Could it be that you are being watched?

Thinking of this, Du Yuhan's expression became solemn.

Seeing that his lover was starting to get nervous, Kevin took the other party's hand and comforted: "Don't worry, maybe there is a magic circle at the entrance and exit of the guild to detect the fighting spirit, and your level has been detected by it." ”

"Is there such a circle?" Du Yuhan was very skeptical.

"Of course, this is one of the most common defensive enchantments." Kevin smiled and slowly explained, "Besides, even if you are superior in strength and a promising modeler, you are only at the level of a high-level beginner. Looking at Lindot, although it is considered to be middle and upper-middle, it is not particularly prominent, and it is not at all good to murder you. ”

Du Yuhan scratched the top of his head, this is the truth......

In any case, he has to complete this commission, otherwise he will be disqualified from the competition. Seeing that he is about to win the competition, it is not his style to retreat from the battle, and he has to face difficulties in everything.

He breathed a sigh of relief helplessly, "Forget it, it's useless to think too much, let's take one step at a time." ”

Kevin smiled and quickly moved on to another topic.

It's just that he knows very well in his heart that the kind of magic array that detects the level of Dou Qi must be stimulated by the detector to be carried out, and according to the situation that day, it is impossible to detect a single bit.

There's definitely something greasy about this.

But-

Kevin sneered.

If anyone dares to hurt a single hair, he will definitely make the other party's life worse than death!

*****

At this time, in the back garden of the palace in the south of Long Thanh, a middle-aged man picked up a beautifully made white porcelain cup, tasted tea elegantly, and occasionally chatted and laughed with the white old man sitting opposite.

Suddenly, a guard walked up to the two of them, saluted respectfully to the middle-aged man, and whispered a few words in his ear.

The man chuckled and waved his hand to all the servants who were waiting around him.

"Judging by Your Excellency's expression, everything must be in the plan." The old man smiled kindly.

"Actually, I'm very curious, what kind of person can make the lord of a city in the first-class royal city of the Al Empire travel thousands of miles to make this trip. Just so that he could go to a remote town and stay for the first half of a month. The middle-aged man didn't answer the question, and a calculating smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

In this regard, the old man was not annoyed, but slowly stroked his beard, "To put it seriously, I don't know much about this person as much as Your Excellency. It's just that someone highly recommends this person to me, and I just push the boat to help. ”

"Oh? The model master you mentioned last time? The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, "To be so praised by the masters, there must be something outstanding." If you can incorporate it into its banner and cultivate it more, it will definitely become a help in the future. ”

"Your Excellency smiled, you know very well that the master is a person, and this time he has taken great pains to speak to me, I am afraid that this person has an unusual connection with him." Holding up the porcelain cup, the old man sipped casually.

The middle-aged man's expression narrowed, and his eyes became sharp, "What do you mean...... Does he have something to do with the recent puppet mutation? ”

As early as a year ago, in the Al Empire, news came from many second- and third-tier royal cities one after another, and unknown puppets were found near the main city.

What kind of combat power are model golems? Stepping on a medium-sized royal city, four or five puppets are enough. For a small city that does not have the ability to build a large defensive array on its own, this news is tantamount to a thunderstorm that explodes on the ground, and the city lords have sent out manpower to strengthen patrols in the adjacent area. But the other side was very skilled, and except for a few traces, most of the patrols were gone.

Most worryingly, a few months ago, the same situation occurred in Lindotte.

And the leaders of the model master guilds of various countries have become the biggest suspects.

The five empires, which originally had various competing relationships, were surprisingly united in this matter. Not only do they exchange useful information, but they also cooperate with each other in secret investigations.

Shaking his head slightly, the old man's gray eyebrows frowned slightly, "I'm not sure, but judging from his attitude, this person must have what he wants." ”

"Then you really fulfilled him?" The middle-aged man couldn't help but be angry.

"Your Excellency, don't worry, the destination of their trip is not the town designated by that master." The old man slowly crossed his legs, "It's another interesting city." ”

"Interesting?" The man furrowed his brow, "What's wrong with that city?" ”

However, the old man only smiled slightly, but did not answer.

Secretly scolding the cunning old thing, the middle-aged man no longer asked, and leaned back in the chair relaxedly, "It seems that Your Excellency wants to eliminate harm for the people of the world, I really admire such a benevolent heart." However, I hope that the terms agreed to be fulfilled as much as possible, so that the two sides can have further cooperation in the future. ”

Haha, the old man raised his glass in greeting, "That's nature." ”

The middle-aged man also held up the teacup, "Happy cooperation." ”

*****

After two flight trips and five days in a camel cart, Du Yuhan finally arrived at his destination, located in the small city on the edge of the Arr Empire, the city of Toba, the only city in the empire founded deep in the desert.

As far as the eye can see, there is yellow sand all over the sky, except for a few clusters of withered yellow plants that occasionally emerge, and the surrounding area is barren. The worst thing is that there are occasional sandstorms here during the day, but fortunately this is an experienced convoy, and the leader quickly arranged for his subordinates to set up a magic circle near the convoy, so that everyone escaped several catastrophes without danger.

When they came down from the camels, after a while, a thin layer of fine sand was spread over their clothes.

Breathing out the yellow sand in his mouth, Du Yuhan wiped his face hard, blinking his sour eyes and looking around. He was a little confused when he found that the convoy had only stopped in the market two kilometers outside the city, and had not entered the town.

And the strangest thing is that all kinds of people gather in the bazaar. There are vendors laden with goods, mercenaries who are stubbornly stalgmated, nobles who are richly dressed, and beggars who are ragged.

Looking at an elegant aristocrat and a stall vendor, bargaining for a meal, how to look at the picture and how to go against it.

After discussing it, several people decided to find a local snake to understand the situation first.

"Captain, why didn't your convoy enter the city?"

"Young man, it's your first time here, isn't it?" The captain laughed and waved his men to lead the camels to graze for forage.

Du Yuhan nodded.

"Then you're going to get ready to sleep out in the wild tonight." He pulled out his wine bag and took a few sips.

Bivouac? "Why?"

The captain sighed heavily, "This city, sometimes you want to enter, but you can't. ”

Can't get in? Kevin frowned, "Is the entrance fee high?" ”

The captain waved his hand, "It's not a matter of price, it's that the gate is locked." ”

Lock the city gates?

Why do you want to block the city gates in broad daylight?

Could it be that there are zombie monsters in this city?

Du Yuhan's first reaction was the town of Bede, which was also locked down.

"No, no, no, this is a blockade ordered by the city lord."

Commerce and trade are the main source of the town's economy, and after the lockdown of the city, it is basically cut off from the outside world, and economic transactions are basically paralyzed. As long as the city lord has intelligence, he will never do such a stupid thing.

"Why did he lock down the city?"

"Who knows, this city lord is always on a whim." Taking out cigarette paper and tobacco shreds from his pocket, the captain smoked slowly, "Although the conditions here were difficult in the past, the policy was open-minded, and it was peaceful and contentment. But since the death of the old city lord, as soon as the new city lord succeeded to the throne, life began to become difficult. ”

"How many days does this usually lock?" Kevin couldn't help but interject.

"That's not exactly. Sometimes when I am in a good mood, I seal it for ten days and a half months, and only seal it for half a day; Sometimes when I'm in a bad mood, I can seal a letter for several days. The captain shrugged comically, "It's the longest I've ever seen, but it's been locked up for nearly half a month!" ”

"Many people can't stand this kind of life, and those who have the conditions have fled the main city, and those who are unconditional or unwilling to leave simply build new buildings outside the city." He craned his chin and compared to the buildings on the side of the road, "Do you see those shops?" They were all improvised, half a year ago. ”

Du Yuhan and Kevin looked at each other, very confused.

"Did the lord order the demolition of these buildings?" Kevin continued to ask.

"Not really, sometimes the patrol area of the guards is increased to include these temporary footholds." In this regard, the captain also seems to be full of doubts. "It's strange to think about it......"

Du Yuhan touched his chin.

It seems that the city lord doesn't seem to want to drive people away, but why lock down the city?

Sneakily looking around, the captain lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I heard from the nobles who ran out of the city that the city lord of Toba City is crazy. ”

"Crazy?" Du Yuhan had a headache.

If you want to enter the city, you must deal with the city lord, but dealing with a madman, this is really the first time he has tried.

"But you don't have to worry, maybe one day the city lord will be in a good mood and will open the city gate again." Seeing that several people were suddenly dumbfounded, the captain sighed. After a few words of dry comfort, he waved his hand at a few people, and walked away with his men who were already waiting beside him.

"What do you think?" Du Yuhan's face was full of sadness.

"What else can you see? It's all here, can't you run back like this? Vic snorted.

"I'll build a city to see how it goes." Kevin's jaw of approval.

After discussing it, they still walked in the direction of the city gate.

And just as they expected, they were stopped by the guards as soon as they arrived at the city gate.

Kevin, who had always been in charge of this kind of diplomacy, spoke, "We are modelers of the country of Lindotte, and we are here to participate in the model of your city—"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by the other party.

"I don't care if you are from Lin Duote or Lin Shaote, the city lord has an order not to open the city gate without permission." The guard said angrily, "Come back when the gates are opened." ”

Kevin didn't react to the other party's rudeness, and still said humbly, "Then I wonder when this city gate will open again?" ”

"After the city lord gives the order, it will be opened." The guard didn't move.

When Du Yuhan heard this, he was anxious.

Wait until the city lord is normal before you can go in?

In case the other party's neuropathy lasts for months, won't he still have to wait outside the city?

So what about his commission?

Is it difficult to see the commission fail?

Is this still worth it?!

He stepped forward and stood facing him, the expression on his face was very stern, not angry and arrogant.

The guard was shocked by the vindictive aura emanating from him, and hurriedly took a half step back to make a defensive posture, vigilantly staring at the tall man's every move.

I saw Du Yuhan take out a letter from the ring and unfold it in front of the other party with a bang.
