Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Xia Lan had no intention of getting involved in the conflict between the "Fang of Subversion" and the internal conflict within the empire, so he quietly escaped before the army formed a complete encirclement. However, according to what the black-clothed priest swore just now, where exactly is the empire?  Do you have the confidence to dare to break up with the "Subversion Fang"?  Isn't the Empire worried about settling the score after Galberd's escape?  Or maybe what the priest in black said was untrue?  After a brief thought, he did not continue to delve deeper. After all, the matter had nothing to do with him, and there was no reason for him to get involved and cause trouble for himself.  However, one thing is certain, during this period, Droshchin may have been undercurrents and will never regain its original tranquility.  Not long after returning to the hotel, Xia Lan heard discussions about this matter, and she had to lament that the people of the imperial capital were very well-informed, and even the slightest disturbance could not be hidden from their ears. Of course, part of the reason may be attributed to the continuous heavy rain.  , when most people have nothing to do, anything that happens around them can be used as a source of conversation for leisure time, especially news about such hot topics, which is more likely to cause widespread discussion.  Xia Lan believed that this was a deliberate move by the empire. If the empire really wanted to block the news, how could ordinary civilians learn about it immediately? He would not believe it if there was no internal conspiracy.  As time goes by, the conflict between the Empire and the "Subversion Fangs" has become more and more intense, and the situation has basically developed to the point where they are irreconcilable. In the face of the Empire, which has the guidance of public opinion and strong military strength, the "Subversion Fangs" have almost no chance.  Without the power to resist, if it weren't for his profound background, the empire might have been uprooted long ago.  Is it true that "Subversion Fang" will follow the footsteps of "Glory Temple"?  Thinking about it, it feels like a piece of black humor.  As a qualified spectator, Xia Lan was too lazy to pay attention to this seemingly significant event from beginning to end. No matter who won or lost, it had nothing to do with him, even though there had been a sharp relationship between him and both.  During the period of hostility, but times have changed, and now he and the other party no longer have any interest in each other, and they are on the same page. Unless the other party takes the initiative to come to the door, it is impossible for him to cause trouble for no reason.  Nothing can escape the fate of prosperity and decline. From the age of the gods to the dawn of the new moon, Eldran has experienced countless glorious eras, but now people can only remember it in historical documents.  The "Glory Temple" that has been the hegemon of Derland for thousands of years will not escape disaster in the end. What exceptions can there be for the mere "Subversion Fang"?  The gods are like this, the country is like this, history is like this, and the dream passed down from generation to generation is still a dream.  People are forgetful. Once the enthusiasm subsides and the mind changes, the things that were of great concern before will be forgotten in the blink of an eye. Xia Lan, who often stays in the hotel lobby and listens to the heated discussions, is deeply touched. He doesn't know where it is.  Affected by factors, fewer and fewer people are talking about the conflict between the Empire and the "Fangs of Subversion" today, and the conversation soon jumps to things closely related to them. The most common one is the never-ending heavy rain outside the house.  Every day, heavy rains cause house collapses and casualties. At the same time, prices in the city rise uncontrollably and sharply. Many poor families are in serious economic difficulties. The signs of social unrest are increasingly emerging, and heavy rains have caused  The interruption of transportation hindered the imperial decree, and the central government gradually lost its understanding and control of various places. If things go on like this, the huge empire is likely to face the crisis of disintegration.  Under such a bad situation, how should the empire solve it?  Unless the rain stops, there will be no solution to these problems.  Military police patrolling the streets in the rain began to appear frequently, which showed that the situation in Droshchen was becoming more and more serious. Although the empire used power to temporarily stabilize the social order, once a spark of unrest spreads into a prairie fire, anyone in the future could  None of them can extinguish this raging terrifying flame.  Xia Lan doesn't care whether Drohichen will become a hell on earth. He only cares about whether there is something he is looking for in this city. He has been in Drohichen for nearly a month. Whenever the rain is not heavy, he will go out and wander around.  He keeps wandering around, hoping to meet some unusual people or things, because he understands that staying in the hotel and waiting for nothing will lead to nothing.  Unfortunately, he was disappointed.  After all, some things cannot be forced.  He has decided to leave himself three more days. Once the three days are over, he will leave the boiling furnace of Droshchen.  However, fate always likes to play tricks, especially when it gives you despair when you are full of hope, and also gives you hope when you are in despair.  On this day, Xia Lan was sitting in the hotel lobby as usual. There was a bottle of wine on his desk, and this bottle of wine was enough for him to drink for an afternoon. He rarely drank before, but it was just that alcohol could easily paralyze his vigilance.  Nerves, now, he no longer needs to worry about this issue.    Due to the soaring prices, the hotel business has inevitably been affected. There are only a few guests dining and drinking in the lobby. Compared with the noisy scene some time ago, it is like a world of difference. This makes Xia Lan hear the gossip  Anecdotes are becoming increasingly rare.  On the table near the window, there are often two familiar faces sitting at the table chatting with local accents. However, the topics between them are boring and boring, and others will find it meaningless after hearing a few words. However, these two people are chatting with gusto.  There are weird people and weird things everywhere, and it¡¯s not unusual to have one or two more.  Originally, Xia Lan didn't care about the content of the conversation between the two, but a woman he suddenly talked about later caught his attention.  "My wife told me something very weird recently." "How weird is it?" "Well - to be precise, it's a weird and mysterious woman. Does the Iris Community three blocks away from my house know about it?" "Of course  "Who in the city doesn't know that that community is a wealthy area, and many dignitaries live there." "What I want to tell you is about this community You and I both know that there are many dignitaries living in Iris Community."  The dignitaries, including the mistresses of many big shots, live there. As for my wife, she often goes in and out of there because she often does some craft work for the ladies and ladies there. She was employed by Madame Celine in the past two years.  As a result, after working there for nearly three months, she got to know many people in the neighborhood. Among them, the one who impressed her the most was the lady who lived alone next door. According to my wife's description, this lady was very beautiful and elegant.  , her smile was clean and flawless, but it was a pity that her body was a little weak, as if she was recovering from a serious illness, which made people feel pity. At first, my wife thought she was the lover of a big shot, but later she learned from Mrs. Celine that that  The lady who lives alone moved from a distant place some time ago. It is said that she is visiting relatives, but she has never seen any outsiders enter her house, nor has she ever seen this lady go out.  The purchasing is all done through an old maid" "What's so weird and mysterious about this? Many lovers who have been abandoned by big shots live like this." "The problem is that my wife went to Madame Celine's house yesterday after a long time.  I heard from Mrs. Celine that the lady next door still lives the same life and never goes out, has no visitors, and never takes the initiative to communicate with others. If it is you, can you bear this lonely lifestyle?  I can't stand it!" "That's right. It seems that the lady is a woman with a story." "Who knows But I have heard an even more bizarre rumor." "Is it interesting?  Nonsense! Of course it¡¯s interesting, and it¡¯s very interesting! Let me tell you, my wife heard from Mrs. Celine that a bold thief broke into the Iris Community and was caught stealing. According to the thief¡¯s account,  He once sneaked into the house of the lady next door, and you know what he saw? "What did he see? Come on, tell me!" "He said he didn't see anything at all.  A piece of furniture, the ground and the stairs and corridors are covered with a thick layer of dust. It doesn't look like it is occupied at all! " "Wow - the thief couldn't have entered the wrong house, right? " " Impossible!  The thief confessed that he had investigated the house and its owner in detail, and planned to rob someone while committing the robbery. However, the thief was exposed instead! " "How did he get exposed?" "The thief?  He said that he once walked around the whole house, but not only did he not see anyone, but he was even shocked to find that no one had lived in this house for at least three years. So what would happen to the woman living here?  As a result, the thief was so frightened that he quickly ran away, and in his panic, he suddenly bumped into the patrolling guard.  " "Hiss - it's really scary to hear you say that!  Is what the thief said true?  " "It should be a lie. When the investigators went to the house later to learn about the situation, the lady opened the door herself and invited her into the house to entertain her. The inside was not at all the desolate scene described by the thief, but rather luxurious.  It was too grand to be true, but the thief insisted that the room was an abandoned house with no one in it!  " "It's really weird to hear you say that!  " "Who knows, anyway, I haven't heard of any blind thief going to that house again.  "      Hearing the content of the chat between the two, Xia Lan felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, because he had also met such a woman. Violet, a woman in Cologne who everyone kept secret. When Cologne was in turmoil, this woman  mysteriously disappearedAnd he also forgot about this woman with the outbreak of jihad. Unexpectedly, over the years, he would hear rumors similar to her.  He decided to go and find out the truth of the matter himself.  Is she really her?  And who is she?  Is it related to what he is looking for?
