After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1559

Chapter 1559: More Rumors?

They performed separate skits to similarly cement the contradicting rumors, too, timing it well so that it appeared to be the reactionary events after the initial rumors had spread.

For example, they spread that a certain City—who knew which one—had been erroneously spreading that the Golds were alive, just to confuse Bleulle.

As for why, nobody knew, but it certainly activated people’s imaginations.

Sean, dressed in gruff mercenary clothing, was one of the few who spread this out. In one of the lesser-known inns near a gate, he—now wearing loose clothing and an ugly beard—laughed like a drunkard.

"Those fools," he said, voice droll, whispering at his table, but he was loud enough for anyone with a decent level to hear him clearly.

"My own Town fell just like this, you know," he said. "They spread rumors that one of the other rival towns had gained the backing of a City and was planning on attacking us," he said. "We had no idea...it was our allied Town—one whose contract had just expired—who stabbed us in the back in the end."

He cried pitifully, lamenting about the people he lost, and the sheer emotion cast aside any doubt that he wasn’t telling the truth.

Rather, it expanded and was even padded. To some, it even appeared as if it was really happening to Bleulle, too.

These rumors spread so much that even those who had just arrived—including Eveco—had heard about them, courtesy of the servants and their people who greeted them.

Anyway, many of these rumors were currently being summarized to the Lord.

Bleumrick rubbed his forehead. He was angry, but he forced himself to calm down. Being angry was to confirm the rumors that he was affected by a fallen family. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

He was not, and those bastards better understand that.

"There is no news that they are in cities, however," Evos said. "We’d have received news if it were any of the nearby cities."

Bleumrick gave him a look.

"Although your patriarchs are dead, they are still strong—do you think the Golds are in one piece? How many of them would’ve survived, yea? Even if your patriarchs had died, do you not think they had taken the Golds down with them? Do you look down on your patriarch so much?"

Still, this caused his passion to hunt for the Golds to wane a bit. Hunting them down at this point meant he was still threatened by them.

He stood up and waved his hand. "I don’t want to hear about them anymore," he said, before finally walking away.

The Golds temporarily lost a weight on their backs that day.

At the same time, it planted a small seed in Bleumrick and the other nobles’ minds.

An allied city that could’ve spread these rumors... wasn’t that Hassen City?

...

For example, now that the disappeared members of the Vesto and Sephon families had returned, Liaroa’s wedding was finally happening!
