Qiu Chi asked again: "I am really from the Qin family, and I have something important to discuss with the city lord." ”

The guard was puzzled: "Why don't you tell us what you are looking for our city lord first?"

Qiu Chi replied truthfully, "I need to rush back to White Star City with the help of that teleportation circle in the City Lord's Mansion. ”

The guard smiled and dissuaded, "You better go, even if you can meet the city lord, the city lord will not allow you to use the magic circle." ”

"Why is that?"

"Because Jiangyi City has a rule, ordinary people are not allowed to use the magic circle, unless they have contributed to Jiang Yi City or are a rune master, they are eligible to use the magic circle. ”

After Qiu Chi heard the request, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, the words of the rune master, he himself is. But Qiu Chi didn't directly tell the guards that he was a rune master, if he really said that, I am afraid that the guards would treat him as a madman, let alone let him enter the City Lord's Mansion, and even if the guards believed it, he would encounter a lot of trouble in the future.

Qiu Chi carefully calculated in his heart and had a foolproof plan, so he saluted the guards and said, "Thank you for telling me, I'll go first." ”

The guard nodded, returned to his original position, and continued to guard the gate.

Qiu Chi found a workshop on the street, bought a black cloak, put it on, and returned to the castle lord's mansion again.

Qiu Chi deliberately changed his tone so that the guards would not recognize him, and said, "I want to see your city lord." ”

The guard looked at Qiu Chi and asked, "Who is Your Excellency, but there is an invitation order from the city lord." ”

Qiu Chi stepped forward and whispered in the guard's ear, "You go and tell you the city lord, and I will say that there is a rune master who wants to see him." ”

When the guards heard the words "Rune Sealer", they didn't dare to slack off, and saluted: "The city lord has instructed that if there is a Rune Master looking for him, there is no need to report it, and he can go directly to see him." ”

Akichi covered his face with the hat on his cloak, and the guards couldn't see his smile.

Qiu Chi nodded and said, "Then please lead the way." ”

The guards made a gesture of invitation and led Akichi into the City Lord's Mansion.

Qiu Chi had a good impression of the city lord of Jiangyi City in his heart, judging from his attitude towards the rune sealer, he should be a person who cherishes talents, after all, the rune master is a rare group.

The castle lord's mansion was very large, and Qiu Chi walked for a long time under the guidance of the guards, and made a lot of detours before coming to an attic.

The guard saluted in front of the attic, "City Lord, there is a rune master who wants to see you. ”

A hoarse voice came from the attic: "Oh, the rune master, please let him in." ”

The guard replied, "Yes!"

He turned to Qiuchi and saluted, "Please come in." With that, he turned and left the place.

Qiu Chi walked into the attic, but the first floor was empty, so Qiu Chi went up to the second floor, and saw an old man sitting on a stone bench sipping tea.

When the old man saw Qiu Chi walking up, he also stood up and saluted, and Qiu Chi hurriedly replied, "Qin Chi to meet the city lord." ”

The old man smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to another stone bench, and said, "Please take a seat." ”

Qiu Chi nodded slightly, thanked him and sat down on the stone bench.

The old man poured a cup of tea for Qiu Chi and said, "I don't know why you are looking for the old man?"

Qiu Chi replied truthfully, "I came here this time just to use the teleportation array. ”

The old man took a sip of tea, and there was no emotion in his voice, and said, "Since you have a request for me, why don't you show your true face?"

Qiu Chi was a little nervous, and replied, "It's really inconvenient, I hope the city lord will forgive me." ”

The old man snorted coldly, and Qiu Chi felt a gust of wind blowing in his face, and his cloak was blown off, and his appearance was completely exposed to the old man's eyes.

Qiu Chi thought that the old man would be angry, but the old man just said lightly: "It's better not to lie to children, this time the old man won't care about you, if there is a next time, he will not be spared." ”

Qiu Chi stood up and saluted: "The city lord is really good-minded, and the juniors admire it." ”

The old man waved his hand and said: "You don't have to pat the old man's ass, the old man just doesn't want to worry about a child with you, and the teleportation array will not lend you to use, while the old man is not angry, you can leave quickly." ”

Qiu Chi smiled slightly and said, "The junior has something unclear, I wonder if the city lord can tell the junior?"

The old man said indifferently: "You ask." ”

"In my opinion, the city lord is a gentle and kind person, and he must also convince people with virtue in this Jiangyi City, but why ......?"

"Why?"

"When the junior first came to Jiangyi City, he saw a team of people bullying civilians, and it looks like this kind of thing often happens, you don't know it, right?"

A trace of killing intent suddenly flashed in the old man's eyes, which surprised Qiu Chi, but soon, that killing intent had completely receded, replaced by helplessness and unwillingness.

The old man stood up, walked to the edge of the attic, looked at Jiang Yicheng outside, sighed heavily, and said, "These things have nothing to do with you, you better stop asking." ”

Qiu Chi raised his head, looked at the old man, and said with a serious expression: "If the city lord intends to change this situation, maybe I can help you." ”

The old man sneered and said disdainfully: "Little doll, you haven't even figured out the way of the world, and you still want to help me, what did you rely on to say such things." ”

Qiu Chi was neither humble nor arrogant: "Just because I am - the rune master." ”

After the old man heard Qiu Chi's words, he laughed and shook his head, and a coercion was suddenly released, Qiu Chi was caught off guard for a while, and was directly crushed to the ground.

The old man said coldly: "This is the punishment for lying to you. ”

Qiu Chi struggled to stand up, and said with a resolute expression: "I said...... I am...... Rune Sealer!"

The old man couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at Qiu Chi's appearance, this kind of expression would not appear on the face of a liar. So he withdrew the coercion and asked, "Really?"

Without the coercion, Qiu Chi suddenly felt relaxed and said, "You can give it a try." ”

The old man took out the materials needed to make the sigil, handed them to Qiu Chi and said, "The old man only gives you one chance, if you are lying to me, you better admit it now!

Qiu Chi smiled slightly and asked, "What if I'm really a rune master?" I need to borrow the teleportation formation to use it. ”

The old man promised: "The formation is already open to the rune master, if you are a rune master, you are naturally qualified to use it." ”

Qiu Chi clenched his fists and said, "Then I'll prove it to you now." ”

The old man stood aside, carefully observing every movement of Qiu Chi.

After Qiu Chi took over the materials, he took out the auxiliary equipment, and operated it with ease, he was already familiar with the rune production process, and the speed was also amazingly fast, even if the old man did not understand the rune, he could see that Qiu Chi did have two brushes.

In less than a moment, a Level 1 Healing Sigil was created. Qiu Chi handed the talisman to the old man's hand and saluted, "Lord of the city, please take a look." ”

The old man took the sigil and cut a wound directly on his arm, Qiu Chi was taken aback, and was about to speak, when he saw that the old man urged the healing sigil to treat his injuries.

He's a ruthless man. Qiu Chi couldn't help but feel a little afraid of the old man in front of him.

Although it was only a first-level rune, it was from Qiu Chi's hand after all, and the effect was still excellent, and the wound on the old man's arm was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, which made the old man also surprised.

Qiu Chi smiled and asked, "What does the city lord think, does this prove that I am a rune master?"

The old man's tone could not hide his surprise, and he said, "This is indeed a first-grade healing sigil, but ...... But how old are you?!"

Akichi smiled and explained, "Although I look small, I am actually not young, it was just a coincidence that made my body grow here. ”

After listening to Qiu Chi's answer, the old man was no longer suspicious, after all, this answer was already the most reasonable explanation, because he firmly believed that there would not be such a young sigil master in this world.

The old man saluted Qiuchi and said, "It's a lot of offense, and I still look at Haihan." ”

Qiu Chi replied: "The city lord is polite, and the juniors are also offended. ”

"According to the agreement, you can use the teleportation circle, but the old man wants to know, which side of the White Star City are you from?"

"The younger generation is just a casual cultivator, and he has not taken refuge in the forces. "Akichi lied, and there was no need to say anything about his origins now.

The old man smiled and asked again, "When are you leaving?"

Akichi replied, "The sooner the better, but the lord hasn't answered my question yet." ”

The old man smiled bitterly and told Qiu Chi all this: "As you said, Jiangyi City was originally very harmonious, and it was rare for the people to be oppressed, let alone so blatant. There are many forces in the city, large and small, but they dare not be presumptuous under my jurisdiction. ”

Qiu Chi also had a guess in his heart when he heard the old man say this, and said, "Is it that some forces have suddenly risen recently, or are you in some trouble and have no way to govern them?"

The old man looked at Qiu Chi with approving eyes, and said: "You are really smart, it is true, the old man has been poisoned, and his cultivation has regressed, and the rumor seems to have leaked, I suspect that they are so rampant, they want to use this to test me, if my cultivation is found out by them, Jiang Yicheng, I am afraid that the sky will change." ”

Qiu Chi's face also became solemn, and he said worriedly: "But it's not a long-term solution for you to do this, sooner or later they will find out." ”

The old man picked up a cup of tea and drank it all, his words full of helplessness: "What can I do, I can only take one step at a time." ”

Qiu Chi wondered, "Why didn't you report this matter?"

The old man smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said: "You are not from Jiangyi City, you don't know the rules here, the position of the city lord has always been held by the strong, not fixed at all, there will be a challenge every ten years, and the newcomer will challenge the city lord, as long as you can defeat the city lord first, you can get the position of the city lord." And the next challenge is not far off. ”

Qiu Chi looked at the old man and said indifferently: "Can the senior trust me?"

The old man fixed his gaze on Qiu Chi in surprise, and his voice trembled a little: "Could it be that you have a way?"

"I don't, but I can give it a try. ”

"How do you try?"

"Detoxify you. ”

The old man looked at Qiu Chi with a serious face and asked, "Why do you want to help me?"
