Chapter 79: The Unusual Rock City
“Your Highness, in the current situation, it’s best for you to wait in the residence for news.”
Stanton’s face was full of worry. The current situation of the Imperial City could indeed be said to be unstable.
“Have you chosen a suitable person to consume the Lafite that I brought back from Alan last time?”
Olivia no longer had a willful look on her face. Her solemn little face made her look much more mature.
Her father’s sudden death caught her off guard. According to her plan, it would still take some time to complete the progress.
“Your Highness…”
Stanton tried to persuade her again but was interrupted by Olivia. He stopped persuading her and told her about the current situation.
“The original plan was to find only eight people in the 20-man team. We can completely trust them, and their strength has reached the standard.”
“As for the plans of the first prince, the second prince, and the third princess…”
Olivia smiled and said as she looked at the chief knight who had a solemn expression when she her three elder brothers and sisters.
“Three defeated dogs. There’s nothing to be afraid of. What you should be most worried about is the fifth prince who hasn’t made any movements. Go investigate what his plan.”
Olivia’s confidence infected her chief knight, and his expression relaxed a little.
“Yes, Your Highness. Then I’ll focus my investigation on the fifth prince.”
Stanton responded, and the two continued their discussion on the next item.
Not mentioning the undercurrents in the capital, Rock City had also become unstable recently.
The sky was gloomy, and the residents in the city were like gunpowder barrels. They were irascible just because of a small matter.
“If you want to leave, then leave! But don’t even think about getting a single cent from me! Look at yourself now, even a pig is better looking than you!”
The man’s angry roar did not scare his usually submissive wife. Instead, she seemed to be provoked by the curse and became fierce, shouting back at the man at the top of her lungs.
Similar scenes kept playing out in Rock City. Homes, shops, and streets. These scenes could be seen everywhere.
The governor and the administrative officer were almost burned out because they had to deal with all kinds of small disputes. The governor’s mansion did not have enough manpower.
Recently, Alan also felt that the customers who came to the tavern to drink were not in a good mood. They usually made joke and mocked each other, but now they would fly into rage when they heard it.
Just like that, Rock City finally received news from the capital after a period of time. The old monarch had passed away, but he did not leave behind any information about the new monarch.
When Alan heard the news, he finally understood why Olivia had left in a hurry during the harvest festival. He did not know how she was now.
Just as Kramer and Severino worried about the news from the capital, they brought the news to the tavern.
“The situation in the Imperial City is really not good…”
Kramer sighed and whispered to everyone at the bar counter.
“Not only the Imperial City, but our border is not necessarily that good either.”
Severino added.
Alan, Wayne, Dorje, Abraham, and Yupanki all listened to the news brought by the two with serious expressions.
“The neighboring city is in chaos now. I heard that the knights of Roders are hiding in the city now, and even the soldiers outside the city are creating all kinds of chaos.”
Kramer’s face was solemn as he talked about the latest news.
“Rock City seems to be very irritable recently. Kramer and I have to deal with a lot more things every day than before, and they are all trivial matters. I don’t know why…”
Severino’s face was full of helplessness.
“I have the same feeling. Recently, the customers in the tavern are very easy to get angry. A small matter can enrage them, but they’ll stop after we interrupt them. I thought it was because of the recent weather.”
After Alan said that, Wayne also expressed that he had the same feeling when he was in the blacksmith shop. It was like there was a rage in his blood that kept irritating him.
Abraham fell into deep thought. He had some clues about everyone’s recent situation. The gray fog that shrouded Rock City was the same thing as the gray fog in the Abyss.
If one stayed in such an environment for a long time, one would become particularly irritable, grumpy and impulsive. In the Abyss, only those who were over 800 years old and those who had cultivated to a certain level would not be affected.
Ai Xiaohei leaned on the bar counter and listened to everyone’s words. Her furry cat face was full of worry as she looked at Alan.
As if sensing the Ai Xiaohei’s worry, Alan reached out his hand and gently rubbed her little head, comforting her in a soft voice.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. Moreover, the tavern is very powerful.”
Xiao Bai’s face was full of envy. He also wanted his master to stroke his head so gently.
In the dog’s mind, the image of Lolita stroking his head and praising him with a bright smile appeared in his mind.
“Xiao Bai, if your dog’s mind continues to run wild, I’ll chop off all three of your heads!”
Lolita had just gotten two glasses of wine from the table when she saw her stupid dog actually looking at her with a disgusting smile. How could she tolerate this?
The little white dog’s expression froze. It looked wronged and lied on the ground to play dead with regret.
Abraham pulled Lolita to the side and whispered something behind the few humans who were talking.
Seeing Lolita’s expression, Abraham’s words made her feel conflicted.
The magic power in Ai Xiaohei’s body had been completely replaced. On the first day that she came to the human world, the magic power contained in the high-level Lafite did not kill her. It was a blessing in disguise, after being cleansed, the magic power in her entire body had become incomparably pure.
Training in the Abyss was very easy, but the difficult thing was to remove the impurities contained in her magic power.
Ai Xiaohei was not a magic beast with very strong talent and strength. She was just lucky to meet Demon King, and after being taken in, she had more opportunities to train. But because she had been greedy for a quick training in the beginning, she never removed the impurities in her body’s magic power.
In the end, she almost caused a disaster. Fortunately, she was saved by Demon King at that time but she couldn’t continue cultivating.
After coming to the human world, Ai Xiaohei underwent a thorough baptism. It was equivalent to a rebirth. She was very excited to be able to cultivate again in the human world.
In addition, she was very satisfied with her current living situation. Although she was threatened by that powerful and terrifying female elf, Alan protected her. He was indeed a good man.
Not only did he give her his surname, but he also treated her as his family. Ai Xiaohei was very grateful to Alan.
She would often be conflicted. On the day when the Abyss attacked, should she return to Demon King’s side or betray Demon King and stay by Alan’s side?
Judging from how much Alan doted on her, if she left him, how sad would he be.
At the thought of this, Ai Xiaohei’s emerald-like cat eyes were instantly filled with tears. The original bright green color could not be seen clearly.
Alan did not expect that a kitten would have so many strange ideas in its head. The ability of her imagination was no less than that of his previous life.
After drinking, Abraham returned to the blacksmith shop and took out his diary after a long time.
Hailar Calendar: xth day after invading the human world.
I have been in the human world for a long time, and I started to question Demon King’s plan to conquer the human world.
The human world is a good place. With my friends here, life in the human world is very pleasant!
But the recent atmosphere made me feel that it was not long before the door to the Abyss opened.
The next time the door opened, Demon King would most likely come to the human world. I wonder if I have the ability to save my friend’s life when that time comes.
Sigh.
Wayne saw Abraham’s sigh, and before he was discovered, he averted his gaze.
He truly treated Abraham as a friend. Even if he had some ulterior motives in taking him in in the beginning. After getting along with him for a period of time, he knew that he was a good person, it was completely different from the Abyss demons described in history.
But looking at his recent state, Wayne could only think of what the Abyss was going to do. Perhaps the day when everyone separated would soon come.
