This caused an uproar in the city.

Although the lord immediately sent troops to seal the pharmacy, saying that he would investigate the matter, and posted notices throughout the process denying that he had directed the guards to attack Jason, claiming that the guards had made their own decisions.

But the residents in the town believed the hunters' claims more.

Rumors spread for a time, Lute's reputation, which had been relatively good, plummeted, and residents expressed strong distrust of the current lord.

After the conflict that night, Root was frightened and stayed in bed.

He didn't take any action, never showed up again, and didn't even pay attention to citizens' petitions.

Lord's Longhouse.

The damage caused by the battle that night was barely repaired, but some traces can still be seen.

The Inspector of White Plains City went up the stairs to the master bedroom, pushed the door open and saw Root sitting listlessly on the bedside.

"You're here, please sit down." Root said weakly.

The inspector of Baiyuan City ignored him and asked himself:

"Lord Root, I need to know about recent events and rumors in the city."

Each town in the Terra Empire is ruled by lords and has a high degree of autonomy, but the Terra Empire will not ignore it.

A few years after the founding of the country, the Terra Empire set up "outposts", or local supervisors, in all towns.

It only has the responsibility of surveillance and is responsible for transmitting information to the empire, such as what happened in this town, what system the lord has formulated, etc. In addition, it will basically not interfere with the lord's local rule.

On the surface, everything is definitely going well. The local supervisor will not disturb the lord, and the lord will not care about the local supervisor.

As for privately, there are basically dissensions. There may be some supervisors who want to use their power to intimidate the lords and collect "protection fees", or the lords may bribe or deceive the supervisors. There are various operations.

Of course, the control power of tribal lords and airborne lords are completely different.

Facing the tribal lords who are like local snakes, local supervisors are usually very sensible and can just be a decoration and go about their daily lives.

However, Zhou Jing's recent act of attacking and killing the lord has spread throughout the city, which is very sensitive and cannot be ignored by the Baiyuan City Supervisor.

Root was not surprised that the other party came to the door, with a tired look on his face: "What do you want to know?"

"What happened when that hunter attacked you? There is also the so-called inside story of the pharmacy. You have to give the empire an explanation!"

The inspector of Baiyuan City was not polite.

"I know……"

Root coughed twice weakly and said it intermittently. It was still the same excuse to shirk responsibility. Anyway, if he didn't know, it was the selfishness of his subordinates.

The inspector of Baiyuan City frowned slightly, obviously not believing it, but there was nothing he could do about Root.

He suddenly changed the subject and warned:

"The trouble this time is not small. You have angered the hunters in the entire area. I will report the truth to the central government of the empire. They may feel that you are no longer qualified to be a lord."

"...If I were to be replaced, the successor could only be chosen from my tribe's blood relatives."

Root's expression remained unchanged.

The Inspector of White Plains City found that Root did not seem to be worried about this problem, and his brows could not help but frown even more.

"Okay, then I will report it truthfully."

After saying that, the inspector of Baiyuan City did not stay, but turned around and left.

Root's face suddenly darkened, and he was in a very bad mood.

These days, he has been on tenterhooks for fear of being attacked by other hunters.

Without the extraordinary guards around him, he could only mobilize more than half of his army to guard the castle day and night.

Fortunately, the other hunters remained rational and did not attack the lord's mansion and go on a killing spree.

However, the truth claimed by the hunters stirred up rumors in the city and left him mentally and physically exhausted.

Dozens of hunters in White Plains City showed strong rejection towards him, and he could not suppress the rumors.

As long as he dares to be tough, the hunter will leave at any time, and the dissatisfaction of the residents of White Plains City with him will reach its peak. Even if he can still be the lord, White Plains City will become increasingly depressed.

However, he still needs to hold on tightly to the position of the lord. Now only this identity can protect his safety... Hunters like Jason who kill the lord regardless of the consequences are in the minority after all.

He could see that the hunters wanted to prompt the empire to replace him.

But I'm not too worried.

The person who pulled him into that huge plan was a powerful person in the imperial court, and he was also his backer in the court.

Root believed that his backer would find a way to keep his position...even if it was to stabilize him and not expose everyone's plans, he had to do this.

"I don't have to worry about the central part of the empire. My most important task is to clear up clues and prevent people from the empire from pursuing them..."

Root's face looked uncertain.

The empire cannot be allowed to discover the plot behind it, otherwise the whole plan of the patron will be affected.

As for the bitter consequences of White Plains City becoming depressed, it can only be swallowed temporarily.

However, as long as you wait for the day when you cheer up, the current losses will definitely be made up for!

He was convinced of this.

…

The world of alien beasts, somewhere.

In the dim cave, people came and went, and supplies piled up like a stronghold.

Several people dressed in different costumes sat in a circle around the stone table and talked quietly.

"The person sent to White Plains City to protect the lord was killed."

"Who did it? Chidu, Hein, people from Dongluo? Or a stowaway explorer from some giant consortium or illegal organization?"

"No, it seems that he just got involved in a conflict between the indigenous people and died together with an indigenous hunter."

"Are you sure the murderer was an indigenous person?"

"It has been checked. The murderer's name is Jason Wood. He was originally an ordinary person and lived in a village near White Plains City. He was strengthened with different blood a few months ago and transformed into a transcendent. I have drawn it based on other people's descriptions.

I took the portrait back and am going to take it back to compare and confirm again... Let me judge that this person is most likely a real aborigine."

"Tsk, he was actually killed by a native. It's so shameful... What level of superpower was the one who died?"

"Level one is an artificial superpower who has taken genetic medicine. He has practiced some martial arts and is Marvin's assistant... Marvin went back in the first two batches and is not in this world now."

"Okay, since it was done by the natives, there is no need to interfere. Let's recover the assistant's body and put it on the death list."

"good."

Several people discussed it for a few words and quickly ended the topic. Obviously, in their opinion, this was just a small matter.

At this time, the figure who looked like a leader knocked on the table and said in a deep voice:

"This time the exchange period is coming to an end, we can stop all plans, withdraw all the people from outside, return to various strongholds and wait calmly to withdraw from this world, and stop going outside for activities."

"clear."

Several other people responded one after another.

Some people couldn't help but sigh:
Chapter completed!
