C395 Catastrophe of the Desolate Wall 3(1)

The streets of Harrogath were empty, whether they were from the Arreat or not. Most of them wouldn't miss this annual grand ceremony. Only a few shops opened by foreigners were still open. "Master, I saw you near the library that day. What are you doing there?" I asked as I ran.

"Mm, that library isn't simple, it has a lot of valuable information. The owner of the library seems to have a very good source of information, regarding the major events that have occurred in the past... He will soon organize the books and sell them. The owner of the library is very likely to have a huge intelligence agency. His purpose in coming to Arreat must not be as simple as doing business. " Dukat Kane said in a low voice.

Well, this library does have a lot of information. Otherwise, why would there be a book that described what happened to me and my father in Arreat to be the closest to the truth of history?

"You'd better get some clothes and a piece of cloth to cover your face." Dukat Kane reminded him kindly.

My heart ached inexplicably. In City of Light, Omas also advised me like this, but Marina told me. There is nothing shameful about my profession. The way she pulled off my face cloth and threw it far away still made me feel warm, but our fate has finally come to an end.

For the sake of the bigger picture, I didn't deliberately insist on anything. I stopped when I passed by a clothing store that was completely deserted. I randomly picked a navy blue robe and bought a big straw hat from the shop owner. After that, I hurried over to the altar in Harrogath.

The huge altar of Harrogath was packed with people. Except for the warriors who were training in the training camp, there was no one else. All the adults in Arreat must participate in this grand ceremony. In my era, the population of Arreat didn't exceed thirty thousand. And now, there are more than thirty thousand adult warriors present. The increase in population also increased the absolute number of elite warriors. The people of Arreat today... If one had the ambition to expand their territory, it might be unstoppable by any country. The other countries would join forces to cause trouble for Arreat. Perhaps it was because the strength of Arreat had already threatened the balance of power.

I put Dukat Kane down and slowly approached the crowd. It wasn't just the people from the Arreat who were present. Many foreigners also rushed over to watch. I mixed into the crowd and no one noticed my existence.

In the middle of the altar, there were twelve neat rows of people. This represented the eleven most prominent families at that time. Each family had a seat in the Elders Guild. The other group was full of childish boys, standing in the middle. Could it be that the screening ceremony for the sixth-year old had been changed to the day of July 13?

The eleven teams did not have the same number of people, and there were hundreds of them. There were only a few dozen of them. The families with fewer people earned glory by relying on the hard work of the elites of the family in recent times. The families with more people were protected by their ancestors. In the Arreat, although martial power was the measurement of all value, but for those with the protection of their ancestors, their starting point would be relatively high. It would also be easier for them to inherit the glory of their ancestors.

I remember Anya saying that her family's team would stand on the east side. I immediately looked towards the east. As expected, I saw that mischievous great pharmacist. She was looking around anxiously, as if she was looking for something in the crowd. Anya's family did not seem to be very strong. There were no more than a hundred men and women in the group. But to be able to line up in the east, it was obvious that her family's status was very high. That Law Enforcement Elder, Enotec, should be Anya's father.

My eyes slowly turned to the family with the most population. That must be the Su family. After hundreds of years, they still firmly occupied the seats of the two Elders Guild. They were clearly hereditary aristocrats. I was flipping through the pages with my face, but I still couldn't see Soutar's face. Could it be that Soutar relied on his own strength to even dare to miss this grand ceremony?

Three rows of strong warriors stood in a neat row outside the eleven families, separating the rest of the family members. There was nothing strange about the existence of special privileges in every country.

The ceremony had yet to begin, because the members of the Elders Guild had yet to appear. The news of the patriarch's assassination had clearly been tightly covered up by them, and the members of the Elders Guild at the scene still knew nothing about it.

"This year is a little strange. The time for the blessing has already passed, why hasn't the patriarch appeared yet?" The people around me began to whisper to each other.

"This isn't strange. The patriarch is already old. He might be recommending a new successor today. Perhaps they haven't come to a conclusion yet."

"How many boys will be chosen for this year's selection ceremony? Your kid will be six years old next year, right?"

"Yes, yes. I hope he won't be chosen. It's not bad to be a businessman like me. Although he doesn't have the honor of being a warrior, at least he won't die prematurely."

"Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes. Your child probably isn't suited to be a warrior either. It's just that a businessman doesn't have any status. I hope that my child can fight for his honor and become a great hero respected by everyone like Zhang Loong in the future. "
