The sewer exit is only about two or three kilometers away from the imperial capital, which is not far, and the rugged road stretches the distance in vain. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The main road outside the imperial capital naturally extends in all directions, but on both sides of the road, there are almost all sparsely populated barren hills and mountains.

There are only occasional trails, showing the traces of people.

The entrance to the sewer is behind a hill quite far from the main road, and there is a section of the road that has to be crossed over the mountains, and there is not even a trail.

The world outside the city is always full of dangers, the wilderness is too wide, and the manpower is too meager.

Even in the suburbs where patrols and forest guards are often seen, there are still occasional beasts blocking the way.

As for the farther from the city, some places that even patrols would not go to are recognized as dangerous areas, and the wide roads are useless, and there are even strongholds of robbers and wild monsters on the side of the roads.

Fortunately, the sewer exit obviously belongs to the suburbs of the imperial capital, and large monsters are rarely infested, so there are not many dangers except for the difficult road.

Ling Qi was lucky, except for encountering a skinny jackal along the way, he was stabbed to death by a sword, and he didn't encounter any other trouble.

The sound of the water gradually became clear, the surging waves crashed along the shore, and the smell of humidity filled the air.

When Ling Qi approached the entrance of the sewer and saw the messy scene around him, he was shocked!

There are obvious traces of stampede in the nearby grass, and if you look closely, the footprints seem to come from another direction, leading straight into the distance.

He slowed down slightly, became extremely cautious, and went in circles, burrowing into a pile of grass not far away that had not yet been destroyed.

Although it is impossible to completely cover the body, the thatch is not densely connected and clustered like the grassland. But as long as it can slightly interfere with the outside world's vision, leaving him a certain amount of time to react, it is enough.

Carefully move onto a raised dirt slope and look down towards the sewer entrance.

Although the expected procession was not seen, the two soldiers stationed at the gate indicated that the place had been officially taken over.

Fortunately, the two soldiers who were looking around had not yet noticed him.

Unfortunately, the place where he hid his staff, the crack in the boulder, was too far away from where he was!

There was no trace of the search there, probably due to the fact that it was in the corner. He wanted to get there, but it wasn't easy.

Ling Qi decided to abandon the plan for the time being, and the thing wouldn't run away on its own anyway. If you are found in such a sensitive period and in this sensitive place, it is called trouble.

Although the Imperial Amulet is a status symbol, holding it and carrying the Emperor's will, any official power should theoretically be its natural ally.

But as long as he didn't get to the point where he had no way out, Ling Qi would definitely not expose himself to the imperial military and political forces.

The assassination of the emperor is in itself a hidden warning.

If all the top echelons of the empire could be trusted, why didn't the old emperor let him just hand over the talisman to the senators, and instead chose Gaphael, who was thousands of miles away?

Even if that man had the key information, it would be more reliable for the Senate to send someone to give him the amulet than for a prisoner to be the courier.

Unless in the old emperor's heart, the entire Senate is not as reliable as Gaphael, or even as reliable as Ling Qi!

Power corrupts people's hearts, and the old emperor is also suspicious.

People's hearts are not set codes in the game!

Just as he was looking for a chance to retreat, a few minutes later, something seemed to be going on in the distance.

The two soldiers, who stood straight, seemed stunned for a moment, then looked at each other, whispered something, and hurried into the sewers.

It was too far away, and Ling Qi didn't know if someone inside had summoned them, or if something else had lured them away.

With a flash of his eyes, he walked lightly, like a wild cat, hunched over, and rushed to a hundred meters away in ten seconds, close to the entrance of the sewer!

Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it.

He didn't even think about taking the opportunity to get the staff or evacuate safely, but went into danger!!

Ling Qi is not stupid, and he is not reckless in doing so.

Observing the steps and movements of the two soldiers before, they should not be much stronger than the city guards, and they pose little threat to Ling Qi.

Moreover, he was interested in the aftermath of the assassination.

A series of unexpected reactions from the Empire made him even more alarmed.

He's been involved, and he's the last and only survivor, but he doesn't know what happened!

What kind of organization did the red-clothed assassins belong to? What is the Annihilation Plane? What is the use of the Emperor's amulet? Is it just to calm the people's mood that the Senate suppressed the news of the Emperor's assassination?

What kind of establishment does Blade Guard belong to?

What role does he play in this plot?

He wanted it all!

To be omniscient is to be omnipotent, and in ignorance, he always seems weak and powerless when it comes to calculating the future!

The task was like a shackle, he didn't like it, but until he couldn't break free, it was also a way to complete it. Breaking fate is not to be abandoned by fate, otherwise there is really nothing.

At present, he has a total of two tasks, of course he can choose to do nothing, just spend a month in the Imperial Capital Merchant Hotel, eat and drink every day, and waste time.

But compared to the relatively simple main quest, the second special quest with an unknown reward allowed him to see more opportunities!

To complete it or abandon it for the greater good, it is necessary to rely on a large amount of information as the basis for laying out.

Moreover, if you have been mixed in the imperial capital, can you really be alone?

Even if he succeeds by luck, even if he doesn't consider his own ambitions.

If the magic pendant can't be taken out of this world in the end, if he never gets his own skills-

Then the next mission~

There is a first time, there is a second time, this truth, even without a mysterious voice to tell him!

Clenching his fists, Ling Qi mused:

"No!"

He's not going to let that happen!

The opportunity to live again is so rare. This crazy world is so wonderful! How can he be with the light again!

Hunched over, he slammed forward, rolled like a tanuki, took a few quick steps, and the sewer entrance was close in front of him!

The sound of ping-pong came into my ears, mixed with empty echoes, and vaguely the sound of a man's cursing.

"Bastards, who are you, how dare you attack the guards!"

"Chad! Hold on! Bob! Bob! Get out! Support is needed here! Support is needed here!"

In response to the two, there was a series of denser sounds of gold and iron colliding.

Porphy!

It was probably just two or three breaths, and after a few muffled sounds, the movement of the battle was over!

Ling Qi's eyes shrank, his body shook, he hid behind a rock, and hid himself!

Where did he dare to approach the entrance again, the sound of ping-pong during the battle was not far away, and the difference in strength between the two warring sides was extremely large!

This means that there is a force not far away that he can't resist for the time being!

The soldiers' martial arts skills are generally average, and when converted into swordsmanship levels, they probably only barely master the basic swordsmanship, and maybe there are other skills, which are definitely not much stronger.

Even so, they are also formally trained, and their basic attributes, especially their strength and physique, are probably much stronger than Ling Qi, and their equipment is not bad.

Ling Qi thought to himself and asked him to get rid of the two guards in a short period of time, unless it was to activate the bug skill of Bloody Wind Howl. Although the effect of this skill is perverted, the side effects are enough to cheat the father.

Each time it is activated, how much longevity will be deducted, the mysterious voice does not give.

But his body knew by himself, Ling Qi estimated that if he used it seven or eight more times, it would be time to prepare for the future.

Shou Yuan is such a thing, if it is consumed, it cannot be recovered!

The sound of dense footsteps echoed, the pace was still light, connected but could not be concealed, it seemed that there were quite a few people.

The elegance of the second-level wind not only enhanced Ling Qi's reaction and dexterity, but also increased his five senses.

Come to think of it, the power of the wind is not the power of the air, and even the invisible air currents are helping you, of course, there will be these magical effects.

Slightly showing half of his head, he sneaked a glance towards the entrance!

Ling Qi's eyes widened instantly, sweat poured out of his forehead, and he saw a whole patch of red!

Assassins! A large group of red-clad assassins! At least twenty!

The middle men carried a long coffin-like box!

A coffin-shaped box? No! That's a coffin!

The heart was beating "suddenly", and Ling Qi retracted his body and hid it more tightly.

These assassins really do everything!
