The female representative was a middle-aged woman close to forty years old. She muttered to herself and discussed with her companions behind her, then nodded.
"Thank you for your attention, we are willing to develop at the auction house."
"That's good." Garon sent out the last four guards and two people to escort them to the auction house.
Everyone in the family believed his words without a doubt, which made him very satisfied. Outside, there were rumors that the Kingdom was about to be breached by monsters. Many families with power and influence all fled with the three departments.
Those who stayed were either powerless or people of the highest level like Garon, the Grand Duke and the Grand Princess. They more or less knew some of the true trump cards.
There was also a group of smarter people. Seeing that not many of the major powers left, they also stayed.
This also caused more than half of the Kingdom to be empty. The remaining nobles were busy fighting for resources and territory. Naturally, no one cared about the chaos of the commoners. Everyone only cared about their own territory.
No one cared about the public areas.
After dealing with this, Garon left the manor with the last two Black Fire Guards and rushed in the direction of his cousin's house.
Along the way, they could see horse corpses lying on the side of the road, burning houses, bandits looting, and some nobles smashing and robbing shops and houses.
Garon and the other two rode three groups of mutated single-horned horses and headed straight for Cloud Light District.
Among the three districts of the Kingdom, Cloud Light District was the most chaotic.
Most of the people who lived here were officials and rich merchants. Most bandits came here to rob.
Garon and the other two encountered a few waves of bandits who didn't know what was good for them. After being corroded into puddles of acid by the Black Fire Guards, no one dared to stop them.
After spending more than twenty minutes, Garon directly arrived at the entrance of his cousin's house in Cloud Light District.
Outside the white house by the road, there were corpses lying haphazardly. There was also a large pool of dried blood on the ground.
Garon urged his horse to step on the pool of blood, making wet splashing sounds.
The two Black Fire Guards flipped down and quickly moved around, beginning to remove all the unstable elements around them.
Garon looked towards the second and third floor of the house.
The house was quiet, as if there was no one at all.
Garon urged his horse around the house. He didn't see anyone. Two Black Fire Guards broke through the door and went in to search, but found nothing.
His cousins had obviously left early.
Garon was still not at ease. He turned around and rushed towards White Phoenix Forest Academy with the two of them. This was the place he had instructed his cousins to rush to after the incident.
*****
Dani felt as if the day had been a dream.
She returned home in the middle of the night and was about to have a beautiful beauty sleep. She didn't expect that when she was half-asleep, her sister would pull her up, put on her clothes, and rush her out.
Together with them was the sister's best friend, Sylvia, who also worked in the palace.
Both of them looked worried and anxious.
She saw her sister and Sylvia meet a middle-aged man at the door. This man brought a group of guards with him and said something to her sister with a serious expression. The two of them seemed to hesitate at the door.
However, Sylvia seemed to have said something, and her sister finally agreed.
Dani was dragged away by her sister and left the house with the middle-aged man.
When she left, her mind was still in a daze. She hadn't yet woken up.
The sky outside suddenly rang with an ear-piercing alarm, giving her a fright.
The three of them were brought to a collective camp by the middle-aged man. It was a large open space with many white tents erected on it. Many people had already gathered.
A noble man who called himself Cohen quickly came to take them away. The three of them followed a group of men and women who were dressed extravagantly, and rushed towards the direction of the lake in the Back Kingdom. Along the way, these people pointed at Sylvia and whispered, as if they were sizing up an item, making her feel very embarrassed.
"I've already said that our numbers are full. Why did you have to bring her along! Now look, it's fine if she's alone, but she actually brought two burdens with her. "The leader of the group said with a sharp voice.
"She's brother's only daughter after all. We should help if we can." The man begged softly.
Then the two of them, one dissatisfied and the other begging. Dani suddenly felt an indescribable sense of suffocation.
"Don't worry, it's fine." A gentle male voice came from beside Dani. It was a handsome man in white. "I'm the same as you guys. I'm also following this family to evacuate. I'm Kane. What's your name? "The man's gentle smile seemed to wash away Dani's annoyance.
"I'm Dani."
"Oh, you're the two friends that Miss Sylvia brought." Kane had a look of realization. "Where's your sister and the others?"
"They're in front." Dani looked forward and saw her sister and Sylvia standing in front of a woman in a red dress with their heads down, listening to the woman's words with a face full of disgust.
Kane seemed to have seen it too. He ruffled Dani's hair hard. "Don't worry, it's fine."
"Kane!"
Suddenly, someone called him from afar.
"Come here!"
"I'll go over for a bit." Kane turned and rushed towards the direction of the voice.
Dani watched him leave, and then began to look around in boredom.
Their group was surrounded by guards in heavy white armor. Among them were a few men and women in long robes of different colors. These people looked arrogant and looked at people with disdain. They chatted among themselves, as if talking to normal people was an insult to their status.
"What's so great about them!" Dani pouted.
Suddenly, a sound that she would never forget for the rest of her life appeared.
Not far from her, a sudden scream gave her a fright.
Dani's mind snapped out of it, and she looked over in that direction. Kane, who had just left, was holding his abdomen and kneeling on the ground. Blood flowed down from his body, forming a puddle on the ground. His eyes were filled with pain and despair, as well as helplessness and helplessness.
This man was like them, someone who followed this group later. Listening to him, he was also a friend of the other family members.
Dani seemed to be completely dumbfounded.
She felt that the only thing left in the world was the man who was crying in pain. In front of the man, a blonde man with a twisted face was shaking off the blood on his sword, his face full of disdain.
"Kill … Murder …" Dani felt her mind go blank.
The man who was standing in front of her, the man who spoke to her personally, the man with a gentle smile. At this moment, his body tilted and fell to the ground. None of the guards around him looked at him, their expressions cold.
Dani felt her mouth go dry, a fear that she had never felt before suddenly surged out from her mind.
The man who was standing in front of her, alive, was now lying on the ground, quickly becoming a cold corpse.
This was the first time she saw someone kill.
The first time she saw a dead person, a dead person who died in front of her …
Dani's mind went blank. She did not know when her sister came to her side, nor did she know when she was hugged by Sylvia.
She only kept replaying Kane's helpless gaze before he died in her mind. That gaze seemed to be looking at her.
"It's okay … It's okay." Her sister's voice kept ringing in her ears.
"How do we deal with these burdens?"
"It's too late, let them enter the third cabin."
"But that's for livestock …"
"There's no space for them, if they want to leave, then leave. If they don't, then scram!" The woman's sharp voice rang in her ears.
Dani felt cold all over. She saw Kane's end, they were of the same status as him, maybe they would also end up like him …
This was the first time she felt that the outside world was so dangerous.
She had always lived in her sister's circle of tolerance, but this was the first time, the first time she saw the cruelty of the outside world.
When these usually humble, polite, and elegant nobles bared their fangs, they were actually crueler than ferocious beasts, treating human lives like grass.
They followed behind this group of people, feeling wronged, there were more than ten people like them, all of them of the same status.
The nobles' disgusted expressions and impatient tone in front of them kept ringing in Dani's ears, she realized for the first time that the world she lived in before was so childish and ignorant.
She argued with her sister every day, for trivial matters, for pocket money, she was willful and unreasonable, stealing things to sell, she thought that she was familiar with the Kingdom's Cloud Light District. She interacted with the hooligans on the street with her sister's heroism.
But at this moment, in this kind of environment, compared to the strong guards and totem users around them, the hooligans who were normal people were as weak as little chicks.
For the rest of the journey, the group was attacked by several waves of hooligans, there were people dying around them, and people were heavily injured and left behind.
Dani's heart was getting colder and colder, and she was getting more and more scared.
She also saw a trace of worry on her sister's face, and Sister Sylvia's haze.
Unknowingly, their group was nearing the big lake behind the Kingdom.
Dani's mind was in a mess the whole way, she couldn't remember anything.
Vaguely, there seemed to be a series of screams coming from the front, the whole group suddenly stopped. It seemed like someone was blocking the way.
"Get lost!"
A cold male voice came from afar.
"Sir Earl! We really don't have what you're looking for here … "The shrill woman was begging bitterly. It seemed like this person's power was far beyond hers. She completely lost her arrogance just now.
Bang! Ah!!
After a scream, the woman went silent.
"Everyone stop, stand where you are, let the Lord check!" A female totem user in the group shouted loudly to please. The guards started to maintain order.
The whole group had more than a hundred people, there was a slight panic in the front, but it quickly calmed down.
Time passed by slowly.
"Cousin!? Why are you here? "Suddenly, a surprised male voice came from the front.
Dani raised her head from her sister's arms and looked forward.
What she saw was a familiar figure.
It was Acacia! How did he find them?
Dani suddenly felt like a drowning person who saw a familiar person, the warmth and safety in her heart seemed to fill her body.
He was wearing a white shirt and hurried towards them. Beside him were a few nobles and totem users with flattering faces.
"I've been looking for you for a long time! Why didn't you listen to me and come here?! If it wasn't for someone who saw you and informed me, I might not have been able to catch up with you! What happened to Dani? "
"She was frightened …" Her sister's voice answered softly.
"Men!" Acacia turned around and shouted impatiently.
Soon, a figure in black armor came forward, and lowered his head without a word.
"Carry her, we'll go directly to the Royal Hospital! Forget it, I'll do it myself! "
In a daze, Dani felt like she was being carried by a broad chest, an unprecedented sense of security slowly flowed from her heart.
So, Acacia had such a side to him. Dani had never seen this side of him, it was as if the companion she knew since young had suddenly become a stranger. He became dazzling, dazzling, and faintly overlapped with a fantasy in her heart …
She pressed her face tightly against his chest, and finally fell into a deep sleep after a while.
