Chapter 451: Chapter 193 Golden Wheat City_2
Then someone exclaimed loudly: "Ahhh, quickly catch that damned goat, that’s my favorite flower!"
A Dwarf’s war sheep was chewing in the flower bed.
However, no one paid attention to his command.
The servants didn’t dare to act at all.
These people clearly looked like they were not to be trifled with.
Rushing up bare-handed, were they supposed to punch the armor on their bodies?
Shalika smiled and said, "Let it eat. It’s like eating this snack, isn’t it?"
"What did you say?" The noble lady turned her head.
Shalika smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt, for helping manage this estate while I was away.
But now that I’m back, in a few days, I’ll host a banquet to express my gratitude to you all."
"Haha, it’s good to have you back, it’s good to have you back, then we’ll take our leave first."
Rolf wiped the sweat off his forehead and waved to the servants.
Quickly they clamped the woman’s mouth shut and forcefully dragged her away.
They mounted the carriage outside and soon disappeared without a trace.
Watching their retreating figures, Colin couldn’t help but say: "It seems the Commerce Association might have completely fallen into his hands, they wouldn’t give it up so easily."
Shalika looked at the remaining servants and rubbed her forehead.
"Let’s first see how things stand now."
Inside the castle of Golden Wheat City, atop a spire.
A middle-aged man dressed simply yet gracefully was drinking wine, overlooking the entire city from the tower’s balcony.
"What was that team just now all about?"
From this tower, he had seen Shalika’s strange team enter the city.
"Miss Shalika has returned."
"Shalika? Oh, I remember now, wasn’t it said she had died in Vitra City?"
"That’s just a rumor, but now this young lady has returned."
"Hmm, interesting, they actually ride on Land Birds and war sheep.
I remember those war sheep are the mounts of the Gray Mountain Dwarves, aren’t they?"
"That’s correct, sir."
This noble stood on the balcony looking down, murmuring to himself: "Gray Mountain Dwarves... I recall the Prince mentioned that these dwarves seem to have joined some faction."
The butler behind him said, "It’s the Night Watchers."
"Night Watchers, huh? It seems the return of this Commerce Association lady is not a coincidence."
After pondering for a moment, the noble said, "Send someone to Lubeck to find out what’s happening there."
...
Lubeck City.
At Kana’s resting place.
At this moment, George was reporting urgent information.
"The cultists who worship [Zan Skull Lord] have started to act, they’ve taken away some able-bodied refugees."
Upon hearing this, Kana slightly narrowed his eyes.
"Go notify the Holy Light Church, we’re preparing to take action."
George, who was about to leave, quickly turned back and said, "The cultists of [Desire Incense Burner] have also started to act, they’ve selected young women from among the refugees and taken them into the city."
Hearing this, Kana was momentarily stunned.
Bobo said, "Are they trying to use the [Zan Skull Lord] cultists to draw our attention?"
These people were not acting as they expected last night; these nobles’ thoughts were much bolder.
They showed almost no reverence for the Prince and the Holy Light Church; otherwise, they wouldn’t act so overtly after understanding the situation.
However, Kana slightly shook his head: "That’s possibly one reason, but more so, he thinks we won’t dare do anything to them.
After all, they are the nobles here, so what if they take a group of young women from the refugee camp?"
At these words, Lurik furrowed his brows.
George and the others also frowned; they hadn’t encountered this kind of situation before.
Here, they were either dealing with Dwarf Elves or people under the Count.
The Count, with a goal of vengeance, always acted like a noble from a book.
Bobo, who had some understanding of these human nobles, could only say: "Are we just supposed to watch this happen?"
At this point, Miguel West, who rarely offered suggestions, said, "Why not intervene a little, using the identity of the elves?"
The two elves following Kana were Miguel West and Lululuse.
They recently also realized, just as mentioned before.
Their presence could slightly deter some nobles from speaking rudely to Kana and avoid some troubles.
Considering whether they could do something with this identity.
After saying this, the group was unsure if it was feasible.
Only Kana.
After smiling, he directly said: "No need to be so complicated, dispatch some Assassin-type [Night Patrol] to follow them.
Find a good opportunity, kill all the cultists, remember to disguise well, and use humans for the task."
These words from Kana shocked everyone.
So brutal?
George couldn’t help but say: "Are we just going to assassinate them directly like that? Isn’t that too crude? It might expose us as the perpetrators."
"That’s why I asked you to find the right opportunity, targeting them as they start their ritual.
Eliminate everyone, then rescue those people; the traces of the ritual won’t fade easily.
By then, they will only uncover two results: one, the nobles were part of the cult and ultimately became sacrifices due to the cultists’ deceit.
The second is that the nobles were innocent, and the cultists turned them into sacrifices.
No matter which outcome, the resulting conflicts will have nothing to do with us."
After all, they had just arrived and had hardly interacted with any nobles, not even speaking a word to them.
