Don't confiscate my citizenship

On the walls of Kingston City, the pale white light at four o'clock in the afternoon shone slantingly, and the chill in the snowfield gradually deepened.

As we walked along the road, the edge of the entire city wall was still covered with fine white snow. This silvery coat that had not melted for a long time made the texture of the stone bricks appear brighter in the sunlight.

Lan Qi's talks with a group of lords are almost coming to an end.

Tomorrow, after completing the tasks that only he, as the governor, can accomplish, he will leave the Snowfield Province and head to the Northern Border Province, which is farther north.

"Speaking of which, from the incident about Professor Meqi, I have heard that an investigation team came to the Imperial City. It was precisely because of the information you disclosed to these visitors from the Imperial City that you further misunderstood him. I, I care a little bit about what they specifically say to you.”

Lan Qi turned around and asked several city-state lords.

Several lords suddenly looked a little embarrassed.

After the final investigation, it was found that Professor Mechi was actually a cadre of the Spectre Party. He once taught at the Royal Academy of Magic in Protos, and later left his job and went to live in the Box Mountain Province. With his instigating ability, he found a good opportunity and almost broke into the top management of Snowfield Province.

If Professor Mechi and Viscount Bonn really work together to take over the Snowfield Province, the consequences will be disastrous. I am afraid that they will pay an irreparable price before the day they find out the truth.

It can be said that in this matter, no matter how the governor who saved them punished them, they would not complain.

The lords briefly glanced left and right and exchanged glances, and finally it was Viscount Levin Kingston who spoke first.

"There is a rumor recently that the northernmost city of Bonn received an unidentified refugee. He claimed that something terrible happened in the north. However, after we actually sent people to contact the northern border province, we found that there was no such thing. We couldn't even find out the self-proclaimed identity of this refugee, as if this person was fabricated out of thin air. And his mental state was obviously very wrong, and he was quickly sent to the hospital, and then committed suicide."

"Have you ever gone on a field trip to the north?"

Lan Qi rubbed his chin and nodded.

In fact, from the conversation with Viscount Kingston, Lanqi knew that the investigation team had an order prohibiting the disclosure of information, so if he asked directly, several lords might be vague, or they might want to ask for all the key information. It’s also quite troublesome.

Judging from the route of the investigation team, Lan Qi probably had some guesses, and it was most likely related to the Northern Border Province. This was the final destination that Crolis entrusted him to investigate. Even Crolis's father, The holder of [Original Slate - Undead], Duke Morodian Berenhard, has disappeared in this northern part.

"This matter is too absurd. It is said that not only our Snowy Province, but also other northern city-states have received similar refugees. This has finally attracted the attention of the Imperial Capital and dispatched an elite investigation team led by Major General Fan Leku."

The lord on the side added.

"Major General Fanreku..."

Lan Qi muttered to himself.

Lan Qi had heard of this imperial general in the imperial capital. He was born in a noble family in the Protos Empire. He received strict military training and strategic education since he was a child. When he was a teenager, he showed extraordinary commanding talents and With his fighting ability, he is now only thirty-five years old and is already a famous seventh-level strongman and an imperial major general.

The Empire would send Major General Fanreku because the potential threat of the situation must be greater than it appears on the surface.

"It's very scary now. The residents can't get in touch with the south, and the traffic in the north has been temporarily interrupted. The communication stations in the north are often unstable. We are worried that enemies that we can't resist will surge out of the north at any time. The main garrison is on the northern border. Province and the northwest province, it is unlikely that the imperial capital will allocate its forces to concentrate on this snowy province, which is mainly covered with snow and has a relatively small city area."

"The track was still operating at that time, and the spies we sent to investigate arrived at the local area to verify that there was indeed no problem."

While Lan Qi was pondering, another lord sighed and said.

In fact, there shouldn't be much of a problem, because the war has not started yet, and the northern defense line has enough guarding force to prevent any changes.

After speculation, it is more likely that spies from an enemy country are trying to spread panic and suspicion in the north.

"What terrible thing could make you care so much?"

Lan Qi asked again.

Now that everyone is together, they connect this matter with Professor Meqi's own mistake. Naturally, they don't dare to deal with it. When they see someone breaking the ban, they have nothing to be afraid of, so they speak freely. Just fine.

His sharp questions were like a cold dagger, making everyone present seem to feel the tension in the air.

The nobles looked at each other, their eyes full of uneasiness and hesitation. Some swallowed lightly, and some subconsciously rubbed the hem of their clothes.

In this silence, there was only the slight sound of breathing and the exchange of glances.

Finally, Levin Kingston took a step forward slowly, his eyes became firm, and the wrinkles on his face and his silver-gray hair added a bit of calmness and majesty to him.

"The refugee said..."

Viscount Levin Kingston paused for a moment, unable to organize specific words.

"The northern border province was massacred and has been dyed into a scarlet land."

He said in Ranchi's ear.

Although no one would believe this ridiculous news, it sounded too frightening to them, especially in today's wartime atmosphere. Once spread, no matter how low the authenticity is, it may cause a lot of panic.

"..."

After hearing this, Lan Qi fell into deep thought again.

He stood on the city wall, looking into the distance. The ice and snow mountains were vaguely visible in the frost and snow.

The place where even Chlorisse's father disappeared seemed to be extremely dangerous indeed.

If he went alone, he would probably die.

I originally thought that it would be absolutely safe to take the Ba Catholic Church with me, but now it seems that if I continue to go north, there may be dangers that even the Ba Catholic Church may not be able to handle.

Something seems to be brewing in that far north, and it is approaching the critical point invisibly.

"Askesan, do you want to harm the empire?"

Lan Qi opened her lips and teeth and muttered silently, looking into the wind at the frost-crisscrossed north, her emerald green eyes like a bright light.

There is a problem in the northern area guarded by Bishop Nirvana. No matter what, the primary responsibility lies with Bishop Asksan of Nirvana.

He, Grand Governor Rocky McCarthy, will definitely find out everything and make all the crimes known to the public in the imperial capital of Herom!
