Chapter 244 The Dark History Exposed by Xiuman
Looking at the furnishings of the orphanage in the City Lord's Mansion, Percy thought he had returned to that warm and happy time.
But Isa, who liked to step on his shoulders and sneak over the wall to play, turned into a shape that was not like a normal creature.
After less than a quarter of an hour, Isa turned into black mist again.
"Percy, aren't you in the law enforcement unit of the City Guard?
Sneaking into the City Lord's Mansion at night is a violation of the law..."
It seemed that the transformation had consumed a lot of the girl's energy, and her already incoherent voice became even more intermittent.
"Isa, why did you become like this?"
After staring at the black fog for a long time, Percy, who had settled down a little, immediately asked about Isa.
"Percy, you should have discovered that most of the orphans adopted by the old city lord are Abyss species that have no one else to adopt..."
"Ah... I thought I was the only one..."
"Your bloodline is dominant. Since childhood, your tail and the horns hidden in your hair have shown that you are different.
But for most orphans, their bloodlines are hidden and will not be revealed until they reach adulthood.”
"Tail?!"
Larriel, who had been watching the fun quietly on the side, exclaimed.
This curious and innocent girl jumped behind Percy and looked him up and down.
If he hadn't been a little reserved, Larriel would have gone up and stripped Percy's leather armor.
"This pretty lady, Percy always likes to wrap his tail around his waist...
You can't tell by looking at his trousers."
Larriel, who was exposed by the Black Mist, was embarrassed.
She ran to the side like a rabbit, looking behind Percy with evasive eyes.
“I thought that when I activated my bloodline, I would grow some demonic limbs like you…
After my bloodline became visible, I discovered that I had the blood of the Shadow Clan in my body."
The swirling black mist floated and brushed against some tables and chairs in the room.
"Isa... Did Lord Xiuman... turn you into faceless men..."
"...Percy...You are lucky. You should be able to understand Master Shuman more easily..."
……
"Master Xiuman! Master Xiuman! Please slow down..."
A young servant trotted over, holding a sheaf of parchment documents.
These are Xuman’s servants in his own villa. There are many things he doesn’t want Old Ide to know, so these servants were all selected by Xuman individually.
"Just send the documents directly to the City Hall. I need to go back to the City Lord's Mansion—"
The professional smile that Xiuman Huiyao had always kept on his face had completely disappeared.
The young city lord now looks so gloomy that it's scary.
"Several guests are waiting for me there..."
Ever since he took office, he has been facing the encroachment of power by the House of Representatives and the infiltration of the royal capital's forces at all times.
But for most people in Huiyao City, few people would know about these things happening in the shadows.
With great difficulty, he gathered a group of like-minded allies and formed a Faceless Army that terrified those sewer bugs.
As a result, they were all wiped out by an expelled pervert!
Thinking of this, Xiuman gritted his teeth in anger.
That good-for-nothing Alvin was uneducated and did nothing before, but now that he has great power, he actually comes to ruin his own plans.
Huiyao City was established nearly a thousand years ago. Relying on the natural barrier of the Haze Forest, no major wars have occurred.
The biggest war was the one against the orcs more than ten years ago.
It is precisely because Huiyao City meets both conditions of "far away from the political center" and "fewer surrounding threats" that the royal capital forces and merchant forces are salivating over it.
The old city lord was too gentle. He only took a defensive stance and did not launch any counterattack, which made those greedy guys think that they had an opportunity to take advantage of.
But they all underestimated Huiyao.
Not all families have the ability to name a city after their own surname.
Following the dark stone path, Xiuman quickly returned to the City Lord's Mansion.
The Faceless Man had earlier made an urgent report that Alvin had sneaked into the City Lord’s Mansion with a group of people.
Although all his important secrets are hidden in the villa, God knows what that unreliable guy is planning to do.
Judging from the Faceless Man's information, this childhood playmate who lifted the curtain together is now something special.
Instant casting, spell enhancement - well, according to the intelligence, it should be spell miracle effects, all of which are weird things.
The Faceless Men only had about twenty people in total, and at least a dozen of them were killed in the attack during the negotiations with Nield.
This is not the most surprising thing.
It is said that Tomba's Zhili troops killed more than a hundred people in less than a quarter of an hour.
The Nields are still cleaning the western cliffs every day, trying to pick out fragments embedded in the rock.
It seems that this childhood friend, like me, had also hidden his strength before.
Heh... aristocrats who always like to plot and scheme...
Xiuman walked through the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and looked at the opposite side with an uncertain expression.
On the small road leading to the orphanage, Alvin and a few of his accomplices were standing in the middle of the road.
Several guards from the City Lord's Mansion fell to the ground, and their lives or deaths were unknown.
Xiuman gritted his teeth and coughed lightly, and the sound came out syllable by syllable from the depths of his throat.
"Ivan...lifted the curtain of the women's bathhouse when he was a kid and did something naughty;
But now, you have entered the private territory of Lord Huiyao without permission——
Even a child with a confused mind can’t do such a thing!"
Hearing Xiuman's voice, Ivan turned around and looked at Xiuman in surprise.
"Huh?
Didn’t the Eye of Surveillance say that you were planning to chat with an elf girl all night in the north city villa?
Xiuman, you are too fast! "
Then, Alvin gradually lowered his gaze.
This move completely angered Xiuman.
“Evan!
You helped me to deal with Nield's riot, but ended up taking out my troops!
Now he has broken into the city lord's mansion without permission and killed the guards!
How have I ever offended you?
Is it because when we were little, I caught you and that noble lady from Yongquan Town doing something together, and you have been holding a grudge against me until now?
Or the slave trader's girl?
Could it be that farmer’s daughter? She was only thirteen years old at the time! "
The group of friends around Alvin all looked at him with strange expressions.
Under Xiling's hood, her fair chin was trembling slightly, and it was unclear whether she was angry or trying to hold back a laugh;
The halfling Annie tried hard to control the expression on her face, but the fire of gossip burned in her eyes;
As for River, he didn't feel anything about it, he did more of this kind of shit than Kobe Irving;
As for the halfling warrior Sammy, he was looking at Ivan with his eyes wide open and admiration on his face.
