailu Castle seem to be on a steamer, and the heat was unbearable.
Important figures in the castle have all been moved to the basement.
And Prince Harrison and Princess Judy were arranged in the largest ice cellar.
The temperature here will naturally not be affected too much, and the entrances and exits are blocked by wet curtains, and the air is still fresh.
However, this still cannot alleviate the anxiety and fear of people in the icehouse.
"Brother, are we going to die?"
Princess Judy still has tears on her face, it seems that she just cried.
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
Prince Harrison hugged his sister tightly and comforted him in a firm tone.
But in fact, he has no bottom in his heart.
Princess Judy didn't know if she could hear her brother's insincere words, she was silent for a while, then suddenly asked:
"Brother, if we didn't escape this catastrophe, what would you regret most?"
Prince Harrison was taken aback by these words.
He wanted to comfort his sister that he would definitely escape this disaster, but he didn't say it when he got to his lips.
At the same time, I couldn't help but start thinking in my heart—what would I regret
Can't see mom and dad again
Failed to avenge the teacher
Or did he just miss the most supreme position in the Glorious Empire
…
After thinking about it, Prince Harrison found that the final picture in his mind was actually the first time he saw Cathy Savoy.
It was a scorching summer afternoon, and Cathy, who was wearing a blue tuniced maid dress, followed Colin timidly. Seeing Prince Harrison's staring gaze, she immediately responded with a respectful and subdued look. A shy smile.
It was this smile that hit the heart of Prince Harrison, who was just in love.
Prince Harrison felt extremely regretful that he would not be able to see Cathy Savoy again before he died.
But then, he was immediately glad that Cathy didn't come to Bailu City with her.
Looking at the silent brother, Princess Judy couldn't help but tugged at his collar, saying:
"Brother, why don't you speak?"
A flash of panic flashed in Prince Harrison's eyes, and he was thinking about how to answer his sister's previous question when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.
Afterwards, I saw Knight Ivan running in excitedly, shouting:
"Your Highness, the fire is extinguished! The fire is extinguished!"
"Really?" Prince Harrison stood up holding Princess Judy.
"Of course it is true! You can come out and see for yourself."
"I'll go and have a look!" Princess Judy immediately broke free from her brother's embrace and ran out like a little rabbit.
Prince Harrison also hurriedly followed.
After leaving the ice cellar, they found that the fire in the city was miraculously extinguished.
Although the air was still filled with scorching smoke, it was obvious that the temperature had dropped rapidly.
"Great! We're saved! We're saved!"
Princess Judy jumped and cheered excitedly.
The surrounding nobles and guards were also cheering. Fortunately, there were still many people kneeling on the ground piously, praising the Lord of Radiance.
Prince Harrison also burst into tears with excitement.
In his blurred vision, Prince Harrison seemed to see a familiar figure—
The figure of the teacher!
Just when Prince Harrison thought he was wrong, he heard his sister shout out in surprise:
"Teacher! Teacher, you are still alive!"
As she spoke, the little girl rushed over and threw herself into Colin's arms.
The first ray of morning light just shone in Bailu Castle, bringing an end to this long night.
