"False alarm?" The captain of the guard looked like you were fooling a fool. "General Nora, there are sounds of fighting inside. Please get out of the way. I want to confirm the situation inside personally."
"It's not a fight inside, but a discussion. There is an old friend of the Lord City Lord inside." Nora had no intention of getting out of the way.
"Master Nora, please don't make things difficult for us. This is a duty we must fulfill." The captain of the guard also fulfilled his duties.
"You don't trust me?" Nola had a hot temper. There are few barbarians who don't have a bad temper. She explained a few words for the sake of the other party's loyalty.
"How is that possible? Who doesn't know that General Nora is the most capable general of the city lord." The captain of the guard swallowed his saliva and complimented from the bottom of his heart.
In front of this adult, the pressure is not as great as usual, both in terms of body shape and the other person's temper.
"That's fine!" A smile appeared on Nora's cute face that didn't match her size. "I've already confirmed things, so I don't need to bother you."
"It's one thing to trust the general, but it's another thing to confirm the situation personally." The captain of the guard insisted, "This is our duty. If there is a situation, it would be dereliction of duty if we don't confirm it with our own eyes. If this happens in the army, No.
General La, what should we do?"
“This…” Nora was immediately confused.
Out of selfishness, she felt that at this time, it would be best not to let others disturb Zalanda from communicating with that person.
But in terms of military law and responsibilities, it would be unreasonable to do so.
Especially when the noise inside became louder and louder, it felt like the entire roof had been torn down.
There were already a dozen guards of the city lord who had gathered.
If he continues to forcefully stop him, even if he is now Zalanda's number one officer, they will have to draw their swords against him.
Just when Nora was hesitating whether to let them in or not.
A roar came from inside: "No one is allowed to come in...Leave this place to me...solve it yourself...Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed."
As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible energy shield rose up.
Even Nora who was standing at the door was forcefully pushed away.
This is the last defensive measure of the city lord's palace, which was activated by Zalanda.
This defensive measure is not located in a certain house, but on Zalanda's body.
This magical item is called Last Refuge.
The function is simple but powerful, that is, turning the house where the holder is located into an independent and isolated room.
Without the permission of the owner here, outsiders can neither enter nor the people inside can think of anything, including teleportation spells.
Immune to all physical damage because this room is no longer on the Material Plane.
It can withstand at least two eighth-level spell bombardments.
Unless the parties concerned voluntarily terminate it, it will last for a full forty-eight hours.
With this special magical equipment, Zalanda defeated more than ten assassinations from all sides.
Once this piece of equipment is used, it means that Zalanda has the absolute upper hand and is ready to keep the enemy behind.
This made the guards heave a long sigh of relief. This way, they no longer had to conflict with General Nora, nor did they have to worry about neglecting their duties.
Feeling relieved, the guards couldn't help but look at each other, because there seemed to be something wrong with Zalanda's voice just now, and it was not as simple as fighting breathlessness.
It has a slightly wheezing taste.
Everyone has been there before, so they naturally know what special circumstances would make such a sound.
But the city lord of my own family is a well-known workaholic, and all his thoughts are on Dalauma City and its people.
It's not that there are young talents who have deep confidence in themselves and want to win her favor and rise to the top.
The result was that he would either be thrown out by the general in front of him, or by the Lord of Zalanda himself.
Until one time, Zalanda was seriously injured. When the maid was helping her to remove her armor, she accidentally found a letter.
Only then did I realize that the Lord of Zalanda did not really have any special hobbies.
But she already has someone in her heart.
This person's portion is not averagely high.
Those who try to replace him are only bringing disgrace to themselves.
But this kind of thing is obviously not something they can discuss.
General Nora didn't seem like the kind of person to discuss such things with them.
The captain of the guard's expression did not look much better because of this, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, follow me. We need to thoroughly check all positions and alarm devices. No matter whether the other party is a friend or not, we need to find out who is the person."
How did you get in?"
The fact that the other party silently entered the room where Zalanda was was the biggest dereliction of duty of the guards.
This matter will not change based on the identity of the other party.
Noila didn't move a step, her heart felt like countless kittens, scratching and itching uncomfortably.
The fire of Bagua is burning brightly.
There are so many places to be curious about.
What exactly happened inside?
Why did Master Gavin suddenly come back?
How did this fight end?
Nora is one of the people closest to Zalanda.
And he is someone who has grown up with Gavin since childhood.
It is very clear how complicated the emotional entanglement between these two people is.
It can't be explained clearly by simply saying love and hate.
It's not even pure love, it's also mixed with family affection and friendship.
Just put it like that.
Gavin set a fire in Zalanda's heart.
Angry fire and various signs indicate that Roang's death is inseparable from Gavin.
The fire of love, a confession letter that is not a confession letter, makes people think a lot.
Fire needs fuel, and inner fire is no exception.
When the hatred and anger are burned out, all that will be left will be endless longing.
This is certainly the case with Zalanda.
Especially Zalanda is not a fool, not only is she not a fool, she is also a smart person.
Afterwards, I carefully reviewed Gavin's actions along the way, and found that his departure was not an accident, but a premeditated plan.
It had already begun at Nott Castle, including the deaths of Rohan and Ost, which were inevitable.
But everything has a plan.
This is even more true after the death of Rohan and Oster.
If Gavin stayed in Tethyr, it can also be explained by his plotting the Nott family inheritance and the title of baronet.
But the problem is that he gave all his power and wealth to Zalanda without taking any of it.
When I left, I was even more alone.
Zalanda is the ultimate beneficiary of this matter.
Without Roang holding her back, she could act according to her own will and soar into the sky in Dalauma.
In just six months, we created brilliant achievements and foundations that countless people find incredible.
Judging from the current trend, Zalanda is by no means limited to one city and one place.
Therefore, there is only one explanation left for this matter.
Gavin did not do it for himself, but for Roang, who was killed by Zalanda. Everything was done to pave the way for Zalanda.
But a new question came again. How was he so sure that Zalanda would succeed?
Combined with Gavin's previously shown ability to predict the future.
The soldiers and civilians of Nott Castle speculated that Young Master Gavin might have acquired the power of divine prophecy, and that he might have had some unspeakable reasons for doing this that they were unaware of.
When you have a good impression of someone, you will naturally find various excuses for him.
But those are all their conjectures.
Now that the person involved has returned, many questions can be answered.
Nora poked her head around to look inside, but unfortunately, all she saw was a layer of fog.
This room looks like it's still here, but actually it's not here anymore.
The battle in the room is still going on, but the offense and defense have changed hands.
Gavin is no longer a pure defender, but has become an attacker.
A naturally powerful gun that is used to perfection.
Zalanda is no match for him at all.
It’s just that Zalanda is not someone who is willing to admit defeat easily.
They soon counterattacked.
It seems that this is the only way to vent the emotions that have accumulated in my heart for half a year.
The moment Gavin and Zalanda completed their union, something reasonable and unexpected appeared.
Silver Destiny Milestone: Queen's Heart.
Queen's Heart: Because of you, Zalanda's fate has been seriously affected and distorted, and she has embarked on her own future destiny ahead of schedule.
The fate of countless people has been changed because of you.
Your reputation in Fort Nott has reached respectability.
Your reputation with Darauma has reached favorability.
Queen's Heart (Special Ability) - Your charm will be permanently increased by one point, and people's favorability towards you within Zalanda's sphere of influence will automatically increase by one level.
There is nothing easy to explain about this fateful milestone.
Everything is a matter of course. It has been accumulated since the beginning at Fort Nott.
It's just because of many things, Gavin's influence is indirect, and the effect is naturally not that fast. It needs to be accumulated as Zalanda's power and the number of people affected continue to increase.
It wasn't until the relationship between the two sublimated that it completely exploded.
The only thing worth mentioning is that this destiny milestone will inevitably be upgraded.
It escalated as Zalanda's power and influence grew.
Now that she is the lord of a city, she has started a milestone in silver destiny.
When she completed the unification of Tethyr and became the queen, her golden color was even higher than this.
After all, Tethyr is not a vast and sparsely populated valley. The population here is in the millions.
When he came back this time and first entered Darauma, Gavin felt as if he had returned to the human world again.
The sight of huge crowds of people is simply unimaginable in the valley.
The total number of people in the entire Battle Valley is estimated to be less than that of the entire city of Darauma.
Since destiny milestones involve destiny, of course the more people it affects, the more destiny it accumulates.
Zalanda's situation also verified Gavin's theory about professional levels.
She does not gain experience from destiny milestones, everything is directly reflected in her professional level.
When Gavin left Tethyr, Zalanda was only a seventh-level warrior. She is now a seventh-level warrior and a fourth-level mage.
It seems to be the same as Gavin, the professional level is only improved by four levels, but the gold content is not the same.
Not only her, it is said that the one who has grown the fastest is the King Kong Babinola.
She is now nicknamed General Fury, and is always at the front of Zalanda's queue. Her professional level has been raised by four levels, and she is a level 13 barbarian.
The Nott Cavalry, which is based on the Nott Militia, has been renamed the Nott Guards. It has a small number of people, only 500, but each one is a combat worker of level five or above, and is Zalanda's personal guard.
In addition, Darauma also has a city guard of 2,000 people, all of whom are combat workers.
The militia numbered five thousand.
This information was not told by Zalanda to Gavin.
It was the news that Gavin collected on his own after arriving in Dalauma secretly. Dalauma's actual background was far stronger than this.
It's just that the result of the inaction is that the logistics supplies cannot keep up, and it is only a matter of time before we fall into a food shortage.
"I'm waiting for your explanation." Zalanda was tired of being in Gavin's arms and didn't want to leave for a moment.
Time will smooth out everything, and time will ferment many things.
Zalanda's feelings for Gavin belong to the latter.
She has had feelings for Gavin for a long time, and the fact that she has never been in love at the age of twenty-seven is the best proof.
When exactly it happened, she probably couldn't tell.
But because the relationship was complicated and everything was unclear, Gavin dropped an unclear letter and ran away.
She had to reflect on this emotion. When the impurities were eliminated over time, what was left was naturally the most passionate emotion.
Zalanda has never been a sloppy person. Once she faces her own heart, she will accept it calmly.
