Perhaps most of the nobles were idle all day long, but after all, Abadan City was a military-controlled city. In addition to government affairs, there were also military affairs that needed to be handled every day. Therefore, the nobles who hold official positions in the city, especially those with military status, still abide by the discipline and arrive at the office at the same time.
Then after everyone met, they found a similar situation, and everyone's faces were not very good-looking.
Normally, there would be a few words of teasing, laughing at whether the other person spent the whole night in his mistress's bed. But this time, no one has the spirit to say such nonsense.
However, the fact that he was being targeted was not something worth publicizing everywhere. There is no conclusion yet as to whether it was done by political opponents around him. Who would dare to reveal it easily?
What should be done now is to step up the investigation of all possibilities and find out who the enemy is hiding in the dark.
Although the curse text used to warn people was written about the airship Sid. But few people believe that the goblins or barbarians associated with the Cid can do such a thing. Nine times out of ten, it is an excuse used by political opponents to mislead people. And the reason why he mentioned this matter was probably to attract others' attention with the unaccounted for terrorist weapon.
Even so, the nobles still found a familiar magician to carefully check the curse words. You must know that the biggest difference between curses and ordinary magic is that the strength of the curse depends on the will of the curser. Conventional magical means are only used to strengthen the effectiveness of the curse. Ordinary people who suffer from deep hatred may also break out a curse that even a great magician would find troublesome. That's why there are so many "cursed and strange objects" in Lost Land.
Fortunately, the words left by an unknown person in the middle of the night did not have any power, and were about the same level as someone swearing.
In addition to those gathered for government affairs, although the noble banquet originally scheduled for today was held as scheduled, all those who received the invitation also participated as usual. But the atmosphere at the banquet was different from usual. The depressive atmosphere was everywhere from top to bottom.
From the waiters walking among the crowd to the banquet host who should be the center of attention, today, they all looked at the people around them with sharp or fearful eyes.
The nobles were on pins and needles, and their men couldn't relax much. A group of people conducted overt and covert investigations, causing chaos in the city of Abadan. They even wanted to find the Thieves Guild to get information, but unfortunately all the capable people had disappeared, and the remaining minions were busy grabbing territory and were of no use at all.
In this way, everyone spent the first day like headless flies. Before going to sleep, not only the number of guards was strengthened. There was even one who was afraid of death and asked his subordinates to stand in a circle beside the bed. I just hope I can sleep well tonight.
But how could such an extravagant wish be easily realized?
The same harsh sound as yesterday, the same warning text, and there were even signs of the situation escalating. This is actually some simpler and more threatening methods that Lin, Fen and Haggiri discussed after their first day's experience. Like pre-made hand models, adding a bucket of red ink, and then randomly printing them in someone else's room.
And those who set up a human wall next to the bed directly asked the lich to take action to violently break the opponent's method.
The method is also very simple, that is, first hide the appearance, flash into the past, and imprison him forever, and then, in full view of the public, pull out all the weapons of protection and use them to nail the curse words on the wall. The imprisoned people were forced to stand like this until dawn, until they were kicked and insulted hysterically by the crazy nobles, and they could regain their mobility from the frozen state.
The turmoil on the second day was even worse than on the first day. Even in a defensive situation, he still couldn't stop the assassin's greetings. What if the next day he no longer just stapled paper, but directly demanded his life. How could the noble gentlemen accept such a silent threat?
Almost all the people who could be sent out to investigate the news were sent out. And the noble gentlemen no longer have the energy to pretend to be nonchalant. Almost everyone chose to stay behind closed doors, and even the scheduled banquets were cancelled. The upper class society in Abadan City seemed to have come to a standstill. It also affects the entire city, which is filled with a tense atmosphere of imminent storm.
Since the people above gave the order to die, it was inevitable that the people below would reveal their whereabouts inadvertently. When other people find out that someone is investigating similar things, of course they approach them cautiously.
As soon as they met, they realized they were old acquaintances. Asked again, everyone felt bad. It seems that in Abadan City, both the big and small nobles have received the same threat.
The biggest reason why numerical superiority can be relied upon is that the opponent cannot easily handle such a large number of enemies, so the only choice is to retreat or surrender. But if the numerical advantage is not there and they are threatened in this way, then they have to notify their respective masters and deal with them righteously.
At first, everyone regarded this threat as a very bad joke. What the nobles want is to find each other and then give them unimaginable punishment. Even if you can't do it yourself, there are always more powerful nobles in Abadan City who can do it.
But when everyone becomes a target at the same time and one's own life is really threatened, the nature of the matter is completely different. Because this means that the person hiding in the dark can kill all the prominent people in Abadan City in one go.
If you are safe, you must say some words that share the same hatred and hatred to make others feel that you are on the same side as them. The most ideal situation is that after others suffer losses, you can take advantage of them. But when one's life is already in danger, no one can maintain the same calmness.
Even General Javed Poole, the top administrator of Abadan City, is the same. Having the power to command the Tenth Legion would not bring him any sense of security.
Amid layers of vigilance, all the nobles gathered in the city lord's palace to discuss the predicament at hand. Even if it gets late, no one wants to go back; even if they do go back, I'm afraid no one can sleep. When everyone collected the cursed papers left behind and saw that they were all about the same thing, everyone couldn't help but consider whether this was really the reason why everyone was angry with that person.
"The Hilde." I don't know who it was, and the nobles all looked at Viscount Nia, who was accompanying the last person.
The origin of the relevant matters is not unknown to everyone. It was because his second son caused trouble with a group of barbarians and was severely punished. But the power displayed by that sword was too disgusting, and it disappeared later, so everyone agreed to force the original owner to come forward.
Regardless of whether the sword is in the opponent's hand or not, you must first determine the source of that disgusting ability, and then try to prevent or avoid it. The most ideal situation is to have that weapon in your own hands.
As for the rumor that the sword was Hakakiri, a legendary weapon, this was automatically ignored by all the nobles. Although hakakiri are rare, every empire has one or two in its collection. It's true that he can choose his master. Even nobles who understand the nature of Hakiri are not willing to own such a legendary weapon. But I've never heard of Haggiri being able to talk. It must be some other magical effect that no one knows about. That’s why we need to find out from the original owner.
But where those savages went, no one knew. The only clue was the airship owner Totokani, a goblin who had been active in Abadan City. According to the airport management officer, the goblin was not driving his original airship Hindenburg, but came with another airship Sid that was very strange in shape but extremely slow.
So if you want to find this group of people, you can only start with the airship. There are only a few methods, which are to restrict the opponent from leaving the ground, prohibit the opponent from trading and supplying, and the third is to seize the ship. However, when it comes to detaining a ship, you have to find a convincing reason. You can't do it just because you want to.
Noble. All I know is that those who are reckless are stupid young people who only want to cause trouble. Anyone with some skills would not first give themselves a fig leaf to cover up their true intentions. If we had a few more days to arrange, we could also find a reason to arrest the ship. But before that, we must first cut off the other party's possibility of supply and repair, so that they cannot leave.
Regarding the above, in fact, the administrators in Abadan City did not say anything about whether it was okay or not, they just acquiesced to such behavior. The executor will naturally be replaced by others.
Unexpectedly, he just nodded silently and pointed out a big trouble for himself. It would be a lie to say that General Javed Poole has no resentment in his heart. The people below him were not doing their job well enough to get out of hand, and he was asked to step in to deal with the aftermath. Is there any officer in the empire who is more troublesome than him?
Ignoring everyone's words and insulting Viscount Niya without a word, General Javid Poole said: "Viscount, Viscount Niya!──" He knocked on the table to stop others from continuing to speak, "──Anyway, this is This thing was caused by your son. Find a way to settle it for me. I only give you two days, two days, do you hear me clearly? If you can't deal with the person who caused all this, I will deal with you! clear!"
The general moved his eyes to the other side with a vague look. The people sitting and standing there were all sergeants. Among them, the seat at the end of the first row was occupied by Bailnia, the eldest son of the Viscount, a young man whom he had originally been very optimistic about.
But being implicated by his younger brother, Aka Niya, Bail Niya not only ruined the warriors of the empire, but also ruined another knight he also admired, Farzad, who was expected to reach the transcendent realm. .
So today's ultimatum is not only for his father, but also for this young man who originally had a bright future. He must make some achievements to give himself a reason to regain his confidence in him.
But at this time, a timid noble asked weakly: "Give them two days? Then, sir, what are we going to do tonight?"
Javed Poole felt a headache when he was asked this question. No one can guarantee that the other party will not come tonight; or that they can find a defensive method in time and sleep well. If all this is not resolved, then you have to endure the other party's 'warm' greetings for another night. What if the other person is crazy and doesn’t want to spend one more night? So what if we just kill the sleeping person?
Thinking of this, Javed Poole shuddered, and said directly: "I will go to the military camp tonight to inspect. The first brigade is ready. I understand."
"Yes, my lord."
All the nobles cried out and begged to follow. It was as if that smelly and dirty place was a paradise in reality.
