The dusk in Tania was as deep and dry as ever, and even after the end of the summer, the temperature here was still dreary and unusual, baking every guard around, as if the rainstorm that had just fallen the night before had had no effect at all. It seems that the www.biquge.info has been affected by this, and the soldiers who patrol the surroundings have gradually become agitated, as if everything here has become unacceptable, and it is difficult for people to linger in the slightest, let alone the feelings in the heart of a fat man who is afraid of the heat.

"Don't be like this, brother, the principality is in danger, everyone needs to help." So he wiped the sweat from his head again: "Don't look at us with hatred, we are not bad people......"

"If you answer my question, then I'll take back my thoughts for now." Duan Qing did not shy away from saying, "Give me an answer, or ......"

"I guessed right?"

"No, no, absolutely not." Fat and sweaty waved his hands: "We don't know the whereabouts of your adventurers at all, that's too difficult for us, you will disappear if you have nothing to do, we haven't kept up with it several times, and we have already given up on such a plan...... Ah no, no, no, no, we've never had such an idea, hahahaha! ”

It's said that players will go offline if they have nothing to do...... Duan Qing thought to himself in his heart, but he still maintained an impatient expression on his face that twisted his eyebrows.

"Total, anyway...... The argument that we want to lure you here is simply nonsense, we don't even know what happened that night, how can we know that you came to the hospital! The news of the Speaker's hospitalization here was also closed, and except for a few councillors and dignitaries of the Principality, no more people knew about it...... Could it be that Cornelly of Cabinborough told you? ”

“…… is a drunk. Duan Qing replied in a deep voice, "It was Rex who told me."

"What? How can it be? The fat man immediately screamed, "How could he know such a thing?"

"He's heard rumors about the Valya Tavern." Duan Qing stared at the other party's face: "And the Valia Tavern...... It's that Hank's territory. ”

"Warrior's House? No way! The fat man jumped up: "They are provoking!" It's a crime! It is a blatant violation of the promise made at the beginning! We will never let them go! Rest assured, uh......"

He retracted his passionate words and looked at the playful gaze projected on the other side: "There are rumors in the tavern, it is a normal thing, why do you ...... So excited? Are you sure that the warrior's house did it? ”

"Because...... Uh......"

"No, they didn't do it." Without waiting for the fat man to come up with a result, Duan Qing shook his head and analyzed: "Hank has been giving us benefits recently, and it can be seen that he has some of his own goals, so he wants to win over us adventurers." Such a position is the same as yours, and there is no reason for them to act and undermine the general trend that you have created...... Am I right? ”

“…… It seems like so. ”

"The message turned out to be correct, but there was no problem with the Valia Tavern, and if I had assumed my original assumption, then there might be a problem in the end...... It's Rex. Duan Qing showed a gloomy smile: "Judging from your performance just now...... This is extremely likely, because you seem to be in a hurry to get rid of this black cauldron, such a mentality...... It's almost the mentality of a murderer. ”

He ...... Isn't it from your intelligence department? Duan Qing stared at the fat man's eyes again: "You made such a plan?"

“……”

Just as Duan Qing had imagined, the man named Lux Yang finally lowered his head and fell into some kind of silence that contrasted with the twilight. But it didn't take long for the fat man to raise his head again, and on that round cake-like face, a strange smile beyond Duan Qing's imagination also appeared: "You...... What did you just say? Rex is my subordinate? ”

“…… What, what's wrong? Am I wrong? ”

"Hahahaha! Ahahahaha! ”

A loud and loud laugh suddenly erupted from the fat man's mouth, and then gradually spread as he slapped the wall, as if he wanted everyone who heard the laughter to understand his mood at this time. However, this kind of laughter naturally made Duan Qing in front of him inexplicable, and a group of guards patrolling nearby were also attracted by such a burst of laughter after a while: "Hey! You two ......."

Whew――

The dust mixed with the whistling of breaking through the sky suddenly disappeared from Duan Qing's eyes, and then appeared in front of the team of guards with the figure of a fat man. He looked back, only to see that the fat man, who was still laughing wildly, was blocked in front of the team of guards, and then accepted the nod of the team in a wild laugh, and then returned to Duan Qing: "Hahahahaha...... You, you're promising, how's that? Would you like to come to our intelligence department? ”

"What, what a mess ......"

Slapping away the fat hand that belonged to the fat man, Duan Qing asked inexplicably, "Let's not talk about the question just now, the intelligence department can actually let adventurers join?"

"Of course, of course not...... "Finally stopped his exaggerated laughter, and the fat man gasped hard, calming his already chaotic breathing: "But...... We can discuss, there are no rules that can't be broken, right? If done right, I might be able to turn Rex into one of my men? ”

“…… If I guessed wrong, I just said, what are you doing with such a big movement? ”

Shaking his head helplessly, Duan Qing muttered a few words to himself, and then raised his head again, trying to pull the conversation back into the normal process: "That means ...... Wasn't he part of your plans? ”

"What a plan, I said you don't want to guess so many strange things......" The fat man replied, clutching his stomach, "Do you think...... In order to trap one person, we have to lose one of our fortresses? ”

“……”

"The battle at Fars Fortress clearly echoes the attack on this side." The fat man tugged at his belly and explained: "Although it is a little different from what we expected, the final result is similar - we did secretly send a lot of people to defend Fars, which caused our side to become a little empty, so no matter which side went wrong, the final result was that the other party earned ......"

"Wait a minute, you know the fortress is going to be attacked?" Duan Qing suddenly interjected and asked, "How do you know?"

"We also have a lot of informants." The fat man blinked his eyes: "Besides...... And the help of you adventurers. ”

"You mean...... Rivers and lakes? ”

"Oh, it's not just them, but so many warm-hearted people." The fat man looked at Duan Qing's face: "For example, the Sword of Justice who is still assisting in the investigation everywhere, a few adventurers who anonymously delivered us messages, and...... A man like you. ”

"We really didn't expect the attack that night to be of such intensity." The fat man slowly lowered his face: "Fortunately, you appeared in the end, and on behalf of Mr. Speaker, I thank you again for your help to the principality."

"I just want to save Slanko's descendants." Duan Qing said expressionlessly, "Your speaker is just by the way."

"By the way...... Hah, whatever you say. The fat man chuckled and said, "But the defense that night was really bad, although it was the Speaker's intention......"

He stopped talking, then looked at Duan Qing's gaze that was still on his face, and smiled bitterly helplessly: "Okay, we do have some ideas and want to lure some people out, but it's definitely not those killers, or your appearance, but some...... Others. ”

"This is me and Pamir...... The result was discussed for a long time. He closed his gaze and gave a contemplative expression: "It's a bit risky, but it's a great opportunity."

"Who is it?" Duan Qing asked, "Could it be those nobles?"

"Whoever he is...... That's what I thought at the time. ”

The fat man shook his head and sighed, then continued to whisper, "Anyway...... We were right, and they did send somebody. ”

“……”

"Oh, I don't mean the killers you drove away." Realizing Duan Qing's inquiring gaze, the fat man immediately raised his head and explained, "Of course...... It's not the nobility, they're not enough for that. ”

"...... that?"

"I want to ...... You should know one thing, right? ”

Instead of answering Duan Qing's words, Young asked another question to himself: "Our president...... Old man Horsman hasn't been seen for a long time. ”

Duan Qing's eyes froze.

"Whatever the reason, the principality is currently in an extremely dangerous situation, and as the nominal supreme leader, he should come out and make a statement, even if it is a serious illness." The fat man whispered, "But ...... Maybe it's because there have been too many things happening lately, and the speaker has been dealing with it too quickly, we and you ...... It seems that they have forgotten that he exists. ”

"This ...... Is it normal? ”

"Where does the President currently live?"

"On the high platform of the Prophet, behind the Scales of Freedom." Pointing to a certain direction behind the library, he said indifferently: "Someone has always taken care of him on weekdays, and after a long time, everyone has become accustomed to such a state of life, and now I want to come...... It's been a long time since I've seen the old man. ”

"What do you want to say......" Duan Qing deliberately lowered his voice: "He is the mastermind behind everything?"

"Hey, I know you guys don't know about Hossman." The fat man immediately shouted: "But don't say it so ugly, he won't do such a thing......"

"Then what are you talking about for half a day?" Duan Qing's eyes widened: "Teasing me, right?"

"Think of the information you brought me." The fat man turned his head and glanced at Duan Qing's face.

"Other...... I have no comment. ”

******************************

"Do you need some smuggling, gentleman?"

“……”

"They all came in recently, and the quality is the best, and now they are on sale...... Shh ”

Walking in the dark passage, Duan Qing, who was wearing a cloak, stepped over a passerby who stepped forward to dump black goods, and then opened his adventure notes while stopping at an intersection at the end of the passage - due to the closure of the Valia Tavern, Duan Qing, who wanted to enter the black market, had to look for other places to enter, and the tavern where the dignity of the commoner was located was an option, but he really didn't want to deal with the Shadow Society anymore, so he had to ask the fat man in front of him to show him a way out. Fortunately, the fat man was not a rigid person, and the answer he gave was quite unexpected by Duan Qing.

"Well, there's one in the back of the library." At that time, he pointed to the back of the ornate Gothic building, and then blinked his eyes.

Since it was not a route that he was familiar with, and the adventure notes did not leave any maps and records, Duan Qing had no choice but to open the function of the notes while groping for the passage forward, and then slowly walked towards the southeast of the underground world under the eyes of the surrounding eyes, trying to connect the road in front of him with the map that had been discovered in the record. Fortunately, this place was indeed a place that extended in all directions, as Hank said, so Duan Qing didn't have much effort to touch the end of the black fog on the other side of the map and find the iron door of the maintenance room.

To his surprise, the owner of the Valia Tavern, Mr. Hank of the Warrior's House, was also in the old black camel's shop.

"Why are you here again?" Stopping the conversation, the hunchbacked old man stared, and then showed an impatient expression: "There are no gamblers today!" If you want to make money, go somewhere else! ”

"I'm here to find out." Duan Qing shook his head, and then looked at the president who was standing aside: "Lord Hank."

"Don't be so polite, just call me Hank." The man, who was still dressed as a bartender, straightened his shirt and then showed a kind smile: "But...... I didn't expect you to find it here. ”

"Adventurers always have their way." Duan Qing touched his nose and replied, and then walked to the side of the two people: "But...... There's always some news that only those of you know. ”

"Not necessarily." The old man tilted his head and said, "Let's talk about your request first, we have to listen to it before we can decide whether to tell you or not."

"You should already know the current situation in Tania." Duan Qing said in a low voice, "What I want to ask is...... Has a group of people come to the city recently? ”

“……”

"Aren't they planning a lot of things? Include...... An attack on the Speaker? ”

"What a beautiful question." The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he replied lazily, "According to the rules, we ......"

"Wait a minute, let me guess." Hank raised his hand to interrupt the other man's words, and then turned a coin in his hand, "You should have gone to the shadows first, right?"

"I went over there and asked something different." Duan Qing spread his hands meaninglessly: "So...... They didn't answer me all either. ”

"They didn't ask for money?" The old man immediately screamed, "When did they become so merciful? It's clear to ...... with us."

"Don't worry, don't worry." Hank pushed his hands and motioned to the old man behind him to calm down a little, and then turned around and faced Duan Qing's direction: "In our dark world, there is no problem that cannot be solved, and such a thing as inquiring about intelligence is just a trivial matter, but ......"

"You have to give something."

"I've already said it in front of Visel." Duan Qing replied calmly: "I don't have any money, unless you are willing to accept other payment methods."

"Hey, boy, where do you think this is, Charity?" The old man immediately shouted in the back: "I don't have any money and I am talking so arrogantly......"

"It's okay to have strength." Hank smiled instead: "There is another word in the dark world......"

"Problems that money can't solve, you can solve with your fists."

"What do you need me to do?" Duan Qing's eyes froze.

"No, no, no." Hank waved his hand and said, "I mean ......"

"You can find out for yourself...... Do you understand? ”
