Chapter Nineteen After the Disaster

"Dang,dang,dang,dang".

The morning bell rings four times, awakening the sleeping Rose Capital.

The sky is hazy and the morning light is bright. For most people, they are still enjoying sleep in bed, but for this beautiful city, a new day has begun.

"Cruff", the inner city and the city gate opened at the same time, and the wheels were rolling, and the convoys and crowds that were waiting outside the city began to slowly pour into the city.

"Click," and the friction between gears and machinery came from the ground. The four towers on the edge of the inner city began to slowly retract from the ground, and the ground immediately closed, as if it had never appeared before.

The street lights went out one after another, and shops that were open all night closed their doors. Pedestrians slowly appeared on the street. People who woke up early were in a hurry and started working all day.

Soon, the first black smoke came out in the craftsman area, which was like a signal. Soon, several furnaces lit one after another, followed by the sound of jingling and pounding sounds. Smoke began to rise on the commercial street, and the aroma of bread drifted to the street with the smoke, arousing the appetite of pedestrians.

The sounds in the city gradually became noisy, and the silence of the morning was completely shattered. As time goes by, more and more citizens walked out of their homes, making the city lively.

This is the case every morning in the Rose Capital, but today is a little special.

Today's city is solemn.

All the people who go out wear plain clothes, and the colorful signs in various stores are not hung out. Most people have no smiles on their faces. When they see each other, they have no interest in talking.

Everyone is mourning the unfortunate deceased last night in their own way.

There is no way. Although there are strong people trying hard to stop them and warriors are concentrated in guarding them, the large rift broke out last night, and there were too many evil spirits in the void. No matter how hard the warriors work, they will inevitably miss the net.

Therefore, within half an hour when the explosion of the large rift to the end of calm, a total of thirty-four ordinary people lost their lives.

For the Pavatiga people, this is actually a very fortunate result. Not to mention the crisis-filled outside the territory, even within the city, they often face various dangers. A large rift of this scale broke out and only thirty-four people died. For a giant city with a population of nearly 100,000, it was surprisingly small.

But no matter what, the deceased are innocent and put their hearts on it. If it were themselves, no one would want to become these unlucky thirty-four people, and the others were still celebrating champagne. Therefore, everyone spontaneously mourned the deceased in a day of care, which was also to calm their inner fear.

The atmosphere in the Rose Capital is busy and solemn and heavy, and the atmosphere in the city lord's mansion is the same.

Messengers kept running out of the mansion and ran away, sending letters to various departments of the city. The magic information channels in the mansion and the magic area were also activated. Last night, they were sent to every city under the Duke through the quick contact between the magic towers and further transmitted to the Kora Capital.

The straight bloodlines were almost busy. Although not many people died last night, the loss of property was unexpectedly great.

No one expected that the strength of the large crack was particularly high, and even affected the city below, so that during the explosion in just a few seconds, the strong suction force caused serious consequences.

In addition to objects with hard texture, a large number of items were broken, and every household suffered a lot of losses. Fortunately, the equipment in many public facilities was damaged, and a large number of buildings were hit by heavy objects from flying, and urgently needed repairs. The problem of money is one aspect, and the key is that all trivial matters of disaster relief must be dispatched by the City Lord's Mansion. It can be imagined that in the next few days, the blood of the roses will be a hellish nightmare.

There are also relatively leisurely people, such as underage rose seedlings.

It’s just a little more leisurely. As the blood of the rose, you have to take responsibility while enjoying the interests of your identity. Even if you are underage, you have to start taking part of the tasks early.

Of course, they cannot be responsible for the work that is too important. Most of them represent the Qiangwei family to appease all forces in the city. The specific issues are the officials accompanying them. They only need to represent Qiangwei.

The more important the force is, the closer the bloodline of the person sent, and the more noble the identity is. Like the three children of Qiangwei's eldest son, the most important forces are responsible.

Layla is one of the three most noble young roses.

Layla, who is only nine years old, is the youngest among the three young roses, but also the one who is most favored by the Duke of Rose. For this reason, the Duke even issued an order publicly deprived her of the title of inheritance.

Yes, this is a special way for nobles to express their favor.

Since then, all the brothers and younger brothers have had a good relationship with her, and the elders have been particularly kind to her. After all, they are all a family. After no conflict of interest, everyone is still very close.

Being escorted by dozens of soldiers, the carriage slowly drove towards the suburbs of the city. The girl poked her head out of the car window and looked at the world outside the inner city curiously.

Unlike the inner city, the houses here are much more spacious and the flow of people is far less than those in the inner city. There are also large areas of green vegetation on the roadside. Everything makes the children who have not left the inner city several times in nine years full of novelty.

"Grandpa, is there really a dark moon?" The little girl's clear blue eyes flashed with curious light, "Why can't I see it?"

The girl asked about the old man in another carriage driving side by side. The old man smiled kindly: "Because it is the dark moon, it is too dark so you can't see it, but it does exist. Look, there is her temple in front of her."

Yes, the most important person to visit today is the several strong men who participated in the battle last night and the forces they represented. These strong men are the most precious resources for the city and must not be neglected. Moreover, yesterday they spontaneously came forward to face the enemy and solved huge troubles for the Rose Capital. For the sake of emotion and reason, the Rose Family must formally visit and express their gratitude, otherwise the hearts of the strong men will be really cold and no one will intervene next time.

"Wow, was the disaster yesterday so great? It turned the temple into ruins." As soon as she got off the car, the little girl Layla exclaimed.

"Well, this place is almost ruins, kids. Remember not to talk nonsense from now on. If you say this in it, they will really dare to follow your words and let us rebuild all the buildings." The old man sighed, and walked side by side with Layla, leading a group of guards to the temple.

The temple guards? There is definitely no priest or nun who is waiting in the prayer hall every day? Of course there is no sermon priest in the sermon hall? How could it be possible for the temple to exist? At the entrance of the temple, there was only a little boy with a snot drowning.

The little boy woke up by the voices and looked at the group of people from a distance, turned around and ran away like a ghost, and shouted: "Auntie Meria, it's not good. The guy who came to ask for the debt the day before yesterday is back and brought a large group of people. They must be coming to move things to pay off the debt. Hurry up all the valuable things."

"Huh? Grandpa, are we here to ask for debt?" The girl looked at the old man beside her in surprise, "And you came here once the day before yesterday?"

"Ahem, as long as someone comes to the door, this is basically their fixed process."

The old man who accompanied him was of course the Marquis of Ruben, who was most trusted by the Duke. Only the Marquis of Ruben can make the Duke feel at ease to entrust his granddaughter to him, and only he is qualified to go hand in hand with the young Rose along the way.

Although the inside story was still understood, the Marquis of Ruben did not wait in the prayer hall. He gave a simple salute in front of the Dark Moon statue, and left the guards in the prayer hall and walked towards the depths of the temple with Layla. However, just after passing through the prayer hall, before he could get to the next ruin, no, the next building, Sister Tallinna hurriedly greeted her with her two children.

"Marquis, and this is... Miss Rose, in the name of the Lord, we welcome the two to the Dark Moon Temple."

Today, Tallinna and Meria have already changed into formal priest robe. Although they have not mastered the magical skills, at least their identities can be decided first. With a new identity, the new priest Tallinna has even improved a lot. Facing the Marquis of Ruben and Layla, they are completely different from yesterday's restrainedness.

"Praise the gods and praise the dark moon." After all, it is the blood of roses. Once they come into contact with outsiders, the girl Layla immediately salutes the hem of the skirt gracefully. "Lela, the descendant of roses, represents the Duke of Rose, and represents the Duke of Rose, and pays tribute to the Lord of Dark Moon. This time, I came rashly in hopes of meeting the bishop of your priest... and the priest, and thank the two priests in person."

"Sure enough, no, I mean, Miss Laurela and the Marquis have troubled." Talinna almost said what she thought, but fortunately she covered it up in time. "But it's really a pity that Lord Lisa and Lord Shure are not convenient to meet you now."

"Huh?" Both the Marquis and the young Layla were surprised. According to common sense, this visit should not be rejected. They came to thank the house rather than seeking revenge. No matter how bad the relationship was, they should maintain the minimum etiquette so that they would not turn away the thank-you people, and the relationship between the two parties was quite harmonious.

"Don't misunderstand, the Temple did not reject the Duke's kindness." Talinna explained skillfully as if she was an endorsed. "It's just that Master Shuer was seriously injured last night and is still bedridden. Lord Lisa has been helping Master Shuer with treatment, but she can't get out. She really can't receive the two of them, so she can only apologize to them."

How much do you hate your priests? That way, when he is bedridden and exaggerated, he still has a joyful atmosphere. Can you be more dedicated when he tells lies?

As he was secretly whispering, the Marquis of Ruben sighed deeply and said helplessly: "Thanks to Mr. Shure for the price he paid for the city. He was seriously injured for the city. We should visit us in person without losing our etiquette. Please rest assured, I already understand that we will not disturb you for too long."
