In his long-lost sleep, he seemed to have returned to that strange and bizarre world.
There, the girl with a vague face but a gentle voice hugged him from behind and whispered:
"What, are you sad?"
He closed the computer and smiled bitterly: "No, this result was expected... maybe I'm not good enough."
He lowered his head, a little frustrated: "You know, their requirements are very high..."
"It doesn't matter," a gentle voice breathed in his ear: "I have a way to make this matter less sad."
He raised his eyebrows and shrugged: "Oh?"
"Because there is an even sadder thing waiting for you."
He blinked, a little confused.
Just listen to her gentle words:
"let's break up."
He trembled all over.
The girl behind didn't speak.
He stiffly turned his head: "What?"
"Well, you heard it right, because you are a failure now," she said calmly, "so, I want to break up with you."
His brain stopped functioning, and he just stared at her blurry face, confused.
"Why... why?"
The voice behind him sighed: "Okay, it's settled."
He breathed in a daze, somewhat unacceptable. He wanted to defend something, but felt it was a bit redundant.
she……
At this moment.
"good!"
The voice chuckled and sounded happily.
"It's now ten seconds after we broke up - I announce that we are back together!"
"Ta da! Let me introduce my new boyfriend: Wu Feiren!"
His mind couldn't turn around.
What?
But after a few seconds, his heart started beating again.
He gasped and looked at her in surprise: "You..."
"How about it? Compared with the pain of being dumped just now, isn't it less sad?"
"When you encounter setbacks, you must cherish your 'crotch' and 'crotch'!" The voice laughed and breathed in his ear, making him feel a little itchy: "My name is Lei Feng, no need to thank me."
He was a little dumbfounded.
The voice said happily: "Very good, if you become a cheat again in the future, I will continue to comfort you like this!"
He took a deep breath and shouted angrily: "Damn woman!"
"Can you not be so serious about breaking up and getting back together, but joking about breaking up and getting back together?"
"I'll take it seriously, okay!"
There was a feeling of chin hitting my back.
"Oh, what's this," the owner of the voice said loudly while poking his back with his chin: "You don't know, there is a serial author on the Internet. Whenever the plot reaches a climax, he will not move his pen.
Write a 'complete book', say that you have finished the book, and then update the next chapter without saying a word, claiming that you are writing a new book - that is called reaching the pinnacle of excellence!"
"Then don't imitate him, okay..."
In my memory, that voice laughed happily.
His voice was filled with breathless annoyance and relief.
Finally, the noise stopped.
She lay lazily on his back and hugged his chest.
"Hey, Fei Ren, don't be afraid," she said in a low voice, "no matter what happens."
"I'm covering you."
He lowered his head and closed his eyes.
"Ah, I know."
"You are here to protect me."
The voice didn't speak, it just hugged him tighter.
But in just the next second, everything in the dream was like a reflection on the water, shattered inch by inch by the sudden waves!
The girl disappeared before his eyes.
In the midst of doubt, a cold and unpleasant female voice came to his ears. The tone was low and contained inexplicable emotions, which made people's hair stand on end:
"I'm watching you."
"I warned you!"
The next moment, Thales woke up from his sleep!
He was breathing heavily, and that sound...
That voice!
At this moment, a hand put his shoulder.
Thales turned his head in shock.
It's Gu.
The man who just shook him out of his sleep.
The Far Eastern man squatted next to him and looked at him with an unhappy expression. Next to him stood a little slippery man with a worried expression.
"Wake up, Prince of the Stars," the butcher shop owner said calmly: "The person you are looking for is here."
"So fast?" Thales braced himself and suppressed the scene in his dream for the time being. He rubbed his eyes and got up from the cold ground.
"He has many connections, so he didn't spend much time," Gu stood up and shook his head: "Besides, he is here to pick you up."
Thales was stunned.
He shook his head and woke up from the sleepiness just now.
"He came to pick me up?"
At Gu's signal, Thales and Little Huantou followed him out of the door of the butcher shop.
On the deserted street, parked was a two-wheeled carriage with a carriage covered with transparent cheap glass.
The driver on the carriage bowed his head respectfully, and beside the carriage stood a middle-aged nobleman with a golden ponytail, who exhaled.
"Your Highness, thank God!"
"Thank you for your help." Thales nodded.
"Time is pressing, please get in the car immediately." The middle-aged nobleman was obviously relieved after seeing him. He took off his hat and saluted Thales: "We experienced a wave of patrols after entering the armor area.
Although the interrogation by the patrol team looked very similar, I can swear that it was definitely not the patrol team in the city, and they were not even locals..."
Thales nodded with a solemn expression: "Of course, they come from the Black Sand Territory - Lumba has been planning for a long time."
While the middle-aged noble was stunned, Thales looked at the carriage.
"It's too conspicuous," Thales frowned: "Carriage? Transparent glass? Can we get out? And we have to go back to the Palace of the Spirits..."
The middle-aged noble digested Thales' news for a while, then raised his head to answer the prince's question.
"I used the name of Zenliu City Caravan to urgently unload important cargo from Kai District, plus the special order that His Majesty gave me before..."
The nobleman raised his cane and knocked on the wheel of the carriage: "And I happen to know an order officer who collects black money. After opening some joints and getting out of the blockade he manages, he will turn a blind eye and won't.
The news has spread..."
"As for the glass, please don't worry. This is a specially made carriage. You can only see me through the glass outside, not the rear. You can hide in the dark compartment if necessary."
Thales looked at the carriage and exhaled.
"Then let's go." He raised his head and looked at the blond nobleman from Camas:
"Marquis Slys Bermuda."
Shless nodded, opened the car door, and his eyes rested on the little slipper hiding behind Thales.
"Who is this?" He narrowed his eyes.
The little slipper shrank back in fear.
"My maid saved my life on the road, I can't leave her behind." Thales said calmly.
"Very good, let's talk on the way." Shless asked no more questions: "I also need to hear your explanation of what happened."
Thales and Little Slippery boarded Slys' carriage, Slys sat in front, and they hid in the space behind him and could not be seen from outside the car.
Just as the car door closed, Thales poked his head out: "Anyway, thank you, Mr. Gu,"
The Far Eastern man tilted his head, looked at him with a strange meaning, and showed an inexplicable smile.
"No need to thank me," Gu rubbed his hands and smiled mysteriously: "Thank Kaslan for the six and a half pieces of bread he gave me back then..."
"enough."
Gu turned around and walked towards his butcher shop.
Six and a half yuan.
I see.
Thales smiled.
The door closed and the carriage started.
Shless watched Gu's figure disappear behind the door and frowned: "How did you get involved with Longxiao City's famous intelligence dealer?"
"Accident."
Thales said simply: "A lucky accident."
Now, let’s get down to business.
The carriage drove through a section of streets.
He raised his head and looked at Marquis Slice in front of him:
"Please tell me, are the Palace of Heroes and other urban areas still in Longxiao City, still under the control of the Walton family?"
Marquis Shless frowned: "Before I entered the armor area, everything was normal from the White Blade Guards, palace guards to patrols and even officials."
"Of course, the king's departure from the palace, the raging disaster and the return of the dragon made some guests - including the grand dukes - emotionally unstable, but Prime Minister Risban tried every means to stabilize them."
"But," he changed the topic and whispered: "My informants in the Department of Order and the channels of my colleagues told me that His Majesty has never shown his face, and no orders have been issued. Only sporadic White Blade Guards are resisting.
Appeared after the disaster, but found nothing..."
"Everyone from the General Garrison to the General Order Department is very anxious. Not long ago, the Prime Minister was still discussing whether to ignore the king's ban and send a large number of patrols into the shield area."
Thales breathed a sigh of relief.
"So, the Heroic Spirit Palace and Longxiao City are generally safe?"
"Safety? After meeting the patrols who questioned us, I doubted it," Shless shook his head and said worriedly: "First of all, you have to tell me, what happened in the Shield District after the disaster raging? Your Majesty
Woolen cloth?"
"And how did you appear here?"
Thales took a deep breath, looked at Marquis Slys who turned around, and said word by word:
"King Nun was assassinated. He is dead."
Shless froze on the spot, his expression changed subtly, rising and falling with the bumpy carriage.
"The murderer is a man named Sariton, and the person who hired him is Lumba." Thales finished his words silently.
Little Hua Tou looked at them timidly.
"So, it seems this is true." After a while, Shless came back to his senses. He rubbed his gloves and cane and said subconsciously: "The king is dead."
"Exter...there's going to be chaos."
"Lite Mine Contract..." Marquis Slys looked at his cane in ecstasy, as if he was urgently calculating the gains and losses.
Thales remained silent and did not speak.
Soon, the carriage drove out of the Kai District and entered a roadblock composed of patrol soldiers and horsemen in the winding streets of Longxiao City - the martial law blockade had arrived.
Thales watched nervously as the driver talked to the leading order officer and put a letter and a money bag into his hands.
The order officer glanced at the carriage's glass, and Marquis Slys waved to him in a friendly manner.
The carriage was released smoothly.
Thales, who was lying on the ground with Little Slippery, finally exhaled.
"Don't worry," Shless smiled stiffly: "Businessmen have many connections, and they are very effective - it won't be a problem to deal with these low-level guys."
There were more and more people around the carriage.
The residents of the royal capital were everywhere talking to each other, some were in a state of embarrassment, or some were staying on the streets in ragged clothes. Many kind-hearted people brought food supplies to these poor people living on the streets.
"These are evacuated residents who have been homeless for several hours - at least not until the king's ban expires." Marquis Slys looked out the window and shook his head: "Of course, I heard about it,
Compared with the people in the shield area..."
But at this moment, there was a sudden loud noise outside the window!
I saw a man running from the street with an anxious look on his face, shouting loudly as he ran.
Thales and Slys both frowned and looked at each other in surprise.
The crowd began to gather together and followed the man's figure.
The surrounding discussions grew louder and louder, and soon turned into a commotion that filled the sky.
Immediately, the crowd began to lose control of their emotions. Some people yelled in grief and anger, some were hysterical, and some were shouting and cursing angrily.
Their carriage had to slow down.
Soon, the man disappeared into the crowd.
But people did not disperse. They still gathered in circles and used their loud voices to discuss heatedly in groups of twos and threes. There were many people who were excited, loud and even got into fights.
The character of the Northlanders is clear at a glance.
"What's wrong?" An ominous premonition hit Thales's heart.
"I don't know," Marquis Slys replied solemnly, "but we will know."
So, at the next street corner, Marquis Slys stopped the carriage on purpose.
At his signal, a patrol soldier who was maintaining order but was arguing emotionally with his colleagues was invited to the carriage by the driver.
Marquis Slys opened the car door halfway and stuck his head out.
"I come from Camas and am a partner of His Majesty Nunn," the blond ponytail noble handed out a silver coin with a friendly smile: "Can I ask what happened just now?"
The soldier seemed to have just experienced a heated argument. He was panting, looking at the silver coins in his hand, and was slightly stunned.
He raised his head again and saw the golden wheat ears and dagger marks on the carriage.
"Sir, this is such a big thing," the soldier calmed down his excitement. After he came to his senses, he seemed a little cautious and stammered: "You, don't you know..."
"So I need you to clarify my doubts," Marquis Slys took out another silver coin and said gently: "Just choose what you know."
The soldier looked at the silver coin in his hand again and subconsciously put it into his pocket.
"That's right," the soldier straightened his armor, shook his head, exhaled, and his face became a little ugly: "Your Majesty, His Majesty Nunn has been assassinated!"
Slice's expression changed at the right time.
"What's going on? How did you know?"
Thales hid behind the Marquis, gritted his teeth, and listened silently.
"I heard what others said," the soldier looked at the Marquis's reaction and seemed to be encouraged, and his words began to flow smoothly: "The whole Longxiao City is spreading rumors that the murderer, the murderer..."
Thales was shocked.
Marquis Slice frowned: "Who is the murderer?"
"It's those Imperials!" The soldier raised his head and shouted angrily: "They want to cause civil strife in Exeter!"
The soldier's words became more and more indignant, with anger and hatred in his tone: "The damn remnants of the empire, that star prince from the south... They colluded to cause disaster, and they also secretly ambush men and assassins..."
"The great born king was murdered in the Shield Zone!"
"Those bastards of the stars!"
Shless sighed silently.
Behind him, under the horrified gaze of Little Slippery, Thales leaned against the carriage in a daze, panting in a daze.
