Chapter 52
Stewart Island was thrown into chaos.

Sauer and Garland looked at the burning trading market, and did not enter rashly. The heart-piercing screams and the cries for help one after another jointly composed a hellish movement, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt and blood.

What happened?
Saul thought that no matter how calm the expression on his face was, he couldn't calm down the shock in his heart.

From receiving the news of Garland's kidnapping, to rescuing Garland, and rushing back to the trading market, the whole process didn't take much time, because he acted alone, and the rescue location was very familiar, so almost no time wasted, even counting the time it took to maintain stealth, it didn't take more than two hours.

"Why is it such a coincidence?" Saul blinked. He looked left and right. An injured guard just ran out from the entrance. He hurried forward and asked, "What happened?"

"Sauer?" The guard called Saul's name, his eyes were a little dull, as if he hadn't recovered from the confusion, he shook his head vigorously to wake himself up a little, and then he said, "Master Saul, after you left, the miners in the market started to riot. In the middle, it was too chaotic at that time, coupled with the outbreak of pollution, the brothers were short of manpower, so we had to retreat temporarily..."

After speaking, his voice became smaller and smaller.

"That's right." The guard thought of something, and his dull eyes brightened. "Someone has gone to inform the inspector and commander. I believe the matter will be resolved soon."

Saul frowned, and he turned his head to look at Garland, who was equally confused.

"Find a place to rest first." Sauer comforted him. He looked around, but he couldn't find a suitable place, because this time the riot was a combination of miners and pollution, and outside the trading market, most of them were miners' sites. Although not all miners participated, the conflicts among miners became more and more intensified due to the blockage of the mine and the inability to mine. This riot was actually an outlet for the miners to suppress their emotions. Groups act together.

It may be more dangerous to hide outside, and be attacked by miners taking advantage of the chaos.

"Let's go back to the residential area and take another road." Before the guard could answer, Sauer changed his words.

After the guard heard it, a happy expression appeared on his face. He had heard too much of Saul's name in the past two days. In any case, it was better to walk with Saul than to be alone, "Okay." He replied.

Although there is only one official entrance leading to the residential area, there are more than one road leading to the official entrance. The road leading to the trading market is just the smoothest road.

The three chose another route, approached from the outside of the trading market, and then directly reached the entrance of the residential area through climbing and other methods.Usually, since there are guard handles at the entrance of the residential area, this method is naturally easy to be regarded as a thief, but in this situation, the guards are too busy to take care of themselves, and naturally they will not pay attention to such insignificant things. What's more, among the three, two of them are guards, and even Sauer is still an inspector guard.

On the way, Sauer chatted about the riot and pollution.

"Garland, do you think this is a coincidence?" Saul frowned.

"Things are indeed a little strange, but on Stewart Island, I don't know if it's a coincidence. I've heard an idiom called misfortunes never come singly." Garland shook his head.

"Master Shao, I really feel very abnormal when I hear your question. These miners usually look down on each other, so how could they suddenly cooperate? I remember that the riots I encountered before had obvious signs, and it was because of a big accident in the mine that these miners united. But this time, the mine has already been closed. How could it be because of the accident in the mine?"

"If it's not a coincidence..." Finally, Garland found the time to speak.

"Reggis." Saul took a deep breath. He had to admit that he underestimated Regis. "He deliberately used you to lure me out. I'm afraid it has something to do with this matter. However, it is absolutely impossible for him to do this alone. If my guess is correct, there must be another one behind the scenes... maybe more than one."

He thought about it in his mind, but found that he didn't actually know Regis's network. Even though Regis didn't come in handy when they rescued Garland together, Regis did show his familiarity with the trading market at that time. It's not difficult to get to know some people here.

Not far away, the setting sun is getting redder and getting closer to the sea level.

Suddenly, a loud noise spread across the entire island. Sauer quickly turned his head to look at the direction where the sound came from. That was the direction of the mine. Soon, a thick black mist floated from the direction of the mine and floated upwards. However, it did not dissipate. Instead, it lingered over the island, like a black net, which seemed to envelop the entire island.

The three of them stopped at the same time, looking at this rare sight.

"What is that?" The guard looked puzzled.

Garland shook his head.

Saul was silent.

No one knew what the black mist meant, but all three of them had a guess in their hearts that something that would affect the entire island was about to happen, and no matter what their status was, as long as they were still on the island, they could not escape.

"Let's hurry up." Saul quickened his pace.

Soon, the three came to the shortcut. Sauer climbed along the wall, and soon came to the top of the wall. He looked at the trading market, which was in a mess. Whether it was inside or outside, many shops were destroyed. The unextinguished flames were mixed with the corpses of the miners, as if the end was coming.

He turned his head and looked at the entrance of the residential area, only to find that the entrance gate of the residential area had been destroyed, and the bodies of miners and businessmen could be seen even deeper.

"How is it?" Garland's voice came from behind.

Before Saul could answer, there was a scolding sound not far away.

"Wait, who are you?"

Sauer turned his head and saw several miners with pickaxes rushing over. He looked at his clothes, then at Garland's clothes, and then at the light armor on the guards. He sighed and shouted down, "Come up quickly, I don't have time to explain."

Garland and the guards didn't hesitate, and quickly climbed onto the wall.

The three jumped into the trading market.

Sauer looked left and right, the ability to perceive the air was released, and the long-distance perception could not clear the actions of the opponent, but he could judge whether the opponent was a living thing.

After making sure that no one was around, he walked towards the residential area, followed by Garland and the guards.
