Chapter 326: Lanqi's Visit to the Snow Province Ends
On the walls of Kingston City, the pale white light of four o'clock in the afternoon shone obliquely, and the coldness of the snowfield gradually deepened.
Walking along the road, the entire edge of the city wall is still covered with fine white snow. This silver-white coat that has not melted for a long time makes the texture of the stone bricks brighter in the sunlight.
Lanqi's meeting with the lords was almost over.
Tomorrow, after completing the tasks assigned to him that only he as the governor can accomplish, he will leave the Snowfield Province and head to the Northern Border Province further north.
"By the way, from Professor Mechi's incident, I heard that an investigation team came to the Imperial Capital. It was because of the information you revealed to these visitors from the Imperial Capital that you further misunderstood him as me. I am a little concerned about what they specifically said to you."
Lanqi turned around and asked several city-state lords.
Several lords suddenly looked embarrassed.
After the final investigation, it was found that Professor Mechi was actually a cadre of the Ghost Party. He once taught at the Protoss Royal School of Magic, but later resigned and went to live in the Box Mountain Province. He took advantage of the current situation, information gap and his strong ability to incite, and found a good opportunity, and almost broke into the internal senior management of the Snowfield Province.
If Professor Mage and Viscount Bonn were really allowed to collude with each other and take control of the Snowfield Province, the consequences would be disastrous. They would probably pay an irreparable price before they could even find out the truth.
It can be said that in this matter, no matter how the governor who saved them punished them, they would not complain.
The lords glanced around briefly and exchanged glances, and finally it was Viscount Leven Kingston who spoke first.
"Recently, there was a rumor that Bonn, the northernmost city, received an unidentified refugee who claimed that something terrible had happened in the north. However, after we sent people to contact the northern border province, we found that this was not the case. We couldn't even find out the identity that the refugee claimed to have. It was as if this person was fabricated out of thin air. His mental state was also obviously not right. He was quickly sent to the hospital, and then he committed suicide."
“Have you ever been on a field trip to the North?”
Lanqi stroked his chin and nodded.
In fact, from the conversation with Viscount Kingston, Lanqi knew that the investigation team had an order prohibiting the disclosure of intelligence, so if he asked directly, the lords might be vague, or it would be too much trouble to get all the key information.
Judging from the route of the investigation team, Lanqi probably had some guesses that it was most likely related to the northern border province, which was the final destination that Chloris entrusted him to investigate. Even Chloris's father, Duke Morodian Berenhard, the holder of the [Original Slate - Undead], disappeared in this northern area.
"This matter is too absurd. It is said that not only our Snow Plain Province, but other northern city-states have also received similar refugees. This has attracted the attention of the imperial capital, and they have dispatched an elite investigation team led by Major General Fan Leiku."
The lord on the side added.
"Major General Fan Leiku..."
Lanci muttered to himself.
Lanqi had heard of this imperial general in the imperial capital. He was born into a noble family in the Protoss Empire and received strict military training and strategic education since childhood. When he was a teenager, he showed extraordinary command and combat capabilities. Now, at the age of 35, he is already a well-known seventh-level strongman and an imperial major general.
The Empire would send out Major General Fan Reku, presumably because the potential threat of the situation is greater than it currently appears.
"It's very scary now. The residents can't get in touch with the south, and the traffic in the north is temporarily interrupted. The communication sites in the north are often unstable. We are very worried that enemies that we can't resist will emerge from the north at any time. The main garrisons are in the northern border provinces and the northwest provinces. It is unlikely that the imperial capital will allocate forces to concentrate on this snowy province where the city is mainly snowy and the area for construction is relatively small."
"The track was still in operation at that time, and the spies we sent to investigate arrived at the site and verified that there was indeed no problem."
While Lanqi was thinking, another lord sighed and said.
In fact, there shouldn't be too many problems, because the war has not yet started, and the northern defense line has sufficient garrison force, so nothing will happen.
It is more likely that there are spies from an enemy country trying to spread panic and suspicion in the north.
"What kind of horrible thing would make you care so much?"
Lanqi asked again.
Now that everyone is together, linking this matter with Professor Mech's blunder, they naturally dare not be perfunctory. Seeing someone speaking and breaking the ban, they have nothing to be afraid of and just speak freely.
His sharp questions were like a cold dagger, making everyone present feel the tense atmosphere in the air.
The nobles looked at each other, their eyes filled with uneasiness and hesitation. Some swallowed lightly, while others stroked their lapels subconsciously.
In this silence, there was only the sound of slight breathing and glances exchanged between each other.
Finally, Levin Kingston slowly took a step forward. His eyes became firm, and the wrinkles on his face and his silver-gray hair added a bit of calmness and majesty to him.
"The refugee said..."
Viscount Leven Kingston paused, finding it difficult to organize specific words.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"The northern border province has been massacred and has been dyed a scarlet land."
He said in Lanqi's ear.
Although no one would believe this absurd news, it sounds too frightening to them, especially in today's wartime atmosphere. Once it spreads, it may cause a lot of panic even if its authenticity is low.
“…”
Upon hearing this, Lanqi fell into deep thought again.
He stood on the city wall and looked into the distance. The snow-capped mountains were vaguely visible in the frost and snow, and their outlines could not be seen.
The place where even Chloris's father disappeared seemed extremely dangerous.
If he went alone, he would probably die.
I originally thought that I would be absolutely safe with Ba Jiaoxiong, but now it seems that if we continue to go north, there may be dangers that even Ba Jiaoxiong may not be able to deal with.
Something seemed to be brewing in the far north, and was invisibly approaching the critical point.
"Asksan, do you want to endanger the empire?"
Lanqi opened his lips slightly and muttered silently, looking towards the north where frost was crisscrossed in the wind, his emerald green eyes were like a bright lamp.
Something has gone wrong in the north which is guarded by the Bishop of Silent Destruction. No matter what, the primary responsibility lies with the Bishop of Silent Destruction Asksan.
He, the Grand Governor Rocky McCarthy, will definitely get to the bottom of everything and expose all the crimes to the public in the imperial capital of Helrom! (End of this chapter)
