If it were in the City of Evernight, one could have never seen such a crowd except for a holiday or a celebration
All of a sudden, a speaker on the street caught her attention
"Hold on for a while" Edith ordered the troop to stop and joined the croith Cole
"Can you saood? Can you lay bricks? Can you take care of cattle and sheep? As long you specialize in so for! Go to Western Region There, His Majesty is building a new king's city—City of Neverwinter! Your talent will bring you a huge reward!"
"Talent?" Edith pondered on it for a while "What an interesting na's city? The City of Neverwinter? Is there such a city in Western Region?"
Pacing forward a little bit, she saw another group of people
"Witches are innocent This is the repentance the High Priest wrote down right before his execution," another speaker said, waving the docuhter, your sister!" If you're still afraid of them, send them to the City of Neverwinter! They'll be well taken care of If you hate to part with theo with theet an accoet a decent job!"
"Has the High Priest been executed?" Cole said with his eyes wide open
On the other hand, Edith frowned "If this is Roland Wimbledon's new policy, the way he promotes it's quite melodrae? That'll be nothing like the fight aainst the heresies
No idea whether it's a blessing or a curse to serve such a king"
It took her an hour to walk through the street leading to the inner city She found actually the street was full of such speakers who basically repeatedly told whatever His Majesty had done after conquering the king's city Anyone who ca's city only needed to listen on the street for half a day to understand the changes His Majesty had et any help from the Rats
"My Lady, I've found it out" The servant as sent to inquire about the news caught up with the teaht?" Edith interrupted hi a hotel now We're going to the palace to subue sense of foreboding "Now, hurry!"
"What?" Cole asked in surprise "His Majesty left the king's city a week ago? Without even holding an inauguration ceremony?"
"That's what the receptionist said," the attendant reported "At first His Majesty left a man named Barov Mons, his chief minister, behind to take care of daily affairs, but Barov Mons left the king's city yesterday too Apart from the servants, there's nobody else in the palace The receptionist said if you want to talk with the City Hall, he can pass the e for you"
"That's fine," Edith said in a cold voice She did not expect her hunch was right She had been traveling non-stop all the way, yet still was too late to catch up with Roland "Roland was really planning to move the capital, leave this splendid city behind, and rebuild a new capital city in Western Region! What's exactly in his head? To build a city on such a scale as the king's city would take at least 30 to 40 years!"
"What should we do?" Looking at the stunned ation, Cole asked quietly
After a long while, she said sullenly, "Turn around Head for the City of Neverwinter!"
"They've left anyway No need to hurry," Cole said with a bitter face "It's been a week since I took a shower last tirow on my body"
Edith turned her head and found her collar also shed "Let's find a hotel for the night We'll set off to, when the eation arrived at the dock, they found their boat had been burned to a skeleton
"What happened?" For the first time, Edith felt confused
"Ahem, don't be mad, sis-Miss Edith Observe more, think more" Cole waved his hand and stopped a passerby "The dock will catch fire as well?"
"Ah, you mean that" The passerby enthusiastically explained, "No idea who sneakily hid bodies on their boat The Rats who tried to steal so from the boat smelled it" You know, people are very cautious about such stuff After all, half a year ago a deue struck the city, which was exactly caused by the bodies distributed by the church Anyway, to deal with the is the safest way The captain has been arrested by the guards for interrogation Oh, do you know hi what face she should put on After a long silence, she uttered, "I don't know hiht "I guess this trip of loyalty won't go as sined"
