She originally thought Lin Xiao was someone amazing, with a maid in his left arm and a princess in his right, but she found out that in front of those two, he was nothing…

“Brother, dont provoke Elena from now on, shes so scary.

Also, dont bother ShenDai Ying either, Im afraid shell cut you down…”

Yao Zi told him so with his safety in mind.

Although they seemed cordial on the surface and the two beauties were talking and smiling, Yao Zi was a woman and was rather sensitive to the delicate subtleties between women and she could notice something dark hidden underneath the harmonious illusion.

Daggers hidden within their smiles, jealous of one another, their silent battles were cruel and unusual.

Just as Yao Zi was thinking about it, they started fighting again.

As they were heading west and after they finished replenishing their supplies after they just passed a small town, the two started competing again.

First, Elena said that she bought apples at the town earlier and wanted to share with her master.

Of course Lin Xiao was pleased and was about to enjoy some apples with her when he was suddenly called away by ShenDai Ying.

“Lin Xiao, well be leaving the borders in a couple of days, what are your plans for this mission”

“Mission Ah, mission, I, I still havent thought about it…”

When she suddenly mentioned the mission, Lin Xiao finally remembered that he still doesnt know anything about it.

ShenDai Ying severely lectured him about that, she put on a stern face but was actually happy that she was able to use that as an excuse to pull Lin Xiao away from Elena.

Elena stared at the apple in her hand, then tossed the apple she meticulously washed away without saying anything and turned to find Xiao Tian to take out her anger on.

“There‘s a pandemic at Gotham Kingdom.”

You have to start from several months ago.

At that time, the inhabitants of a small town on the west side of Gotham Kingdom contracted a strange disease.

Because they were far and information was stifled, it didnt attract too much attention.

In just a couple of days, the disease quickly spread and all the residents of the town died overnight and that was where the disease came from.

Unfortunately, Gotham Kingdom didnt have any experience with a pandemic and couldnt find an effective cure.

Whats worse is that the Holy Light church didnt have much power in Gotham Kingdom, so they only had churches in the capital and affluent areas, so they didnt find out about it quick enough and had no time to distribute medicine.

In the end, the pandemic spread fast and far, from the initial small town to over half the western kingdom!

It seems the rebels were headed by someone called Ma Long.

They didnt know how he did it, but he was able to involve several lords and turn their small city states into one large resistance army and headed towards the capital.

Usually, rebels are spurned, but Ma Long used the pandemic to justify the rebellion.

Yes, they werent revolting, they simply wanted to save this country!

Why was the disease able to kill tens of thousands of people

Why cant Gotham Kingdom deal with a mere pandemic

Because this kingdom was already sick!

The royalty were debauched, the officials feasted off the citizens, the people lived in poverty so thats why this terrifying pandemic happened… yes, this was simply the Goddesss punishment for Gotham Kingdom.

It was time for the people that were suffering to pick up their weapons and unite to save this incurable country!

If they wanted to cure it, they have to bravely cut it open and cut out the malignant tumor and construct a brand new country on top of the ruins!

And so, Ma Longs resistance army became a symbol of justice, the light of hope to save the corrupted kingdom! And Gotham Kingdom was hit by both the pandemic and rebellion and were in a tough spot.

Civil unrest would usually be internal so outside forces wouldnt intervene, but this times trouble wouldnt just be theirs alone, if the pandemic wasnt controlled, no matter who wins or loses, the entire kingdom would fall to the disease and at that time, the entire continent would be dragged in!

This pandemic involved the fate of all of humanity!

Thus, the four kingdom alliance decided to issue a S rank mission, gathering investigators from all over the continent to head towards Gotham Kingdom and save the people.

“But our position is quite delicate, so you have to be careful.”

ShenDai Ying suddenly changed the topic.

As an investigator, their mission wasnt to help Gotham Kingdom, but to help them control the pandemic, although similar, the two were radically different.

“Sister Ying, I understand… so theyre saying to watch the fire from across the river, right”

“Eh T-thas right.”

ShenDai Ying was surprised that Lin Xiao was able to understand the deeper meaning so quickly.

The four kingdom alliance wasnt the goddess of light who saves people from suffering, although they say they devote themselves to all humans, they still had to consider their own interests.

Based on the current situation, Gotham Kingdoms army still had the upper hand.

The resistance army was formed by just a couple of small city states in the first place, so it would be difficult to gather a sizable army in a short amount of time.

It wasnt even known whether they could break through the first line of defense in the south or not, let alone the capital.

However, the crucial part was time…

Although the kingdom had the upper hand right now, it would slowly diminish over time.

Because of Ma Longs saying of cutting out the tumor and rebuilding the kingdom, the resistance army reputation rose and their scale grew day by day.

The larger city states to the sides could easily betray the kingdom at any time, and then the kingdom wouldnt be able to be sure of their victory any more.

Thats why the four kingdom alliance issues a strict order to all investigators that no one should intervene and help or make an enemy of either side, everyone must adhere to neutrality.

All the investigators had to do was help control the disease, as for the war, it was simple, whoever wins becomes boss… the alliance will accept whoever wins, to them, it makes no different whos the king of Gotham Kingdom.

“I understand that… but, I dont understand, we investigators arent doctors, so how can we help with the pandemic even if they send us over”

“… That, I dont know either.”

Lin Xiao was smart, he easily saw through to the crux of the problem.

Why were they sending investigators to control the pandemic

Shouldnt they notify the church and get the pope to send the saints and saintesses to purify the area

The only things on this continent that could fight against the evil pandemic were potions and the blessings of the goddess.

The investigators werent believers and werent doctors, they didnt have the ability to defeat something they couldnt see or touch.

“Perhaps this pandemic isnt so simple.” ShenDai Ying guessed.

“Not so simple, huh…”

Since the information was limited, they wouldnt be able to know no matter how hard they thought about it, so they could only wait until the time comes.

Right now they had to leave Lombard Kingdom, pass through the famous wailing canyon before they could successfully enter Gotham Kingdom.

Then they would have to find the alliance office at the capital and cooperate with the local administrator and other investigators and officially start the mission.

“How far until were at Gotham Kingdom” Lin Xiao lazily asked on the carriage.

“Whats the rush, we still havent arrived at the wailing canyon yet, we can only enter Gotham Kingdom after passing through… Our next stop is night town, its on the way there and the last stop before leaving Lombard Kingdom.” ShenDai Ying replied.

“Night town, never heard of it… since you know, then well listen to you!”

“Ah you, youre so lazy!”

ShenDai Ying couldnt do anything about his laziness.

Although Lin Xiao was their leader in name, everything so far has been taken care of by ShenDai Ying.

But ShenDai Ying didnt have any complaints, rather she enjoyed it, it could be seen as a sign of trust.

Other than that, ShenDai Ying also told Lin Xiao that Caesar and Rosie already left a week ago.

They probably already passed through the canyon and would arrive at the capital first.

Lin Xiao didnt care about that.

It didnt matter who was first, although they were all investigators that took the mission, to Lin Xiao, his main goal was to help Elena with her investigation, so he didnt need to worry about competing with Caesar.

He would be more happy if Caesar could hurry to Gotham Kingdom and take care of the pandemic first, so that he wouldnt have to do anything.

Of course, only Elena could understand his feelings, no one else could understand his indifference and just took him as being lazy.

In a blink of an eye, there was only one day left until night town.

Nighttime, outskirts

At the camp a shadow silently appeared and the one standing there was a black-haired girl.

“Youre here”

“Un… Miss, how is everything”
