Before Ye Zhi went offline, that is, before he appeared outside Dingshui City, an earthquake suddenly occurred in the area of the Cloud Hammer Valley, to be precise, a mountain earthquake, and all the people in the ancient castle who were leveling up died.

All those who set foot in the city were automatically given a task, and the city lord was invited.

All this, Ye Zhi, who has gone offline, and the noodle soup experts who are leveling in Guixin Village don't know about it.

By the time Ye Zhi went online, the city was full of people discussing this matter, and even if Ye Zhi couldn't receive the task, he probably understood what they were discussing.

opened the mercenary group channel, to Ye Zhi's surprise, no one in the noodle soup channel was discussing things in the city, Ye Zhi privately thought that a few people felt that they were whitewashed by NPCs, and they probably couldn't catch up with the task, so they didn't discuss it.

Turning off the mercenary group channel, Ye Zhi looked at his seat, he had chosen a random place before, but he didn't expect it to be the safe area of the Thieves' Guild that was closer to the grocery store and grocery store.

Thinking of going to the grocery store first and asking around, at least knowing what was going on, it was too abrupt to ask the player.

Ye Zhi walked towards the outside of the safety zone, and a few guards walked in front of him, Ye Zhi thought that this was an ordinary city patrol guard, but he didn't expect that when the two sides were about to pass by. The guards surrounded Ye Zhi, and the leading captain saluted Ye and said, "The city lord is invited." ”

Ye Zhi's heart fluttered, is the city lord invited? This is not good news, he has no friendship with the city lord, and the city lord will never have nothing to talk to him about as a priest, right?

The players stopped and watched secretly, but the guards didn't reveal much information, and waited for Ye Zhi to answer after speaking.

"Can you not go?" Ye Zhi asked tentatively.

"I can't." The captain of the guard replied dryly.

"Let's go." Ye Zhi gave up the struggle and was taken away by the guards under the curious eyes of countless players.

When he walked into the city hall, Ye Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, he finally didn't have to be noticed by the players anymore, the guards who had been half-escorted to the city hall had dispersed, and only one guard captain was left to take him to see the city lord.

After yesterday's wave of task congestion, today's city administration hall is a little less, but it is only a little less, the city lord who appeared yesterday has returned to the background, and the people who came to take over the task today have only seen the captain of the city defense corps.

Bypass the city hall and walk to the third floor to see the city lord Oriao, Ye Zhi muttered whether civil servants have the habit of sitting in the office, and was taken into the room where the city lord was by the captain of the guards, let's just call the city lord's office.

In the city lord's office, there was a map on the wall and a sand table on the table, and Oriao stood between the sand table on the table and the map on the wall, moving the small flag near the Yunchui Mountains on the sand table.

After receiving the signal, Ye Zhi sat on the chair opposite Oriao, quietly waiting for the hair. When waiting for the delivery, it is indispensable to glance at the sand table or the map.

The map of the city lord's office is much stronger than the map that comes with the system, and when Ye Zhi silently remembered the various mineral bandit strongholds on the map, the city lord spoke.

"Want a map?"

"Yes." Ye Zhi subconsciously told the truth.

"Tell me what's going on in the Wetrii Mountains, and I'll have a copy of the map for you." Oriao put forward the condition with a calm face, "This is a good deal. ”

Almost blurted out, Ye Zhi swallowed the word silently, and said in a different sentence: "I think it's a good deal for you to be the city lord." ”

"I can disqualify you from studying."

“……”

"I can also disqualify you as a citizen."

“……”

"I can also issue a wanted warrant."

“……”

"Do you think it's a good deal right now?"

"It's not a good deal." Ye Zhi looked at Oriao with a sincere face, "City Lord, you think it's a good deal, but I don't think it's fair at all." ”

"Oh?" Oriao found a chair and sat down, "What do you say?" ”

"Because if I want to get this map, I have to tell you about the Yunchui Mountains, but I don't know what's going on there, so if I get this map, I'm bound to deceive you." Ye Zhi paused, "I don't think it's much better to deceive you, so I chose to refuse the exchange." ”

"You don't know." Oriao looked at Ye Zhi with a look of disbelief.

"I really don't know, what's going on over there in the Yunchui Mountains?" Ye Zhi looked serious, and finally asked what happened, he didn't lie, he only knew what happened in the ancient castle, and he didn't know what happened in the Yuntui Mountain Range yesterday.

"Yes." Oriao leaned back in his chair and looked at Ye Zhi, he believed this sentence, but he didn't believe that the priest opposite didn't know the inside story of what happened in the Yuntui Mountain Range, according to the informant, the only people who entered the ancient castle before yesterday were the priest opposite him and the six adventurers who had disappeared.

"Yes." Ye Zhi pinched his sweat, although this is in the game, but he is still not very good at dealing with people with positions, this is a problem left when he was still studying, and he was afraid as soon as he entered the office. That's why he will become a homebody after graduation, right? But recently, the road of this professional gamer has been cut off in half, should he go to the place where he got the notice to take a look, and it can be regarded as finding a job, right? Ye Zhi's thoughts gradually drifted away.

"Ahem, are you listening?" Orio coughed twice.

"Excuse me, where are you talking?" Ye Zhi returned to his soul.

"The ancient castle next to the Yunchui Mountain Range has produced a large amount of poisonous gas, poisoning the surrounding adventurers, according to the judgment of the instructor of the Priest Academy, it is a toxin with dark attributes." Oriao repeated, "So I'm going to find someone in the know to find out the reason for the matter." ”

"Then why are you looking for me?" Ye Zhi asked.

"It's not just you, I've approached everyone." Orio had a reason to mess around, and now was not the time to expose the sentry.

"Understood." Ye Zhi was silent, if it was a dark attribute toxin near the Yunchui Mountain Range. Then it is very likely that it is because of Vanessa, Vanessa betrayed her faith and could not die, which is very similar to the lich background in other games, of course, there is no lich setting in "Parallel", but there is still a setting that betrays faith and becomes half-human and half-demon because of the temptation of demons.

So that means that Vanessa was tempted by the devil at that time, betrayed her belief in the gods, and thus obtained the right not to die, and not the previous owner who killed the castle as she said became the person who was not a human or a ghost.

It seems that there are not a few more parts of the story that have been changed, right? When Ye Zhi was thinking about his own affairs, Oriao was also observing Ye Zhi, and he couldn't let him go casually until he was sure that Ye Zhi really didn't know about it.

When Ye Zhi thought of the contents of Vanessa's notes from Vanessa's lies, Oriao finally spoke.

"You go first, and I'll see you when the war starts, the people from the Priesthood College should inform you."

"Okay city lord, then I'll go first." Ye Zhi, who heard the key words leaving, immediately stood up, saluted and walked out of the door.

Greeted the guards with a smile and walked out of the city hall Ye Zhicai relaxed, rubbed his facial muscles that had stiffened with a smile, and realized that the city lord seemed to have said more than just one sentence when he let him go.

What else did he say? Ye Zhi rubbed his face and walked in the direction of the grocery store, the city lord seemed to say goodbye when the war started, Ye Zhi's hand froze, go to war? And with what? It's not going to attack the castle, is it?

The more Ye Zhi thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, so he sped up and ran towards the grocery store grocery store, Wen Zou should know more than him.

The streets are full of players running around to buy things and repair equipment and go offline, and Ye Zhi is not very conspicuous in it, but Ye Zhi always feels uncomfortable being stared at, and it is always the same when he looks back.

Attributing the feeling to thinking too much, Ye Zhi went to the commercial street and plunged into the grocery store grocery store, and happened to meet the summary meeting, plus Ye Zhi, who had just entered, happened to be a rare summary meeting for all employees.

"Yo, Alpha." The first person to see Ye Zhi was the store manager Wen Zou, "I closed the door, how did you get in?" ”

Hearing this question, Ye Zhi subconsciously looked at the door behind him with the others, and the two door panels swayed pitifully: "Probably crashed in?" Ye Zhi's tone was full of uncertainty, he was a logistical assistant, how could he cause such a big damage.

"The money for repairing the door is deducted from your wages." Wen Zou announced the result very quickly and crisply, "The seat next to Guo Cheng is yours, sit down first." ”

Ye Zhi swept around, and there was an empty seat next to the beggar he met before, and it was estimated that the beggar was the Guo beggar in Wen Zou's mouth, walked to the seat and sat down, and Wen Zou began to speak.

"This time, all the staff are here, so let's just start the annual meeting." Wen Zou leaned back in his chair, without any serious meeting, Ye Zhi looked around, it seemed that everyone else except himself was doing their own things, eating melon seeds, chatting, writing, and bringing noodles from Shui Delou to eat.

"Let me introduce first, what sat down just now is our new member, Alpha, a member of the Priesthood Academy, next time you are unlucky and injured, go directly to him, don't ask me for reimbursement for work-related injuries." Wen Zou pointed to Alpha and said to the others.

"If you have something, just come to me, and the cost of treatment will be counted on the store manager's account." Ye Zhi answered with a smile, and received a positive gaze x8 and a disdainful gaze x1.

"......" Wen Zou was silent for a moment, not wanting the clerk to discuss the issue of reimbursement of treatment expenses, so he quickly switched to the next topic, "Where did we talk about just now?" Oh, the reason why I asked you to rush back as early as possible today is because of the change in the Wetrii Mountains yesterday. ”

Ye Zhigang wanted to laugh at Wen Zou's way of changing the topic too bluntly, so he heard four words, Yunchui Mountain Range.
