The wheels rolled across the road, and the carriage entered Charya, passing through all the gates and heading towards the center of the city.

Along the way, Richard saw the current scene of Xia Ya through the car window, and some subtle changes occurred more than three years ago.

Speaking of this, he observed Shayya more than three years ago, not long after the war between the Soma Alliance and the Kingdom of Sika.At that time, although the Soma Alliance won the war, the national power consumption was not small, resulting in a linear decline in the living standards of civilians, excessive taxes, and many shops in the city closed.

Now, compared with more than three years ago, it does not seem to be much more relaxed. On the contrary, it seems to be more serious.

At a glance, at least 30% of the shops on the street were closed, and another 30% had a dilapidated facade and few customers.The street became quite cold, and occasionally pedestrians were in a hurry, not stopping in front of the store at all.

The owner of a grocery store, leaning on the door frame, seemed to give up the struggle and didn't solicit the guests at all, just staring at the godless dead fisheye, not knowing what to think about.

The owner of the tailor shop next door is not much better, standing in front of the door and constantly sighing.

In the distant blacksmith's shop, it was rare to be quiet. It took a long time to hear the sound of hitting iron intermittently. The sound was dull. It sounded a bit cold and lifeless. It lasted for only a few minutes and stopped, followed by the fire.

This scene continued until Xia Yacheng's center improved. The streets in the center of the city still looked prosperous and the store business was still booming.But looking at the bluestone ground that was broken due to years of disrepair, and looking at the negligence to clean up the horse dung and garbage piled up on the street corners, you know that below this surface, the decline has begun.

It seems... In the past few years, the Soma Alliance has been fighting for the throne.

Richard pondered and instructed the carriage to reach the reception.

The reception desk looks almost the same as it did three years ago, almost unchanged.

After getting out of the carriage, Richard knocked on the door to enter, showed his identity, and was quickly received by the respectful reception, and he settled down soon-the place where he lived was the courtyard he used to live more than three years ago.

After staying there, someone waited until the afternoon to visit.

It's not a stranger, it's Cyril Sark, the Honorable Duke who once went to Sarin.

The seventy-year-old man returned to Charya in advance after receiving the desired response from Sarin. It seems that the Alliance believes that the communication is good. Knowing that he arrived in Charya, he sent him directly. .

The purpose of the dispatch is actually simple, but it is to exchange related matters about meeting with the Alliance Emperor.

According to Cyril Sack's statement, the Alliance Emperor is very eager to meet, but wants to make the meeting grander, so I can't determine the specific time for the time being, but only within three days.

Richard was not too concerned about this. The main purpose of his visit to Shaiya this time was to give the league an explanation.On the surface, it’s okay to bow your head, letting out some peripheral interests, as long as you make sure that the alliance will stop looking for Sarin’s troubles, you can meet the alliance emperor whenever you want.

Knowing Richard's attitude, Cyril Sack clearly relieved and expressed great appreciation.After that, I didn't have much time to stay. I made a few words and excused myself to be busy. I got up and left.

When I was going out, I didn’t know whether it was a good-will reminder or a ulterior motive. Cyril Sack said: "That... Lord Richard, since you promised to meet your majesty at any time these days, it’s better to meet before Don't just leave this reception.

Seriously...Although His Majesty has succeeded to the throne for some time, some rebellious parties have not been completely eliminated, and there are a few who are trying to destroy on the street. Xia Ya is worried about security.If you go out casually, there are some accidents that will affect your meeting with your majesty."

"Is that so?" Li Cha raised his eyebrows. "Really, I really want to see the so-called rebellious party, and I just met and killed my majesty. Since I was able to help the alliance to win the national war, I will die now. A chaotic party must not be difficult."

"Uh..." Cyril Sack was taken aback for a moment, only to remember clearly that Richard's identity was not as simple as Lord Shalin alone, but also a powerful wizard.According to rumors, even one of the most powerful wizards in the entire main continent, such a person really does not need to worry about security issues in Xia Ya.

Zhang closed his lips a few times, and Cyril Sack smiled a little embarrassedly: "Well, I despised you, Lord Richard, and I apologize. But then again, there is nothing wrong with being careful anyway."

"Okay, I'll pay attention, Duke Sark."

"That's good, I'll say goodbye."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

...

In the gradually thick night, Cyril Sack left in a carriage.

Not long after Cyril Sark left, Richard left the reception and disappeared into the darkness outside.

When it appeared in more than ten minutes, it was already in front of a three-story stone building in the city of Xia.

The three-story stone building seems to have been unoccupied for a long time, with a lot of cracks and smudges on the surface of the outer wall, no light inside, and even the door at the entrance is skewed.

Richard saw the stone building, frowning, and suddenly turned to look at the alley opposite the stone building.

At the entrance of the alley, a man hidden under the gray robe appeared, stretched out his right hand from the robe, and pressed lightly on his left shoulder.

After this action, turn around and leave.

Li Cha narrowed his eyes, stepped up to catch up with each other, and turned into a common small courtyard.

In the small courtyard, there was another person hidden under the green robe waiting, and the gray robe stood consciously at the gate of the courtyard, guarding against the intrusion of others.

Li Cha looked at the Qingpao people and asked, "Are you under the name of Dragon Tree? Is there any news for me?"

"I am indeed under the command of Master Longshu. Master Longshu let me give this thing to you." Qingpao respectfully said, stepped closer and handed out a small box the size of a slap.

Richard reached for his hand and stopped halfway through his movements. He looked at Qingpao's face with some inquiry and asked with a bit of playfulness: "Are you really a dragon's man?"

Qingpao's body shivered gently and did not respond, shaking the box in the next moment.

"Click!"

The box shattered, and a blood-red light flew out of it, giving almost no reaction time, and hit Richard's body.

Like cutting the butter with a sharp blade, the light punctured the body of Richard without any obstruction, pierced through the heart, and flew out from behind.

"boom!"

Richard fell to the ground without sound.

Qingpao stayed for a while, as if he didn't think things would be so easy. After a while, he looked at the graypao and asked, "Is this dead?"

"Yes." The gray robe is not sure.
