Chapter 428 427. Speculation
Not talking about whether the palace manager has the power to hang construction workers, Lan En at least knows why this matter was left unclear in the announcement.
The matter of the Royal Cemetery being haunted is very sensitive.
Intolerance and superstition have always been one of the common follies of ordinary people. These follies may never be completely eradicated because they are as eternal as folly itself. Today's mountains may become the future ocean; today's ocean may become the future desert. But stupidity is still stupidity.
This is a description in a book about this world. Lan En thinks it is right to a certain extent.
The political turmoil that may be caused by natural disasters, visions, ghosts, coupled with the increasingly tense international atmosphere and the resulting increased pressure for survival cannot be underestimated.
"We have received two demon hunters recently. One of them is from the Griffin School, and the other is from the Bear School like you."
The palace manager continued to introduce.
“The two of them have started to deal with the ghosts in the royal cemetery, but I heard that the progress is not so smooth.”
“I will say this. If you decide to accept the commission, I will issue you a pass to enter and leave the cemetery freely. However, if you feel that you cannot bear the risk, you need to sign a confidentiality agreement here to confirm that the details of this commission will not be spread. You will be wanted in Cintra and will be hanged upon capture."
"Understood, I will accept this commission."
Lan En agreed simply.
He wants to communicate with the demon hunter from the Bear School, but it seems that the other party is also stumped by this task.
He didn't want to wait until he found the other party, only to find a corpse that had been ravaged by demon spirits.
“Aha! That couldn’t be better!”
Haxo cheered and handed the parchment notice to the mayor.
The mayor behind the desk didn't even look at it, and stamped it with the seal on the ring with a 'pop' sound.
"Why don't you write down the right of way for him first and then let me stamp it! Now it makes me feel like a rubber stamp!"
After stamping it, the mayor faced Huck Suo complained.
It seems like they have a really good relationship.
The palace supervisor turned a deaf ear, picked up the quill pen on the desk, and wrote the general document of the Royal Cemetery in rather gorgeous cursive script, and then stamped his seal ring upwards, which was regarded as a pass.
After handing the pass to Lann, Haxor and the Witcher shook hands with each other.
"Please allow me to remind you."
The palace steward closed the distance from the witcher and lowered his voice.
"Please be sure not to leak the details of this mission. The Queen takes this issue very seriously, it should be said very seriously. So if there are rumors in the city"
Before he finished speaking, the cold meaning was already obvious through the eyes of the palace supervisor.
Lan En's expression did not waver at all: "I have completed the tasks well so far."
"It's best this way." Haxo repeated seriously. "Sir, it's best this way."
——
Lan walked out of the city hall, and a black smoke came to his side without anyone noticing.
Then they condensed into one person.
“This is setting an invisible time limit for you, right?”
Regis held the strap of his shoulder bag and walked naturally with Lan En.
Just now he listened to the whole process next to the mayor's office.
“Yes, these people can always bring out several meanings in one sentence, which makes people have a headache.”
Lan En complained expressionlessly.
Regis shrugged: "But you still understood it without any effort. I'm afraid your level is higher than them. It's just that you don't want to use it."
"That's right. Yes, I can, but I don’t want to use it.”
Lan En said while putting the pass in his arms.
Haxo said 'If there are rumors in town', this is the time limit hidden under the mission. Such breaking news that the Royal Cemetery is haunted cannot be kept secret for long.
Citizens will frantically pursue this kind of information because of their passion for 'peeping into royal privacy', and Lan En has never regarded medieval intelligence control as an effective method.
Their loose administrative structure does not have the ability to enforce information control.
It is inevitable that news of hauntings will spread. The only difference lies in whether the royal family responds with a cool and comfortable 'problem has been solved' or remains silent when rumors arise.
If it is the latter, how should we channel the panic and anxiety of the people?
The witcher who took the mission must be a good match.
“But it has nothing to do with us, right.”
Lan nudged Regis beside him with his elbow and gave a smirk.
“Even the magic deployed in the city hall cannot detect the atomized form of a high-level vampire.”
Times are progressing. In order to prevent magicians from using illusions to change their appearance and perform small tricks, many cities The city hall and city entrance have been cast with identifying magic.
Once you detect traces of illusion magic, you can immediately call the police like your butt is on fire.
But just now Regis didn't cause any movement.
No matter whether the task is completed or not, they can advance and retreat freely.
“One thing that interests me very much about this conversation is that it’s not the demons themselves that Haxo fears about the haunted cemetery.”
Regis said with interest. , he has always been interested in exploring secrets and novelties.
"The way he looks, it's more like he's worried about the bad influence brought by demon spirits. But he's just a palace steward. He can't be held accountable for things like public outcry. Why are you so nervous?"
"Power will only be responsible to the giver of power, Regis."
Lan said with a calm expression.
"Well, that makes sense, I want to write it down."
The vampire continued to ask while commenting.
"And based on this philosophical statement, haha! Those demon spirits made Queen Calanthe, the [Lioness of Cintra] anxious?"
Regis's eyes widened, exclaimed with a little excitement.
"It seems that those demon spirits not only killed people, but they also brought up some more serious past events? Is this really possible, expert?"
"I can only say , maybe.”
Lan nodded.
"The demon spirits will feel endless and indescribable pain. They are full of anger and feel that they have been wronged, so they hate and envy the living people. If they are really the awakened royal ancestor demon spirits, then their wails may really bring out the meaning of the pain. There are some words that are quite destructive to the current political situation."
"Wow, are the rumors true?"
It seems that this is the first time that the vampire has come into contact with the royal family's secrets. 'The novelty of such an exciting topic made him feel great. And this reminds me of some rural rumors.
"Rumors? I mean Regis, can you tell me straight? I'm not a local, and I've never heard locals whisper rumors in my ears."
So. The vampire lowered his voice quietly.
"Those are some, uh, crude speculations about the current Queen of Cintra."
"About her two miscarriages, infertility, and the aftermath of giving birth to Princess Pavetta. "The widowed husband."
"One of the country folk's favorite topics, right?"
