Chapter 832: Chapter 309: Great Changes in the Imperial City (Combined Double Chapter)
This made Anna’s heart clench!
Because her first thought was ‘Flashgold Town seems to have been attacked, and as the Deputy Chief of Security, Rein might be injured, or even…’
One of the main reasons she came here this time was to check on Rein and Bo He.
Only seeing Anna’s graceful figure, she immediately rushed towards Flashgold Town, but after taking a few steps, she suddenly remembered something and stopped.
With the crisp and short sound of a spell, specks of light flashed across her face, and her previously somewhat pointed ears became indistinguishable from those of a human.
Her fair and clean face now had some freckles, and her complexion also dulled quite a bit.
This made Anna look just like an ordinary human girl, no different at all.
After casting the spell, Anna continued to run toward Flashgold Town.
Additionally, this time she did not choose to transform into a great deer, after all, in human settlements, transforming into an animal is too conspicuous.
Soon, Anna reached the outskirts of Flashgold Town.
Sure enough, she was right.
Inside Flashgold Town, although a period has passed since the Black Flame Cult’s attack, the streets have mostly been cleaned up.
But due to the massive decrease in population, many houses remain collapsed and appear abandoned.
The whole town presents a bleak appearance.
Anna’s face changed drastically, and she quickly ran to Rein’s new home location as she remembered.
A few minutes later, she stood dumbfounded before a wide expanse of ruins, staring blankly, while murmuring to herself: “How is this possible…”
“Rein is so powerful, there shouldn’t be any accidents…”
Yet the sight before her seemed to tell her that this world is unpredictably dangerous; thus, even unexpected occurrences are not surprising.
In fact, when the Black Flame Cult attacked, the town’s administration was one of the main targets, and many surrounding buildings were destroyed.
And located next to the town’s administration hall, naturally, Rein’s new home wasn’t spared.
After a brief panic, Anna calmed down and decided to inquire with others.
But looking around, she found the streets had few pedestrians, and most were unfamiliar faces, hurrying along.
Fortunately, she soon saw a group of three security officers patrolling, and she immediately ran up, somewhat anxiously asking:
“Hello, may I ask about the original Deputy Chief of Security of Flashgold Town, Rein…” Anna did not finish her sentence, but pointed to the ruins instead.
The leading security officer looked at Anna with a puzzled expression.
Feeling very confused.
If this young girl is a relative or friend of Lord Rein, how could she not know that he has already left Flashgold Town?
However, her eyes seemed clear, and her demeanor had a neighborly-girl sense of warmth, so perhaps she was unlikely to be a cult spy. Thus he replied:
“Lord Rein? He hasn’t lived here for quite some time.”
“Ah? Not living here anymore? That’s good…” Anna breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, nothing happened; it seems he merely moved.
“Then… do you know where he moved to? I am his… a friend.” Anna thought for a moment and asked again.
Another young security officer seemed to admire Rein as an idol, speaking with eyes full of admiration:
“Lord Rein is quite something now. I heard he has moved to the province Mingster. But the Baron seems to have an estate in the county town, you could inquire there.”
“Baron?” Anna’s beautiful eyes widened, her small mouth slightly open in amazement.
Did she hear wrong just now?
Has Rein become an Imperial Noble already?
Anna’s heart was instantly filled with a raging storm.
Though she had watched Rein’s powers grow rapidly, she never expected that after only three months apart, he would leap to become a Baron.
Rein’s pace of promotion is incredibly fast!
“Right? Aren’t you Lord Rein’s friend? Don’t you know he has been promoted to Baron long ago? How long have you been away?” The young officer looked at Anna, surprised.
“Um… I indeed haven’t returned for quite some time.” Anna explained, a bit embarrassed.
Though she said so, she was actually a bit confused inside; is three months considered a long time?
“Thank you so much.” Anna gave the three security officers a ladylike curtsey.
“By the way, has Flashgold Town been subject to an attack?”
Since she knew where Rein was, Anna was no longer anxious and instead asked about the situation in Flashgold Town.
“Yes, you haven’t returned in a long time, so you don’t know, Flashgold Town is right…” Facing the girl’s inquiry, the officers were more than willing to answer.
After a lively conversation, Anna gradually digested the series of events that happened in Flashgold Town during her absence.
Hearing those familiar names, some sacrificed, others missing, made Anna’s heart tighten.
“Fortunately, Rein, Bo He are alright…”
“No wonder Aunt Delana strongly opposed my venturing out, saying things are tumultuous outside, and I have just stepped into the formal Druid tier, my fighting power is not strong.”
Actually, this time, after successfully advancing to a formal Druid, Anna hurried from Ferdinand Forest’s Druid Circle to Flashgold Town, thinking she should be able to help Rein now.
