Chapter 381: Trap

"This is the city of Izabel, known as the pearl of the Northland, and the height of the city alone is an eye-opener. ”

Zhou Xiaoke looked at the city wall more than 30 meters high with some excitement and exclaimed.

Even in the history of the Overworld, no city has ever been built so majestic.

The walls are not only very high and thick, but there is also a faint colored light on them, giving people a sense of palpitations.

This majestic city is like a sleeping beast crawling in the wilderness.

In Xiao Nan's spiritual induction, there is still a huge qi in the city, which is everywhere and imperceptible.

"Yes, there is a brief introduction to this city on the mission map, and the lord of this city is the old legend Izabel, and I heard that he is the voter of the agricultural lady......

She sits in the city, blocking the beast barbarian tribes of the Hulan grassland in the north and not daring to invade the south, her prestige and strength are in line with her strength, she is the existence of the Dinghai God Needle, and it is also the end of our mission. ”

On the way here, Xiao Nan was reluctant to venture deep into the Steel and Wood Forest, and had an argument with the temporary captain.

At that time, in order to confirm his authority, Zeng Mingyao showed him a map, and roughly said how powerful the Hulan grassland beasts were.

At the same time, he also talked about the matter of Izabel on the shore of Shuangyue Lake, the end of the mission.

Now those old horses have all disappeared in the steel and wood forest.

The biggest difficulty for Xiao Nan and Zhou Xiaoke is not that they are fighting head-on with the beast barbarian masters, but that they don't even have the capital to win the trust of the fleeing party of the Blue Moon Principality.

Where to connect?

How do you identify yourself and how do you gain trust?

It's all head-scratching questions.

Of course, now that there is no mother-in-law pointing fingers, Xiao Nan can act at will.

He was not in a hurry, paid the fee and went into the city, first found a thriving restaurant, tasted the different flavors of ale wine and barbecue, and then walked around.

A few people walked in the bustling flow of people, looking at the various races in the city, quite strange.

The atmosphere in the city was very peaceful, even the poor people in extremely shabby clothes had a very comfortable face, and they did not have the panic and panic they imagined.

Xiao Nan even saw a tall orc with an elephant trunk honestly bargaining with the vegetable farmer, and also saw a beautifully dressed elf woman giggling and floating past him.

"Hundreds of ethnic groups live together, and they are very disciplined, and this city is not simple. ”

Xiao Nan is dressed as a standard swordsman, with the same layer of golden wig on his head, dressed like a noble son.

Yang Guang is burly, with rough eyebrows, full brown hair, and a black power suit, like a taciturn bodyguard.

And Zhou Xiaoke, of course, is a cute little maid.

This kind of identity can be seen everywhere on the street, and it is not very eye-catching.

As long as they don't cause trouble, no city guards will come up to ask, and in general, the laws in the city are quite relaxed.

After walking around for a while, Xiao Nan admired the city lord Izabel a little.

Sure enough, no matter where you are, only strong strength can suppress one side.

Only then can you thoroughly implement your will, and no one can disobey it.

In Xiao Nan's heart, the most admirable thing about this city lord lady is not her strong force, but that kind of strong self-confidence.

She didn't seem to care if anyone was making trouble in the city, and she let strangers enter the city, and she didn't care at all.

With Xiao Nan's mental acuity, even he didn't notice that he was being watched and guarded, so it must be gone.

Around the corner, next to a used book stall, a few people are squatting and picking, bargaining with the down-and-out middle-aged stall owner.

Xiao Nan was about to walk over, but suddenly stopped.

Zhou Xiaoke and Yang Guang also flashed a trace of surprise in their eyes......

They were still thinking about how to use secret means to get the news of the mission, but they didn't expect it at all, and casually on the street, they heard someone discussing.

"I think the third prince of the Maple Leaf of the Blue Moon Principality will definitely not be able to go to Izabel, and now it has been spread all over, the leader of the beast clan blood wolf riding Yatu is setting up an ambush in the Qingling Pass, and I heard that there is also a Beamon team on the scene......"

"Is the news true?"

"Of course, the news from the Southern Bauhinia Caravan is still false, and Bimeng, who is more than ten meters high, can see it clearly even if it is hidden in the forest. The middle-aged man was very proud of his well-informed and swore an oath.

"Hmph, no matter how powerful those beasts are, what can they do? It's not that they don't dare to come to Izabel City to spread wilderness, but it's a pity that the third prince Maple Leaf. He is the last hope of the Duchy of the Blue Moon...... It is said that he is also a descendant of the goddess of the river. You say, will Ms. Bell go to the rescue?"

"Impossible, the situation is delicate now, and it is impossible for the lady to leave this city lightly, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable. Forget it, don't talk about things that don't have anything to do with us...... I said, "Do you want to buy this book or not, and I'll give you three silver coins if you want it." ”

"It's too expensive, a silver coin is about the same, and it's not a career skill book, it's just a history of the nobility, and it's worth so much money?"

Xiao Nan and the others were listening interestingly, but the middle-aged man stopped talking, and his heart was itching for a while.

Zhou Xiaoke, relying on his petite size and full affinity, walked forward with a smile and asked, "This uncle, do you say that the strength around the third prince of Maple Leaf is very strong? I've heard that the weakest Beamon can be compared to the strength of the Martial Saint. ”

"It shouldn't be strong. The middle-aged man got a silver coin, and was smiling all over his face, and his heart was open.

Hearing Zhou Xiaoke's question, he was also stunned.

"On that day, the Principality of the Blue Moon was breached, and almost all the palace mages were destroyed, and the Grand Duke of the Blue Moon broke through to the southern forest and went to the royal capital, and the last force should follow him. The third prince came to Izabel City, where could there be many masters to follow? His maiden family was a merchant, and his position was already very embarrassing.

If it weren't for the name of the gods, no one would care about it even if he died in any corner. ”

"I see. Zhou Xiaoke nodded, thanked the middle-aged man, and said thank you with a smile.

After strolling around for a while, Xiao Nan listened carefully to the words of the pedestrians around him, and from time to time he could hear about the third prince of the Blue Moon Principality.

Most of them said how dangerous the poor Maple Leaf Prince was, seeing that he was about to die on the road, and no one was confident that he would arrive safely in the Northland Pearl City.

Even, in the mouth of a wandering poet, he also heard the details of the number of guards around Prince Maple Leaf.

Of course, there was also a martial arts teacher, a junior martial saint, and the rest were some guard knights, only more than thirty horsemen.

"What do you think?"

Found an inn and landed at his feet, not caring about washing away the dust, Xiao Nan called Zhou Xiaoke and the two to his side and asked.

"Whatever Uncle Xiao decides, let's do it, do you want to rush to Prince Maple Leaf as soon as possible and escort him through the level?"

Yang Guang frowned and said, "If it's a little later, this task will be too late to be completed." ”

"No, this is a trap, Yang Guang, you still don't like to use your brain. Zhou Xiaoke rolled his eyes and looked at Xiao Nan, his little face was a little worried: "There are two suspicions, one is that the news has spread too widely, and even ordinary people know the escape route of the third prince of Maple Leaf...... Moreover, it is also known that the beast clan of the Hulan Grassland is preparing to intercept them, which is very abnormal.

The second is, how could he escape more than 300 miles with such strength? Luck is too good, isn't it? It seems that the enemy is deliberately doing this, and I always feel that something is not good. ”

Xiao Nan agreed very much, and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Xiao Ke said it very well, no matter what the purpose of the third prince of the Blue Moon Principality is, since he can escape from more than three hundred miles away, there must be a secret."

This is related to the purpose of his visit to Izabel, what he is here for, and why did he have to travel so far to come to this city?

Moreover, there is only one reason why the news can spread so far, and that is the deliberate spread of others. What its purpose is, it is not clear for the time being, but it is certain that someone behind the scenes is manipulating. ”

Xiao Nan patted his head, also a little depressed.

Not only is the captain of his team dead, but he can't even find the task connector, and some of the inside stories are not clear.

This task is really confusing, but there is no turning back.

Zhang Zhen didn't seem to be telling a lie at the time.

He said that the mission was very important, related to the belief in the gods and the situation on the battlefield, and it must be true.

At that time, Zhang Zhen would never have thought that he would hit the street halfway, he may not have said in too much detail for the sake of prudence, but he would not tell a lie.

"Xiao Ke, when you took over the task, did Colonel Zeng Mingyao leak anything?"

"No, I asked, that guy was so angry that he didn't say anything, he just said it.

I was in a hurry, and he reprimanded me. No matter what, you have to escort the third prince of the Blue Moon Country to the shore of Shuangyue Lake, and it is best to enter the city. Zhou Xiaoke was also a little indignant.

"Do you want to enter the city? In this way, there is only one way?" Xiao Nan pondered for a while and said decisively.

He felt that he couldn't be so passive.

I don't know what the situation is, and this task is completely difficult to do.

In fact, he was mentally prepared for the failure of the mission.

If it is the cultivation realm at the time of departure, the only thing that should be considered at this time should be to return.

Speaking of which, the team has suffered heavy losses this time, and it is not impossible to go back.

But isn't his strength restored now? He thought, if it was possible, he might as well try again.

However, he couldn't go with his original plan, and he deeply suspected that this was actually a trap, perhaps against Izabel City, or even more so against people from the Overworld.

Since you can't see through it, let's go back to the original task.

As long as you send the Maple Leaf Prince to the shore of the Two Moon Lake, as for the way, you can consider it separately.
