Chapter 98
Yes and No
Siborburg.
Carolina followed the marks shown by the tracking technique and walked towards the Queltos Store's residence, with decisive steps and a little excited.
Because Carolina felt that she was finally going to see the guy who had been pursuing her for hundreds of years but had been avoiding her disappearance. Although Carolina herself admitted that this was her unilateral pursuit - but nothing could stop her from meeting her sweetheart at this moment, unless - suddenly, a red light flashed on her chest!
Carolina suddenly changed her color and quickly reached out to hold up the necklace on her chest. The fiery red crystal hanging on the necklace was now flashing dazzlingly, as if it was an alarm.
The finger tapped on the crystal, and a ripples visible to the naked eye rippled from the surface of the crystal, and then a line of text suddenly floated in front of Carolina.
This line of words is not a human or an elves, but the oldest and orthodox dragon clan text. Carolina was stunned on the spot with just one look!
The line of words read: "Nerios's skeleton was found outside the outskirts of the city of Hillas, so go to the Palace of Hillas to deal with this matter."
The floating text was like light smoke, which disappeared in the air for more than ten seconds. However, Carolina still maintained her posture just now as if she was struck by lightning.
A drop of clear tears slowly slid down her beautiful face and fell to the ground with a "splash".
Then there is the second drop and the third drop.
Carolina reached out and covered her mouth hard, for fear that she would cry, but tears had already blurred her eyes, and her beautiful face seemed to have become much haggard in an instant.
Her body took two steps back as if she was uncontrollably. She stared blankly at the place where the text had just disappeared, as if she had lost her ability to think.
Suddenly, Carolina seemed to have figured out something and tried to hold back the tears that kept coming out. She first looked at the Queltos Trading Station, which was less than 100 meters away, and then suddenly turned her head and looked east - that was the direction of the city of Hillas.
The fiery red dress floated gently, and Carolina stepped forward, then ran suddenly.
Before the pedestrians on the road could react to why this beautiful woman who was like a goddess descending to earth was crying and running, she saw only a dazzling red light flashing - and then a shocking dragon roar sounded!
At this moment, the gorgeous glass of the Siborburg Church was shattered!
At this moment, all the civilians in the entire Siborburg were shocked by the dragon roar from the superior dragon clan.
A huge figure suddenly appeared in the sky - the shadow covering the sky almost covered half of Siborburg. The civilians on the ground noticed the figure that was blocking the sun like clouds. When they had just had time to look up and use their sight to capture the huge body symbolizing the highest end of the food chain in the mainland, they only saw the red dragon spread its wings and flew out a thousand meters in the blink of an eye, then turned into a black dot and disappeared into the clouds in the distance!
Only the dragon roar is still echoing in the sky with the lingering sound, full of bone-bending sorrow.
Many people who were looking at the sneak sword in their hands suddenly looked up and rushed out of the house quickly, but only heard the roar of the dragon.
"Dragon Clan?" Noda walked to many and looked at the east sky with confusion.
Many nodded, but suddenly remembered the fiery red figure who looked at him in the elders' council for less than a second.
Shaking his head, many didn't understand why they suddenly appeared in their minds of this woman who had never spoken to, and drove her out of their minds. Many looked down at their left wrist and tried to raise their palms.
"Click!"
A sharp blade with uniform carbon element traces ejected from the wrist position, and many nodded, sighing in their hearts that this was really a weapon of assassination and was very concealed!
After trying to wave it, many of them seemed not to be used to this kind of sneaker sword under the wrist, and then turned around and continued to explore how to use this sharp blade while competing with Noda.
Hilna was writing a letter to her father in her room, and she decided not to return to Dalhiel for the time being. As for the reason, she understood from the fact that she looked at many in the open space downstairs from time to time.
Salia sat obediently on the chair next to the open space, carefully observing many people discussing how to use the sneaker sword with Noda. Listening to the two of them discussing the offense and defense, the little girl blinked her beautiful eyelashes and showed a thoughtful look from time to time.
Since she showed her power at the banquet, everyone has never dared to regard Saliya, a cute little girl, as an ordinary little girl.
Even Elena is a little unnatural when talking to Salia now - a magician is really a very noble title for humans. Unlike ordinary nobles, people's awe of magicians comes from the heart.
The people of St. Reims' awe for the nobles can now be roughly understood as awe for the "ancestors" of these nobles - because their country was defeated by the ancestors of these nobles with flesh and blood, but people's hatred for these nobles now is far more than respectful.
Corruption and power to bully others, all kinds of indisputable facts have made the hard-working civilians maintain the maximum tolerance for the nobles.
However, this is like an embankment attempting to block the flood. When countless cracks appear in the embankment, the result is already destined.
On the other hand, magicians - they walk in the secular world and win people's respect with their extraordinary strength. Although the character of magicians is of varying quality, it is an indisputable fact that this group can gain universal respect.
Earl's Mansion.
Victoria picked up the investigation report in her hand, but she felt distressed in her heart.
After yesterday's assassination, Victoria immediately summoned all the troops from the Inquisition and the Castle Defense Division to investigate the assassin's background and motivation.
Just now, a neat report was submitted to him by his subordinates.
“Martin Hannibal, twenty-six years old.
Born in Xiboerling, he originally lived in the old city.
I was once a farmer and had a sister and two parents at home.
About three years ago, due to the demolition and renovation of the old city, the Martin family did not receive the amount of compensation they deserved and sought the Urban Construction Department's reasoning, and a conflict broke out.
Martin's father Bolpe was seriously injured by the guards of the City Defense Department who rushed to the news and died. Martin's mother Paula went to the referee the next day to file a lawsuit. On the way home, she was robbed and killed by an unidentified thug.
Martin's sister was arrested by the City Defense Department guards afterwards, and her whereabouts are still unknown.
Martin then disappeared for two and a half years, and once again had a record of taking office as a waiter at the Bohemia Hotel. He resigned six months later.
Before the incident, he lived in the village of Westborburg. According to the search results, no suspicious items were left behind.
Half a month ago, Martin successfully applied for a banquet waiter.
Note: There is evidence that Martin's parents and sister were killed by Joey, the captain of the City Defense Department's guards."
Looking at the very objective information compiled by the trusted confidant, Victoria frowned with sadness and sighed lightly.
No wonder he would kill himself like a dead soldier and kill him. His family misfortune had given him enough reason to take revenge. Martin came to him, and Victoria believed that he ignored the loss.
Although I am the leader of Sibor, I am really powerless when it comes to what I have done for the lower-class civilians like Sibor.
It’s not that I don’t want to improve people’s livelihood. Today, when the aristocratic class is in a state of decay, it’s thankful that 10% of my own government orders can be implemented after I issue them.
As for the welfare donations allocated to the lower class, they were consumed by layers of eating and getting the cards, and they became the pocket money of these nobles.
To this day, the Countess, who always thinks that he is very skilled and can be at ease at all levels of power, finally wants to slow down his pursuit of power in his heart and begin to look back and reflect on whether his actions are right.
Opening the huge bookcase, Victoria gently brushed the classified files with all the political decisions and policy promotions she made in the Sibor territory after she inherited the throne of Earl.
In the past, these files were my proud capital, but now?
She took out a volume, which was written as "Documentation and Renovation Ordinance on the Old Town in East West Borburg."
Because of this decree, the slums in Sibor were basically renewed, but most of the indigenous people were driven to the villages outside the fort, and the gold coins paid were not in place due to the corruption of the nobles. However, the relatives of the nobles who lived in the new city were all the relatives of the nobles. The appearance of the city had changed, but for this, countless people lost their homes where they lived for many years.
Is this worth it? Is this right?
