Chapter 1782: Movement Under the Darkness!
The night of the day.
With such a terrifying biting thing happening in Shuiyuan City, the entire city became panicked for a while, after all, the emperor's illness had not been reasonably explained, and now this kind of thing had happened, which naturally made the common people quite afraid.
Inside the castle lord's house.
"Is the investigation clear......" At this time, the city lord stood quietly in the underground cell, watching several men in the cage who were tied up by flowers fall into a coma, and asked the soldiers beside him.
There was only one soldier and the city lord above the corridor of the cage, and other than that.
Bailu, the highest non-commissioned officer who controls the criminal law purgatory of Shuiyuan City.
"City Lord, these people are the few people who tried to bite you during the day, according to the investigation of their subordinates, they seem to have eaten some strange ingredients by mistake, so they fell into crazy ......" Bailu glanced around and found that there were no other figures in the cell, so he spoke.
"What's going on?" Bailu's cautious actions were naturally discovered by Wu Kun, and he asked with a frown.
"City Lord, when investigating the strange power in the bodies of these people, his subordinates vaguely discovered one other thing, and there is one thing that his subordinates don't know whether to say or not." Seeing the city lord's serious inquiry, Bailu whispered.
"Say." Wu Kun's face was pale.
"These guys have a rather strange toxin power left in their bodies, this kind of power has been seen in Steward Tian's house before."
"And at that time, the plague in Shuiyuan City has been completely lifted, and this is also the next chance to see it." Bai Lu opened his mouth slightly, and his body couldn't help but tremble, this toxin has been completely eliminated after the end of the plague, and what Steward Tian saw by chance at home is probably enough to prove something.
"Steward Tian's contribution to Shuiyuan City is obvious to all, and maliciously slandering this kind of heroic hero will suffer from heaven's curse." Listening to Bailu's words, Wu Kun snorted coldly, but some of Steward Tian's recent abnormal actions also appeared in his mind.
"Yes...... My lord, my subordinates just mentioned it casually, and they didn't mean to slander Steward Tian, but since the emperor went back to get contaminated with a bad disease, something was not quite right in Shuiyuan City. Bailu said helplessly.
"I know this, remember not to let a third person know."
"The investigation of these people continues, and if necessary, after communicating with their families, they will do whatever it takes to explore their internal organs and find some useful information." Wu Kun dropped such a sentence and immediately left here.
"This kind of big man, it's really weird......" Watching the city lord leave, Bailu gasped with relief.
Decades ago, before the arrival of the emperor, there was a terrible plague in Shuiyuan City, the plague spread throughout the city, making it a ruined bad land, just when countless people gave up, it was the city lord and Tian Steward two, who went to the sea alone to find the antidote, so as to rescue the entire city, since then, Shuiyuan City for the city lord Wu Kun and Tian Steward two management, quite happy and convinced.
The night passed slowly, the next day.
"Your Excellency." Early in the morning, outside the door of the inn where Xiao Yan lived, a gentle knock on the door appeared.
"You're really in a hurry." Xiao Yan pushed open the door and smiled at him, but today in addition to the three people in white, green clothes and black, there is one more person.
"My lord, this is Lord Rock Owl, a fairyland-level powerhouse."
"Respected alchemist, this is Gu Lao of our Jasmine Mercenary Group, a powerhouse in the late stage of the four-star Dou Immortal, this time you will rely on Gu Lao as your escort when you go to sea, and he will also do his best to protect your safety."
"By the way, I forgot to introduce, my name is Ning Ling, I am in charge of the affairs of the mercenary group, my name is Tan Yulong in white, and Shen Tian in Qingyi." As soon as the door was opened, four figures appeared outside the door, and the black-clothed Ning Ling introduced them in turn.
"Rock owl, I hope to have a happy cooperation." Xiao Yan stretched out his hand over, but Xiao Yan vaguely sensed that this old man named Gu Lao was probably more than that.
"Let's go, the head of the regiment is urging tightly, we are pressed for time, and we will say other things on the way, I hope that the alchemist will not be blamed." After a moment, Ning Ling smiled gently, and immediately prepared to leave here and head towards the dock.
"Let's go." Xiao Yan didn't say much, but followed along.
On the other side, inside the Mercenary Guild.
"Vice President, why do you say the Jasmine Mercenary Group is in such a hurry this time?" A rather luxurious inner hall in the mercenary guild, where a man and a woman appeared.
The man's body was magnificent, with a rather sharp aura and strength, and the woman turned out to be the woman in red who received Xiao Yan yesterday.
"I don't know, but the Jasmine Mercenary Corps has taken on two rather difficult tasks at once this time." The vice president said coldly.
"Oh...... Don't know what the task is? The woman in red became interested and looked at the vice president.
"One seems to be an escort mission...... As for the other one, it seems to be just hunting a sea beast in the sea that has done a lot of evil. ”
"Little Ancestor, it's too dangerous here, you better go back to the royal family." The vice president looked at the woman in red in front of him with a sad face.
"Looks like this is interesting," the woman in red muttered without listening to the vice president's words, and disappeared here.
After the rest, a luxury ferry with a length of nearly 100 meters emerged at the wharf.
At this time, on the deck of the ferry, two shadows stood lightly.
"I heard that your Jasmine Mercenary Group is famous in Abyss City and has never had a record of failure, I hope you won't disappoint me this time." One of the women looked at the graceful woman in front of her and said with a hat on her face.
"Don't worry, our Jasmine Mercenary Group has never missed." Dou Li's shadow smiled slightly, and she didn't explain too much, after all, her fierce murderous aura and six-star Dou Immortal strength were enough to explain everything.
Dou Li, the leader of the Jasmine Mercenary Group, Jasmine, is said to be a beauty, and she is also a powerful six-star Dou Immortal.
"They're coming......" As he spoke, Xiao Yan and the others stepped onto the deck.
"Leader, this guy is an immortal-level alchemist, and now everything is ready, only Dongfeng owes it." Just came to the deck, there were seven people in total, Ning Ling said heartily.
This time the mission is successful, they can also make a lot of money, so everyone has a smile on their faces, after all, since the emperor fell ill, many times they have not received anything, and now this kind of big business is rare.
"You have five minutes, you can ask about all matters related to this voyage, and I, as the head of your Jasmine Mercenary Group, have the right to tell you or not." Looking at Xiao Yan's deep pupils, Dou Li's shadow said simply.
"There is no demand...... I just finished my retreat and wanted to go out to experience it, and it happened that there were some kind of devil sea beasts that were rumored outside the sea area of Shuiyuan City, and I wanted to see it, and it was worth the trip. Xiao Yan was a little surprised that the leader of the Jasmine Mercenary Regiment was actually a woman, and that strength and aura were far from being comparable to ordinary powerhouses.
"In that case...... Let's go. ”
"Gu Lao, along the way, protect him."
"Remember, everything must be according to my orders, otherwise even if you are an immortal-level alchemist, I will not be polite to you."
"After the deed is done, you will not be paid a penny." Jasmine glanced at Xiao Yan lightly, she didn't know why, she always felt that under Xiao Yan's seemingly harmless face, there seemed to be a demon living there.
"Set sail." With a soft sound, the huge and luxurious ferry moved slowly, from this pier to the endless sea.
