Chapter 33 Chapter 33: The Fugitive

The Highlanders gather outside the gates of the state-run observatory.The three of them hurriedly joined the crowd.Gen found that the number of highland guards had increased compared to when they arrived here, and the highland guards who did not join the assembly and continued to perform security tasks at their posts had serious expressions. "Everyone who is here, please listen to me." In the middle of the chaotic crowd, a loud voice sounded.Using the wooden box as a podium, standing on it and looking around at everyone was a highland guard of the Water Terran who was even bigger than Ki Kema.He has a round shield on his back and a green dragon knife on his waist.The body is covered with armor scales, but still wears a leather breastplate.

"My name is Pole Kim Nan. I'm the director of the Rurud Police Station." He said loudly. "After the coalition government designated Rurud as the first type of enhanced security area, everyone from the various police stations rushed to reinforce it. First of all, I am deeply grateful for this. Fortunately, no major chaos has occurred in Rurud and the Observatory so far. .There was a little disturbance in Suian just now, but the incident was controlled in the bud. It shows that you are dedicated to your duties." The highland guards were all big men, so as soon as Gen joined them, they were blocked by a human wall.Ki Kima stretched out his arm and put it on his shoulder.Then he stretched out his left arm, and Mina climbed onto it without saying a word, and sat on Ki Kima's left shoulder.

The field of vision widened, and Gen saw Captain Lummel walking down from the front gate of the state-run observatory.He is clad in armor, with a helmet tucked between his sides.The next evening steps crossed the vestibule and stopped a little beyond the Highlanders' circle. From the side of the state-run observatory appeared five or six knights holding Uda reins and neatly dressed. They might be waiting for the captain to come out.The captain nodded slightly to them, and the knights immediately took a straight and still posture, raised their right hands straight up, and placed them on their chests—to salute the captain, and then rested a little after they settled down.

One of the Udas led by the knights carried a heavy sack on the saddle.Not ordinary goods, even through the sack, you can still see the shape of the head and body.This is the body of Jo Thedas, who fell to his death from the tower.It was probably transported to the Rurud Town Police Station. "During this extraordinary period, the following instructions have been issued to all police stations." Pole Kim Nan took out a stack of papers from the gap in the leather chest guard, raised it above his head, waved it, and opened it. "This letter is not from the Federal Parliament, but an urgent order from the chiefs of our police stations. The content is to track down and arrest criminals who are fleeing. Some people have stolen confidential documents related to the fate of the United States of the Southern Continent. Crossed the border of Najato and fled to Aliquida. In addition, this fugitive is likely to haunt the town of Lurud."

The highland guards started discussing, and a question came out of the noise: "Is there more than one fugitive?" Pole Kim Nan replied: "No, it is a person. The life and age are unknown, but it must be an Anka man." "Which country are you from?" "It's not clear at all. But there is a wanted poster for his portrait. It will be distributed to you later." "Even though it was fleeing towards Aliquita, Aliquita is too big. Are there any other clues?" The voices of conformity arose everywhere.Pole Kim Nan nodded solemnly. "The fugitive attempted to smuggle into the North to unite the empire."

There was a sound of surprise.Everyone can't wait to discuss. "So, the focus is on the Port of Aliquida area?" "Hadaye or Dakar—no, the promised port is also possible." "In short, the main road has to be blocked." A loud female voice asked a sharp question: "So, is that guy a spy of the Northern Unified Empire?" "The origin is unknown. But it's okay to think so." The uproar grew louder.The crowd is passionate.There are clenched fists dangling everywhere, so the fire dragon wristband worn on the wrist is like a red flower in the field being swayed by the wind.

"Everyone, please listen to me." A word from Boje Kim Nam made everyone quiet.His voice was naturally loud enough, but what moved everyone was the look on his serious face. "As I said just now, this order was not issued by the Federal Parliament, but by our police station with its own authority. Everyone understands that this is a very rare thing. Needless to say, the origin of the police station is still there. It is an organization that is loyal to the federal government and obeys the federal government." He glanced at Mina.For some reason, he suddenly felt an inexplicable heartbeat.Mina also noticed Wataru's gaze and turned her face away.

"It is clear that the Federal Government did not authorize this emergency order. Members of Parliament have made public statements expressing their great regret that the Garrison Station had issued instructions to its subordinate Highlanders without the recognition of Parliament. They are still gathered in Parliament hall." A woman nearby said that MPs are just so boring.She looked disdainful. "The federal parliament is located in Zakyheim, the capital of Aliquida." Ki Kima told Gen in a low voice, "Zakyheim has no factories or mines. There is no farmland either. This city is almost built for politics. Representatives of parliamentarians from various countries Living there, more than half of the year is spent in meetings."

What are you going to do for the rest of the year? Just as Gen was thinking, Pole Kim Nan's voice became even more passionate. "However, there are corresponding reasons for the decision of the chiefs of the police station. Everyone." He looked around at the Highlanders. "Last night, the goddess came to the dreams of our four directors. The goddess personally issued an order to this fugitive who is peaceful in the Southern Continent. Therefore, the chiefs of the police station did not hesitate to fight with the Federal Parliament. We give orders." Ki Kima took a deep breath, and Wataru, who was sitting on his shoulder, felt the expansion of his chest.Looking at it again, Ki Kima's eyes were slightly moist.

"I'm so grateful..." He murmured, "The goddess actually came here... and personally issued an edict..." Seeing that Ki Kima was moved, he was about to bow down on the spot, but Mina hurriedly patted him on the back to stop him. "Don't, don't. Ki Kima, we're going to fall." The Highlanders also erupted.The human wall is here and there: some people kneel down, some prostrate, some bow and pray, and there are various ways.And the agitated look is no different from Ki Kema. "We are the warriors of the Goddess of Creation. We are the defenders of Hepu Youkai in the fantasy world. Now is the time for us to show our talents and show the goddess that we are worthy of the mark of the descendants of the fire dragon!"

Woohoo!Cheers sounded and morale was high.Gen's cheeks felt the temperature around him rising. According to Pole Kim Nan's instructions, the highland guards began to discuss and assign their respective tasks in pairs.Because of the excitement, everyone spoke in a hurry.Some detachments are about to take Uda on the road. "What should we do? What should we do? Ask to join the team that checks the road? Or set up a net to search and arrest in Lurud?" Ki Kima was also in a hurry.With Gen and Mina on their shoulders, they walked around. "What's the matter with saying that the fugitive might pass by Rurud?" Mina was still holding Ki Kima's neck, thinking cleverly. "If it's just for the northward crossing, you don't have to go around Lulude, just go straight to Aliquida. Speaking of which, where did this fugitive come from?" "This was not mentioned in the communication." Gen said, "I am quite worried. That incident may be related to his theft of important confidential German content." "Oh... For example, in order to understand and decipher the secret content, he needs Lurud to read the wisdom of the astral man?" Gen nodded, if so, Dr. Paxang and Luo Mei would be in danger again. "Hey, Ki Kima, let's stay in Lurud and help with the security work." While talking like this, Captain Rummel approached.He was still holding his helmet between his sides, and a pair of subordinates followed.Gen and Mina slid off Ki Kima's shoulders. "team leader……" Captain Rummel nodded to Gen, and raised his head to Ki Kema's face.Although the captain is also tall, he still can't compare with Ji Kema. "It seems that the matter is very important. You have to protect the young highland guard." Ki Kima grinned.He suddenly became angry: "It's amazing. Don't worry, Mr. Captain." Gen felt that the words were too abrupt, so he tugged Ki Kima's leather waistband unconsciously.Mina's blue-gray eyes widened. "We're heading to the mining town of Aliquida right now." The mayor said to Gen. "The mine workers rioted, and the riots are expanding. Ignoring them may cause heavy casualties." "Is that also because of... 'Hanela'?" "Yes, if you enter Aliquida for hunting fugitives, please be very careful. Aliquida is the largest of the four countries, and its population is small. Although it is also very rich, the gap between rich and poor is too obvious. Because of such national conditions , 'Haniela' is particularly frightening, far less than Shashaya or Naharto." Gen solemnly said "Understood", and bowed. The captain took a step.Just half a step away, he suddenly remembered—no, he decided to say what was on his mind quickly, and turned around, slapping a hand on Heng's shoulder.The silver gauntlet gleamed, and the armor clanged. "You are a 'passenger'." The captain looked straight into Gen's eyes and said, "Your purpose is to see the goddess. Please be careful, don't worry about unnecessary things, and put yourself in danger. I firmly believe that the security of the fantasy world , should be protected by the hands of the inhabitants of the fantasy world." The captain's blue eyes shone with a sharp, deep light, and Wataru seemed mesmerized.This light made him think of the gem he was looking for, the source of power for the sword of the brave. "I also heard about what happened just now." The captain said in a calm tone.His gaze didn't move away from Gen's face. "If the chiefs of the police station dispatch the highland guards without the approval of the Federal Parliament and anger the Parliament, the Schudinger Knights, who I am loyal to the Federal Parliament, may become hostile to them in some places in the future." Gen was taken aback.That's right.That's what happened.That's why Ki Kima was so rude to the captain. "Even if something like that happens, don't get involved. You're the 'passenger.' You have to do your job. Don't forget that." At this point, a smile appeared on his sun-baked face. "'Brancis Katz' must agree with me. She is your boss. I hope you will listen to her orders just now." This time the captain jumped onto Uda, issued a majestic order to his subordinates, and galloped away. For a long time, he watched the knights go away.He didn't feel the gaze from behind until he couldn't see the captain and his party.Although most of the highland guards have dispersed.But some people remained around the gate, including the guards. They all cast the same cold gaze.That kind of gaze must have been cast on the Shudinger Knights before. "We are not partners of the Schudinger Knights." Ki Kima said loudly.He didn't protest to anyone, he just talked loudly to himself. An inexplicable uneasiness emerged in Gen's heart, like a smoke screen.Can this state really survive "Hanera"?Can you really embrace the peace of the fantasy world? Thank you Captain Lummel for your kindness.However, until now, peace in the fantasy world is no longer superfluous to Heng.For Wataru who might be selected as the "half body" by "Haneira", this is a very important matter. "what?" Mina suddenly called out. "What's going on? Hey, Heng, look!"
