Chapter 104: The Fall of Greenland
The black dragon with an unhappy face walked on the deserted street with the maid on his back, not to mention pedestrians, and some of the owners of the houses had disappeared.
They fled the city, and some of the people who had spare money left, and together with the merchants and nobles, fled the 'terrible' city.
The bombings and the battle over the noble manor in Greenland, southwest of the city, today, weighed down their already tormented nerves.
The broken nerves destroyed their will, and after packing up their belongings, they fled the city, and the little trust they had in the king and the nobles also dissipated, although they may not be able to escape far, and they may not be able to survive, but they just want to escape from the city.
The people who feared losing their lives in the chaos fled, and the only ones left were the 'poor people' who had no money to leave or were reluctant to leave - and these people were the subjects of the 'new' Greenridge in the Krylov III plan.
Regardless of whether they have official status or not, regardless of ethnicity, as long as they are still in Greenlander at the time of the census, then they will be able to obtain the status of a 'Greenlander'.
The streets were bleak, and the few shopkeepers who were still open leaned against the doors of the unfrequented shops, looking at the empty streets in anguish and despair, and even when Cervantes walked past the door with Serena on his back, he only raised his eyelids to look.
As the capital of a kingdom, Greenland was very wealthy, and the Greenlanders also had nicknames such as 'Rich King' in other regions, but only a few people were rich, and for the commoners, 'a home' was almost all their possessions, and the family's savings were not enough for them to leave Greenland and live elsewhere.
A group of tired city guards passed in front of the black dragon and the maid, and the first one glanced at the family crest that Cervantes had worn on his chest to avoid trouble, sighed, and passed by them, continuing to patrol the royal capital, which had just begun to appear.
They were sent by Krylov III in order to prevent some bold people from taking advantage of the chaos to do evil things during this period, this is Greenland, even if it is 'broken', it is also the royal capital of the Kingdom of Kolo!
Over here...... There are many cultists.
The bustling Greenlanders were gone, and the afternoon sun shone on people's bodies, but these 'leftover' Greenlanders did not feel the heat of the sun at all, but felt that they were naked in the wilderness of winter—their bodies were cold, even their hearts and blood were cold.
At this time of the year, Greenland was very lively, no matter which city it was, it should be full of people, laughter and talk should fill the whole city, make this once bustling city lively, and this bustle will continue until before eleven o'clock in the evening, after eleven o'clock, the drunken drunk will return home to sleep, and at this point, Greenland will fall into silence until the next morning.
But now Greenland has lost its excitement and ushered in confusion.
Confused people sit at home, seemingly idle, while desperate people look up to the sky – and yet the sun is still shining.
The maids, who were lying on Cervantes' back, saw the Templar Guards patrolling the streets, maintaining the last order for the king, but their faces were as disappointed and confused as many people.
Although the temple guards all have their own beliefs, they are now confused about the future of themselves and their families.
The maid looked at the scene and sighed slightly.
Greenland may be in a depression for a while, and it will be up to Krylov III to recover after that, but a period of economic depression is already predictable.
In the end, the two of them failed to kill the Abyss Alchem and Estem, and let them run away except for the summoned Horned Demon.
Not to mention Estem's heart snatcher, no matter how weak the abyss refining demon is, it is also an abyss refining demon, and the extremely ferocious appearance is easy for people to ignore them, even if they are among the best minds among the devils, as a member of the legendary race, the abyss refining demon failed to write its own legend, but after all, it is also a 'legend', if you just want to escape, you can still run away.
However, the black dragon and the maid both made them pay enough price, and they were all injured to varying degrees, and the abyss refining demon also broke half of its arm, and it was impossible to recover in a short time.
They didn't care what happened to Duke Valho, it was the work of Krylov III, and it had nothing to do with them, so they didn't check on the situation in Duke Valho's estate.
Since the devil appeared there, then he must have nothing to do with Duke Valho, and now it is not impossible for Krylov III to directly frame Duke Valho for 'murdering the two great nobles', after all, he had this suspicion before, and he had both the time and motive for committing the crime.
The great nobles of the local faction were turned against one and two were assassinated, and the Duke of Valho was not clean, and in the end, the Marquis of Elfaro was the only one who could carry the banner, and it is not known whether he was also 'clean', but at least it seems that he is still 'clean' for now.
The black dragon returned to 'home' with the maid on his back, and at a glance he saw Daniel pacing in front of the door and Marina with a surprised look on her face when she saw them return.
"Madame, sir, you're back!"
Marina moved so loudly that she woke up Anna, who was asleep leaning on her shoulder.
"Miss Serena, you're finally back!" Daniel was also pleasantly surprised.
Perhaps feeling a little rude, he hesitated for a moment and bowed to Cervantes, "I've seen the Duke." ”
"Duke?!" Marlena and Anna exclaimed in unison.
They only knew that their lord was a nobleman, but they did not know that he was a 'duke'.
Any Kolo knows that there were only two dukes in the kingdom - there were originally four, but after the rebellion more than 500 years ago, two dukes were permanently removed, and the title of Marquis of Elfaro was supposed to be 'duke', but was demoted for helping the rebels in a rebellion, and it took more than a hundred years to become a marquis.
Since then, there have only been two dukes left in the kingdom, which is the main reason why the kingdom is now scattered and fragmented.
Anna glanced at Cervantes suspiciously, and always felt that he could not be a duke, not only because there was no problem with the shelf, but also because he was too naïve, let alone a duke, and the aristocratic image in Anna's mind was not at all the same.
But the man in front of him, who looked like a nobleman, had no reason to deceive them...... But the duke lives in this shabby house?
Daniel hesitated with an embarrassed face, "Serena...... Madame, that, I want to ......"
The maid lay on the black dragon's back, squinted her eyes and asked, "You're leaving Greenland too?"
"Uh, yes, yes......" Daniel replied.
"So you don't want this house?"
Daniel was silent, but finally sighed and said dejectedly, "...... Yes. ”
Daniel remembered the urgency he had seen before, and he couldn't help but feel a heat on his face.
"Of course, we can, and we are not black businessmen who buy and sell. The maid said with a smile.
It doesn't matter if this house is sold or not, they are not poor and crazy, and the two thousand 'Latinia' gold coins can be said to have drained the family property for a small nobleman like Daniel, and he only came to discuss with them at this time, which means that he really used two thousand 'Latinia' to buy this house before.
deceived such an honest person, Serena was really a little reluctant.
Daniel blushed, took out the deed, stuffed it into Cervantes's arms, and then bowed his head and took his butler into the carriage, no longer having the slightest nostalgia for Greenland.
Cervantes took the contract, looked at the departing carriage, and squawed: "Phew!
The maid knocked him on the head angrily and amusedly, then looked at the paper contract and laughed, not knowing what she was thinking.
"It's been so long, it's time for us to go home......"
