"Wait, I'll put the rope down." Jiu Qing slowly lowered the large piece of rope in his hand.

Ye Moli climbed up along the rope with Yu Jiu on his back. "Ah...... Are all those Praetorian Guards gone? ”

"Well, they searched from house to house and left without finding anyone."

"Miss Ye, Miss Yu, let's go back to the medicine first." Jiu Qing was still more worried about Yu Jiu's physical condition, even though she had woken up now, the injuries on her body were still very serious.

"Okay." Ye Moli nodded and promised, she happened to have something to tell Jiuqing.

——

"Squeak-" The door opened and the shaft rotated a little harshly, after all, the wood used in this house could not withstand the harsh environment of the Desert Empire, and it had gradually corroded.

"Shhh Jiuqing lit an oil lamp, which emitted a small, faint light, barely enough to make people see the road in front of them so that they would not run around.

Ye Moli nodded and carefully closed the door.

"Miss Jiuqing, let's go to our room first, I have something I want to ask you." Ye Moli lowered his voice and said in a low voice.

Jiu Qing walked to the room with the medicine box, "Tell me something." ”

"We found something at the bottom of the well." As he spoke, Ye Moli reached out and took out the Void Mirror in his arms.

"...... this?" Jiu Qing had never seen the illustrated book of an ancient artifact, but he could also feel the mysterious power faintly emanating from the Void Mirror.

…… Oops, she forgot the illustrated book of the ancient artifact, Jiu Qing didn't have a chance to see it. "This half of the mirror is related to the future decline of the Desert Empire, now we need to go to the library of the royal city to find the remaining half, I hope you can tell me about the current system of the Desert Empire, please."

"This ......" Jiu Qing tilted his head, as if he was thinking about something, "Forget it, it doesn't hurt to tell you, anyway, this is a well-known thing in the Desert Empire." ”

Jiu Qing looked at the flickering fire in the oil lamp: "Seven years ago, there was a riot in the Desert Empire. The people exploited by the ruling class could not bear it anymore and launched an uprising in an attempt to rebel against their rule; In the end, it was neither the people nor the nobility who won this uprising, but Kong Jinzhi. He succeeded in taking the throne in that rebellion, but unfortunately he did not end the rule of exploitation and oppression as the people expected; But he did not exploit the rule of the people like the aristocracy. The first decree he issued in office ......"

"It is to order absolute silence throughout the country. He just went to a highly centralized rule, so no one dared to rebel against him. ”

"That's all I know, I came to the Desert Empire two years ago, these things ...... I was told by someone else. ”

"Now you get it? The reason why the streets of this country are so quiet. After speaking, Jiu Qing turned his head to look at Ye Moli, "You are foreign envoys, I don't want you to take this risk, but I hope that you can end the fate of the people of this country being oppressed and exploited." ”

"This country has been silent in the dark for too long. If it remains silent, it will perish in silence. ”

"What are the risks, let's be specific." Ye Moli had already sensed that what Jiu Qing said was circling them, and he didn't tell them what to do in the end.

Jiu Qing chuckled: "It is worthy of being the Great Chu Witch of the Wind Domain Empire, and he immediately grasped the point. ”

"I need you to go to the Library to get the Void Mirror, and at the same time get the history books about the Desert Empire ten years ago, as well as unlock the seal of the sleeping machine spirit in the Void Mirror. In exchange, I'll succeed in getting you to infiltrate the Library. ”

"I'm sorry, I can't do such a thing as unsealing the Instrument Spirit." Ye Moli vetoed the second half of what Jiu Qing said.

Neither ancient nor modern books have a way to unseal the spirit; Because the machine spirits sleep voluntarily, the only way to break the seal is for them to meet a master who has the same idea as they want. And at present, the only person Ye Moli knows who has the same heart as the Void Mirror is the owner of that diary.

Jiu Qing shook her head, "No, you can do it. Because ten years ago, the ancient Book of Prophecy of the Great Desert Empire once said that in the next ten years, there will be foreign messengers who will break through the shackles of chaos. In terms of your abilities, I believe in you. ”

Ye Moli naturally didn't believe that these books of prophecy could accurately tell the future, but since Jiu Qing said so, she had no choice but to nod and agree: "If that's the case, then I can try, but I don't know if it's successful or not." ”

"Also," Ye Moli hugged his chest, "Aren't you just coming to the Desert Empire for two years?" How could you know so much information about the Desert Empire. ”

Even the information left by the Book of Prophecy of the Desert Empire ten years ago is well understood, how can it be like she said, she has only just come to the Desert Empire for two or three years.

"I'll take you to meet someone tomorrow, and you'll know." Jiu Qing pursed her lips, "Let's take the medicine first." ”

"No, you don't." Ye Moli took the medicine box in one hand, "Let's just come by ourselves." ”

Now, it's not that they can't trust Jiuqing anymore, it's just that they will inevitably be a little embarrassed to see her again, and they can't be as natural as before.

——

"Yu Jiu, the wounds on your body...... Scars may be left later. Ye Moli's hand put on a striking scar on Yu Jiu's face, "Will you blame me?" ”

Yu Jiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "It's okay for me." The Secret Guard was supposed to protect his master. ”

＊＊＊＊

"This is it." Jiu Qing led Ye Moli to a mansion, "Remember to be quiet." ”

A few people entered lightly, and no one spoke along the way.

It was very quiet in a huge mansion, but there were quite a few servants, and along the way, a few people saw five or six people cutting flowers and plants in the courtyard, and servants cleaning the courtyard. But because they don't have too much language communication, they are extremely inefficient.

"The host is right in the yard. You see, please control it and don't scream. Jiu Qing walked to a room, knocked on the door, and reminded the two of them.

Ye Moli was still a little puzzled at first, she hadn't seen any big scenes, no matter how ugly the people in the door were, she wouldn't call ......

I'm a mother! Seeing the people in the room, Ye Moli's eyes straightened a little for a moment.

Even she, who has always been uninterested in beautiful men, has to exclaim, she is so handsome!

Not only is he not ugly, but he can be said to satisfy all everyone's fantasies about beautiful men; His eyes are pale blue and almost gray, his skin is very white but there is no sense of sickness, a pair of eyes are breathtaking, his pale red lips are simply fairy and people dare not blaspheme, and his pale blonde hair makes him look like an ancient elf coming out of a picture scroll.

But if you look closely, he looks a bit like Kong Jinzhi, just more handsome than him.

However, Ye Moli was still very sensible, and he was not carried away by the beauty, and exclaimed on the spot.

Ye Moli turned his head to look at Yu Jiu, thinking that she would be as surprised as himself, but he didn't expect Yu Jiu's face to be calm.

It seems that his willpower is not as high as his own little dark guard!

If Ye Moli knew why Yu Jiu was not interested in beautiful men, he might vomit blood and die on the spot.

Jiuqing sighed, she knew it would be like this. I think I stared at Oliver for a long time when I first saw him. If it weren't for the fact that she already had a sweetheart, she would even want to hook up with him.

"Can you cut straight to the chase? My name is Oliver, and I'm an unknown ...... in Garner City In your parlance, a rich man. Oliver smiled kindly, "Hello. ”

"Hello." Ye Moli quickly returned to her usual vigorous and resolute strong woman mode, raised her eyebrows and directly talked about the topic to cut to the topic, "Why do we need to find the history books from ten years ago, and why do we need to awaken the machine spirit in the Void Mirror?" ”

"You don't have to know that." Oliver frowned, and even the slightly displeased expression had a fairy aura.

"Sir, you're really joking." Ye Moli sneered and turned his head, "I don't know your ultimate goal, how can it be convenient for us to do things better?" ”

"Besides, we don't know the purpose, do we dare to do things?" Ye Moli clasped his hands on his chest, and that posture was obviously that if Oliver didn't say anything, she would stay here and do nothing.

"Princess...... May I? Oliver looked at Jiuqing with a questioning look.

Princess? Ye Moli raised his eyebrows, it seemed that he could get a lot of useful information from this title.

"Yes." It wasn't until Jiu Qing nodded in agreement that Oliver turned his head to look at Ye Moli and explained the reason for the matter.

"You found a diary at the bottom of that well, right?"

Ye Moli had never told anyone else about the diary, but Oliver asked so, which shows that it ......

"Could it be that you have already been to the bottom of the well to see it?"

"Of course not, it's just my guess." Oliver continued with a blank face, "What is placed together with the Void Mirror must be a diary that records the secrets of the Desert Empire 100 years ago. And the secrets of the Desert Empire 100 years ago must be closely related to the riot that occurred in the Desert Empire ten years ago. ”

"Let me tell you the details of the riots that took place ten years ago." Oliver took a sip of tea from his teacup before continuing, "It took ten years of the deepening tyranny of the king of the Great Desert Empire to lead to that riot. But in fact, there was still an heir to the throne who survived in that riot. It's a girl, and her mother is a fireworks girl from the Wind Empire, so the girl has been abandoned in the wilderness by the king of the Desert Empire since she was born because of her impure blood. Her mother couldn't bear to see her child starve to death in the wilderness like that, and ordered her personal maid to take the child to the Wind Empire to continue raising. And that girl ......," Oliver's eyes fell on Jiuqing, "it is Miss Jiuqing, Her Royal Highness the princess of our country." ”

Jiuqing's face was also slightly pale at this time, obviously it was not the first time she knew the truth, but when she heard that the aunt who raised her from below was actually not her biological mother, but the kind maid at the beginning, she inevitably couldn't accept it in her heart.

"Oliver, I only recognize my current aunt, and you won't call me a princess in the future. Please. ”

"But, Your Highness Princess, you can deny everything that happened in the past, but you can't deny blood, the Desert Empire needs your rule to get rid of the current darkness."
