Chapter 14: The Red-robed Mage
Due to the fact that the situation is too special, regarding Gu Linghuan's matter, the organization's final instructions to Song Yixiu are still to be determined.
Not only that, but in the final message, the upper echelons of the organization will send a member of the special affairs team to assist in the investigation within a month.
Song Yixiu sighed, his eyes a little sad.
He has been waiting for half a month, and now he still has to wait?
The organization didn't even write him a blank check!!
Song Yixiu felt that at least regardless of whether it was true or not, he had to set a point price for this Gu Linghuan in Canglan City first!!
And who can say clearly about the things of a month, what if Gu Linghuan wants to leave Canglan City?
Could it be that you have to follow along??
Haven't all these years been in vain?
I've been mixed up for 12 years, and it's obviously 50 points, why should I encounter this kind of thing at the last moment!
Thinking of this, Song Yixiu inexplicably felt that he was really pitiful.
He's an Assassin!
Not a wise city lord!
I don't want to be a crooked county lord nanny!
He just wanted to be an assassin who walked in the shadows.
Instead of getting up every morning, the people he met came over and shouted to him as a city lord!!
Unlike Gu Linghuan's information, the news about the red-robed mage came quickly and neatly in the organization!
This red-robed mage is not from the vicinity of Canglan City, but a wandering habitual offender!
Even in the Canaanite Empire, it belongs to the wanted list!
His rank is about that of a nine-star mage, and he is good at transfiguration, proficient in wind magic and fire magic, and has a record of defeating two-star mages across classes. Not only that, but he also seems to have some kind of special secret method, which can extract the caster's magic source and supply it for his own cultivation!!
"Thirty contribution points?" Song Yixiu's face was happy.
Although it is only seeking investigation, the handler of this application and the handler of Gu Linghuan's application should be different people.
It was clearly written that under limited conditions, if you can assassinate this red-robed mage, you will be rewarded with fifteen contribution points!
If he can figure out the secret method he has in his hands, then he will have 30 contribution points!!
In addition, there is a more detailed description of the red-robed mage and the addition of events on the receipt, such as the red-robed mage's investigation records in other cities, and even some of the locations where he may appear are marked!
......
"Lord of the City, in half a month, it will be the Lantern Festival."
At the usual dinner time in the City Lord's Mansion, Tang Yinqi asked Song Yixiu:
"This year's Canglan Lantern Festival seems to be hosted by the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce, just over there in Canglan Lake, today they asked someone to ask, saying that the matter of the red-robed mage has been settled, and whether this year's Canglan Lantern Festival can be done."
"Lantern Festival?" Song Yixiu came back to his senses.
He had been thinking about Gu Linghuan and the red-robed mage all day today, if it hadn't been for Tang Yinqi's reminder, he would have really forgotten about the Lantern Festival.
"Why not."
Song Yixiu pondered for a moment and replied:
"I'll be keeping vigil in the city that night, it shouldn't be a big problem, I'd love to see that red-robed mage show up."
"If he dares to show up, I will definitely let him come and go!"
After all, it is thirty points, and Song Yixiu still values it very much.
If you can get these thirty points, you can be regarded as having a way out, and you won't be stumbling on Gu Linghuan's body.
"Well, okay, I'll go talk to the Skywalker Chamber of Commerce then."
Tang Yinqi nodded, a little moved in his eyes.
The Canglan Lantern Festival is a tradition that has existed in Canglan City for a long time, although it is not very grand, but it is a rare cultural project.
Moreover, over the years, because of the various policies of the city lord, people have gradually become richer, and the lantern festival has been held every year, and even attracted many people from other cities!
Originally, Tang Yinqi thought that this year's situation was special, and the attack on Qian Lao was very troublesome, and he might not be able to hold a lantern festival for safety reasons, but he didn't expect the city lord to propose his own vigil.
This spirit of self-sacrifice is really the city lord he is familiar with.
Worthy of the person you like!
Tang Yinqi's eyes when he looked at Song Yixiu also became softer, and the deer in his heart was bumping around.
Not caring about Tang Yinqi's eyes, Song Yixiu glanced at Gu Linghuan, who was eating.
Gu Linghuan seems to have talked a lot less in the past two days, and he is busy with his own affairs every day, as if he is preparing something.
According to the organization, this Gu Linghuan's identity is unknown, there is no previous footprint record, and he suddenly appeared near Canglan City.
Song Yixiu looked at Gu Linghuan and couldn't tell what it was like.
Recalling the relationship during this time, he gradually realized that Gu Linghuan was indeed not quite right.
I don't go out obediently every day, and most of the time I practice alone in my room, or read some books in the city lord's mansion.
The most important thing is that even the eyes that look at him are strange.
