Become a martial girl

Chapter 129 The Assassination Question

"What kind of ghost city is this? It feels really uncomfortable." Edward squeezed his clothes dry, pulled out the obsidian sword in his waist, and looked at it.Fortunately, in the darkness, the sword shone with a sense of brilliance unique to metal, which made him somewhat relieved.

Xio jumped on the spot, got rid of the accumulated water in his ears, and said with a smile: "This is Maiev City. With the convenient transportation of Lake Missouri and several nearby mines, it has become a mineral city. You see, there are people everywhere here. They are all huge mechanical buildings, which are very different from the environment in Silver Moon."

If you look carefully, there are indeed many strange buildings standing in the darkness.There always seemed to be a thin layer of dust floating in the air, which should be extracted from some kind of mineral.

"The reason why the Luwell Empire became an empire is because they have always regarded expansion as the principle of governing the country. Therefore, this country is very aggressive. Black market, theft, robbery and other crimes occur from time to time. I really like this city, and it smells of science everywhere. However, it may be a bit bad for you, and you deviated from your normal destination and landed at this port instead."

After a brief rest, Mengdie and his party left the pier, looking for some places to stay temporarily.Only when you really walk on the street can you realize how chaotic the city is.The streets are full of soldiers walking and patrolling. Under the silent night sky, the only echo is the sound of those soldiers stamping on the ground.The whole city seemed lifeless, and no light shone through any of the buildings.As if, this is not a city, but a cemetery!And these soldiers are grave guards to prevent any "dead" from being resurrected!
Hiding in the corner of an alley and waiting for a group of armored soldiers to leave, Mengdie and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.Looking at this bleak city, it seems impossible to find a hotel to rest.Even if there is, it must be a very troublesome thing to go out and wander around on the street like this, and be caught by soldiers.After all, the relationship between the Silvermoon Kingdom and the Luwell Empire is very delicate, and Edward has to be more cautious in his actions when he is in the team.So they finally decided to rest in this alley for one night and wait until dawn tomorrow before taking action.

----------------------

It was late at night, and the surroundings were extremely quiet.Mengdie listened to her heartbeat, but couldn't fall asleep.Countless question marks appeared in her mind, some she could figure out, and some she couldn't.But more of them are problems that cannot be figured out.

Looking up, it was only at this time that Hou Mengdie realized that the sky above the city was so dark.It was a sky covered in overcast clouds, not to mention the moonlight, even the little bit of starlight could not penetrate through the dense mineral dust.The three rounds of bright moons that can be seen in Yinyue in the past...cough, now I don't know if they are round or missing.

Mengdie shook her head, and her eyebrows, which were scrutinized carefully, were slightly frowned with worry.At this moment, Nia, who used her knee as a pillow, let out a soft snoring sound, smacked her mouth twice, and fell asleep again.The sadness on Mengdie's face was slightly dispelled by the little girl's unintentional actions. She smiled slightly, shook her head, took off her coat and covered Nia, and patted gently lovingly.

"You two, if you can't fall asleep like me, do you mind if we discuss it together?" Mengdie still patted Nia, without looking up, and said this sentence with a smile on her mouth.

Edward, who was leaning against the wall beside Mengdie, and Xio, who was sitting in front of the wall opposite Mengdie, glanced at each other, then simply got up and sat beside Mengdie.

The smile on Mengdie's face gradually faded, replaced by a serious expression.

"Before we discuss, first of all, I want to ask you, Xio." Mengdie turned to Xio, and said slowly, "You were implicated by us, and now that you have arrived on the shore, you have no obligation to accompany you." Let's continue the adventure. Excuse me, do you have any plans for the future? If you want to buy a boat ticket to go home immediately, I still have 7 suras here, although 8 suras are still short of enough to buy the boat back to Garuru Town tickets, but with your cleverness, it should not be so difficult to earn 8 sula."

Holding the sword in his arms, Edward also looked at Xio, waiting for his answer.

Xio shrugged, smiled slightly, and said, "Oh, Miss Mengdie, you think highly of me too. Don't forget, the four of us are now illegal immigrants. What is the relationship between Yinyue and Luwell? Who can tell? I am alone in this city full of martial law, and nine lives are not enough. So, until I earn enough money to go home, let me act together with you."

Mengdie nodded, just about to speak.But before she could speak, Xio suddenly added another sentence——

"What's more, I'm still in danger of being hunted down."

"……………………"

"Hahaha, Miss Mengdie, please don't look at me with such vigilance. Please don't tell me that you haven't considered the two consecutive assassinations in the past few days~~~"

Hugh's hint was so obvious that no further explanation was needed.Mengdie and Xio slowly turned their heads and looked quietly at the other man sitting here at the moment——

Prince of the Silvermoon Kingdom, the next heir to the throne, Edward Ransidmoor.

The cold wind blew into the alley, making Nia curl up and shiver.Mengdie hurriedly covered her with her coat and gently stroked her hair.But Edward, at the moment, was pale, looking at Mengdie and Xio with an expression of not understanding anything.

"Well, this is indeed a problem." After staring for a long time, Mengdie turned her head as if giving up, and nodded slightly at Xio: "So, it is better for you to act together with us."

Xio chuckled and stopped talking.
