Chapter 576 The brewing storm

"Hey, did you hear that?"

"Last night, there was a fire in the City Lord's Pavilion."

"Last night? Not this morning?"

"To be precise, it should be said before dawn today."

"No? Is this news true?"

"Won't you go and see it? The City Lord's Pavilion has been turned into ruins!"

"I saw it! It really turned into ruins!"

"No...don't you think this is ridiculous?"

"Yes, what kind of fire can burn the City Lord's Pavilion into ruins?"

"That's the City Lord's Pavilion there. There are so many oasis knights, so many magicians, and even the City Lord himself. How could he let a fire burn down the City Lord's Pavilion?"

"I heard that this is a problem of the Ministry of Magic?"

"Ministry of Magic? Could it be that those magicians were studying something weird again that caused the entire City Hall to be burned down?"

"It's not surprising. Those guys have criminal records. Didn't they accidentally blow up a Ministry of Magic research facility just to study magic bombs?"

"But this time it's the entire City Lord's Pavilion..."

"I still can't believe this is true..."

"That's right……"

In Sinyeleli in the early morning, comments like this appeared on various streets and spread at an extremely fast speed.

The city main hall was reduced to ruins and burned into a sea of ​​fire. This news could not be hidden at all and quickly reached the ears of every resident of Xinyele.

Some residents didn't want to believe it all, some were dubious, and some even went straight to the city main hall. It wasn't until they saw the charred ruins that they believed it was true.

All of a sudden, all kinds of rumors came and went, causing a lot of turmoil in Xinyele.

Someone is keenly aware of the problem here.

"The City Lord's Pavilion was really burned down?"

"It's impossible. With that person here, no matter how big an accident happens, it will be suppressed. It's impossible for the entire city main hall to be burned into rubble, right?"

"But it did happen. The City Lord's Pavilion, which was reduced to ruins, is located there, and we haven't had time to clean it up."

"...There must be something going on here that we don't know about."

"No, we have to send someone to check."

As a result, various characters began to appear.

Some of them were lawless men who had difficulty moving due to the restrictions of the City Lord's Pavilion, and some were high-level officials of major forces. They were shocked and unbelievable that the City Lord's Pavilion had fallen into such a state. They then sent out people to investigate, intending to find out what happened. Everything that happens inside.

No one believed that the city main hall would be burned down due to an accidental fire.

As long as the city lord is here, no matter how big an accident is, it won't cause any trouble.

Since this happened, it proves that there must be some major event here, which caused the city lord to be unable to deal with it and could only let the city lord's pavilion turn into a sea of ​​fire.

Many thoughtful people who realized this could not suppress their confusion and curiosity, so they unanimously chose to send people to investigate the truth and try to know what happened last night.

However, when these interested people took action, they discovered that what happened in the city main hall last night had actually been sealed.

All the people who were still staying in the city main hall before dawn, whether they were knights, magicians, combatants, or technicians, were all given the same name and were not allowed to tell the slightest detail. .

In other words, the message is blocked.

Moreover, it was still blocked with the highest level of confidentiality.

If someone ignores the gag order and tells what happened in the city main hall yesterday, it is basically equivalent to leaking city secrets and will be punished with a crime equivalent to treason.

Therefore, the people who were sent to explore the news ultimately returned in vain, but instead aroused the suspicion of all interested people.

"In the end what happened?"

This is the most important thing in the minds of everyone who pays attention to the City Lord Hall.

Unfortunately, they obviously couldn't solve this doubt and get the answer they wanted.

Today, Xinyele is living in various commotions that are either superficial or secretly turbulent.

The entire Xinyele became undercurrents and gradually fell into chaos.

…………

Sinyele, Cavalry Branch.

This is the branch of the Knights Department located on the east side of Xinyele and closest to the main hall of the city.

In the past, the main function here was to allow the knights sent by the City Lord's Pavilion to stay. These knights were responsible for the security of the entire east side of Sinyele, which was equivalent to a small branch of the City Lord's Armed Forces.

But today, this place has been expropriated and has become the temporary residence of the city lord.

"boom!"

In a luxurious room, a vase was severely broken.

The injuries on his body had obviously been treated, and Sglanto, who was no longer seriously injured, stood in the center of the room with a ferocious look on his face.

"Lege Brighaut...!"

Sglento held the amber blade and roared while slashing it down with his sword.

"boom!"

The sword light flashed past, shattering the floor, shattering many pieces of furniture, and also shattering a wall at the end of the sword light, blasting it into pieces.

Such a violent movement would naturally not go unnoticed.

But the people in this branch could only stand there and tremble, not daring to hit the city lord's gun.

"hateful!"

"hateful!"

"hateful!"

"hateful!"

Sglento vented his anger, constantly destroying things in the room, and even destroying the room itself, so that this exquisite room was soon demolished into a wasteland.

"Huchi...huchi..."

After an unknown amount of time, Sglento stopped his hand and began to breathe heavily.

Of course, the anger in his chest has not subsided, and his eyes are full of bloodshot eyes, as dangerous as a ferocious beast that chooses people to devour.

"Since I became the sword master and the city lord of Xinyele, this is the first time I have suffered such a loss and been made so embarrassed."

"Lege Brighaut..."

"You're fine! Very good!"

"I will never give up until this revenge is avenged!"

The anger in Sglento's chest has completely turned into flames of hatred, and the more it burns, the more violent it becomes.

Just when Sglento was not relieved and couldn't help but want to wave the amber blade in his hand again, a voice sounded behind him.

"I think it's better for you to calm down."

This is a very cold voice.

His voice was as cold as frost. It could no longer be described as indifferent or callous, but almost emotionless.

When he heard this voice, Sglento stopped what he was doing, slowly turned his head and looked behind him.

I saw a person appearing in the corner of the dilapidated room at some point.

It was a girl who was in the shadows, unable to see the whole picture, but exuding a chill.

The girl did not step out of this shadow. She leaned against the wall, folded her hands, and hung a weapon on her waist. At first glance, she seemed to have a low sense of presence, but in fact she exuded a fatal temptation and attraction all the time.

It can be judged from the other party's voice and figure that her age is probably the same as her appearance. She is in her prime and definitely not old.

But such a young girl didn't even show any signs of wavering when faced with the fierce gaze of a veteran swordsman.

"What?" The girl said expressionlessly, "Do you still want to do something to me?"

Sglento did not answer this question, but looked at the girl coldly.

"What are you doing here?" Sglanto's attitude was much worse than usual, and he said gloomily: "Are you here to see my joke?"

"I don't have that kind of interest." The girl said calmly: "I just came to talk to you about what happened last time, but the result..."

As a result, I found out about the City Lord's Pavilion, and roughly what happened after sneaking in. I also understood what happened to Sglanto.

"Frankly speaking, I'm surprised." The girl said: "Li Ge Brighaut, the man who broke my record and became the youngest sword master in the Akasha continent, can even defeat you. I'm afraid even "Tian Shou" can't think of it, right? "

Hearing this, veins popped up on Sglento's forehead, and his fists were clenched tightly.

"...There won't be another time." Sglanto roared: "This kind of thing...will never happen again!"

"Next time, I will definitely kill him."

"kill him!"

Sglento's low roar only earned the girl's pity.

"I heard that he defeated you when his magic power was blocked, right?" The girl said mercilessly: "If his magic power was not blocked and at full power, could you really kill him? ?”

"I can!"

Sglento turned to the girl sharply and screamed hysterically.

In response, the girl looked at Sglento with not only pity, but also contempt.

"I can't even accept the reality. Is this the city lord of Xinyele?" the girl said unceremoniously: "I'm starting to doubt whether cooperating with someone like you is the right decision."

"Are you here to provoke me?" Sglento exuded a fierce aura, stared at the girl, and said: "Don't think that I really dare not do something to you."

"I don't care whether you dare or not." The girl said calmly and calmly, "If you want to fight, I will accompany you at any time."

The girl held down the weapon at her waist.

Sglento glanced at the weapon with fear, then took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.

"I agreed to the cooperation you proposed."

Sglento said this.

"Are you finally willing to agree?" The girl raised her eyebrows and said with a sneer: "Didn't you always resist me mentioning this matter with you before, and encountered the so-called taboo in your mouth?"

"...That kind of thing doesn't matter now." Sglento clenched his fists and whispered: "Now, I just want to kill that guy."

"In order to achieve this goal, I want to get the thing in the ruins."

Hearing this, the girl's eyes narrowed slightly.

But she didn't say anything, turned around and left.

"We will set off once you are healed."

After leaving such a sentence, the girl disappeared.

Sglento stared at the other person's disappearing back, his eyes red.

"Wait, then……"

"We will meet again soon..."

In the dilapidated room, a voice like the low voice of a ghost kept sounding, making the air turn cold.
