Capítulo 1371: Chapter 1369: Missed the Target…
Outside the gates of Black Water City, those gathered for the ceremony to welco the new Lord into the city wore expressions of mixed emotions.
The reason was simple; the newly arriving Lord was vastly different from their expectations.
Not only were their manners sowhat… peculiar, but the voice that emanated from the carriage was distinctly female.
Not only female, but it sounded like a child’s voice.
What on earth… is going on here?
The crowd was stunned and silent, and the scene remained quiet for a long ti.
Eventually, the person inside the carriage couldn’t hold back any longer and asked, “What is it? If I don’t co out, will you all just stand there staring? Hmph, how boring, not fun at all. Fine, I’ll co out myself.”
As soon as the words finished, there was a few “bang bang” sounds, as a hole appeared on the side of the overturned carriage, and the person inside bent out of it.
The crowd outside the carriage saw a young girl dressed in light green, with big eyes and a flawless white face—it was Bi Bi.
It doesn’t seem like she’s the Lord… There must be so misunderstanding here… Seeing Bi Bi, many among the crowd had this thought and simultaneously turned to look at Wizard Colin… After all, it was Colin who said the Lord was about to arrive, creating this farce, so logically he should be responsible for resolving this.
Colin also reacted at that mont, and after a deep look at Bi Bi, realized things might not be as simple as imagined, cautiously asking, “May I ask… who are you? We are waiting to welco the new Lord of the Shalin fief—Lord Richard. What is your connection with Lord Richard?”
“Richard? That’s !”
“Hmm?” Hearing this, more than half of the people on the scene showed skeptical expressions.
Bi Bi took a deep breath and added, “Yes, I am… his subordinate.”
The crowd: “…” rendered speechless but felt that this was more logical.
“So you were sent by the Lord ahead of ti to understand the situation, correct?” Colin blinked at Bi Bi, asking, “Then the Lord will arrive in a little while?”
“Actually, your Lord won’t be coming in the next few days.” Bi Bi said.
“Hmm, why?” Colin asked with confusion.
“Let explain to you.” Bi Bi said.
Saying this, Bi Bi looked around and seeing nowhere to sit, lightly jumped onto the overturned carriage, swinging her legs seriously as she began, “Firstly, my na is Bi Bi. And, if you call Lady Bi Bi, I would be even happier.
As for your Lord Richard, he indeed arrived at Shalin but hasn’t co to Black Water City. While he ordered you to gather here, he went to your respective jurisdictions to inspect the situation firsthand. He will only co to Black Water City to announce his new directives after understanding the entire Shalin situation.”
Upon hearing this, the crowd first frowned, then after thinking carefully, many of their expressions began to change, especially the summoned officials.
Honestly, the reason they ca so eagerly was to make a good impression in front of the new Lord Richard, to disguise things a bit so life could be easier in the future. However, since Richard didn’t rush to et them and directly went to their managed areas to understand them, they couldn’t disguise it, and everything would be laid bare.
Most importantly, right now they were here, and it was too late to notify their subordinates to urgently respond and improve the situation in their jurisdictions. They couldn’t help but suspect whether Richard intentionally did this to control them, preventing any redial efforts.
Next, Bi Bi’s words confird their suspicions.
Bi Bi spoke seriously, “Right, your Lord Richard said all officials gathering in Black Water City must not leave before his arrival, and if anyone dares sneak away and I find out, they’ll be killed on the spot. Just like this!”
After saying this, Bi Bi casually waved her hand, and a ray of white light shot out. After flying over a hundred ters, it hit the ground directly, blasting out a big pit, with a column of mud shooting seven or eight ters high and the impact turning over a nearby stone, producing multiple cracks.
For those present, it seed like a thunderbolt exploded beside them, with their ears buzzing, and it took a long ti before their churning blood cald down, leaving their faces pale.
Wizard Colin was also sowhat surprised, casting a deep look at Bi Bi. He knew Lord Richard was incredibly formidable; he didn’t expect one of Richard’s subordinates—Bi Bi—to be so strong. Considered just in terms of destructive power, he could do it too, but not with Bi Bi’s ease, showing Bi Bi’s strength exceeded his.
…
Actually, she intended to hit the stone, but how did it go astray… Bi Bi pouted.
Now that Richard had unlocked her physical restriction, returning her to full combat prowess—though she still couldn’t match Pandora, Witch Demon Elder, Eight-Ard Skeleton, and others—intimidation was sufficient.
Yet, she internally lanted … If she had hit the stone, the intimidation effect would definitely have been better…
Thinking this, Bi Bi sowhat regretfully withdrew her hand and steely scanned the whole crowd, sternly saying, “Alright, you’ve seen the consequence. If you violate, you’ll end up like that stone… uh no, like that ground!”
“But Lady Bi Bi.” In the crowd, a chubby man nervously squeezed forward and asked with fearful eyes, “If the Lord doesn’t co soon, we can’t just stay in Black Water City indefinitely, right? After all, we have to manage our respective territories and handle various affairs. A short leave might not matter, but a prolonged absence will lead to chaos.”
“If chaos truly ensues, it proves your usual governance is lacking, showing you’re unfit as a manager. Don’t wait for to intervene; find a way to resolve it yourselves.” Bi Bi replied.
Chubby man: “…”
“Alright, that’s enough.” Bi Bi saw many people still eager to speak and promptly waved her hand to cut them off, ”
That’s it for today. Your city prepared a residence for your Lord Richard, right? Then take there please. Rember, while I am just the subordinate of your Lord, I represent the City Lord, so treat with the sa respect you’d treat the Lord. If you let down, hmm hmm, don’t bla for punishing you!”
The crowd wore strange expressions yet had no choice but to humbly usher Bi Bi into Black Water City and ticulously attend to her.
All the while tending to Bi Bi, they anxiously awaited the real Lord Richard’s arrival, and couldn’t help but wonder what circumstances this Lord was investigating.
