Mysterious journey

Garen went to Bai Fenglin Academy and didn't find his cousins, so he knew something was wrong. It is very likely that they are following the fleeing team and planning to leave the imperial capital.

He had never wanted to interfere too much with his cousin's life, he just wanted them to live quietly. Try to keep yourself out of their sight as much as possible, and don't let others around you easily discover your relationship with him. After all, as the Lord of the Black Fire Palace, he had a bad reputation, so it would not be a good thing to be associated with him.

Although the forces with true intentions cannot hide it, it is better than completely making it public.

But I didn't expect that the result of this was that my cousin misunderstood her own strength, so she didn't listen to her own opinions and went to Bai Fenglin Academy, which didn't look good but actually had a rich background. Instead, she was persuaded by Sylvia to evacuate with her distant relatives.

When Garen realized this, he immediately rushed to the evacuation point. The big lake behind the secret mechanism set up a checkpoint directly at the only entrance and exit. Everyone who wants to enter must pass his inspection.

After blocking several groups of people, I successfully stopped my cousin and the others. After some persuasion, Hathaway and Dani left the team.

That group of teams was killed by Garen casually and left in despair.

Carrying little Dani in his arms, Garen rushed directly to the Royal Hospital of the Imperial Capital. Most of the doctors chose to leave with the nobles. Only a few old doctors did not leave. It must be that they are older and can see some things more clearly.

In the pure white ward

An old doctor in a white robe took the thermometer out of little Dani's mouth, and then rolled her eyelids and mouth. He asked Hathaway, who was waiting anxiously, for some details.

"It should be that he was frightened, and his heart was overloaded for a short period of time. He will be fine after a night's rest." The old doctor finally concluded.

"Excuse me, Doctor Hurley." Hathaway thanked him quickly.

Garen also thanked him.

Hurley nodded lightly.

"I have other patients, so I'll leave first."

"Let me ask, how many patients are there in the Imperial Capital now?" Garen suddenly asked.

Hurley glanced at Garen. He knew the master of the Black Fire Palace. Not only did he know him, but he was also very familiar with him. Because the Royal Hospital has dealt with too many people who were executed or executed by him.

For this person, despite his high position and authority, Hurley didn't like him.

"Why should I answer you?" He stabbed stiffly.

Garen was slightly stunned. Seeing the old man running over in a hurry, he thought that his reputation had frightened him, but he didn't expect that he was still a tough old man.

A young green-haired nobleman on the side suddenly became furious.

"Looking for death! How dare you speak to the palace master like this!?"

Clang!

The man drew his sword from his waist and stepped forward, ready to take action.

Garen raised his hand to stop him. He looked carefully at the cold old man in front of him.

"Interesting. It's rare for someone to know my identity and not be afraid of me."

"I'm going to die anyway, so why should I be afraid of you?" the old man replied stiffly. "Enough people have died in the imperial capital. One more person is not more than me, and one person less than me is not a lot."

He glanced at Hathaway.

"Okay, since it's not a serious injury, I'll leave first. There are still many patients over there that I have to deal with."

"Excuse me, doctor." Hathaway quickly thanked him again.

Watch the old man leave directly.

It was rare for Garen not to get angry. It was rare to meet an ordinary person who had no power but was not afraid of death.

"By the way, cousin, where is your colleague?" He suddenly realized that he didn't see the woman.

"She didn't follow." Hathaway shook her head. Indeed, no matter how much her family went too far, they still planned to take them away together. Without knowing Garen's identity, they were indeed willing to give the three of them a chance in life. But once Garen arrived and killed several people with his bare hands, the relationship immediately changed.

No matter what, it was impossible for Sylvia to leave with them on the spot. After all, she is still a member of the family. There are relatives she cares about, and there are also relatives who care about her.

"Next, cousin, you'd better go to Bai Fenglin. I've already made arrangements there." Garen said with a frown. "Bai Lan and Andaluma Lin are both over there. They are all familiar people to you. Don't worry about not seeing your acquaintances when you pass by."

"Um"

Hathaway was like a child who had done something wrong, lowering her head and not daring to look into Galen's eyes.

She felt as if the situation was reversed. In the past, she was scolding Garen from this perspective, but now it was the other way around.

Garen was already half a head taller than her without realizing it. I originally wanted to muster up the courage to retort, but when I thought of the embarrassing identities of the two of them, I suddenly lost my courage.

"Okay, okay." Garron gently hugged Hathaway into his arms. Patting her back. "It's okay, it's okay. If anything happens, I'm here. I will take care of you."

The cousin's limp body was a little stiff, and she leaned into Garen's arms, feeling that their chests were close together. A strong sense of security surged into my heart unconsciously.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have listened to you." Hathaway bit her lip and whispered.

"You took care of me before, now it's time for me to take care of you." Garen let go of her. Although he didn't have as deep feelings for this cousin as Ahashia had before, he could still feel that she was sincerely good to him.

If others treat him sincerely, he will not treat them falsely.

"Okay, after Dany has rested, I will send you to Bai Fenglin Academy." Garen said in a low voice.

Suddenly the ward door was knocked open.

Bang!

A young man in white slim-fitting clothes hurried through the door.

"Garen, is Dani okay?!"

"Bai Lan?" Garen recognized the person immediately.

"I searched everywhere in the city! I just couldn't find Sister Sophie and the others! I didn't expect you to be so powerful and domineering that you directly blocked the evacuation point and refused to let anyone go if you couldn't find anyone! It's really amazing!" Bai Lan took a look! When Hathaway and others were there, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and gave Gallon a thumbs up.

Behind him was a girl with a purple ponytail.

The girl has a delicate appearance and a tall figure. Like Bai Lan, she wears slim-fitting white clothes.

"Marlene! Are you here too?" Hathaway also recognized the person.

"Sister Sophie, where have you gone? Bai Lan and I sent people everywhere but we can't find you!" Marlene complained as soon as she entered the door.

"It's my fault." Hathaway smiled bitterly, and suddenly seemed to realize that the distance between him and Garen was a little too close. His face suddenly turned red, and he calmly moved farther away.

At this time, another girl squeezed in from the door, with flaxen shawl hair and purple eyes, like beautiful amber.

"Sister Sophie!" She immediately threw herself into Hathaway's arms.

"Andalu!" Hathaway was a little at a loss. In fact, she and Andalu knew each other best. When they left Vindman Manor, they were their companions all the way.

"It's great that you're okay!" An Dalu hugged Hathaway with red eyes.

Suddenly, she noticed that Hathaway seemed to be standing a little too close to Gallon beside her, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.

Bai Lan also noticed it at this time, and suddenly showed a look of understanding.

"Okay, okay, the girls are all in the room catching up on old times and chatting. Garen, let's go out and chat?"

He took the lead out of the ward.

Garen motioned for the two Blackfire heavy guards to follow and followed him out.

Outside the ward is a clean and tidy corridor. The two black fire heavy guards and the green-haired nobleman who wanted to take pictures of Galleon's horse had driven away all the other patients around them, and the surrounding room was quiet.

Bai Lan and Jia Long left a few totemists to guard them to ensure the safety of the girls, and then walked to an empty ward on the left.

Garen noticed that Bai Lan was accompanied by a short, fat man with a strong aura.

Judging from this aura, this guy is at least type three or above.

Enter the ward and close the door. Garen turned his head in the direction of the fat man.

"Okay, you're doing well! Being a type 3 totem master as a guard is quite a luxury!"

There were only two people in the ward, and Garen let go, not keeping up appearances like outsiders.

"That's not as good as you." Bai Lan suddenly laughed obscenely. He leaned over and whispered,

Garen was immediately stunned.

Bai Lan changed her aristocratic demeanor outside and had a lustful smile on her face.

"So you ate Marlene?" Garen took a long time to hold back his words.

"Of course, don't look at who I am!" Bai Lan pulled her hair from her forehead coolly, looking very handsome. "But after all, Marin is still not as good as your cousin, tsk tsk." Bai Lan was obviously starting to fantasize.

Garen gave him a hard kick on the calf.

"You dare to commit adultery with my Galen fiancée, you're going to die!" He laughed and cursed.

"Ouch!" Bai Lan exclaimed in pain, "I'm just fantasizing, there's nothing to lose! I told you, I was thinking of pursuing Sister Sophie at the beginning, if you hadn't suddenly appeared as a fiancée. , I guess I have already launched a fierce offensive!"

"What should you do, Marlene?"

"Of course we'll sleep together! We all share a bed." Bai Lan was obviously starting to fantasize again.

"You guys have been having a good time lately." Garon pointed out.

"That's natural." Bai Lan chuckled, "How about you hang out with me for a few days?"

"I'm busy with work. Do you think everyone else is as free as you, with a grandpa supporting you?" Garen couldn't help but give him another kick. This guy used to be quite a serious person, but recently he has become more and more arrogant.

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business!" Bai Lan stopped laughing after having enough fun. "When I came here this time, I brought my grandfather's instructions. After Your Majesty left, the layout of the imperial capital changed. Since you have no plans to leave, you must also know the secrets deep in the palace. Right?"

Garen was not surprised. Bai Lan's grandfather, Bai Nock, was a top expert in the empire. Unlike him, his rise was too short. Bai Nock had countless trump cards behind him, and he naturally knew a lot of secrets.

"What does your grandfather mean?"

"Our family supports the eldest princess. Duke Cody also intends to compete for that position. They support the fourth prince, probably intending to use him as a puppet. The four forces that can really determine the situation in the imperial capital now are the four forces." Bai Lan said seriously.

"Which four strands?"

"My grandfather, the Grand Duke of Whitenock and the eldest princess are one group, the Grand Duke of Cody and the fourth prince are one group, and there is also the support of Minister Vesga. Then there is Lord Aydin, the master of Silver Palace, and the remaining forces of the palace controlled by you. And finally a little league.”

"Little league?" Garonne said, "What little league?"

"The War Guild, the Dark Night Guild, the Mercenary Silver Lantern Guild, the Kuwaitan Chamber of Commerce, and the Workshop Masters Guild. The small alliance of five organizations has been established a long time ago, but it has never been exposed to the public. They represent almost Most of the middle and lower-level forces in the country also have many trump cards that cannot be ignored. Although there are not many top experts, there are many high-end totem masters who dare to fight hard. They cannot be underestimated. This is the exact words my grandfather directly asked me to tell you. .Don’t underestimate them.”

"Oh?" Garen naturally will not underestimate this small alliance. It is a small alliance, but he is not very clear about the strength of these five unions, but he is also a member of the power of the War Guild. Knowing a little bit about the inside story, it is indeed not very strong, but it cannot be considered weak either.

The other four are tied together, obviously not much worse.

"My grandpa called this small alliance the five-color alliance, because their public alliance flag is a mixture of five colors." Bailan brought the overall situation of the imperial capital to Garen.

"Now the entire imperial capital is divided into four parts by these four forces. Among the three major areas in the city, the palace area is occupied by you and the Lord of Silver Palace. The Yunguang area is occupied by Duke Cody. The trade area is occupied by the Five Color Alliance and my grandfather. After all, The trade area is the largest.

"What about the outer areas outside the city?"

"Everyone has given up." Bai Lan shrugged. "There are too many nobles who have fled. Their tenants and laborers, as well as many guards, have poured into the imperial capital. Now it is too late to maintain order. After hearing that the monster is attacking, who else dares to Are you going to die in the city?"

Garen nodded.

"Where are the three major agencies? No one is left?"
