A drizzle enveloped Silvermoon City. The plants along the streets of the central city were growing wildly on days like this, but no one appreciated the thriving greenery.

From downtown to midtown, the tracks were packed with people. Even the humid air couldn't stop people's enthusiasm for watching.

"The glory of this war will belong to the entire Silvermoon City!" An inspiring recruitment speech was heard on the train carrying soldiers.

When the train, which had been touring for three days to mobilize people, left, the residents who had just crowded on the track were still having heated discussions.

"I heard that the advance team will head north to the mountain range in seven days!"

The people around him expressed their opinions one after another: "That's how it should be! Have you heard? The fire in the Duke's Mansion was caused by the Mountain Range!"

"Is this true? Didn't the city lord say that he would personally announce the results of the investigation?"

"My cousin works at the police department..."

In the crowd, Tian Yu lowered the brim of his raincoat, quietly left the crowd and walked towards the downtown area.

Half a month had passed since the fire in the Duke's Mansion. During the fire, she rescued Vivian who was in the next room, but the Duke and his wife were nowhere to be found, and even their bodies had not been found.

On the morning of the second day after the fire, the City Lord's Mansion issued an order to the entire city to conduct a thorough investigation, and the City Lord himself promised to announce the results of the investigation in person.

The fire in the Duke's Mansion caused the cancellation of the parliamentary vote that was originally scheduled for the near future. For a time, the whole city was in a panic, and the smoke of war had already spread over Silvermoon City.

The fire came at such a strange and timely moment that it even made the war a foregone conclusion. Tian Yu didn't believe that it had nothing to do with the players.

After packing the candies and various snacks, Tian Yu walked towards Daniel's house.

"She still refuses to eat?" Tian Yu walked in and looked at John who was guarding here.

The other person shook his head, with an expression of wanting to say something but stopping himself. Tian Yu pushed open the door of Vivian's room, and she was sitting blankly on the edge of the bed.

"This is your favorite flavor." Tian Yu put the candy in his hand on the bedside.

Vivian forced a smile on her still dazed face and looked at Tian Yu: "Thank you, Anna, how is the situation outside?"

"Not so good, they are still looking for you." Tian Yu answered truthfully.

After rescuing Vivian that day, Tian Yu fled with the unconscious Vivian and only returned to Daniel's residence with the help of John.

After waking up, Vivian showed extreme strength and calmness. She knew in her heart that the fire was not an accident, but the sadness and confusion in her heart were nowhere to be dispelled. She began to lose weight noticeably these days.

Tian Yu didn't dare let her go out. The police department was looking for Vivian everywhere. She even suspected that she might be on the wanted list. Without the help of the disguise potion, she became cautious when going out, and most of the time it was John who did it for her.

Vivian fell silent again after hearing this, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"Eat something." Tian Yu handed the bread to Vivian.

Even though she had no appetite, Vivian took a bite of bread: "I've been wondering, is my father really still alive?"

The body of Duke Silver Moon has not been found yet, and Tian Yu has always told her that this was part of the Duke's plan.

"Of course, have you forgotten? He is the omnipotent Duke of Silver Moon." Tian Yu put the milk in Vivian's hand as well.

"Sometimes no news is the best news. Using some sleight of hand can reveal the enemy in the dark." Tian Yu was actually not sure about the Duke's life or death and whereabouts, but she always felt that the other party would not give up so easily.

After closing the door of Vivian's room, Tian Yu came to sit next to John: "What's wrong?"

"Today is the eighteenth day since Daniel set out." John said with a serious expression.

Tian Yu understood what John meant. According to Daniel's speed, he should have reached the Tower of Light by now, or the Tower of Light should have sent new news, but there was still no news from them in Silvermoon City.

John looked at Tian Yu who was in deep thought. Once the war officially began, it might get out of control in the direction predicted.

Tian Yu was also thinking, once the war started, would the dungeon be declared over? If the player was not found, it would mean that he would be wiped out.

......

On the second day, rumors about the truth behind the fire at the Duke's Mansion began to circulate in Silvermoon City. Although the City Lord's Mansion did not announce any results of the investigation, rumors were already circulating among the people that the fire was related to the Duke's attempt to sell out Silvermoon City.

John brought the information he had obtained back home. Tian Yu frowned as he listened to the rumors that were becoming more and more intense among the people. Vivian said angrily that this was absolutely impossible, but she had no way to argue with others.

Now, among the three, Vivian is the one in the most dangerous situation. Tian Yu feels that this is just a prelude to a conspiracy.

That night, Tian Yu gave John a token and asked him to find the only helper he could think of.

"I want to send you out of the city to seek knowledge in the Highlands." After returning to the house, Tian Yu presented his idea to Vivian.

"Why?" Vivian couldn't believe her ears.

"This is a complete conspiracy, the purpose of which is to start a war." Tian Yu explained, "Duke Silver Moon may be innocent, but people who don't know the truth won't think so."

"The fire in the Duke's Mansion and the Duke's disappearance are a plan that kills two birds with one stone." Tian Yu sorted out his thoughts -

"The bigwigs in Silvermoon City may think about their own interests, but the people won't. They will complain that the war has made their lives worse, and they will be terrified by the prophecy of the Seeking Highlands."

"At this time, diverting their attention and creating a new enemy can eliminate most of the impact."

"Duke Silvermoon collaborated with the enemy and committed suicide out of fear of punishment. The forces in the south are trying to seize the power of Silvermoon City."

"No matter how hard it is, the proud people of Silvermoon City will tacitly acknowledge the legitimacy of this war."

Tian Yu looked at Vivian: "You, the only daughter of Duke Silver Moon, will bear the consequences of the conspiracy and the anger of the people."

Vivian's shoulders slumped and she sat on the bed, no longer having the strength to resist. She knew that Tian Yu's proposal was the best option, but it was difficult for her to accept the truth for a while.

"Let me think about it..." She uttered the words with difficulty.

Tian Yu stood up and left the room, giving her time to think.

John saw Tian Yu coming out and asked uncertainly, "Will she agree?"

"I don't know, but our plan must proceed as usual." Tian Yu also felt tired from the bottom of his heart. What they had to fight against was the center of power in this city.

Vivian finally agreed to Tian Yu's suggestion. The next morning, the two of them disguised themselves and left the city. The wheat fields outside the city had already undergone a new round of sowing, and the new sprouts had not yet grown tall.

In the blink of an eye, Tian Yu stayed in this world from summer to the following spring.

Tian Yu brought Vivian to Joel. On the night of the fire, she took Vivian out of the fire and rescued the unconscious Joel. This made her more convinced that the fire was not accidental.

She wanted to stay in Silvermoon City to complete her mission, and Joel was the most suitable person to escort Vivian.

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Tian Yu turned and walked towards the direction of Silver Moon City. What she didn't tell Vivian was that there would be a trial against the Duke of Silver Moon today, which would be held in the central city in front of the whole city...
