The city lord's assistant looked back frequently, unable to believe what was happening to him.
I was targeted by Sarah and Adam but survived...?
"Um."
It seems that Adam is still on their side, so he will lure Sarah away next, giving Lu Lianna enough time to find the true identity of Flalende Sanatorium.
The city lord's assistant regretted that he could not tell others about this encounter - it contained too many secrets that others should not know, such as Lu Li, Anna and Sarah Adam were "friends", and Anna's identity.
Maybe we can talk about it after it's over, assuming he's still alive by then.
They returned to the city hall, and the people in the square in front looked at Lu Li and Anna with the same awe. They already knew that the spectacular scene just now was caused by these two people.
Walking into the city hall along the stone steps, City Lord Valentine raised his head behind the podium: "You are more powerful than I thought. This made me firm in my choice."
"This is the evacuation plan, please take a look."
Valentine pushed several pieces of parchment in front of Lu Li who was approaching.
Lu Li picked them up.
Explore the secret passage as soon as possible, then establish a safe zone at the other end and evacuate the citizens of Flalund City.
Residents in the safe area will be the first to enter the secret passage, while rescued residents in the infected area will be arranged to the safe area to avoid chaos.
The secret passage leading outside the city is the core of the evacuation plan. Before the plan can be implemented, they must first ensure that the secret passage itself can be passed safely.
"What can we do?" Lu Li put down the parchment.
Valentine said apologetically: "Almost all are needed... There are still a large number of citizens in the infected area. We don't have enough manpower and protective clothing. Only two people have the ability to isolate them. There is also the possibility of exploring the secret passage.
After getting into the dandelion, we don’t have the resources and time to burn the entire secret passage at once, so we need the help of the two of you.”
"Anna's ability is only to disperse dandelions, not to find and destroy them. We can't do the second thing." Lu Li answered.
Valentine was a little regretful: "Then please take a rest first. After exploring the secret passage, I need your help to save the citizens of Lunde."
Lu Li did not refuse. He really needed a quiet room to rest while waiting for Sarah Adam to be far enough away from them.
A waiter led Anna Lu to the guest room on the second floor of the city hall and brought two steak salads and red wine.
Except for the red wine, both steaks and salads were eaten by Lu Li. Anna turned off the light, and in the deserted darkness, quietly guarded Lu Li as he left this land and entered a worry-free dream.
At noon, this unusually large group of dandelions still enveloped the land.
The quiet room continued, disturbed by a light knock on the door.
Anna put on her robe and opened the door. She thought that the secret passage had been explored, but it was another thing - the city lord's assistant brought an old man and claimed that he knew the story of Flalund Sanatorium.
"Go and talk outside." Anna didn't want to disturb the sleeping Lu Li, but at this moment? Lu Li's voice, which had become gentle because he had just woken up, came from behind.
"Let him in."
…
An old man with two conspicuous age spots on his face is sitting by the fireplace? The city lord's assistant is standing behind him with his hands tied.
Lu Li sat on the other side, half of his face reflected in the fireplace.
"Little Dom said you wanted to know the story of the sanatorium." The old man said slowly. The assistant to the city lord behind him smiled awkwardly at the title.
"Yes."
"Can you tell me... why?" The old man raised his heavy eyelids. It seemed that there was an unknown secret.
"Some personal matters." Lu Li couldn't tell him about Sarah and Adam.
"Is that so... you must be here for that matter, right?" The old man's cloudy eyes were full of longing and reminiscence, and seemed to bloom brightly again under the firelight.
"They are indeed an enviable couple..."
Lu Li and Anna thought that the old man would tell the story of Sarah and Adam later - but unexpectedly? The old man told another story: the love-hate entanglement between a young man and an aristocratic mistress.
Lu Li didn't want to waste ten minutes or more listening to the old man slowly talking about irrelevant content: "There is a cemetery there, right?"
"It seems you know more than me... Yes, there is a cemetery there that only belongs to the two of them." The old man did not realize that they were talking about two unrelated stories.
Returning to the story itself? The story told by the old man is roughly about a young man who fell in love with the mistress of a nobleman at a ball. The mistress was a girl who had to sell herself for the sake of her family. Gradually they fell in love, but they were also noticed by the nobleman. The nobleman could not do it for the sake of face.
He chose to retaliate against the young man in another way - slandering the young man as a thief when he sneaked into the manor to have a private meeting with his mistress? And he took out his mistress's jewelry from the young man's pocket in front of his mistress.
The young man was beaten up by the nobleman and his men and thrown into the police station? The nobleman then put pressure on the parliamentarians and the police station to upgrade his punishment to hanging.
The mistress did misunderstand the young man at first, but on the day of the hanging, she overheard the sweeping maid whispering about the nobles' conspiracy, and ran to the hanging place like crazy. She arrived late, and when he arrived, her beloved man had already been hanged.
There was no movement in the noose. The grief-stricken mistress complained to countless citizens on the gallows about the nobles' conspiracy and mistreatment of her? Then she crashed to death on the gallows and died at the young man's feet.
This scandal is not enough to bring down a nobleman? But it is enough to make him cast aside by the people and ridiculed by the nobles.
The owner of the sanatorium in Flalund at that time? The political opponent of the nobleman happily announced that the lovers would be buried in the garden of the sanatorium and allowed people to visit -
The nobleman carried this shame to the coffin, and as time went by, the love story that was deliberately built to attack political opponents was gradually lost in time and failed to be passed down.
Sarah may have known about this at the time, and because she admired and respected their love story, she buried her body there - but judging from the real cruel and wanton actions of Sarah, it is more serious than the former.
Like Sarah digging up their bones, burying her own bones underneath, and accepting the admiration and worship of young lovers——
The old man, who was still sighing with emotion, was helped away by the city lord's assistant Dom. Anna closed the door, walked back to the fireplace and asked Lu Li: "We already know where our true identity is, shall we go now?"
"What time is it?" Lu Li asked.
"Twelve twenty."
"Wait a little longer."
Adam and Sarah had not left for three hours, and when they were farther away——
Lu Li still felt sleepy, but before his second rest, Dom ran over in a panic and told them that an accident had occurred in the secret passage, and there was a strange presence shrouding the middle of the secret passage.
