Chapter 88: Atractylodes

The first rays of sunlight pierced the extraordinarily long night.

The sun is rising in the east, but the atmosphere in the central city of Frost Leaf City is extraordinarily solemn.

Panic spreads unusually fast in a place that has just experienced the fear of war, and people's sensitive nerves, which have not yet recovered, seem to be unable to withstand this stimulation.

After a night of tug-of-war last night, the black-clad thugs who suddenly broke out in the central city from time to time brought extremely serious panic.

If a professional performs a dead hand on an ordinary person, the result will be a completely one-sided massacre, although all countries of the human race have relevant laws restricting professionals, but such laws are almost non-existent in front of dark organizations such as the Dark Palace.

The Governor's Palace reacted quickly last night, and a large number of security forces even temporarily requisitioned the professional troops of the Southern Legion to barely stabilize the situation.

However, the number of civilian casualties still exceeds 10,000.

This is a staggering figure, and the central city is populated by wealthy businessmen and military families......

So the losses will be even greater.

Temporary Chamber of the Governor's Palace.

The old man sat in the first place, he seemed to be very old, and it was reasonable that a man of his age should have retired in his old age, but this old man was still in charge of all the affairs of the governor's palace, big and small.

This is the chief steward of the Governor's Palace, this old man has been working in the Governor's Mansion for almost a hundred years, he is the most trusted subordinate of the previous King of the South, and therefore he is deeply trusted and respected by the current King of the South.

Now that the King of the South has not returned, the entire Governor's Mansion is currently in charge of this old man.

His gaze lingered for a long time on a report on the table.

This is a report on last night's attack.

"Way, you report the loss. The old man whispered.

A young man at the end of the long conference table stood up straight, and read it out in a deep voice.

"According to preliminary estimates, in last night's attack, the security team lost more than 3,000 people and injured many more, and a total of 132 advanced professionals of the security team captain class and the professional unit of the Southern Army were killed in the line of duty, and many more were injured. In total, there were 800 attacks in the central city, more than 20,000 people were killed, many more were injured, and more than 100 streets were destroyed......"

"Are the people in the Dark Palace crazy?" said an old mage on the left hand side of the chief steward with a frown, he was the old mage who had been following General Zhao at the last meeting on the defense of Fallen Leaf City, he was actually the magic advisor of the Governor's Mansion, and he was a fourth-level [Great Sage], and he had previously represented the Governor's Mansion in the war that General Zhao was responsible for.

"Does it make sense for them to act like this, to lose 800 [Heartless] just to cause chaos?"

"They're definitely trying to do more than that. The old face of the chief steward was extremely solemn, "I am very uneasy now, the Governor's Mansion is now the weakest time for defense, and the people of the Dark Palace must have infiltrated the Governor's Palace." ”

"Aren't you going to investigate?" said the old mage with a frown, the enemy has run into the house, who would dare to stay in the governor's palace without a thorough inspection, if the enemy attacks, a mage like him is the most uncomfortable.

Even if the level advantage is large, if you are attacked by a warrior or assassin at close range, it will still pose a deadly threat to the mage.

"Difficult. The old butler sighed lightly, "It is difficult for us to completely find out the enemy who infiltrated the Governor's Palace, so we can only wait for the [Bailan Prophet] who followed His Highness to Xingzhu City to return, and with his astrology, we can carry out an investigation." ”

"Your Highness has already been contacted last night, and His Highness has two days to return. ”

"In the past two days, the patrol intensity in the Governor's Mansion has been increased, and at the same time, General Zhao has led the advanced professionals of the Southern Legion to guard the [Frost Leaf Prison], I suspect that the target of the Dark Palace is the Frost Leaf Prison. ”

A tavern in the south of the city, the innermost room on the second floor.

Su Qiran woke up on the third pole of the sun, stretched his waist in a daze, but there was a soft touch on the left hand.

It was Su Xiaoxiao's little red face, and her eyes were still closed at this time, and she seemed to be still sleeping...... Sleep with a hammer.

Su Qiran pinched Su Xiaoxiao's nose angrily, and after a while, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't pretend anymore, so he pulled Su Qiran's hand away and gasped violently.

"Let you pretend to be asleep, I said why is your face so red. Su Qiran said with a smile.

"Hmph, the teacher blames you for being too sleepy. Su Xiaoxiao said a little dissatisfied, she had woken up a long time ago, but when she woke up, she found that Su Qiran's quiet sleeping face next to her was exceptionally good-looking, and the little girl forgot to get up when she looked at it...... It wasn't until Su Qiran woke up that the little girl panicked and was ready to pretend to be asleep and pass the test.

Su Qiran looked helplessly at the messy silk pajamas on Su Xiaoxiao's body, the girl's youthful and energetic body was particularly attractive under the backdrop of the pajamas......

Of course, Su Qiran didn't have any bad thoughts about the child, but Su Xiaoxiao's sleeping appearance last night was too ugly, and he kicked him unconsciously from time to time, and Su Qiran was tossed until the second half of the night before falling asleep......

"Didn't anyone say that you slept badly?" Su Qiran helplessly helped Su Xiaoxiao tidy up her messy clothes.

The little girl's face turned red all of a sudden.

"I wouldn't have agreed to sleep with you if I had known. ”

"Ah......" the little girl was a little anxious, "Teacher, you said you would sleep with me...... ...... in the future."

"Wait!" Su Qiran was taken aback, "Later?"

"yes. Su Xiaoxiao blushed and said, "Didn't you promise me last night?" You will always sleep with me, every night!"

"Wait, when am I ......" Su Qiran hurriedly spoke, but seeing Su Xiaoxiao looking like he was about to cry, his heart softened inexplicably.

In the end, I could only sigh helplessly.

"Okay, okay, I'll just sleep with you, but the problem of your feet kicking around in your sleep should be changed......"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled with satisfaction and happiness.

"Knock knock......" A quick knock sounded on the door, and Su Qiran was stunned.

"Come in. Su Qiran glanced at it and saw that the door was not locked, so he said.

The short-haired girl pushed the door open with some eagerness, and the wooden door slammed against the wall with a loud sound.

“...... Why are you here? I don't seem to tell you where I am?" Su Qiran frowned slightly.

He Yue smiled a little embarrassedly, "I put a [positioning pin] on you yesterday while you weren't paying attention." ”

"......" Su Qiran was stunned, and then the white true qi shone on him, and after a while, he found an extremely small [needle] in the corner of the collar on his back.

What is this?

"This is one of the magic devices invented by Baizhu, which is improved from the Second Sage's [Positioning Compass], and our Shadow Blade's current main exclusive weapon. He Yue noticed Su Qiran's doubts and explained with a smile.

"......" Su Qiran was suddenly silent, he was very familiar with the name Baizhu.

Baizhu, one of the three disciples of the Second Sage, after the Second Sage was executed, one of the three disciples of the Sage went to a foreign country, and the other went incognito, only Baizhu stayed in Xingzhu City and took over the Holy Palace.
