This Paladin is so despicable!

Chapter 182 City Lord’s Confession

This night, the fog had receded before the sun rose.

The demon of lies has fled, swearing that the crisis in Harbor City has basically been resolved.

Although he has not been able to put the lie to death on the spot, in Wright's view, the other party is just a grasshopper after autumn, unable to jump much.

But until now, Wright still couldn't see any information about Dragon Island from the other party's behavior.

Could it be possible that the strange disappearance of Dragon Island has nothing to do with the devil of lies?

That's just a kind of Dragon Island, isn't it an act of self-protection?

With this doubt, Wright and others ushered in the rising sun of a new day.

Although part of the strong negative energy last night was absorbed by the Demon of Lies, the rest all entered Lilith's belly.

This little devil had a full meal at night.

Now I'm still lying in bed, digesting yesterday's massive amount of malice.

Although the forced promotion made her slightly injured. But if this plan is taken as a supplement, the benefits will be multiplied several times.

But this battle still caused some damage.

Wright, Emily, and Alice were all more or less injured in the duel.

A day of rest is also for better recuperation.

At the same time, it is to solve the final mystery.

Without breakfast, Wright took Unica, who had been hiding in the warehouse all night, towards the city lord's palace in the upper city.

The only thing he hasn't figured out yet is the relationship between the town of Hegro and the serial killer.

Judging from the fact that the Demon of Lies gave up all the murderers and pirate scimitars in the end, but only kept the fish bone sacrificial knife.

The serial killings should still be an unknown ritual as originally inferred.

And if you want to understand the reason for this, you can only ask the city lord.

"Stop! The city lord's palace is in front of us!"

When Wright came to the gate of the city lord's palace, the sentry on guard blocked their way.

"Mr. Wright, are you here to see the Lord of the City? I don't know if you have made an appointment in advance."

"I……"

Before Wright could say anything, a guard hurriedly ran out of the city lord's mansion.

"The city lord's oral instructions are given, please come to the city lord's palace to speak to His Highness Wright."

Wright raised his eyebrows and actually called himself His Highness. It seemed that the other party knew his identity as the Holy Son of the Holy Light Church?

If this is the case, then things are actually simpler.

The soldiers guarding the door quickly retreated, and Wright immediately led Yunika and drove straight in, directly entering the city lord's palace.

Unica seemed a little nervous when she entered the city lord's mansion for the first time.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Today, we are here to investigate. You are a police detective! You have to stand up!"

"I...um!"

Unica took a deep breath and her eyes became much firmer.

Under the leadership of the guards, Wright and the two came to the study room in the castle of the city lord's palace.

The pot-bellied city lord was holding a book and standing at the window looking out. And outside, there is the endless sea.

"Your Highness Wright, you are here. Should I say we met for the first time, or did we meet again?"

Wright pulled up a chair very familiarly and sat down, crossing his legs.

"The Lord of the City is so happy. Reading, looking at the sea, life is full of joy."

"Your Highness is joking. It's just a useless pastime."

"Actually, I had a pretty good impression of you at first. You can manage Kedros Harbor City to such a prosperous level, and you are considered a capable city lord.

Although there are conflicts between Shangcheng and Xiacheng, in today's world, you can handle these conflicts relatively well.

To be fair, before the thick fog appeared, the people here lived and worked in peace and contentment, which was a remarkable political achievement.

But...I'm not here today to praise you. "

Wright's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone became cold.

"So, should I ask, or should you just tell me?"

The city lord laughed: "I'd better say it directly, I'm afraid that His Highness might make some omissions when he asks.

Things should start from thirty years ago. "

I don’t know what kind of mentality the city lord was waiting for Wright’s arrival, but after meeting him, he directly told everything about the past.

It's not so much a confession as it is that after waiting for so many years, I finally have someone to talk to.

"That year, because I offended someone I shouldn't have offended in the imperial capital of the empire, I was sent to this remote fishing village and became the city lord.

At that time, Kedros was not a decent city, but more like a market that was put together by several nearby small fishing villages and eventually developed into a small town.

My family's sphere of influence is not here, so it cannot provide me with any convenience or care.

I started from scratch and developed this small town bit by bit.

Eventually, it was built into a decent seaside city.

This city has put my heart and soul into it.

But as the city develops, there are naturally people who want to pick peaches.

There are still people in the empire who are interested in it, and the family thinks that I have good abilities and wants to transfer me back to the family's sphere of influence so that I can be used by them.

But after all this time, I have fallen deeply in love with this city and consider it my own child.

I didn't want to leave, but no one wanted to help me.

Just when I was desperate, Hai Clan extended an olive branch to me. "

Wright immediately sat up straight: "Sea Clan? Are you sure it's the Sea Clan?"

"Yes, and he is also a royal family among the sea clan!"

The city lord was very confident: "They helped me stabilize the situation easily and kept my position as city lord.

But the price is, let me find a small and independent fishing village. "

Unica stood up excitedly: "Is it Hegro?"

"I didn't know what it was called until I found it. The reason why I haven't been able to find it is because the outskirts of this small fishing village are surrounded by a thick layer of fog all year round."

Wright raised his eyebrows: "This is the first time I've heard of this. I wonder why those people at the fishing port didn't mention the fog?"

"They live in a fishing village and have never thought of leaving. Naturally, no one has noticed that outside the fishing village, there is a thick fog that blocks the sky and the sun."

The city lord chuckled: "Those mists seemed to be alive. I tried my best, but I couldn't get deep into them.

In desperation, I had no choice but to inform the Sea Clan about the information, hoping to get their help.

The Sea Clan quickly responded to me and introduced me to a powerful and mysterious team of magicians.

And they assured me that with their help, I could easily break through the fog and enter the small fishing village.

As for what to do after entering the fishing village, you just need to listen to the magicians.

I didn't think much about it at the time and just agreed.

Unexpectedly, this move not only caused the destruction of the fishing village of Haiglo, but also pushed the seaport city of Kedros, which I built with my own hands, into the abyss of crime. "
