The shouts of stopping did not come from Duan Qing's side of the investigation team's convoy, but from the crowd pouring out from behind the duchy civilian who had just been kicked away. The three or two people guarding the front then pushed the man who fell to the ground. The victim stood behind him and looked at the imperial soldier in front of him, whose head and face were protected by armor, with an uncompromising expression: "How dare you do it! Do you really think this is imperial territory where you can do whatever you want?"
"Anyone who dares to approach the convoy will be regarded as an offense to the Frey Empire." In the background of the convoy behind him, which was still moving slowly without stopping, the imperial soldier whispered in a warning tone: "No one is exempted. "
"What did you say?"
The excitement of the crowd seemed to reach a new height with the words and attitude of the imperial soldier. The crowd of onlookers who had been standing around and looked at them with cold eyes began to gradually come up: "If you can't defeat others, then you will be defeated." Can you do whatever you want? Our principality will not give in easily just because it is powerful!"
"..."
Without saying too many words, the imperial soldier still stood upright between the crowd and the carriage convoy. The enthusiastic scene of wanting to rush but not daring to rush later also appeared in the crowd of civilians of the principality in front of him, who was alone. Finally, accompanied by He became agitated as the three or two people who were blocking the front raised their arms and shouted: "It's too much to bully others! Let's fight with them!"
"Wait a moment."
Heavy footsteps came from behind the gathered crowd, accompanied by an even heavier shout. A player with a shiny head and a body covered in dark gold knight armor also appeared next. Among the crowd in that direction, a strong man who looked like his subordinates came over: "I saw what happened just now. Let's carry the people back first."
"What?" He stiffened his neck and turned his head. The leading player then said with his eyes raised: "What did you say? How dare you speak to the empire?"
"You are not from the principality, are you?" Another player on the side also raised his weapon with a bad look on his face: "Are you a spy who has sneaked into our principality? Let me tell you, even if you are blatantly showing off your power here, We won’t—”
"We are the swords of justice."
The powerful voice interrupted the other party's words, and at the same time, the dark skin of the leading bald knight player was particularly thick: "Tanya is in trouble for the first time, and now everyone is in danger, don't you hurry up and go to those who need help?" You are helping us somewhere, but you are causing trouble for us here?”
The self-announced home and the inexplicable momentum caused some troublemaking players to retreat a little, and also attracted the attention of some of the onlookers of the principality civilians and the imperial convoy not far away. They had already noticed this place. Duan Qing, who was making a move, then turned his attention to the leading bald knight player, and heard the angry voices of those who were frightened back two steps: "What? Do you want us to watch you?" Are people being bullied?”
After letting out a few deliberate jeers, the troublemaking players in front of them cast their eyes in the direction of the bald knight player: "And - are you the Sword of Justice? The one who quit the Eighth Congress after being broken up. Loser of the guild?"
"Instead of caring about our identity and past, it would be more practical to save two more people quickly." Without any emotional fluctuations due to the other party's deliberate ridicule, the bald knight player dissipated the sarcasm that was almost on the other party's face. Side: "Continuing to waste time blocking here is meaningless to Tania's repair work. If you still forcefully cause trouble, you will interfere with the efficiency of our mission——"
Snapped.
A loud slap then appeared in Duan Qing's hearing, a slap that was enough to make anyone's face feel hot when they heard it. Then everyone's attention was focused on the bald knight with a red mark on his face, and he waved. The player who was slapped showed disdain, and the figure who was half a head shorter than the other player also showed an arrogant look: "Entrusted work? Mission efficiency? I thought you were a big guild. What? You are here scheming and scheming every day..."
"We are going to cause trouble today, what's wrong?" He took a step forward, and at the same time put a ferocious expression in front of the bald knight: "If you can, use your momentum to beat us? The people of the principality are being attacked right now. Insult from the empire! I don’t believe you dare to bear such great injustice!”
"...Remember that you are Red Soul people, right?"
The eyes that were as motionless as a rock finally shifted a little around the opponent's face that was close to his. The bald knight seemed to have noticed the mark on the chest of the provocateur in front of him: "Let's write down what happened this time. .”
"Carry the injured down and tidy up the surrounding area." He shouted to the men behind him, no longer paying attention to the gestures of the player in front of him and began to give orders: "The commission time is until noon today, it must be before noon. Finish the cleanup!”
"Hurry up!"
As if they wanted to let out all the accumulated anger, several big-bodied players at the back of the Sword of Justice team then rushed forward with their heads squeezed. Their bodies, whose strength and equipment were completely incomparable, also intentionally or unintentionally He passed by the three or two provocateurs in front of him, "touching" their shoulders and flying to the side of the crowd. The onlookers gathered in this area hurriedly dispersed as these menacing people passed by. Their murderous eyes also prevented the others from daring to step forward to cause trouble easily. The ones with red handprints on their faces The bald knight then thrust his sword into the ground and looked at the imperial soldier he was facing with a dull light: "Sorry, I made you laugh."
"As long as the safety of the investigation team is not endangered, we will not easily interfere in other parts of the city." Putting away the hand that had been pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist, the imperial cavalry turned around and pulled his horse towards the slow Driving convoy: "I hope you can respect yourself."
"Since it is the decision of the Speaker of the Principality, we will naturally respond with goodwill to everyone's arrival." Looking at the back of the opponent mounting his horse and leaving, the bald player standing with a sword raised his voice a little higher: "I hope your The arrival will not bring greater disaster to the principality."
"……snort."
Looking back at the direction of the knight, the imperial soldier who let out a cold snort then left in front of a carriage that had just passed this place, and Duan Qing, who was sitting in the carriage, also withdrew his secretly observing gaze. , said with a sigh to the other people in the carriage: "Sword of Justice... I didn't expect them to show up in this place."
"They have always been regarded as a guild of the principality, and their activities are basically near Tania." Xueling Huanbing quietly replied: "It's just that because of the previous events, they have declined and they don't pay much attention now. It’s just a look.”
"Look at that guy named Chi Hun - he dared to humiliate them like this, and they didn't fight back. I don't even know how to evaluate them." He glanced at the bald player with golden armor who turned to leave, with his arms folded. Asahi Dongsheng also let out a cold snort: "Should we say that they are cowardly turtles, or that they are good at forbearance? Seeing that the leader's equipment is not a common product, it shouldn't be a problem for one person to kill three of the other party, right? ?”
"That's the 'Golden Skin'. It's a suit that not only has extremely high defense, but also has the effect of 'skill attacks with magic damage'."
A low voice came from the direction of Gedman, and several people turned their heads when they heard the sound, but what came into view was the silent back of the player holding the shield: "What did you just say? How did you know?"
"..."
Without answering the other party's words, the player named Gedman just looked out the window of the carriage quietly. The backs of the players who had left them gradually became blurred in the street scene of Yare Street, and finally together with His sigh echoed in Tania's desolate atmosphere: "Yes, even they have become like this..."
"What's the matter, Brother Goldman?"
"nothing."
The complex expression containing sadness, unwillingness and confusion finally turned into a touch of relief, and Goldman's voice returned to its previous calmness: "But there is still some information that can be obtained from the scene just now."
"In addition to the deep hatred towards us from the bottom of the principality, we can also find some other traces." He looked at the faces of Duan Qing and others, as if waiting for their response: "For example, the one who has been guarding the tower Lancun and Chi Hun, who is assisting the Principality’s Intelligence Bureau in monitoring us, seem to have been obstructing us.”
He pointed at the three or two guys at the far end who were still wandering and shouting among the crowd. His expression gradually became serious, and Duan Qing and others who were looking at him also understood. After realizing what Gedman meant, the solemn expressions between them gradually collided: "Wait a minute, if Chi Hun is also from their side, the situation may become more interesting."
"I heard that the fat man is the head of the principality's intelligence department and is very close to Pamir. If something goes wrong with him -"
"It's impossible. He has been with us in Tallan Village and rushed back immediately after the accident. Even if there is really a problem, it is because there is a problem with his men."
"In other words, is it possible that Chihun used the resources of the intelligence network to do this? They leaked information to the Restorers or the Destiny Alliance, which led to the attack on Pamir?"
"Except for special circumstances, Pamir will not deliberately hide his whereabouts."
Recalling the scene that had happened before his eyes, Duan Qing's voice then echoed around the carriage: "Fat Yang is also a die-hard supporter of Pamir, and this should not change."
"But there is still a possibility that Chihun can use the principality's intelligence network resources to cause trouble." Xueling Huanbing said the next words on Duan Qing's behalf: "The question is how far they have gone to the other side."
"The three players just now were obviously trying to stir up trouble." Duan Qing turned back and pointed in the direction they just passed: "That strong brother may have gone far away."
"Is it the guy named Aqiang?" In the gradually cooling atmosphere, Xue Ling Huanbing's eyes looking out the window also became a little lower: "When things stabilize..."
"Let's find another opportunity to get in touch with him."
The cold wind did not disappear for a moment because of the clear weather. The convoy that braved the cold wind finally arrived at its destination. The several principal soldiers leading the way also moved out of each other's way, leaving the investigation team's team behind. The motorcade arrived in front of Valletta Hospital. The hospital that became bustling due to the disaster also became more crowded due to the appearance of this large investigation team, which also added more pressure to the old building, which was also partially damaged by the earthquake. Her Royal Highness Princess Reina, who jumped off the carriage, also paused her eyes through the gauze hat in front of the hospital building for a while, and then passed her instructions to the royal magician beside her: "You guys wait here. On."
"But Your Highness." Upon hearing this, the foreign minister named Diploma hurriedly stepped forward: "You are too dangerous alone, so let us take control of this hospital first, and then-"
"You guys wait here."
The serious eyes full of majesty stayed for a moment around the imperial nobles who caught up. Princess Reina then repeated her order: "If I am afraid that Pamir will be detrimental to me, I will not agree to enter the city at all."
"...Tell the adventure groups to send people to follow them." She took two steps forward, then turned her head sideways as if she remembered something: "If there is danger, they will be there enough."
The gorgeous royal dress then dragged into the entrance of the front door. The mature figure full of the aura of a superior also forced the crowds crowded here to retreat to both sides. The steps belonging to Duan Qing and others who had just stepped off the carriage stopped at this time. A group of nobles who were left here hurried past, following the figure of the princess heading towards a certain direction on the upper level. As this process continued, the faces of the senior officials of the principality began to appear in front of these people, and their appearances became more and more familiar as Carlos, Fordson and others appeared one after another. Reina, who paid attention to these sharp glances, then walked into the door of one of the wards under the guidance of the guide as if there was no one around, and cast her indifferent gaze on the middle-aged man sitting on the hospital bed in the middle: " Are you Pamir?"
"Rena Frey Kadreft, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Frey Empire."
The middle-aged man seemed to have recovered to a good level. The middle-aged man nodded and replied with a smile: "It's nice to see you. Please forgive me. Due to my physical condition, I can only meet you in this way now. "
"I heard that you were assassinated in your own parliament hall." With her peripheral vision, she glanced at the fat man waiting around the bed and the other guys dressed as doctors standing further away, and Reina continued without hesitation. Said: "I will forgive your rudeness. After all, it is excusable to encounter such a thing."
"Thank you for your tolerance, Your Highness."
Unlike the hostile looks of those around him, Pamir, who was half lying on the bed, had a more genuine smile on his face: "My gratitude to you doesn't stop there."
"After all, it was you who brought my body back from the point of death."
