Pei Xia was engrossed in making a model in a heavily guarded cell.

"This trap trap you're making is a chain flipper, isn't it?" Suddenly, a voice came from the door of the cell.

Pei Xia's heart trembled, and he slowly looked up at the door of the cell, but saw that the person who spoke Ilo to himself was the translator of Gutrive before. At this time, he pushed open the door of the camp house that had been locked, and walked into Pei Xia's prison under the gaze of two soldiers.

"You know the chain flipper?" After raising his eyes to look at the translator, Pei Xia continued to fiddle with the model in his hand and asked.

"I've seen it." The translator said lightly.

Pei Xia chuckled lightly and then said, "This chain flap is an anti-tomb robbery trap specially placed in the cemetery to prevent tomb robbers from robbing tombs. ”

"Watch your rhetoric. I'm not a lackey, and I've never robbed any tombs. The interpreter walked out of the barn and said to him, "Now, you're the one who is the lackey." ”

"Huh." Pei Xia chuckled lightly and then said, "You're right. In order to avoid being chased and eaten, I had to come here to beg for food. ”

"Pei Xia, what is the real purpose of your visit to Asol?" The translator looked at Pei Xia and suddenly asked seriously.

Pei Xia was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at the translator and said, "I just said, be a lackey, begging for food." How? Do you have to interrogate me again after you have interrogated me for your master? ”

"I'm not going to interrogate you." The translator looked at Pei Xia and whispered, "Because of what you said, you offended the powerful and were chased and killed all the way west, and came here to find a carpenter job to make a living, it was just a lie you made up casually." A lie like this may be able to fool Lord Gutrief, who is only focused on building construction and has no scheming, but it will definitely not fool me. ”

"Oh?" Pei Xia looked at the translator in front of him and asked, "According to what you say, you are stronger than your master?" Why don't you interrogate me before then? ”

"I have no affiliation with Lord Gutrief, and he is not my master. Also, I didn't say I was better than him. It's just that my experience makes it easy for me to detect your lies, and he easily trusts you with no interrogation experience. Not only that, but he even leaked his information to you in reverse. The translator looked at Pei Xia and said calmly.

Hearing what the translator said, Pei Xia couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart. He then asked, "If you think so, why don't you tell the chief inquisitor named Gutrive what you think?" ”

"If I was going to tell him this, then I wouldn't be here looking for you." The translator said.

Pei Xia hesitantly looked at the person in front of him and asked in a low voice, "It seems that you came to me behind his back, tell me, what's the matter with you?" ”

"Something important." The translator looked at Pei Xia and said seriously.

"Something important? How important can it be to find a carpenter prisoner who is locked up? Pei Xia asked softly.

"You're not a simple carpenter." The translator said.

"You're not a simple translator either." Pei Xia looked at the model in front of him and said, "I've only done half of the model of the chain flipper, and you can recognize it at a glance." Don't sell it, let's talk, what the hell are you looking for me? ”

"I need to verify your identity before I can tell you about it." "I need to make sure I'm taking a huge risk and finding the right person." ”

Pei Xia smiled and then said, "Do you still want to verify your identity?" I'm afraid you're trying to trick me into this, right? Still, I said you should not waste your mind, to tell you the truth, mine is just a carpenter from Irolai. ”

"I don't want to say anything to you, and I don't need to say anything to you. Actually, you don't have to hide anything in front of me, because I've already found out what you're doing. The translator said seriously, "All you have to do is confirm what I said." ”

Pei Xia was stunned for a moment and then suddenly put down the tools in his hand, he slowly raised his head and looked at the person in front of him and asked, "Then tell me, who am I?" What's the bottom line? ”

"You are a native of Chongfang County, Yiluo Tianxuan Prefecture, and you have joined the Silent Recitation Sect since you were a child, and then you have been practicing your skills in Linglong Mountain until you became an official of the Yiluo Imperial Court Gongzao Mansion." The translator said.

Hearing these words, Pei Xia was taken aback. He stared at the translator with wide eyes in astonishment, then looked at him more closely. He saw that he was mediocre, the kind of civilian face that would be forgotten in an instant when he met him on the streets of Iro. Pei Xia didn't have the slightest impression of him, and he was sure that he had never seen him in Yiluo before. He couldn't even imagine how the person in front of him could know so much about his identity.

"Who the hell are you?" Pei Xia asked in surprise.

The translator smiled and said, "It seems that the information I have is not wrong. ”

"How do you know that?" Pei Xia continued to ask seriously.

"Didn't you just say that I'm not a simple translator." The interpreter smiled and said, "I know a lot more about it. ”

"You're not easy." Pei Xia didn't continue to ask, he said instead, "But I don't understand why you alone have to run all the way from Ilo to Athor to be a lackey for them. ”

"I said, I'm not a lackey. Looks like I have to tell you, I'm not an Ilo. The interpreter said, "I am from Asol. Is it a lackey for the Athors to be interpreters for the Asor?"

"What? Are you a native of Asol? Pei Xia looked at the translator's face in surprise and asked hesitantly.

"Of course, I'm from Azore. It's just that in my body, a native of Azar, there is a part of the blood of the Ilo Galactic Clan. ”

Pei Xia looked at the translator in front of him in surprise, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Is this hard to understand?" The interpreter smiled and said, "I'm afraid there are more people like me in Iro. I went to Luochuan once, where I met people from many other races besides the Yinhe Clan, the main ethnic group of Yiluo. Those people have different shades of skin color, different hair colors, straight or flat noses, tall or short bodies, and their appearance is significantly different from most people, but after living in Luochuan for a long time, they all changed into the traditional clothes of Yiluo and spoke the language of Yiluo. Over time, the foreigners who lived in Ilo, some of them or some of their descendants, slowly turned to identify themselves as part of the Ilo Empire, and identified themselves as the real Ilo people. Actually, I was just like them, except that I identified with Athore. ”

Pei Xia was silent for a moment, and then he asked, "If it weren't for the war and famine, few people in the Galaxy Clan would be willing to leave their homeland, so why did you travel thousands of miles from Ilo to Asol?" Since you've been to Luochuan, it's bustling and lively, why don't you stay there and live? ”

"I can answer your question, but it's a long story." The translator said, "I hope that after I finish speaking, you will have a sense of respect and trust in me." ”

Pei Xia nodded slightly.

The interpreter spoke slowly, "More than sixty years ago, my grandfather went out of Tianxuan Prefecture to the northwest with Yiluo's then chariot general, and went on an expedition to drive away the Khan tent of the Huda Wind Tribe, which had repeatedly violated the border. As a scout, he encountered the elite light cavalry of the Huda people during a reconnaissance trip. Pursued by the enemy's light cavalry, my grandfather, in order not to expose the route of the Ilo expeditionary force, did not choose to flee in the direction where the large army was, but chose another deserted direction to try to mislead and throw off the enemy. However, while fleeing in an unfamiliar direction, he escaped from the pursuit of the enemy, but unfortunately lost his way. Hungry, cold and wounded, he struggled in the deserted mountains for more than ten days, and when he was helpless and almost dying, he was fortunate to meet a caravan of Athore returning from the north, and was rescued. The kind merchant took him to the territory of Azor where he was healed of his wounds, and here, when my grandfather was a young man, befriended my grandmother, who was from the Turks of the East, and they eventually tied the knot and migrated together to live in the Land of Listening. ”

Pei Xia was silent for a moment after hearing the translator's words, and then he asked him, "I think you are also the queen of the imperial general, dare to ask your honorable name?" ”

"Liu Qiang."

"Liu Qiang..."Pei Xia nodded lightly and then said, "After you tell me, everything is much clearer." But there is one thing I don't understand, since you have always lived in Asuor and have only been to Luochuan once, how do you know who I am? Especially about the school of meditation, where did you learn about it? ”

Liu Qiang smiled and said, "Eagle Eye will know everything, know everything." ”

"You're the Hawkeye Apostle?!" Pei Xia asked in surprise.

"Be quiet, don't attract the attention of the guards. I was able to come here alone thanks to Gutrief's trust, who asked me to come here and ask what carpenter's tools you need. After a slight pause, Liu Qiang continued, "You are right, I am the Hawkeye Apostle of the Hawkeye Society, and I am mainly responsible for collecting information about the eastern countries of the Azor Empire, especially the information of Yiluo. ”

"I didn't expect you to be an Eagle-Eyed Apostle." Pei Xia muttered in a low voice, "Say, what is important to you?" ”

"Something about Dingirla." Liu Qiang said in a low voice.

Pei Xia was surprised in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to know nothing and asked, "What Erla?" ”

"You should know. That's the tower not far away. Liu Qiang said.

"Oh, it's that tower, what's wrong with that tower?" Pei Xia asked.

"Pei Xia, I know your details, what I said to you just now, I also hope that you can fully trust me. I hope you don't try to hide anything anymore. Liu Qiang said, "Isn't the purpose of your travel all the way here to investigate why we Yasol built such a tower?" And what kind of secrets are hidden in the tower? ”

Pei Xia didn't expect Liu Qiang to say it so bluntly, he smiled lightly and asked, "To tell you the truth, you are quite honest, although you are from Yasuor, I am willing to believe you." Then you're going to tell me why you Azor built this tower, and what secrets are hidden in it? ”

"That's why I'm here for you." "I hope we can work together. ”

"Cooperation?" Pei Xia thought for a moment and asked, "Don't you know why you built this tower?" ”

"Yes."

Pei Xia was surprised and stared at Liu Qiang with a puzzled gaze and asked, "You really don't know?" ”

"I really don't know. The Dingira Tower was built by order of the previous emperor, but the emperor no longer dealt with state affairs after he ordered the construction of the giant tower. The affairs of the entire country were then transferred to the hands of the regent. Liu Qiang said, "As for why the emperor built Dingirlata, no one knows." ”

"Isn't there anyone asking why it's going to be built for a project this big?" Pei Xia asked.

Of course some people ask, and too many people want to know why. There were also many people who strongly objected to the construction of such a useless thing with all their national resources, but because no one could see the emperor again, they could never know the real answer. Liu Qiang said.

"Doesn't an intelligence organization like your Eagle Eye Society know a little bit of information about it?" Pei Xia asked suspiciously.

Liu Qiang shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know." ”

"To whom are you accountable?" Pei Xia asked instead.

Liu Qiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Before the regent takes over, the Hawkeye Society will only be responsible to the emperor alone. We obey only his commands. But now it's different, when the Emperor doesn't reappear, we Hawkeye are now more obedient to the Regent. ”

Pei Xia nodded slightly, and then said, "Your emperor hid after ordering the construction of this giant tower?" ”

Liu Qiang said, "So to speak. It is precisely because the emperor no longer shows up that some people inevitably think that the regent put the emperor under house arrest. ”

"That's what you think, right?" Pei Xia asked.

"Why do you ask?" Liu Qiang asked rhetorically.

"Now that the Lord Regent is in power, if you were loyal enough to the Lord Regent, you wouldn't have come to me like this." Pei Xia said, "I guess you must have a lot of affection for the emperor and are very loyal, so you want to know about this tower." ”

"You're smart, even if it's right." After a slight pause, Liu Qiang said, "Pei Xia, I need your help to investigate the matter of Dingirla, are you willing to cooperate with me?" ”

"What can I do?" Pei Xia raised the shackles on one hand and asked.

"A lot." Liu Qiang said, "I know the skills of your Silent Chanting School, and I also know that you have excellent carpentry skills. Did you know that here, anyone with a great craftsman's skills is valued and valued by the construction manager? Even if the person is a captive, a slave, an outcast, or even a criminal, they will be given a job to match their abilities. ”

"Meritocracy, that's good." Pei Xia thought for a moment and said, "Do you think I will definitely be able to gain the trust of the manager?" And you can get an important job, and in the work, you can get access to some secret content about the tower that is difficult for ordinary people to access, right? ”

Liu Qiang nodded slightly.

"Well, but why should I be your eyeliner?" Pei Xia asked, "If that's the case, wouldn't it be better for me to investigate what I want to know myself?" ”

"You're going to have a lot of difficulties, and you need my help." Liu Qiang said, "Not to mention what I can actually help you do, just the information that I and the Eagle Eye Club behind me have, it is far beyond your cognition and imagination." ”

Pei Xia was silent for a moment, then nodded lightly and said, "Okay, I'm willing to cooperate with you." ”
